Chapter 1

Unknown POV: before you read my story, you need to open your mind to the unknown. Have you done that?... Good because what I am about to tell you, you do need to open your mind to things that you believed were just stories or make believe, because trust me these stories, these myths, those things that go bump in the night are real because I am one of them. My name is Kagome and I am a werewolf and I am part of a werewolf pack called the Silver Moon pack, which has an Alpha, Luna, Beta, Gamma's, pack warrior and then at the bottom of the pack rank are omega's.

And this is my story…

It was meant to be the best thing to happen to me, but he destroyed it with what he did. I should start off from the beginning. When I entered High school, I was the one kid that no one wanted to get to know. I tried to make friends but no one wanted to make friends with someone that had no fashion sense, always had their nose in a book and such.

There were of course the popular kids and at the head of them is Akitoki Hojo. He is the typical high school 'dream boy'. He is handsome, charming and strong. Everyone either wanted to be his friend or be his girlfriend. Plus, he is the Alpha's son so he had the power in the pack as well.

At first, I didn't fall for the charms of Akitoki, not that I minded I was fine on my own, but after a while I couldn't help but look at him and develop a crush. I mean who wouldn't?

He has chestnut brown hair that is always in the perfect style. He has these deep brown eyes that look like chocolate, the perfect face as well as body. I knew that it was pointless to even think that he would look my way when he had Ami the popular girl as his girlfriend.

But for him I did try. When I entered my senior year, I started to read fashion magazines and tried to keep up with what is in with make-up and clothing but the moment I showed up at school Ami would make fun of me so of course the whole school ended up making fun of me for being 'too skinny' for the clothes or the clothes where too long for me. All this work did nothing to turn Akitoki's head my way.

I don't know why I'm like the way I am. A werewolf is meant to be strong and beautiful, so for me to be skinny and weak is unusual. Maybe once I find my mate things will change. They say once you find your mate it is a magical and wonderful thing to happen. Once you do you both become stronger. They are the one that is meant to love you wholeheartedly and the one you are meant to spend the rest of your life with. So, I know once I find him that at least we will have each other.

When we turn 18 is when you feel the pull towards your mate. So, when I turned 18, I was so excited I even put on some makeup. I was walking to class and I smelt this mouth-watering scent calling out to me. Even my wolf was going crazy in my head and I knew that she was happy to find her mate as well. I knew I had to follow that scent. I soon found myself outside near one of the lunch tables where Akitoki was sitting deep in thought. My eyes widened in shock when I realized that the scent was coming from him and when he noticed my presence, he just looked at me with a questioning look on his face until I said "Mate" then his face went to confused and then angry.

Hadn't he smelled me when he turned 18 months ago? By the look on his face he did know and he was angry about it. He knew he was my mate and yet he dated someone else and he has known for at least four months. Four months of him knowing while his friends bullied me and made me feel like dirt.

He brought me out of my thoughts and shock by grabbing my arms roughly and dragged me to the side of the school where no one could see us and slammed me against the wall. He then dug his claws into my arms which caused me to whimper in pain. As I look up at him all I see is malice in his eyes as he speaks to me, all I feel is hatred.

"Listen, you're not my mate, I don't want a weak, skinny wolf such yourself as my mate. So, don't bother to be. Get that into your thick skull now. And if I found out that you told anyone about this, I will end you! Got that?"

With that he gave me the coldest glare and left without looking back or giving me a second thought.

Once I was alone all I felt was rage. All that I have been through and this so-called golden boy that everyone including the teachers loved and admired, was actually such a jerk. It made me question what I have been taught. My parents told me that mates are meant to be your other half, someone that you can't live without. The bond that we are meant to feel will continue to pull the two together and you can't resist it no matter what. So how come he could resist me for four months? Had my parents lied to me or was it me? Was there something wrong with me? I have seen my parents and they are so loving and kind to each other, they are everything that mates should be, and what I wanted was that too much to ask for?

Perhaps so. Maybe I should do as the old saying goes? "If you love something, let it go and it will come back to you" so maybe Akitoki will come crawling back to me. But in the meantime, all I can do is stare at him and give him a hopeful and longing look from afar.

I did notice that Ami was giving me more attention, I would feel her cold gaze on me, she would also bump into me, I would hear rumors about me and I know that she started them. I don't know why she started to bully me. My only answer I could come up with is that she somehow found out about Akitoki and I being mates, how I don't know and not once did Akitoki defend me. All he did was egg them on.

All I could do was hope that he would see that what he is doing and what he is allowing is wrong in that the moon goddess put us together for a reason and by going against her will Akitoki is turning his back on her and dooming the pack.

My hope came thumping down once I heard the rumors that once graduation was over the two were going to mate. I don't want to believe these rumors so when graduation I had to see for myself.

As I was seated next to my family, I could hear whispers about the two and how great it was for the pack and when the Alpha came up to make his announcement of the mating of the two that's when I couldn't hear any more. All I could do was look at Ami as she proudly walked towards Akitoki as he sank his canines into her neck without a second thought, and everyone in the pack cheered them on. That was my tipping point. I was so angry, hurt and sad that all I could do was run. My parents tried to run after me but once I turned into my black wolf, I ran so fast that they could not keep up. I found a place that I could be alone, I was alone and broken. I told no one not even my family about Akitoki and I being mates I was too ashamed of them knowing that their daughter had a mate and he rejected her because she was weak, ugly and an outcast.

I don't know how long I stayed out in the forest; I was trying to mend what Akitoki had broken but I couldn't. For the next couple of weeks, I just got worse and worse. I couldn't eat or sleep. I just kept getting weaker and weaker and no one knew why.

So, my parents and I decided that I needed to leave and try to become stronger by living with my aunt and her pack. I could get away from whatever was making me the way that I am.

We did need the Alpha's permission to leave the pack even if it is visiting another pack, because us wolves can be very territorial and when a new wolf comes on another's land, they could see it as a threat. So, once we explained to the Alpha that I was going on a holiday to my aunt's pack for 'family' matters the alpha agreed.

Once I entered my aunt's home however she knew instantly that something was wrong - by my baggy and holly eyes, my pale face and very baggy clothes. She demanded I tell her what happened, I don't know why I told her everything and not my parents! But once I did, I felt better but not by much and I made sure that she promised not to tell anyone at least not yet.

In the following months, my aunt and her husband helped me get better by training me, by helping me get in touch with my wolf so I could shift again. And once they were successful, I couldn't express how much joy I felt to know that my wolf and I were one again. When Akitoki had marked Ami and I had shifted into my wolf, that was it for her. She was so heart-broken that she had hidden in my mind no longer able to come forth and be one with me.

Once I became stronger, I knew I would never again let someone like Akitoki or Ami push me around again, no longer will I be called weak or ugly I would stand up for not only myself but for my wolf.

I was lucky that my aunt was a hairdresser and beautician so she helped me with my looks and her husband was a warrior of the pack that they are in so he helped me train my body. Once I knew I was ready I went back home. I was ready to face college and whatever lies ahead.
