ch 1. Another year older, A new me
(KORE'S POV)
Today I woke up like I would any other day, the only difference is that today is supposed to be a special day. Today I turn seventeen. Now I know most girls throw big parties and it's supposed to be a huge party but not for me, because I'm different. Since I'm a special wolf I have no friends but one and my life has been hell and so I told my friend not to celebrate my birthday today. Because since my first turn I've always been treated different which makes life hard.
*flash back*
When I shifted at the age of seven which is to young since when you usually shift is around fourteen or sixteen. But like i said I'm different, I was sent home from school one day because I was feeling really sick and hot. So when I got home my mom sent me to my room upstairs. I made it to my bedroom door when I suddenly started screaming because it felt like someone had caught me on fire.
my mom and dad came running to see what was wrong. When they saw me my dad looked worried and my mom looked bored and said "what's wrong now?" like I was a problem.
"Can't you see? she's getting ready to shift, but it's too early this isn't good we could lose her!" he exclaimed. He came and held me saying "It's going to be ok as he carried me to my bed and laid me on top of the covers and turning on my ceiling fan trying to make it cooler in for me.
My dad was scared because shifting this early can kill you because your body can't withstand the pain of all your bones breaking and rearranging. My mom left because she doesn't care. I anyways knew she never liked me because she ignores me all the time.
After an hour and a half later my bones start to break one at a time. It hurts way worse than the burning. My screams got so loud that I lost my voice which I know my mom was glad for. My dad was trying anything and everything to ease my pain but nothing would work.
Finally I was so exhausted and the pain had subsided when I opened my eyes, I looked around but my parents looked much taller. When I looked down I noticed I had two white paws.
Both my parents looked shocked. Then dad looked awed while my mom looked mad as she stormed from the room. When I tried to ask my dad what was wrong a tiny yip came out instead, so I just tilted my head to the side instead. My dad came and kneeled down in front of me and picked me up saying i was beautiful as he carried me to my bathroom and sat me down in front of my full length mirror so I can see myself.
My fur was pure white like fresh fallen snow but when he turned me around I saw a light red heart shape on the scruff of my neck.
That's when my dad told me no wolf has ever been born completely white or with a making. Since then I lost my friends and all the adults thought I was a curse or some s**t, and I believe it.
I grew up close to Asher the son of the Alpha, We were best friends until I shifted. Dad says he's jealous because I shifted first, but I know it's because of my strange fur. All the kids at school would bully me and if Asher saw he'd just walk away.
My mom would hit me when dad wasn't around, but one night when I was thirteen we had a rogue attack I was keeping one away from dad while he was fighting another rouge. One rogue snuck up behind him and crushed his throat killing my dad and leaving as soon as he fell to the ground. I ran to my dad i was still in wolf form my muzzle red from the other wolfs blood and my mom finally came to us and seeing me she blamed me for killing dad, from then on she disowned me and I became the pack slave and punching bag"
End of flash back
So like I was saying I'm not gonna do anything today, because for one no one ever remembers my birthday except my best friend Angel but I told her not to mention my birthday for fear someone would give me a beating for it.
All I'm excited about is possibly finding my mate in hopes he will take me away from here. You see today happens to be be the fall annual moon howl ball. It's always held on my birthday and all the packs close and far away travel to the event all for the chance to see if your mate is out of your pack. I'm hoping I find mine and that he is not from here so I can leave this pack to a new one where I will be treated with love and respect.
I picked out my clothes and snuck in a shower last night. I put on a pair of pre- stressed jeans in a dark blue color with holes up and down the legs, I had a black crop top with the words "KISS ME" in it in white. I found them in the trash and thought they'd be perfect for meeting my mate.
After I got dressed I did my hair. My hair is a dark brown with natural red highlights and reaches the middle of my back so I put it up in a cute high pony tail that still reached just above the middle of my back.
Then I put on a light natural pink matte gloss and light mascara no eyeliner. This was all the makeup im allowed to wear and only on spacial occasions. But it's enough to make my hazel eyes stand out. Once done I throw on my white converse that I keep clean and head to school early since I have to walk.
When I get to school, everyone is looking at me because I was dressed up and I made it to school early since I left my room thirty minutes early. But I don't care because today is the day for changes I can feel it. So I walked into the building and went to my locker where I grabbed my books for first period and head on my way to class.
