Chapter 1: Where I Lose My Lifeline

My name is Crimson Viviana Moon and I'm the daughter of the deceased Alpha of the Furies. I have an older brother, Cade Myrick Moon who is currently training to become the Alpha of the Furies, our pack.

My father died in a rogue attack a year ago and the Beta has been overseeing the pack until my brother returns from training. Since the Beta of the pack holds a grudge against my father for something he did more than five years ago, he has turned the entire pack against me and forced them to abuse me in Cade's absence. Now, they aren't even forced - they just like to treat me as their personal punching bag.

I can't do anything because right now, I have no authority. Ever since Cade left, Travis has stayed by my side. He's my lifeline and the only reason why I'm here today. He makes me strong. Travis is the Beta's first born but isn't going to be handed the position of the Beta since Clarence, the current Beta finds his second born to be more 'Beta material'.

I turn sixteen tomorrow, the age of finding your mate and shifting into your wolf. I'm both nervous, and excited. I just want to find my mate and get out of here. I've kept in mind that I can be rejected and accepted it already. I don't care. Mate or not, I'm out of here.

I change into a pair of black sweatpants with a baggy grey sweatshirt and beat-up Vans. I comb my hair with my fingers as Clarence thought that I didn't deserve the luxuries of using a comb. I was genuinely surprised when he gave me some razors but then really wasn't when he opened his mouth and gave me the reason, "Just in case you want to kill yourself,"

As if I'm going to kill myself at this point. I could've killed myself earlier if I wanted to but I didn't want Cade to suffer. I'm miserable, not desperate.

School was finally done for the day and let me tell you, it wasn't fun - far from it. I was beaten up and I have more homework to do today than usual.

I'm so sick of all this shit, but I'm mostly disappointed in myself for being so weak. All I'm waiting for is to find my mate, so that I can leave this hellhole. If I don't find my mate by tomorrow, I'm leaving this place. But I'll return, for Cade and Travis. I also need to show these wolves that they cannot boss me around because guess what? I'm the boss around here - even in this weakened state.

Wait, I just realized something. I haven't seen Travis all day. Oh well, let's sneak into his bedroom and check what's up with my best friend.

"OW!" I nearly scream when I fall in Travis' bedroom from the window.

"Viviana?" Travis whispered as he woke up with a start.

"What's up, Travis? I haven't seen you all day!" His soft expression hardened forcefully as he gritted through his teeth, "Get out of my room before I call my dad."

"Wait, what?"

"Get out of my room before I call Beta Clarence, you freak!" He whispers in forced anger.

"But what's wrong, Travis?"

"Don't you get it, Viviana? GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"

I stood there with tears in my eyes, and I knew that Clarence had commanded Travis to behave this way with me. How can someone be so cruel even to the ones they love? My hate for Clarence grew as I whispered, "Yeah...I'll get going."

I had lost my only lifeline in the Furies, and even though Travis had been forced, he'll start believing the lies Clarence has been feeding him - it's inevitable.
