With a stone cold glare at the entire pack, I, Cassidy Knightlock, came back filled with power and demanded respect. Two years ago, the present pack all treated me like dirt and outcast, while now they hang on my every word for I spoke with a voice of a Luna and kicked their old Alpha to a large tree. Pathetic.
I never thought being a rogue would be something I enjoyed this much.
I would never forget my sixteenth birthday when I was rejected by my mate, Damen, who kissed my flirting sister to show his hatred for me. He was the coveted Alpha to be and I was just the Beta to be fat and ugly little sister. My brother, Jacob, apologized to him for me, it felt like being rejected all over again twice in one day. But in a weird way Im glad that day happened. Without it, I would never have become what I am today. I would have never found the man who taught me everything he knew. And I would have never fulfilled my destiny.
It is my sixteenth birthday.
I woke up like every other day. My room was dull tan walls, four post beds, dresser, closet and mirror. I was the youngest of three. I didnt have any real friends. Everyone in the pack thought I was pathetic because I didnt turn out to be a female shifter like my older sister Briella. I wouldnt want to be like her at all though I think every boy and man of the packs key has fit that lock, if you know what I mean.
In the werewolf world, it is rare to be a female shifter. This makes every single female shifter coveted by packs all over the world. In my pack, the Shadow Pack, we have three known female shifters. However, they dont know about a fourth me. I learned to keep my scent hidden from the rest of the pack I only smell like a non shifter.
As I woke up that morning I picked out my favorite green plaid shirt, that accented my eyes, blue skinny jeans and grey vans. I even left my hair down for once instead of pinning it up in my usual messy bun. My red brown hair hung down in its twisting natural curls. I had a streak of blond that ran down the left side of my hair, making it pop in the contrast with the red brown. I applied a little bit of mascara to my already obnoxiously long eyelashes, and gave myself a once over. I knew I wasnt the prettiest of the pack. I had a little bit of fat around my stomach, I had the occasional zit, but my eyes always managed to stand out, in the best way. They were a striking green. My mom told me it was the color of the dewy grass in the early morning. I gathered all my school supplies and made my way downstairs to the kitchen.
As I arrived my mom pretty much tackled me into the ground.
Oh my baby girl can finally find her mate! My mom had tears of joy in her eyes. One could easily see that I was her favorite of the three of us. In second is the oldest, my brother Jacob, followed by my older sister Briella. Mom never really liked her after she found out about all the men she has slept with.
Okay mom, dont want to kill the birthday girl do you? I laughed at her enthusiasm. My mom truly was my best friend. Okay, well let me know immediately if you meet him today! I cannot wait to meet my soon to be son in law!
Well off to school you three! She motioned for Jacob, Briella and I to all leave. Jacob drove us to school everyday. He was a senior, Briella was a junior and I was supposed to be a sophomore but I was in all AP classes so I was a junior also. Briella was not too happy when I was moved up a year.
As Jacob and I were walking up to the school entrance I saw him. My mate. Actually I smelled him first. He smelled like apples and freshly sanded wood. It was mouthwatering. I looked around the campus until I found him.
He had that sexy messy looking hair brown. A little button nose. Muscles that I knew one day I would get the chance to run my fingers all over. As my eyes met him, it was like my world stopped. His deep blue eyes held mine for what seems like hours. Then it finally hit me. I knew who my mate was.
Damen Michaelson. The alpha to be.
I whispered Mate, Jacob shot me a look that said what did you just say?
Just at that moment my a sister walked up grabbed his face and roughly kissed him. She even went so far as to jump up and wrap her legs around his waist. His hands even caught her, grabbing her fat a.
The worst part was that he didnt even attempt to stop her. He kissed her back. Knowing full well that I was right there.
My heart was already shattered.
She wanted nothing more than to get over there and rip her diseased little hands off of our mate. Who knew what she caught while sleeping around! Knowing she was meant to be a Luna was really getting to my wolfs head fast I think. She was extremely possessive at this point, not that I could blame her. How could he let her even touch him after he finally found me?! Wait.....
His sixteenth birthday was a year ago.... He was a junior like Briella and I.... He would have known I was his mate. Why didnt he say anything? Tears came to my eyes. I knew why.
I wasnt a shifter like my sister. He didnt want me. He is going to reject me.
Jacob grabbed my arm and I instantly knew I was going to have a bruise, not that it would last long with my werewolf healing, but a bruise none the less. I had to close my eyes because by now my eyes would have turned completely black with the amount of control my wolf had. I had to rein her in and get my act under control. No one could figure out what I was. At least not yet.
What did you just say Cass? Jacob had a look that was between shock and humiliation with a little anger under the surface.
I said mate Jake! Damen is my mate! I knew it the minute I saw him! I turned to Damen and said, Tell him Damen! Im your mate.
I saw panic cross Damens face but he quickly masked it. His smile reappeared on his perfect face. Like you would be my mate! Thats rich! I need a strong alpha female for my pack, preferably a shifter. You Cassidy Knightlock are neither. You arent even pretty. If you were my mate, not that you are, No please Damen dont say it! I thought. I would reject you. he finished. He even went as far as to grab herand plant another lingering kiss on her lips. Both of us knew exactly what he was doing when he said those final words. No one else knew the severity of them no one knew that their pack just got weaker because the alpha to be just rejected his luna.
My heart shattered. It felt like someone had ripped out my heart and burned it. My wolf was calling out to his, pleading with him to make it right before it was too late.
Im sorry about my sister Damen. I dont know what has gotten into her. Jacob was apologizing to Damen for me? My head snapped up and my wolf was furious.
My own brother doesnt believe me?! I practically yelled.
Cassidy dont make a scene! Just get to class. You have done enough today. His eyes met mine and they were stone cold.
I thought that at least you of all people would believe me Jake. I felt my eyes tear up again, his figure visually softened, and his eyes were pleading with mine. He just wanted me to listen. He didnt actually care about me. I thought that my big brother, the one who was supposed to always be there for me, would actually believe me. But I guess its asking too much. You care about your reputation that bad? Fine Ill make it easier. Im gone. Goodbye Jake. And with that I turned my back to him and headed home. Little did Jake know that he was the last tie that was keeping me here, and now that he severed that tie
I was gone. I ran the whole way. Being a shifter does have its benefits running without getting tired is a plus, especially in this situation.
I heard Jake call my name. He was pleading for me not to leave. I guess my dramatic exit doesnt exactly help his reputation now does it? Who likes a guy who makes his own sister cry? I sure wouldnt thats for sure.
As I finally arrived back at the pack house I slowed my pace.
I walked up the porch steps and as I was about to turn the handle of the front door my mom beat me to it. How she knew I was coming home I didnt know and right now I didnt care. That was it, I broke down right there on the porch. My mom pulled me into her arms and I cried for what felt like hours. In reality it probably was hours too. She didnt even say anything or ask me what was wrong. She just held me and comforted me.
My wolf was even crying inside. She was broken and didnt know what to do. I felt some of her pain by I know she took most of the blow from the rejection, she was in more pain than I was. She was trying to soften the blow for me. I wish I could repay her somehow for that.
When I had finally calmed down my mom ushered me into the house.
Mom my voice cracked. I cleared my voice and took a deep breath before continuing, Mom, he rejected me. My mate rejected me. The worst part is he was Damen. The alpha to be! It feels like the whole pack rejected me. Even Jake didnt believe me! All he cares about is his reputation! I am fed up with all things that goes on here! Mom I dont know if I can stay any longer.
My mom gave me a small smile. Honey, if you needed to leave I wouldnt stop you. I understand your pain to some degree. She was talking about my good for nothing dads betrayals. I will even help you pack. But you have to promise me something if you are truly bent on leaving. She looked me in the eyes sternly and said, You have to promise me that you will find some way to keep in contact with me. Even if it is just to say you are still alive.
I ran to my mom. I relished in the comforting feeling I got while she hugged me. I promise mom. I promise to keep in contact. I would never leave you if I thought I could live through this anymore. But mom, you have to promise me something in return. I pulled away a little in the hug. Mom, you cannot tell anyone, even after I leave, that I am a shifter. Damen didnt want me like I am now, so he doesnt deserve me because I am one.
My mom gave me a proud smile. Your secret is always safe with me. Besides its not my secret to tell. Its yours to tell when you know the time is right. My mom brought tears of joy to my eyes. I am going to miss her so much. I hurts me to leave her like this. Lets go honey, you need to pack.
I started packing all my clothes. I added a few personal care items, a picture of our pack, a family photo, and I even wandered into Jakes room to steal the picture of him and Damen from his wall so I could have them both with me. I would use that picture as a reminder of why I left and why I am not going to return.
I walked to my bag and dug out some paper. I sat down on my bed and wrote a final letter I knew Jake and Damen would find. Briella and my father, along with the rest of the pack, wouldnt care that I am gone. My mom knew I was leaving, so the only people I had to say goodbye to were them. After an hour of on and off crying and writing I finally finished the letter and left it on the pillow of the bed I wouldnt see for a while. Leaving hurt but sticking around hurt more.
I gave her a small smile. I will miss you mom. Im sorry I have to leave you here with dad and my so-called sister. Dont be mad at Jake. I know me leaving him will hurt him as soon as he realizes what happened and that I wasnt lying about Damen being my mate. Tell him I love him. Tell them, if they even decide to look for me, that they wont be able to find me where I am going. I pulled my mom in for a final hug.
I will, my sweet baby girl. My mom ran her hand down the side of my face affectionately. I knew she was doing exactly what I was doing we were trying to memorize each others face, so we never forget it. After all today may or may not be the last time I see her.
Goodbye mom. I had tears streaming down my face at this point.
Goodbye my baby. I took my duffel bag from her and walked down the porch steps and into the thick trees, towards the packs borders. I had to wait until I reached the creek to change into my wolf, so the pack wouldnt smell my scent change. I didnt want them actually finding me or following me.
I turned around one last time to look at the pack house. My mom was still at the porch. I kissed my hand and sent her a wave. She returned my gesture.
This was it. I was leaving.
Jakes P.O.V.
I felt like a complete failure.
I failed my favorite person in the entire world! My sister meant more than anything to me, I just never told her or showed it. I am always too caught up in my reputation to do it. I just never thought she would accuse Damen, our alpha to be, of being her mate! His birthday was like a year ago! Surely he wouldve claimed her if he had known they were mates. Right?
Of course he would have. Sure my sister isnt the most popular person in our pack but she is by far the most caring. She is also extremely beautiful, contrary to what she may think, she is. I think what makes her so pretty is the fact that she holds herself with such confidence. Shes my little sister I love her, even if I dont act like I do. Cassidy is the exact person I want my mate to be like. Someone who is caring, sweet, confident, beautiful, who puts others first, one knows her morals like waiting for her mate someone who knows who she is.
After Cassidy left I regretted that I didnt take her side and that I made a scene. I knew Cassidy hated attention and that I was the one who was making the scene. I let her down so many times. I felt terrible when I saw the tears brimming in her eyes, I just couldnt back down. My pride wouldnt let me.
Cassidy, my sister, never lies. And I accused her of it in front of the whole school! I needed to apologize as soon as possible!
Upon arriving at the pack house I rushed out of the car. I burst through the front door only to find my mom sitting on the couch. She motioned for me to come to her. She looked posed as if she was waiting for me. Why?
Sit down right now Jacob Mathew. My mom had a very unfamiliar icy tone and stern stare. She normally never got angry or disciplined us. I was in some serious trouble. My guess is that she heard about everything that happened at school today.
First of all, I would like to tell you that I am ashamed of your actions today. I thought I raised you better than that! I thought that you cared about your sister. You just insulted her and called her a liar when you full as well know she cannot really lie. Secondly, you are grounded until I feel like that punishment should be lifted. I nodded. I was going to take full responsibility for my actions today. My mom took a deep breath before continuing. Cassidy is gone. My baby girl left.
I jumped to my feet. What do you mean shes gone?! She cant be gone. She cant become a rogue! She cant cut all her ties to the pack! I sunk back down to the couch. One could probably see tears in my eyes now. She cant be gone mom! She wouldnt just leave. I didnt believe her. I had to see it for myself. I once again jumped off the couch, ignoring my moms protests, and ran up the stairs to Cassidys room.
The room that once held all my sisters belongings now looked as if no one had ever been there before. I scanned the room. My eyes finally landed on the bed. There was a single letter placed on the pillows. It read Whoever finds this.
I crossed the room in minimal strides and picked up the letter. I tore it open and read it through. I was furious, heart broken, and deeply hurt. How could I do this? I hurt her so bad that she left? No. I wasnt the only reason.
I pulled my phone from my pocket and called Damen.
Damens P.O.V.
I was driving my truck home from school when my phone rang. I pulled over. It was my mates brother Jacob, also my to be beta. I had a good reason for rejecting Cassidy. As much as it hurt me to do it I had to.
I knew today was her sixteenth birthday the moment I woke up. I could already feel my bond to her growing. As I got ready for the day I contemplated how I would reject her. It didnt feel right rejecting your other half, the one person made for you, but it was necessary. I accepted that.
On my way out the door my father gave me a stern look. I knew what that meant, and nodded in return. I drove all the way to school feeling conflicted. I was anticipating seeing her. She is a breathtaking beauty. Her mile long legs her heart shaped face her dazzling eyes her shining intellect. Everything is perfect about her. But I was also filled with dread. She was never going to bear my mark on her shoulder, warning every unmated male that she was mine. She would never help me lead my pack, or ever be round with our pups. It broke my heart but I knew this day was coming since my last birthday.
I pulled up to my usual parking space and walked across the quad to my group of closeish friends, they didnt really know anything about me. Then her smell hit me. It smelled like vanilla and berries mixed together. It was mouthwatering and addicting. I turned around to meet her searching eyes. She looked breathtaking today. I heard her whisper mate aloud.
Jake visibly stood up straighter and shot her a venomous glare. What did you just say Cass? Everyone within a few feet had stopped and tuned into the scene unfolding when Cassidy had said mate out loud. He had no right to talk to her like that. My wolf was fighting with me for control so he could teach the pup a lesson. I held him back though. He wasnt in control, I was. And I had to clear my head enough to reject her.
Cassidy looked so angry. Her look seemed to be saying Why are you asking me this? You heard me! She repeated it anyway. I said mate Jake! Damen is my mate! I knew it the minute I saw him! She turned her beautiful and angelic face towards me. I had just finished my disgusting make out with Briella. Ever since I figured out that Cassidy was my mate I had refrained from such interactions, but now it was needed if I was really going to do this. Her eyes pleaded with me to tell the truth. Tell him Damen! Im your mate.
I would have liked nothing more than to run over to her and take her in my arms. To make everything okay again. To kiss the worry lined off her adorable forehead. No. Damen pull yourself together. You have to reject her. I chanted to myself. So I said what needed to be said. Like you would be my mate! Thats rich! I need a strong alpha female for my pack, preferably a shifter. You Cassidy Knightlock are neither. You arent even pretty. If you were my mate, not that you are, The following words tasted like acid coming from my mouth. I would reject you. I visibly saw her heart break. I wished I could take it back, but what was done was done. I did what was necessary. My wolf howled out to his mate. He didnt reject her, in fact a year ago when he finally saw her he was instantly in love with her. And frankly I was too, I just had to do what was right. I reluctantly turned and gave Briella another disgusting kiss. Even though it killed me to do so.
Jake looked like he was embarrassed. He turned to me and said, Im sorry about my sister Damen. I dont know what has gotten into her. Cassidy looked right back up. Tears were in her eyes but there was a scary fire behind them. She was pissed off. Man it was hot.
My own brother doesnt believe me?! She practically yelled. If I ever got a second chance in life, where I didnt reject her, I would make a mental note never to piss her off. If looks could kill Jake and I would already be six feet under.
Jake yelled right back at her. Cassidy dont make a scene! Just get to class. You have done enough today. The mutt had no right to yell at her like that. My wolf, even in all his pain, surfaced again. He definitely wanted to teach him a lesson. No one disrespected my mate! What am I saying? I rejected her. Get used to it Damen. You have no ties to her now. Move on.
I thought that at least you of all people would believe me Jake. Her eyes refilled with tears. Her magnificent eyes should never be so sad. It actually hurt me to see her in so much pain. And knowing I was mostly responsible for it was killing me. Why did I feel this way? I was the one who rejected her! Why should I feel any pain? Then Cassidy regained my attention by continuing, I thought that my big brother, the one who was supposed to always be there for me, would actually believe me. But I guess its asking too much. You care about your reputation that bad? Fine Ill make it easier. Im gone. Goodbye Jake. With that she turned on her heel and sprinted out of there. For a non shifter she sure as hell could run fast. My life just changed forever, and it wasnt in a positive way.
I looked back down at my phone and pressed answer. Jakes angry voice was suddenly growling in my ear.
You lied to everyone didnt you? You are her mate! And now because of you she is gone. He hung up. I dropped my phone and began to shake with anger. I was getting close to shifting and only seeing her would stop it and calm my wolf enough to no want to be in control.
I let out a monstrous growl. She was what? My mate couldnt be gone.
I stepped on the gas and sped my way to the pack house.
