Chapter One.

Chapter One.

For the first time in my life, I felt a bit excited to be coming into school. To be honest, I didn't know why. I felt a warmth envelope my body as I went to my first class, English.

That was weird considering, I've just been to hell and back. My brother, Ryan and some of his friends came around our house this morning, which wasn't unusual considering they're there most of the time anyways. Although, the Alpha- my brother's best friend wasn't there. And let me tell you, they weren't the kindest people out there.

As I entered the class, I noticed that it was half-empty, with some students talking to their friends. They laughed and smiled and chatted with their friends. Times like this when I wished I had friends.

I took my seat at the back of the classroom by the window. Gazing outside, I saw how the leaves swayed from side-to-side and how there wasn't a single cloud in the sky.The sun shone brightly and the birds flew happily.

All of a sudden, the most amazing scent hit my nostrils causing me to turn to look at the door. There, stood in all of his glory was none other than, Chase Carter, with his messy dark brown bangs and sky blue eyes. Our new Alpha.

Since he was 17 years old today, he was given the position of the Alpha of the Pack. He'd also most likely find his mate today- which he had: me.

I watched as he scanned the class with his eyebrows furrowed. His eyes landed on mine and I felt the tingles spread through my body. I felt like it was just the two of us in the world. I didn't notice anyone else. It was just us.

Mate. Mate. Mate. My wolf yelled at me.

I know, we're so lucky to be his mate, I sighed.

His eyes showed a string of emotions, shock, lust, and love. He smiled slightly at me which I returned.

"Honey, let's go sit down," a whiny voice said. It was only then I realised that Nicole- the Head Cheerleader- was clinging off his strong, tanned arms like her life depended on it.

My mate's girlfriend . . .

He nodded, but his eyes never left mine. I felt a pang of jealousy but I tried to ignore it. My wolf was becoming angrier and angrier by the minute and I knew she would take over my body anytime soon- even though I hadn't shifted yet.

It hurt me to know my own mate wouldn't push away that slag, but instead wrapped his arms around her and allowing her to sit on his lap. Where only I should be sitting.

Trying my best to push away the tears, I didn't even notice when some other of the pack came in and sat down surrounded the Chase and Nicole. I bit my lip, not wanting any sobs to come out, because then they'd only ridicule me even more.

Since I was the only person who hadn't shifted yet in the pack, people often teased me and made fun of me.  My parents, or parent should I say, were never there for me because my dad is always sleeping around with other she-wolves, and didn't care. Although my mom was around some of the times, I knew that she cheated on my dad as well. She was only our mom when she felt like it.

Despite being mates, they constantly cheated on each other. It started when my dad started back late from work, each day smelling of another woman. My mom got fed up of sitting around crying because of her mate, so she started cheated as well to make dad feel the same pain as her, but she was a nice mom to have around from time to time.

My brother, he ignored me most of the times. He thought of me as an embarrassment and always made fun of me along his friends. He used to my best friend, until he shifted and I didn't.

Most she-wolves are supposed to shift from the ages 12-15 and I was way older than that and I still hadn't shifted. And I was now 16 years of age. Males shift from 10-13 years old, earlier than she-wolves.

-

The hour quickly passed and the bell screeched. I grabbed my things and threw in into my backpack before quickly running out of the room. I was the first person out of there, and I was glad because this meant that I wouldn't have any chance of seeing him at all for the next lesson.

No. Go back to our mate, my wolf screamed.

No, he hurt us. He let Nicole touch him. I shouted back.

'Sophia wait, meet me by the janitor's closet,' all of a sudden Chase's voice boomed through mind-link.

Since he was Alpha, I had no choice but to succumb to his order. Or it would be considered very shameful and challenging not to listen to someone who was of higher rank than you, like an Alpha or a Beta. And since I was the pack runt, I had to listen to every single person in our pack, as I was the lowest of the low.

I turned around and made my way near the janitor's closet, which was near the exit of the school, hence it was the complete opposite side of my next class, Biology. The hallway was completely empty, which had my heart thudding against my chest, because it meant that I would be alone . . .with my mate.

Once I was a few metres away, his scent hit me, driving my wolf insane. She wanted nothing but to run upto him and kiss the life out of him. But I controlled my wolf; I had to. No matter how hard or painful it was.

"Yes A-Alpha," I stuttered, my head bowed. I looked at my old worn-out Converses like they were the most interesting thing in the world.

Using his index finger, he lifted up my chin and looked at me in the eyes. Tingles shot through my body when he touched me. I felt so warm and his touch felt so right.

"Call me Chase," he whispered, bringing his mouth to my ear. Slowly, he began sucking on my earlobe and wrapped his arms around my waist. I let out a quiet moan and felt him smirk against my skin.

He pushed me against the wall and he began trailing intoxicating kisses down my neck and and onto my chest, when he opened the buttons of my school shirt.

I felt like I was on Cloud 9. I felt alive for the first time of my life.

He grabbed me into the janitors closet and I moaned when he began sucking on my neck, where he was going to be marking me as his. His hands freely roamed my body before finally stopping at my butt. He roughly pushed me against the wall when he made sure the door was fully closed.

My body felt like it was on fire.

He started kissing up and down my jaw when I wrapped both my legs around his torso. I roamed my hand over his rock-like chest and I couldn't help but think how right this felt.

I unbuttoned his shirt, needing to feel his skin under my palms as he did mine. Finally, he placed a small kiss on my lips. When his soft lips touched mine, I felt as if I'd died and gone to heaven- I felt beyond amazing.

Soon, we were both naked, with Chase pressing me onto the wall as he continued kissing me. Our lips moved in sync and he bit my bottom lip for entrance, which I happily granted him. We continued making out for a while, both of our skin touching, making my body fill with tinlges.

Finally, Chase thrusted into me causing me to grip his hair harder because of the pain. He thrusted in and out slowly, as the pleasure of each thrust hit me.

"Ch-Chase . . .faster. Please," I pleaded breathlessly. He thrusted in and out faster each time bringing me closer to my climax. We both moaned and finally came together.

He dropped my legs on the floor, both of us trying to catch out breath. My legs were wobbly a first, but finally I balanced myself and managed to stand up without falling over. He pecked my lips once last time before starting to get dressed.

Isn't he supposed to say to something to me?

I stood there, frozen, watching as he done up the last button of his shirt. Without as so much of a glance, he spun on his heel and left me in the janitor's closet naked.

Tears flooded down my cheeks as I dressed myself, wincing once in a while when it hurt. I sat on the floor, just quietly sobbing for a while. Finally, I stood up and I smoothed my hair down and carefully slipped out of the janitor's closet.

My mate just made love to me and left me, without another word. He just used me.

I had to get out of this school. It was suffocating me. Walking down the hallways to get to my locker, his mouth-watering scent hit me once again. I continued walking down further, only to stop at the sight in front of me.

It was truly heart-breaking. I could feel my heart shattering in bits.

My wolf howled in pain as I watched Chase making out with Nicole. Her hands tangled in his hair and his hands on either side on her, while she had her back against the locker. Just like what he did to me, merely an hour or so ago.

I so desperately wanted to move, I couldn't look at it. I couldn't look at them.But my feet were glued to the floor. Even if I tried, I couldn't move.

"What are you doing here bitch?" Nicole screeched in her annoying voice.

Suddenly, something snapped inside of me. I knew that Chase was looking at me, smirking. I was so shameful by what I'd done. I felt dirty. I let my hormones get the best of me. And I regretted it now. Every single minute of it.

I was so repulsive that even my mate didn't want me. I was truly and utterly disgusting.

So I turned and ran out of the closest exit. I ran to my beat-up Ford and slipped in to it. I speeded out of the school and to my house.

Thankfully, we didn't live in the pack house. We had our own home near the pack house.

Once I parked the car, I sprinted into the bedroom and locked myself. I cried until there wasn't any tears left to shed. I cried for hours and hours.

My pack hated me. My brother hated me. My mate hated me. My dad didn't care about me. My mom was only a mom when she felt like it. I was a shame to this pack.

Then what the hell was I doing here?! I'd hurt them enough already. I couldn't hurt them anymore, right? I'd hate myself even more than I do now if I hurt more people. I had to leave. I wouldn't hurt them, and then maybe they'd be happy, right?

My wolf didn't say a word as I packed all my clothes and other photographs. I went to my dad's room and picked out one of his colognes. I got a beautiful necklace from my mom's jewelry box, which I fastened around my neck. And I picked out one of Ryan's hoodies. I packed those items and grabbed some food from the kitchen.

I slipped into the study, where our safe was. My dad has a secret compartment under his large mahogany desk, where he had the key to the safe. He didn't know that I knew this, but I did.

I finally found the key and pulled out an ancient-looking book for one of the portraits to slide up and reveal the safe. Using the key, I unlocked the safe and pulled out a wad of notes. There were lots of money in the safe- I wouldn't be surprised if there was over a million in there.

I locked the door of the safe and pushed in the book fully, allowing the painting to go back to it's original position. I slid the key back in it's place before checking the time. 3:00 p.m.

Nobody would be at home for a couple of hours, so I was safe, but if I didn't want them tracking down my scent, I'd have to leave soon anyways.

I stuffed the money in a corner of my duffel bag and found a small plastic bag with a couple of thousands in, it was the money I'd saved from my job- which was teaching children ballet, right at the back of my closet.

I wrote a note, with only two words on there.

With one hand I carried both my duffel bags, and with the other, I carried my guitar, which was safely placed in it's case.

And with that, I felt my old home and life in search for a new better one. . .

I proof-read it and corrected some of the mistakes, and I made it slightly longer. I will probably add more details when I do finish the book completely, but until then . . .

I've proof-read it again, and corrected some more bits. And I realised some bits didn't even make sense, so sorry about that. But I think I've corrected all, if not most of the mistakes or grammar. Anyways, I hope it's better . . .
