Chapter 1 - Leaving.
Avery Delgado
"I can't even hug my own daughter" The sound of my mom's cries reaches my listening ears, as I stand outside their ajar bedroom door. The wall, I'm plastered up against, shielding me from view, if they were to look through the crack in the door.
"It's out of control Ryland"
"I know, honey" Ryland, the man my mom married, tries to console her, but to no avail.
I know they're talking about me, and I know I'm out of control. The knowledge has been drilled into my brain since I was even younger than my four years of life now.
Her cries continue, Ryland shushing her, and from the small crack, hugs her tightly. I walk away, leaving behind my shame. Shame, I've felt every day I remember, and I'm so exhausted and drained by the overbearing emotion. Carrying it around like a heavy loaded gun.
I want to be free. For once. For good.
Leave behind the shame, and every other emotion. Leave it all behind.

I was born from two worlds. One shifter, the other empath. My mom, a shifter Queen. My dad a disgraced unique powerful empath. My dad was known as powerful, but most importantly, cruel, and considering what brought me into this world, I'll have to agree. Rape. My mom was raped, and as a surprise gift to remind her of that awful night, I was conceived.
My dad didn't stick around long enough to ever know about my existence. He fled like a coward, the second he was done with my mom, and no one has seen or heard from him since. He just vanished.
My dad was disgraced because of his long list of wrong doings, long list of sins, and if anyone has a dept to pay, it's him.
Two and a half years after my birth, my mom met her mate, Ryland, and with his arrival, his two daughters followed. Ashley and Audrey, the twin princesses.
I was born a Queen, destined to take over the East kingdom. My stepsisters got the princess status, when mom and Ryland married, much to Audrey' delight. A completely power-hungry bitch is what she justifies as. Ashley, I tolerate, and at some level kind of like, but Audrey and I clash more times than not.
She has loathed me since the beginning, because I'm the next Queen, instead of her. Audrey is born three minutes before Ashley, and they are both about six months older than me, and so she is deemed the oldest, and therefore, if she carried an ounce of my mom's royal blood, would have inherited the crown. Understanding that she is not a Delgado, and will never be, is not something she's capable of.
Too caught up in her own thirst for more power, than she has already been granted.
She should count herself lucky, that her dad is mated to my mom, or she would have been princess of no one and nothing. Just an unimportant peasant, scraping the bottom of the food chain.

Earlier that day.
I ran along the castle corridors, Seth on my tail, chasing me, as I let loose and giggle in glee. Seth' small paws hit the hardwood floor, his claws scraping against the wood. His pup-like growl echoes upon the walls.
Our little childish innocent chase comes to an end, when Audrey stands in the throne room, her arms crossed over her small chest. A scowl on her delicate features, making me halt before coming to a stop in front of her. Seth stops his chasing of me and stand as tall as he can with his pup size, beside me.
Always my protector, fierce and fearless.
"You're a freak of nature" She spat the words out as if they burned her, as if holding them in was burning her alive. "You shouldn't be Queen. You can't even control your own freak powers, and you are expected to rule a whole kingdom" She scoff with a hateful cackle. "Pathetic"
