PROLOGUE
When I was thirteen my mom and dad took me on a stroll one evening, which was something special we did together each week.
The smell of the woods was wonderful, fresh and homey. The smell of the pine trees always brought me comfort. It was warm and beautiful outside. The moon was shining bright, and the sky was open, clear and breath takingly beautiful.
We walked and talked about our week and shared events and milestones that we reached. It's about this time that dad usually starts teasing mom and as if on cue he starts to tickle her, and we both start running with him chasing us. After a while we collapse in a clearing and just lay there laughing and looking up at the stars. I felt so extremely happy and blessed. They start laughing again and give me a hug and tell me they love me and that they love our walks.
"I love you guys too, so much."
All of a sudden dad straightened up pulling me and mom close. I saw he smelled the air and knew something was off. I was so scared, and I had this deep dark feeling that something life changingly bad was going to happen.
"Rogues" mom asked
"Yes", stay close dad replied
"The pack is on their way" said dad in a whisper to us
He pushed us behind him as three growling angry looking huge rogue's wolves appeared.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? My dad demanded as they just keep circling us
My dad started to change as did my mom. I so wished at that moment I could change and join my parents at protecting us and our pack. Two rogues where circling my dad and one was slowly coming our way with a menacing smirk on his wolf face.
My mom looked at me with her wolf eyes as to reassure me and I touch her and say, I am not scared but knew mom knew I was lying as my heart was about to climb out of my throat, just then the rogue came at me and mom. Mom reacted so fast by jumping in front of me. The rogue collided with my mom and rolled a few times before coming to a standstill. I saw that mom was not moving and then I saw the blood and realized that he has ripped her throat out.
I screamed as I fall to my knees and feel the tears stream down my face. I crawl to my mom and clutch her as tightly as I could. Her limb cold body feeling so small and fragile in my arms. As I look up, I saw my dad look back at us and collapse at the loss and pain from losing he's mate and the mate bond breakage. He howled so loud that I could feel he's pain vibrate through me. I heard the pack howl in the distance and knew they felt the loss of their Luna.
The two rogues chose that moment to jump him, and I saw defeat, sorrow and an apology in his eyes. The rogues tore him apart piece by piece and he let them. Not wanting to live life without his mate.
I dropped to my knees sobbing and didn't care if I was next. I was aware of the rogues circling me and rage started to build up in me. I started shaking and feeling warm as a radiant golden light burst though me like a volcano erupting. I felt my bones break, but it was as if the light numbed the pain and before I knew it, I was laying there in wolf form.
Shocked to my core as its extremely extraordinary and rare for wolves to have their first change at 13, normally wolves have their first change at 16 and normally don't have light coming from their bodies.
I looked up at the rogues and saw the shock and fear in their eyes as they whimpered and ran away. I suddenly have tis strong urge to go after them as but then hear the pack.
I started my shift back as my brothers burst through the woods. The shock on their faces as they look around breaks my heart. I finished my first change and felt so drained. I sit on my knees as the tears continued to flow.
"Three rogues. ran off in that direction" I told them
I saw some of the pack run after the rogues, but my brothers stayed with me. As I looked up to them, I was offended and hurt to find disgust and hate on their faces.
The shock on their faces turned to horror and they stepped closer and spoke
"What the fuck are you?" Sam my eldest brother said
"Sammy, come on! I'm a wolf like you. Please Sammy the three rogues went that way" I said
"NO! FOR ALL WE KNOW YOU KILLED THEM! YOU'RE NOT MY SISTER, YOUR AN ABOMINATION AND YOUR DEAD TO US TOO! DEAD YOU HEAR ME, DEAD!" Sam yelled
The words just lit the torn pieces of my heart on fire, and I just couldn't believe that my brother could be so cruel
"Sammy please the rogues went that way! Why won't you believe me! Mom and Dad would have! I don't know why I change now but I swear there where three rogues!". I said sobbing
... Slap.
Shocked took over as I grabbed my cheek and looked at the man that was supposed to be my brother as he walks over to my parent's dead bodies.
... He was supposed to protect me...
... He was supposed to love me...
I knew deep down that life as I knew it was over and that it will never be the same. My abnormal change has freaked out my brothers and instead of loving and supporting me they chose to hate and reject me. What did I ever do to deserve this? I take a deep breath and feel numbness flow through me as I faint and pray that tomorrow wil be better...
