Prologue

Today is the most special day of my life because it's my eighteenth birthday after all, I would not let the pack get the satisfaction of hurting me today. I may be human but that doesn't mean I can't have a mate, there have been so many people in this world that have human mates and I am not a normal human, I am a Witch Princess born to the King and Queen of the Silver Moon coven but unfortunately without any powers. I am not sad that I don't have powers or that I am not as powerful as my parents were but that still hurts when people treat you like a piece of shit just because they think you are human, they don't know me, they don't know my family yet they judge me.

I have had enough of abuse for the past eight years at the hands of this pack, but not anymore, once I find my mate, I will get out of this hell hole I call home and maybe my mate can help me find my way back home to my coven, I could then try to find out the truth behind my parents’ death. The thought of my parents filled my eyes with tears, I blinked my eyes stopping my tears from spilling through my eyes because I know mom and dad wouldn't want me to stay upset or cry especially on my eighteenth birthday.

I pushed the sad thoughts away, taking a deep breath as a small smile played on my lips at the thought of my mate. I worked around the kitchen, washing dishes, and cooking lunch for the entire pack. The only good thing about this pack is despite being abusive and bullies they never starve me like I heard some packs do, yeah, some packs usually starve their maids because they think they aren't worthy of food, if only someone could make them see sense. I cooked chicken noodles, baked chicken breast with parmesan, some chicken sandwiches, mashed potatoes, soup and some brownies for dessert at lunch. It was a tradition for the pack to have deserts on special occasions and no today's occasion is not my birthday, but today the future Alpha of the Night Howlers is returning after the training.

Once I was done cooking, I cleaned the entire kitchen and washed the used dishes and set the food on the dining table. Once everything was placed on the dining table, I walked back to the kitchen so the omegas could serve the food to the pack members. I washed my hands and dried them with a kitchen towel, when I smell a new strange, yet addicting scent. The scent was quite intoxicating and was pulling me towards it. I was confused why I was able to smell a scent and why was I getting attracted to it? Wait a minute, I can't smell scents because I didn't have supernatural senses and if I was able to smell this scent then that could only mean one thing.

My feet had a mind of their own as they moved towards the door of the kitchen, I stopped short when I saw a tall and handsome figure standing at the kitchen door. I have never seen anyone look so handsome and the attraction and pull I felt towards this stranger is something unexplainable. He looked at me with so many emotions, he smiled looking at me with gentle eyes filled with love and I almost instantly melted into him. He had beautiful golden-colored eyes that almost glowed in the sunlight, his short dirty blonde hair looked soft and silky making me want to run my figures through them.

What the hell is wrong with you Ruby? You have never been attracted to any of the men in the pack so what has changed? Idiot, you already know what has changed. I was having an internal battle between my heart and brain and he looked at me with amusement in his eyes. I squinted my eyes as I gave him a little glare and he chuckled; his voice sounded like music to my ears. I took a step back suddenly, afraid that he might be one of the pack members who is here probably because he wanted to take his turn in beating me today. The moment my feet tried to move away from him he growled loudly, his growl was so powerful it vibrated through the entire packhouse. In an instance he was in front of me and he pulled me in his arms as he breathed in my scent and sparks erupted wherever our bodies made contact confirming my thoughts.

"Mine" he growled possessively as we heard gasps from behind us, but nothing mattered at moment because I was in the arms of my mate and I felt safe and happy for the first time in my life
