Rejected Mate

''Wake up and get to work immediately you lazy b***h, " Steph yelled while kicking Ava. Ava groaned with pain and sat up on the thin mattress which had been placed on the bare hard ground. Steph slapped her face and pulled her hair aggressively. "One of this days I'm going to kill you," he growled at her. " Oh why don't you do that already you sloppy jerk,". Ava murmured and earned yet another kick on her abdomen. Steph felt satisfied and exited the small attic which was Ava's room. Ava stood up clutching her stomach and went to wash her face. She examined her body on the cracked mirror. She had scars and bruises all over her thin and fragile body. She was simply a punching bag to the Snow moon pack. In reality she was the Alpha of Golden Stone pack's only daughter but her pack had been completely wiped out by the Snow moon pack. At that time she was just 2 years old and so she wasn't killed but brought up in the servants quarters of the Snow moon's pack as she was to become one herself. She was going to turn 18 the day after tomorrow. After turning 18 she would be able to shift into her wolf as well as discover her mate. Werewolves had the blessing of the moon goddess to discover their mates at the age of 18. Their mates would love and protect them for the rest of their lives. However if the mate refuses to accept the bond, the one rejected would suffer from heartbreak as well as physical pain each time their other half would do something s****l with another person.
