The Cursed Mate

“Yes Alpha”

Collin:


Stress, I always hate this feeling and stupid Millie the mute seemed to always cause it. I have never understood why she irritates me so much. Perhaps because I look around and see my perfect pack. All my classmates are strong and beautiful. They are the best of the best and then there is Millie. I watch as she tries to walk past me with her head down.


“Mute mutt stop where you are.”
Always the obedient little mute she stops and stands not looking at me.
“You are supposed to say Yes Alpha, show some respect.”
She just looks at me. I know she can’t speak but I use this as an excuse for my anger as I knock her to the ground. My class mates praise my actions. No one wants a weak link in the pack. No one even tries to help her. I only hope her mate finds her and takes her away... a small part of me regrets my actions but if I handle this then the rest of the pack won’t. At least that is what I tell myself.


Blaze: “Liar, you are a liar. If you treated her well they would also. Remember this is on you. You will regret it one day.”


Blaze is my wolf and the only thing we disagree on is Millie. Another reason to hate her. 
“Blaze, you don’t understand. Weakness is not allowed in this pack. We are the strongest pack in this continent and as the future alpha I have to keep it that way.
Blaze just shakes his head and hides in the back of my mind.I learned years ago that Millie the mute almost died after several students held her under water and her lung was punctured. As much as wanted the weak link gone I could not have my pack members kill her. A death like that would not go unnoticed by the council. From that day on I told them Millie was mine to deal with and no one but me is to touch her. I look at her eyes as she looks up at me. Was that anger ?


Blaze: “Stop, you stupid foolish bastard.”
He always took pity on this weak girl. Once again we argue about having no weak links in my pack. For some reason the closer we get to my birthday the more aggressive Blaze gets.I kick her again and she looks away spitting blood on the floor. I roll my eyes.


“Such a weak ridiculous excuse for a wolf, go to class before I beat you unconscious.”
Blaze simply fades away further from me and refused to talk as I once again plan ways to force her to leave my pack. I watch her head down run to class and my mind goes back to a few years ago.


*flashback*


Millie
Today is my birthday Star. You know maybe it won’t be so bad. They are having a big party for Collin at the pack house and everyone will be there. We both are turning 15. 
Star: “Even our mate. Maybe one day he will realize and be nice!” 
Maybe today. Think he will like our gift. Maybe if he likes our gift he will stop hurting us.
Star: “I think so and who knows maybe even like us.” 
I take out the wallet with a wolf howling at a full moon burned into it. I have spend weeks scetching and burning the design into the leather. My fingers still had blusters. I had added a star in the top corner and smiled walking to Collin with the small gift.


Collin:
What do you want Mute Mutt?
Millie holds the small gift out to him. The package wrapped in some kind of tissue paper and taped. I rioe open the paper and look around at my friends. They all start to laugh. How dare this weak link embaress me. Eric, my best friend and my future Beta laughs and says: “Hey the little mute likes the Alpha!” I can’t have anyone even thinking that. I speak a little loud for everyone to hear. “What a stupid gift from a stupid weak little good for nothing wolf! Go away.” I throwthe wallet on the ground and stomps on it, the note inside crushed. Millie’s eyes tear up and she runs away. She will hide in the supply closet like she has done before. I roll my eyes. 
Eric speaks to me but really I am only half listening as me eyes glance at the wallet on the ground. It actually is nice too bad it was from her. “Should I teach her a lesson?” Eric says.. “Yeah whatever man just don’t kill her. Hey who wants to play in the pool?” 
Three days later he saw her again at school and she refused to look at anyone in the eyes ever again. Weird right? To get so worked up about a wallet.


*end flashback*


Collin really didn’t think much about it but for some reason watching her reminded him. Of that day. A part of him wished she would look in his eyes. He shakes the feelings off.
