Jasmine Pov
Hell. Pure Hell. That\'s what my life has become ever since that day. The day that changed my life forever. My family and I were members of the Red Valley Pack, here in Cincinnati, Ohio. We were the strongest pack in the whole state. No one dared to mess with us, as we feared among many. Our warriors were brutal when they fought. Our alpha is strong, fearless. My dad was the alpha\'s second in command. His beta.
Yes, I\'m a beta\'s daughter. My dad\'s name is Daniel White. I grew up with a wonderful childhood. I have had many friends here at the pack, since I was Beta\'s daughter. I was loved by everyone. My family and I lived on the second floor of the packhouse. The Alpha and his family stayed on the top. The omegas lived on the bottom floor. When I was born, many said I looked just like my mother with my tan skin, thick brown hair, and hazel eyes. It\'s true. My mother, Jessica, also sports the same brown hair, though hers is a shade lighter. My hair is so brown it almost looks black. We have the same eyes as well as the same dimples. I have a crescent moon birthmark on my lower stomach. Mom says to keep it always hidden. She says it is a gift, though I don\'t know what for, but I do as she says. My brother, on the other hand, is a replica of my father. They both have dirty blonde hair and blue eyes and are 6ft tall. I was also blessed with my mother\'s curves.
Tia, Tamera, and Sabrina were my closest friends. Tia and Tamera are twins and are the same age as me. They both have blonde hair and green eyes. Sabrina is an only child who always referred to me as being her sister. She is one year older than I am. She has black hair and blue eyes. They are all omegas. Ever since I was born, everyone adored me and wanted to keep me around. They probably thought it would give them some advantages, but I adored the attention anyway. I was the apple of my family\'s eye. My brother Darnell is 2 years older than me and was very protective of me. He never let any male around me he didn\'t trust other than his best friend, our alpha son Oliver Shemus. Oliver was the same age as my brother but older by a few months. He has black hair and beautiful blue eyes. Oliver was like anyone I had ever met. He always teased me and made fun of me, but he was protective of me as well.
Whenever a male pup tried to talk to me, he would growl at them and make them go away. I never understood him. Every time he was around me, I would feel like my heart was beating fast, and I never understood that either. He nicknamed me Jelly Jasmine when I was 10 due to my chubbiness. It was common knowledge that all-female pups are a bit chubby until they hit 18, which is the day they shift for the first time. Children were known to meet their wolf spirits at the age of 13. It gave them 5 years to bond with their wolf before they turned 18. Wolf spirits are another conscious inside your head. Darnell would always scold Oliver for picking at me and calling me names, but there wasn\'t much he could do. Oliver was the “Alpha’s son”, and no one could tell him what to do, which meant he got away with everything.
On my 13th birthday, everyone from the pack hosted a party for me to come into my wolf spirit. I was dressed pretty in a purple skirt and a white shirt, with my favorite black flip-flops. Mom curled my hair pretty. A way to know someone has come into their spirit is if their eyes glow. This is something that would only happen once to a wolf, and only on their 13th birthday, just to signify the connection between their wolves. Their eyes would glow all day. Afterward, their eyes would only turn black when their wolf is in control of their bodies. The Alpha\'s eyes would glow bright red. A beta\'s eyes will glow a burnt orange. An omega\'s eyes will glow a bright blue.
Everyone was crowded around me trying to see my eyes glow orange. I was super excited as I looked into a mirror on the table. I could feel the excitement in the air as they waited. We all ate, drank, and mingled with the pack members but nothing ever happened. Very soon, their smiles started to turn to frowns. My father and brothers did as well, but my mother was very happy about it.
“Jelly Jasmine doesn\'t have a wolf. What a loser”, Oliver taunted, causing everyone in the packhouse, other than my parents, to laugh at me. Even Tamera and Tia, who I was close to, were laughing at me. Sabrina was upset and she ended up growling at Oliver. The alpha and Luna ended up growling at her. Sabrina\'s parents, Lori and Adam, took her away from the party, as she had just disrespected the future Alpha. I teared up and ran to my room, locking the door. As usual, Oliver had to ruin something special for me. My mom unlocked the door with her key and went in and I laid on the bed crying.
“It\'s okay my love,” she said, rubbing my back. I sat up and put my head on her shoulder.
“Why don\'t I have my wolf yet mom? I\'m the betas daughter. I should have my wolf”, I told her. She kissed my head.
“You may just be a late bloomer, my daughter. Just give it time” she tried to assure me.
“Everyone is just going to pick on me now,” I told her. She puts her arms around me.
“Look at me Jassy”, she demanded. Jassy is her nickname for me. I looked up into her brown eyes. They held so much pride in them.
“You must never let them get under your skin. You are my special little girl, and one day you will come to see just what I mean, I promise”, She says, and I nod, feeling a little better. She always knows what to say to make me feel better. She stayed in my room with me for the rest of the day and we played games and talked until I fell asleep later. I woke up later that night with a huge headache. I went to the bathroom and got some Tylenol from the medicine cabinet. A purple glow caught my eye.
When I looked into the mirror for the source, I saw it was coming from me. My body was glowing a purple hue and my eyes were glowing purple as well. They were a pretty mystical color, purple. I had never heard or seen anything like what was happening to me before. I contemplated telling my mother, as she was the only one who understood me, but I didn\'t want to worry her.
“Hello, wolf girl?” I asked in my head. Maybe my wolf has finally come. Why else would my eyes be glowing?
“Hey wolfie you there,” I said in my head, but no response followed. Instead, my eyes turned back to their hazel brown. I ended up in tears again. I was indeed wolf less. The depression from the revelation made me forget about my purple glowing eyes and I went back to my room and cried myself to sleep.

I lost the respect of my friends and the pack members that day. That included our alpha and Luna. It put my mom and dad at odds with the alpha and luna sometimes, but they tried not to let it show. Sabrina has been the only one who has stuck by my side since then. Even as an omega, she seemed stronger than me. She stuck up for me against those who tried to pick on me. Unfortunately, when it came to Oliver, she was forced to be quiet by her parents, but it didn\'t stop the glares she gave him. She always told me she hoped whoever ended up mating with him would reject him as he was the sort of person who needed to end up alone. I agreed. Having no wolf puts me at odds with Darnell. He would still growl at people who picked on me, but he wouldn\'t talk to me either. I came to realize later that he would only put on his protective brother stance as a front to the pack members and the girls. It broke my heart, being that we used to be close.
I could handle getting picked on. I could handle the taunts. I could handle the stress, but I almost broke at what came next.
Jessica Pov (Jasmines Mom) To say I'm pretty happy Jasmine's eyes didn’t glow on her 13th birthday is an understatement. Her eyes would have either been orange or purple, and I would take the chance of them turning purple, as I knew I would lose her if I did. Purple eyes meant they would investigate Daniel and me. I have done so much to protect my baby girl that I would lose my mind if I ended up losing her. She is so special. She has no idea just how special she is. “You're going to have to tell her someday”, my wolf Lana says. “I know, but I will protect her as much as I can until then,” I told her.“No, we will protect our pup together,” Lana says, and I smile. Lana is my best friend, and I don't know what I would do without her. Daniel was upset that her eyes didn't turn orange. He loves Jasmine, just as much as he loves me given our situation, but I knew he was hoping she would only be a beta, so she would always be safe given we were married into the beta line. I met Daniel
Jasmine Pov Our pack-grounds were big. Our packhouse was all white and was surrounded by fields of green pasture. In front of the packhouse were huts where the mated families of the omegas. The unmated omegas lived in the packhouse. There were some huts near the edge of the forest that were torn down and rotten. No one lives there. The forest, which was my favorite place to go sometimes, was behind the packhouse. It held so many beautiful types of trees. My favorite smell of fresh rain lingered on the wet leaves as it had rained the night before. Sabrina and I went through the forest to enjoy watching the leaves fall. We loved to put them in piles and jump on them. It was one of our favorite things to do. Sabrina's parents, Lori and Adam, gave us vanilla ice cream to eat since the day was hot. We ended up finding a great spot where a bunch of leaves were falling. The tree looked ancient, but it was still just as beautiful as the rest. “You ever wonder how all the trees were made,”
Jasmines Pov We arrived back at the packhouse, passing soldiers that were already on the way to help my parents, who I knew were already gone. I just knew it deep down, because there was a hole that opened suddenly in my heart, and I couldn't seem to close it. Once we got back to the packhouse, we were met by Luna Leena, Alpha John, my brother Darnell and the Alphas' son Oliver. " What happened?" Alpha John demanded. I didn't have a wolf, but I felt his fury roll-off in waves. He would have felt the death of his beta, which means most likely, my mother was dead too. " Alpha" Adam bows. " We were told by Beta Jessica and Daniel that rouges were spotted near the pack. They were rushing to the woods, and we had let our daughter play there with Jasmine. We were able to save them, but I believe the Betas are now dead", Adam says, bowing his head. Darnell tries to run to get to our parents, but Oliver is holding him back. " Why the fuck would you let your daughter go in the forest unsu
Sabrina Pov Something isn't right. This is what my wolf Flora is telling me as I enter my hut with my parents. I can feel the sadness pouring from them in waves of what happened. Our recklessness. We hadn't even thought we would need supervision, as Jasmine and I tend to go into the forest frequently. What the fuck had changed now? We all sat in the living room. None of them said a word. Flora was still saying something was wrong. "Of course, something is wrong. Jasmine's parents are dead, and there is nothing we can do to help her about it", I told her. " No, I know that. I mean something is off with Jasmine. I think she is in pain”, Flora says. " Well, of course she is. Did you not hear a word of what I just said, I asked her, and she growled at me frustrated? " Besides, how are you sensing her? She has no wolf" I ask her and to that she doesn't respond, which is unlike her, because she usually gives a snarky comment back. I look at my parents. "It's not your fault," I said ou
Jasmines Pov I woke up on a leather chair with lines hooked to my body. I groaned instantly, as it felt like my body had been run over by a thousand trucks. As I looked around, I could tell I was in Sabrina's house. She and I have snuck down here countless times. As I laid in place, everything started coming back to me. Playing with Sabrina. Surrounded by Rouges. Leaving my parents behind to die. Almost being killed by Darnell and being knocked out by Oliver. My right eye felt swollen where his foot connected and there was something over it. I was only seeing from my left eye. At this point, I think I'd rather be dead. I saw Sabrina and Lori come in. Lori starts checking my vitals while Sabrina sits beside me and holds my hand. I don't remember how I got here. "How you are feeling Jasmine," Lori asks in her sweet voice of hers. She and Sabrina look just alike. Both have the same black hair and sky-blue eyes with a heart-shaped face. The only difference is, Sabrina keeps her hair cu
Jasmine Pov I moved into the forest hut today. They gave me one right across from where my parents gave their lives for me. Alpha John and Luna Leena were waiting there when I arrived. Luna Leena's smirk was all over her face. I could tell she was waiting for something. Most likely for me to break down. Alpha John had the same patient expression as if he too were waiting for something. They weren't gonna fucking get it. I went to this clearing yesterday with Sabrina, Lori, and Adam. I cried and cried. The pack members hadn't even tried to clean up the bloodstains. I just left them there as a reminder. I made a promise to my parents in the clearing that I would never let any of them break me, no matter what. As I did, I felt the wind stir and wrap around me as a comfort. I smiled as I felt the ghost of their arms around me. I knew they would never leave me. I intend to keep that promise. I smiled graciously at the Alpha and Luna and bowed as per our custom. I looked at the site with
Jasmine Pov The pain I had been putting up with these last few years was nothing compared to the pain I am feeling right now. My head feels like it's about to burst into two.“Jasmine, you must calm down. The more you resist me, the more painful it will be for both of us” a soothing voice said. I closed my eyes and tried to relax and concentrate on the voice of my wolf. I relaxed my body enough while doing so. “That's it. You are doing great. Let me take over”, She said, and I did. At once, the pain had ended. When I opened my eyes, I could feel another presence in my head. "Holy Shit," Sabrina said, looking into my eyes. "What?" I ask her. She doesn't reply, so I growl a little in annoyance and at one she and Lori are on the ground. What the fuck? "Get Up," I told them, grabbing Sabrina's arm and pulling it up. She looks at me wide-eyed."Why did you both drop? Are you okay? " I asked. "Your wolf is very powerful," Lori said. At once, I felt a burn in my stomach. I lifted my sh
Jasmine Pov On the day of my 18th birthday, I was told by Alpha Ned to clean up the packhouse. He was giving his son Oliver the throne and was inviting the most powerful Alphas around the world to come and visit. I did as he asked and prepared a huge feast. This task left me incredibly busy for the whole day while also trying to ignore the insults thrown at me from the pack, and I was tired after it. When I came back to my hut, there was a note on my bed.There was a note. Jasmine, I knew they would work you to death. My mom had a dress made for you. Come over so we can get dressed together. SabrinaI hadn't even considered going to the celebration, but I know it's wolf law that every wolf in the pack must attend, no matter their rank. I grabbed some underclothes and ran over to Sabrina's house. "About time, you do know the party starts in about an hour, right," Sabrina asks me. "Sorry, I had to cook all of the dinners that they would eat. I just got back", I told her. She throw
