Chapter 3
Avery
The cool wind ruffled my pelt as I ran and ran. The coolness almost reminded me of Alpha Jake but I shook my head to clear the stu pid thoughts out of my head at once.
Alpha Jake wasn’t mine anymore, he belonged to Lily.
Having those kind of thoughts would just bring me nothing but pain. It will be a permanent reminder of how cruel fate has been to me.
The fact that he didn’t want me still send waves of awful pain through
me.
I made a special howl to the sky. Another howl answered me after a while.
Unknown to my pack members that thought the worst of me, I had made a friend over the years.
Her name was Sadie. Because she was the runt of her pack, her pack -members shunned her.
Sadie had a good background as her father was a Beta and a strict one at that. Her mother died during childbirth.
Her father blamed the death of his mate on Sadie. We were similar in that regard. It didn’t help the situation that Sadie didn’t inherit his beta blood and that she wasn’t a male werewolf.
All this things compiled to drop Sadie’s impression in her father’s sight and the pack members followed.
Outsiders can’t cherish what you degrade.
After Sadie’s father died in one of the pack battles, it marked the beginning of Sadie’s descent into hell. Sadie’s pack members treated her badly as time went on and she had to live at the edge of the territory. We found each other one night when I and Sadie coincidentally went for a breather in this woods that bordered my pack, Silver Crescent and her pack, Crimson Blessing.
That very day, I came across Sadie lamenting out loud to the forest. She was pitiful that day but I have no right to comment because that day, I was also worse for wear. I had come out of a bullying session with Chase and Dean. We were no different.
She was shocked to see me but she understood when she saw me that we were similar in more ways than one.
Our friendship bloomed from there and it remained as strong as the day it sprouted.
I picked up my pace as I raced to I and Sadie’s rendezvous point. Our rendezvous point was closer to Sadie’s pack than to my pack because we both agreed that Sadie’s treatment from her pack was better than mine.
At least if any werewolf from Sadie’s pack discovers the wooden shack that acted as our rendezvous point, her punishment would be milder than when my pack members discovers it if the location was closer to Silver Crescent pack.

I finally reached the wooden shack. I started to shift back to my human form.
My fur receded and my bones morphed to the required shape and length. I opened the shack’s door and entered.
The wooden shack’s interior was as bare as the outside. No sensitive materials were inside and we were too poor to furnish it with household items.
Our homes in our respective pack does not have good furnishing too.
I cleaned one part of the floor before settling down. I waited for Sadie to come to the shack.
My mind could not help straying to Alpha Jack. The thought of him still bring pain but the ache was dulled somehow. Now, only revenge and payback dominated my mind.
A rustle sounded. I looked up to see Sadie making her entrance with poise. I don’t really know why Sadie’s pack members discriminate against her. Sadie was beautiful and smart.
Her blond hair looked almost white and she had pale blue eyes that seemed to suck the person she was staring at into oblivion. Her eyes were different from Alpha Jake’s eyes in that regard.
Her figure was on point too and sometimes I feel like I can’t compare to her. She had the looks that demanded popularity.
“Hey beautiful.” Sadie said with a bright smile adorning her face. She was wearing a beautiful short sleeved top and knee length skirt.
Her pale skin was highlighted by the black skirt she wore.
I returned her smile without standing up. Maybe she saw how strained
my smile was as she sat down beside me after cleaning the spot she was going to settle in.
“What is wrong?” She asked after she made herself comfortable.
Remembering the ordeal I went through caused my eyes to sting. I looked away from Sadie.
“I got my mate yesterday.” I managed to croak out. I folded my knees against my torso before I wrapped my arms around it.
Sadie was confused before what happened finally dawned on her.
Anger clouded her face, “Don’t tell me he rejected you?”
I
gave a feeble nod before resting my head on my knees.
“Is he an Alpha?” Sadie asked when she managed to calm down. I nodded again.
“Don’t worry. That Alpha would see that he lost a very important thing. We will show him how blind he is.” Sadie promised vehemently.
I threw her a look of appreciation, “He isn’t native to our pack and after he rejected me, he got a second chance mate. He wouldn’t be around to see my improvements and my replacement was Lily.”
A gasp bounced off the walls.
Sadie’s eyes were open in shock.
“That Lily that pretends to be on your side? That is his second chance mate?” She shook her head, “Fate can be very cruel.”
I gazed past the door to the night sky that was dotted with stars and a huge luminous moon.
“I wanted to hurt them. I wanted to tear into their flesh so badly. I wanted to give them payback for what they have done. Am I a bad person?” I said without moving my sight from the beautiful landscape that is the sky.
Sadie patted my folded arm, “Having a few bad thoughts is normal, at least you have a right to that.”
Sadie stood and dashed out of the wooden shack.
“I am coming!” Her voice echoed through the woods before dying down.
Sadie came back a minute or two later with a big bag and a mirror in her
arms.
“I’m back. We are going to let loose today and have the best time of our lives.” Sadie informed me before setting everything down in the shack’s
floor.
She brought out attires from the bag and makeup tools.
