Claimed by her second chance

Tylahs POV I'm still thinking about last week's altercation between Becca and I, as I was walking the hallways of moonlight high school I was distracted reading and checking over my class assignment that was due to be handed in by the end of the day and i accidentally bumped into her, as you could imagine that didn't work out all to well for me. Becca glared at me with her piercing blue eyes which where flashing an amber colour, A sign her wolf was present, waltzing just beneath the surface. "what do you think you are doing you stupid runt?!" she yelled out with her annoyingly high pitched growl whilst pointing her finger painfully in my chest, "I'm s s s sorry" I stuttered while trying to Apologize, I was trembling knowing all too well my nervous stutter makes her even more agitated with me, I closed my eyes tight waiting for the pain that normally consumes me when I'm confronted by Becca but it never came, when I opened my eyes after a few moments of silence I was met with an almost empty hallway but I could hear her shrill voice even from here calling after Daxton at the other end of the hall, I'm sure trying to get his attention. Daxton Rivers, the Alphas eldest son and Alpha heir to the moonlight pack, my pack. Daxton broke up with Becca a week ago on his 18th birthday after finding out she wasn't his faded mate. Here at moonlight pack we receive our wolf on our 18th birthdays and once we have our wolves we also have the ability to scent out our faded mate, each person has a strong special scent that attracts your mate and only your mate, its a bond "like no other" according to my mum Betty, it is said no one is able to resist the pull the bond creates so most couples in the pack are faded mates. The childhood stories my parents told me of when mates do reject one another are haunting, They state that if you get rejected by your other half you feel empty and pain as if you are dying inside, very rarely the moon goddess will gift you a second chance mate but never to those who do the rejecting. My 18th birthday is only 3 days away; I don't have any friends I mean it's not like I don't want friends but because of my size I'm not really "friend" material, I'm what you'd call a runt, which of course is lower in rank then even the plain omega, so no one wants a runt as a friend to lower their own rank in the pack, I'm practically invisible to everyone other than my adoptive parents, people have even told me its why my birth parents gave me up so that sometimes crosses my mind. unfortunately every pack member needs to hold a "coming of age" ceremony that hosts the Alpha and his family to witness the first shift of a pack member so they can be initiated into the pack and gain their mind links to communicate with the rest of the pack instead of relying on a phone. As I walk down stairs from my bedroom I see mum and dad whispering, huddled together close as if they were worried anyone may over hear them. inside my tummy is swirling with anxiousness I'm not entirely sure why but it just feels like something is off with them, normally they sit close to one another but not so close they look almost like one person. "Everything okay?" I ask, my dad Jax being the first to pull his head out of their huddled conversation, " of course sweetheart, just work stuff" I know it makes sense ; dad is the packs healer so he's almost always busy and stressed from his work, it can be hard for dad somedays I'm glad he can talk to mum though, they're close so if it's one of his bad days I'm glad he's talking about it to someone I know he struggles with parts of his job especially if he loses a patient which I guess could explain their hushed conversation this morning. I push the weird feeling aside and just nod my head to him as I continue to walk into the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. Its my last week of school before I graduate, I'm so glad this part of my life is almost over, I just hope to get my college acceptance letter soon, I mean that's if I get accepted, I plan on following in my dad's footsteps and study medicine so I can become a pack healer just like him, I've made sure over the years to have the best grades and pass with flying colours to get into the best healers college in the state, It was pretty easy to stay focused when I don't have any friends to distract me.
