prologue

Sniffling I held onto my father’s leg for my dare life. Starring at the green and light green pattern through my blurry vision I didn’t want to let go, not yet.

“Don’t leave daddy,” I begged tugging on his pant leg. He opened the door and outside there they were, the people dressed like daddy. Shaking my head I cried into his leg. He knelled down and hugged me tightly.

“Rosie, I’ll be back soon,” he told me gently, but I knew, I knew he wouldn’t be coming back soon. Quivering my bottom lip, I shook tears racing down my light pale cheeks. He detached me from his leg and stood up before kissing my mum on the cheek, and then the worst happened the stepped out of the house and away from mum and me. I was about to run away him when the door shut in my face. Leaning my head on the door I cried, he left me.

“Rose, he didn’t leave, he’s coming back,” my mum explained softly. Shaking my head frantically I let the tears flood. Turning around I looked at my mum and hugged her leg.

“I miss him alweady Cassia,” I cried and wished he didn’t lie to me. She hugged back, it felt unnatural. Pulling away I ran into the living room and hugged the complete stranger. Even hugging her felt more comfortable and real than hugging my mummy.

“Sorry about Rose, she is just… sad about her father leaving,” my mum explained to the lady I was hugging tightly. The lady smiled in sympathy and hugged back trying to comfort me.

“It’s okay,” she cooed in my ear causing me to calm down. I nodded and smiled slightly at her.

“Cassia, is daddy going to be alwight,” I questioned my mum. She smiled and nodded but I didn’t believe her so I turned around and looked at the pretty lady. She has sandy blonde hair, ocean blue eyes, and light skin that glowed. Around her neck was a pretty necklace with a picture of a howling wolf and a feather underneath it.

“I like your necklace,” I complemented with a light voice I only use if I think I’m going to get in trouble. The lady noticed and put on a bright smile that made me feel alright again.

“You have one just like it,” she explained and pulled it out of her light blue purse. Handing it to me I studied it with big blue eyes.

“It’s mine,” I questioned astonished. She nodded and I hugged her tightly again. Why can’t she be my mum, I like her. My real mum scuffed and walked out of the living room. Tilting my head slightly I wondered if I could go home with her, I don’t have my daddy here to protect me from mum no more.

“Can I go with you, daddy left and he-he-he can’t protect me no more,” I whispered in the ladies ear. She pulled back and looked at me her glowing slightly dulled and she frowned.

“Protect you from what,” she whispered back to him and tickled my side so she could see my smile.

“Cassia and the dark, I don’t like the dark.” She eyes lightened and her thinking face came about.

“You can, I have a secret you should know,” the lady proclaimed softly then looked at the kitchen to see if my mum was looking, then continued “I’m your real mum.” My weak smile became strong and I hugged her and the howling wolf necklace. I wrapped my tiny legs around her as she stood up and she carried me out of the house to a car. It was small and only had two seats, and it was silver. She placed me in the seat to the right and I sat there. She went around the car and sat in the over side and drive off after she put the sit belt on me. Sitting on my knees I looked up over the dashboard in complete awe. My real mummy came to a stop in front of a gigantic house. It looks at least 10 times larger than my other one, I might get lost I thought to myself sadly.

“You won’t let me get lost in there would you,” I asked the lady that proclaims to be my mummy I think she is, I’m not afraid of her and I like her hugging me.

“I won’t,” she answered and took my necklace from my clenched hand and put it around my tiny neck. I nodded and felt the necklace move with my movement, the cold sliver slid and it went back went I stopped moving. She got out of the car and came around to my side and unbuckled me. I climbed out of the seat and took my mum’s soft hand. She led me up the path into the giant house. Holding her hand tightly I looked around my big blue eyes widen in awe. The floors were shiny and white while the walls were a dark grey. I heard a bunch of footsteps and squeezed my mum’s hand afraid. She squeezed back and looked down at me reassuringly. Looking down at the ground I saw feet but didn’t look up. Some of my light blonde hair fell out the long braid behind my back and fell into my face.

“This is my daughter, Rosalie,” my mum introduced me causing me to look up with a weak smile. Thinking back to my daddy I had doubts about him, is he really my daddy? I leaned closer to my right into my mum causing some of the ladies to smile.

“She’s so cute,” one of them exclaimed and I scowled. Cute? Like a bunny rabbit, no I’m pretty like my mum.

“I’m not cute, cute is for bunny rabbits and kitty cats, I’m neither,” I retorted half sad half mad, just like my thought I continued, “I’m pretty like my mummy.” One of the little boy’s in the front smirked while some of the others laughed. The girls giggled and the adults looked dumbfounded.

“Isabelle, she is defiantly a keeper, she’s alpha isn’t she like her father,” a male adult questioned my mum nodded then scanned the room.

“Of course she is, it’s not like it could skip a generation, where is her father anyways,” my mum answered then became skeptical. She stopped looking around and her eyes landing on a guy in a white shirt and black pants. He has blue sapphire eyes like me and light blonde hair as I do, come to think of it he looks like a male, older, version of me. My head tilted slightly and I had an urge to go and hug him, more than I ever had to hug my daddy. Maybe, he is my real daddy like the lady is my real mum. My mummy led me over to the man and smiled. I looked up at him in admiration, he looks powerful and like a superhero.

“I like you,” I stated and smiled showing my baby teeth, after I said that I hugged his leg. A melodious laugh echoed the room and he placed his big hand on my head.

“I like you too Rosalie,” he said back causing me to only smile even more. I was still holding onto my mum’s hand I unattached myself from my father’s leg. Looking over to the crowd of people I wondered who they were.

“What are your names,” I questioned starring at all of them.

“I’m Melissa,” a girl stated with a snobby attitude first I shrugged it off being the nice 5 year old I am, but then she rolled her eyes and made me hate her. Everyone groaned at her behavior so I figured it wasn’t a first. Melissa looked about 7 grey eyes, sandy blonde hair and sun kissed skin. The girl next to her simply scooted over away from her.

“I’m Natalie,” the girl that moved stated sweetly, her chocolate brown hair drooping down into her light hazel brown eyes. Her light skin had that soft glow just as my mother did.

“Blake,” an 8 year old boy stated looked annoyed, I laughed shaking my head some more loose strains fell out and I ignored them. Blake looked like and sounded like Melissa’s twin, the only thing different were their ages.

“I’m Aero,” an 5 year old boy like me stated, he has light blonde hair and vibrant green eyes, lightly tanned skin and two dimples when he smiled. His voice was sweet and melodic I could tell he was faking it. Again I laughed but because I could see the pain of being nice in his vibrant green eyes.

“I’m Mr. Baron,” a male adult with the same features of Aero said and his wife, I believe elbowed him.

“I’m Mrs. Baron,” she introduced herself also, but she has muddy brown eyes and sandy blonde hair. I smiled at them and waited for the rest to introduce themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Gomez have a son named Henry, Mr. Gomez and Henry both had black hair and Mrs. Gomez and Henry had both hazel green eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Keener have a daughter named Mackayla, they all have red hair that was almost orange and a shade of brown eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas have twins; a girl named Dominique and a son named Dominic, the twins both have dark brown hair and light green eyes while Mr. Nicholas has grey eyes and light brown hair and Mrs. Nicholas has green eyes and Black hair. After everyone was introduced the adults went into a room and the kids ran into the living room. Aero the boy my age came over to me with Natalie and Mackayla, they all took some part of me and dragged me into the living room.

chapter one.

The alarm blazed and I groaned keeping my eyes shut, slapping the snooze button it hurt my hand and I groaned even louder. I always do that, I thought to myself miserably. I heard my door open I but I failed to open my eyes and see who it was. Someone jumped on my bed and shook me. I groaned ready to punch whoever it was. Peeking one eye opened Blake had wide eyes and was starring insanely at me while shaking me.

“Someone’s up early,” I grumbled and pushed him off my bed. Slipping out of my bed I wondered why he was even up, he graduated two years ago.

“I had to make sure you got up,” he exclaimed loudly and I groaned and heard grumbling. Aero walked into my room and hit Blake, I see I wasn’t the only one he woke up. Natalie rushed into the room mad because she also was woken. I waited for Mackayla to lazily walk in because of everyone else, just as I thought that she came in while yawning.

“Blake,” she said in a bored tone then turned around walking back to her room. I pointed out of my room and Natalie and Blake left leaving Aero still in my room.

“Aero go get dress,” I grumbled looking away from his 8 pack. He laughed tiredly and walked out of my room closing the door behind him. Yawning I walked into my walk in closet. Taking my black lace see through lose shirt, a white tank top and white pants I walked into my bathroom. Tiredly I changed out of my pajamas and put on my outfit. Turning on the sink I splashed some cold water in my face waking me up a bit more. Drying off my face I felt my side being poke, out of reaction I jumped slightly. Groaning I placed the hand towel on the counter and faced Aero. I waved hi and then pushed him out of my bathroom. Being to lazy to shut the door I left it open and Aero just waited on my bed. He grumbled something and I looked over at him arching an eyebrow. He shrugged and I turned back to the mirror starting on my make-up. Putting on a thin layer of eyeliner on each eye I looked back over at Aero shaking his head.

“What,” I asked arching my eyebrow in questioning again.

“Why do you wear make-up and doesn’t that hurt,” he asked pointing to the eyeliner. I shook my head and placed it down then looked back to the mirror and put mascara on. Walking out of the bathroom I looked at Aero laying on my bed starring at the ceiling. Rolling my eyes I walked into my closet and sat on the floor choosing between five pairs of shoes. Aero came and sat next to me. Laying on my stomach I stretched and got my leopard wedged heels. Sitting back up straight I put them and looked over at Aero who was confused.

“Why do you girls wear heels? Why do I have so many questions about you girls,” he questioned utterly confused.

“We wear heels because you guys have to be so freaking tall and because they are pretty, and you have a lot of questions because we are basically a different species to you,” I explained as he stood up. I held out my hand for him to help me up but instead he rolled his eyes and walked out of the closet. Damn him, I thought to myself as I stood up. Untucking my necklace from under my shirt I starred at it. Snapping out of it I followed Aero out of my room. We walked to the top of the stairs I looked over at Aero in challenge he nodded his head and we counted to 3 in our heads. We I said three we both ran down the stairs. Smiling I flew down the stairs and nearly tripped into my father at the bottom. Aero, a second later, ran into me pushing me into my father. Why didn’t he move? Laughing I tried to say sorry to my daddy but it only came out as more laughing. Aero joined me laughing and my father rolled his eyes stalking over to the meeting room. Clutching my sides I tried to stop laughing. Once I controlled it Aero also stopped laughing but his lopsided grin stayed in place, making butterflies flutter in the middle of my stomach. Yelling at my stomach I felt crazy. Completely ignoring the feeling I walked into the kitchen and sat at the stool waiting for Natalie to pass me an apple. An apple rolled in front of me and I examined it because the last time she gave me an ugly bruised one. Realizing it was perfectly fine I bit into it and walked over to the refrigerator. Pointing my finger on my soccer schedule I ran it down to today’s date. No game, just practice. Wonderful, I thought to myself sarcastically when I remembered Ms. Slut was going to be there. She’s the only reason I have to dislike practice. Rolling my eyes at the thought of her I bit into my apple and watched everyone talk and eat. Ignoring them I walked into the living room and picked up my backpack ready to go to school. Putting on my glasses that don’t help my vision I had to walk through the kitchen to throw away the rest of my apple that I took five bites of.

“Rose, why do you wear the glasses you have perfect eyesight,” Nat asked pulling the glasses off my face. Looking at Kay for help she shrugged. I sighed and took them back.

“Because, guys are jerks and don’t like girls with glasses, so glasses equal no jocks trying to be players,” I explained and slid them back on. Aero laughed and got up from his stool and took them off throwing them in the trash next to my half eaten apple. I starred at them and bit my lip.

“Aero, you know I love you but right now, I hate you,” I whined, and starred at my glasses some more than sighed in defeat.

“You look better without them,” he said laughing.

“So, basically I looked ugly with them,” I complained, and he shook his head. Sighing I rolled my eyes at everyone and made my way out to the garage. Stepping in I noticed that my car wasn’t there, I was about to panic when I remembered the accident I got into. It’s only getting fixed.

“Aero, can I get a ride,” I called from the garage looking at my space where my car is supposed to be. He walked into the garage and looked at it also.

“Anything for my best friend,” he replied and walked over to his ford GT that was a glossy black. Opening the passenger door for me I stepped in and gave him a weird look. He called me best friend AND opened the door for me, what is this? Running around the front of the car he slid into the driver’s seat and roared the engine as the garage door opened. He drove to school silently and I starred out the window thinking about my fake-daddy. A small weak smile formed on my lips as I thought back to the memories of him, but I slowly disappeared when I thought about him leaving, would he truly just leave me like that. Watching the blur of trees pass but I waited for it to be replaced by out school. Just before we made it to the school Aero and I joked about the track team, you see we’re both athletic. I, being on the soccer team, and him being on the football team. He pulled into our school’s parking lot and the school’s sluts united around the driver’s side for Aero. My eyebrow arched at him and he sighed.

“What is it like having your own fan club of sluts,” I questioned fake using an air microphone. He laughed into it.

“Horrible, they are like creepy status, following me everywhere,” he reported into the microphone. Smiling I shook my head and pushed the microphone hand closer to his face.

“How do you feel about being able to have any girl in the school,” I asked slightly sad, I ignored it and tried to hide it. Aero looked into my eyes and they probably flashed with sadness.

“I can’t have the one I want,” he answered sadly, not even hiding it.

“Who might that be,” I questioned failing to hide my sadness. Shaking my head I took my hand back and waved to him getting out of the car with my backpack. All of the sluts’ eyes snapped over to me. Megan and her crew where the first to make it over to me.
“What were you doing in the car with him, did he feel bad the poor girl was walking,” she sneered her wanna-bees next to her snickering. Yawning I looked down at my wrist.

“I’m sorry but, I’m a bitch hour is over, why are you still here,” I questioned tapping my wrist where a watch is suppose to be. The football team players came over and ooohed. Huffing I rolled my eyes and started to walk towards the school. Making it half way across the parking lot, I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I took the arm and twisted it painfully as I turned around to face whoever it was. To my surprise (sarcasm) it was Josh, the number 2 player. Sadly enough Aero was number 1. Pushing his arm away he looked at me painfully but that didn’t stop him from pulling me to him with both arms this time.

“Josh, let go,” I hissed and pushed on his muscular chest. When he didn’t budge I tried again with more force but it only caused him to pull me even closer to him. Groaning I was getting tired of these type of people. I tried pulling his arm away from my waist but he only tightened his grip.

“Josh,” I growled my voice low and deathly, he didn’t see it that way and smirked.

“Rosalie, you know you want me,” he answered leaning down slightly to kiss me. Of course I leaned back but his arms were still held around my waist. When I leaned back he leaned followed, and so on.

“Josh, let go,” I growled again getting scared because he was actually stronger than me. He leaned in again as I leaned back but this time I heard a crack and his arms flew off of me. Sighing in relief I looked around to see who helped me, when I saw Aero and smile creped onto my face. I hugged him tightly and thanked him a hundred times. When I pulled back I got deathly glares from his fan club, I rolled my eyes and said thank you to Aero again.

“You think I would just let him kiss you like that, I would’ve ‘saved’ you sooner if Megan wasn’t in the way,” he explained in a low voice it was very protective, and I loved it because he was my best friend. The first bell sounded and I tilted my head, wondering if I could skip first period. Father wouldn’t mind too much. Going on my tip toes I raised my mouth to Aero’s ear.

“Do you wanna skip first period with me, and maybe the pack members,” I whispered into it, I laughed softly and went back to my flat feet, well I’m wearing heels but whatever. He nodded and I smiled brightly, it was probably reaching my sapphire blue eyes. I saw Natalie rushing out of her car towards the front building she was about to make it pass me when I stepped in front of her wiggling my left eyebrow. She laughed and nodded knowing I was skipping first period, Kayla came next and noticed us to just standing there and gladly joined us.

“Henry, come,” I yelled from across the parking lot, he looked over at us and rolled his eyes skate boarding his way towards us. Dominic and Dominique ran out of the school building towards us, I have first period with them so they knew I’m skipping. Putting on my thinking face I rubbed my fake beard.

“Where should we go,” I questioned rubbing it once more. They laughed and then stopped thinking of places were we should go. my eyes lit up and I thought of the best place.

“The amusement park, their opened and we could say we had today off or that we graduated already,” I offered, everyone nodded excitedly and Kayla exclaimed,
"Yes."

chapter two

We all went to our teleportation and drove to the amusement park 20 minutes away. So maybe we’ll come back after lunch. Sitting in the passenger’s side of Aero’s car I was basically jumping up and down. He’s melodious laughed filled the car only making me happier. When we finally made it to Loosiey Lippi’s amusement park, weird name huh, it takes after the owner. Pulling into the parking lot he parked next to Nat, and Kayla. Practically jumping out of the car I couldn’t wait. Running over to Nat I took her backpack and searched through it finding her iPod. Taking it out I threw her backpack into her car and smiled up at her.

“Thanks,” I told her and put the earphones in my ears and played a Paramore song. Natalie took one of the earphones and placed in her ear and sang along to the song. I laughed and bit my lip.

“Let Hayley Williams sing Nat,” I told her patting her back reassuringly. She shook her head and stopped singing just humming along to it with me. We walked up to the admission stands and made Henry pay. Playing with the wrist band they gave me I sang along to the song and looked up to see Natalie arching her eyebrow.

“I’m Hayley Williams,” I offered then continued to sing, “If you wanna play it like a game, then come on come on let’s play.” Bobbing my head back and forth I hummed along to her song ‘crushcrushcrush’ just as Natalie did. We laughed at the weird faces people gave us while Aero and Kayla ran off to the cotton candy stand. Dominic and Dominique looked awkwardly around at the amusement park. I shrugged and sang some more. Natalie ripped the earphone from my ear and I screeched.

“NATALIE, THAT HURT,” I exclaimed rubbing my ear. She didn’t reply so I looked over at her and saw she had an dumbfounded face starring at something. Looking towards her glaze I saw a guy and girl making-out. Okay, I asked my myself then gave Natalie the same weird look we’ve been getting.

“You nearly killed my ear to show me a couple kissing,” I asked her nudging her side. Completely oblivious to whatever is happened I looked back to see my vision was being blocked and everyone was in defense mood. Standing on my tiptoes I looked over Aero shoulder to see them still making-out.

“You guys, I am confused. You guys are all worked up about a couple kissing? What am I missing,” I exclaimed leaning my chin on Aero’s shouldering still on my tippy toes. Henry glanced over to me still in defense mode.

“You don’t get that bad threat feeling from him,” Henry asked and I arched an eyebrow shaking my head confused.

“It’s a half-breed, half vampire half werewolf, their rare, but he is even rarer. He is the alpha,” Dominique explained and I nodded looking back over to the couple, but for once they weren’t kissing just looking at us. I shrugged and plopped down from my tippy toes and stole Nat’s iPod and ran over to the nearest bench. Plugging the earphones in I listened to Monster by Paramore. Looking at my pack I wondered if they noticed I moved. Just as I thought that Aero looked over his shoulder and saw I wasn't attached to his back, he became frantic and searched everywhere but the bench. Whistling everyone’s eyes were on me even the odd half-breed. Aero saw me and gave me a ‘I’m going to get you’ look. I huffed and went back to playing with the iPod.

“My iPod,” Natalie squealed breaking everyone from their trance. My sapphire blue eyes widen and I held it close to me protectively while she came running towards me. I shot up from the bench and ran over to Aero hiding behind him. I hugged him using my best friend as a guard, while I was hugging him I heard a growl but it wasn’t familiar. Everyone’s eyes shot over to the half-breed, even mine. I pushed Aero towards him and hid behind Kayla.

“TAKE THEM NOT ME, THEM,” I exclaimed as if he was an alien ready for abduction. Everyone starred at me disbelieving. I rolled my eyes and hummed to the song.

“I was kidding don’t give me that look,” I commanded and they all looked away some looking at the floor some at the sky and Kayla at her hands, what an odd bunch. Looking away from all of them I looked back to come face-to-face to the half-breed. My eyebrow arched and I took a step back.

“How come you’re the only one not ‘afraid’ of me,” he questioned and said afraid sarcastically. My sapphire blue eyes turned slightly purple thinking of why.

“I-I- don’t have an answer for that,” I told him pulling my eyebrows together pausing the iPod. Sliding it into my back pocket I wondered why I don’t get that ‘bad gut feeling’ around him, I usually do being the female alpha and all. He looked at my eyes in awe, I forgot that it’s not normal to have sapphire purple eyes. Closing my eyes I regained composure and opened them hoping that they are back to their regular deep blue.
