Every wolf gets to meet their wolf at the age of 15, then they find their mate at the age of 18.
Opening my eyes to realize I'm still on the floor where the beta last left me, after a beating. Turning on my side, I push my body up off the floor my wounds from the night before already healed thankfully due to my wolf, Happy birthday to me. When I was 7 years old, during a mid-summer day it was my birthday and I wanted to go for a walk.
(Flash back)
"Momma! Papa!" Now seven year old me yelled as I ran back into the house from playing with the other pups of the pack. My brown haired pigtails bounced as I ran down the hall to the kitchen where my mom was finishing making a cake, my father stood beside her as they stopped talking and turned to me.
"Hi pumpkin" father beamed as I ran to him, he picked me up in his arms and turned to my mother. "Happy birthday love" mother said cheeky as she turned from the cake and planted a kiss on my cheek blowing bubbles before turning back to the cake.
"Cake! Cake" I say bounced in my fathers arms he chuckled and kissed my cheek as well "what does the birthday girl want?" He asked looking at me, I swung my legs back and forth "can we go for walk?" I begged
My father looked at my mom as if they were talking about it silently, before turning to me "in a bit pumpkin, stay away from the woods okay?" father said setting me down on the floor.
"Okay" I cheered excited as I ran back down the hall, pushing the door open and running into the yard to play, going back to my sand castle. There was a rustle in the bushes that lined around the outing of the woods. Dropping my plastic shovel on the ground I walked to the bushes with curiosity.
Looking through the leaves and branches I see a white bunny, chewing on some grass. "Bunny" I called with a smile, its head popped up and darted the other way through the woods, before I could say anything I hear a deep growl to my left. A large wolf had its sights set on me, it didn't look friendly.
A scream left my mouth as I started to run back to the house, the wolf started to snap at me before chasing me. My screams grew louder as it got closer, my father came running out of the house shifting in mid air, making his way to me. He growled as he turned to the wolf attacking him "papa!" I cried frozen in fear, arms wrapped around me I look up to see my mother pick me up and run "come on sweetie" she said running to the house.
She places me in their room before kissing me on my head, a smile on her face "I love you sweetie, let's play the game that daddy taught you-- okay, now be a good girl and hide, don't come out till me or daddy come to get you okay?" Mother said giving me a hug before guiding me under the bed "I love you mommy" I said crawling under the bed not knowing that was the last time I saw my parents.
(End of flashback)
Ever since my parents died my pack turned on me, saying it was my fault. I was seven! I didn't know better.
Making my way quietly down from the attic to the kitchen before the pack was awake to make breakfast, when my parents died I quickly turned from a pack member to a maid, my parents were well loved and known in the pack, my father was the beta and my mom was the female beta. With the grieving they turned to the source of the pain: me.
I make Pancakes, eggs and Bacon enough to feed a village, before putting the plates, silverware and cups on all of the tables in the dining room, setting the tables and setting the drinks in the middle of the tables before going back to the kitchen cleaning the dishes and counters before moving to sweeping.
Quickly cleaning the sitting rooms, so that once the pack was done with their breakfast, rounds and training.
As I put the clean supplies away, the pack started to come downstairs or into the pack house making their way to the dining room. Trying to move out of the way I was pushed to the floor slamming my head into the wall "move trash" Lora; the pack slut who wanted to be the new Luna of the Alphas son, Brandon.
"Sorry" I hurried to leave so that I wouldn't get beaten again when the pack decided to punish me for anything they thought that deserved it, I would be beaten but not enough to cause scarring due to 'not ruining a product'. At the age of 15 I overheard the alpha and beta talking about selling me once I turned 18. Walking into a the kitchen, my wolf howled and scratched at my mind wanting out howling. Hanna my wolf howled over and over 'Mate'. Fear and happiness dawned on me, not knowing who it would be.
Brandon stood by the sink in the kitchen, with a glass of water in his hand he looked at me with like I was moldy food with bugs in it; a disgusted look on his face He looked at me with With a look of hatefulness on his face. My wolf howled in pain from the response of our mate.
He marched over to me, grabbing me by my arm and pulled me into the pantry that was attached to the kitchen. Closing the door behind me he pushed me into the wall with force, grabbing me by my hair he pulled my head back, I groan.
"This never happened this is a sick joke, we are not mates" he fumed into my face.
"But-" I stated and he slapped me.
Grabbing me by my face he leaned in glaring at me "I Brandon West reject you Ashlee Morgan" he spat at me. My eyes closed in shame and sadness, jerking my head back again to get a response out of me. "I Ashlee Morgan accept your rejection Brandon West" I accept defeat knowing my one mate could never love me.
Pushing me to the ground he left the pantry and into the dining room to Lola who was his girlfriend. Tears formed in my eyes, Hanna cried in pain and pushed me away, locking herself away leaving me by myself with my thoughts. Pushing myself off the ground and back into the dining room picking up the dirty dishes. Mutters filled the room as I quickly cleaned up and went back to the kitchen fighting my to not start crying and just clean.
Once I was done, I ran up to my room hid in the corner bringing my knees up to my chest I silently cry hoping for the world to crack open and drag me under with it. Pain filled my body it hurt more than the beatings and I knew my mate that rejected me just had sex with another, but not only that he marked her. The worse thing any shifter always avoids is rejection, the fact that once your mate rejects you every time they have sex with someone you will feel it until you find another mate is when it will go away.
"Come down here bitch!" alpha Dalton; Brandons father boomed through the door, my wolf made a appearance again whimpering wanting to dig farther into the wall. All of the sudden it was quiet then my alpha bursted into the room looking pissed off, his eyes searched around my room for me, then they stopped at the corner I was currently hiding in.
"There you are slut" he growled and stalked into my corner, I yelped as he grabbed me by my forearm and dragged me out of the attic. I dug my heels into the floor to stop myself but it failed as he was stronger than me he looked back at me with a smug look on his face before tossing me down the stairs. A scream rose from my throat as my body rolled down the stairs as a fast paste, Laying at the bottom I groaned and rolled to my side.
The sound of footsteps came down the stairs before stopping in front of me, he leaned down grabbing me again by my hair before continuing to walk outside before dropping me again on the ground with a thud.
"Where is the girl?" A voice said from outside
"She's right here" the Alpha said smugly
The man that stood in front of the Alpha looked at me while walking a circle around me before nodding. "She's a beauty" he commented looking at the alpha again, a crowd formed around us, some of the pack members watching with amusement as they would do every time I was beaten.
Another Male walked to me and put my hands behind my back with hand cuffs rather harshly.
"She will sell nicely, here's your money" the man said again before nodding to the man who was behind me, he grabbed me and pulled me to the black van, I thrashed as he threw me over his shoulder "no! Please!" I scream with tears in my eyes.
The man approached me with a needle in his hand that he stuck in my thigh before everything went black.
