Aria's POV
"What a pathetic and ugly thing you are?"
"How long would you continue to be a jerk?"
"You are better to die than to live… you are nothing but occupying space in this Pack,"
"I blamed your mother for putting her life to save you, a such worthless being…"
...
Wolfless.
My name is Aria Scott, I was the most reviled creature in the Pack. My fatal flaw? I was born without the ability to shift into a wolf.
My mother died defending me from rogue attackers, a tragedy that marked the beginning of my lifelong suffering.
The Pack never let me forget my weakness, punishing me for it every chance they got. I was the scapegoat for their frustrations, relegated to menial chores and cleaning duty as their punching bag.
I have always tried to fit into the type of girl that they want but it has been one hell of a thing, especially when I am living under the same roof with my mother's sister, Susan.
Living in the same house with aunt Susan was like torture, like being trapped in burning flames.
I was treated like a curse, like a plague.
My presence was met with animosity, particularly from Allen, the future Alpha, and his crew.
I am scared of them and always find a way to avoid them though I have always had this thing called a crush on him he is nothing but a rascal, a cold-hearted creature. The air that I breathe disgusts him to the core.
It's clear that he loves someone else, Amber, the daughter of the Beta. One thing is for sure if there is something that I am proud of is knowing how to buckle up my emotions.
The only thing that has kept my head on the hook and always has me focused is just the joy of my eighteenth birthday which is tomorrow.
Though I might have passed the age that we do find our wolves, I have this feeling that tomorrow is going to be hilarious because a lot of people are going to find their mates but I am scared because of my buzzard.
The absence of my wolf gives me concern and tomorrow is the day that wolf finds their mate, the day they will find their other half.
I have heard different stories about the mate bond, on how one was enabled to know their other half, their fated mate.
And how the mate bond is like a force that pulls one towards their fated mate, that they could be able to smell and detect that this person is theirs.
A glue that could hold all of your pieces together, the person that could love you no matter the circumstances.
But so bad I don't think that I would be able to know what it feels like, what a mate bond feels like.
Sighing I tilted my neck to the other side and that's when I heard a rustling sound from behind, at first I thought that it was my head playing tricks on me till I heard her sickening voice.
"Well! Well. Guess who we have here?" She said in a sing-song voice, the minors laughed causing me to roll my eyes at them in my head.
Turning around I was meant with Amber, Allen's girlfriend, the girl that I hated most on this planet.
Anyway, the feeling was mutual because she never resists picking on me at any slightest opportunity that she gets.
Slowly getting off the bench, I mentally prepare myself for all the beating and insults that I did receive from them.
"What a bitch?!" She scoffed when standing elegantly in a red lacy gown and boots that barely had her butt covered with her lips stretched out in mockery.
"Uhm…" I gulped hard and tried to take a step away from them but I was pulled back forcefully by one of her minors, Jessy.
"Huh," she furrowed her brow with a dangerous smirk playing at the bottom of her lips. I trembled under her hateful gaze with my heart pondering heavily within me.
"Where do you think that you are going, bitch!" She snapped and with a quivering lip I was able to force out the word, "Please….."
"Not when I haven't had fun with my little doll," she nods towards the water.
My eyes widened as I followed the direction of her eye.
"No! No!" I clamored as her minors, they grabbed me and tossed me into the water, luckily I wasn't that bad at swimming.
I sank and forced myself up while gasping for air.
