With tears streaming down my face, I ran out of the meeting room. I ran past a lot of my pack members who were sneering and murmuring at my direction and it only intensified my pain. Normally I had developed a natural resistance to their gossip and whispers but today, it just got to me.

“It’s the half-human, why is she crying? What a weakling.”

“Pathetic and useless. I can’t believe the Alpha even had a child with a human.”

“18 and still wolfless. So pitiful.”

The mocking words drilled into my head, swirling around my thoughts. They haunted me and made my heart break even more as I continued to run towards my room. My heart broke even more as I realized the full extent of my loneliness.

My father had ignored me completely when I turned to him for help. My step mother and Juliet were just literal assholes whose life goal was to make my life a living hell. Reed, my step brother never showed a reaction to anything except it concerned him. To sum it all up, I was alone.

I arrived at my room and banged the door shut, also bolting the door. I didn’t want any disturbance, I just wanted to lie down on my bed and cry myself to sleep. Today has officially turned into the worst day of my life. I got rejected to the college of my dreams which meant I definitely have to go back to the wolf academy tomorrow. My step mother and step sister were actively making sure I wouldn’t get breathing space and I had to go to a place infested with vampires all for the sake of a ‘diplomatic meeting’ . I was so frustrated.

I buried my head into my pillow and cried my eyes out. I called out for my mother, wishing she could hear my call and get me out of the hell hole but I knew it was just wishful thinking. I was stuck here.

Tears continued to flow like a broken dam and finally out of exhaustion, I fell asleep.

I usually had dreamless nights because let’s face it, what was there to dream about in this sort of hopeless situation? The pack I was living in had a way of just making anything I set my mind to feel like a wasted venture.

Tonight however, I actually dreamed about something or should I say….someone

I found myself standing before a colossal black castle. The stormy sky behind it provided the perfect backdrop giving the castle an eerie vibe around it.
