Chapter one

Ariana's POV

"You abomination! You no longer my daughter, from now!"

"What do you think you have done? Pack your things, a car is waiting for you out there. Get in and leave!” my dad yelled at me in rage, his eyes holding a certain kind of disgust I had never seen before.

Watching him, tears streamed down my cheeks as I darted my eyes from him to my stepmom who was having a grin on her face. She liked to see me suffer, and I was sure it was part of her plan just to get rid of me.

Slumped to the floor, I was confused about what to do. I knew he asked me to go study in Blue Moon pack, but that wasn't what I wanted.

“You are still here? I would rather not find you here when I get back!” he yelled again.

“Dad, believe me. Marcus is lying. I never tried to seduce his brother.” I explained.

“You didn't what? Your stepmom caught you, yet you want to deny it? How despicable can you be? All you are invested in is to tarnish my name. That won't work, not when I am alive!” he grumbled.

“She fabricated everything, Dad. Can't you see she's lying? Besides, it's not like Marcus is my mate. I don't feel any bond with him.” I said.

“You are still as stubborn as you are, right? How dare you talk to your father like that?” Jessica, my stepmom, jumped in. Happiness was glinting in her eyes, but she was concealing that side of her, making it hard for my dad to notice.

It's not like he cared. To me, he had changed ever since this woman came into the pack. She ruined everything, and now she had sent me packing from my father's house.

“Marcus, come take her out.” my dad said to Marcus, my fake mate who was standing by a pillar and was also enjoying the mess I was in since he was part of it.

“Yes, Alpha.” he nodded and reached for me, tugging my arm, and dragging me toward the exit while I struggled to break free, but his grip was just too tough to get out from.

“Make sure she is delivered to Blue Moon pack. I have talked to their Alpha.” my dad said and angrily walked back into the pack house alongside my mom.

“What a wicked soul you are. I hate you.” I grumbled at Marcus, expecting my words to get to him, but he didn't budge.

“If you had given me that body of yours, none of this would have happened.” he smiled, having no shade of humanity in him as he spoke.

“You…” I didn't get to finish my words before he shoved me into a van and shut the doors. Darkness welcomed me and I couldn't even see my body.

Vroom!

The van started, and I was moved to Blue Moon pack unwillingly.

The next day.

I got up from the small fluffy bed I was on after having a long sleep. I didn't know how long it was, but I was sure it was long. I yawned and rubbed my eyes off before noticing I was with someone else in the room.

“Who are you?” I asked frighteningly, looking at the feminine figure before me.

“Who am I? I am your roommate, damn it. My name is Diana.” She introduced herself with a warm smile while I gave her a strange look.

“Where am I?” I asked, confused.

“What are you saying? I guess I should have known. The way you walked in yesterday was like you had so much booze or something. Anyway get ready, we are having a class.” she blabbed while I kept looking for a while, trying to fix all the pieces in my head.

My eyes trailed her clothes, examining what she was to wear. She had a crop top and a pair of jeans and was holding a bag.

“You mean school? I am in Blue Moon pack already?” I asked, widening my eyes.

“Yes. And just to warn you, your dad sent in a letter talking about your attitude and how you should be punished if you don't go to school.” she sneered.

“What? He did that?” I asked, feeling heartbroken. My body suddenly turned weak, and I wish I hadn't woken from my sleep. But who knows, perhaps it could have gotten worse.

Already, my eyes were swollen, and my body looked messed up.

I bet I would be scared of my reflection in the mirror. But then I was sure not to disobey my dad. He had a connection with the Alpha of this pack and when he sent out a warning, he was always sure to do what he said.

Jumping off the bed, I was stuck between trying to figure out where I should go or what I should do.

“The bathroom is that way,” she said, pointing towards a pathway to me.

Sighing, I walked towards it, flinging my legs like I could ball the earth with my foot.

“You are welcome!” she scoffed.

Ignoring her, I got into the bathroom and took a good bath. The place was quite new to me, so I wasn't acquainted yet. After all, I just got here yesterday and to me, she was still a stranger.

“Damn it, I don't even have clothes.” I sighed and looked around after having a small towel wrapped around my chest.

The way I was chased out of the house yesterday was so cruel. It felt like I was some junk that needed to be taken out to the trash. The worst of it was that my father ordered it.

“You can have mine, I think yours will come in today,” Diana said.

“My clothes? Why are you nice to me?” I asked, unsure of my words.

“Because we are daughters of Alphas and I know how it feels to feel useless,” she said, smiling bitterly. However, I wouldn't want to push further, as her smile alone had exposed all the sadness she was feeling.

Zipping my mouth, I walked towards the clothes she offered me and got dressed. Though I still looked messy, it was none of my business. After I was done, we both walked out, heading to school.

Throughout the walk, all I did was stare around. The pack was looking more modernized compared to my father's. There were fancy houses, the development was enticing, and I was left staring in awe for a long time.

Diana could only giggle as she watched how I was staring like someone who came from the past.

“We are here,” she said, and I was jerked. Looking towards my front, there was a massive building crowded with so many students. I took a deep breath nervously and we walked in and my eyes darted around the new faces I could find.
