Mine - The Alpha's Possession

CHAPTER 1

When my mother told me that I needed to go and stay with my father a year ago, I was less than impressed with it. I knew that our pack was having difficulties as the Alpha had just died and his 19-year-old arrogant prick of a son was our new Alpha but sending me away seemed a little extreme. I didn't want to leave. I was only 16 and all my friends were there and my whole life had been that werewolf pack.

My father had since found a new mate and she is an evil woman who hates kids and especially hated me cramping their style. When I first arrived at their house she acted as though I was a toddler and I was going to completely disrupt their lives. I wasn't a fucking child. I knew how to take care of myself. If they wanted to go out then they didn't need to find me a babysitter. I was old enough to be a babysitter. But she still hated my presence here in the house.

She vowed as soon as I moved into the house that I was going to get a job and take care of myself. They weren't even going to buy food for me. I needed to be completely independent. They weren't going to help me with anything. If I was going to have a phone then I needed to find the money to pay for it. They didn't help me with anything and acted like I wasn't there.

When they did speak to me it was usually because they wanted something. But otherwise, I didn't exist to them. Which I guess I was fine with. I started working at a diner and I was grateful for the job. It meant that I didn't have to be at home and the tips weren't too bad. Everyone in town knew who my stepmother was and I guess they took pity on me. I didn't mind. It meant more money for me.

I tried to live as simply as possible so that I could save up as much money as I could. And once I had enough money saved, I was going to move out of their house. I knew I couldn't stay there for too long. But it was a little hard when I had school as well. And I did every other activity that I could get involved in so that I didn't have to go home.

" Hey Taylor." Someone sang out to me as I was walking out of school one afternoon and I turned around.

" Hey Carter. How's it going?" I asked.

" Pretty good. What are you doing now?" He asked.

" Work." I say.

" Seriously? Can't you play hooky just once? We're all going to the swimming hole." He says. Basically, the swimming hole was just a dingy little creek where kids just hang out and make out with each other. I always knew what Carter was always implying when he invited me there, but I wasn't interested in him like that. Which is why I always declined. Luckily my life was busy enough that I could get away with the excuses because they were true.

" I'd love to. But I can't. I need the money." I say.

" Your stepmother still refusing to pay for anything?" He asked.

" She's never going to change. She's never going to give me anything. Except maybe give me a hand to pack when I want to move out." I say. And he chuckled.

" It would be really awesome to hang out with you outside of school sometime." He says.

" Yeah. It would be. But I have to work the shifts that they give me." I say.

" Alright. Well, I'll see you tomorrow then." He says.

" Yeah. You probably will." I say.

I walked the three blocks to the diner and I got dressed into my uniform in the bathroom out the back and then I headed out to the dining room and I grabbed my notebook and pen and I started waiting the tables that I was in charge of for the night.
