Where Do I Go From Here

Chapter 2

I ran down the stairs to the kitchen so I could prepare breakfast for the residents of the pack house.

"Make bacon, eggs toast, pancakes, waffles, make sure you get fresh fruit put out orange juice, and I want it freshly squeezed, um. Yea." He walked out the kitchen.

I started off with all the pancake batter when the pack slut... Um, I mean... Yea, pack member Courtney came in with her laundry. She shoved the basket in my arms and said "I want these washed with hot water only and make sure to use the right detergent this time." She left the kitchen.

I walked into the laundry room to place her stuff down and I felt a strong pain everywhere. My bones were popping trying to shift position but my body wouldn't let them.

I let out a blood curdling cry. I collapsed to the ground tears pouring from my eyes. My brother came in saying "Why are there pancakes burning on the......" He looked at me on the floor and I swore for a second I saw sympathy flash through his eyes.

He grabbed me by my wrist and dragged me up the stairs to my room he threw me on the floor and yelled "Shift!" Obeying him my bones popped. Black fur sprouted from my skin and my clothes shredded into nothing. I lay on the ground with four legs, paws, a tail and piercing blue eyes. Everything looked clear and my ears picked up the smallest sound, my nose the faintest scent.

I was used to my new senses, I looked up at my brother. I saw something in his eyes that I didn't recognize. He walked into my closet grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt and threw them at me. My wolf whimpered. "Oh, shut up and shift back." Obeying him I felt that unbearable pain again but it wasn't as bad. "Put the clothes on and get back downstairs." He slammed my door shut.

I quickly dressed and went downstairs to get ready to go to school. I walked down the stairs and my senses kicked in. I smelled him. My mate. The one who would take me away from my hell. The one who would love me unconditionally.

I flew down the steps following his scent of pine trees and fresh grass. The closer and closer I got to him the happier I felt. When I finally reached him I was shocked. There in front of me stood Trey my new beta.

He looked at me with confusion. I thought maybe the scent was from behind him but when I walked past him our arms brushed and electricity went off. Sparks flew through my whole body.

Instantly our eyes flew to each others and I couldn't look away. In his eyes I saw love. It made my heart flutter. But all to soon it ended.

His eyes darkened and he grabbed me by my throat and pushed me up against the wall. I scratched at his hand trying to rip it from my throat but it was useless. "You are weak, worthless and pathetic, you would never be fit for a beta, and you are not worthy to be the daughter of two great alphas." Tears were pouring out of my eyes. With every word I felt as if I was being stabbed in my chest.

I knew. "Hope Smith. I reject you as my mate."

He rejected me. He took his hand from my neck and I fell to the floor.
