Hunters mate.

Blood, it's what they said made a person close to their family, yet it's what made me feel so far away from my own. I was five when my mother passed away. It was also the same time I lost my hearing and voice. The doctors though it was from losing my mother at first then latter on they discovered they were both gone. My father became a really angry man after that, as alpha he only had one child and that child become useless to him after that.

Not long after my mom died he meet his new luna, Mary Ann they had a son and her two little girls, that's when things got worse for me. After they got married the girls took my room and my brother took the other room in that house leaving me the basement. After that I because their helper but as I got older I was turned into a house slave, forgotten and left behind. I spent most nights crying, wishing I could find my mate to live my happy ever after.

Today was that day, we all had to go to the Grand ball. Every year all the family's got together at another's pack territory to fine their mates. This year it was our neighboring pack the black ash pack. It's hard going to this pack get together not being able to talk or hear anyone.

I packed my main things into the small book bag I had, normally I sat in the back of the room gathering what ever Martha and Abby wanted to eat or drink. This year was diffrent though I planed to be part of the gathering this year. I wanted out of this hell hole even if that ment running away after this.

Heading down stairs Addy had on her too short dress and over sized heels, while Martha had on this year's Praha. My father was waiting for us by the door, anger set on his face when he turned and looked at me. I wasn't dressed like my sisters, I didn't have nice outfits and I had was my Jean shorts and tank tops, with my flannels. My father started sighing at me. " You look disrespectful Ember, I hope you plan on staying by the car tonight we don't want you embarrassing our family. Now get in the back of the the car before someone sees you." With that he opened the door and pointed out side. I could feel everyone laughing at me, normally I would have cried but that only gave them more ammo.

Cramped into the trunk of the car with everyone's belongings I watch as my sisters mothed to me how grosh I looked and how if they got their mates daddy was making my become their slave so he didn't have to see me again. Pain filled my heart as I watched my father smile at them and tell them he wished I was more like them and not some half wolf.

Their abuse was starting to become to much by the time we got to the gathering, I could fill my wolf beaming with anger or the edge of my mind begging to rip them apart, while the hunter in me agreed. Everyone had already gotten out of the suv when I finally made my way out. A man was over by my father talking when he stopped and spotted me crawling out from the trunk. I watched as he asked my father who I was, putting on a small smile while he looked at me.

I watched as anger and hatred flashed a crossed my father's face when he turned to me, and fear started to creep up my bones.

KYLE'S POINT OF VEIW.

I hated days like this, once every year a hole lot of people got together just to find a mate . Alexander was wrapped up in all his alpha crap leaving me to greet everyone as they pulled up. Got to love being a beta.... not.

A black suv pulled up to the side, that's when alpha Danny came out with his two girls and son, his wife following after the son. Alpha Danny had a smile on his face while heading my way.

"Alpha Danny it's great to see you and your girls again. How's the family?" Putting on my best fake smile I hugged him. Laughing in my ear he place a hand on my shoulder. " kyle oh, how I missed seeing you. We're all great hopefully the moon goddess will bless my girls with mates today. We're is alpha Alex at? Not like him to be missing the greetings." Placing my hand in my pocket I looked at the old man with the best smile I could. " he's got alpha things to do and sent me out-" looking behind him a seem a girl making her way out of the trunk of his suv, she had dark black blue hair framing her face while all she had on was Jean shorts and a flannel shirt. The look on her face seemed sad as she looked our way. "Alpha Danny who is that young lady climbing out of your trunk? I don't think I've seem her before." The smile on his face slowly started to fade away as he turned to look at her.

Anger filled his voice as he tried to keep a stright face, " that's ember my oldest child. She's been off at a special school with the humans she can't talk or hear. She just came home last month when school ended and had been helping around the house. She doesn't come out much." Placing a hand on my shoulder he turned and bowed his head. " I'm sure she'll be staying out here this isn't her kind of thing. But we should be getting inside there our many people to greet." He turned around and headed for ember , when he got in front of he he started to wave his hands in weird way like he was talking to her. After a few moments he walked away with his family leaving her behind.

Pain seemed to fill her eyes as she sat on the bumper of the car looking down at the ground. I felt bad for her not being able to hear or speak to anyone, how would she know if she found her mate or even the other way around.

Embers point of view

It sacked, after my father yelled at me for getting out of the car I was told to stay outside. He didn't want me to get in the way of my sisters happy ending or make people ask about me. Pain filled my chest as I watched everyone walk in leaving me behind. If my mother was hear and seen what my father was doing to me she would cry. Then again it never mattered what my mom though, when I was five my father found out my mom wasn't just a lone wolf but also a hunter. He had condemned her to death after breaking and rejecting my mother as his mate. The night before her death she had told me that someday I would see how special I was and that I had to live for my people. After that night I lost everything, and she had left me to fend in a world of hateful people.

When I was ten my father and his new wife took up sighing so they could tell me what I need to do, that's when they sent me away to a private school for the deff saying they didn't want to see the likes of a hunter taking what belonged to their true children. I was lucky to meet great people their, I had friends and people I could call true family. Every holiday after I was ten was spent with Lula and her parents. 12 grade had been my ruff year knowing it be my last chance to see my friend, it took 3 hole weeks to get me to do my homework hoping I could get held back and stay. That spring break was also the first time a meet someone I liked, he was great and even learned to sigh for me but then he left to spend the last of his year with his family. I also meet zack that spring, he had said he was like me and wanted to help me. We spent the rest of the year together and when school was over he never txt me again. He told me all about the blood of the hunters and had explained why hunters were so dangerous to the shifter world.

I pulled my phone from my pocket to txt him, that's when the tall guy from earlier walked over. He had a note pad and pen in his hand and kneed in front of me. Handing over the note pad I realized he had wrote something on it. In almost illegible wright, 'hi I'm kyle, it's nice to meet you. I was just wondering if I could asked you to come in with me. Theirs food and drinks and everyone's nice for the most part.' Looking up at him I wished I could laugh. Grading the pen I wrote bullshit on the page and giving it back to him. I watched as his body started to shake with laughter. Grading the pen he wrote the words true on the page, but before I could Wright anything he grabbed the notebook and pen again. Handing it back to a read the small print that said, true I'm lying but not about the food or drinks so let's go.

Grading the pen I told him no thanks, I was asked to wait here for my father and told him I wasn't one for partys. Handing him the pen and paper back he frowned and then bowed before walking away leaving me to myself once more....
