Genelle I feel like no one sees me, I’m just this invisible girl in the wolf society. My pack is Sacred Moon in the North & I am just a maid for the palace, I cook & clean all day and return home to help my mother take care of my siblings. I’m almost 18 now & will soon be free to go see the world and pursue my own dreams, this place has no future for me, my mother was lost after my father died and drinks herself away, her mate is gone but her children are here and I raise them more than she does, I wish to save them from seeing her like this but I need to have my own life once I’m 18. Every day is the same, but soon I’ll have enough saved up to go to the southern packs and explore the islands. I get ready to sleep & imagine running through far away in my wolf form, dashing through forests and places I’ve never been. What will my future hold? I wonder as I slowly drift off to sleep. Keana (Genelle’s mom.) It’s almost time for Genelle to be home, where is she? I sigh annoyingly. Nowadays, I have no patience for her being late or to take care of my other children. I wish I could run away from them, seeing them only reminds me of my lost mate, Mishka. I pour another drink and go lie down in my bed, an all too familiar pattern since he died. It’s strong and bitter but it dulls the pain enough for me to tolerate these children. Finally I hear the door open and shout at her from the room “Check on your siblings and make dinner!” She’s a good kid, but I don’t want anything to do with it anymore, at least she’s old enough to work in the palace now and take care of the kids. The drink lulls me to sleep & I almost hear Mishka’s voice every time I start to rest, I miss you my love.
