Chapter 1
Rosalin POV
Watching my cousin walk down the aisle to her soon to be husband has me all emotional considering I’ll never get that.
Unfortunately, I know who my mate is, and he has made it clear he doesn’t want me, for something I didn’t do.
I heard from others that he despised my kind, and I don’t even know why, what did we ever do to him.
Damina and I became close over the year and a half, a cousin I didn’t until recently when she came to visit, and that once visit turn the supernatural world upside down.
In the mist of finding out who she is, a war broke out between packs, and the gifted or as we’re commonly known as witches.
I hate being called a witch; we get such a bad rep because of the name. Our family is gifted, most of the females are born with some type of gift.
You never know what it’s going to be until you turn sixteen, kind of like a sweet sixteen birthday present. Once you know what you are blessed with granny or grams as Damina has called her, teaches up how to control the gift and how to use it.
No one has ever had more than one gift at a time, sometimes if you have advanced in your gift, you can practice to see if you may have another gift.
We take ourselves seriously, having a gift mean having the responsibility to help better out lives.
My family isn’t the only ones with gifts or power you could say, some feel the need to prove they are better than the next and it has cause problems within the supernatural community to the point we don’t really get along with werewolves.
I have had any experiences with vampires, but I heard they keep to themselves thinking we are beneath them. I’ve never in counter one before, but I heard of a few witches who have.
There was a witch bonded to a vampire a decade ago, but we don’t know too much about what happen. All I know is what my mom told me.
Grams doesn’t talk about much of anything, all she does is teach us about our gifts and to stay away from other species.
I know it a whole another world out there, I’ve even seen a fairy before in the woods one day. Small creature with translucent wings with a shimmering tint to them. Zipping fast through the trees like a butterfly.
I thought maybe I was dreaming, but when it flew past me again, it or she slowed down and looked at me. I was the most amazing thing I ever seen.
I think she even tried to talk to me, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying, it sounds like squeaking noise as she tried to get me to understand her.
After trying to communicate for some time, I wrote a message on my pad to see if she understood and luckily, she did. I told her I would see her again soon.
That was probably a couple months ago, with everything that was happening, I haven’t had a chance to see her again.
Being restricted from going into the woods sucks, but maybe with Damina being Queen now, she can lift the restriction.
I watch as she stands at the alter facing Cameron, after they Alpha King ceremony, they had the Luna ceremony the next week, I couldn’t be happier for my cousin.
Wishing I would someday find my one and live happily ever after, but of course this is not a fairy tale, and my ending doesn’t feel one bit of happy.
I glance past the couple to see mate staring daggers at me like I pissed in his cereal.
I can’t count the time he has hurt me by going out with that bitch Chasity.
Wherever I go it seems he follows me, just to rub it in my face that he doesn’t want me.
I’ve tried going out myself, but it seems after the date I never hear from the guy again, giving the excuse that I was boring, or thought I was an easy lay.
It hurts to know the one that’s supposed to love you, it intentionally hurting you for no reason. I want to be petty and turn him into a goat or something, but mom says not to if I don’t want to get on grams bad side.
I roll my eyes and turn back to my cousin as she says the vows, I hand her the ring and once it’s place on his finger the Minister announces them as husband and wife, “You may now kiss your bride,” wiping a tear away from my eyes because I don’t want to ruin my makeup.
We proceed to walk out the wedding venue and I was pair with my jerk of a mate. Once we get outside, we’re asked to take pictures for the wedding pictures.
I couldn’t wait to get away from him, he was being an ass, because he would place his hand on my lower back knowing I could feel light butterflies in my stomach.
Being close to him was driving me crazy and I wanted to enjoy the rest of the wedding day.
Heading to the reception hall, we marched into the couple song and took our place at the head table, waiting for them to make their grand entrance.
Looking at my far right I could see Chasity blowing kisses to him, and that only annoyed me even more, I couldn’t wait for this day to be over.
I love my cousin, but I needed this joint to hurry up.
Once they finally walked in everything went off as scheduled.
After the dinner the DJ started playing a couple song to get the crowd hyped and on the dance floor.
As soon as Cash Money taking over for the 99, came all the ladies got up and rushed to the floor shaking what they momma gave them.
Even my mom’s was out there trying to twerk, I just shook my head and started laughing because I know she was wild back in the day.
I decided to go ahead and join the fun, I mean why the hell not, no point is sitting around while everybody else have fun.
I got into the middle of the floor with my sister and other cousin and we all just twerked until the next song came on.
I just continue to move to the beat in my own world, when I felt someone behind me grabbing my hips swaying with me.
I looked over at the head table to see Travis giving me and murderous look, I took this as an opportunity to piss him off even more.
I started grinding my butt on whoever it was just because I was in the grove.
Once the song ended, I turned around to see who I was dancing with, and let’s just say Mr. Man was sexy as hell.
It was like God carved him out of fine chocolate mountain and chiseled his face to have amber color eyes, rounded nose, kissable lips with a dimple in his right cheek. He was tall and muscular with broad shoulders; I could feel his six pack against my back when we danced.
I’m not into to bald guys, but damn I’d get a ticket to ride this coaster.
Omg what was I really thinking about his guy like that, jeez I don’t even know him. Maybe I could get to know him, I mean I’m single so why not.
Before I could say anything, I was yanked away from him and slammed into another chest, once I felt the butterflies, I knew who it was.
“What the hell Travis?” trying to pull away from him.
“Is that what you do, grinding all over a stranger like some slut,” he said trying to make a scene.
The audacity of him when he has that slut Chasity busting it open to Mason a warrior he doesn’t know about.
Yea I get the scoop from my cousin on what’s going on in the pack, she’s the only one that knows Travis is my mate and she pissed off at the way he treats me.
I told her not to worry about because as soon as my eighteenth birthdays come up, I’m rejecting him, I don’t need him, I’ll find someone who will love and cherish me.
Pulling my arm out of his grip, I slapped him and walked out, I wasn’t dealing with his shit tonight, I went to my cousin and told her I wasn’t feeling well, and I was going home.
I walked to my car and started the engine, before I could drive off, I heard a pounding on my window, it was Travis telling me to stop.
I gave him the finger and drove out the parking lot, I don’t need you Travis so fuck off.
