Phobia

David
I walked deep into the woods that night. I couldn't deal with it, the pain, the hurt. My chest felt as if someone took a sledgehammer and pounded a hole straight through. I stopped by my favorite tree, leaning my back against the hard bark,I slid to the ground crying. I was the only one of my kind but If people were to ever find out who I really was, I would have to leave my pack and become a rogue. Left to wander in the wilderness, to die. Wolves are social creatures. That's why they live in packs. Separation from the pack would cause my wolf to wither and die.

Her name was Kate. We dated for a while and we really loved each other. She lived a few blocks away. We were inseparably close and I still love her. I had finally got her to say it back but when I told I wasn't just an ordinary werewolf, that I was a hybrid, she just ran straight out the door..just like the others. A hybrid is the cross between a werewolf and a vampire. Hybrids are the most feared. They have the abilities of both werewolves and vampires plus others that only they have. My real parents were the cause of me being a hybrid. My mom was a werewolf and my dad was a vampire and it was forbidden for them to be together but they had me. With my life being at danger, they left me at the doorsteps of my stepparents to protect me or I would've been killed.

I was brought back from my thoughts when my mom mind linked me to tell me that dinner is ready. So I cleared my face as I walked back to the house. My mom was the Luna of our pack, so yeah, I'm the son of an Alpha. As I entered the the back door into the kitchen, I find both my parents in deep conversion. "David, me and your father have something to tell you," said my mother who sounded a bit tense. "What's wrong, why are both of you so quiet?''

 "David, we have decided to move to the official pack house since your dad has been appointed as the new Alpha,"my mom related. "I have to son, I won't be able to run the pack from here!"

I stood there for a few seconds, trying to comprehend what I had just heard. As I opened my mouth to protest, my father said it wasn't up for discussion while glaring at me and I got the message pretty quickly. It's dangerous to argue with an alpha, even if it's dad, his temper isn't the best.

The next day, I left for school in my black porch. Yeah, I am the alpha's son so it does has it perks. I went without any  breakfast. I wasn't hungry. You see, I was the typical high school heart throb. The most athletic, handsome guy that every girl craved. As I walked into school, I put on the routine facade. I showed what people expected and wanted to see but inside I was a truly messed up person that nobody knew. As I sauntered down the hall, my friend Alec walked towards me. We we're both on the basketball team. He was a tall guy, a little shorter than me. He had moppy hair with intense blue eyes,medium built and a wolf that could run faster than a speeding bullet. I was faster but if I showed it, others would know I was different.

He took one glance at me and knew something was wrong.
"You OK d",he asked. Yeah,I'm fine"I lied. I knew he knew I was lying because he rolled his eyes. "You're my brother and all so whatever it is I'm here for you man".

Although he was my closest friend,I didn't trust easy. He tried getting close to me but I always kept to myself till he  eventually gave up. As I continued down the hall, I stopped by my locker to get some books when all of a sudden I smelt roses..

I smelt her.

I smelt Kate.

I felt a nauseating feeling rise in my stomach as I held on to the locker door to steady myself. She wasn't even my mate and yet I'm here...wait! What happens when find my mate? I couldn't tell her what I am! She'd surely reject me! I couldn't bear the thought of being rejected by my mate. I hadn't really thought about having a mate till then and it all came clear

I couldn't have a mate!

I would be forced to live without the one person that completes you and I would slowly die. But that wasn't gonna be an option for me. I wouldn't let that happen because from now on....

I won't have a mate!

In that few minutes of reflection, I hardened myself. I will not accept my mate.I will not let anyone close enough to hurt me, not again. From now on, I will forbid myself to love anyone ever again.

So I turned around and I looked at her. She was shorter than me.had blond hair that fell down her back in curls. Her eyes were as green as jade. She was petite but had an attitude that could kill an entire pack! The feelings came rushing back...the pain,the hurt, but I was tired of being hurt.I channeled all that emotion into anger and resentment for her
