Chapter 1

Ebony's POV

  

"Happy birthday, girl!" My best friends were waiting for me and said at the same time.

 

Well, today is my sixteenth birthday. 

 

"Are you coming over today after school? My mom and dad have something for you." Kate asks. 

 

Kate's mom and dad are the Alpha and Luna of our pack here at Blood Moon. Five different Packs go to Blood Moon High. Blood Moon, Silver Moon, Red Moon, Thunder Moon, And Grey Moon. We are like a college campus, and some of the different pack members live in dorms. But, mainly, the wealthy seniors choose to stay on campus. 

  

  "I have to work after school and won't get off until late," I told Kate.

  

  "Derek will pick you up if you need, and you can stay with us tonight." She said, With a worried look. 

  

  She knows my home situation, but I told her not to tell her mom and dad.

  

  "Maybe tomorrow, I'm off then," I told her, and she nodded okay. 

  

  As we were walking to my locker, I felt something wet hit my face and clothes. I figured they were water balloons after a while. I tried to get out of the way of the balloons, but they kept hitting me. Finally, I ended up falling on the floor.

  

  Looking up, I see Sandy, Cindy, and Mark standing there. Keith walks up to me with a trash bag and dumps flour all over me. I looked up at him, and he was smiling down at me.

  

  "Happy Birthday, Loser!" He said and walked away.

 

Keith is our Alpha’s son. A big bully in my life.

 

"I can't believe he would throw flour on you! I'm going to beat his ass. No! I'm going to have Derek beat his ass. You know he hates when Keith bullies you. " Kate said

  

  "I know but don't tell him. I don't want him getting in trouble. It wouldn't be good for the treaty either." I said, and she knew I was right. Our pack has been working with the Silvermoon Pack since I was born. I didn't want them to end their treaty because of me. Kate and I were in the bathroom. I had a spare pair of clothes because this was not the first time Keith had pulled a stunt like this.

  

  "Well! We need to let my parents know so they can do something about this." She said as I walked out of the bathroom stall.

  

  "I'm fine, I promise. Let's get to class." 

  

  We headed to our first class, which was math. 

 

"Nice for the two of you to join us. Take your seat," Mrs. Grammer said. So we went to our table and sat next to our other best friend, Kayla. 

  

  "You okay?" Kayla whispered, and I nodded.

  

  We listened to Mrs.Grammer. She told us to do pages 32 and 33 in our math books. After a few minutes, I felt something hit the back of my head. I turned around and saw Keith looking around like he had done nothing. I turned back around, and something hit my head again. I looked down and saw two balled-up pieces of paper. I turned and looked at him again, and he looked at me, 

  

  "What are you looking at, loser?" he asked. I turned back around and felt it again, and now I was pissed. "Stop throwing stuff at me," I said. 

  

  "Is something wrong, Ebony?" Mrs. Grammer asked, annoyed. 

  

"No. Nothing is wrong. I am sorry," I replied. Mrs. Grammer was a member of the Silvermoon Pack. There was no way she would listen to anything I said.

 

  "I have a problem. Ebony keeps staring at me and saying weird things to me. She is making me uncomfortable," Keith said. 

  

  "No, I'm not! He keeps throwing stuff at me. He did it three times." 

  

  "That's not true! Mrs. Grammer, you have known me my whole life. Ebony is trying to get me in trouble. The other day Ebony told me she was in love with me and wanted to be my girlfriend, and I turned her down. So she started to stalk me," Keith said. 

  

  "No, I didn't. You are lying. "I replied 

  

  "Enough, Ebony! You can't make up stories about someone because you are upset that they don't like you. I asked you if everything was okay, and you said yes. You need to apologize to the young Alpha this instant." She said

  

  "But," 

  

  "No buts, Ebony. You know what, leave." She said, and I picked up my bag to leave. Before I walked out of the room, Keith said, "I'm sorry, Ebony but a bastard child, with a hoe and an alcoholic mom, on welfare is not the girl for me." Fits of laughter were heard all through the class. I wanted to cry but held my tears. I would not cry in front of him.

  

  "Are you okay?" I heard Kate ask before hugging me.

  

  "I'm fine! I'm just tired of him bullying me." I said.

  

  "I can't believe Mrs. Grammer acted like he didn't say anything to you. She should have kicked him out." Kayla said

  

  "Yeah, but you know she is from his pack. She would never go against him for me. No one would; I am poor and a nobody. He is a soon-to-be Alpha of his pack." 

  

  "You aren't a nobody, and it's not right how he treats you and gets away with it. Don't sell yourself short," Kate said.

  

  We walked to the cafeteria and went to the lunch line. After we got our food, we sat at our usual table. We were talking and laughing, and then I saw Sandy walking toward me, and she was staring straight at me.

  

  "I heard you tried to get with my boyfriend." She said.

  

  "No, I didn't," I replied 

  

  "You think I believe you. Keith told me, you bitch. He would never get with you. He told me you tried to suck his cock, and he denied you. You are so desperate it's sad." She said,

  

  " That's not true. He is lying," I said

  

  "Don't deny it; you know you threw yourself on me. You acted like a slut getting on your knees and begging to taste my cock." He said

  

  "Shut up, Keith; she would never do that," Kate said

  

  "Well, you truly don't know your friend. So I have no reason to lie."

  

  " I didn't; I swear," I started, and then Dandy threw her water on me."

  

  "You are thirsty for my boyfriend's cock, so there you go." She said

  

  Everyone around me was laughing except for Kate and Kayla. Kayla looked at me in pity while Kate was cussing Keith out.

  

  I couldn't take it anymore and ran out of the cafeteria. I was so tired of being treated like trash. I was thinking about switching schools at the end of the year, but then I began to think I should do it sooner. 

 

  "Ebony, wait" I looked up and saw Kayla running to catch up to me. "Don't let them get to you," She said.

  

  "I can't do this anymore, Kayla. I am done with this school. I will see if Alpha Michael will let me transfer to the human schools," I said.
