Rejected but Special

Chapter One

“b***h”

“Fat slut”

“Ugly”

“w***e”

These were the words said to me by my pack members; my called family and pack members, but if you look at it, the word “fat” or “slut” doesn’t even relate because how can someone who eats once a day be fat , so “how the living hell am I fat?” I ask myself everyday.

My pack members once loved me but when i turned 13, I was meant to change into a wolf and I didn’t all their love turned to hatred, they turned on me, looked at me with scorn, the worst was the Alpha’s son Chase, soon to be Alpha, he sometimes hits me, punishes me for no good reason or locks me up in the when his dad is away.

“Hayley, come down this instant” Luke, the delta [third in command] yelled.

Quickly I got up from the bed, and ran downstairs, I had no idea it was already late, on getting to where he was the first thing I received was a hard slap on my face and I fell, I looked up to see Luke and his twin Lucas, standing there with a frown on his face like he wanted to be anywhere but here.

Luke and Lucas are my brothers, older ones to be precise, but the only people who are good and nice to me are Lucas [in some cases] and kacey, my best friend, when I am being hit they can’t say anything as Chase would punish them badly so they just watch and then console me at the end of the day when no one is watching.

“How many f*****g times do I have to tell you to prepare breakfast before dawn?” he asked walking slowly towards me, I thought he was going to hit me again but instead he kicked me in the chest, should have a few broken ones ribs now.

“I am sorry, I will get to it now” I managed to speak

When I finished I grabbed my bag and left for another s**t hole called school.

I got there and sae my best friend, or should I say my only friend Kacey, waiting for me outside

“Hey biatch” Kacey shoulder bumped me

“Hey” I replied, I know from my voice she had an idea of what possibly happened before coming to school, it was always like that she always wished for my happiness.

“I know its hard but wouldn’t it be better if we just left this place?”

“i don’t know K, maybe something will change soon I can just feel it”

“Nothing is going to change Hay, can’t you see that? Even when the Alpha and Luna returns, nothing is going to change, so put yourself together and let’s start thinking of a way out of this place because if you are going anywhere, I am going with. You got that?”

“Yes ma’am” I replied while smiling at my only friend and we both went to class.

* * *

I got home early to prepare dinner, took the little that was left to eat and headed upstairs to my room,

away from everyone.

“Time is near” A feminine voice spoke

“Who’s there?” I asked frighteningly looking around and picking up a bat found by the corner

“I am your wolf” the voice said again

“Wolf? What wolf? I don’t have a wolf, I swear it if this is a prank, when I find you I won’t hesitate to f**k you up” I held the bat tight to my chest ready to swing at any time

“I am in your head dufus” the voice said again sarcastically, that’s when I realized that the voice was really coming from my head, I visibly relaxed and dropped the bat, I sat crossed legs to see what was going on in my head just as my mum taught me but something blocked me.

“What is happening, why can’t I see you?” I asked confused

“There is a seal on you that is why you cannot see me”

“So why now, why did it take you so long to reach out to me”

“I couldn’t reach out because it was not the right time”

“Now is the right time huh?” Now I was plainly being sarcastic

“Actually not now, but soon, very soon, I can feel the seal weakening”

I sighed “this is unbelievable, who knew I actually had a wolf” I was excited but then it dawned on me “What now? How long more am I expected to wait?”

“Well… When the time comes for the transformation, we would feel it and I would let you

know”

“So… Uhm, do you have a name or something?” I have never been one to name a thing normally I always end up giving them silly names, I had a doll once, when I was a little girl and gave it lipsy because the dolls lips were a bit bigger than normal, Kacey used it to mock my for a very long time.

“Artella” Artella sighed as she had watched that scene but couldn’t protest or speak her opinion because wolves only manifest when the human is 13 years of age, although she was born with this human she has been sealed up since her birth which gave her the opportunity to view this humans life but along the way she grew pity and attached to her.

“Okay Artella, my name is…”

“Of course, I know your name, I am part of you, remember? wouldn’t it be weird if I didn’t know your name… You really aren’t that smart are you?” Artella retorted, I could feel that she was shaking her head and I rolled my eyes at her sarcasm

* * *

I woke up to the sound of my alarm and saw it was 3 in the morning, quickly I got up, ran downstairs to prepare breakfast so I wouldn’t have to face punishment again today, I suddenly paused for a moment and noticed that there was something off about today but I just couldn’t wrap my head around it, probably something is going to happen or its already happening.

“It’s your birthday i***t” Artella spoke in my head

“Ohhh, I forgot” I truly did forget

“You really are an i***t”

“At this is point, I think throwing shade at me has become part of your daily routine” I told Artella as I finished my daily routine and headed for school.

“Hey Kacey” I waved to my best friend as I got to school, she was waiting at our usual spot

“Hey girl, Happy Birthday,” She squealed hugging me “So… Are you ready to meet your mate today? I mean if you don’t want to meet him I totally get it because this pack is full of crazy wackjobs”

“Yes I have to, I can’t run forever, can I?”

“Yeah you can’t, I mean it can be anyone, what if it’s that douchebag, you know he hasn’t found his mate yet?”

“Ugh, I don’t even think about him right now, but even if he is…” I paused “He is supposed to

love me no matter what right? I mean it’s the mate bond, you can’t fight it”

I tried to be optimistic about this whole mate thing, but from the look on Kacey’s face I was doing a pretty bad job at it.

“I doubt if he knows anything about the word or even know how it feels” She spoke with a raised brow

“Yeah right” I laughed mockingly at our conversation as we walked down the hallways towards our lockers and that’s when I caught the most amazing scent I have ever smelled. It smelled like coconut and something else I couldn’t quite put a name on.

Immediately like a rising wave pushing me to my destiny I left Kacey behind and followed the scent, it led me to an empty classroom, I paused fixing my hair and making sure that I looked presentable enough, I have never felt nervous before but now a series of ‘what ifs’ where going through my head but I pushed it back, hardening my resolve and I pushed open the door walking into the classroom but I was met with the most heartbreaking scene that I has ever witnessed in my life.

A gasp was all I could let out as I watched my mate tangled up with someone else.
