#Chapter5Worst Birthday Ever-01Catalaya's POVHappy birthday, Cat!!!! "Ahh." I yelled, falling from my bed. "Are you guys trying to kill me on my own birthday?" I shouted, glaring daggers at my best friends and my brother. "Besides, what are you guys doing here so early in the morning?" "What are you talking about 'early'? It's practically midday." Nic replied. "What!!" I shouted, looking over at the clock to see it was 11:50 am. I jumped up off the floor in surprise. Mom was gonna murder me. I couldn't believe I woke up this late, so I didn't get to prepare breakfast."Woah woah slow down, what's the rush?" Merlin asked. "I woke up late mom is gonna kill me I didn't get to prepare breakfast.""There's no need to worry about that mom, dad and Jasmine went to the pack house early this morning, besides you really think I'd allow you to wake up at the crack of dawn like some kind of rooster to prepare breakfast for people who are capable of doing
#Chapter6Worst Birthday Ever-02Noah huffed and glared at his sister, then walked away with Jasmine trailing behind him like some kind of lost puppy. "Thanks for that." I told her as I entered her room. "No problem besides, he knows not to mess with me," was her cheeky reply. "Ok, we don't have much time. You guys can appreciate each other after we're done. You need to go take a bath and wash your hair." Aquarius said, leading me towards the bathroom. I closed the bathroom door and stripped off my clothes. Before stepping in, I turned on the shower and let the water warm up to the right temperature. I could feel my muscles relax as the warm water poured onto my body. I grabbed the shampoo and squeezed some in my hand before massaging it into my hair. I scrubbed my scalp, washed the shampoo, and then massaged it in the conditioner. After washing my hair, I lathered myself in body wash and scrubbed my skin of all sweat and grease. I wrapped a towel around my body
#Chapter7Living With Rejection-01It's been two weeks since my birthday. Summer break had officially started, and I've now moved into the pack house. Lana stayed true to her word. She got me a room across from hers, and that's where I was now drowning in my sorrows. The day after my birthday, I felt a wave of energy wash over me, and then I fainted. At first, we thought someone had cast a spell on me, but Lana couldn't find any evidence of foul play, and I didn't feel any different, so we just ignored it. Also, remember when Harley told me that Noah would regret rejecting me? Yeah, well, she was wrong because he doesn't. Instead, he dedicated himself to tormenting me and sleeping with every girl he could find just to try and hurt my feelings. Sylvia had even forbidden him from seeing any other girl and tried to get him to take back his rejection, but I told her not to because I wanted nothing to do with him. Dominic has moved into the pack house to be closer to me. He
#Chapter8Living With Rejection-02Thanking elder Norris and promising to visit again soon. I left the cabin to ponder over my dilemma in the comfort of my room. Opening the doors of the pack house, I walked to the kitchen again. Ignoring the laughter and whispers around me. I opened the fridge to grab some leftover lasagna. The moment I opened the fridge, it immediately slammed shut. I looked up to see Cassidy; she's a vampire, "There isn't any food here to be wasted on freaks, so why don't you go get your own?" she hissed. I sighed, seeing everyone looking in our direction to find out my next move. I had no intention of fighting with her, so I just shook my head and walked away, everyone laughed, calling me names, but like usual, I ignored them. Going up the stairs, I bumped into Ashley, Jasmine's so-called best friend, "Look, it's the freak walk far from her or you might catch something," she sneered. "Oh stop it, Ashley," Jasmine replied. "She's
#Chapter9Aftermath Of Rejection-01Third person POVDominic Freeman sat in the pack's library, drafting up a plan. He knew that since his parents had kicked Catalaya out, he had to find some way to provide for her. After all, she's only 17 years old. Despite what his parents said, she was still his little sister, and he would do anything for her. It didn't bother him when they told everyone that she wasn't their daughter because he already knew it.Dominic was four years old when his parents brought Catalaya home. Even though he already had his sister Jasmine he still loved her very much. Growing up, he started noticing things like the fact that Catalaya had different coloured skin than him and the rest of the family, but that changed nothing. When he was thirteen, he heard his sister, who was nine years old, asking his father and mother why she had different colour skin from them. They told her she got her skin colour from a great grandparent who had the same colour skin as
#Chapter10Aftermath Of Rejection-02He dropped the paper in his hand, casting a spell that took him to the door of his parents' room. As he opened the door, his father appeared beside his mother on the bed, "Mom, what's wrong?" Noah asked, looking around the room frantically for intruders as his mom mumbled between sobs."She's. Gone. My. Baby. Is. Gone." Noah looked at his mother, confused, "Who's gone, mom?" That seemed to be the only type of conversation he'll be having today. After not hearing an answer to his son's question, Archangel Gabriel took the paper his wife had in her hands. He saw a note written in his daughter's handwriting. He read out loud:Dear mom and dad,I'm writing this note to let you know that I am leaving the pack by the time you find this I'll be gone. Don't blame yourselves or think you were bad parents and that's why I left, in fact, you guys were the best parents a girl could ask for but I made a pact and I intend on keeping m
#Chapter11Aftermath Of Rejection-03In the meanwhile, Damion was downstairs in the library, trying to track the car he had bought for his sister on her birthday. This was his only hope of finding her because all traces of her scent had already vanished. However, he was met with disappointment when he found out the GPS had been removed. He was now neck-deep in sadness because he couldn't find his baby sister. She was just 17 years old. Who would protect her? She had no one. He started blaming himself for not being a better brother. He thought it was his fault that she felt like nobody cared about her. Tears clouded his eyes as he thought of his baby sister, whom he couldn't protect. Gabriel had finally succeeded after hours of getting his wife to calm down, which earned cuts and bruises all over his body. Even though she was still pissed at him, at least she wasn't on a war path. He was about to explain his actions when there was a bang on his office door. Renae ran i
#Chapter12Unexpected Situations-01Catalaya's povIt's been 8 days since we left the pack. We had been driving aimlessly at first, stopping at motels to rest until Freya suggested we go to New Orleans. We all asked her if she were crazy. Because what's the sense of leaving only to get found by her parents until she explained that her grandmother left a big cabin for her in the bayou that her parents didn't know about. So we could stay there until we decided what to do, plus no one would expect us to go there. Also, Lana had cast a cloaking spell on us, so her mom or anyone else wouldn't be able to find us.We were currently in the car singing the lyrics to Shout Out To My Ex by Little Mix that was playing on the radio.'This is a shout out to my exHeard he in love with some other chick......Well, I'm, all the way upI swear you'll never, you'll never bring me do'I had taken my eyes off the road for a second to see what Alana was showing me on the map.
