I'm in the woods picking Lady Slippers (they are an endangered flower in north america/Canada) with my Mommy she asked me what I would like for supper since its my seventh birthday today.
I grinned ear to ear and said more like I screamed " strawberry milkshake and fries!"
my Mommy smiled at me and said "I guess I don't have to make supper tonight."
"why not Mommy?"
"Because I've decided you have been a good girl and helped me pick flowers for the shop that deserves McDonald's so you your Daddy Roman and I will all go to McDonald's for supper and you can have your milkshake and fries!"
"Thank you Mommy!" I jumped on mommy and hugged her.
Mommy kissed my nose and we gathered our flowers into our baskets and were about to start our walk through the woods home when my mom stopped and pulled me behind her.
I then hear the crunching of leaves and branches then the growling and the smell of abandoned hygiene.
My Mommy shifts into her wolf Mommy Melania and begins growling as well. Mommy Melania motions me with her big wolfy head to crouch on the ground.
I get onto my knees and forearms and crouched down like i was motioned. Mommy Melania walked backwards until she was hovering directly above me while continuously growling at the rogues that were surrounding us.
In just the blink of an eye three of the rogues jumped and attacked Mommy Melania trying to get to me but Mommy Melania fought them all until they were dead. More and more wolves just kept on coming.
I felt a pushing inside my head it was pushing so hard it hurt until Mommy Melania looked at me with pleading eyes. Then I heard voices, so many voices but one was louder than the rest it was Mommy Melania. She began fighting the rogues again but was still talking to me through my mind. She pointed her head in the direction of home motioning me in that direction and as she was doing so told me to run to Daddy and get help.
I ran and ran and ran all the way to the yard daddy and Roman were playing football. I screamed. "HELP!!!"
They ran to me so fast I told Daddy "Mommy Melania needs help" and Daddy ran into the wood really fast trying to get to Mommy.
Roman stayed with me holding me as I cried and whimpered "mommy" over and over again.

I wanna be a better me, a better man
A better lover, better brother, better friend
Put myself back together again
'Cause I still got a couple loose ends...
My phone alarm sang better man by: Virginia to Vegas telling me to get ready for school.
I got out of bed and walked into my personal bathroom and was about to get into the shower when i rubbed my eyes and felt that they were wet so I backed up and looked in the mirror.
UGH! Really, again!
I stepped into my shower and began to clean myself. Cause you know hygiene
I woke up crying again like I do almost every morning. I know why I'm crying though because I always remember this dream because it's my last memory with my Mom and Mom Melania because she went missing after she told me to run.
Everyone in the pack, even my Dad thinks the rogues took Mom and tortured her until death. Dad believed she died because he could feel Mom's pain and torture through the mate bond and when you can no longer feel the bond your mate is immediately thought to be dead and Dad's bond broke.
I got out of the shower and began the rest of my morning routine.
I brushed my teeth washed my face and brushed and blow dried my hair. Then I started my make up which really isn't much. All I did was put black pencil liner on my tear line, mascara, and some lip gloss that moistens my lips so they aren't dry.
Now to get dressed. I pulled my favorite black tank top that says "BITCHES SLAP BACK" in bold white lettering over my head then pulled on a pair of black sweats and my zip up black sweater which I left unzipped. I also clipped on my favorite choker which has a purple moon charm on it. my mom gave me the charm on the day she disappeared as my birthday present It's very important to me. I added my piercings to the mix which consisted of my nose ring, eyebrow ring, and I have three holes in each ear so I just put in two silver studs in the first hole of each earlobe. than rings and finally another ring that has a little chain that connects to the other rings. emo i know and people love to remind me.
I walked down the stairs and was met by my step sister Kyla who is more like my real sister than anything because she helped me in the ways my brother Roman couldn't.
no more than a year after my mom's disappearance my dad the beta of Fangblood pack. found his second chance mate which was what brought everyone to believe my mom was actually dead. my dad's finding of Bella who was human was a positive thing for our broken family. my step mom was one of the kindest people in the world but sadly 5 years after being marked and mated by my dad she got pregnant and there were some complications later in her pregnancy. the baby was growing unusually fast and wanted to be born much sooner than planned and Bella's body wasn't built to deliver a baby that grew at such a fast pace she as only human after all and that baby killed her. Kyla has been completely adopted by us ever since.
"Why are you so deep in thought?" Kyla asked then hugged me even though she knows I'm not much of a hugger.
Are you ready to go? and I call driving! she squealed before I could say anything.
Ya sure, in a minute. I'm just gonna grab a yogurt and what's left of the strawberries. you go start my car. I said and tossed her my keys.
On my way out i grabbed my bag and my wallet then got into the passenger side of the car
Right after i got in the car i turned on the radio and my favorite Eminem song was playing and it was just starting.
I started rapping along with Eminem.
May I have your attention, please?
May I have your attention, please?
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
I repeat, will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
We're gonna have a problem here Y'all act like you never seen a white person before
*******************
I finished the song.
Damn why I love that song so much you will never know.
Around three minutes after the song ended Kyla was pulling into the school parking so I pulled my hood over my head. Once Kyla was parked I got out of the car and started walking towards the front doors with Kyla when alpha Kyle and his douche bag friends yelled at us to come over so we had no choice but to listen since the alpha had called Kyla and I as well.
We walked over to the alpha and his douche bag friends. Kyla and I showed our necks in submission to our alpha all the alpha did was scoff and look towards his friends then say. "Eww gross why did you call that scrawny emo bitch over here?" then they all start to laugh.
I already feel insecure as it is. why do they have to make me feel even worse. all I want to do right now is crawl into a hole and cry until my eyes dry up.
Kyla must have noticed that I was about to cry because she quickly dismissed herself and dragged me into the school with her.
Once we were inside the school Kyla pulled me into a hug and told me not to cry and that's what I did. I sucked it up and dabbed the corners of my eyes before the small tears could ruin my makeup.
After Kyla made sure I was ok we split up and went to our lockers to get what we needed for our separate classes.
I was getting my books and my pencil case from my locker when someone shoved me into the other lockers causing me to drop my books and pencil case and laughed at me which sounded like two cats going at it.( If you know what I mean.) Should've known that, that someone wasn't a someone it was a some slut. it was Briella, the high school's very own pack slut and no slut does not stand for "SWEET LITTLE UNFORGETTABLE THING" and she is also alpha Kyle's girlfriend/booty call.
I got on my knees and began gathering my books when Briella kicked me and told me to get up. I got up because I don't want to anger alpha Kyle cause if he found out I disobeyed her it wouldn't end well for me.
Once I was standing she slapped me and screamed " How dare you talk to my mate Kyle!" Then pushed me back to the floor I sat on the floor leaning on my hands for support waiting for her to leave which she eventually does leave.
I began picking up my books and pencil case again and stuff them into my bag then sprint to class because I am now late. When I got to my history class teacher Mr. Oddie had already closed the door stopping any late students to knock and have to wait until he opened the door. I knock and wait for Mr. Oddie to open the door which he eventually does with a scowl on his face.
. * . * . * . * .Skip to lunch. * . * . * . * .
I took out my wallet and paid for my lunch then went to sit at my usual table in the cafeteria with Kyla. I sat down and began talking to Kyla about my terrible morning when I felt something wet being poured on to me. I turn around to see Briella with an empty carton of milk and her crew of cake faces laughing.
I silently growl in my mind then turn to Kyla and tell her I'm going home for the rest of the day and that i will come pick her up at the end of school. She said "alright" and with that I picked up my bag headed to my car and drove home.
When I drove into the driveway I noticed my dad's truck. Turns out my dad was home early from work. Which meant he was going to ask why I was not at school.
when I walked through the front door I saw my dad rushing around the house throwing stuff into a suitcase that he had placed on the living room couch. I was curious so I said "hey dad whatcha doing?" He turned to look at me then said "what are you doing home from school?" Just like I thought he would. I got nervous trying to come up with a lie or excuse and all I could say was " well, I ummm... I tripped and spilled milk on myself and i didn't want to smell like sour milk all day so I drove home." He looked me up and down then said "oh."and "how is Kyla getting home?" I told him I was going to go pick her up at 3:20pm.
"So whatcha doing dad?"
"packing."
"Why? What for?"
"A pack business trip."
"Oh. How long will you be gone?"
"Around a week"
After my dad said he was going to be gone for a week he stood up and picked up his suitcase kissed the top of my head and said. " I have to leave now. I left my second credit card on the kitchen counter for grocery shopping and anything else you and Kyla might need. Tell Kyla I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye to her, and if Roman calls from university just tell him to call my work phone if he needs to talk to me. Okay bye my rose. I love you sweetie.
After my dad had left I went upstairs to my room to have a shower and change into some fresh clothes that didn't smell like sour milk.
*****************************
It was around 3:00pm when I got a call from Rosie the previous Luna my non-blood related aunt mom's best friend and Kyle's mother called me and asked if I could pick up her daughter Minna from elementary school and babysit her until around 7:00pm when Rosie got off work. She works on the side just to have something to keep herself busy since she can no longer do the Luna duties but that's just what she says to people but I know what's really happening. The current alpha and Rosie's mate has major anger issues and has tendencies to get rough and abusive at times. I only know this because I've seen it happen once when I was playing with Rosie a year ago. The alpha beat her so bad she had to wear a turtleneck with long sleeves to hide the bruises which isn't normal for a wolf cause of our super fast healing abilities so her mate must have really hurt her.
I grabbed my keys and my old booster/car seat from when I was little and put it in the back seat. Then I got into the driver's seat and drove to the elementary school which is about four streets away from my house I parked and walked to the front of the school to wait for Minna.
The school bell rang and tiny children poured from the school. i continued to wait for Minna until i felt two little arms latch to my leg. " I I !"(eye eye) the little person latched to my leg yelled in excitement. I looked down to see little Minna's big round emerald green eyes looking up at me along with a huge grin which was missing teeth.
I bent down to her level and said " hi Minnie Mouse! you're gonna hangout with me for a bit. how does that sound? "Can we go get ice cream?" Minna asked giving me her puppy dog face. "Okay, we'll go get ice cream after we go get Kyla." She looked at me confused at first but then screamed "Yesssss! la la!"
Minna and i walk hand in hand to my car. i put on her seat belt. got in the front seat and texted kyla
~~~~~TEXT CONVERSATION~~~~~
Iris: hey, I'm on my way to get you.
Kyla: Kk, class is almost over.
Iris: Just a heads up. I have Minna with me. Rosie asked me to watch her for a bit because you know what and you know who.
Kyla: WTH! Really! Our alpha really isn't what he looks to be! You should never judge a book by its cover.
Iris: Ya, I know. Minna and I will be waiting for you at the front doors.
Kyla: K, see ya.
~~~~~end of text conversation~~~~~
Then I drove over to the high school to pick up Kyla.
once I arrived at the high school I parked on the side of the street in front of the school. I got out of the car. unbuckled Minna then picked her up because she wanted me to carry her so I did.
I was walking towards the school to meet Kyla when I noticed I had to walk by Kyle and his friends. I stopped walking and told Minna we were going to play the quiet game and that the winner gets to have chocolate and sprinkles on their ice cream. Minna nodded.
I started walking towards the school again trying to not get noticed by Kyle but it looks like I ran out of luck (If I had any to begin with) because Kyle locked eyes with me. I immediately looked away. I looked back to see if he was coming to torture me but he just looked at his little sister that I was holding in my arms then let out a menacing growl that shook the ground.
Kyle rushed over to me and began yelling and insulting me.
"What do you think you're doing with my sister you emo freak!?" Kyle yelled into my face out of pure anger.
Luna Rosie asked me to take care of her for a while. I said barely above a whisper.
I never want to see you touch her again! Kyle said still yelling as well as reaching out trying to take Minna from me. Minna clung to me trying to stay as far away from Kyle as possible.
when Kyle noticed I wasn't prying Minna of myself to give her to him he growled again. I noticed Kyla walking out of the school doors so I told Minna to go to Kyla. I put her down and that's exactly where she ran.
I began to look towards Kyle again when a fist connected with the side of my head. I fell to the ground and looked up to see Kyle with a smirk on his face and his friends laughing. I began to pick myself off the ground when he kicked me in the stomach making me fall back to the ground this time I didn't try to get up. I just looked up to Kyle with tears in my eyes and said Kyle you are by far the worst person I have ever had the misfortune of having to have grown up with. that's right. Kyle and I grew up together. our mothers were best friends.
Kyle looked down at me with a fake look of pain on his face which quickly turned into a sneer. Then he said at least I didn't kill my own mother.
After Kyle said that I could barely see anything through my tears.
I never want to see you with my sister again after this! Kyle yelled as he and his friends were getting into his car.
I just stayed on the ground crying until Kyle left and Kyla came to help me get up. when Kyla came she was carrying a crying Minna. Kyle must have really scared her. how could he say and do things like that around her. Father like son I guess. when I remembered Minna was here I quickly wiped my tears but stayed on the ground because I was in a lot of pain and that punch. Minna wanted to be put down so Kyla put her down. as soon as she was put on the ground Minna fell to her knees crying I'm sorry over and over again.
Oh, Minnie Mouse. it's not your fault and I'm gonna be ok. Just wait a few minutes for my pain to go away. I'll be fully healed in a few hours.
once my pain had vanished I picked up Minna and walked over to the car with Kyla walking beside me. I buckled Minna in again and i kept to my promise. We went to get ice cream. Hopefully ice cream will cheer us all up.
