Episode 1
I watched in horror as they took my father to the edge of the forest, stripping him of his title and all of his belongings. They look to me as I hang back, disowning my father as the traitor he truly is but it does not make this hurt any less. He plotted to murder the Alpha and his family so he could take their place, him their Beta, their most trusted had betrayed them, and I am the one who turned him in. My name is Skylar Avery and my father was Beta Avery, we are part of the Black moon pack and treated very well. Everything I could have ever wanted growing up I received, when my mother died my father was distraught, he thought the alpha had conspired to kill her and our entire family. I was 8 that was 10 years ago next week on my birthday. Ever since that day he was hell bent on revenge, and ever since the day I turned him in I was marked as the traitors daughter and stripped of my titles as well except I was allowed to stay in the pack and forced to become a slave practically.
Every day since then has been the same, my alarm goes off at quarter to 5 and I get ready. I start out in the kitchen making the pack house breakfast, I have to start early or I will never get it done in time for everyone to eat. I have to feed 150 people by 7:30. I always make eggs and bacon or sausage sometimes both if we have the supplies. I will do those last since they will take less time. I then make pancakes and waffles, cut up some fresh fruit and make coffee and orange juice. Set the table and clean the kitchen while they eat before cleaning the dining hall. I thankfully do have some help a few omegas who help clean up and get the rooms started while everyone is eating. However they are not friends. They only help because that is their duty to the pack, to clean up after them and be at use for the higher born if you know what I mean. After breakfast I run to my small broom closet of a room and tidy up myself before going to the Alphas room for cleaning, I take a glance at myself in the mirror and see my waist length red curly hair thrown up in a messy bun, my freckles mixed with dirt on my face and my piercing blue eyes staring back at me. It was rare to be born with red hair and the blue eye combo, something that the moongodess blessed on very few werewolves with this combo. It usually meant that we were born for a higher purpose. I shrug the thought off and head to the room. I knock on the door waiting for an answer before going in.
"Enter." I here the alphas voice come through the door. Alpha Jeramiah was sitting at his little desk in the room when I came in.
"Im sorry sir I thought you would be in your office, I can come back at another time?" I stated never making eye contact.
"No its fine, I am just finishing up. Make sure to wipe everything down and restock. Luna Rebeka was not very happy with the last time you cleaned and you know how she is." He gets up and heads for the door, I keep my head bowed until he leaves and then I get started.
I never miss a spot when cleaning, so I know Rebeka was simply just being mean to be mean. She has always hated me and I believe that because of my mother. She had Alpha Jermaiah's heart first but when my mom was found to be mated to my father, he settled for Rebeka. They weren't mates, but after a heartbreaking one-night stand with her she became pregnant and he made her his chosen mate. They had two children, Maze, who makes my life a living hell every day. She purposely ruins things, making my job harder, or she complains about the food when I know its perfect. Alexander or Alex, who was a close friend when I was younger, he was who I confided in about my father. We barely know each other now. At one point I really thought he would be my mate, but when he turned 18 he said he didn't want me and if I turned out ot be his mate he would reject me right away.
I finished the rooms required and went down to start on dinner. I walked in on the omegas talking about me which is a usual occurrence. I simply ignored them and went about my work, when I heard the click of heels heading down the stairs. I knew immediately it was Maze and turned around bowing my head as she walked in. Her shoulder-length blonde hair curled to perfection like always and her face caked with makeup trying to hide that she truly is ugly on the inside. She stopped right in front of me and delivered a smack across my cheek. I whimpered in shock.
"I hated breakfast, and I know dinner isn't going to be much better. I honestly don't know why mother and father kept you around, you are a waste of space and good at nothing! you cant even clean my room right!" Another slapped deliverd. I didn't even have time to tell her I wasn't the one who cleaned her room. It was the damn omegas. I bit my tongue and waited as she eft the kitchen and then got started on the meal.
I finished the meal and clean up by the time everything was done it was past midnight, I crawled to my room with the small scapes I saved from dinner and ate them while I looked at my clock. As of now I am officially 18, I should be able to feel my mate, but that is the last thing on my mind, I want to leave. I have always planned on it, I don't know where but I needed to leave. I was skin and bones and wasting away. Turning 18 means I can shift, I can finally meet my wolf, i just hope she is strong enough to get us out of here. I quietly make my way to the outskirts of the forest by the river with my change of clothes. I tried to get as far away as I could because I know this first shift will be painful and I did not want to risk anyone hearing me, look down into the flowing river and see how dirty I am and strip so I am atleast clean for this. I walk slowly into the river and embrace the cold water that touches my skin. looking up at the moon as I do so, praying to the moon goddess to help me. I suddenly hear a branch snap behind me and swiftly turn to see Alex standing there, the most sweet smell hitting me, like vanilla and embers. I looked at his face and its twisted in disgust and I realized what this meant.
"You, I should have known the Moon Goddess would be so cruel as to give me you, a traitor." I looked in his eyes and saw nothing, no glimmer of the friend he once was. "Well, I told you once what would happen if it came down to this. I, Alexander black, of the Black Moon pack, Reject you Skylar Avery as my mate and future Luna." A searing pain rips through my whole body as I let out a scream, looking up and seeing that this is barely effecting him. I gathered all the strength in my body and looked him dead in his eyes.
"I, Skylar Avery, Accept your rejection, and hope to never see you again." Tears fell down my face as I stared at him, the slightest bit of shock in his eyes like he wasn't expecting me to accept it and beg for him. He backhands me so hard I taste the blood in my mouth and he continues to hit me. I see the blood in the river washing away as he leaves me on the bank to either die or crawl back.
I lay there looking at the moon begging her, why, would she be so cruel to me, why would she left me here like this to die when a small voice is heard in my head.
"She has not abandoned us, she has only made the path for us more clear now. I'm Rose your wolf, trust me, empty your mind and let me take over." I do as she says and am met with even more pain as my bones break and bend to shape.
I open my eyes and I feel taller. I look down and see pure white fur so white it looks reflective, I look to the water at my reflection and see my eyes, the bright electric blue eyes staring back, with a wolfs face. I am shocked.
"Now, let's run, as far as our legs can take us and never look back."
