Chapter 1

• I woke up before the sun could rise and quickly stepped out of my bed feeling weak, but yet, I dared not lie back or I would have my bones broken. I would be beaten like a non-living thing!
• I can just call myself a slave, an omega, or maybe lower than all this. What do you expect from a wolf who is awkward, strange, and demon-like? I'm termed "rejected. Everyone in the Silver Moon Pack treats me like a slave because I was born causing pain instead of joy, which other pups bring when born.
• It was terrible to be hated from birth for something you know nothing about, and I grew up to discover what I did and how odd I am.
• My dad had been hating me and always got enraged each time he saw me. He kept telling me how much he regretted being my father. He won't also stop threatening to kill or banish me.
• All this was because I killed my mother, but was that the truth?
• I have no right to justify, that's what everyone concluded. My mother passed away after going through a very painful labor.
• She made sure I never die and risked her life to give birth to me. The pain of labour through which she passed that night was still lingering on everyone's lips. I heard she was convulsing; I heard her legs were full of blood, I heard many things that were so painful.
• I can't help but wonder how she could have felt, how she must have cursed me for making her go through such an excruciating pain.
• It was said that when her scream became so intense, my dad, who was also feeling the pain of his mate, left the waiting room and barged into the labour room to check on her.
• So he saw how painful the labor was and ordered them to kill me so as to save his beloved wife. But then, right in his eyes, she made the last attempt to give birth to me, and she succeeded.
• I finally came out, but at the same time, she fell into a coma.
• Later that day, my mom died, and that was the same time my strange appearance came in.
• My different coloured eyes and the burning power within me. I knew I was a wolf, but at the same time, I was something else. It was like my body was divided into two. I could feel another strange power within me, but I can't use it and I'm weak all the time.
• Dad had mated with another werewolf, and they had gotten two children; a boy and a girl, aged 16 and 15, respectively. They are an addition to my pain.
• Walking out of the room, my eyes caught my reflection in the mirror, and I shut my eyes, not wanting to see more of my miserable self.
• My name is Elena, I have a surname, Wolve, but I don't tell people because no one would believe it, except those who knew me when I was born.
• Who would believe I am the daughter of Wolve, the Alpha king, a name feared by the other packs around us? My father, Daren Wolve, had risen to great power and authority after he conquered two packs and took over it. This made other packs respect him like a god because he was so powerful and his wolf was one of the most furious.
• I opened my eyes and moved the fringe of my dirty brown hair, which was crying to be washed and permed to look straight and beautiful like it should be.
• My eyes were still heavy and I wished to sleep more. After having a late night, I needed more sleep, but I dared not go back to bed or I would miss my daily chores, which was going to lead to another round of beating.
• Today, I would finally be sneaking to school. Yes, I have made up my mind to have a glimpse of that great school where different wolves from other packs gather for learning. I know I am forbidden from stepping out, but my curiosity won't let me be. I have already found a secret passageway. My father and his luna, along with the beta, would be visiting a neighboring pack.
• Today is my only opportunity and I just can't lose it, as the only people who had eyes on me are leaving, so I should go over and have a glance before running back.
• My father kept me bound in the house out of shame, as he believed I would disgrace his lineage if people saw me. I was his first heir, but came with nothing but sadness. Taking his beloved wife made him sad, and for sure, his hatred for me would never go away till his death.
• I'm rejected by him. His heart rejects everything about me, and that makes me a slave instantly, instead of a royal princess. Well, he doesn't even regard me as his daughter.
• I'm 16 years old and yesterday was my first day of wolf shifting. It was so painful, the pain was excruciating. I was in my room all alone as I first successfully turned into a wolf. I thought I was going to die as my bones cracked and heat filled me up.
• I cried as it all happened. My skin was on fire; my inner energy seemed to be seeping away. All my muscles grew and reformed. You can't tell how glad I was and how glad my wolf Lena was after I succeeded. It kept leaping because it was finally free.
• I was also happy and knew soon it would be easy to shift without any pain, but something was strange after that shift. I felt another animal in me; I felt something else in me, like another type of beast, but I can't tell you what it was. Each time I try talking to it, there is no reply. It seems to be sleeping.
• Well, I don't care much about it. At least I'm not pregnant and it isn't affecting my wolf.
• I didn't get much time to enjoy my wolf being as I turned back to my human nature to complete my endless chores.
• I looked back at the mirror and hissed, reciting my daily prayer. "Can this different coloured eyeball be removed, please?..." I pleaded to the moon goddess in my mind.
• "Elena, you have wasted a lot of time. Be quick and let's head to school, I can't wait to see the other handsome wolves. Who knows, my mate would be there!" Lena, my inner wolf, said to me, and I smiled at it.
• "With these blue and red eyes and the fact that my birth killed the Luna, do you think we have a chance for a mate?" I shrugged, feeling another wave of rejection.
• "Oh, God!!.. Elena, she is coming!" My wolf screamed, and I knew who it was already.
• Elf, my stepmother.
• Gosh!!
• I quickly ran instinctively to the kitchen at an extremely high speed. I arranged the plates by size before I started washing.
• "Oh, it worked...my lie made you begin your chores quickly...". Lena chuckled, making me laugh too.
• She is just my reason to be happy. She is the only living being who hasn't rejected me.
• After some minutes, I was done. I picked up the broom and began to sweep the whole sitting room and hallways.
• I was bent over sweeping the last hallway, feeling very tired but unable to even rest. Today is different. A little mistake from me and Dad would shatter my little joy of going to school, so I need to please him all the more, even if it is impossible for him to notice.
• My legs quivered as more waves of weakness rushed through me.
• I was even feeling drowsy.
• Just then, the broom stick hit someone on the head as I raised it awkwardly out of tiredness.
• I looked up weakly, and shock swept through me.
• There was Elf, the new Luna, the second wife of my father, my second mother, huh? There is no need to call her my mother because she isn't. Her hatred for me can't be measured.
• " I'm...sorry...I..."
• My voice was cut short with a painful slap that sent me to the ground.
• "You can never kill me like you killed your mother, you little devil!" She yelled angrily, her face turning red as she gave me another kick on my belly, making me yelp.
• She picked up the broom and slammed it against my back, sending a rush of unimaginable pain all over me.
• Just then, so strangely, I felt the urge to shift and devour her. It wasn't to shift into a wolf, but to something else that seemed to be that sleeping beast in me.
