“A…freak”, I told him again.
My father cracked his knuckles.
“He may be alpha’s son, but this is unacceptable”, He stood up from his chair in rage.
“I’ll have a talk with Alpha about this whole shit”, he announced.
“Please honey, calm down, kids say all kinds of stuff at this age, we have to be sensible about this situation”, my mother calmed down my father after several pleas of not taking action and he finally left the house for his work.
My mom drove me to my school. I cried the whole way to school. My mom left with a hug to console me. Everything felt different now, nothing seemed to feel right. Happiness seized to exist for me. Was every day going to be like this? If so then I didn’t want to live.
Anything I saw in the school I hated it, I hated the weather, I hated my school building, I hated my classes, everything was fucked up for me.
As I entered my classroom I felt unusual stares directed toward me. That’s strange, before that nobody had paid me any special attention, I was just an ordinary student except when I started dating Sam.
I was already sad and depressed, these stares didn’t help my mood. So I simply looked for a chair in the very back of my class and made my way there.
When I was making my way towards the back of the class I heard students hissing something at me, they couldn’t say it out loud of course because our teacher was very strict and he didn’t like commotion in the class. I couldn’t quite catch what they were trying to say to me and finally arrived on my chair and sat down with a heavy heart.
The teacher went on and on and it seemed like the class would never end, thank God I didn’t share this class with Sam, otherwise, it would have been so awkward and painful for me. Tears started coming again. I could cry a river but I had to control myself.
The class finally ended and I went to the cafeteria to take my mind off of my hurt and there I saw the most painful sight ever for me, it was Sam with Regina, she was Beta’s daughter and was always after Sam. They both were holding close to each other, of course, Sam would go for her, she was simply perfect, blond, blue-eyed, with the perfect figure and heavy breasts, that were a bit too much exposed right now. This bitch I wanted to cut off her both hands holding my love. They both saw me walk into the cafeteria and right on cue Regina went in for a kiss and Sam complied and kissed her with the same passion he used to kiss me.
I stood frozen watching this horrible sight. My Sam, my wolf was kissing another girl, a girl I hated most in the world. I wanted to yell at them and throw something at them to make them stop. But they just seemed glued to each other.
This was beyond painful for me. I stood there, helpless. And I heard a chant going on behind me.
“Freak”
“Freak”
“Freak”
Some of the students had gathered and were chanting pointing at me, the whole school was watching. They had formed a circle around me. Now I understood what they were muttering under their breath in the class. They were calling me a freak, but how come? I was no freak. I was normal like them all.
Then they started throwing all kinds of food items at me, and my face and clothes got covered with stains from food items, I finally broke out of their circle and ran out of there. I ran into the washroom and locked after me. I started crying again. Why? Why me? I had no answer to that.
I looked at my so-called friends for help but they simply ignored me and some even joined in the circus. Even Lucia with whom I share almost everything, stood in the corner watching. She had tears in her eyes. She was helpless against this gang of bullies.
Now, this had become a common practice for everyone in school, as soon as I would enter the premises the whole place would go up against me, bullying me in every way possible. I didn’t tell my parents about it, I simply refused to go to the cafeteria anymore and avoided public places where I knew I could be targeted. Life had become really hard for me ever since the breakup.
Sam and Regina had come really close. I could catch glimpses of them making out every now and then. I finally realized that I had no friends in my school. I only had me which was broken and depressed. Tears were now my constant buddies. They came every time I asked them to show up.
Today was the pack run and there was not a lot to do at the school. Everyone was pretty relaxed and excited about the run. Teachers were teaching halfheartedly and students had no interest in listening to the lecture at all.The ground staff could be seen outside my class windows preparing the grounds for the weekly pack run. While I was dreading this. I had always dreaded going to pack runs since I had not found my wolf yet, as my parents always told me that I am a late bloomer, but I will find it when I get of age. I couldn’t roam free in the woods in my wolf body hence I couldn’t enjoy it. And then there was always this new threat of school bullies looming over my head so I decided to lay low in the woods as always and plus didn’t want to give the bullies a chance who would be out there looking for me.My parents had found a perfect hiding spot for me deep in the woods near our pack borders. It was a beautiful lake covered from the top with trees. Nobody dared go near the borders s
Eve POV“Let’s drown her”, someone from the group shouted and they all roared together in unison.I was already short of breath and water was in my eyes, I couldn’t see anyone, everyone and everything was a blur for me. But one thing I was sure of…that I was gonna die today. This was it for me.Then several hands gripped my body again, I could feel their hands on me, they had me pinned. And then a hand grabbed my hair roughly from behind and forced my head down in the water.I let out a gasp and the cold water went into my mouth and my nostrils, made its way into my body, rendering me unable to breathe. Little bubbles formed inside the water as I tried to breathe. I did try to use my hands and feet to break free, to kick them off of me but they were so many and their grip was strong and I was sure of my death now. I was giving up, my body was giving up…. I was going to drown and it'd be over any minute now.There were several wolfs who had started howling nearby but the group ignored
I opened my eyes it was still dark and I could hear my parents around me arguing.“It’s your fault for choosing this spot,” My father said to my mother“I didn’t know this was going to happen to her”, my mother said.My mom was holding me in her arms, we were still near the lake. The rain and all the thunder were gone. It was once again that peaceful place that I loved. Who could have thought I almost died here a few hours ago.“Oh thank god you are alive Eve”, my mother said as soon as I opened my eyes.“Who did this Eve?” my father asked me. I couldn’t say anything, it took me a while to form my first words. I was still trying to breathe normally.“It was Sam….. and Regina.” I could barely manage to say those words and I went into unconsciousness again.I woke up again, I was feeling warm now. I found out I was back in my house and was wearing fresh clothes, I was cleaned up and in my bed, pretty warm and cozy. My bedroom was really simple, nothing fancy, I had a single bed and in o
We drove for what felt like hours and hours with no end in sight. Many times I woke up and then dozed off again but dad kept on driving the car on unknown roads in the woods, at least they were unknown to me. He seemed to have no difficulty navigating through them.The whole way my mom kept glancing backward as though she was expecting the chase or she was afraid that someone was following us. I saw fear in her eyes.It was unusually quiet in the car and I hated it. My parents were always chatting even in the worst of times but now just silence.“Mom…I…” I tried to say something but my mother shoot me a serious look which meant only one thing…..to be quiet. So I simply decided to sleep again as my wounds from earlier had started to ache once more.I felt a jerk and woke up. As I looked outside the Sun was shining. Finally, we arrived at the far side of the woods. It felt nice to see light after the endless dark of the night.I could see two people in the distance approaching our car.
“Mom, what new pack?” I asked her.“Eve dear, I think it is time you know the truth, we owe you this much”, mom said with sadness in her voice.“What truth?” I wanted to know everything. Mom heaved a sigh.“By now you might know that you are wolfless, your wolf has not shown up and you are almost of age”, I knew that now so the news didn’t hurt me as it should have.“In order to protect you and your life from our previous pack we decided to join a new pack”, mom explained further.“Our ex Alpha would have forced us to abandon you and then your life would be over, cause no wolf can survive without a pack,” mom said with tears in her eyes. I wiped her face.“We could never abandon you even if our lives are put at stake, so we ditched them, I know it is treason to abandon your pack, but the choice was you or the pack and we choose you”, She said and hugged me tightly. I started crying again.“There, there, everything is alright now Eve my sweetheart, in this new pack no one will threaten
We drove through the woods following the car of the new pack guys. And finally, we reached our destination. There was a big clearing in the middle of the woods. Right in the middle stood a very tall mansion. All in black. It sort of terrorizes you if you saw it at night. I was clearly afraid of stepping into it.Our cars parked a little distance away from the tall black building. The Gennady and Jose got out of their cars and motioned us to do the same and keep following us. I didn’t like it one bit. Everything around here seemed weird. My heart was pounding loudly as I got down from my car and followed my mom closely. I had tightly wrapped a shawl around me my mom gave me before getting out.The grass was even and neatly cut. As we got closer to the mansion I noticed trees around it which formed a sort of border, and in those trees were birds of all kinds chirping away enjoying the sunlight and going about their business. I quite liked that sight, so I relaxed a bit.We were not take
I could hear only crickets in the distance otherwise nothing. This was not right, now they were going to tear us apart. After a few minutes, my eyes adjusted to the dark and I could make out a hundred wolf eyes staring at us. I thought I shit my pants. Mom held my hands a bit more tightly I thought she was going to crush my fingers.The wooden door opened with a creak you hear in horror movies, and I could see golden light coming out. Three hooded figures with torches ablaze circled another massive figure. I had never seen such a ritual in my life. I was part of the pack too but never had I witnessed this.The new group of hooded figures moved closer and when it was a few feet away from us they stopped in their tracks. They broke the circle and from the middle, the fourth hooded person took off his hood. And what I saw made me instantly fall in love with him. You know like love at first sight, that is what happened to me.His wide-set eyes were piercing blue and jet black hair was nea
I was in the middle of a field. All around me was grain ready to harvest it was about waist high and I could touch it and feel each and every little golden wheat stem just swaying so freely with the air. A spring afternoon, almost time for sunset. I could see the sun trying its best to hide behind the trees in the distance but still had enough light to illuminate the whole vast field in front of my eyes.I could hear the birds chirping away returning to their nests, where their little children were waiting for them. They probably had little chats amongst them in those sweet melodious voices of theirs with their younglings. And I wondered what would they talk about maybe they’d tell them how difficult it was to get that worm from the field because a snake was just hiding in the bushes to get them, or maybe they won’t have any talks and would tell them to go to bed immediately and no talking back.“Ha Ha Ha,” A laugh issued from my mouth.“How silly I am, birds can’t talk,”The sun was
