I slowly trudged through my normal morning routine, dreading the next part of my day... School... it was probably the worst thing I've ever had to go to.
Maybe I could just skip today; I thought as I looked in the mirror. I think this every morning but as always I knew someone would catch me, they always did.
The same empty and lifeless green eyes stared back at me as I looked in the mirror. My wavy hair stretched down slightly past my shoulders like it always had. My baby fat still hadn't decided to leave my body yet, even though I was already in year 12. As a werewolf baby fat was very rare so I stood out like a sore thumb!
The same hate filled thoughts crossed my mind as I thought about how much I loathed the person that I was looking at. I sighed grabbing my bag, and slowly walked outside.
The halls of my school were crowded, but as usual I felt isolated. I was an outcast because I was made fun of by him. The one guy that everybody followed, because if they didn't he would complain and they would be punished.As I tried to manoeuvre my way through the crowd ignoring the jokes about me and the sneers, I noticed my brother was standing next to the guys that were laughing at me. He was just like them. He didn't care about me. Not anymore anyway.
I had to take care of myself because my parents went on a mission but never returned, we could only assume they were dead. Suddenly, I was snapped out of my thoughts when I bumped into someone.Not just anyone. Him.
Zach, the very person who decided to ruin my life. Son of the current Alpha and the most popular boy in school. He wrapped his arms protectively around his girlfriend, Cassidy.
"Careful babe, you might get some kind of disease" he joked.
She laughed and looked at me, "What are you looking at piggy? Goddess only knows how you ended up as a wolf instead of a stupid swine."
"I'm not a pig." I tried to get out, but it only came out as a whisper."Excuse me? What was that, pig?" She sneered."My name is Raven." Tears welled up in my eyes."Well then," Zach started, "If you're a bird, why don't you fly away?" He made a 'shoo' motion with his hands. People within earshot laughed."How can you say that to me?" I said choked up, "I'm...your...mate." I hiccupped between each word, making the sentence hard to understand."Mates? With you?" He let out a roar of laughter, "Not even in your wildest dreams, piggy." That was it, I'd had enough. Running outside, I was immediately hit with the hot, humid summer air. I dropped all my things and ran as fast as I could to my house. When I reached it, I only cried more.This was my sad life, my mate, my future Alpha, my bully.I collapsed on my bed and cried myself to sleep.When I woke up I heard the front door slam shut and my so called brother calling my name. I got up quickly and ran downstairs. "Why the fuck did you leave school? Goddess grow up you pathetic bitch." He screamed in my face and walked away, "make dinner for 4 tonight, the boys are coming round so make it good." He shouted over his shoulder as he slammed his bedroom door.
That's all I was worth to him, a cook, a cleaner, a slave and occasionally a punching bag if he had been drinking. I made my way into the kitchen and cooked two large lasagnes, knowing what him and his friends were like I knew I had to make enough to feed two families!When I was done and I had set up the table I heard laughter fill the hall, I ran outside and went for a run rather then putting up with the comments I would get from him and his friends.
When I got home it must have been around 1am, his friends were gone and he was asleep. I made my way inside and cleaned up the mess in the kitchen and game room, if he came down in the morning to the mess I'd get hit and I knew it wasn't worth it.After about an hour of cleaning I sighed and made my way to my room, collapsing into my warm bed I fell asleep.
'BEEP BEEP BEEP' My alarm woke me from my sleep to another day in hell. I quickly showered, got dressed and grabbed my bag. Off I headed in the direction knowing I'd have to put up with more sneers and snide comments from my mate. The day went by as usual, but when it came to lunch I went to sit under my usual tree, avoiding everyone in the halls and lunch room. It was peaceful out here. well that is until I heard him, Zach. Laughing his head off as he made his way over to me. "Hey piggy." His cold voice sliced at my heart yet again. "Why are you out here all alone? Scared of the big bad wolves?" He laughed at himself as if he was the best comedian in the world."Just go away Zach, I don't care what you think of me, just leave me alone." I sighed to myself, proud that I didn't stutter.He looked pissed when I glanced up at him, "who gave you the right to talk to me like that? You're a no good, fat bitch and nobody wants you here." He growled.
"Um..." I awkwardly looked down at myself, "Do you have clothes?""Of course," I followed him into the largest house in the small village. He called his mother who came down setting clothes out for me. She smiled, but her eyes held a mournful look. I felt bad for her, even though I was rejected, she lost the one she loved. She lost her actual mate, the one that accepted her. I couldn't help myself from pulling her into a hug, "I'm sorry to hear of your loss."She returned my embrace and sniffed, "thank you my dear," she pulled back, "now lets get you dressed." I blushed as i noticed i'd hugged her to my naked body.Quickly changing in the bathroom Dylan showed me, I came downstairs to be greeted by three boys who I could tell were the wolves from before.They were now dressed too, including Dylan. They introduced themselves as Jace, Ash, and Ethan. They were all good looking, but that only lead me to think about Zach. Tears welled up in my eyes fo
I finally got home at night from a party. It was pretty boring, so I tried to decide what to do with the rest of my Friday night.Mmmm... I'm hungry I know that much. Walking into the house I called out to Raven. No answer. I called again. "Maybe she's sleeping." I said to myself, "if you're asleep Raven you'll pay I swear." I shouted ahead of myself so if she woke she would know what was coming.I walked upstairs to see the door slightly ajar. Opening it, I could see no one in the room before me. She never goes out, she has no friends, we made sure of that!I turned on the light to see a note on the bed. My eyes widened and I quickly grabbed it to see what it said.Shit, shit, shit, shit!Oh goddess what was I going to do, selfishly I wasn't even worried about what was going to happen to her out there. But instead I was worried about Zach and his reaction. It's not my fault, we all did this to her but I would have to let him know.
The people in Dylan's pack were all so nice, especially considering they are a warrior pack.They all accepted me without so much as a frown or worried glace. It was incredible how close they all were and how much respect they had for Dylan as a leader despite his young age. They trusted him whole-heartedly so when he said i was staying they knew his judgement was sound.We were just getting back from a pack camp fire. It was nice to finally be surrounded by people that cared. This pack was amazing, we never held pack events like that just for the sake of it. I felt like everyone else, and couldn't believe I even thought this was a bad idea earlier.With everything that has happened, the campfire just kept my mind off of things."Hey come on, let's get to bed." Dylan said. I nodded and he brought me up to an empty room in the packhouse. "This room is yours, you can do anything you want with it, I hope it's ok?" i nodded, taking it all in. "My room is right
This girl was blowing my mind. No wonder she was meant for a Luna position, she was sweet and caring, funny and so eager to learn and do more for the pack. She was stunning in a natural, minimal effort sort of way and by goddess was she slowly creaping into my heart.I didn't think it would be possible after losing my mate, i wasn't overly close or bonded to her but i felt the pull and knew one day we would be close and in love. We just didn't get the time together to develope as mates.But here was this young woman with no bond to pull me in, completely baffling me.She stayed in my room on her first three nights here but last night she didn't. I would be lying if i said i wasn't dissapointed. In fact i almost went to her as i couldn't sleep in the end, but i thought better of it. If she was getting comfortable i didn't want to get in the way of that.Laying here in bed, she consumed my thoughts as usual. How has she drawn me in so deeply? Just as
Shopping with his mother seemed to go by in a blur! She was so sweet and friendly and she kept complementing me and telling me which colours were for my skin type! She was a great person to go out with, if she were human I can imagine her being a person shopper to the stars! Haha, she was so excited about the date I think she was even happier about it then I am.I put on the black skater dress I bought for tonight (well technically he bought it as his mother put it onto his account, apparently at his request) along with some red stilettos that matched my lipstick. Placing the red belt around my waist I glanced at myself in the mirror. My curled wavy hair flowing half way down my back now, I hadn't even noticed it had grown but I loved the new length! I hardly recognised myself, I had lost my puppy fat, my cheekbones seem to have made an appearance and I was dressed up and looking... dare I say it.... beautiful! I'd never felt so happy staring at myself in a mirror before.
He leads her to a small table in the quiet restaurant. He pulls out her chair. She sits. He sits across from her. The only light is from a few well placed candles. A waiter approaches and, without saying a word, pours them wine and leaves the bottle. No menus. He has ordered for them in advance. There will be no interruptions from wait staff aside from the bringing and clearing of the courses.He watches as she sips the wine. She notices. Blushes, a shy smile slips out. He loves watching her. He smiles warmly back as if to comfort her. It does. She begins to enjoy his gaze. Soaking it in, feeling his eyes move over her. From her eyes to her nose, cheeks, lips. The curve of her neck. Slope of her shoulders. Her chest. The tiny bit of cleavage just peeking out from her dress. Again, she blushes. This time, so does he. They g
The date was amazing, she had fun and so did I. The contradiction between the car rides and the restaurant were almost laughable. On the way to and from the date we blared music and sang along like children, but on the date not a word was spoken out loud and yet every action from both of us seemed to speak volumes. It seems so natural with Raven, everything with her feels how I imagined everything to feel with a destined mate... except the touch though, but even that would come if we chose to mate each other.That’s all I want, to mate her and make her mine. She’s too perfect to let go but I don’t want to scare her off, she just got here and is still shattered on the inside. But there’s also the fact that she wasn’t officially rejected, our bond would be amazing and strong but there will always be a bond there with her past.
