Jade POV

"Get the fuck up, bitch!" was the first thing I heard in the morning.

My dad then proceeded to burst through my bedroom door looking ready to use anything as an excuse to hit me. I instantly got up, hoping not to be beaten today. Taking a quick shower, I changed, putting on skinny jeans and a sweatshirt.

Pause. Let's start over.

The name's Jade. I'm 15, I'll be 16 next week, and I'm a werewolf. I'm 5’8” with brown hair and multicolored eyes. My wolf is silver; she even has silver eyes. Her name's Safire. I get bullied for my eyes and because they all think that I didn't shift yet. I did shift, though it was early, and no one but my mother knew, so I get hit for that by my dad because he too thinks I have yet to shift.

Now that we're introduced: continue.

The moment I got downstairs, I was greeted with a slap. "You're so fucking worthless! I thought I told you to make breakfast?!"

"You didn't tell me anything, Dad." He hit me on the head with his beer bottle. I staggered a bit before regaining my footing.

"Useless bitch..." he muttered, walking away and grumbling other things to himself.

Looking down, I saw blood dripping onto my top, and I could feel it trickling down my head. Sighing, I turned and made my way back upstairs to change and clean up the blood. I chose to wear the first thing my eyes landed on, which was a long sleeve off-the-shoulder top.

After cleaning up the blood, I quickly ran downstairs, kidnapped an apple and bolted out the door since dad had knocked out on the couch.

Let's get this shitty day over with. Safire sighed, and I couldn't help but agree. As soon as I walked into the halls, the name-calling began.

"Freak!"

"Whore!"

"Slut!" And that one came from a slut herself. It always takes every fiber in my being not to kill these people. Worse yet when Safire goes into protective mode and it becomes challenging to not give her control lest she wreck shit up. And trust me on this, she will wreak a lot of shit in her rage which will also carry mine as well. Ignoring all their pettiness I went to the first hour, gym.

Time skip: Lunch God, I'm glad that's over! I hate math, why the hell do we need it!? I ranted to myself as I shoved my books in my locker. Once finished, I walked off to the back of the school hoping to avoid the bitch Katelyn.

For once, no one bothered me. I guess it's because they're hoping that one of them would be our soon to be alpha’s, Aron, mate. Not that I'm complaining: it's been years since I've had it this peaceful. I'm relishing it.

After eating, I was headed back to my locker when I caught an amazing scent. It was coconut and vanilla mixed with what smelled like cologne.

Mate! Go find him!!! Safire all but screamed at me. I held back a smile as I followed the intoxicating smell. Doing so made it become stronger and stronger.

As I turned to corner, I bumped into none other than Aron and the funny thing is... he's my mate. The intoxicating scent was coming off him in waves, and it left my knees shaking. I instinctively wanted to cuddle and inhale his scent more. He was holding onto my waist to prevent me from falling, which sent sparks all over where his hand was.

This moment would have been nice... if his face wasn't one of disgust. Right then all I could do was pray he accepted me.

"Sorry," I told him, acting as if I didn't know but he obviously didn't buy my act.

"Let's get this over with." He pushed me away from him his disgusted face ever-present. "I, Aron Matthew, future alpha of the Moon pack, reject you, Jade Wilson, as my mate and future luna of the Moon pack." He spoke the words I didn't want to hear. His face blank and void of emotions. His eyes stared at me with coldness like that of a winter night.

I felt immense pain in my chest as he rejected me. My heart just broke. Our heart just broke. Safire was whimpering in the back of my mind making my heart break more. I bite my lips working up my courage I looked him straight in the eyes.

"I, Jade Wilson, ac...accept your rejection as your mate and luna..." More pain erupted from inside my body. The emotionless look on his face fell, and his features morphed into one of pain before he hid it with a blank look and rolled his eyes.

"Tsk. Whatever, freak. Just make sure you don't tell anyone. I don't want people to know my mate was an ugly weak girl who didn't even shift." His words cut deep until he mentioned my shift. That set me off. I glared at him.

"For your information, I did shift. Just–" I cut myself off anger burning in me. I am so over this bullshit! "You wanna know something? Fuck. You." I growled, turned on my heels, and stormed out of the school heading home, rage coursing through me.

I slammed the door open and went up to my room also slamming open my room door. I paced my room as tears welled in my eyes. I let them fall. I was breathing heavily since I was crying but trying to force myself to stop which wasn't working.

To take out my pent-up rage I screamed and trashed my room, destroying everything. I stood in the middle of my trashed room and saw that I practically broke everything. The only thing not damaged is a necklace that magically appeared on my dresser last month that I had yet to touch. It was silver, and it had a wolf howling at the moon. I took it before deciding to leave.

Jumping out my window, I shifted before running to the pack’s border. As soon as I was out of the territory, my pack link suddenly broke, since I was technically a rogue now. I howled a 'fuck you' to everyone in my pack and sped up, getting further and further away from the pack that I once loved but no longer did.

I ran until it was night until I got tired before I decided to stop and rest for a while. I shifted back to my human form fully clothed and began to stretch. It's been a while since I had shifted.

Hi Jade. A new voice sounded in my head.

Um...hi? Who are you? And how are you in my head? I was so confused.

Oh, I'm Empress, your vampire. I was shocked to the point that I was gaping widely at a tree. I bet you if someone saw me, they'd lock me up no questions asked because who the hell gapes at a tree?

How is this possible? I asked.

We'll explain everything in due time but for now, you're going to shift. This is going to hurt, Empress told me. For whatever insane reason I trusted her, having no doubts whatsoever in her words.

I braced myself for the pain to come, but when it did, I felt as if my body was on fire! I've been burnt before, so I know! I felt fangs extend in my mouth, my nails grew harper and longer. My clothes morphed into a red and black high-low dress with black stockings and boots, my eyes burned as I saw from distances. When it was over, I reverted to normal dropping on my knees panting.

Why... Why did that hurt so much? I asked.

Because you weren't supposed to shift until you turn sixteen. A new voice said. Hi, I'm Diamond, your angel. Okay, now you're going to shift again, ready? I sighed standing up again.

Yeah. As soon as I answered I started shifting. My clothes once again changed, this time into a white dress that left my back exposed. I felt something on my back start to fight its way out of my shoulders and damn did it hurt like hell. Wings sprouted from my back, easing up the war that it had to be free, it was white with a little gold in between. I shifted back... after flapping my wings a little.

Two more to go, then you're good. Safire said. I was already tired I might black out soon.

Alright, now you have me, your demon. My name’s Ruby, remember it! Let’s go! And I started to shift again. I changed into a black dress with lace on the arms. I had on black boots with it, my wings sprouted white then as if being painted faded to red and black. I even felt a crown on my head. By the way, I'm royalty, well...we all are. That explains a few things.

Okay, don't shift back yet! Let's just go straight into the witch to save time. I agreed.

Alright! I'm Scarlet, your witch. Nice to meet you. I changed from my demon straight into my witch.

She had a dress also; the top had white and black stripes, the skirt part being black. I had on white and black heel boots.

Reach into the boot! I did and found a wand. Nice... I put it back shifting back to normal.

I sighed, exhausted and body throbbing in pain, so much so that I started seeing black spots. Suddenly, wolves ran up and surrounded me. One shifted, nude and all, before he decided to slip on some pants. He was the last thing I saw before passing out and hearing him mutter in surprise.

"Mate."

I'm sorry... what?!

Daniel POV

I am in the office with my dad, helping him do alpha work since I might be alpha soon. He decided he wanted to retire early, so he had begun to teach me the ropes of being an alpha and the duties that come with it. He even allowed me to act as the alpha from time to time just to see if I'm a bad alpha or what needed to be improved.

Alpha! We found a rogue in our borders. My soon-to-be beta, Kyle mind linked me. He too was acting as beta for the day and all orders were to come to me for today anyway.

Hearing of the rogue, my body went rigid, and I instantly had the instinct to hunt them down before any harm could come to my pack. I looked up at Dad as l waited for his order. He raised his eyebrow, nodding toward the door.

"Why are you watching me? I'm not the alpha right now. Get going." I shot up and ran out of the office and through the packhouse. The moment I was by the front door, I quickly tugged my shirt off and shifted into my black wolf.

Make sure that they don't get away! I ordered all the wolves that joined Kyle to stop the rogue.

Alpha, the wolf is a she-wolf.

I became shocked at the news. Rogue she-wolves were rare. It was mainly men that hated being the rank they are in their pack that defected for power. As I got closer to the others a scent hit me. It smelled like strawberry and chocolate mixed with what smelled like... a lily. My wolf stirred, anticipation and excrement began to roll off him in waves.

Go! Go find mate! As soon as he practically screamed those words, my heart sped up and with that, my pace picked up too.

I stopped by the others and we all slowly surrounded her but kept our distance in case she attacked. I stared at her almost getting lost in her beauty before I shook myself out of it and shifted. I tugged on a pair of pants that Kyle threw at me before I began to make my way over to her.

I frowned as she began to sway. My eyes widened as she began falling backward. Alert, I ran to her using wolf speed, catching her right before she hit the ground. As soon as our skin touched, sparks erupted from our mate bond. "Mate," I mumbled softly as I watched her eyes close. My own heart was beating erratically, worry for my new mate surfacing. I see no injuries, so why did she pass out? That thought lingered.

Perhaps she was exhausted from running. She does look tired, my wolf suggested to ease both our worries.

I hummed, brushing some of her hair out of her face, and smiling at how beautiful she is.

She's not a threat. Let's head back. I'll take care of her, I told the others that were still watching us. They all nodded their wolf heads and turned running back to the packhouse. Swooping up my mate in my arms I made my way to the pack doctor. He'll know if anything is wrong.

The moment I arrived at the pack hospital I went to the alpha ward, and they took her from me. I refused to leave her side, so I promised that I would stay out of their way. When they finished, the pack nurse came over to me. She checked over the notes then nodded and smiled up at me.

"She'll be fine. She just needs to rest, so when she wakes up, don't overwork her or cause her too much stress. It looks like she did that to herself before she passed out." I nodded in thanks and went into the room she was in when I was given the go-ahead.

I sat myself down on the chair beside her bed where she rested peacefully with an IV in her arm to give her some fluid that she lost. I smiled then went to mind-link with Dad.

Dad! I found my mate!! I all but yelled in excitement.

I heard him chuckle. That's great, son! I can't wait to meet her. Just ensure you're clean when she wakes up though! Don't want her to wake up to her dirt-covered mate, yeah?

I chuckled. Sure thing, Dad.

I cut the link with the smile never leaving my face.

As the night got darker, I decided to listen to Dad and did as he told me to. I stroked her hair lovingly before I left the hospital and all but ran home to go shower and change from these clothes. I went to my house to take a shower instead of heading to the packhouse or my parents. After my shower, I lay on the bed to relax for a bit, instead, I ended up falling asleep.

The sound of my alarm clock blaring in my right ear was what woke me up the next morning. I groaned softly before I willed myself out of bed, took a shower, and slipped on some pants and a vest. Now awake, I remembered I had my mate that I desperately wanted to see. I quickly shoveled my breakfast down my throat and rushed to the hospital heading straight to the room my mate was in.

Jade POV

What happened? was the first thought to come to mind as I couldn't remember anything. And... where the hell am I?

Promptly all of yesterday's events replayed in my head giving me a slight headache and waking me up a bit more.

Oh right, I got rejected by an asshole, found out I was basically a mix of supernatural beings, and found my second mate. To top it off, I passed out... Fantastic.

I groaned at my thoughts. Shifting, I began to open my eyes, only to be blinded by the lightbulb shining directly on me. I groaned some more. Turning on my side, I blinked my eyes open, so I wasn't looking into the light then slowly sat up. I looked around the room wondering where I was until I stopped at a figure sitting by the wall chair. His light brown eyes stared at me intensely, watching my every move.

I frowned at him. "What?"

He didn't answer. Before any more could be said, his scent hit me. He smelled like lavender and honey. Realization dawned on me.

Oh, so he's my mate. I looked away from him frowning as he walked closer to me.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly.

"You're going to reject me." Pain filled me at the mere thought. Being rejected twice by both mates. How unlucky was I...

"Why would I reject you?" He seemed shocked that I even spoke the words. But I didn't get my hopes up.

"Because I'm a freak and you won't want someone like me as your mate." I wasn't even finished when he began to shake his head.

"No, you're wrong. You're beautifully stunning and I don’t know you yet, but I already know everything I want and need. By the way, I love your eyes." I blushed, staring in shock before smiling. A thought decided to dawn on me then, making my eyes widen and causing me to gasp.

"Were you the one to shift last night?" He nodded. I gaped at him, my face turning red "What the fuck?! What is wrong with you?"

It was his turn to be shocked and confused now. "What?"

"You were naked!"

His shocked face turned into amusement as he smirked and shrugged. "You were bound to see me naked some time."

I shook my head. He's right. Multiple voices sounded. Be quiet!

"But, but not so soon! I mean, come on! Look at you!" He frowned as I gestured to his body "What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing! That's what's wrong. You're hot! You can't just stand in front of anyone like that!" I rambled only to pause as my mind finally registered what I was saying. My face that had cooled down burned a brighter red than it had before.

"So, you think I'm hot?" He smiled. Pure joy and amusement danced in his eyes. I bit my lip looking everywhere but him. "You know, I didn't catch your name." He leaned forward.

"Jade. My name's Jade."

He smiled, eyes shining more than before. "I'm Daniel."

"What pack am I in?"

"The Red Dawn Pack."

I nodded letting the information sink in.

"Come on. My dad wants to meet you. I have some spare clothes in my house."

I nodded and threw the sheet off me.

As soon as I stood up, Daniel flipped me over putting me on his back. A surprised sound left my lips.

"I could walk you know." Not that I was complaining. The sparks electrocuting my skin felt nice and his scent was intoxicating.

We went to his house. It was a nice two-story house with glass doors and all that other stuff. We walked up the stairs, well...he did. We entered a room that I assumed were his since his scent was all over it. He set me down and I followed him into his walk-in closet.

"My mom brought clothes for my mate even though we didn't know what size you were, but she refused to listen. When I got my own house, she brought extra clothes for this occasion." I smiled at the mention of his mom.

"I'll leave you to fix yourself up. Meet me downstairs when you're done," he whispered, then kissed my ear sending shivers down my spine.

As he left, I picked out some clothes hoping they'd fit. Going into his joined bathroom, I found a cupboard with fluffy towels and took one before stripping off my clothes and taking a nice hot shower. After, I wrapped the fluffy towel around me and found an extra toothbrush in his cabinet. I brushed my teeth and hair then changed into the clothes I selected: ripped jeans with a white crop top that had the word 'Dope' in gold. I combed my fingers through my hair, making sure I had gotten all the knots out. Slipping on wedge sneakers that were slightly bigger than my feet but still comfortable, I walked downstairs to see Daniel patiently waiting for me.

He looked over, hearing me enter the room. He looked me up and down as he met me halfway. "Ready?"

I nodded and we left.

As soon as we got to the packhouse all eyes turned to me and whispers began. Daniel growled at them in warning, shutting them up and making them look away. He took my hand and guided me through the house heading to the alpha floor and entering one of the rooms. A man that looked to be in his mid-twenties was sitting behind the desk. However, his eyes told me he was much older.

He stared, judging me quietly before he leaned forward and onto his hands.

"What's your name? How old are you? What pack were you from? Why'd you leave? And why are your eyes multicolored?" He shot multiple questions at me in one breath causing Daniel to glare at him. I stared a bit shocked myself before I took a deep breath.

"My name's Jade. I'm 15. 16 next week. I was from the Moon Pack, and I left because I used to get beaten by my dad and pack members because of my eyes. I don't know why my eyes are multicolored, but I like them that way." He nodded, satisfied with my answers.

"I am Alpha Rogers. But you can call me John. Nice to meet you, Jade." I smiled at him.

Can I tell them? There were whispers in the back of my mind before Diamond spoke up.

Tell them. We can trust them. With permission given, I looked at Daniel.

"There's something you should know, both of you." Father and son looked at me. I fidgeted a bit before I just blurted it out. "I'm a hybrid." Their eyes widened.

"How long have you known this? Were you going to keep this information from us? I understand we just met and all but that is crucial information that is a must-know. At least to your alpha," John explained, eyes still widened.

I sighed. "I only found out yesterday before they found me," I said sheepishly. "And I promise I wouldn't have kept this from you for long."

"That's why you passed out?" I nodded at Danny's question.

"Yeah... and all my sides are royalty, which means I could get powers. At least, that's what they told me. Nothing will happen until I'm 16 though, so none of us have to worry for a while..." They nodded. John relaxed at my answers. Danny hugged me leaning close to my ear.

"Nothing you say will make me change my mind about you being my mate. By the way, you look hot."

I blushed, smiling at his words, causing Daniel to chuckle at me.

"Oh, for the love of–! Get out of my office and do that somewhere else!" I giggled a bit at John's 'angry' yelling. "And Jade...welcome to the pack... welcome home." John smiled at me.

I gave a breathless laugh, nodding at his words since I didn't know what to say. Thank you wasn't enough for me. Since I was in the pack now and their future luna, I felt the pack link between everyone. This pack is huge.

I wonder... what will the future hold for me and my new pack and mate. I smiled to myself.

Whatever it is. I'll try my hardest to be ready.
