Jaime POV

“Let me in now, Susie.” I say as I can hear them talking amongst them, I need these moments to make up for the horrible choices my dad and I took, how the hell was I supposed to know she would be a Luna. Ugh, “Maybe they are busy Jaime, leave them be”, says my Beta Callum, I breathe heavily knowing I really don’t need this right now.

As we walk in I can see who is in the room surprised to see Kia one of my omegas here, she is lucky Callun as a freaking crush on her, the girl is no way in our level of command, but Callum feels otherwise, he better be telling me the truth or I am banishing her, one less mouth to feed.

I stop in front of the Luna, yea I know I am in just gym shorts with Callum but maybe I get some points by being her secret model, “I am sorry for interrupting this gathering but I wanted to make sure you were being well taken cared of Luna Reemy and Samie, it has been some time since we last saw each other.'' With a smile on my face,Reemy was kicked out when she divorced my Gamma with Susie and Sam, uncommon to hear but it happens, they were never fated but chosen, then one day she met her fated, Alpha Dante.

Susie came back a couple of years ago because her dad was in a Rogue attack, knowing she doesn’t trust my dad and me.

Susie POV

I stand at the door just stary, trying not to drool, I mean i have Mykel, I like him a lot but when Jaime is around I don’t know I just,“Thank you, we are all fine, we will see you at 8, Alpha Jaime and Beta Callum.” My mom says in a dry voice, she does not like him one bit, not long after Mykel enter’s with like 4 boxes of pizza and two bags on his other hand that has my dress on top, I forgot the door was still open, startelling us all even Beta Callum.

“S**t did you scare the wolf out of me, Mykel, what are you doing all that by yourself? Where are the omegas?” says Callum, who is still nervous, Kia is holding a small giggle after his reaction, she goes to Mykel and grabs his bags, leaving him with just the pizza boxes.

“Well don’t we have a full house?” He comes over and kisses me. I knew he wasn’t that mad at me, I'm a good girl, as Alpha and Beta leave the room, Mykel waits for me to make sure I have everything and when I do he leaves us all but takes 2 boxes. Saying it’s his tip for the trouble, I laugh at that.

We eat the food and chill for a bit as mom tells me the new member in her pack and the random attacks of Rogues that have been going, I got a bit scared when Samie said there are new Hunters on the area, I overheard Mykel say something about that not too long ago but that wasn’t so close as being near the border of the packhouse.

Hunters have always wanted to use us werewolves for their own gain, they still believe the legends and kids stories of the Gemini wolf, the Healing wolf, the Spinks and stuff like that. Almost finished with the food I see. It's already 7 and I quickly swallow my food to go get a shower before anyone else.

I enjoy taking my time in the shower, putting on my lotions of roses and honey, I put on my clothes and start doing my hair in loose curls, I leave it down. I put on a smokey eye, mascara and blush with peach lipstick, I get my heels on and turn to the full mirror on the bedroom.

I check myself to make sure nothing looks bad, I walk out to see everyone ready, my mom is wearing s triples red over the knee dress with a french braid in heels, Kia is in a tight, leather turtleneck dress, purple colored with a simple cat eye and pink lips, she has a ponytail on her small square head and Samie is in a green spaghetti dress with flats.

Once we are down, I am surprised to see Beta Callum is there also dressed in purple, he sees Kia coming down and she blushes a bit, I gaaww at them being all cute but he looks daggers at me so I quickly stop. Samie goes with a tuxedo dad to the ball, mom goes with her mate, Alpha Dante and I don’t see Mykel but walking down to the last step I bump into Alpha Lame, greate.

Jaime POV

Later in the night I started doing my greetings. everyone that comes in is going to drive me insane, I need to pull one out or something, do you hear me Kai? I tell my wolf, knowing I have no mate to ravish, makes this part of “Alpha moral” even more a pain in my furry ass. “Good night Alpha Jaime, how has the building been going?” Asks Alpha Dante with his actitud, I get it I have a reputation, big deal, he’s Susie’s step dad, I place a fake smile at his question and extend my hand at the man, we shake.

“I have yet to finish seeing as Alpha Mykel is in doubts, but I might take his advice on placing his warriors to protect that area, just to finish this my pack can’t take another hit like it did a while ago” I tell the guy, all while looking for Susie now that I am thinking again of her, the woman is a sassy big mouth that can get on my last nerves, but man is she hot. Hard to believe she is in lockdown with Mykel, my hero.

He takes his hand away, “I would think of that a bit more than simply accept, perhaps there's another pack that can help you”, he answers me with a cocky smile well let’s see if he is in or not. “Are you offering?”.

He starts to actually laugh at my question, then he starts to walk behind me, it seems odd he would be here so early considering his pack is literally day’s away from mine yet…

“Hello cutie!” howls Kai and actually howls at the sight of Susie. Wow. I stay rooted to the ground as I see Susie walk in her tight dress, leaving very little to the imagination. That's a really woman’s body man would I want to have that tonight, the hit of her smell of chocolate and strawberries get my wolf all riled up again.

“Tell me you can smell that Kai” I ask my wolf, a big dark brown with my eyes, the wolf hasn’t allowed me to be with zero she wolfs after the first 4 months of shifting, I feel like the guy wants me in celibacy for sure. “She is mate, hopefully” he answers with annoyance.

I walk a bit closer as she is looking for her fake puppy of a boyfriend. “Been holding for 2 years and 8 months, we mate tonight” I chuckle at his statement but I am annoyed, he is the one making me hold not the other way, “what if she has no wolf?” I saw walking a bit faster.

“Then we get rid of her, no point on a wofless girl” shaking his head. I approve of that, maybe he will let me have a go on rounds? “Yes, but don’t overdo it, pick a good Luna.” I roll my eyes, of course I want a Luna, I stay still in front of the stairs she is walking down and she bumps into me, perfect.

She puts her hand on my chest, as she does I feel a hand on my shoulders, I look on my back and there is Mykel too charming snob, what does she see in this guy anyway’s. “A rogue is never good news”, can’t deny facts, he has her brainwashed, I shake my shoulder to him and pin Susie as I hear another person take his attention.

Holding her hands in the side of the stairs, I put my nose on the side of her neck breathing her scent. “Looks like you are asking for my attention cutie Susie” she tries to push me away, I place one hand on her neck and the other on her hip, “now why would you want to hurt me? For all you know we are, more closer than this.” I kiss her forehead and Mykel pushes me away from her.

I straightened my blue navy suit and fixed myself, “glad you could join us Mykel”. I say rolling my sleeves back up,Susie hugs him tight, “You scared of just that like? Some Gamma’s daughter I have, scared of the Big Bad Alpha?” I laugh at that joke as does the rest of my pack.

“Picking on her is a low blow Alpha Lame”, Mykel responds with a smirk as he rubs her back to calm her, why does that bother me so much? “She is mate!” my wolf tells me again, but if she was, she would be the one to feel it too.

I look at my watch and it’s already going to be 10, I smile at that. “I do what I want to my pack, all my intentions are good, right Cutie Susie?” my smirk at calling her that is in full display till she goes ahead and ruins my fun. “I am so glad I don't have to stay with a Lame excuse for an Alpha, Baby can we please go?” she asks Mykel that starts to walk away with her, tsk. We will see.

Mykel POV

Finally back in the room Jaime gave me. After I place my clothes out, I shower, taking my time before I get my drama classes back up. Can’t wait for all of this to end, I can’t stand Susies sassy actitud, needy b****y mood, a good smack on her would help her learn her place, wouldt be the first time she earns one either, but since dearest mom and dad divorced, she has been this broken puppy, easy to see when you get to know her.

I met her at a gathering. She was with her dad the Gamma of this pack, I was with a witch disguised as a wolf, when she told me what I have been dying to get my hands on, the red wolf is her, my grandfather was beyond excited to plan her capture, the witch is my fated mate but I need Susie so I had to be on a very long break, when this is over my girl will punish Susie for taking her place.

I just hate Susie in general, she is not my type, in fact she is everything but a woman. The first time I hit her she was in complete shock, but I quickly saw what I did so I hugged her and begged her to not leave me, because I will change for her. Ou I will change alright, but I won't hug her ever again.

As I place the last buttons on my sleeves, I picture what her wolf will be, I know she is the daughter of that healing wolf. My grandfather tried to marry her grandmother years ago, but she met her mate, and so did my grandpa but he still regrets leaving her, he literally found out what she was after he met his mate by accident.

Imagine what joy his own dad felt being a werewolf hunter himself, that is why he is so excited to know there is still hope and so close to, we need her not just to stay healthy, strong and powerful. Something the old nursery stories don’t tell you is that there is always more than just a simple kid's story.

My cell starts to vibrate and there she is my little witch b****, “Tell me she already got her wolf the suspense is killing me.” are the first words she says, I know she is dead tired of Susie who would blame my sexy girl, “sorry baby she is still useless, no wolf yet still not 12” I hear her yell on the other side, “She just needs to do one miserable thing and not even that can she do? F**k, when she does get her furry monster she is healing my anger as a human, with each hit I give her in her very special cage all for little miss luna.”

I love my girl Blaze, she is a hot witch with a model figure. She had brunette-colored hair but after trying to heal my grandpa from his broken shaw she lost some of her power, healing a wolf after a battle with a wizard is not easy to recover alone. My poor girl hates what happened to her, she has brown eyes and is perfect in every way, she dresses mostly in a fashion which for me is a big turn-on, always in blue, “Babe I need to go. I love you?” I don’t hear anything from her end so I hang up.

I got another call from my grandfather this time, “Yes?” is my reply to his call, “Are you in a bad mood already?” I have to breathe a bit, I just can’t handle him at times, I am not doing a single wrong thing with everyone. “No grandad, I am just getting ready and I am growing impatient.”

“Well, I just wanted to call to say, if it doesn’t go thru don’t fear we have planned well, and you have been an excellent boyfriend. Remember the Red Wolf, or Fire Healer, can heal anything, of anyone they choose, just like the story goes. Only the stories don’t say that those who were healed by the red wolf, also gain a year of life, they become stronger, fierce, and more powerful.”

My grandfather says I know this story by memory, but I know it to the point of having my grandfather drooling from it, “ For example, let’s say I break my hand after hearing both you and my girl yelling at me, just cause I need to take my stress out on something. Well, Susie, my Red Wolf heals me with her healing fire, making me a stronger, fierce, and even more powerful Alpha.”

My grandfather chuckles “That's right, now lastly the new hunters arrive tomorrow with their families, remember the deal that was made to them.” he hangs up. I am Alpha now even though my grandfather is alive and well, my dad is another story, my trust in this pack will soon end and I can finally be in a sense of mental peace.

I call my Beta Keanu to make sure the Rogues we made a deal with are ready to take my wolf to my pack, the only reason I visit so much here is so I could plan this attack and take both Red Wolves with me. Tonight, my grandfather will finally have his health back and I will finally destroy this shit of a pack.

“Everything ready?” I speak while taking my things to give them to the omega outside, it takes all of my willpower to smack the cocky face of that little omega.

“Yea I just arrived to oversee things, your dad is staying behind to keep things going.” not yet. I can’t show my real intentions just when I am so close to being, Alpha Jaime always rats me out, he is on to me, acting like I am head over heels to this bimbo is getting to me.

I finish putting my things in their bag, as I walk out of the room, I go into the designated areas I placed the explosives in, once her wolf was out we would take her with us. All was safe and secure, when I walked to the stairs where Susie would walk down from, she was pinned to the wall.

Susie POV

I hold on tight to Mykel, what Jaime did make me feel so wrong like I was a barbie doll or something, I never had someone do that to me, with his Alpha Wolf strength of course I wouldn't be able to fight back, I tighten my grip on Mykel, holding back my anger at how he did that in front of everyone. “Baby are you alright? Or do you want to go? We don’t have to stay if you don’t want to.” I hear Mikel ask me as we walk to the big ballroom.

“No, my mom came all this way for this and I really want to have some fun with my family.” As soon as those words left me he growled at me, I looked up at his expression and he was angry, what the. “Sue! Are you okay?” Kia comes over with a soda for me. I don’t like to drink. I'd rather have soda or coffee, preferably soda. “Alpha Lame had a mini-show with me, and I wasn't really invited.” Kia breathes heavily knowing herself how he can be.

“Well hey at least your mom is here with Samie, still shocked at your stepdad being here, isn’t he an Alpha? I nod at her question, yeap he is but his pack lands are near the coast so he is very far from this pack, I start drinking my soda waiting for Mykel to say something about what happened, but he just keeps checking his cell.

I stay still hearing Kia talk with me on different stuff like the latest she crushes that Cullom keeps getting, Kia is annoyed, it's cute but seeing her also gush over him is funny. I have a weird sense of humor. Yet I can’t stop feeling like nobody is really listening to me like everyone is waiting for something from me.

I look at Mykel who is still in his cell, what is up with him, here I am all dolled up, and nothing. I tap on his shoulder as he glances over me. I smile, and he goes back to his cell. “What?” is all he says with a bit of annoyance in his tone, what did I do now.

“What? After what just happened that’s all you're going to say?” he breathes heavily and twitches his ear, it's supposed to be my day and here he is picking a fight with me, or is it really me.”There is nothing more to say, he did wrong and he learned from it. Get over it.”

My smile stays in place but I feel even worse, maybe I should just let it go, I am always holding onto things as they matter.

I can’t believe him either, I know that is not the way one acts to their Luna, well more like a mate in general, but what do I know am neither yet. “I still can’t believe I get to enjoy this day! Sue come and dance with me!”, she says, completely ignoring what Mykel just said.

I give my soda to Mykel but he passes me without taking it or saying anything, so I walk to the table my mom is at and set my drink, taking Samie with me. After what felt like hours of just enjoying ourselves the music is turned off.

Everyone that was dancing all over the place stopped, and Alpha Jaime took his stand. I looked at my gold watch to see it’s 11:58, almost time for the big reunion. I actually bounce my feet up and make a little happy dance, Kia smiles and laughs at my silly happy dance.

“Pack members who will receive their wolves by the end of tonight's full moon, please step outside to welcome your wolf, everyone else can walk to the front of the cement area, once we have our newest members and they have sworn their alliance, we will have our pack run. Thank you all, for your attendance.

This is it! I am finally going to have my wolf, my wolf is so close by, I hold on tight to Kia who is now nervous, ou no. I hope she doesn't get a small panic attack, Alpha Lame is always being strict with Omegas, Kia is no exception, I walk holding hands with her to feel a bit calm.

Once we are outside the clouds above are hiding the moon, wired. The moon is usually visible in the time of the change, I stand next to my girl, hugging her tight. I look around to see if Mykel is near to have a small pep talk, but I don’t see him.

I see my mom from afar waving as Samie jogs to us, Kia is now shivering and my head starts to hurt even worse than when I talked about that kids story, it feels like a migraine but twice as worse. Samie pulls my hand and I see her hand has a swirling thing around it, I look at it mezmerised not paying attention to my surroundings.

Then I feel it the moon’s shining light, I look behind me and the head hack gets even worse, I hold on to my head from exploding, not seeing Kia is shifting to her wolf, all omegas are your typical gray wolf, none of them are of another color, unless they are mated to another class.

Kia actually shifted to a beautiful sandy colored wolf, she howled when she shifted, but I didn’t shift at all. I look at Samie and neither does she. I look around to see my mom but she is being held by Dante and I try to see Mykel but have no luck.

All the other people here also shift into their respected wolves, I hug myself as I hold on my tears, I have no wolf. “It’s okay Sue mom did say this might happen, don’t feel bad”, I nod at Sam so I don’t feel even more stupid.

I stay still but then other wolves come around snickering and pushing me till I fall on the ground. Really? Pushing a wolfless she wolf after one's first shift? I broke crying on the floor, nobody, not a single person cares that I have no wolf.

I cry hard and Kia places herself to protect me seeing that the others want to make fun of me. I then see Callum jog to Kia, “Hey shhh easy Susie won’t get hurt sweetheart I promise, I knew you were my mate.” he tells Kia who purrs at his sweet words.

I clean my tears from having them ruin my makeup, I doubt I did a good job at that, “congratulations to you Kia and Callum, you two make a happy couple.” I say with envy and cold words still on the floor when Samie comes near me.

“Hey you don’t get to act so bi**** with us, wolves” those words hurt more then I wanted to admit. It was just the Beta but that hurt so much, I am a Gamma and Luna’s daughter with no wolf.

I see a pair of shoes walk towards me and I can see they belong to none other then Alpha Jaime, please no more. I get it I am a nobody, I have no right to be here just make it quick, make it quick Alpha. I repeat to myself.

My mother walks up to me with Alpha Dante, “Sue are you okay?” my mom asks as if she doesn’t know how hurt I am that everyone but me got their wolves, I can’t hide my pain and start to cry all over again, my mom hugs me as I keep crying.

“Where is Mykel?” I ask her now, slowly giving up on the idea that I am going to be happy with my new best friend. “I’m not sure we haven’t seen him since the rays of the moon came out and Kia shifted first then anyone.” awesome, so everyone’s attention was towards me either way.

He didn’t leave me did he? My eyes start to get a fresh pair of tears as it hits the idea that can only fit my pathetic moment right now, I have no wolf, my boyfriend left me and now I have to be rejected as an outsider member for not having a wolf, please just end me now.

Alpha Dante comes near us and I am a bit scared as to what is going on. I look at my hands covered in my dark makeup, I try to clean my hands in something and Alpha Dante gives me his front pocket handkerchief, I use it and keep it.

“Well I will start the initiations first and then when Miss Drama Queen is over and done we will follow as the pack laws are well known to follow.” he says in a really annoyed voice, greate I have him on my case already.

“Callum, congratulations on finding your mate, Kilala Emerys, are you ready?” the Alpha asks her, she nods with her ears down, she shifts back to finalize her initiation, Callum gives her his jacket as soon as she shifts. I stand to watch as my friend gets to have everything I won’t be getting, I don’t hate her but it hurts me to know I won’t be a part of this.

“I, Alpha Jaime Larson of the Small Moon Pack, welcome you Kilala Emerys as my Betas mate.” He slices his hand with a silver and gold knife, it looks Victorian and then he slices her hand, shaking their hands.

I feel a power course from Alpha Jaime to Kia, she looks more fit, stronger even. She looks at Callum who is smiling like a fool in love and she has a new aura around her, I can feel her strength from my standing.

He goes a bit back and waits for the rest of the wolves to be welcomed and initiated, Kia and Callum leave to head inside. I stand there looking at their direction, knowing I will never have that.

Crying my eyes out gave me puffy red eyes, still looking at the direction Kia and Callum went, Mykel didn’t even say he wanted to end things with me, he just dropped out and left. I hear Alpha Dante clearing his throat, I move my eyes to him as Jaime also walks to us, it feels like only a minute passed when I look at my clock it says 2am, greate.

“Seeing as you will be put to outcast but staying as part of the pack, would you rather come live with us?” He asks in a really gentle voice and for a split second I felt I was important to someone but he is just my step dad. What the hell does he know about how I feel.

“Sue my little baby girl, I am here you know I will never leave you hunny.” My mom tells me to soothe my hand. I hate being pitied because my dad, in this I know I'm like my dad, he doesn’t say anything but he also doesn't make it worse, when I am sad and stuff like that I hold it. I don’t like showing others they got me but this one is very hard to hold.

I look at my dad with broken eyes, “If you want to go, you can Sue, I will be here if you ever need me.” I lick my lips and taste the salt of my tears, nobody gives me a moment to answer as Alpha Jaime arrives with his own answer.

“Since you have chosen to accept being part of The Green Pack of Alpha Dante then I will transfer you to him. Easier for me and a much calmer mind that my pack won’t have a weakness like you.” He says in front of my parents and everyone in my pack house.

I have no words of my own from how much I regret having to stand here alone. I snap, “Fine, Alpha Dante I accept to move to your pack.” As soon as my words left me the last one hit my head and my heart heavy enough to make me hold on to my mom a bit tighter.

“I Alpha Jaime Larson, Reject you Susie Brown as my Mate and Luna of the Small Moon Pack.” I felt my heart being shot and plunged into pure cruel pain, Jaime was my mate… my mate?

A cloud of green dust covers Alpha Dante, my mom, myself and then I see it to be Samie, all of this while my heart is slowly becoming ashes from my humiliating rejection.
