Chapter 1
Being seventeen and in high school is hard enough, but dealing with the harassment and abuse from my classmates is horrible. To make matters worse, I'm also a werewolf that has to deal with the same torture from within my pack. They see me as the weakest member of the pack since none of them has ever seen me shift. Josh Quibideaux, the future alpha of the Cajun Red pack thought that my wolf abandoned me and made me weak, a liability to the pack.
What they didn't realize was that I could shift, I just chose not to. A werewolf will typically shift for the first time at sixteen, but there are exceptions. The first time is always the most painful, but there's no conscious thought to it; it just kind of happens. After that we can shift at will. This means, I could go days without shifting, and I could choose the when and where it would be done. I knew that I would be seen as a piece of property if anyone knew that I was a white wolf. Dad would use it as a power play and who knows how Alpha Quibideaux would respond. He's just as bad as his son, a power-hungry bully.
Why didn't my parents say or do anything? Even though the pack kids had made my life so miserable? Well, it was simple: they agreed with the rest of the pack. A werewolf that didn't shift was considered an embarrassment, a black mark on the family's reputation. Thankfully, my parents were hardly ever home because they often traveled for work, so I would just wait until they left before shifting.
Unfortunately, school would be over in about a month and unless I moved away, someone would see me in my wolf form. That was why I was calling my cousin, Connor. Whenever I had a problem, he would be there doing everything in his power to fix it, or at least make it better. I missed being able to hang out with him like we used to. We always went camping and hiking together, and no one messed with me when he was around. That is until he met his mate, Lisa, and moved to Texas to join her pack. He and his mate were a part of the Lonestar pack.
That, along with the fact that he was best friends with the Alpha's son Jackson, meant there was already someone in the pack who knew me, and could speak on my behalf. Connor being three years older than me worked in my favor as well.
Jackson knew I was important to Connor, and he could not believe what my pack and parents put me through over the last two years. Connor had filled him in on everything I'd gone through. I knew my cousin wished that my parents would take more of an interest in me. He couldn't understand why I wouldn't shift in front of them just to get them off my back. I had my reasons though. Still, he had tried for the last eighteen months to get me to leave my pack and join him.
He was furious when he learned what Josh and the rest of the pack were doing. He was scared that one day, one of them would go too far and seriously hurt me. I think what pissed him off more was the fact that my parents not only stood by while I was tormented, but also contributed to it.
Time seemed to slow down, waiting on someone to pick up the other end of a phone line. I was walking in circles in the forest waiting for Connor to answer his phone, I was wearing a trail into the forest floor as I waited for him to answer.
"Hey Jamie. What's up?"
"Hey, Connor," I greeted stopping in my tracks. "How are y'all doing?" I couldn't help but look around as I spoke. I didn't want anyone to interrupt my conversation with Connor. I walked over to a fallen tree and sat down. This was always where I came to think and just be by myself. "You sure that your Alpha will let me come and stay there?" I asked over the phone, as I rubbed my hands over my face.
"Of course I am Jamie," he assured me. "Alpha Michael will gladly give you safe haven. It's a packs duty to protect as many wolves as possible."
Connor's voice became distant as he yelled something away from the phone. I assumed he was talking to Jackson, but I couldn't be sure. Jackson had been Connor's best friend since he moved there 2 years ago after he met Lisa at a regional convention.
A wolf pack, was like a large extended family with the Alpha and Luna as the parental figures. They were the ones who would hand out any punishments needed. They were the ones to make the important decisions to help the pack members succeed in life. I used to think my Alpha and Luna were this awesome couple who always put the pack's needs first. It wasn't until the verbal and physical abuse started that I realized I was wrong. As it turned out, they didn't care as long as their son's position wasn't threatened and he was happy.
"So when are you coming?" Connor returned to our conversation. "Jackson said his parents are gonna be at the Alpha conference and that he'll remind them that you haven't told your Alpha of your plans so that they don't accidentally let something slip."
According to Connor, Jackson was setting it up so that I could stay with him and Lisa until I felt comfortable enough to move into the pack house. The pack house was where most adult and unmated wolves lived.
"As soon as school's out, I'm heading that way," I told him. "I haven't decided if I'm going to stay for graduation or leave the last day of school."
I got back up starting to pace back and forth, I heard a twig snap and started to look around to see who was there. It was stupid of me to not pay better attention to my surroundings. Some werewolf I am to get snuck up on.
"Bye Connor. I will talk to you later."
"Bye Jamie. Be safe."
"Hey stupid," Mary yelled. "Who you on the phone with? Your boyfriend?"
Man does she have a voice that can grate on anybody's last nerve. I really hoped she didn't hear my last statement; she would definitely tell Josh just to make my life miserable. Mary was one of those who had no trouble with sleeping her way into power. She had her eye on Josh, but knew that he was not her mate.
I decided to walk away because I knew that responding to her like I wanted to would just make things worse. Unfortunately, Josh stepped out from behind a tree just as I turned to leave.
"Nah, no one would be dumb or desperate enough to date him," he sneered. "His mate'll probably reject him if he even has one."
My heart dropped to my stomach and I could feel my face fall as well. I always told myself that his taunts and cruel words didn't mean anything, that he was just saying those words to try to hurt me.
I knew deep down though how much it meant to me to have a mate. Someone that I could depend on, protect and love at all costs. I know I would cherish every moment with them and love them no matter their faults.
It's just those words, though that cut right, he said cut me right through my heart and hit me in my soul. The thought of me being an embarrassment and denied by my mate was my biggest fear and if that happened I know it would just break me.
I hope you enjoyed the beginning of Your Alpha, My Mate is several chapters in advance on the website, http://www.wolfwriterga.weebly.com and I will post them on Nifty as fast as I'm able.
See you guys there!
