CHAPTER TWO
1304 Words
I don't know how long went by until I ran back to the house and cried for hours until I fell asleep.
The next thing I knew when I woke up, I was in pain from the final step of the rejection, claiming another. I ran out into the woods and let my wolf come out to howl in pain.
When I got back in the morning, I saw my phone with many text messages from my parents and friends. I quickly wrote down my letters, left them on the desk, and ran to the border before anyone could catch up with me.
I couldn't stay here anymore and watch my ex-mate declare his new mate and crown her as Luna.
Once I got to the border, I said "I Dahlia Reed, broke my bond with the Dark-sun pack."
After that, I ran into the forest, stopped and looked back once, and thought "Sorry Mom and Dad for not being good enough".
Without a second thought, I ran forward into the darkness with only the sound of the wind hitting the tree as my company.
2 years later
Beads of sweat were running down my face as I trained with the warriors. I looked my opponent in the eye and dodged his punch while throwing my own.
Once he was on the ground, I pounced on him and threw repeated punches into his face until he tapped out.
"Cover your face more, that is the most important thing to cover," I said, helping him up.
"Yes, Beta Reed," he replied to me.
"Training is over, everyone goes to take a shower and get ready for dinner.
Tomorrow we will be training with our wolves", I announced to the pack warriors.
As the beta of the pack, I was in charge of training the warriors in our pack.
After I left Dark-Sun I ran as far as I could until I accidentally stumbled into the pack ground of a different pack.
The Reamun pack was known for its trained warriors who aided packs against rogues. We were called to packs to help out if there was any kind of threat or invasion.
We were the most powerful pack in the world and were led by Alpha Ville, who also happened to be my best friend.
When I ran from my pack I was weak and was not able to defend myself until Harry found me on the forest floor on the border of his pack. He had lost his parents when he was young and had to take the alpha position when he was fifteen, so he didn't have a childhood. He brought me and trained and took me in like I was his little sister. I gained power after five months of training and battled the previous beta for his position and won.
I walked to the pack house where all the higher-position werewolves in the pack lived. I walked up the stairs to my room and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
As the drops of water rolled down my body, I scrubbed all the dirt that had collected when I trained.
Over the past two years, I have come far in my skills to defend myself. Weak. I was called that by my ex-mate, but not anymore. I was powerful and strong, and I will rain hell if you mess with me. I got out of the shower, dried my body off and put on my clothes.
I walked to the dining hall for dinner, but before I went to the hall I went to get the workaholic alpha friend of mine. I went up to his office and smiled devilishly at my plan to get him out.
BANG BANG BANG
I slammed my hands against the door, knocking as loudly as I could.
"Get out here bro, I am hungry," I said, "Shut up already, I am coming," he said as he walked towards the door opening it.
"Finally, I have been training all day. I am starving" I said.
Harry looked at me distastefully and said,
"Whatever, let's just go get food since you interrupted me."
We walked to the hall and sat down with the rest of the wolves, Harry at the head of the table and me next to him. We all chatted as we ate our dinner with most of the pack in the dining hall. I have never seen a pack so close and bonded with each other. In my old pack, we eat our meals at our own house instead of together as a pack.
The alpha, beta, and gamma are always seated near the head of the table. Luke is our gamma with his pregnant mate, who is the gamma female Adora..
After dinner, I went back into my room to go to sleep since we had a long day of training the next day. I went to brush my teeth in the bathroom and do my night routine when I saw myself in the mirror. It has been a hard journey for me to see myself as someone who has worth and is enough.
Although I have changed, I now have tattoos, multiple piercings, and have dyed my hair blonde.
I smirked at myself about how I was no longer the timid, weak girl, but now, I was replaced by someone stronger and much more badass that doesn't allow anyone to take her for granted.
The next morning, I went on my daily jog and joined the pack warriors for training after breakfast.
"Today we are training with our wolves. We will first find out how to shift the fastest when in a fight", I announced to the wolves.
We trained throughout the day. Many people looked down upon me because I was a she-wolf and "girls can't fight". I hate that we can be as powerful or even more than men and whenever I come upon a sexist, I always rectify their belief.
My favorite memory is the old alpha we aided a few months ago from Rogue Wolves.
"Why is your beta a woman, Alpha Ville," Alpha Ryder asked. Before Harry could answer, I stepped in and asked "Why can't I be a beta, is it because I am a girl and can't fight? Before you go around assuming s**t maybe work on protecting your pack instead of being an overgrown sexist pig, Alpha Ryder" I said mockingly.
Without a second thought, I walked away from his sexist pig-face.
"COME TO MY OFFICE," Harry said in the mind link taking me away from my thoughts.
"OK," I replied to him.
I walked to the main office and when I arrived I already saw Harry, Luke, and Ethan inside.
Ethan is the head pack warrior who helps me with training.
"Hey guys', I said in greeting, "What's going on?" I asked.
"A pack needs our help against some rogue wolves that are killing some of their pack members", Harry responded.
"How many are dead and are there any connections between the dead members?" I questioned.
"Eleven are dead and there is no connection between any, so it is just a killing for fun with these rogues", Harry replied to me.
"Ok. Who is going to the pack to take care of this?" I questioned.
"You, Ethan, and some hand-picked warriors. And as for the Wolves Conference, you will meet me there with Ethan and their high ranking packs."
"All right. Which pack is this again?" I questioned.
Harry looked at me sheepishly while the other guys looked at the ceiling and wall like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
"Which pack?" I questioned again, getting impatient.
"Promise you won't freak out, Dahlia" Harry asked cautiously.
"Just tell me which pack" I replied, annoyed.
"Dark-sun," Luke said.
OMG!!
