Chapter 1. The past

Ciera’s pov

‘’Hey orphan, bring me a juice’’ Rachel ordered me. ‘’Careful Rachel she will rat on you’’ Rachel’s best friend Sisi warned her playfully. But let’s start from the beginning, I am Ciera moon and I am a werewolf, not a high ranked one but a gamma, also I am an orphan. These two have made it the goal of their life to torment me. 

You will ask me who they think that I will turn to and complain to about them. Well, the answer is easy, my boyfriend. He is the second son of the alpha. One day he will become the beta of his brother. Will I be his mate? I doubt it. Me, an orphan and gamma mated to the future beta? I don’t think so. 

In many packs gammas will start their job to clean and cook for the pack at a young age but in our pack the alpha is considerate and we do do some shores but only at the weekends. He is a kind alpha and although he disapproves of my relationship with his son, he is kind to me. I think he likes me a lot but not for his son. He wants high-ranking shewolves for his sons. 

But let’s go back to the beaches, I mean my fellow pack members. They didn’t like me from the day i started hanging out with Sebastian and Pablo. Sebastian is my boyfriend and Pablo is his brother and also the future alpha. 

It was the first day at kindergarten, I was all alone and another kid called me orphan and I started crying. He was only a kid, he didn’t even know how bad that made me feel. I was crying and Pablo came and caressed my head. The instant I looked into his bleu ocean eyes I felt safe for the first time since I lost my parents. After him Sebastian came two. The three of us, we were friends for many years since then until one year ago. 

I don’t know exactly what happened but Pablo became distant. He was busy all the time. He even became rude to me and I finally got the massage not to bother him. After that it was only me and Sebastian. 

Sebastian had feelings for me for years and he sawed it all the time but I was skeptical. After a long persuasion I finally gave in and we are together for one month now. Do I love him? of course I do he is my best friend. Do I have feelings for him? I hope that I will or maybe not. I don’t exactly know what to wish for. 

If I fall for him and he founds his mate I’ll be devastated but maybe he won’t. I owe it to us to see what life brings us and I owe him a chance. He is always by my side when I need him, he is sweet, good and considerate. He isn’t bad looking either, he is really hot according to some other girls from the pack. Sisi is really into him or his power I don’t exactly know. He was always keeping her in distant because he assumed that the power was that she was after. 

But enough with the past, lets go back to the present. ‘’ I not on the clock Reichel you can ask someone else or better go get your own juice’’ I told here with a smirk, looking her in the eyes. I am not selling myself short anymore, I have to stand my ground. i dislike her so much, she is the definition of the bad girl and further more she is sleeping with Pablo. 

She is into him, like a lot but he is sleeping with a bunch of other girls too. She is just the main. He doesn’t play with her, she knows exactly what their relationship is all about. Or let me rephrase that, they don’t have a relationship. He is free to sleep with anyone he wants, no strings attach. 

I don’t completely hate her, I can understand her. I can see what she sees in him, he is decently the hottest guy that I ever saw. He is like a Greek god. He is so well built due to the training. His muscles are like rocks and his aps, oh my god his ups, you can play chess in them. His shoulders are wide and his arms so strong. But nothing compares to his ocean blue eyes, you can lose yourself in them. 

And how can I forget his full lips and his messy hair that make him irresistible. One look at his lips and you want to taste them. His intoxicating scent, which reminds me of the forest makes you want to hold him and never let him go. How can you share a guy like this? I would be jealous and furious too if I were in her shoes. 

‘’I’m talking to you weirdo’’ studently Rachels voice brought me out of my thoughts. When she realized that she had my attention she continued ‘’you are a servant and you better learn your place, soon enough Sebastian will find his mate and you will have no one to turn too’’.

‘’Maybe, we will see about that. But how does it feel to know that you aren’t Pablo’s mate?’’ as soon as I said that her eyes turned red and you could see how furious she was. She grabbed me by my neck in an instant and she was choking me. There wasn’t much that I could do. She had her wolf and I wasn’t. That’s how I know that she isn’t Pablo’s mate. They both have turned sixteen and got their wolves, if they were mates they would have known in an instant. 

I was choking and as hard as I could try to remove her hand from my neck It was useless, I kicked her many times but nothing. I hadn’t my wolf so I couldn’t mind link anyone. I was feeling helpless and completely in her mercy but I was trying as hard as I could not giving up. I was starting to lose my senses, that would be the death of me. But I won’t whine, that isn’t me anymore.
