Hidden Secrets

Chapter2: Stella Whitewater

Stella's POV

No matter how many times humans deny magic exists I drink a magical potion that brings me back to life... COFFEE. You could call me an addict, or a basic white b***h, I don't care but coffee is my lifeline.

I giggled to myself as I sipped my coffee. My name is Stella Whitewater I’m your basic b***h of 5”5’ and long brown hair, but I have Heterochromia which means I have different colored eyes; one blue and another green. And because of my absolute habit of food I have a very curvy body which I'm very proud of.

I'm only 18 years old my only style is jeans, t-shirt and hoodie. Nothing fancy and I'm a senior in high school, which I can't wait to get out of this hell of a town. I live with my adoptive parents and with my step sister, Eva, and stepbrother, Mark. We are a Beta Family so they are at the top of the food chain along with the Alpha, and yes they are a werewolf family but me I'm not, at least to their eyes or noses.

Now, this is where it gets weird, I am in fact a werewolf but only half werewolf I can hide my scent from everyone making me smell human. In reality, the other half is a secret even to me. My mother taught me to hide my scent as there would be many people to kill me, but I guess whoever they are, they found her first.

Anyway, enough about my backstory lets focus on the present. I continued down the street to school drinking my coffee, and surprisingly everything was going good... too good.

So I'm not the only one feeling weirded out by this right?

Oh no, you're not only one

What do you think? Sneak attack?

Oh goddess I hope not, I don't think I can handle holding myself back again.

That is my wolf River, she is my best friend and only friend really. I don't trust a lot of people. I like the walls that I hide behind. If I don't let anyone in then there is zero chance that I'll get hurt, right? I mean that was all I could remember my mother teaching me... or telling me really.

One second I’m in my own little world and the next I feel my coffee get ripped from my hands and by the time I look up to see Mark I feel a hot liquid running down my back, almost burning. Then to top it off I feel my feet sweep from right from underneath me. Causing me to land right on my ass, that is going to bruise tomorrow.

"OUCH! what the f**k Mark?!" I yelled, Looking up at Mark and his usual gang members, which were the Alphas' son, Ron and their Gamma, John.

"Oh, did the orphan child fall down?" John said, imitating a baby cry

"Stay on the ground if you know what's best for you? oh and you forgot to clean the kitchen this morning so dad is pissed," I hear Eva whisper into my ear only to whack the back of my head with her books.

"You know I heard someone talking about how their dogs lick the dishes soo clean that they don’t even need to put them in the dishwasher,” I said, slowly picking myself up off the floor. I look up smirking at them, “Maybe you and Eva should try it,”

So tell me again why we take this s**t again, I mean we just …

No… You remember all of moms warnings, we only have one more year of this and then we are out, don’t worry it’s not

Yeah, but...

No buts graduation is so close and we've already hidden ourselves this long, we can last a little longer

I ignore them as I push past them out of the corner of my eyes I see Eva and Mark go red with anger. I head toward my locker to pull out another shirt and head to the bathroom. Looking back at the ‘gang’ I blow them a kiss and walk away. As I walk through the door I hear the bell ring. GREAT not only did I lose my coffee I'm going to miss my first class.

I know, I know what you are thinking, why not beat them up if I have the same strength they do, but you know I don't really want to risk it as my mother warned me every day and she is longer with me I don’t really want to play with destiny.

My high school is made up of mainly werewolves and humans as the school was built on a werewolf territory. My adoptive family as I said before is betas so they rule next to the luna and alpha of the pack. Their pack's name is called the Blood Howlers. They are the 4th largest pack in the US, but that isn’t really anything special as I’ve seen who the future Alpha and Beta are. The Largest pack in the world is the head of the council, called The Windcrest Nighwalkers, which from what I gathered is greatly feared and very powerful. The alpha of Nightcrest sits at the head of the council and runs all types of creatures to make sure that all magical related things are kept secret and in order. Controlling that and the largest pack I would fear they too I guess.

When I finished cleaning the coffee off and putting on my other shirt I rushed back to my locked and ran into my first class.

"Do I even want to know why you are late Ms. Whitewater?"

"Do you want to continue the lesson or hear me talk?"

She only rolled her eyes at me and turned around to the whiteboard to continue the lesson. I was just thankful my sarcastic loudmouth didn't land me detention again. I guess today is going to be good even if it was a rough start.
