Chapter2 :
Mileena POV:
"Hey everyone, anyone up for hanging out?" I asks.
“ We don’t want to be caught dead hanging with you, you are an abomination” a girl with blond hair says.
"Mandy, we all agree that we don't want you near us. It would be best if you stayed away before things get worse," said the girl, with her friend laughing beside her.
Exiting the school, I begin my journey by walking home. While walking, I began reflecting on my messy life. The experience of becoming a white wolf has led to me being treated terribly, with people giving me hostile looks and actively discouraging their children from associating with me. When I go to school, entering a classroom result in everyone becoming silent, making things worse. I walk with my head down, going straight to my desk. I purposely avoid making eye contact because I sense their animosity towards me.
I went through a phase where I would cry myself to sleep every night, pondering why they treated me the way they did. When I'm around my parents, I tend to keep my emotions hidden. My intention was never for them to witness me in this state. If they found out what I'm going through, it would hurt them. My intention was to steer clear of causing more conflicts in the pack.
Both my parents are revered as the top warriors in our pack, earning the respect of all, and I can't bear the thought of damaging their reputation because of me. After reaching my house, I unlock the front door and proceed inside. Closing the door, I make my way into the living room. Not seeing my parents, I went to the kitchen and discovered a note on the table that I read.
Hey Mileena,
I wanted to inform you that your father and I had to join another pack to train their fighters. We'll be away for a few days. We left you money, remember to lock up before you go. We'll be back at home shortly.
With love from Mom,
I put the letter back on the table, then went to the refrigerator to get lunchmeat and cheese. I made myself a sandwich. After finishing my sandwich, I decided to go for a run since I don't have any friends. My only friend, Xyla my wolf, is someone I confide in and who truly understands me. We share a strong bond, which allows her to feel the same pain as me.
Leaving the house, I remembered to lock the door. Without wasting any time, I successfully reached the forest. I scan my surroundings for any onlookers, then disrobe and hide my clothing behind a tree. I quickly morphed into a white wolf and began running swiftly.
Xyla and I had a great time running together for hours, enjoying each other's company and communicating. Running has the power to clear our minds, bring us peace, and create an environment where we can be true to ourselves. While we continued running, we spotted a lake up ahead. I went there in order to grab a drink. Once I reached my limit, I relaxed and savored the scenery. Moments like this made me yearn to be a normal wolf instead of a cursed one.
"Mileena, never believe that you are cursed," Xyla reassures.
“Why are we referred to as abominations if we're not cursed?”
“Their fear stems from lack of understanding. We were made by the moon goddess in her own image. It's time to embrace it with courage and determination.”
“Xyla, do you believe acceptance will ever come our way?”
“I have faith that one day, people will come to appreciate us. All we need is faith in the moon goddess and her desires. For our survival, Mileena, we need to be strong.”
“Rest assured, I will do everything in my power to not let you or our parents down.”
“That a girl” Xyla going back into my mind, I raise up and started back running to my house.
