chapter 1
RJ
Another day, another torture. I sighed as I woke up. I took a quick bath and dressed up. I'm the alpha's son. I have 5 other siblings. Out of the six, I'm the different one. I'm the one without friends. The one pack members hate. The one who's bullied. I never show up for breakfast nor dinner. Not like they'd care. I snuck off through the back door. I requested my room to be in the basement. The basement room has a back door for emergency purposes. It's still too early for school, so I went to a liquor shop. The owner of the shop is an old werewolf from the pack, so I can pretty much order him to give me drinks and not tell anyone about it. I pay for the drinks though. I got four bottles of vodka and two bottles of tequila. I'm pretty much sure I need an escape by the end of the day. Drinking isn't my only escape, I cut. It leaves scars because it's custom-made with silver. Again, I asked one of our pack members to do it, so no one knows except for that guy! I cut on my wrist and during training I cover it with sweat bands. If I run out of space, I cut in my thighs. My phone rang and I saw it was my mom.
"What mom?" I asked.
"That is no way to talk to me mister. I know you've been stressed lately with school" She said.
Oh. You have no idea.
"So if you want, I am allowing you to visit Nate's pack. Just to get your mind of things you know?" She said.
"Sure. I'll go. Can I go now or later?"
"Preferably after school" She replied.
"Kay", I said.
"Bye dear. Love you"
"Love you too mom" And with that I ended the call.
I can't wait to go to my uncle Nate's pack. I was actually talking to him about letting me join his pack. Of course my parents doesn't know yet. His pack is more a pack to me than my pack ever was.
"Oh, the faggot has arrived." Marcus said. His friends laughed.
I just walked away trying to ignore his words. Since he started bullying me, my wolf has left me. Probably because of all the silver in my system.
"What's the rush? Your make up not good enough to face us?" My brother , Tyler, said.
Tyler is the next in line for being alpha. James is the next beta. Marcus is the next third in command. Their circle of friends consists of the three of them plus a couple of pack warriors' sons. Again I ignored them and just walked away. I was shoved into a locker. I didn't wince in pain since I'm already used to it. Cutting and drinking as well. It's a habit that by the end of the day, I cut and drink. School is the usual. Getting teased and bullied every period. Eating alone for lunch. Getting shoved on the lockers. Finally, this day is over! I get my liquor, I kept it in my locker, and shoved it in my bag. Fun fact, most of the teachers here are from our pack! I ran home. Once I got home I ran to my room and packed my stuff. I can finally be free!
"Where are you going?" Marcus asked, leaning against the door frame.
"Uncle Nate's house" I replied nonchalantly.
Thinking he left, I took out one bottle of vodka, then drank it all in one chug.
"You're underage" A voice says startling me. Almost causing me to spit some out. Almost.
I swallowed the remaining vodka in my mouth then turned. I was ready to order the person not to tell my parents. Marcus.
"So? You act like you haven't drunk before!" I defended.
"Actually, we've only had shots. Not enough to even fill that bottle" He said nodding over the now empty bottle.
I shrugged and continued packing.
"I'll have to tell the alpha you know" He said making me freeze.
"I never tell on you guys, but you tell on me? Where's the fairness in that?" I retorted.
"I don't care if you tell on me. You're slowly killing yourself and possibly your wolf as well."
He said.
Too late.
"What?" He said darkly.
"What what?" Now I'm confused.
"You said 'too late', what does that mean?" He asked. He's walking slow towards me.
"Uhm, I don't know. I need to pack! Bye!" I said faking my ignorance.
"Is your wolf still in you?" He asked moving closer.I instinctively moved back.
"Maybe. I dunno. Haven't talked to it", I said casually.
"Can you even shift?" He asked.
Oh. No. There will be new names for me if I tell the truth.
"Duh" I said.
"Can you or can you not?" He asked.
"I can!" I lied.
"You're lying" He said, coming closer to me.
I moved back once more only to feel the wall against my back. He smirked.
"I'm still telling your parents. And also about losing your wolf" He said then casually walked out.
I packed my bag in two minutes then shouted "I'M OFF TO UNCLE NATE'S"
"Wait!" I hear my dad's voice calling. I rushed through the door and went to my motorcycle.
Not bothering to wear my helmet, I drove off.
'Come back here now!' My dad's voice boomed in our mind link.
'It can't be that important. I'm near Uncle Nate's territory!' I replied then cut off our mind link.
"RJ?" a voice called once I reached my uncle Nate's land.
I looked for the voice and saw Adam.
"Adam! " I exclaimed hugging him.
"Thought you'll never visit again", He said.
"I can't not visit the pack I'm planning to join." I said smirking. He smiled widely.
"You're always welcome here!" He said. I got on my motorcycle again.
"Wait. Let me drive", Adam suggested. I nodded.
I went down and he took my place. I sat behind him. I hugged him and felt his muscles. Just so, you know, Adam is bi. We have this 'thing' but we're not official. Am I hoping to be official with him? Hell yeah. His mate died last year. Though time for him. We met when we were both buying drugs from this guy. We stopped little by little since we got to know each other. He knows about my cutting and drinking. He knows everything. Uncle Nate and Uncle Warren was waiting for me outside the pack house. Uh-oh. Mom and dad probably told them.
"We heard" Uncle Nate said the moment I got off my motorcycle. i closed my eyes and groaned in frustration.
"We are taking it", Uncle Warren said.
"But I paid for those!" I defended as he opened my bag.
"Maybe you should've used your money to watch a movie rather than to buy a drink", Uncle Warren said sternly.
I huffed, then went to my usual room without another word being said. Adam hot on my trail.
"I thought you said you'll stop", Adam said in disbelief.
"I said I'll try", I defended.
"Show me your wrists", He said sternly.
"No" I said.
"Show. Me."
I knew I'd lose, so I pulled my sleeves up.
"Roman Jonah Weis!" He exclaimed.
"So full name huh?" I asked rhetorically.
Uncle Nate and uncle Warren came after a few minutes. That bastard called them! I changed my mind I don't want to be official with Adam anymore. I quickly flipped my wrist so the scars were facing my thighs, hidden from view. The I casually pulled down my sleeves which was stopped by my uncle Warren holding my arm. Wincing as he was holding a new cut. He flipped it over and my uncle Nate, and he growled. Uh-oh, I am in so much trouble.
