Hope you enjoy!

Kristina,

My body had never felt so bad.

Not even the time I'd been hit, repeatedly with one of the jocks belt from school. This was worse, I'd wanted to tear my skin apart the moment I'd awoken from my 2 day slumber. Nurse after nurse held me down as I writhed in pain. Nobody knew what was wrong with me, or why I felt this way. But I did.

It was all because of that blue eyed boy that haunted every minute of my dreams.

Every time I blinked all I could see was his beautiful face, when the pain became to much and they had to put me to sleep, all I could hear was his laugh, the soft kind one I'd heard him use with his closet family.

My wolf had hidden from me, whimpering, screaming begging for her mate.

6 days into the pain I'd begun to wonder if Caleb felt the way I did. Did he feel like his heart was being shattered repeatedly? Like when you thought maybe things were turning around a knife was just plunged back into your chest?

A part inside me, deep down, wished he did. Wished he felt the way I do now, alone and broken

But this time, I wouldn't lose. I would be victorious and show everybody, anybody who questioned me who I was, I was Kristina and I was going to kick major ass.

1 year later.

I rested my powder brush against the pallet, glancing around my poster filled, every girls dream room smiling as my closet friends danced to one of the latest pop songs on the radio. It was Layla's birthday and a party of course was needed. For the past hour and a half we'd waxed, laughed, joked and preened ourself to utter perfection. I turned back to my full length mirror, settling a full fledged smile at me reflection.

Gone was the over weight girl who had arrived here a year ago. I was no longer shy, scared and timid, I was comfortable for once in my own body and I relished every single day of it.

The door opened and a head piped through. I smiled as my current boyfriend Liam made his way towards me, wrapping a comforting arm around my waist. I leaned into his warm body, smiling as he kissed my neck before whispering in my ear.

"You look beautiful." I smiled and nestled closer. Liam wasn't my mate, and probably never would be, but he was the closest thing I had to one. After arriving here a year ago, I'd trained every way possible, desperately trying to block link between me and Caleb. And over time it had worked, I no longer felt the pain as he slept with other women or the anger he held in his heart. I was free of his chains.

Finally.

"Thank you." I whispered back, pecking a small kiss onto his ruby red lips.

We stayed for a few moments, wrapped in each others embrace before Liam's eyes glazed over as I learnt he was receiving a pack message. He looked into my eyes with a sad smile as he pecked my lips once again, "Sorry babe, I've got to go. Pack business."

I nodded, of course I understood, he was an alpha after all. And I get what you guys must be thinking, what hers deal with alphas and to be honest I didn't completely know, there was just something so completely sexy about a shirtless alpha.

He squeezed my waist once more before leaving me alone with my girls. "So, what's on the agenda for tonight?" I ask curiously, smiling as Megan typed furiously on her phone.

"Partying," she smiled mischievously, "lots of partying." We all shared a laugh. After finishing of our hair and makeup we made our way downstairs, into the life on the party. Strobe lights littered the pack house once clean living room, red cups littered the floor and body's grinded on the make shift dance floor. I picked up three red cups before passing them round the group.

We downed the cups quickly before grabbing each other's hands and making our way onto the dance floor, to create some amazing memories.
