Tori’s POV
Hi my name is Victoria Thea, but my friends call me Tori. Well actually, since I am abused by my pack except for my brother Cole, he tries to protect me but I don’t let him, I only have one friend and her name is Vivian Frilla. She has black, shoulder length hair, sparkling blue eyes and is around 5’11. She is the definition of pretty, she is tall and skinny, and all of the guys through themselves at her. Me, I’m just the packs punching bag. I am like 5’4, I have long white hair that is red at the ends no matter how short it is, the last three inches always remain red, even if you cut it and my eyes are a piercing golden color. I’m not skinny but I’m not fat either, even though the pack says I am. I try not to listen to them though, but its hard not to with the constant insults coming. I’m a werewolf but I haven’t shifted yet, that gives my pack a whole other reason to hate me. I can talk to my wolf though, her name is Thea, the same as my last name, I never knew why she doesn’t either, she told me that it means daughter of the sun, moon, dawn and dusk. I don’t really know what that means. I tried asking her why I couldn’t shift at the age of 15 and she wouldn’t tell me so I backed off. When I was 10 my parents died in a rouge attack. They were patrolling and they were ambushed. At the time, the Alpha was furious and he killed all the rouges that killed my parents himself after that he went back to his normal self.
Today is my 16th birthday and the day I will finally find my mate. I hear a pounding on my door, I know its my brother. “Wake up Tori, time to go to school.” He shouts through the door. I groan and get up. I live in the attic and it has a really small bathroom in it for me. I quickly take a shower and throw on jeans and a hoodie. I walked downstairs and started getting breakfast ready for the pack. I finished just as Blake, the soon to be Alpha came in.
‘MATE, MATE, MATE’ Thea screamed inside my head. “Mate...” I whispered, barely audible to hear, but of course he heard me. “Oh hell no. You are not my mate. You’re not Luna material. Well we can’t have this. I, Blake Cooper, reject you, Victoria Thea as my mate.” He said. My eyes started to water, “I, Victoria Thea, accept your, Blake Copper’s, rejection as mate. I put the rest of the breakfast on the table and grabbed my bag and left. I walked out into the forest. I ran and ran until I came to my special spot. It wasn’t big but it was special to me. I found it the day my parents were killed. Every one blames me for their death but I was only nine at that time.
I sat down next to the small stream that ran next to it. It was a small clearing surrounded by trees. In the clearing was a small stream that was at the side with a boulder next to it for sitting or leaning against. I dropped my bag and sat leaning against the boulder. ‘We need to leave.’ Said Thea in my head. ‘We can’t just leave, if they catch us then they have the right to kill us.’ I said back to her. ‘Not if we leave now while every one is at work or school. Now go home, pack your things, leave a note to Cole and then run.’ She says and then retreats to the back of my mind.
I reach the pack house and sprint up to my room, well really its just the attic. I unload my school stuff from my backpack and put in all my clothes, which is really just three pairs of jeans, two shirts, one hoodie and my underwear. I also pack up my shampoo and conditioner. Then lastly, my blue teddy bear that Cole gave to me on my 15th birthday. I walk to my desk and take out a piece of paper.
Dear Cole,
I am really going to miss you, I’m sorry I’m leaving but I just can’t take the beatings anymore, the name calling, the slaps and the rejection from my mate, the one and only Alpa Blake Cooper. I will miss you so much Cole. I want you to know I love you, so much.
With lots of love,
Tori
I take out another piece of paper and start another letter.
Dear my hated pack,
I’m so done with the beatings, and the name calling. I’m so done, I am leaving and I want you all to know I hate you, with so much passion, especially you Alpha and I hope you have a horrible life. I want you all to know that you will regret what you did to me.
With lots of Hate,
Tori
PS: All of you GO DIE IN A HOLE (Especially you Blake)
I sat up from my desk, put both of the notes on my bed and walked out of my attic and left the pack house, I walked into the woods, going what I think was South.
Blake’s POV (YAY we get to see the big dickhead’s POV)
I pulled into the pack house parking lot. I got out and didn’t smell anything cooking. She was supposed to be cooking, worthless piece of shit, thats what I thought. ‘She is NOT a piece of shit, she is our mate!’ My wolf Trevor shouted into my head, ‘No sh-’ I was cut off by him breaking the mind link. I walked into the house and looked around. I was the first home from school, well aside from Tori. “TORI, GET YOUR ASS DOWN RIGHT THIS SECOND AND MAKE ME DINNER!” I roared in my alpha voice. No sound came from upstairs. Oh she is going to get it I thought. I walked up the stairs to the attic and tried to turn the door nob. It was locked. I banged on the door, no answer. Then I heard a car pull up into the packs drive way, I went down to see who it was. It was Cole, Tori’s brother and also my best friend and beta. “Hey man, do you have the key to your sisters room, the door is locked.” I said in my alpa voice, he had no choice to submit and do as I said. We both walked upstairs and he went into his room to get the key. He came back and we both walked up to the attic and he unlocked the door. It was empty, everything was gone except for the furniture and her school supplies.
I walked over with her brother to the bed and their on her bed were two notes, one to Cole and one to the rest of us. I read it, over and over again, I looked up to see Cole looking down at the note, he was crying, and that is big since he never cries. Then suddenly his eyes turn black. “YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU REJECTED HER! SHE LEFT BECAUSE OF YOU!” He slammed me into the wall whilst holding onto the collar of my shirt. I could see him fighting to keep control of his wolf. “Cole, calm down.” I can see his wolf submit and his eyes return to the brown color they always are. He puts me down and turns around and walks away, I hear his bedroom door shut and I fall to the ground, I rest my head on my knees and think, about what happened today.
Tori’s POV
I ran and ran until I couldn’t run anymore. I came to a clearing with a stream and sat down to rest. ‘It’s happening...’ I heard Thea echo through my head. ‘What’s happening?’ I ask, then I feel pain, thats all I feel pain, then crack, bones snapping. ‘I’m shifting aren’t I?’ I ask her, ‘Yes’ is all I hear before the cracking stops. I look down and realize that I am a pure white wolf with red rings around my eyes, rings around my tail, red markings on my head, red tipped ears, red paws. My fur also had sparkles in it like stars, I was utterly beautiful. I look closer at the color of red, it isn’t a fox kind of red it is a full on red color. I walk over to the stream and look down. I was beautiful, I was also really big, where all alphas were about 6’5 in in their wolf forms, I was around 8’7 in my wolf form. I was huge, how is this possible? I asked my wolf. All will be explained in time Tori she said. I was exhausted, I shifted back to my human form, how do I mask my scent? I want to do it because I don’t know what territory we are on, I think it is FireRidge Pack. I asked my wolf. Just think if a vacuum sucking up dust. There you did it. She replied. then I collapsed from exhaustion.
