Rejected then Royally Loved

Day before 18

I have been laying in bed and contemplating my life. Well, another day in hell! I get out of bed and go straight for the shower. I will be eighteen tomorrow. I would be a legal adult and can rule my own life. That thought alone fills me as I shower, get dressed, and put my bag together for school. I stopped by my nightstand to look at the picture of me and my parents. There were so many but this was always my favorite. I really miss them so much.

Alpha Drake and the Luna have been amazing parents to me throughout the years. They don’t know much about the abuse at school and such. I don’t want to be seen as someone who always runs to them when something goes wrong. I know what you are thinking. I should tell them. But I can’t. Last time I tried to say anything, my sister poisoned my drink with wolfsbane and I was sick for a few days. I don’t want to go through that.

Weird thing was, wolfsbane is supposed to make us so weak that we disconnect from our wolves. Surprisingly enough, that did now happen with me. I was sick but I was still able to go to school and train. The only reason I knew about the wolfsbane is because my dearest sister made it a point to let me know why I was sick. I did not tell anyone.

“Well, I am off” I said blowing kiss to my parents picture and checking out my outfit. Everyone always tells me that I am an exact replica of my mom, with my fathers and mothers brain mixed together. I train everyday, sometimes twice a day. Every summer, I go to a summer camp that is for warriors and trackers. They train everyone like an Alpha there.

The Alpha and Luna as well as the Betas know about the summer camp. As far as everyone else is concerned, I go to summer school. I like it that way. No one needs to know too much about me. Slowly I make my way downstairs, taking the 3 flights as my straight hair that falls just above my butt flows behind me.

“Morning Drake” I greet the Alpha cheerfully. Putting my lunch together quickly and grabbing a plate of bacon and eggs that the Luna has prepared for me. I stopped calling them Alpha and Luna about 4 years ago, since they raised me like a daughter.

“Morning, sweetheart, what do you want for your birthday?” He asked. I want to say my family but that’s a long shot.

“How about a shopping spree?” I say instead, getting a smile from him.

“Okay, well I know how much you want your own place so how about I give you enough money to buy one.” He says as I lean against the counter opposite of him, nearly dropping my plate while he surprises me.

“That would be amazingly awesome!” I practically shout in amazement as I put my empty plate down and hug the man before me.

“Thank you!” I had my own part time job at the diner in town and had saved up over a hundred thousand between tips, pay check, and birthday money over the years in my secret bank account that only the Alpha and Luna knew about. I my siblings knew I had money they would do anything to take it away from me.

“Why do we hear joy from the little slut?” I winced at her voice as Mila comes into view, wearing her usual stripper clothes as I call them. She was calling me a slut when I have never even slept with anyone and she sleeps around with anything that walks.

“Mila, that’s enough.” Said the Alpha using his Alpha tone and I smirked from behind him. Where I got my mothers looks, Mila got my dads, including his big bone structure. She looked more manly than most of the females in the pack. My brothers knew better and just glared at me instead of saying something. If looks could kill, I would probably be six feet under by now.

“Well, I am off to school. Are we going to the coffee shop as usual?” I ask the Alpha and Luna. They nod. Fridays were coffee days with My adoptive parents. Nathan joined us only to be nice but we all knew he was jealous. It is the reason why my once best friend was the mastermind behind my torture at school. The rumors were that I would be the next alpha. Most of the pack respected me, but the way I was treated by those around my age was like a slave when the Alpha and the top four had to go on pack business.

I sighed and hopped on my bike. I had my license, but I prefer to ride my bike because of the workout I got from it. It kept me fit and skinny and helped my stamina. I like to ride the back trails to school. With all the amount of food I like to eat, this helped a lot. Once I had arrived at school I locked my bike up own a tree and walked towards the school while my headphones were still blaring music.

“Hey b***h, where do you think you are going. I told you to do my paper.” I sighed and turned to glare at Nathan and his jock posse that hung out on his fans new jeep.

“I had my own paper to do, the same one you had to do since we are in the same class.” I said, using the tone I use for children. That pissed him off as he stalked towards me his fist swinging at my face. I smirk and duck, watching as his momentum brings him crashing into the flag pole.

“I have class and so do you, Alpha said he would take away your toys and ground you if you failed, guess what, you’re failing.” I say and make my way into my class. Taking my usual desk, I grab my paper and hand it over to the teacher. Minutes later the other wolves have come in. The school was called Were High. It was an Elite school for werewolves. It was located in the town that was just outside the three bordering packs and so all the wolves from those packs went here.

Our pack was about an hour from the Royal pack. They also come here, but the prince has already graduated a few years back. The Prince went to school with my brothers. My sister tried to get with the prince but he had already found his mate when she was attending at the same time as him so that was a no go. We know he had a mate but no one knows what happened to her. He took the crown 2 years ago. I was sixteen. He became the Alpha King with No Luna Queen. There was a lot of gossip there. Some say she died, and some say she cheated and left the Royal Pack. My friends know what happen but they cannot tell me. I remember feeling so bad for him.

I had a few friends but none were in my pack. They were from surrounding packs and were not happy at all on how I was treated at school especially by Nathan and Mila. They were from the Royal pack. When we met we just hit it off. They were awesome. It was like we had this connection and link. Fitz and Liv were my best friends. They were mated. They are also the future Betas from the Royal pack. They are my rock.

The future gamma is also one of my best friends. His name is Jake and his mate is Ashley. We all get along so great. Sometimes I wish I was in their pack. I just always felt this connection to them. It was weird. But they are also the same. We protect each other and they are my biggest defenders sometimes. Yes I can fight my own battles but it is so nice to have someone on your side.

The school day went smoothly and I rushed home to finish my homework before Friday coffee night. I drove down in the old Cadillac I bought on my sweet sixteen and walked in to find the Alpha and Luna watching their son as he looked at the bandaged hand Nathan was sporting.

“Do I wanna know?” The alpha asked, shame filling his voice.

“Nathan got into a fight with a flag pole at school, the flag pole won.” I said as I sat down.

“Speaking of school, your teachers called, good work as always sweetheart. They suggest that you take advance classes in university if you decide to go.” The waitress came and took our orders and then she left. There was a long pause as the Alpha and Luna looked at each other and then at Nathan.

“You, on the other hand, have to get your work done and grades up. Until you do, I am going to agree with what your dad said last time we had this conversation. Your gaming systems, tv, laptop are mine as well as your car. You can have them back when you improve. I don’t know why you are like this. You were never like this. I don’t recognize who you are anymore.” She was in her mother mode. I just sat back there waiting for my Hot white chocolate and my white chocolate chip macadamia cheesecake.

“It’s not my fault. If Emma did my work like she was supp-“ Nathan started accusing me like it was my fault he was failing.

“You are doing his homework?” The Alpha asked and stared at me.

“No, I have my own to worry about. Besides the teachers would know he was cheating.” I state proudly.

“So now your bank cards are one and you are grounded for three months.” The alpha says disappointed in Nathan.

This was the reason why everyone thought I would be the next alpha. The waitress came in with our order and we went on to talk. I told my adoptive parents how our teacher gave us a book to read over the weekend. That got me a glare from Nathan. The Alpha and Luna said that tonight we can sit with the Alpha in his office and read as well as start the report. He wanted both of us to be done before the party tonight for my birthday. Since I officially turn eighteen at midnight and the best part is that it will be on a full moon. Nathan was not happy about that.

“But-“ Nathan said only to be cut off from his father.

“No buts, Nathan. I told your coach to bench you until your grades are up.” Leo was the quarterback and the other future alphas were also star players on the team.

“You can do that.” Nathan whined and I rolled my eyes.

“As your alpha and father I can. Being your father is my job and that means doing stuff that will prepare you as my heir. Your mother is right the behavior you are showing is not of a future alpha. Get your act together.”

Nathan stayed silent the rest of the time. We left shortly after, Nathan taking a ride with his father and mother because the alpha had the packs mechanics tow his car away. As soon as we got home we were in the Alphas office for four hours while reading and doing the report. Nathan struggled a lot and needed help from his father.

After we were finished we had dinner and then got ready for my party. I quickly go and get ready for my party. I looked in the mirror once I was dressed and smiled. Finally, I will be eighteen. I feel like things are going to change big time. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Well to the party we go.
