Her birthday outfitðð½ðð½ð
After our little group hug I continued to eat my food, Lucas then bounded into the kitchen but didn't even glance my way.
"Lucas?" I asked and he rolled his eyes before continuing to roam through the fridge.
"Was it something I did?" I inquired, he huffed in annoyance before turning to face me a scowl obviously on his face. I flinched away not prepared for the animosity.
"You want to know what you did?" I nodded, "We all have been worried sick about you, then you come home different, thinking you're better because you're a white wolf." He said envy venom lacing his words.
My eyes widened at the confession,"Lucas I can't control what color my wolf is, and why are you mad at me for that? I would've expected my brother to be proud or happy for me since I did shift alone and I came back alive. Not to have you chew my head off about something out of my control." I said feeling a mixture of hurt and anger. "I don't want to be treated differently because of something out of my rule." When I looked up at Lucas he was still glaring at me and then without another glance he left. He just walked out without another word. Whatever.
I ran upstairs to my room and laid down on my back, just staring at the ceiling. I'm gone for one day and it goes from good to bad, I shouldn't be surprised though huh? I huffed loudly before closing my eyes and turning over, succumbing to the darkness.
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
This time I didn't groan before waking up I yelled in excitement.
"IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!" I earned a few protests but that didn't stop me. I hopped up and started jumping on my bed doing a little dance.
I hopped off my bed landing gracefully thanks to my wolf. I ran to the bathroom and this time I took a bath. I turned on the water, then poured in my bubble soap, next was my favorite part. I hopped in splashing water everywhere.
I made sure I lathered my whole body until I smelled completely of Jasmines,and Honey. After I was done, my hair was still a little damp from yesterday so I defused my hair.
When I was done I fluffed my hair out to my desired look. Running out the bathroom as naked as the day I was born, into my closet I decided on a black and red flannel dress, some black wedges, my gold watch, my gold diamond earrings, and a rose flower headband.
When I was done I shakily walked over to my full mirror. I did pretty good for a girl who only wears pineapples, sweatpants, and sweat shirts. I smiled in the mirror before walking around my room breaking in my shoes to be sure I didn't fall today. When I knew I was stable I grabbed my book bag, and walked out of my room downstairs.
When I got downstairs my family was sitting at the table talking but when I came in they were all awestruck. My dad almost cried when he saw me.
He got up and walked over to me before pulling me into one of his bear hugs. "My beautiful baby girl. This is the day you become one with your mate." He said sniffling a bit, I just smiled at him.
"Daddy you won't lose me, I'll always be your baby girl." I said with a tear falling from my eye.
"Happy birthday Jadah." He whispered in my ear before backing away and wiping his eyes.
"Oh my baby, you look so beautiful! You get that from ya mama huh?! Look at you. You look so grown up, Happy birthday baby." My mom said before pulling me into one of her bone-crushing hugs.
"Thanks mama." I breathed out before pulling back. Then Leila was in front of me.
"You'll always be my baby sis and I'll always love you." She said, then she whacked my forehead.
"Owwww!" I said rubbing my burning forehead.
"Do you know how long I have been trying to get you in heels and a dress? Now you go and put yourself in them with out me, thinking you're grown." She scolded, we all laughed.
"But happy birthday baby sister." She said giving me a hug. When I looked at the boys they were still carelessly eating their food, not even sparing me a bit of attention. It hurt but I won't let them ruin my day. I swallowed the baseball sized lump in my throat, blinking away tears before I went to sit down.
I looked down at the table, glancing over at them through my lashes, to see if this was just a joke but they continued eating their food. Soon my plate of pancakes, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, eggs, grits, and salmon crocats was under my face. I immediately dug in and was finished my plate and orange juice in seconds. When I looked up everyone was smiling at me except the boys.
"Werewolves appetite?" I asked bashfully.
"Yeah sure, werewolves appetite." My dad said sarcastically widening his eyes before going back to his food.
"Leila you ready?" I asked but my dad responded.
"You won't be needing to ride with them anymore, you're 16 today so that means new car." I screamed but then it dawned on me. I don't have a license.
"I don't have a license." I said and everybody grew quiet.
"Well you still have a car, maybe Leila can drive you to school." He said and I nodded. Leila got up from her seat and smiled at the boys who smiled back before turning to me. What was that about?
"They're up to something." I heard Amaris say suspiciously but I was confused, up to what?
"Come on little sis." Leila slurred in a weird voice that sent alarm bells ringing in my head.
"Okay?" I said but it came out more like a question. I gave my mom and dad a kiss before me and Leila walked out the house to a beautiful black Maserati.
"Wow it's beautiful!" I said in 'awe' marveling at my new ride. Good job dad.
"Thanks. I'll be taking this and you walk." Leila said interrupting the beautiful music in my head. Wait hold up.
"What?"I asked. She's not really gonna make me walk right?
"You heard me. Start walking and if you tell mom and dad i'll beat your ass, on your birthday, got it?" She said in a dead serious voice. I can't believe this. All I could do was nod and watch as she took off in my new car, without me. I want to cry but I won't, I'm not gonna let this ruin my day. I still have my mate to look forward to. Thus I began my walk to school...in heels.
When I got to school I saw Leila sitting on my car with pride while people ran around gushing over it and when she saw me she started laughing. I felt angry tears form as my vision got blurry. People started looking at me, and they all just stared.
I heard a car come from behind me, I jumped out of the way right before it hit me. When the person got out the car I was hit with this amazing mouth watering smell of fresh pine and mint. It made my wolf go crazy. It was so intoxicating I followed the scent and soon I ended up in front of Malachi, Kim, my brothers, and her minions.
When I looked up I was captured by his beautiful blue eyes, everything else around us faded away. Amaris was chanting something but I wasn't listening. His ocean colored eyes held me captive.
When I came down from my high I finally listened,
"Mate!" She screamed and that's when I came crashing down hard back into reality. Malachi is my mate!?
"Are you sure Amaris." I asked her.
"I know my mate when I see him."She said firmly.
"Mate." Malachi whispered and I know everyone heard him because they stopped and looked at us. As I was looking at him all the mean things he did and said to me were forgettable, his hateful stares and snarls dissipated into oblivion. All that matters is us. Me and my mate.
I smiled at him lovingly and he did the same with so much love making my heart palpitate. Then his face distorted into an angry and disgusted expression. I flinched away from him, almost tripping over my own two feet.
"You are not my mate." He said angrily and my heart ripped in half.
I couldn't breath. Did I hear him correctly? "W-what? But we are." I said, my voice cracking. His eyes looked hurt before getting hard again.
"My mate is supposed to be beautiful not some ugly, fat piece of shit like you." He said with regret in his eyes but he didn't stop there. "My mate is supposed to be strong and useful like Kimberly. "He said pulling her to him while she giggled. I growled.
I'm pretty sure everyone could hear my heart breaking at this point. Amaris was howling and clawing to get out and be with her mate but we were being rejected.
"But-but mates are supposed to love each other and protect and care for each other. She's not your mate and you know it!" I yelled angrily with tears in my eyes. His own eyes widened from my sudden outburst. "Why are you doing this? I'm your mate you're not supposed to do this! You're supposed to be with me not her! You're supposed to love me!" Tears wouldn't stop pouring from my eyes, "Why?Am I that bad? I don't do half the stuff she does!"
I looked up at him and saw him about to cry from my rage but that only made me cry harder, my legs gave out from under me. I stared up at him wistfully, holding a hand to my breaking heart.
"This wasn't supposed to happen." I kept repeating to myself hanging my head. Then he spoke,
"You're not my mate and that's final." He said using his alpha voice on me but I didn't care to listen.
"Anyone who says anything is banished! Now we're going to my father." He said and my head shot up, I saw him snap his fingers before turning away. I was wiping my face when I felt my arms being grabbed.
I looked up and saw two bulky men gripping my arms before I was being lifted in the air by both arms, a man on both sides of me.
"Take her to my house, i'll be there shortly." He commanded before hopping in his car and driving away. Then I was being roughly carried to his mansion.
I was hanging limp in their grasp silently crying.
"Amaris my heart hurts."
"His wolf wanted us but he didn't. I'm so hurt Jadah." She said whining.
"I know Amaris but we have each other. I wonder why we're going to Warrens." I said and at the mention of his name she growled.
"I don't like him. Leila and our brothers betrayed us." She growled. I was instantly reminded of their betrayal and more tears came out.
When we arrived they let my feet down but didn't let go of my arms. We walked to the front door where they knocked, Malachi answered the door and took me from the guards sending shocks up my arm. Amaris was happy that he was touching us but knowing that it meant nothing to him stifled my happiness. I simply wanted to go home and die, I have nothing to live for now.
"Hey you have me." Amaris protested,
"You're right I do have you and you have me." I said not feeling so alone anymore. I was brought out of my thoughts when Malachi was squeezing my arm a little too tightly.
"That hurts." I said still looking at the carpeted floor, he thankfully loosened his hold on me before walking us up the steps to his fathers office.
He opened the door and I looked up. My family was there, the students from school, and the Alpha and Luna. Malachi threw me down on the ground where I sat up on my knees with my head hanging.
"So you lied about my son being your mate?" Warrens voice was strained, I heard people gasp, even the ones from school who knows I didn't. I didn't say anything but look at the floor.
Soon my head was being yanked up by my chin and it was the alpha who was staring at me coldly, applying too much pressure with his cold hands. But the numbness pulsating through my body made it painless so I didn't even bother to wince or protest. I just looked in his eyes with my dull brown ones so he could answer his own question.
"Look in my eyes. You tell me if I'm lying." I said emotionlessly, his eyes grew bigger before going black, and he slapped the taste out of my mouth. The impact sent me flying to the floor.
"Don't disrespect your alpha! Then you have the nerve to lie to my son, that he is your mate!" He roared but I just laid there on the floor I could only see my curls. Unexpectedly my hair was being pulled up roughly with so much force my scalp was burning. The person who had my hair was the Luna, my feet were dangling off the ground at this point and she was glaring at me abhorrently. I tried not to cry from the pain but my tears were silently pouring from my eyes which made her smile.
"You little bitch dare have the nerve to embarrass and disrespect your alpha?" She asked and back handed me making me cry. Amaris was going crazy.
"Let me out! Let me out!" She yelled clawing and growling.
"No! Remember we are a white wolf, they could kill us." I said to her but she didn't let up. She was still depressed and angered that our mate disowned us. She was ready to kill.
"Why did you lie about your mate?" Mira asked bringing me out of my thoughts, then she dropped me to the floor. I just laid there trying to calm Amaris when I was kicked in the stomach, and sent flying into a nearby wall. My whole body hurt and when I looked up I saw my parents just watching with blank stares, my so called siblings were grinning like Cheshire cats, and well Malachi was just emotionlessly watching me be abused. Soon Mira was speaking again,
"Malachi if she isn't your mate, prove it." She said and my eyes snapped to Malachi's direction silently begging with my eyes for him to confess, but he just shrugged before coming over to me.
"You're not my mate." He said furiously, before pulling his fist back and socking me right in my nose and it crunched. My whole world ended there. I can't believe this, my family is watching me get my ass kicked and my mate. The one who's supposed to love me, kiss me, and protect me just punched me in the fucking face. I laid there still, staring up at the ceiling still not believing this.
Then I felt anger course through me. An anger so powerful my whole body started to shake before I stood up again. I felt the bones in my nose crack before healing, I closed my eyes and knew my eyes were changing from brown to blue. When I opened my eyes the crowd who watched me get my ass kicked gasped and stumbled away from me. I gave them a malicious smile before speaking.
"So you worthless pieces of shits are the ones who hurt my Jadah huh?" Amaris's voice was deadly, very deep, and different from my own. Amaris took over and I don't care. I went to sit in the back of my mind watching.
"You" She pointed her index finger at Malachi, her claws coming out and I could feel our canines emerging. The crowds face was covered in horror. "You rejected us but...despite what your wolf and the fates have to say you continue to disown us." She said pacing around shaking her head in false disappointment."Tsk tsk tsk tsk."You'll regret that alpha I promise you that."She said mocking the word 'alpha' glaring at him smirking at his horror covered face. Then she turned to our frightened family.
"Oh look is Larry and Lauren scared of their own daughter?" She asked fired up.
"N-No." My father said stuttering over his words.
"Hmmm I'm not convinced from all the stuttering." She said tilting her head, "Now why would you sit there and watch as we were being mangled by these three assholes? They just ganged up on a defenseless 16 year old." She asked putting her hands on her hips, tapping her foot on the floor waiting for an answer.
"Wel-l we-ll." She cut them off with a hand gesture.
"Stuttering fools." She said looking them up and down in disgust.
She slowly walked over to Leila"You were my older sister, and bestfriend but you let your jealousy of me get in the way of the bond you two had and as a result you ended up hurting Jadah." She said as Leila tried to be strong but failed miserably."And everyone who thought that beautiful Maserati was hers, you're highly mistaken. That car is mine, todays my birthday." She announced, Leila looked so embarrassed and ashamed, as the crowd glared at her.
She walked up to Lucas,"The same goes for you. You were my favorite brother but your jealousy got in the way of that." Lucas looked down in shame but we simply shook our head at him.
We went to Leo,"You were my older brother but you became jealous and followed them," She said jutting her thumb to Leila, and Lucas, then she turned to the crowd.
"Now everyone. I'm taking my leave." They all visibly relaxed. "But." They tensed back up, "I will be back, and better than ever, so be prepared to see me in a couple of years." She announced before we turned around and headed to the door but before we left she looked at Leila.
"You. Bring me my keys." She said and Leila scurried over to us. We held out our hand and Leila dropped them before she ran away.
"Pathetic." She said shaking her head at them then walking out the door slamming it behind us.
As we were walking out Amaris gave me control but was still alert making sure they weren't gonna try anything, but when we got outside I felt free and no longer attached to this pack. I threw off my heels and stupid flower headband before I ran to Larry's and Lauren's house, marveling at how fast we were going, and how the wind blew threw my hair. These people are no longer my family. I threw my arms up and howled.
I ran upstairs to my room and just for fun I trashed it. I punched and kicked holes in the walls, smashed my mirrors, broke my tv, and ripped the doors off of my closet.
I stripped out of my stupid birthday outfit and put on some skinny jeans, a black crop, leather jacket, and put on my all black timberland boots, I fluffed my hair and grabbed a duffle bag where I filled it with clothes, and shoes for me.
Then I went to Larry and Lauren's room and took some money from their safe. After I was done I went down stairs grabbed some food and a water bottle before walking out not caring about the door being left open. I welcomed the rouge overtaking me.
When I walked out everyone was surrounding my old house, even Malachi who was looking sad, my family had matching facial expressions.
I stopped, slinging my arms turning to face them, throwing my hips to the side and folding my arms over each other."Oh stop with the act I know you assholes are happy I'm leaving so quit it."I said disgustedly before walking to my beautiful Maserati. I heard my mom gasp before speaking,
"I have never heard you cuss don't start now." She scolded and I rolled my eyes while throwing my bags in the passenger seat, turning around to face them with my arm draped on the roof of my car.
"Don't try to control me. I have had it with this mean ass pack, you assholes don't know the meaning of a pack so shut up with that."She began sobbing into Larry's chest while he glared at me. I gave him a cheeky smile before hopping in my car and turning on Paradise city by gun n roses. I stuck my middle finger out the window before driving away from the Silvermist pack to began my life as a rogue.
Or so I thought.
