Blind & Broken

Prologue

Nothing has ever gone my way when it comes to life. I mean, first of all, I was born blind while my twin sister was not. So, naturally, she gets the real affection while I get the pity attention.

And trust me, being blind really sucks.

I mean, I don't even know what I really look like! I've been told I'm pretty, but what am I to believe? I can't see it for myself!

And with being blind comes the questions. So. Many. Questions. Like "were you born like that?" "You really can't see anything?" "Is it just dark? Or is it like when I close my eyes and I see the reddish color of the back of my eyelid?" Yeah, I've actually been asked that. Like how am I supposed to know? This is all I've known my entire life! I don't even know what red really looks like; how could I? The list of questions drag on and on until I literally want to explode.

Next on the reasons why my life sucks is that I'm a runt. Some people call them stunted wolves, which I feel is an incorrect term because we can in fact shift. We just don't shift at the normal age of sixteen. Instead, our wolves wait for our mate. Apparently we need our mate to get us through the excruciating shift because of how weak and little we are. But I don't really know how it all works. Obviously I've never seen it, and I have yet to find my mate.

I absolutely cannot wait to find my mate. I long for someone to truly love me for who I am, despite my flaws.

I also can't wait to meet my wolf, which comes with finding my mate. I can't wait to be able to shift; maybe I'll be able to see in wolf form!

The biggest obstacle with finding my mate is the fact that you know it's your mate first by eye contact. But that's kind of impossible for me.

So this will be quite the adventure.

Because I'm blind. And I'm broken.
