Chapter 7 

Well it was the moment of truth and everyone’s eyes were on me. I looked down at my drink, took a sip and let out a small sigh. I could remember it all just a vivid as the day it happened. The day that haunted my dreams. 

My eyes looked up from my drink to my mate, as he gave me an encouraging smile and I began to tell my story. 

“Okay, so it all started on my sixteenth birthday. I was with our mother, we were getting ready to go to the store to buy all the ingredients for my birthday cake. The night or well I guess the morning, well maybe midnight brought on a realization that I don’t have a wolf. So you can imagine I was pretty bummed out about that revelation. Of course the Alpha family knew immediately, considering they have to witness the first shifting of our wolves and help guide us through it for safety reasons. She never showed up and I guess the gossip spread like wildfire. 

By the time it was the day of my birthday party, many people already reversed their RSVP and had been avoiding me all week long. I was seen as being cursed by the Moon Goddess for not having a wolf.. I begged my mom to cancel the party.. My mother still insisted on having the party regardless of how others were acting and treating me. ‘Keep your chin up, soon things will change. You’ll see, everything will make sense one day.’ is all she would tell me. I wasn’t sure what she was talking about but now I think I have a clue or at least a feeling.” I paused and looked at Everest and gave him a small smile and he smiled back to

I continued as everyone was still waiting and hanging onto my words, “Anyway, the day of my party was the worst day of my life. My mother and I had just left the house and were walking our short cut route to the packhouse when she smelled them. The scent of blood and a God awful putrid smell of Rouge Lycans. There was six of them, they cornered us and demanded for her to give up her child. She wouldn’t do it of course and she told them over her dead body. Well she fought them off the best she could. She was super strong and I was amazed at her and how well she actually held her own against the Lycans. That is until one got by her and was running directly at me. I remember falling and crumbling onto the ground and covering myself. When she turned to protect me one of the other’s took her by the neck and I heard cracking. She was still fighting and the leader of the group slashed her neck. Not twenty seconds later | could hear the pack coming and one of the malen looked at me and said ‘One day we will be together, sorry about all the mess, you’re mine.’ then they all vanished. Not even thirty seconds later the Alpha and some of the pack warriors showed up. They found my curled in a ball crying and screaming over my mother. I told them exactly what happened and the Alpha didn’t believe me because their was no scent left behind. He said it was some storyl made up to cope with the trauma of losing my mother to Rouges. He said ‘Why would anyone want a wolfless little girl?’ Then everyone started treating me different. Even my own brother, but he’s fine now. He was grieving and needed someone to blame and I was his easiest target. Claire was the only friend I had the year between my 16th and 17th birthday.” Tears were streaming down my face and Everest was fuming. 

“You left your sister, who couldn’t defend herself alone?!” He slammed his fist on the table and my brother looked down in shame. 

“I was still a kid myself. I know now it was wrong to behave that way. My mate helped me work through my grief in a healthy way.” He was looking at his empty appetizer plate, 

I placed my hand on my Mates and his gaze drifted back over to me and I felt him calm back down. 

I began telling my story to them all as I looked around the table, “Now on your seventeenth birthday 

we all know wolves can find their mates. I was walking and I caught his scent. I was so confused but it was only faint. Not as strong of a smell as you I just felt drawn to him, like the pull of a magnet. I came across him training in a field and he turned to me. I guess he caught my scent too but when our eyes locked and he whispered mate he was confused then very angry. He rejected me and forced me to accept the rejection.” I looked around the table. Pity was held in Claire’s eyes, Josh was confused and angry, but my mate, he was boiling.

He took a slow and deep breath and looked at me, “Fine, but he is obviously not ready to take over the pack and the approval will be denied at his ceremony.” He growled. “He’s going to know what it’s like to be humiliated in front of everyone. Everyone will know that you are now my mate and was his. Not that it matters because if you were mated to him and I found you, I would have challenged him for you.”
