Introduction-
"I am your mate, you are supposed to love only me John! I thought you cared" I cowered behind the thin door of my bedroom as I heard my parents' usual bickering.
"You wont let me be! And when I do want you there, you are flirting with every fucking male you see" I felt the tears coming again, threatening to spill. Some tears were of sadness, my parents were constantly hating each other. You could say they had a love-hate relationship. One would be jealous if the other just looked at the cashier or our waiter. They were too emotional, too jealous because they loved each other.
Complicated? Very.
My tears also held an emotion of hatred. I guess I felt like they should act just like every couple in every fairytale I read as a child, loving each other to the full extent.
You stupid girl, nothing is like a fairytale, get your head out of the clouds. I sighed as I agreed with my wolf. I was pathetic and vulnerable. My hatred for myself deepened as I listened to their conversation once more.
"You know what? I cant handle you anymore! I am leaving, you and Amber can fend for yourselves"
"Where are you going John? Off to scamp number 4? Or is it 5 this time? I can never remember" I winced at my mother's bitterness.
"Shut your damn mouth Claire!" Those were the last words I heard as the door slammed and my mother wept as she walked to her room. I knew he wasn't coming back. This wasn't his normal rage of 'staying one night and coming home after work only to yell at you again'.
I let one more tear slip before I felt my face begin to redden with anger. I was tired of feeling pathetic and these emotions only messed with me. From this day on, I refuse to show or feel emotion. And in a couple of days, on my 18th birthday when I first shift and find my mate, I will reject my mate. If my mate and I are anything like my parents, then I will feel completely content with the emptiness of losing my other half. my wolf whimpered at that thought, she is already in love with him and she hadn't even met him.
And I'm the naïve one? Don't you see? That will be us one day and I have already had enough of it.
I know she responded sullenly while she retreated to the back of my mind. With that last thought, I did the one thing I knew best.
I ran.
