RARE

Chapter 1

"Xyphnyr! Get over here!" an angry voice called me from outside.

I abruptly went face to face with the pack alpha who is visibly fuming in anger.

" How could you possibly leave the pups alone!? There are so many rouges that are roaming around the area! "

"I'm sorry al-" I started but was cut off with a low growl.

A warning.

Bowing my head I just stared at the ground beneath me.

" I'm so tired of hearing your apologies " Alpha Scott said.

" You're a disgrace to this pack! I suggest that you just leave and never come back! " Alpha Scott said while turning his back and walking inside the den.

I stared at his retreating figure and retorted sarcastically, "As if I have never even thought about that before"

" How could he be so angry at me all the time " I murmured to myself and thought of ways on why he could be that pissed by me.

Well there were a lot of ways that could explain that actually. I don't even know where to start. Maybe those were also the reasons why the whole pack despises me.

My pack, the Blood Stone Pack is very known for its strong alphas, betas and even omegas.

Pups are trained at the age of six by strong wolves to learn how to fight in a real combat situation.

We have rival packs of course. But, we are mainly attacked by rouges.

Rouge wolves are more aggressive than pack wolves.

They are wolves which were outcasted or wolves that may have ran away.

Rouges succumb to their animal instincts and lets their wolf take over.

Physically, emotionally and mentally their inner beast will take complete charge and will never let their human side emerge again.

Our pack is mainly attacked by the wolves that our alpha exiled.

The reason? Well it's because they couldn't keep up on the training or maybe they had given up.

Alpha Scott is ruthless and he always say that:
" There's no place for the weak "

He doesn't care about anything else and always want to be at the top.

Why am I still staying here then? I thought to myself and went back inside the den just to hear murmurs errupting.

Oh my, here we go again.

...

As I walk, I hear hushed voices on every side while the other pack members who weren't aware was still trying to find out what happened so they could join the gossip.

I can see the disgusted and judgemental stares that they were giving me.

Despite them looking at my direction I walked straight with my chin up, chest out and of course with confidence.

They didn't even know what really happenend and just judge easily. Relying from false rumors and not wanting to know the facts first.

I happened to see the gossip queen Clain, who was staring at me from afar with her circle of "FRIENDS" as we call it and started to whisper to each other again. After sharing some words, they started to laugh altogether.

Tsk, toxicity is everywhere.

...
                  

While I was walking to my part of the den. Three wolves blocked my path.

" Well, well, look who we have here. It's Xyphnyr " Veronica said while eyeing me from head to toe. She laughed afterwards and was followed by her two minions.

I was ready to give her a feedback when-

" Nyx! " a female voice shouted.

I turned around just to see my bestfriend Lana glaring at the girls behind me.

" Lana, what are you doing here? " I asked calmly.

She didn't answer my question but went forward with long strides.

" Hey, you three " Lana said while gesturing her hands toward the three wolves in front of us.

" You girls better leave my bestfriend alone or I'll tear you into pieces " Lana said through gritted teeth.

" Awww. Should we be scared then little Lana? " one of Veronicas' minion said sarcastically while taking one step forward. The other was amused at the scene unfolding and just smirked at my bestfriend with her arms across her chest.

In lightning speed, the girl was out of sight and is now pinned to the wall by an angered Lana with one hand on the poor girls' neck.

Lana grips the girls' neck tightly and effectively blocks the passage of air.

The girl was desperately clawing at her arms and was begging to let her go. Her voice becoming weaker as every second passed.

The three of us who were watching turned pale and couldn't even move. We just stood frozen in place.

Lana released the girl who is now hysterically coughing and is gasping for breath while her friends went to her aid.

" First of all, I'm not little. Second, is yes. You should be scared of me. And lastly, shut that mouth of yours or I will sew it shut " Lana said while shooting daggers out of her eyes.

Lana took me by my arm and said a simple, " Let's go " and started to walk further into the den.

As we reached my part of the den Lana released my arm and went inside. Me following just behind her.

While we took our sit and got comfortable enough, we talked.

" You are so overprotective and you're not even my mate " I said while fighting off a laugh.

Lana pouted at that and said, " So what? Many people here aren't really on good terms with you "

" I'm your protector! " Lana said in a 'as a matter in fact voice' while puffing out her chest.

I laughed at that while shaking my head from side to side. But also entirely glad that even if THE WHOLE PACK hated me, there is one who stayed by my side and became my trusted friend.

"Well yeah, I guess you could say that" I replied while looking at my bestfriend and listened to her ramble about her day.

...

After a while of talking and laughing, Lana said her goodbyes.

I changed my clothes into new ones and gently laid down on the fur lain on the stone floor.

Tiredness overcame me and I drifted off to sleep not without a smile plastered on my face.
