Prologue

It's strange how life changes. As a kid I used lay to down in my backyard, stare at the clouds and just daydream. I would feel the sun warming my skin, smell the fresh cut grass and be so delighted in the simplicity life. The playground was my kingdom, hopscotch was my chosen profession and cookies my desired bread. 

The world was perfection.

Then things changed. I started middle school and met Adam Greenhaven. Adam was the son of our Alpha. Up until that moment I had never interacted with him. It was the first time we were ever in the together. I walked into class, looked for a seat and that's when I saw him. Truth be told, I had no real reaction to him. He was just boy and at the time I hated boys. It was the look that he had on his face that stopped me in my tracks. 

He stared at me authentically surprised, as if I was horse that walked into the room. His head titled to the side, confusion clearly on his face. I thought I had something on me and checked to find nothing. I saw a hardness that settled into his eyes. Then disgust. I had to walk past him to reach my table, I felt myself shudder in fear.

 I knew something was wrong, I just didn't know what.

By the end of the school day, I had tripped fives times, thanks to him and his boys. From that day on things only got worse. By the end of the year, I had three broken fingers, numerous sprained ankles and several concussions. All because of Adam. By the time high school rolled around I had learned how to set broken bones by myself.

 At the time, no one knew despite several attempts to tell people. At his command I was left unable to tell anyone, including my own family. When you try to go against an Alpha's command, you get a headache, which escalates, into a migraine that brings you to your knees. When you continue the ears bleed and eventually you pass out.  I passed out one hundred and forty seven times. I gave up after that.

I learned that I was left to fend for my own.

The central crux to my dilemma was  Adam. Specifically what he was to me. I had a gift and I could see soulmates that needed help to meet. At the age of twelve I had a vision of the future showing Adam rejecting me on his eighteenth birthday. My heart broke into a thousand pieces.

In that moment I felt a horror descend one me, instantly ending my childhood. 

I wasn't supposed to know. As a kid I couldn't process what was going on. The premature finding of his rejection lead to a withdrawal from my wolf. It left me more isolated than ever. At such a young age, I had already discovered that I would never marry, have children or live the life I expected to happen. I learned that my greatest tormentor was supposed to be the man who was to protect me.
