Chapter 1: Rejection
“Ah,ah” I break into a sweat as I wake up, that nightmare it felt so real.
My name is Octavia, but most people just call me O. I’m 17 years old and I’ll be getting my wolf in a few months. I can feel her getting closer to the surface as the months go on. I’m part of the Blue moon pack, there is quite a lot of us wolves, 4,500 to be exact.
The nightmare consists of a rogue attack that happened when I was 12 years old. My parents were visiting a neighbouring pack called Red moon pack, and I was with my grandma. The rogues attacked at first sight of dusk, and I was playing in the park my grandma came running for me and I had no idea why. All of a sudden a medium sized brownish reddish wolf attacked her and killed her right in front of me, the wolf left me there probably to make me suffer. Our Alphas eldest son came as soon as the others were neutralized but it was too late she was gone.
My father is the beta of Alpha Henry, that makes me the next beta since my family doesn’t have any male descendants. I am an only child so it gets lonely but since I’m a high rank I have a lot friends.
Finishing senior year is getting difficult when my body is so on edge about shifting in a few months, the first shift is always painful, bones cracking, screaming.
“O, come on we are going to be late for class.” Says Leia my bestie.
“Alright, alright give me a second I forgot my text book, I’ll catch up go on without me.” I smile as I encourage her not to be late. Our school is in on the boundary line of the Red moon pack so we go to school with the teens from there.
Then I smell the most amazing smell, consisting of vanilla and peanuts. Out of nowhere I hear a voice in my head “hi Octavia, I’m your wolf sienna, it is nice to finally meet you!” I was stunned! I wasn’t supposed to get my wolf until I turn 18, as if hearing my thoughts Sienna laughs “your special silly, having a traumatizing event happening to you can delay this process, you were supposed to turn at the age of 13.” I thought about her words but it was a question for another time.
Then my mind went back to this delicious smell of vanilla and peanuts, but they don’t smell like they are from Blue moon pack. I look up and see a pair of chocolate brown eyes looking my way, he strides towards me saying “MATE!” Then he stopped halfway, more than likely smelling that I’m not from his pack, but then a look of disgust forms “you can’t be my mate, your a beta female not an Alpha female, we will finish this later.” I couldn’t stand there any longer I ran home.
The next day I was dreading school. Whoever he is we didn’t finish what he wanted to talk about, because I ran home.
Always doing as I’m told my parents never asked me about it, probably just assumed it was a bad day so they left me alone.
The mysterious Alpha I presume was waiting by the front door entrance when we locked eyes.
“Where did you go? I was looking for over an hour.” He rudely asked.
“I went home I couldn’t stand you. What is it you wanted to continue later, because I really have class to get to.” I calmly explained, don’t need to be pissing off Red moon packs future Alpha.
“This might sting, a lot” he laughed. “ I Brandon Lincoln, future Alpha of the Red moon pack, reject wait sorry what’s your name?” He sinisterly waited.
“Octavia Blake.” Sienna quivered in my mind.
“Right, I Brandon Lincoln, future Alpha of the Red moon pack, reject Octavia Blake as my mate and future Luna.” He waited for my reaction. My parents told me a rejection from your mate hurts the worst but I didn’t feel anything. Brandon walked away not dwelling on the fact that he just rejected his mate.
Sienna was all giddy and excited. “Why are you happy our mate just rejected us?”
“He may be our fated mate but he isn’t our TRUE mate.” She happily replied.
“Is there a difference?” I asked confused.
“For us we get 2 chances a fated mate and a TRUE mate.” So Sienna was happy that we were rejected, being honest so was I, he seemed like a straight up asshole.
“That’s the spirit!!” Sienna yells in my mind as I start laughing.
“What do you mean by for us, does no one else get 2 chances?” I ask her curiously.
“We are special, when you shift in a few months you will know why.” She smiles brightly.
Time to start a new day.
