The Rejected Hybrid

I woke up before the sun could rise and stamped out of my bed feeling weak, but I dared not lay back, or I would have my bones broken. They will beat me like a non-living thing because everybody hates me. 

I will call myself a slave, an omega, or maybe lower than all this. What do you expect from an awkward wolf, strange and demon alike? I'm termed "rejected." Everyone in the Silver Moon Pack treats me like a slave, all because I was born causing pain instead of the joy that other pups bring when born. 

It's awful to be hated from birth for something you don't understand; as I grew older, I realized what I did and how odd I am.

Dad had always hated me and would get enraged each time he set his eyes on me. He keeps telling me how much he regrets being my father. He won't stop threatening to kill me or banish me away. 

All this was because I killed my mother, but was that the truth? That's what everyone concluded. I have no right to justify it. My mom passed away after going through very severe labor. 

She made sure I never died and risked her life to give birth to me. The pain of labor, which she went through that night, was lingering on everyone's lips. I learned she was convulsing; I heard her legs and thighs were all covered with blood; I heard many things that were so awful. 

I can't help but wonder how she would have felt, how she must have cursed me for making her go through such excruciating pain... 

It was said that when her scream became so intense, Dad, who was also feeling the misery of his mate, left the waiting room and barged into the labor room to check on her. 

He saw how painful the labour was and ordered them to kill me to save his beloved wife, but then, right in his eyes, she made the last attempt to give birth to me, which she succeeded in. 

I finally came out, but at the same moment, she fell into a coma.

My mom passed away later that day. My mother died, and that was the same day my odd appearance occurred. 

My different colored eyes and the burning power I knew I was a wolf, but at the same time, I was something else; it was like my body was divided into two. I could feel another strange power in me, but I couldn't use it, and I'm weak all the time. 

Dad had mated with another werewolf, and they had gotten two children, a boy and a girl, aged 16 and fourteen, respectively. They are an addition to my pain. 

Walking out of the room, my eyes caught my reflection in the mirror, and I shut my eyes, not wanting to see more of my miserable self. 

My name is Elena. I got the surname Wolve, but I don't tell people because no one would believe it, except those who knew me when I was born. 

Who would believe I am the daughter of the Alpha king, Daren Wolve? A name feared by other packs around us. My father, Daren Wolve, rose to great power after conquering and taking over two packs, making other packs respect him as a god because he was so powerful and his wolf was one of the most fiery. 

I opened my eyes and moved the fringe of my dirty brunette hair, which was crying to be washed and permed to look straight and beautiful like it should be, 

 My eyes were still heavy, and I wished to doze more. After having a late night, I needed more time to sleep, but I dared not go back to bed, or I would miss my daily chores, which was going to lead to another round of beating... 

Today, I would finally be sneaking to school. Yes, I have decided to have a glimpse of that great school where different wolves from other packs gather for learning. I know I am restricted from stepping out, but my curiosity won't let me. I had already found a secret passageway. My father and his Luna, alongside the beta, would be visiting a neighboring pack. 

Today is my only opportunity, and I just can't lose it. The only people who had eyes on me are leaving, so I should go over and have a glance before running back. Daren, 

My dad kept me bound in the house out of shame, as he believed I would disgrace his family if people saw me. I was his first child, but came with nothing but sadness. Taking his beloved wife made him sad, and definitely, his hatred for me would never go away until my death. I was rejected by him. 

His heart rejects everything about me, and that makes me a slave instantly instead of a royal princess. Well, he doesn't even regard me as his daughter. 

I'm 16 years old, and yesterday was my first day of shift. I was alone in my room as I successfully transformed into a full wolf; I thought I would die as my entire bone cracked and heat filled me up.

My skin was on fire, my inner energy seemed to seep away, all my muscles enlarged and reformed; you can't imagine how happy I was, how pleased my wolf, Lena, was after I succeeded; she kept leaping in joy at being free finally. 

I was happy as well, knowing that it would soon be easy to shift without pain, but something strange happened after that transformation: I felt another animal in me; I noticed something else in me, like another kind of beast, but I couldn't tell, and every time I tried talking to it, there was no response. It appears to be sleeping... 

Well, I care little about it. At least I'm not pregnant, and it isn't affecting my wolf. 

I didn't have much time to enjoy my wolf form as I turned back to my human form to go about my endless chores... 

I looked back at the mirror and hissed, reciting my daily prayer, "Can this different colored eyeball be removed please?" I pleaded to the moon goddess in my mind. 

"Elena, you have wasted a lot of time." Be quick, and let's head to school. I can't wait to see other handsome wolves. Who knows, maybe my mate would be there! Do you think we have a chance of having a mate?" Lena, my inner wolf, asked, and I smiled.  

Do you think we have a chance with these blue and red eyes and the fact that my birth killed the Luna? 

I shrugged, feeling another wave of rejection. 

"Oh, God! Elena, she is coming!" My wolf screamed, and I knew who it was already. 

Elf, my stepmom, 

Gosh!! 

I dashed into the kitchen, arranged the plates by size, and began washing. 

"Oh, it worked... My lie made you begin your chores quickly...." Lena chuckled, making me laugh too. 

She is just my reason to be happy. She is the only living being who hasn't rejected me. 

After some minutes, I was done. I picked up the broom and began to sweep the whole sitting room and hallways... 

I was bent over sweeping the last hallway, exhausted but unable to rest; today is different; a minor mistake and Dad would shatter my little joy of sneaking to school, so I need to please him even if he doesn't notice it. 

My legs quivered as more waves of weakness rushed through me... 

I was indeed feeling sleepy and dizzy... 

Just then, the broomstick hit someone on the head as I raised it out of tiredness. 

I looked up weakly and shock swept through me... 

There was Elf, the new Luna, the second wife of my father, my second mother. There is no need to call her my mom because she isn't. Her hatred for me can't be measured. 

I'm... sorry... 'I ' 

My voice was cut short with a heavy slap that sent me to the ground. 

"You can never kill me like you killed your mother, you little devil!" She yelled angrily, her face pure red as she gave me another kick on my belly, making me yelp... 

She picked up the broom and slammed my back, sending a rush of pain all over me, and just then, so strangely, I felt the urge to shift and devour her. It wasn't to shift into a wolf, but to something else that seemed to be that sleeping beast in me.
