Prologue
The wind blew through out the field and the grass swayed. Birds chirped one last time before silencing letting the owls and crickets come out to play the songs of the night. The lakes water calm due to the non activity. The moon was full and the wolfs howled as they did every month. It was a ritual for them that no one could explain, not that anyone wanted to know. Tears fell freely down onto the silky green grass when I thought about this evening before I ran to the woods.
I was invited to the ball that the palace was holding. What would happen to me? Would I ever see my family again? Of course I will. I just have to make sure I'm not a mate to a werewolf. I couldn't get rid of the negative thoughts though as I pulled on the grass beneath me with my fingers so hard my hands started turning white. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. I wanted to cry but I held it in. Staying strong was my only option but not just for me but for my mother too. I lost my brother to those animals when I was shopping with him. We were at the mall and were eating at the food court when suddenly a women my brothers age tapped his shoulder. We both looked up and soon she spoke the words that broke my heart. Mate. My brother got out of his seat and grabbed my arm and pulled me to him but she growled. Obviously not knowing I was only his little sister. He was 20 as I was 15 but she didn't care. She went to pull him away but he hugged me as we cried together. I remember what he told me, what he promised me.
"Emma go home. Go get mom and tell her I love her. Tell her I will be fine okay?" I only nodded as i sobbed again. He pulled my face up so I looked at him. " I love you Emma so much. Take care of yourself and mom and I promise I will see you again. I won't ever stop thinking about that day." I shook my head and started crying and screaming as she grabbed my brother and pulled him away from me while a woman that was sitting behind me grabbed me and hugged me trying to calm me down.
"NO! RYDER NO!" I remember shouting as she took him away from me. He looked broken.
"I love you Emma." He said before she dragged away my best friend. I cried into the random ladies arms while people watched in pity. The lady called my mom and that's it.
I was never the same after that day and my mom was worried for me. I was always so happy but now I all I feel is numb. After that day I had no more friends and I did online schooling instead. After all who would want to be friends with someone like me.
I became kind of bad ass you could say. I got arrested at least 5 times in the last month but from nothing really serious. Even the cops feel sorry for me, especially Will. My dads best friend before my dad passed. He would be the one to drop me off back at home. My mom tried so hard to keep me happy and I tried for her. Now I'm going to the ball and I have no say or the guards from the palace will personally come after me.
I don't know what to think anymore. I'm so fucked.
