Bianca POV

It's hard trying to figure out where you stand it's hard having people looking down on you, it's hard constantly being called an outcast, freak, reject, mistake, creep the list goes on.

Thinking being seventeen will ever change anything but sadly the fact remains in everyone's eyes I'm just a nobody an Omega. Growing up hearing the stories about how I mischievous whine up on the east border no one knows how I got there or who left me there.

How could someone be so cold-hearted leaving a four-year-old with only a pink blanket and from that day on they took me in.

I'm used to be the happiest chirpiest little girl but everything altered when I reached the age of thirteen that's when every pup triggers their inter-wolf and turned having the ability to communicate with their wolf until on their eighteen birthday they'll re-shift to complete the rituals.

But for me, I never got the chance to trigger mine because there's no wolf no voice no nothing.

That's when I thought things couldn't get any worst, I was wrong news spread faster than wildfire everyone found out I didn't have a wolf, my friends stopped speaking to me instead they taunt ridiculed mocked, etc. what am I saying the whole pack turns their backs on me.

I was an outcast and known as the absent wolf the lone Omega, I honestly thought that maybe I'm just a late bloomer but when years upon year's that's when the realization hit me, I'm the absent wolf.

The pack treats me like a slave, like shit, a mutt, they even hit me none stop, throw insults like I'm nobody and sadly I'm the slave to my pack.

At times I felt like I'm destined for greatness I can feel it every day the feelings grew stronger than ever, I can never understand this emotion then again maybe I'm losing my mind thinking they'll finally accept me for who I am.

Beep! Beep bee- sighing heavy turning the snooze off my phone I've been up laying on the grass staring at the moon it's like I'm connected I'm somehow at peace it comforts my soul and mind.

It's five o'clock and if I want to go to school without bruises and walking limp, I better get back pushing myself off the ground pulling my hood up making my way back.

At nights I'm always drawn to the darkness sneaking out when everyone's asleep and ran to my secret hideaway in the forest the only friend I have is the moon I love the way the cool breeze felt heavenly on my skin in some sense the warm air soothes me.

Climbing the tree that just happens to be at my room window making my way to my bathroom doing my morning routine getting dressed in a dark blue skinny ripped jeans and a burgundy top sliding on a pair of white vans.

Doing my makeup to cover the bruises I've received yesterday for spilling water on Jeremiah the future Alpha and my nightmare just the sound of his voice sends me fidgeting and cowed he drives fear throughout every fibre of my being in one word he's one of many who likes seeing me scared.

Today's his eighteenth birthday meaning I have to be home early to help with preparations for that little bastard.

Walking downstairs trying my best not to wake up anyone let's just say I've learned the hard way walking into the luxurious marble tile kitchen and get down to business trying to prepare breakfast for fifty teenagers and trust me when I say it's not easy cooking for raging hormonal teenage wolves especially with a huge appetite.

I know what you're thinking so many teenagers yep our pack is the largest in Knoxford it's hard but I'm used to it the adults and the alpha and Luna along with the other members live in another house.

Whenever Nathan finds his mate they'll move to the private house at the northern border, we live on the east border and the adults are on the south.

Making various food such as blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes, waffles, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, baked beans, oatmeal, sausage, omelet, croissants, fruits, etc. you know the everyday breakfast.

By the time I've completed everything, it was already after seven tired would be an understatement my hands and feet were killing me as soon as I set the table with all the bowls, plates, and utensils on all the tables in the lunchroom I ate and cleaned up the kitchen.

Heading back to my room don't want to run into anyone but sadly the God's weren't on my side today nor any other day.

I swallowed the rising lump in my throat when I came face to face with Aaron the soon-to-be beta and like Jeremiah, he's worst.

A smirk grew on his face "well, well, well if it isn't the lone Wolf" he jeers slowly walking towards me I backed away trying to run back down but wasn't fast enough.

He gripped my hair in a harsh tugged pulling me closer to him, "where do you think you're going? I'm just getting started" he chuckled in my ear I was intimidated my eyes widen in fear coursing through my vein.

I felt his grip loosen before I could even react, I was sent flying down the stairs "oops" he laughed sadistically as his laughter floating around. I cried out in agony when I fell on my right ankle pain shoot through my foot tears pricked at the corner of my eyes. I heard another chuckle and footsteps coming closer I tried to get up but only get a hash stepped to the back making my forehead hit the ground with an impact.

"Awe damnit Aaron you started the show without me" I hear Jason's voice he's the future Gamma and began shaking knowing I'm in for a massive pounding whenever these two decide to team up.

I was turned over they like to see how scared and pathetic I was they like hearing me begged for mercy, they feed off my pain like an energy booster. I looked at them with a blurry vision they stared back with so much amusement as they started hitting me all over my body screaming out throbbing with excruciating pain.

"Plea-please stop please" I sobbed I was shaking as the agony rake my body my throat was sore from all the crying and pleads, I was numbed distressed struggling to breathe.

Choking on my sobs and blood coming from my nose and mouth don't know how long they have been hitting but they finally stopped and I breathe a sigh of relief but it quickly went away when they both take turns kicking me in the head before walking away while they high five each other.

I wobbly walked up the stairs taking baby steps removing my blouse which was covered in blood and sweat looking at my reflection it didn't come as a shocker blackish yellow-purplish discoloration even with my clear brown complexion it was so damn obvious small medium and large-sized bruises adored all over my face and body.

The tears sting my face a huge black eye stood out like a sore thumb burst lip, washing my face carefully not to cause more pain slipping into a purple t-shirt and black hoodie to hide the bruises on my arm doing my makeup, and putting on the cream on the affected area.

Taking up my bag phone and house keys I climbed through the window and climb down the tree and make a run for it before anyone spots me when I was out of their view I started listening to music and walked to school it's only forty minutes walk I'm used to the pain so it doesn't affect me like it used to before.

Jeremiah POV

Walking up to the dreadful sounds of my alarm clock going off reaching over and turning it off stretching and yawning walking into my luxurious bathroom removing my clothes and draw the glass shower door stepping in letting the water heat just the way I like it doing my morning routine.

Today's the day in every wolves life when you turn eighteen finally meet your mate whether or not you find your soulmate you turn I'm so freaking excited putting on a black knee ripped jeans white sneakers and a white V-neck shirt styling my hair taking my car keys phone and bag heads downstairs.

Walking into the lunchroom a sweet fade essence assaults my nostrils "mate" my wolf Lucca howled with thrill to his tone.

"Mate, mate must find mate" he shouted with such enthusiasm jumping up and down wagging his tail I was eager those four-letter words I've been dying to hear since I had first knew the meaning of mate.

"I can't pick up the scent it's fading" I notified him he laps his tail letting out a quiet whimper giving off the helpless wolf look as he crawls in the back of my mind.

When they saw me approaching cheers and howling rippled through the room they started singing the birthday song, getting well wishes from everyone but that wasn't important to me my instincts were going into overdrive as I tried catching the whiff but it just disappears and I could feel Lucca getting agitated as he pace around my mind.

For over centuries on our special day which is our birthday werewolves have given one gift and one gift only a soul mate, the perfect other half or counterpart to their soul. We take this day very seriously especially when it comes to the alpha as it is hard to find your partner, some wolves take days months even year's trying to find their other missing piece of their soul searching near or far high and low going to near and far packs in hopes of locating them.

Right now I'm just praying that she's in my pack saving me the trouble of hunting for her, I hope I find her soon it won't be hard since I'm aware she's a member of my pack the soon-to-be Luna I like the sound of that.

Looking around for the beautiful set of bright hazel eyes but didn't I was hoping I would have seen her gorgeous face sighing with disappointment making my way and sit around the table "hey dude looking for Cami?" Aaron implored musingly.

"Is it that obvious" I let out with a huge stupid grin on my face "picked up a dull scent but it disappeared before I could get familiar with it" I confirmed still looking around anticipating eagerly wanting to meet my lovely mate.

I couldn't shake the warmth and twirl of emotions, is this what it's like to find your special half? The need and desire rain heavy on my heart the dominant Alpha side wanting to take over thirsty for her dying to catch a glimpse of her pure beauty and I'd be damn if I didn't want the same.

"Don't worry bro the girls left earlier and we all know you two are destined to be" he reassured me bumping my shoulder playfully.

"And no other girl fit to rule by your side and be Luna she's your mate you know it we know it everyone knows it" Jason chipped in.

"Excited for your party tonight?" Scott inquired nodding my head tonight I'll finally complete my transformation but I wasn't looking forward to all the pain that follows.

"Yeah can't wait" I replied after breakfast we headed to school all we talk about was the party tonight.

Pulling up to a space we all attend an all wolf school there's a lot of packs but we tend to stick by our own.

Walking to our lockers a smile spread across my face when I saw the gorgeous girl of my dreams walking towards me.

"There's our future Luna" Jason smirk elbow my arm "hey baby," she greets grinning wrapping her arms around me and connect her lips.

"Get this thing away from us" Lucca growled, "how is this possible I can't smell her" my voice faltered with confusion conveying with my wolf pulling away from her as if her touch burns.

"That's because she isn't our mate stupid" he retorted in monotone.

"What's wrong?" Cami asked she tried to touch my hand I looked at everyone as they have a similar bewildered expression.

"She's not the one" I acknowledged refusing to accept it this must be a misunderstanding the Moon Goddess must get our souls mixed up that must be the reason why I criticize.

"Wha-what how... that can't be" she stuttered her eyes scanning my face to see if I'm joking shock was evident on her beautiful face her bright grey eyes flashing with surprise dishearten sadness and hurt.

"How is that possible you've been together since freshman year?" Aaron added everyone still trying to figure out what kind of shit is going on.

"I don't know I just don't fucking understand I felt no sparks nothing" I barked gnashing my teeth how is that even possible ravaging all hopes and dreams of spending all our lives together we have plans, a future the two of us ruling the pack side by side hand in hand.

"Maybe it takes time" Sophie suggested each tossing their thoughts and opinions on what we should do.

"Yes yeah it takes time let's try again," Cami insists confidence eagerly we kissed but I didn't sense anything no passion I didn't even enjoy it like I used to not even excites me.

I pulled away she stared at me with soulful eyes, I've always thought that she would be the one, and the moment when I lay my eyes on her my wolf would go crazy by her intoxicating scent but that wasn't the case.

"Did you feel anything?" she whispered hopefulness in her eyes shaking my head turning my head from her teary eyes which made my heart sink.

"Why would moon goddess do this to us I don't want anyone all I want is you Camille" I hissed can't believe I've waited for this day and now all this waiting for nothing, I demanded answers.

"It's ok Jeremiah I don't want anyone I want you I don't care what she thinks I'm not going anywhere" she reassured me I pulled her in a tight hug as if I don't want to let her go.

"You better let go of that mutt before I lost my shit, go find my mate I can sense she's near" Lucca snarled aggrieved as he growled.

"I don't care I've already made up my mind Cami is the one I want no one else" I shouted back to Lucca I was already pissed off about the whole thing.

He started arguing and I pushed him to the back of my mind, taking up the required books I'd need we all had history together and headed to class.
