Halloween! The beta's daughter

chapter one

"Did you hear? Alpha Claudio is coming back today! I'm so excited and I hope I'm his mate!" One of the three girls, in the bathroom said, all three of them squeaking and hugging each other.

"Did you just say alpha Claudio is coming back?" I asked feeling a rush of excitement bubble inside of me.

Claudio was my first love and first everything, the only person that never cared about my looks.

He was the only friend I had in this pack since no one ever wanted to associate or even speak to me except the alpha and Luna of course. Everyone else just ignored my existence entirely.

You must be wondering why no one wanted to associate with me, well let me give a quick introduction.

My name is Angel Romano the beta's daughter but everyone calls me Halloween because apparently I look like a ghost. Well not really an actual ghost, I just have really white, like pure white skin with naturally deep with streaks of bright blue hair.

Yep all the hairs on my body is blue and because of this, everyone is afraid to associate with me.

Even my own mother abandoned me right after I was born calling me an abomination and only the alpha and Luna ever treated me like I mattered especially the Luna.

She's always sweet and kind to me and provides me with everything that I require.

"Did you guys hear something?" One of the girls, Lucy asked, all three girls looked around the bathroom.

One of them, Jane even looked straight at me but like always, she pretended like she didn't see me and simply said,

"It must have been a bug or something, ignore it,"

"Yeah, as I was saying, the mating ball is next week and alpha Claudio will finally be choosing his future Luna," Lucy continued saying while I just stood there like a statue watching them finished up their business and leave the bathroom.

I should have gotten used to people treating me as though I'm invisible by now but I just couldn't help but be sad.

For once I wished I had a friend or someone close who I can talk to and rely on.

Shaking my and making peace with my situation, I washed my hands and took out my hair brush, destructing myself.

I had a reason to be happy, Claudio was coming back home after two years.

I couldn't help but smile to myself.

At least I won't be lonely anymore because before he left, he promised to come back just for me.

"It's been two years angel," my wolf Lyca said in my head, "what if like everyone else, he will also pretend like we are invisible?"

"He can't do that!" I quickly defend, "he promised to come back for me, to us,"

"It's been two years with no contact Angel, people change,"

"I won't allow your negativity to destroy my joy!" I said to her, blocking her off.

I wasn't in the mood to hear anything negative about Claudio. What mattered the most was the fact that he promised to come back to me.

I continued brushing my hair then tied it up in a half do, once I was done, I put a little bit of pink lipstick on my lips then added a little brown eyeliner in my eyes.

I put mascara on my eyelashes then nicely and neatly brushed my eyebrows.

Once I was done, I looked myself in the mirror and I couldn't help but smile at the work I had done, I looked beautiful well I knew I was beautiful with or without make up, the only thing that made me ugly was my skin color and my hair but otherwise I knew I was pretty no doubt.

I fixed up my clothes which was just high waist black jeans with a black crop top. I never wore white or any other bright colored clothes because each time I did, people especially kids ran away from me, screaming ghost.

I only ever wore bright colors when going to bed.

After finishing up, I walked out of the bathroom only to collide head on with a super strong wall.

The force from the collision had me falling face flat on the floor.

"Ahh," I winced in pain holding my head.

"Can't you look where you are going?" I muttered more to myself because I knew that whoever bumped into me, must have run off a long time ago.

"Oh gosh Halloween, are you alright?" I heard an all so familiar voice say.

Just hearing the voice, I felt depressed and ready to die.

Out of all the people in this school I just had to bump into Benson, my immediete elder sister and future beta Phoebe's mate and also the man that kick started the "let's hate Angel and call her Halloween" train.

He was my biggest bully and a day never passed by without him making fun of my looks and coming up with more annoying names!

He was the reason why everyone pretended like I didn't exist and also the one that turned the rest of my sisters against me.

"Here let me help," he stretched out his hand to help me up but I completely ignored and helped myself up instead.

"You look pretty, did you also deck yourself up for the alpha?" he said laughing but all I did was glare at him.

"You look cute when you glare and hey, maybe the alpha will ignore all these beautiful girls and chose the ugly duckling," Everyone who was in the hallway laughed and I heard them mutter about how the "ghost" had a crush on the alpha and was willing to through herself in his bed.

"You are the worst!" I muttered under my breath dusting my clothes.

Not willing to hear any more insults, I turned on my heels about to walk off but --

"Claudio is here ahhh!!" one of the girls screamed running towards the school entrance.

In just a matter of seconds, there was a stampede as everyone both male and female rushed out going to meet him, leaving the hallway empty with only me and Benson left.

Excited to go meet my first love, I equally walked over to the entrance but Benson held my arm saying,

"Hey I was only joking about you being ugly, don't take it to heart. You look beautiful and ---" he looked me up and down then added,

"Hot even, those jeans are showcasing your curves making you look hotter,"

I saw him lick his lips and not wanting to be sexually harassed by my own brother in law, I shoved his hand away, gave him the middle finger then walked outside where everyone was.

You must be wondering where I got the courage from, well I was fade up with his antics and I just wanted to do something that would piss him off and hopefully make him leave me alone.

"All my God he looks so sexy and tall and gosh I want him for myself!" Amanda my little sister who was only a year younger than me happily said talking to her friends while I stood there trying to catch a glimpse of him but there were people left right and centre.

"Look at those abs," I heard my other sister Phoebe say, "if I wasn't mated, I would have definitely thrown myself at him!"

"Girl, chill. Benson might hear!" Her friend Meena scolded and both girls giggled.

I tried to jump up to see if I could get a glimpse of the hot man but someone shoved me off and I lost my balance.

I let out a small scream about to fall face flat again but thankfully I felt strong arms wrap around me breaking the fall.

" you okay?" I groaned out when I heard the same annoying voice that belong to Benson.

"You are so clumsy today," he spoke with a chuckle while setting me on my feet.

"Thank you," I responded walking away from him.

"You are welcome beautiful,"

'what's wrong with him today?' I thought to myself wondering why he kept calling me beautiful instead of his usual bad name callings.

"Can you smell that?" Lyca who had suddenly unblocked herself spoke in my head.

"Smell what?" I asked and as if on cue,

a strong scent of pines and freshly cut grass wafted my nose.

"It smells so good!" I muttered taking in another deep breath completely ignoring the fact that I was here to see my best friend and first love.

"Where is it coming from?" I asked her taking in deep sniffs and letting my legs lead me there.

"It's our mate! He's here," she howled in my head and my heart beat accelerated as the thought of meeting my mate excited me to the core.

They say mates are the only ones who can love us for being us and even though I was considered as a ghost, one thing I knew for sure was that my mate was going to love me despite all that.

A loud growl erupted from behind me that made everyone go silent and I knew for a fact that that was an alpha's growl.

"It's probably Claudio, maybe their chatters and squeaks annoyed him," I thought to myself.

Maybe I should glance at him just once, then I will go look for my mate.

I strained my head to look passed them many heads of students but being a 5"3 girl, I was too short to look passed them, I resulted into pushing my way through the crowd until I found myself in the front, coming face to face with him, Claudio the man I loved.

I looked him from head to bottom and I couldn't help but drool at how handsome and well built he was.

He looked sexy indeed.

I hungrily stared at his arms remembering how he had them wrapped around me when we had s*x for the first time two years ago. I wonder how they would feel again.

I looked at his wide open mouth and I couldn't help but caress my lips while imagining his mouth on mine.

"He's our mate!" Lyca loudly screamed in my head and I widened my eyes staring at him only to find him mirroring my expression.
