New life
Raelynn
The leaves crunched under my feet as I walked to the car and placed my luggage in the booth.
I walked to the driver's seat and drove off.
Today I am going to my stepdad's pack.
A Pack, yes a Wolf Pack, the Blood Moon Pack. I still can't believe it.
I am Raelynn Keller, a single child who lives with her mom, Rachel Keller, in a small apartment in the city.
Well, that just changed ...
A week ago, if you told me werewolves existed, I would have laughed at your face.
It was all fiction, I thought, but reality hit me hard in the face when my mom told me that we were wolves.
I always thought my mom and real Dad, James Wilson, divorced because he cheated on her when I was 5 years old, and he stopped visiting me when I was 13 because he wanted nothing to do with us.
But the truth is, he found his mate when my mom was pregnant with me and cheated on her, his chosen mate with his real mate.
He didn't want to accept her because she was an omega, even though she was his real Mate and pregnant also.
He thought my mom's pup would be stronger since she is an Alpha female and wanted to keep her around till she gave birth.
When my mom found out his truth I was 5 years old, she left him and their pack, the Crystal Moon Pack.
He used to visit me till I was 13 years old and stopped afterward when I didn't get my wolf like his other daughter Claire.
He stuck around all this while because he thought I would have a stronger wolf than his other daughter who was born to an omega.
To his disappointment, I didn't, and he didn't think I would get a strong wolf, if any at all, since children of Alphas got their wolves at 13 years old.
I still remember that day as he walked away with disappointed eyes.
I wasn't aware at the time and thought he left us for his other family, which is technically true, but it still hurts nonetheless.
Worse still, he cut off our connection with the Pack, making us rogues, as my mom explained.
My eyes watered a little.
"Real strong ones take time sweetie, mom said to console me, though that didn't help much.
I was initially angry at my mom for not telling me the truth earlier about my identity and his abandonment.
But she apologized and explained she never thought I'd get my wolf and didn't want to hurt me further, so she decided not to join any other pack and live among humans.
She only chose to tell me because she had found her real mate, Damien Albert, and we are both going to be joining his Pack.
I honestly still felt frustrated, but I accepted her explanation and didn't make things difficult because I didn't want to hurt her further.
She has done a lot for me and her happiness is my top priority.
She deserves to be happy after spending so many years taking care of me now that she has finally met her real mate.
Surprisingly, they live in a small town just two hours away from the city we live in.
He was the Beta of the Blood Moon Pack before the New Alpha. Damon Almond took over from his father with a new Beta.
Damien still helps his pack even though he has retired.
He has no children and his previous mate died in a car accident and Mom is his second chance mate.
Damien is sweet and kind and always smiles at mom, showering her with all the love she deserves.
The Almond family own many businesses in the city and are said to rule Lake River town, which I always thought was just a joke, but it's the truth.
They met when he went to inspect the restaurant they owned, and she worked as a manager and everything worked like magic.
The smile on my mom's face is the confirmation that I needed to know this was the right decision.
Damien is 6''4'tall and has black hair and blue eyes, while my Mom is a petite blonde with emerald eyes.
I got her eyes, but that's as far as our resemblance goes.
I am pretty tall, 5'9, with a C cup, thick thighs and curly brown hair framing my face.
They look good together, and I wish them all happiness and maybe a child.
Anyway, I still feel all this is a dream.
Ouch!
I pinched myself for the umpteenth time to check if this was true.
Again, it's confirmed it's true by the excruciating pain I feel in my thick thighs.
Honestly, I wonder if I will get a wolf.
Mom told me it was possible to get it on my 18th birthday, which is in a month.
I just hope so or else how am I going to survive among wolves?
My father is an Alpha male and my mom an Alpha female, so I think I will become a strong wolf like in all werewolf stories and hopefully slap my father in the face for choosing his other daughter.
He could have loved us both equally.
The thought still put tears into my eyes.
Nonetheless, the idea of having a constant companion who is a part of me is exciting.
I am bad at making friends and a serious introvert, so hopefully, I will get a wolf who will not require an effort to befriend.
My car speeded down the highway as I headed to the Blood Moon Pack, lost in thought, wondering what my fate would be in the new Pack.
The doors parted as I reached the gates of the Blood Moon Pack, ushering me in into the Pack and a New Life.
