The beginning?
my name is Kloud, I'm the daughter of the Beta. Our pack is the Iapetus moon pack. My life is great. My parents are Alexander and Gabrielle Bowing, they are loving and protective.
My dad is Handsome, he has pale skin and brown wavy hair. his eyes are brown, so kind and soft, I've got his eyes. Dad is soft and strong at the same time, he gives the best hugs.
My mom is beautiful. her brown skin glows. she has thick curly black hair. Her eyes are forest green. when you look into them it's as if you are staring at a tree. My mom is kind and courageous. She always has the answers to any problem I or anyone is having. she was the pack's favorite advice-giver.
My big sister, Stephanie, is usually supportive and a good sister but my mom says Steph is going thru her rebellious teenage stage since turning 16 a few months ago.
Steph is gorgeous. she looks like my dad, copy-paste, she has wavy brown hair that stops in the middle of her back and pale skin. but she has my mom's green eyes. She is strong and courageous.
My little brother, Jasper, is sweet and shy, he follows me everywhere I go. Jasper is adorable, he is 12. he is a mixture of both of our parents. people say his face resembles whichever parent he is standing next to. He has our Dad's pale skin and brown hair and our mom's curly hair and forest green eyes. He is soft and kind.
I look like my mom, I have her thick long curly hair, my skin is Carmel though, a mixture of both my parent's skin tones and of course, I have my father's brown kind eyes but everything else is my mom's. people always say that I'm soft and kind but also strong and courageous.
We live in a nice big house on the pack territory, being the beta makes my father second in command. Makes our family very important to the pack.
Victor and Victoria Prince are my and my sibling's Godparents and they're also the Alpha and Luna of our pack. Luna Victoria is beautiful, she has brown straight hair that's never out of place and fair skin, she always spends time with us, she is like a second mom to me.
Alpha Victor is strong, he has blond hair and icy blue eyes that when he is angry people say just glancing into his eyes makes you shiver.
The Alpha and Luna have a son named Shylar, they say he looks just like his father but Alpha Victor keeps him on a strict schedule and has him training all the time to be the best Alpha. It seems that every time my family sees him I'm always busy so I have yet to meet him.
My sister Steph use to spend a lot of time with me and my brother but lately, she'd rather be with her new friends and is always throwing fits with my parents. My parents are patient and love us all.
I was 14 when a pack of rogues killed my parents. The day my great life was ruined and shattered. I was outside in the backyard when I heard loud yelling. My sister was hanging with friends and my little brother was away at camp.
So who was my parent yelling at? as I went to go check it out, walking out the front door where the yelling is coming from, all of a sudden I see my parents facing a bunch of rogue wolves. as I emerged from the front door all eyes turn to me.
“ Mommy, what’s going on?” I ask but as the last word left my mouth all the rogues started running toward me and my mother screamed “ KLOUD RUN” and with that, she and my dad shifted trying to get to me before the rouges did.
as they were fighting to get past them, I was knocked down and when I turned there was a big grey wolf with piercing green eyes starring down at me, the look in his eyes was the most intense wanting I’ve never seen.
As he tries to get closer my father tackles him and they begin to fight. I watched my parents attacking and fighting the rogues trying to keep them away from me.
I noticed all the rogues seem to be fighting to get past my parents to get to me but my parents tried to fight but as I watch the rogues slaughter my parents I couldn’t help to think about what I did to anger them and make them come after me.
I sat there in tears holding my father, whose throat was ripped out by the grey wolf, trying to keep him alive all the rogues turned to me and as they approached they heard my pack coming from a distance, so they scattered.
As I looked up from my father's body I see my sister, along with the Alpha and a few other pack members starring at me in anger as if it was my fault.
The Alpa really hated me because my father was his Beta and best friend, that was about six years ago now I’m the pack's slave, the unwanted, an imposter in my own family.
ever since that day, everybody blamed everything on me saying that I must have had my first shift and lost control and killed my parents. From that day on I was never to shift again and I was treated as a slave doing everything for the pack cleaning, cooking, laundry, earns.
Being bullied and verbally abused but the person who treated me the worst, who beat me was my own sister, Stephanie.
she is my older sister and she treated me worst than anybody. she let all her friends treat me like s**t and hit me too, especially the “Queen bee” Zara.
Zara Richardson is the poster girl for a mean girl. Blond, thin and dressed to the 9s at all times. she expects everyone to do as she says and if someone does something she doesn't like, she makes it her mission to destroy them,
I'm not sure what her problem with me is? I must have breathed wrong or something. I try to stay out of her way but sometimes I get tired of getting pushed around.
All of them did whatever Zara said and Zara hates me, but what hurts worse is the fact that my own sister hates me more, my brother Jasper, is the youngest out of us three.
I use to be his favorite. I remember how he looked up to me, how I use to read stories to him, how anytime he was in trouble he would come to me.
My mom use to joke that he treated me more like a second mom instead of a sister. He’s mean to me too but not as much as Steph and her friends.
At least he doesn’t hit me, he’s mostly verbally abusive. I’m the runt of the pack only cause I’ve been beaten, bullied, and treated as such.
And even tho all this has happened I still have one thing that keeps me hopeful for my future.
A way out of this loneliness, someone out there made especially for me by the moon goddess herself, MY MATE. I can’t wait to meet him, to have someone to love me, and for me to have someone to love, the other half of my heart.
Tonight is the son of the Alphas ceremony to become the next leader of our pack, our new Alpha. I’ve been cooking, cleaning, and ironing everyone's clothes for tonight all day to get ready and make sure everything is perfect, or else the Alpha will blame me.
As I finish up, I grab a quick shower in the girl's room, then I rush outside to the back of the house where my room is in the garage to get ready.
I pick out the dress that looks the most decent which is a plaid purple dress that’s 2 sizes too big and is completely worn, the texture is not what it should be, it's thin like the threads have given up trying to hold together.
I haven’t had new clothes since my parents passed. I grew out of most of my clothes, I’ve been able to stretch some of them but mostly wearing dresses as shirts.
It's not easy fitting a 20-year-old in clothes made for a 14-year-old but me getting new clothes is far from ever happening the pack feels I don’t deserve new clothes or decent clothes since I’m not to leave the territory or be seen by anyone, them included.
So it didn’t matter what I was wearing and the Alpha always said he wasn’t spending pack money on a murderer, on occasion I was able to get some clothes that were thrown in the trash by some of the pack members.
As I got dressed, looking down at the dress, hating how it looked like a sheet thrown over a chair, swallowing any trace that there’s a body underneath it, mostly on the fact that I don’t eat only getting scraps of the fest I have to prepare.
I played music as I got ready a few years back a pack member threw their old iPhone away I discovered it while I was changing all the trashes in the Packhouse its beat up the screens cracked and it's not on I just use it for music luckily it saved the wifi so I didn’t have to ask for the password.
which no one would have given me, for all I know if one of them knew I had this they would take it from me thank goddess for headphones, I love music, if I didn’t have music I don’t know if I would survive.
As I walk around the party excited cause I’m never allowed to attend any gatherings, I’m not even allowed to eat with my pack but since this is the new alpha ceremony every member is to attend. I look around at all the faces, seeing smiles and laughter in awe at the sight not really believing most of them can make those expressions.
Seeing as they’re never pointed at me I only ever see glares, scowls, or dagger eyes thrown my way. I see Zara and my sister pointing at me and laughing so I decided to show them that they haven’t broken me.
I lifted my head and walked right past them but while I was passing my sister knocks me down on the floor and as I stare up at her, trying to see if this really is the same sister who would play dress up with me, who I use to share all my secrets with.
Steph was my best friend as well as my sister, and while I was still on the ground trying to figure this out in my head, I hadn’t noticed Zara going to the drink table and grabbing a cup of punch and poured it all over me. On the only dress, I had.
I laid there in shock and embarrassed. someone announces that the new alpha has arrived, and everyone looks away waiting for the new Alpha like nothing ever happened.
like they all just weren’t pointing and laughing at me, I finally stand and get a napkin from one of the tables to try and dry myself off as it's too late to run and change. As I’m patting my dress dry I smell the most AMAZING scent.
It was something I’ve never smelled before but I was already in love with it. It was cedar mixed with cotton a woodsy mixed with fresh laundry.
The next thing I know I saw him and as I stared into his icy blue eyes my whole body stop and I mean everything, it was like time had frozen, and all I could do is stare at him, my mate, my beautifully handsome mate, he was tall, 6 ft if not taller, he had blond hair that was faded on the side with about 3 or 4 inches on top.
He was wearing a tight black button-down with black dress paints equally as tight and a dark gray blazer that hugged his mussels so good.
You could see some tattoos peeking thru at his neck and falling from his blazer to his hands and just like that I thought about how I finally had someone, that I wasn’t alone anymore, how we were going to be so happy he and I, I’d do anything for him, ill make sure I’m the perfect mate.
Finally, the mood goddess has blessed me with a light to get through all this darkness I’ve been in for the past six years. As I’m staring into his eyes I see a glimpse of longing and love in them, but it was quickly replaced by disgust and anger.
I try to approach him but I stopped when a man walked over to him and said “ congratulations Alpha, I’m sure you’ll be a great leader for our pack”. And with that, I was shocked the new Alpha was my mate.
As the man walked away my mate rushed toward me and instead of the loving hug I expected he grabbed me by my arm dragged me into the next room and locked the door behind me.
“mate” I said lovely and instead of the same loving tone in return I got back anger. “ MATE, I could never be your mate” he said and as he walked toward me in a threatening way he said, “ don’t ever call me that, the moon goddess would never play such a cruel joke as to make you my mate."
“ but we are mates don’t you feel it, I promise I’ll never let you down, I’ll love you always, and we’re going to be so happy. I just know it.” I said. “my name is.” I began to say before he cut me off.
“ I know your name “ he said. The look on his face was not of love, it scared me. With that look, I started to see my hope fade away. so I thought maybe if I get closer he’ll feel it more, as I reach out to touch him he pushes me away and I find myself on the ground for the second time today.
He bends down laughing and says “ you really thought I’d let a psycho be my mate and lune, look at you, you can’t even control your shift, you can’t even do what makes us who we are”. His words stabbed through my heart, as I look up at the one person who was to love me.
I feel my tears pouring down my face, and then he said the one sentence that has killed before. "I Shylar Prince reject Kloud Bowing as my MATE” on instinct I jumped up and ran toward him crying “ please, please don’t do this” and just as before he pushed me but instead of just falling to the ground.
he pushed me into the table that was in the room and as I fell onto it the corner stabbed into my side and as I tried to lessen the impact I slipped and I and everything on the table went crashing to the floor, make a loud sound “ shut up before someone hears you and finds us together” he said and stormed out.
I lay there hoping this is all a dream but as time passes realization hits and I find myself running from the room, feeling the urge to be outside finding it hard to breathe. I see Zara and Shylar in the hall kissing and with that, I rushed out through the door into the woods and collapsed I cried everything out and after a while, I felt the most excruciating pain I thought it was impossible to feel any worst.
It felt as if there was a lightning bolt that stuck right through my chest. I couldn’t breathe, it was like my lungs were tied in knits refusing to let air in or out. as I scream trying to figure out what was happening when I hear a woman’s voice.
I looked around frantic searching for a face “ you won’t find one it's me, Aylin, your wolf, I’m inside you,” and then she let out a howl of pain, a sound that you wouldn’t think could possibly be made.
As I roll around in pain trying to cover my ear to block out the sound she was making, even tho it's not possible with her being in my head. I stop and yelled, “ what is happening?” And she responds with “ our mate is with another, he f*****g someone else” and after that, I just laid there feeling nothing.
I was broken. it was like my heart and soul everything keeping me alive was tore apart leaving an empty shell, which is now me. the worst thing for a wolf is being rejected and betrayed. I had nothing left. why am I even alive.
