The Unknown.

Ayla_

When I was younger, my life used to be so much better. Maybe it was because I actually had friends. Or the fact that I wasn't getting bullied or even laughed at. Everyone liked me and no one hated me yet. I was a normal little girl with a stupid dream of becoming a photographer. I liked animals and I would paint with my hands. I would laugh and chase my brother with sharp scissors around the house. Everything was just normal and simple. At least the most normal you get with being a werewolf.

Now everything was anything but simple. I was supposed to shift when I was 8, but I didn't. Now I'm just some werewolf who lacks the werewolf traits. I'm no different than a human, everyone knows that. Maybe that's why everyone stopped treating me like s**t and decided on just negating my mere existence. Even my parents do.

Since my father is the highest ranking warrior and the most powerful in strength for a warrior, he usually spends all day serving the alpha or beta. If not, he's almost always training other warriors, including my brother Liam. My mother, on the other hand, has no excuses. She is nothing more than the pack caretaker. All she does is take care of pack members' pups from time to time and prepare food for the pack in the afternoon.

"Ayla!" I heard my name suddenly get yelled.

I turned around in my seat to see who had just yelled my name. Believe it or not, not a lot of people do. I had just come into my favorite coffee shop to work on some homework I had due and maybe edit some pictures I took last week. I usually spend my time on schoolwork and studying. It wouldn't benefit me doing anything, seeing as I wasn't going to be a warrior wolf like my brother and I wasn't going to be a maid or clean up after some asswhole who thought women were lower than them. So the best thing I could do was take into control my future and see if I could just be a normal human girl with an amazing career.

As soon as I turned to see the person who had yelled my name, I saw a pretty looking girl with long ginger hair fling around wildly as she ran towards me. Who was that? And how did she know my name? I swear I didn't know her. I don't even think I have ever seen her. If I did, I would be sure to remember someone with such amazing-looking hair.

As soon as she took a seat across from me she looked out of breath, probably from running all the way to my table. I was beyond confused. How did this girl know me? She was so outside of the type of people I usually talked to. I wouldn't even be able to speak to someone like her. Even if I did know her, which I did't, I would never dare to speak a word to her. She was so pretty and just drop dead gorgeous. She was the type to intimate me to no end.

" I'm glad I caught you just in time before you left again" She suddenly said after taking a sip out of my strawberry lemonade. Oddly enough, I didn't care much. I was one to make a fuse over people touching my food or even stealing bits of my food, but not right now. She had taken a sip, a total hot looking stranger took a sip out of my drink and I didn't care at all. I guess looks do take you places.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound rude, but do I know you?" I asked. I surprised myself when the words came out. I wasn't one to be too blunt or even talk to people in general that I didn't know. My anxiety takes too much control over me most of the time, limiting my social skills.

" Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. silly me" She said, giggling, which I found oddly familiar. Something about her laugh reminded me of someone or rather a memory or dream I used to get a lot as a child. It was weird, but I decided on getting an answer at the moment so I shrugged it off.

" My name is Blair. Blair Reign....I'm in your artistic class." She said when she saw that I didn't know who she was. Unfortunately, I still had no idea who she was. Only that she went to my school, meaning she was human. Halfway through my 7th grade year, my parents switched me to a human school since I showed no signs of any werewolf traits. According to my mother, our alpha himself recommended it, since if I continued to attend, there would be a possibility that I would get hurt.

" Okay...."I said, trying not to make be too awkward. At this point, I had already finished all of my school and it would be when I would usually go home or take some pictures if I had nothing else to do. But I was busy at the moment so I didn't think I would get to that part of my day today.

"This is getting a bit awkward isn't it?" She said, which confused me even more. What was she doing here talking to me? I was a nobody, even in the human world.

"I'm sorry, but what are you doing here? Talking to me" I said, confusion present on my face and voice.

" I honestly don't know, I've seen you a lot in here doing homework and stuff and you seemed pretty chill. I don't know about you, but compared to the rest of the people I met in that horrid school, you are by far the most calm and normal looking."

"Me? normal? Wow, I never heard that one before." I said, laughing.

" It's far from a lie. You just seem put together. Like the kind of person to have everything planned out but at the same time go with the flow. I don't know...your present is just calming, if that makes sense. " She suddenly said, blushing, which I found rather cute.

" Would you like my number, you know, just in case. You seem pretty calming too." I said, referring to what she had previously said about me, making both her and I laugh. At that moment, I forgot about everything. My worries, my problems, the fact that my pack hated my guts. Everything. because, for once, I had finally been able to make a friend.

" For sure! Here, let me give you mine" she said, pulling out hers and giving it to me. I gave her my phone and while she put her number on it, I did the same. After that, we ordered some food and talked for a while longer until it was getting dark. Later, she offered to drive me home and we both said goodbye for the night.

I honestly thought it was a pretty good day. I made a friend, we both got along incredibly and I got her number. When I got home, none of my parents were home and neither was my brother, which was disappointing. If I had stayed, would anyone even notice that I was gone? But I shrugged that thought off. I was too tired to think about questions I already knew the answers to.

And as I slipped under the covers and dreams overtook me, only one thought filled my mind. Everything is going to be okay. I know it. And as my last thought filed out, my eyes closed and soon enough I was falling into an endless world of dreams.

Hi there so I'm so sorry that I updated until chapter four and never updated for almost a year now. I honestly never thought anyone would read this. Right now, re-reading, I feel like it was too cringey to read. But anyway, I was going through a personal issue back then, so I stopped for a while and I was planning on coming back to this but I forgot about it and then stopped writing completely. So I'm so sorry. I'm currently looking into trying to write more, so I will be publishing more as soon as I edit the chapters that I have published already. I'm re-writing them because I feel like the writing is too childish and just overall the plot is not too well thought out. So I will re-write everything published and I will be keeping the main idea but just adding things here and there to make it better. Also, the only reason I'm getting back to writing is because I checked if anyone commented anything and some of you guys did, which made me want to continue it. So, just so you know, if you comment there is a possibility that it will, motivate me to write more and faster. But anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this new and more updated version of chapter one. At the end of the chapter I will let you know if it has not been edited or not. I recommend not reading it until it's edited though, because honestly you won't understand and it's just really poorly written anyway.

Have a good day lovely people, and remember to drink lots of water.
