Alpha Cameron's Vengeful Mate
An hour later, I heard the fireworks going off, and I found out that it is now midnight. Why they are having fireworks for a coming-of-age party is ridiculous and is also why they are almost out of money. They have no sense at all when it comes to money. It is like the concept of budgeting is foreign to them. My phone dings and I check it to see that there’s a notification from the bank telling me that all funds have been transferred to my account and to check in with them tomorrow if I need anything.
Finally, I got up and dusted myself off before running back to the pack house and heading straight to my room. I go to my bathroom and take a shower before dressing in a night shirt and panties. I lie in bed waiting until the house is quiet before sneaking into the kitchen and making myself a sandwich. I’m allowed to eat but not when anyone is around. They say it is because I’m too disgusting to look at but really it is because Mark and some of the other guys won’t stop staring at me, and it upsets their little princess.
After I make my sandwich, I quickly run back to my room to eat and when I’m done, I lie in bed thinking. My mind drifts to memories of my parents and when I had friends and life was not so difficult. I’ve dreamed of my mate finding me and taking me away to a pack that treats every member right. Instead, I got stuck with a wannabe social climber that couldn’t think for himself. I guess I dodged a bullet with him anyway. For all I know, he probably would have just tried to get my money, like the Alpha and Luna. Getting access to my money would definitely get him in their good graces and allow him to be with their daughter. No matter how much Amelia likes him, she knows as well as I do that her parents want to have her mate with one of the Alphas or their sons who were invited to her party. She is the daughter of an Alpha and nobody else will be good enough for their little viper. I used to pray to the Moon Goddess that she would either never have a mate or to let her be mated to a low-level demon. Yes, demons do exist, and so do vampires, werewolves, banshees, witches, sirens, fairies, and a host of other beings, but we don’t mingle. Everyone pretty much sticks to their own species, though there have been times in history when someone was mated to someone of another species. It is a very rare occurrence but it has happened.
I set my alarm to wake up extra early so that I can get breakfast before they all wake up and go for a run. Once my alarm is set, I pray to the Moon Goddess to grant me safe passage out of here and hope that nobody catches me before I reach the border. My duffle bag is already packed and ready for me to go. When I hit the town, I will go to meet my lawyer to receive my documents and bank card then I’ll just need to find somewhere to live. Maybe I’ll travel for a little while before settling down somewhere. Leaving here will make me a rogue, so I’ll have to be careful and make sure that I do not enter into another pack’s territory. The last thing I need is to gain my freedom from this hell to end up a prisoner in another pack.
The next morning, I woke at 4 a.m. and headed downstairs to the kitchen. Breakfast was being done by the caterers, so I didn’t have to worry about cooking, but I would have to clean when everyone woke up. Jokes on them, because I planned on being long gone by then. They will all more than likely be waking up late due to all the partying and drinking from last night. I plan on taking advantage of that and running while they are sleeping and the patrols won’t be so hard to get around due to shift changes.
After my breakfast, I head to the forest and once I’m deep enough inside, I strip naked and shift into my silver wolf. She stretches and then takes off like lightning through the forest. I give her complete control as she runs a couple of laps before going to the meadow and I shift back into my human form. Lying on the grass naked, I soak up the first of the morning’s rays. The wind blows and the grass around me tickles my sides. A few more minutes of peace and then I get up and shift back into my wolf and head back to my clothes.
