This is it. It's time to go downstairs. I packed everything in my room into 6 boxes. I'm ready to leave the pack. I take one last look in the mirror in my bathroom and smile. I actually smiled. I can't believe I actually look like a normal pack member. I used my sister's old makeup that she left behind along with an old curling iron I found in the garbage. I did a simple white shimmer with a black smokey eye. I did a light curl to go with it
Unknown POV
Why hasn't she come down yet? Maybe the dress didn't fit. "Shit! Maybe I should go check on her." "NO! You know she has to come to you. It's the only way boss." My best friend exclaimed. I stood outside the pack house looking through the window. "It's getting harder to sneak in boss. Maybe Esther knows about you." "How would she know Leo? It's impossible for her to know unless she is working with a witch." I explained. "Shh! I think she's coming." Leo whisper yelled. I froze. I can't believe I'm gonna see her wolf. I don't know how she's been able to hide from me every time she shifts. I stay right outside the border so I can keep an eye on her. "She's gonna make an amazing Luna, Leo."
Zaraphine's POV
Coming out of my bedroom all I can hear is the pack members down stairs talking to each other. I try to stay as quiet as I can so that I don't call to much attention to myself. Once I reach the top step and I can see everyone they all stop talking and stare at me. Well shit. Is it to late to run? I ask my self. I continue my way down the stairs, I am definitely ready to vomit. This is something I'm so not used to. "Here she is everyone! The birthday girl has arrived." My mother calls out to the crowd while making her way towards me with an angry scowl on her face. "Zara where the hell have you been?! And what in the fuck are you wearing? I gave you an outfit to wear! Where did you even get this? This is way to nice of a dress for someone like you!" She whispered yelled. Yep she's furious. "It was laid on my bed Luna. I assumed this was what you gave me." I half lied. I knew she would never give this to me to wear today but I don't know who could've given it to me either. Everyone hates me here. "Don't lie to me child! Let's just get on with this so I can go back to bed." She said. "Yes Luna."
The party is almost over which means I now have to 'shift'. This should be fun I thought. "Everybody please quiet down and any unmated males come to the front while Zaraphine shifts into her wolf to find her mate." She says while giving me one of her sickly sweet smiles. I slowly make my way to her not ready for what it is to come. "Zara please shift for the pack." Esther states cooly. "I can't." I whisper to her. "What is that Zaraphine?" She asks with a smirk. I drop my head in shame and say it again louder, so everyone can hear me " I can't. I still have not met my wolf."
Gasps and whispers are heard throughout the room. "Abomination!" Someone yells. "She's not even a wolf!" My brother screams from the back of the room. I am now in tears staring at my pack members knowing what is about to come. "Well it is settled then. I, Esther Knight, Luna of Blue Moon pack banish you! You will live your life as a rogue from here on. You are not welcome on any pack land unless granted by an alpha! You have 5 minutes to be off my pack lands before you are killed like the rogue you are!" My mother screams at me. I rush past her up the stairs with tears steadily falling from my eyes. I reach my room in record time and start throwing my boxes out the window. "Shit!" I scream. I don't have anymore time so without thinking I jump from my window. I am almost positive I broke my ankle but I get up, grab my boxes and run as fast as I can to the edge of the pack.
1 year laterIt's hard to believe that a year ago I was a weak slave. You see, leaving my pack was a blessing in disguise. I ran for a few days making sure I stayed far away from any packs. I managed to find a small clearing that seemed to call to me. After a few months I made it my home. I built a little cottage right next to a small pond. I planted vegetables that I got from the human town a few miles south. It was my own little paradise. Sort of. It hasn't been easy to say the least. It's almost an every day occurrence to
As I'm watching the men in front of me, I see Derek shifting on his feet. Knowing he's about to jump I mentally prepare myself. Getting in a fighting stance he lunges for my arms but I seen it coming so I move to the left slightly and grab his face and twist. He falls with a loud thud, dead. 'One down' I said to myself. "You shouldn't have done that bitch!" The muscular one said. Well now he's pissed. "I don't want to hurt you guys. Just let me go and I'll stay out of this area. Please." I begged."You're not getting out this bitch! No matter how much you beg." Th
Unknown POV'She's amazing.' My wolf says. 'Yeah she is. I have to tell Leo.' I tell him. As I'm walking away from the scene I hear her start yelling. 'Why does she do that every time she kills a wolf that's attacking her. She's just defending herself.' My wolf asks. 'I don't know. She's different I say before shutting him out.
'Does this man ever shut up?' I thought to myself. "Dude enough with the questions. I don't know why or how but, yes. I can." I told the very attractive man in front of me. 'I don't understand. She's not our mate.' I hear his wolf. "You're right. I'm not your mate. But I also don't know why I can do certain things and this is one of those things. All I know is it started happening after I left my pack." I explained.I don't know how long we have been sitting here but it's currently dark outside. My eyes are fluttering closed as I feel my head bobbing. "Why d
When I woke up I had silver chains on my wrists and ankles sitting in a small brick cell. "Hello!! Why am I in here!!!" I yelled out. Silence. Nothing but my chains clanking together can be heard. "You know I can't shift so these chains are pointless!" Just my luck. How did Lyle even find me. This is ridiculous."Can someone tell me why I'm here!!!! I'm just a fucking rogue! I don't do anything! I don't cross into packs! I don't hurt people unless I have to!!! Why the fuck am I a prisoner in this god forsaken hell hole!!!!!!" I scream. "Shut the fuck up!!" S
Alpha Atticus' POV"Where is she brother?" I sneer at him. "How have you lost the only thing that I want in just mere minutes? I trusted you with one task Cain. One task that I would kill others for failing at so why should I not kill you?" I see the lump in his throat bobble. The fear flashes in his eyes. I have every right to be upset. I trusted him with my mate, to keep her safe until she found her wolf so I could bring her to Blood Moon and make her my Luna.
"Zaraphine, how are you enjoying the evening?" Lakota asks casually. "It's nice Alpha. Everything is beautiful and the people are nice." I tell him truthfully. "Good because soon this will all be ours." He whispers in my ear. "What do you mean Alpha?" "You shall see soon my love." He's planning something. I can feel it, but what is he planning. 'Does it have to do with the other Alphas and Lunas here?' I think to myself.The song finished and he led me back up the stage and seated me on his lap. He's running slow circles along my lower back as we watch the people
Making our way through the woods I can't help but feel nervous. Nobody has said a word since we left Lakota's pack. Atticus shifted back to his wolf, which I'm kind of thankful for. I mean don't get me wrong he is definitely something to look at but it was also a little awkward. 'Just talk to him dummy. You're making it weird.' My wolf scolds me. 'Oh shut up. If he wanted to talk to us he would've said something already.' I reply back. 'Wuss.' She chuckles before I shut her out, focusing on where I'm walking.We make it to what I'm assuming is his pack in ab
