Learning to Love Again

Chapter 1: Smile Even Though It's Hard

My name's Seraphina Louise Miller and you guessed it I'm a werewolf. I know you think having abnormal strength, speed, and hearing would make life better right? Wrong my family is the Gamma Family which means we are strong warriors. Even though I'm the daughter of the Gamma nobody really realizes I am, the reason my parents don't parade me around like they do my older brother Dante.

It sucked being a female in one of the top families of my pack. My mom is strong and I want to be like her. Unfortunately for me my mom and dad don't even acknowledge me and when they do it is to vent the stress of their days. Since they don't acknowledge me I don't get the new things that come out. They dote on my brother like he is the Prince even though he is a bully and manwhore.

My pack is the Ridge Mountain pack the reason for the name? We live in the mountains and our territory is surrounded by ridges. Which is great because it makes it harder for people to attack, but it is also lonely. Maybe that's just me though because nobody knows anything about me because my parents don't ever acknowledge me, but they use me as a punching bag anyway, whether it be words or physical. Either way though I turn 20 today and still haven't found my mate, well that is a lie my mate was the future Beta Janson. We found out on my 18th birthday during training practice. The Females and Males train separately for the warm-up and then come together for sparring. When we met I thought finally someone would see me for who I am. I was wrong Janson rejected me on the spot and then proceeded to make out with his girlfriend Alina. I was so heartbroken I left. I shifted alone that night and just left. Nobody even knows I'm gone.

It's been two years since I've traveled the country and still no one has tried to find me. By now my brother is Gamma, Janson is Beta, and Clayton is Alpha. I'm so heartbroken that no one could find a way to love me. I guess that is what was planned though that I'll forever be alone. "Don't talk like that my sweet human." Adina my wolf told me. She is a beautiful wolf. White as snow that reflects the moon and looks like sparky silver at night. I've heard rumors of white wolves having special powers cause we are so rare. I don't I checked. I'm just a pure white wolf. I am kind too kind to those who even hurt me. I forgive them because it is better to forgive than to hold my hatred. It doesn't mean I keep the people around, but I still forgive them. "We are beautiful my girl and you have a heart of gold. Someone will love us the way we always should've been." "Adina your optimism is great and all, but let's be realistic here. If my parents couldn't love me then who would." "My girl you have a smile that could heal the world and you have it on everyday. Remember your matra smile even when it's hard " "I know Adina, but it is getting harder every day." She went quiet after that so I sat by the river near my apartment building just thinking. I love being near water it is peaceful and flows beautifully.

"Happy Birthday to me. I know I'll make it through this." "We will make it through this we always do."

I draw whirlpools in the water but something strange happens. the water rises and flocks to me. like I'm it's master. This is weird as f**k because this has never happened before. terrified at the tsunami coming my way I throw my hands out in front of me and yell stop. just like that the water falls and flows back into a river.

what the actually hell just happened? "Adina what was that?"

"our powers sweet human. we have many."

"And I'm finding out now why?"

"you had to figure it out yourself."

this damn wolf and her cryptic ass messages. with that last thought I walk back to my apartment where more weird s**t is happening. first the apartment building is on fire and I command it to stop before it can burn. suddenly the buildings not on fire anymore. great how many powers will I end up having.

I need to get out of here before I leave a trail of weird s**t that'll get me caught by police.

Yes, I live in the human world. I quickly pack a bag and leave after I cancelled my lease and paid the damn fee. With that I'm gone where I don't know.

Days of walking, of hunger, probably some dehydration in there. I'm disoriented when a pack of hungry rogues come my way. Well at least the little warrior training I had will come in handy. lucky for me my wolf is strong even when my human body isn't.

"Adina now!"

In a second I'm in my wolf form taking on 20 rogues by myself. I'm able to take a few out before Adina starts wearing down. as we're about to accept our fate a Black wolf with red eyes leaps over us taking out the rest of them.

Red eyes...Alpha...fuck I'm in pack territory and I'm a rogue. He's going to kill me. this is my last birthday I guess. just as I'm preparing for him to kill me he takes his big ass wolf head and slides it under Adina's bod, hoisting her onto his shoulders. great public execution it is then. when we get to the pack lands there's no one insight. what the hell is this is he going to kill me or... the scent it's his cedarwood. damn now I'm drooling.

"MATE!"

"Adina I think you hit your head we had a mate remember? He rejected us."

"well apparently we have a new one."

is that even possible? I've heard of some people getting second chances but that's usually if their mate dies. mine didn't die, he just simply decided I wasn't good enough.
