A Life Unlived

Prologue:

I walk down the white walled hallway in the school I had been going to for the last few months. There was so many things that had happened in the time I have been here, a new life basically. But nothing would make me happy again, not ever. My heart has been living in pain, cold, frozen over, and dead. Why, you may ask? My nightmare became true. I found my mate, but we don't have the happily ever after like most werewolves would.

The bell rings, signaling the end of the school day like always. I try to get out of school as fast as I could, but I didn't make it in time as the sent of a forrest mixed with fresh air after it had rainned fills my nose and the sparks tingle up my arm. I tense up as I here a scoft next to me, the smell and feeling my wolf desired so much to have right by her every day again walks away. My mate and I tried to work things out between us, but it was too much for him to handle and he rejected me and my wolf. I could feel her pain and sorrow each time he was so close. She wanted to reach out to his wolf so much and just cry in his embrace, asking him why we had to end up like this.

I shake my head, getting rid of the many thoughts I had each time that'd happen and make my way to my brother's beat up old car. I quickly got in and buckled up as he pulled out of the school parking lot. Our drive home was silent like it was most days, me just staring out of the passenger side window, grieving on the inside. My life like how it was now, unnoticed and no one caring, didn't start there. It started a long time ago with my parents giving their lives for my brother and I.

-Flashback-

I wake up to the light from the big glass window seeping into my pale blue room surrounding me, my toys, clothes, everything a 6 year old girl could ever want surrounding me every day. Actually, today was my 6th birthday and everyone in the pack was getting ready to celebrate it. You see, my father was the Alpha's Beta and my best friend is Sam, the Alpha's son. Sam's 9 and always says that he love's me like a sister, willing to give his life for mine if we ever got into a situation where it came down to that. He was like a second brother to me, seeing as how my older brother Jared, is 16. I smiled and yawned as I got out of bed and looked towards my dresser, spotting the big present in front of it, prefectly wrapped with a small note attached to it.

I smile lightly, already knowing who it was from seeing the type of wrapping paper and who wrote the letter on it. I quickly throw my bed sheets back as I hop out of bed, my small bare feet touching the cold hard wood floor. Ignoring my shivering from the cold ground, I quickly run over to the box and open it, finding a pretty soft pink dress. The dress looked like it should be worn at a wedding, but knowing Sam and Jared, they didn't care and thought it'd look good on me. I put it on and run downstairs, meeting up with my family and Sam's family for a birthday breakfast my mother and Luna Walsh made for me. 

That morning went by quickly like every other one did on a weekend. Sam and I would go hang out and play in his room with anything we felt like. We'd play cards, watch tv, play video games, even talk about how we wish the stars would aline and pair us together as mates. Yes, even at the young age of 6, I talked about mates and how it would be like a fairy tale to have Sam as my mate. "Sam, thank you for the best first 6 years of my life, and I'll care about you even if you aren't my mate," I tell him softly, my cheeks a soft pink as I give him the biggest smile I could. 

"You're welcome Nyx, and I'll always have a place in my heart for you no matter what happens to either of us." He smiles back as he moves me onto his lap and hugs me tightly to him. For him being only 9, he was strong and so wise beyond his years of living.

Now if only that peace stayed that way and we could have found out if he was my true mate or not. Sam and I where in his room, he was getting nicer clothes on for my brithday party when the attack happened. The sounds of glass breaking, wood splintering, and screams from men, women, and children rang throughout the pack house as I just stared at the door. My parents had always told me that if anything where to happen, to stay close by to my brother or Sam.

At that very moment, my brother rushed into Sam's room and started bording up the doors with heavy furniture. Sam came out of the bathroom and ran over to me, hugging me tight because he new I was scared. I felt tears running down my cheeks when I heard my mother scream in pain, my dad yelling for her to not leave after a few minutes. My brother never cries, but he did once we heared my father yelling in pain, knowing he would go with my mother.

Jared new about the tunnel way in the walls and through the basement, leading to an abandon house down the block where a car, money, packs filled with things for the Alpha and Beta families. My brother ran into Sam's closet and opened one of the hidden doors to the tunnel so we could make our escape. Jared went in first so he could get to the other sealed door to the tunnel open. I head in next, Sam insisting I go first. I should have said no, should have made him gone first.

The door to the room busted open as Sam was left out in the open. 3 rouges charged at him, and just as they got to him, he threw a small box at me. I didn't pick up the box as I stared at Sam being torn to pieces. Only when my brother picked the box and I up before shutting the hidden door did I start screaming for Sam and my parents to come back. 

-Flashback ends-

I wake up to the noise of the car engine stopping, not having realized that I even fell asleep. Tears stained my cheeks and Jared new why, so he left it alone as he walked into the small house given to my brother and I when we arived. It has been 10 years since that night, 10 years since I lost my family and best friend. It has been 10 years of moving around because my brother and I are werewolves and we aren't accepted for more than one year on a packs land. After that day, I shut myself out, I didn't care about the world around me, and I lived a life unlived.
