Chapter 2: Chapter 2
Life in the pack
Catalaya's POV
Smack!! I was brought out of my sleep by a slap on the cheek, I could feel my face beginning to swell and I knew that the hand print would be visible. I looked up to see who it was this time that had come to take out their problems on the human punching bag only to see my dearest sister Jasmine aka the slut as I call her in my head I wouldn't dare say it out loud because that would earn me punishment my body can't handle.
She had a look of disgust on her face as she yelled
"get your fat ass up and go make us breakfast before mom wakes up and decides to skin you alive" then walked out of my room aka the garage while slamming the door.
I quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom, I took a 5 minutes shower seeing as that's all the time I have to spare then change into a tank top and some baggy jeans as well as my worn out sweater, I rush to the kitchen to prepare breakfast heeding the warning Jasmine so 'kindly' gave me.
Oh my how rude of me I haven't even introduced myself.
My name is Catalaya Freeman and this is my story of how i became the princess of hell. I have raven black hair and deep blue eyes, I'm a human which basically makes me a disappointment to my parents because everyone in my family is a pure blood werewolf.
When I reached the age of twelve I was suppose to shift like every other werewolf except I didn't and it was later found out that I didn't have a wolf which basically made me the freak of the pack occupying the lowest rank because I am weaker than a human I am the wolf-less girl. Ever since then I became the slave of the pack the lowest of the low.
Well it's not exactly a pack seeing as it's not only wolves and we don't have an alpha, it includes people from all species, it's like a big alliance but we're know as the hybrid pack none the less. According to history our pack was created when all the leaders of the species in our pack banded together to fight a great evil that plagued the earth a long time ago and had been a pack ever since. They also banded together to help stop Lucifer when he went on a rampage 16 years ago for reasons still unknown.
We don't have an alpha but we do have a leader, the arch angel Gabriel. However, he left us under the supervision of his son Noah four years ago, those have been the worst years of my life. Noah is the biggest jackass I know and also my number one tormentor he uses his position to make my life a living hell and everyone else follows his lead. Not having a wolf wasn't my only default i was also looked down on because of the colour of my skin, I have dark chocolate coloured skin which i find absolutely beautiful although its filled with scars its actually the prettiest thing about me, although everyone else see it as a flaw.
I have no clue why these people hate me so much I have done nothing to them but ever since I turned twelve years old everyone turned on me, the only people who are nice to me and stand up for me is my big brother and my best friends
Dominic always make sure I get something to eat even when mom tells them not to give me anything and he gets me clothes when mine become unwearable he always protects me when he sees anyone trying to mess with me.
There's Alana who is also archangel Gabriel and head witch Sylvia's daughter, even though she's the archangels daughter she is super nice and she became my friend in middle school when she turned a boy into a mouse and let him hang by his tail for an entire day when he purposely bumped into me and stepped on my notes. She's a angel/witch hybrid.
Next is Aquarius she is a hot headed no nonsense type of girl hence the bundle of red hair on her head. She is a Mermaid and also the daughter of king Adam who rules the seas. We've been friends since we were five.
Then there's Freya. She is an original vampire and her coven resides in new Orleans where her dad is the leader of the clan. She is an amazing cook especially when it comes to southern cooking recipes plus her accent is hella funny. She is a very patient person but once you get her angry it's almost impossible to calm her down I send my prayers out to her mate if he ever gets her angry lol.
After that is Harlequin or Harley as we call her. She is a cute little fairy who is just so loveable, I don't think there is a person in this world who can dislike her I swear there isn't a bad bone in that girl she's a calm person who always likes to see the bright side of things and she's also the next Heir to the throne in the fairy kingdom.
And finally Merlin. He is what you call a man whore, I will admit that with his blonde hair and emerald green eyes he's really a heart stopper and he's got dimples that will make even a dyke drool over him plus being the son of Zeus really has its perks. His mom is a human but don't let that fool you she will kick your ass if you mess with her.
So that's basically all the people in my life that actually gives a damn about me now back to what I was saying.
I set the table and mixed the batter for the final set of pancakes I was about to prepare. I had earlier heard my mother and father wake up so I was in a hurry to finish not wanting to face their wrath if they were to come down and breakfast wasn't ready.
I quickly finished up the pancakes and cleaned the kitchen before they could reach down stairs. As i placed the goblet filled with orange juice on the table Dominic walked into the kitchen followed by Jasmine then our parents.
"Hey baby sis" he greeted with a kiss on the forehead.
Looking at the table he frowned seeing i only placed four chairs instead of five
"Cat what did I tell you about excluding yourself from the table when it's time to eat? Here sit on my chair while i go grab another" he told me leading me to his chair.
Seeing the glare my parents were sending my way I told him
"it's ok Nic I'm not hungry besides I have to get to school early to hand in my final assignments to Mr Schmidt before class you know how he is"
He looked at me skeptically then gave me the 'I don't believe you but I'll drop it for now' look
"ok fine but if your gonna go at least grab some fruits first and a carton of juice before you go, not having breakfast isn't healthy and remember I'll pick you up after school ok?"
I nodded as I took up two apples and a small carton of orange juice then grabbed my backpack and made my way to school. I could tell mom didn't want me to have any breakfast the way she looked at me as I took up the apples but I also knew that Nic wouldn't stop until I ate something so I ignored her death glares and took the fruit anyway.
As i was walking to school with my headphones on I suddenly heard a car honk and the next thing I knew I was soaked in dirty water. I looked up to see Noah and his idiot friends laughing as they drove away I can't believe those idiots splashed me ugh I swear I hate them.
Knowing I won't be able to turn back now I continued my five minutes walk to school drenched in dirty water. I thanked the moon goddess today is Friday and the last day of school so I won't have to spend another moment in the same building with those jackass until summer break ends.
Plus tomorrow is my 16th birthday and I'll be able to meet my mate. I can't wait, I hope he's someone sweet and caring and I really hope it's no one in this pack because all the guys here are idiots. The only downside to my birthday is that Noah and I share the same birthday and because of that he always steals my thunder with his outrageous parties he forces me to go to because his rank is higher. I also heard archangel Michael is coming back tomorrow because it's Noah's birthday and he's of the age where he will meet his mate.
I swear I hate noah to my very core for someone that's an angel he sure acts like a demon. I refuse to allow him to ruin my birthday tomorrow because I will find my mate (hopefully) and be happy even though I have to attend his stupid party so he can search for his mate, but why do I have to go it's not like he and I are gonna be mates that is just not possible we are mortal enemies.
You see mates are like what humans would call a soul mate all supernatural creatures have one. Your mate is supposed to be kind and loving and they will protect you and they will want no one else but you and vice versa or at least that what the elders said but I don't care I just want my mate.
The sound of the first bell brings me out of my thoughts as I enter the school yard. I can see persons staring at me but I just ignore them I can also see the idiots who splashed me laughing their heads off like it's some funny joke. I open the doors of the school and walk into the hall way ignoring the stares and whispers trying to get to my locker for the fresh suit of clothes that I always keep in there seeing as this isn't the first time something like this has happened.
As I placed my books that I'll need for class as well as the clothes in my bag, I heard someone yell
"why the fuck are your clothes wet"
I sighed knowing it was Aquarius because that girl's mouth knows no boundaries.
"Language" Alana scolded while giving her a slap on the back of her head
"ouch that hurts Lana" Aquarius whined
"well you should known better than to be shouting profanities like that so openly at school" Alana replied.
Aquarius walked over to me pouting while mumbling incoherent words under her breath I just shook my head at the two they are as crazy as can be.
"Hey cat sorry I couldn't pick you up this morning, mom and dad got back late last night and I woke up late this morning by the time I passed your house you were already gone" she apologized.
"It's cool besides I had already decided i was gonna walk this morning" I told her.
"Let me guess noah and his goons" she said motioning to my drenched state
"yup" I replied popping the 'p'.
"gigantesco mano y stomp"
She chanted then we heard a car alarm go off an announcement was made then noah ran past us out the door asking who destroyed his baby.
We all walked to the bathroom laughing so I could clean myself up and changed my clothes, then we headed to class. I didn't have any class with Lana, Freya or Harley today but we all had the same lunch time. Merlin and I had math in the morning so I knew I'd see him when I got there and Aquarius and I had art class in second period so all in all today won't be that bad.
-----------------------------------------------------
Today was the worst day of my life I mean I've had bad days before but today was the worst of the worst. After been splashed by noah and his goons this morning Mr Schmidt gave us a pop quiz in the middle of the class that i was totally unprepared for I mean who gives a pop quiz on the last day of school? Saying it'll be added to our grades for next school year.
Then in art class some idiot messed with my paintings and ruined my work, I had to stay over during lunch break to do it all over so I ended up not eating any lunch and in science class Jasmine bumped my table then lied to the teacher saying I hit the chemical over in an attempt to burn her when she was passing.
Now being the great actress she was the teacher believed or maybe it's because they hate me and do think that lowly of me, so he sent me to the principal's office where I got an hour long lecture and some not so subtle threats about what they would do to me if I tried to harm anyone else in the pack again.
See our school consist of super naturals and humans, of course the human don't know what we are. Some of our teachers are humans but the principal is a witch and what is the one thing they all have in common you ask? Their unprofound hatred for me.
So now here I am outside the school at 4:00 when school ended at 2 waiting on my brother to come pick me up. Why am I leaving school this late you may be wondering, well because of all my so called 'wrong deeds' I had to stay behind and clean up the school yard, yup my life sucks.
After half an hour of waiting I see my brother's Jeep driving up to the school gate.
"Hey sis sorry am late I was on patrol when you called" Nic says as I climbed into the Jeep
"Nah it's cool at least you came when you could have ignored me, by the way sorry to have disturbed you while you were on patrol it's just that my feet are so tired I couldn't handle walking home" I replied
"come on sis you know I'd do anything for you besides I would never ignore you" he told me as he drove off in the direction of our house.
As I opened the front door entering the house I was met with a slap in the face, What is it with these people and my face. Damion had dropped me off and went back to finish patrol.
"why the hell are you just reaching home this late school ended ages ago" my mom yelled
"I bet she was whoring around she looks like a walking STD anyway so it doesn't surprise me" this time it was my dad who spoke up.
Normally these insults would make me tear up and cry but I'm used to it plus I know no matter what reason I gave them for being late they wouldn't believe me anyway so I just dropped my bag at the door and walked to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
After I prepared dinner and set the table I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I didn't bother to come out of my room because I know they didn't leave anything for me, I laid on my bed thinking about my mate wondering who he is I really hope it isn't anyone from this pack. I was lost in my thoughts until I heard a ping on my phone signaling I got a message in the group chat, it was from Aquarius
A- hey cat you there what happened haven't seen you since art
Me- sorry had to finish my work during lunch then Jasmine pulled one of her stunts in science so I got sent to the principal then she made me clean the school yard until 4
A- aww babe am so sorry. We searched for you after school Jasmine said you went home early something about a chemical spill making you feel sick should have know that bitch lied
Me- it's ok
L- hey guys...cat am so sorry for what the happened and don't worry mom and dad will hear about this as well as what noah did this morning I bet mom will cancel his party
Me- hey Lana... please don't do that besides you know it'll just give them more reason to torment me
L- fine I won't but if he tries anything Tomorrow brother or not I will curse him to a life of misery
F- I could just drain him of his blood
Me- Freya you have been around Aquarius too long I see her violent habits are rubbing off on you
M- hello ladies
F- hey Merlin
Me- Merlin how do you think you did on that quiz Mr Schmidt gave us today
M- I have decided to remove the memory of that quiz from my brain I don't need that kind of negativity in my life
Me- lol I swear your crazy.
We talked until late in the night when everyone decided they were gonna go to bed seeing as they plan to drag me across the mall tomorrow. I was gonna go to bed as well but the beast in my stomach had other plans as it kept growling.
Knowing I wont be able to sleep unless I ate something I quietly made my way across the hall and into the kitchen, I made two PB&J sandwiches and drank some apple juice then ran back into the garage before anyone could hear me. I brushed my teeth then got into bed, as I pulled the cover up to my waist I sent out a prayer to the moon goddess to please let tomorrow be a good day.
