Avaline Mara-Beth
Before They Knew It
⫷⫸
Avaline was only 15 when the pack she was in was reconstructed. Another pack had been disbanded and members were merged into theirs. Meaning more members were added and space was made available for them.
Instead of where she lived in the pack house, she was moved out as the others were moved in.
But where she was moved to she had serious problems with. She went silent and fully protected herself. Then just into the next year after turning 16, she packed her things up and quietly slipped away.
She walked away from the pack and pack lands as she couldn't stay. Her inner wolf urged her to leave seeing as no one in lead really honestly cared anymore about them.
Besides it was far too dangerous for her stay where they'd placed her.
~~
On her own, she and her wolf did just fine.
They hadn't been initiated into the pack when she'd turned 16 a month after her move from the pack house. She honestly got lost in the pack shuffle when no longer living in the pack house. They truly forgot about her.
To her it now felt like they cared less about her than they did the new members.
~~
At 18, she received her inheritance. She had gone to an estate lawyer and proved who she was and signed all the paperwork needed to receive a whole lot of money.
She truthfully would have rather had her parents but they'd died just three months before the pack was reconstructed. She was deeply grieving for her lost parents when she'd been uncaringly moved out of the pack house. Then truly forgotten about.
She had put herself through a city's grief counselling. They'd placed her in a different group home finding out where she was living.
She walked away once she received the money as she'd already graduated high school. Then she got her driver's license and departed the area. In another city, she bought a needed vehicle from a couple that were newly pregnant and downsizing as they were planning to move.
Then she left the area all together once she reinsured the vehicle after having taken it to a mechanic to thoroughly check it over.
~~
It wasn't until then that the pack was visited by angry Council members and Warriors.
~~
Two years later, Avaline was just finished graduating her University courses and when she had collected her paperwork from the office and walking to her vehicle did she notice the Council Warriors.
They had parked and all got out and she saw them entering the building as she looked back. She had already packed her belongings and loaded her vehicle, so she drove away.
She knew there were others attending the University who they could be there for. The others attending weren't like her at all and she truly avoided them all. They had no idea she was even a she-wolf.
~~
When she was in a minor accident months later, she had her vehicle towed and once it was checked over, she ended up selling it to the mechanic who absolutely loved the car. She took excellent care of it and he wanted it and offered her a good deal.
She took his offer and bought another vehicle. Though she still filed an insurance claim as she wasn't at fault and took the money.
The one who caused the accident had immediately riled her up, as he said it was 100% her fault. He yelled in her face that women shouldn't be driving.
