Chapter 1 : End of innocence ❤️
Just a little warning when writing this book I was diagnosed with some severe medical issues that cause problems with my memory and ability to form an make complete sentences it was a lot of stuff going on with me and was receiving treatment while writing this book so sometimes you may see that I forgot names or it's a little all over the place I still have to work on it I haven't found the time or the energy to do so and the fact that I don't remember writing it doesn't make it any easier so I apologize ahead of time.

"That'll be $12.59, cash or credit?"The slightly older woman behind the counter of the pharmacy said with a dubious look, as I dug through my purse for what seemed like 5 minutes.
"I found it!" I said faking a smile and handing her my prepaid debit card. I looked down fixing my hat and pulling my shades up, hoping no one would recognize me. I gazed around sheepishly as all the other customers stared at me, including a nosey older man, who leaned into my ear and whispered "Do your parents know?"
My parents would most likely know I was pregnant before I even got home, considering I had no privacy these days.
Even if the test was negative rumors would eventually make their way to my parents. Dad could sniff out secrets no matter how deeply they were buried.
{Flashback to 6 Weeks Earlier }
♪"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Angel, Happy Birthday to you!"♪
Our entire pack and several other neighboring pack members sang loudly, while teasingly smearing cake on my face, and awaiting me to blow out the candles.
"Blow out the candles honey and make a wish!" My mother said kissing me on the cheek. Seeing this my brother Reed licked the whole left side of my face, my mother scowled, smacking him in the side of the head. "Leave your sister alone!"
I was surprised when Reed spoke up "Seriously though, I'm proud of you!" I gave him a soft smile" Back at you bro."
"I'm so proud of you baby girl I know you're going to do great things!" My dad [Christian] said wrapping his arm around my shoulders and hugging me tightly.
After I blew out the candles my incredibly handsome boyfriend Shiloh of 3 years, Gingerly walked over whispering in my ear.
"You're my mate babe! Zion just told me!" He said referring to his wolf and eagerly wrapping his arms around me at the same time.
My eyes lit up and I smiled brightly. "Yes! Thank you Goddess!" I exclaimed while doing a happy dance in my chair.
"Wait, are you sure?" I questioned hesitantly, considering he would have known when he turned 18, so I was in disbelief at first.
"Absolutely!" He answered confidently, seemingly sure of himself as I jumped into his arms.
"Okay meet me at our spot at 10 pm before you shift!." Shiloh said before kissing me on the lips and exiting the room.
I'm so incredibly lucky, I thought to myself. I have an amazing family and an amazing mate. I can't wait to see what the future holds.
After most of the guests left and my family retired for the night, I readied to meet Shiloh. I jumped in the shower shaving my legs, armpits, and nether region. After washing and drying my hair I put on sexy lingerie under my turquoise sundress, hoping to surprise my mate. I began applying light makeup and let my curls flow loosely, I was finally ready and felt like such a goddess.
My parents gave me a hard time about shifting by myself but I told them I wouldn't be alone so they hesitantly agreed.
"Our spot" was a secluded area at the southern end of the forest beneath a willow tree, which provided adequate privacy considering it was completely closed off.
Most wolves didn't venture into the area because it was too far from pack lands. And I would get my ass kicked if my parents knew I was.
My boyfriend was so gorgeous we were probably the most popular kids in school, although, I didn't care for being popular because most of the popular kids seemed pretty stuck up, but Shiloh was the opposite, with me anyway.
Shiloh surfed constantly and his body showed that he wasn't a high-ranked member of our pack because all those positions were filled. He earned popularity because of his looks and his personality.
Shiloh was perfect, his skin was a beautiful sun-kissed bronze and I loved the way that no matter what he did he always looked good. His hair was blonde and naturally bleached by the Sun, but his smile was what won me over, it was so contagious, I am so lucky that he's my mate.
I was pulled out of my stupor when I saw him.
Just as Shiloh promised he was waiting beneath our tree. Before I could utter a word he took me by the hand and led me to the tree trunk kissing me passionately.
We both gasped for breath as we pulled apart he said: "You're beautiful you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this very moment."
But, I hesitated for a moment I had doubts and I think he realized this. Running his fingers through his hair he gave me a stern look, "you don't believe me do you? Even though we've been together all these years and I have never stirred you wrong, or lied to you.. you still don't trust me, Angel?"
"It's not that, you can't tell me that you don't find it odd.. that you didn't realize this before?"
"I honestly think it's because the weight of college preparations bore down on me, drowning me in a sea of stress and uncertainty, doubts crept in, clouding my thoughts and skewing my judgment. I feared losing you as my mate, and in my turmoil, I pushed you away. But now, babe, I realize my mistake." Shiloh's words washed over me like a soothing balm, his reassurance cutting through my doubts like a beacon of light in the darkness.
"Take the leap of Faith with me, Angel, show me that you truly trust me,"he urged. Leaning in, Shiloh pressed his lips against mine in a tender kiss, a silent promise of love and understanding. In that moment, all my reservations melted away. How could I doubt him? His love for me was pure and unwavering, a steadfast anchor in the stormy seas of my mind. I knew deep down that he would never intentionally hurt me, that his intentions were as genuine as the love that bound us together. Trust bloomed anew in my heart, casting aside the shadows of doubt that had plagued me before.
Although it seemed rushed I couldn't get enough he was my mate and I was completely ready for whatever he wanted to do.
I became nervous when he started kissing my neck, I didn't know if I was ready to be marked, but he was my mate so it was the right thing to do. So, when he didn't mark me I was surprised, but figured he wanted to do it at home so we continued.
His kisses were sweet I could feel my body heat up and when he started grinding on me I knew I was ready. I took off my panties granting him access, I was his for the taking.
He wasted no time unzipping his pants and brandishing his seemingly average-sized member. He lifted up my dress Grabbing my leg and pressing me up against the tree, I felt his swollen head against my entrance. He looked into my eyes for approval and I nodded my head "I'm ready", I whispered biting my bottom lip.
I felt a tinge of pain as Shiloh eased himself inside and then it was gone. I had hoped he would done something to get me ready so it wouldn't be as painful but instead he just began Picking up pace pumping harder and harder.
As I attempted to enjoy the sensation my nails dug into his back and we both breathed heavily. I was so close to my peak and was almost there... But that was it, he jerked and groaned loudly as he finished inside me and without me, leaving me surprised and needing a release.
I never realized it would be so quick.
After he finished he wiped himself off and said "Go clean yourself up," making me feel disgusting, like I was just his plaything.
Before I had a chance I felt my body begin to tingle.
The sensation worked its way all throughout my body and it wasn't a good feeling, it felt similar to when my foot fell asleep. That's when the pain started and as I crumpled to the ground I saw Shiloh backing away and then running off. I cried, "Wait where are you going I'm about to shift" and suddenly I felt a hard blow to the back of my head, that's when everything went black.
I awoke on the forest floor alone and covered in thick black fur that was so dark it was almost blue. The smell of cold damp Earth made me nauseous and my head pounded at that point I realized I had already completely shifted apparently I passed out due to the pain.
As I stood up Shiloh's foul odor still lingered in the air causing bile to rise in my throat. I broke down in tears from the betrayal I couldn't believe that someone I loved so much could be such a piece of shit I thought I knew him.
I was caught off guard when my wolf chimed in:
" Hello love,My name is Athena and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you've been lied to, I'm so sorry Angel, but I promise you we have a mate, you just have to be patient. Now if you don't mind I'm going to take over from here."
I let myself drift to the back of my mind.
Athena ran all night and we conversed about everything.
I couldn't stop thinking about Shiloh and the betrayal, I trusted him because he was my best friend, we had been together for 3 years, and he had never lied to me that I was aware of.
At that moment I promised myself I would never be taken advantage of again, I'm not my mother I wouldn't simply turn the other cheek, I was going to whip his ass.
Hours into our run Athena and I came upon a lake stopping mid-run She asked "Would you like to see our reflection?"
"Yes!" I said excitedly.
We gasped in unison as we gazed into the water.
I saw my beautifully majestic black wolf and Our eyes were glowing green orbs so stunning, I thought to myself.
At that moment I knew.
I knew that my mate was out there and he was going to be absolutely perfect, I just had to be patient.
I didn't get home until sunrise and I knew my family would smell Shiloh's scent on me and know what I did.
Even though I knew they wouldn't say anything, I didn't want to see the looks on their faces when they got a whiff of me. So, before I made my way inside the house I saw a nice patch of green grass, and like an idiot, I rolled over and over into the grass attempting to cover up Shiloh's stench. Hopefully they wouldn't ask too many questions.
Yes, I am 18 years old but I still don't need my family to know my business, My dad has rules in place for specific reasons it's his home and he's the Alpha,I have to be respectful.
After rolling around in the grass like a dumbass I made my way home. To my dismay, I was met by Reed waiting for me on the porch, sniffing the air with a sour face.
"Damn Sis, you smell like dick, dirt, and broken dreams! I seen you rolling around in the grass trying to cover up that stench!"
he said bending over howling with laughter.
" Wait, you can smell that already? But you don't even have your wolf yet." I said curious as to how strong his abilities really are. Tears moistened My cheeks, if he only knew the entire story of what just happened. There was another thing that I had realized my abilities were nowhere near that good.
"Duh, I am a soon-to-be Alpha, just because I don't have my wolf yet doesn't mean my senses aren't heightened, and I'm fucking awesome, so I knew anyway." My brother said with a stoic look.
"Shut the fuck up, I know he told you Reed!"
"You're right sis, when he came back smelling like you and acting the way he was I was convinced something happened."
"I was worried, so after I roughed him up a bit he told me everything, and I just wanted to say, I'm really sorry for what happened and don't worry I got you covered when it comes to Mom and Dad. I told them you guys had a spat."
My brother said kindly patting me on the back. "Everything's going to be okay sis." he assured me.
Taking a deep breath, I made my way into the house avoiding everyone at all cost I didn't need the youngest kids commenting on my appearance, so I rushed and got myself cleaned up.
Gazing in the mirror I took in my disheveled appearance, noticing pieces of grass and clumps of dirt and leaves that were Tangled throughout my hair. Feelings of shame and anger took over my being as I replayed last night's events in my mind. I couldn't believe that I was stupid enough to give my v Card to him. Not only that but it wasn't good at all, for a moment maybe, I hope that it gets better than that.l I've heard so many things about a mate bond and how it feels to be with someone who truly belongs with you. I'm sure it gets better. From this day on I will be with no one.. but my mate.

★Present day★
" Excuse me, Miss, Where's your bathroom?"
"The second door on your left right down that corridor," the store clerk said gesturing towards the bathroom.
I grabbed my bag with the pregnancy test and nervously rushed into the bathroom to get this over with. I didn't know what the hell I would do if it was positive.
After reading the directions for the digital pregnancy test and peeing on the applicator, I patiently waited for the results.
As the minutes ticked by it felt like an eternity after 5 minutes, finally the test beeped notifying me my results were in.
Taking a deep breath to tame my pounding heart I glimpsed at the test.. And I suddenly felt my entire world collapse as I read the results.
