  • INTRODUCTION
  • Dear journal,
  • I have six more months of college. Thank God. I swear the pack is getting restless since our Alpha hasn't been able to close the last two deals. I guess Carla and Darlene haven't been sucking up as much. Gafford has been throwing me more jobs and so far i have quite of bit of money saved up. In six months I will be overseas and getting away from everyone. Dave our general has been watching me very closely lately. He gives me the creeps. Ever since i turned sixteen he has been watching every little thing I do. I don't know why? I mean he has Carla and Darlene at his beck and call. Whenever I go to do my chores he seems to bump up against me. When I go to work at the garage he sends his men with me after an hour they leave. Good thing Gafford keeps me out of sight. After turning eighteen two months ago, I have seen several of the pack members whisper then when I come in they go silent. It's like they know something, and to be honest. I hope whatever it is can wait till after I leave here. Well tomorrow is class and then i get the next day off. I swear the laundry and the dishes and sweeping the porch is for the birds. If I ever get my own home, it won't be a huge house. A cottage out in the woods with nothing but trees. Here there is no privacy. Thursday, I believe they are hosting a party for the ones who are looking for mates. Because I am not a werewolf only a half-breed. Well I am excluded from going. Stephen decided that I should be forever the house keeper or some old maid. I did however go to my mother's grave. They didn't bury her on the pack's designated area. No my mother was buried in the remote woods. Just because my mother didn't marry the Alpha then she chosen someone else. I am to blame. I mean yeah Stephen is good looking but not my type at all. Several of the she-wolves here and wherever he goes drool at his presence. I must be weird. I wouldn't mind meeting a foreigner like a highland wolf or even Russian wolf. However I doubt if anyone would want a bastard. Yep that is what they call me when i screw up. I looked up the word for myself other than being a cuss word. it also means illegitimate birth. Well after scrubbing and being the Cinderella for this pack house to crap on. I am tired. At least I get reprieve at school. Just normal like everyone unless until I come home.
  • Night journal.
  • Elena closing her journal then looking to her tiny room. She was grateful that at least it was her own room. The whelps on the other side of the pack house had to share till they were at least sixteen. Then they were taken to the cabins. Where they were trained for their "jobs". They would have to earn their spots. In order for them to become full fledge pack members, they would have to go through the ancient ways which lasted for two years. She herself wasn't given the option so she was allowed to go to public schooling and allow to go through trade school. Stephen didn't want to waste time on her and as long as she did her chores and helped with the whelps. Elena had freedom but it wasn't acceptable for her to be part of the pack's functions. So her freedom was their way of getting rid of her. Which it was okay by her since they treated her like some diseased peasant. She did get to go to her prom and her own high school graduation. Though she had no one in her corner but Gafford, who was still her boss. He and his pack showed up and that meant so much. Gafford appreciated her work and her ethics and his children though they were older and already married taught her so much. His daughters took her shopping at times. His oldest son got her into welding which she was able to go through trade school quicker because of his tutoring her. She graduated high school when she was seventeen and finished trade school right when she turned eighteen. She decided that once she was done with college which in six months she could do schooling online. she could go overseas. That was her plan was to go to Scotland and venture further to Romania.
