Life was going damn well great for me again. Yeah, you heard that right
/"AGAIN'
Yes, I may have been locked up, mistreated, and banished from a place I once called home because of something that never happened, but it did.
I was the only one who was banished but my parents who knew the truth, resigned from the Pack and we had to move to my dad's good old friend’s Pack. The Alcaders, led by Alpha Lincoln Cruz back then is now led by Josh Hamilton and he’s the Alpha's nephew.
He was made Alpha simply because the Alpha's daughter Aberdeen, now my best friend obliges to her parents. She didn't want the title instead; she became one of the Pack warriors. Desirably, her mate didn't want to take over the Pack as an Alpha. He loves his position as being the Beta.
Well, I guess being a Beta is hot, I mean you should have seen him whenever we have our training. He is a friend's mate, and to be honest, I have no feelings for him and just glad that he turned up to be friend's mate
It's funny when we moved here, I was not allowed to go anywhere except to stay indoors. I was home schooled, never allowed to meet anybody else except Aberdeen and Josh.
So after a year of seeing I be a good girl, not causing any more trouble, my parents finally decided to let me join the Pack training and everything else associated with the Pack.
Six months later, I saw the proud look on my parents' faces when I graduated as one of the top warriors in the Pack. It was like I had given them both the world. Reminiscing on the memories of their reaction and how they went all out to express their happiness for what I have achieved so far.
But that was back then, the last time I ever saw my parents smiling back at me. Now they are smiling at me from heaven above and I intend to keep it that way. The smile fades when someone swings at me, I deflect his punches and kick him right where the sun doesn’t shine.
/"Next time don't do that/" I warn him earning whistles from the standbys’.
I continue to walk again passing by Aberdeen who was training the young pups and the teenagers. She waves at me, and all kids look with disdain before they turn away from me without smiling.
If anyone wants to know why kids never smile or like me, it's because I despise them, it is as simple as that.
All their whining, their wailing, and their pouty behaviour which everyone thinks is cute I find annoying.
Believe it, their tricks work only on Aberdeen but not me, ‘the devil in Prada,’ Eliz always repeat that in my head whenever I came across the young pups.
So yes, I'm like an old hag to them, who only gives a cold glare and a warning look that screams don't you mess with me, pup. I know I may have sound crazy and scary but that’s just me, I’m not a people person and I rather love being alone most of the time.
/"Elle, I need you and Aberdeen here in my office,/" Josh mind links us.
In the next 40 seconds, I was at his door-knocking /"come in/" I open the door and went inside
/"Sit/" he ordered
/"I'm not a dog/" I complain in a whisper
/"Did you want to say something Elle?/" I shook my head No!
After a minute, our Beta Leto came in with Aberdeen trailing behind him. Her face all red, those two are, of course, mates as I mentioned before, and they both look good together. 'The moon goddess knows how to match up people' I thought and Eliz chuckles responding, ‘of course she does, don’t you forget that she's our existence.'
Bluffing through our links ', yeah and she happens to curse with not having a mate' Eliz never spoke again.
That's another thing, almost all of our Pack members are mated, and you hardly find anyone without a Mate.
Except for me, if we are all in a gathering or meeting or even a battle, people can easily point me out as the unmated She-Wolf since no one stood with a possessive grip around my waist.
Yet the feeling is mutual as there are some of us, specifically me, who came late in the race, and only to experience or feel pain when our mate died.
Me the latecomer and did the writer say I need a mate? Nah I don't think so.
