The Wolf Spirit

Saying Goodbye

*Stormy POV*

I watched as the eyes of my parents and Jacob's parents looked in horror at the situation. "What the hell is going on here?" I could hear my father roar out. Lora jolted at his voice and looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Father, my mate is in pain, and it's all because of her," she said as she pointed at me. My father stomped towards me and laid a smack across my face. The smack shocked everyone in the room. The pain that I felt for Jacob stopped after that. I held onto my face, looking in horror at my father, who was fuming with anger. Tisha lifted Jacob, who also didn't seem to be hurting anymore, and hugged him.

"My son, are you OK," she said as she looked at him.

"Yes, Mother, I am fine," he said as he looked at me with sadness.

Lora spoke up and said, "My mate and I were finishing our bond when Stormy came and hit him over the head. I don't know why she did that all of a sudden," she looked over at her mother, who understood exactly what happened. Before I could even speak a word. Lorraine cut me off.

"After all we did for you, here you go and try to steal your dear sister, our future Luna's mate. Not only that, you dare to harm our future Alpha." She pulled my father towards her. "My love, this can't go unnoticed. She has been a rebel child since the death of my beloved sister. My love, she must be punished." His anger grew and, as she finished, his words flew out without a single hesitation.

"I Alpha Steven Weatherly of the Red Stone Pack here reject you as a member of the Red Stone Pack and as my daughter." His words were like lemon and salt sprayed over my wounds. I could feel every bond breaking with every member. I could hear the whimpers of each member as it passed to the next. I then watched as The Betas felt it, and then as my parents felt it. Lora didn't make a sound, but I could see in her eyes the disconnection it had. When my eyes met Jacob's, I heard a soft voice whisper, "I'm sorry." Before even Jacob whimpered. The pain of hearing his whimper hurt the worst. I truly was rejected by my mate, my family, and my pack. No one loved me. I felt numb as I sat there. I didn't hear anyone speak even though I saw their mouths moving. Jacob's eyes filled with tears at the sight of me before he was pulled away by Lora and his parents.

My father must have called his Omega to handle me. All I knew was I was carried out of the room, out of the house and thrown into the woods. I had nothing but clothes on my back. The Omega just walked away without even saying a word. I looked around, trying to see where I was. To my surprise, I was near the cave, which wasn't far from the borders of Red Stone and Flower Stone. I used all my strength to fumble my way to the entrance. Just like before, I fell into the cave entrance. I gasped as I hit the ground. Moaned as I tried to get up, but the pain from today's event left me paralyzed. I lay there waiting for sleep to take me. I prayed that I didn't wake from this horrible dream. I cried so hard that my body drifted off to sleep.

My dream was a repeat of everything that happened, but I could feel my body being torn away over and over. All I could do was watch as Jacob looked at me with so much sadness. Yet he didn't say anything, but let me suffer more and more. My heart broke into pieces, the boy I grew up with, who made a promise to me, has left me, my mate has mated with my half-sister, and my whole pack has deserted me. I am alone, left here to die. I awoke to a howl, the pain was intense. I cried when I realized that I hadn't succumbed to my injuries or pain. No one will miss me, no one wants me. I'm just a rejected mate, a rouge, and I'm a wolf less. Today is my birthday. My wolf has yet to heal me or come to me. I'm just a regular human who doesn't deserve to be loved or with anyone. I had decided that since death didn't greet me, I had no right to stay in the pack that I was born into. I had to leave because if I stayed I would be hunted down and killed. I had to start over. I studied a lot during school, so I knew the layout of the nearby packs. I could find myself a new one and pray that I never come across my old pack ever again. Leaving was the hardest thing I had to do. If I stayed I would suffer more at the hands of Lora and Lorraine. Once you become a rouge, any pack can take you in, but any pack can also kill you. I had to find a safe place soon. Being a new adult at 18, I not only would get my wolf, but my scent would attract un-mated wolves. Being a rejected mate would also be grounds for any wolf to take me. I had to find wolfsbane soon. It could suppress my wolf hormones for a while. I fear that if I don't get a wolf I would have to live a life as a human. I took the old cloth from the cave that we used as a tablecloth. I wrapped it around the open wounds on my back. The pain was stinging, but I had no choice but to keep going. I looked around but couldn't find much, just a table and chair, paper and pencils, old toys that we played with and a small box that held our treasures. I knew that since this was my last time here I would leave this place and never return. I grabbed the paper and pencil and began to write.

Dear Jacob,

My heart is truly broken, you have torn the last hope I had away. All I wanted was to be the princess that you saved, but when the time came you failed to save me. We grew up together, we were best friends. What happened to you? What about your promise you made? Was that a lie? How could you just watch and do nothing? You became the villain, not the Prince in my story. So "I, Stormy Weatherly, daughter to Alpha and late Luna of the Red Stone Pack, accept your rejection. I will move on and find a mate who will love me and accept me. Be happy with Lora, a false mate." P.S. I loved you for a long time. It's time for me to let you go. Goodbye!
