I sank to the floor, watching as the crowd formed around me, following the scream they just heard. There was laughing from the pack and mumbling from the outsiders. The tears that rimed my eyes were now falling freely down my pale chubby cheeks. The hallways was now totally empty, and I was left alone. I was hyperventilating. I was just rejected by my mate. My brother hates me, he practically blames me for our parent's death.
Everyone in this stupid school is set out to make me regret living. And the funny thing is... almost everything they say about me is true I am fat, or at least overweight. I'm not at all skinny, and I'm not even saying that because they've convinced me of it. Even before my parents died, before my brother started hating me, I knew I was a little too big for anyone's liking. I wasn't attractive either. My hair was a dull, dead, burgundy red. My eye's were such an odd color. An also very dull, unflattering green with grey specks. My own reflection made me angry and sad. I didn't use to believe then when they said I should have died with my parents. But now,
I was starting to believe that too. Or worse, that I should have died instead of my parents. I slapped away the tears from my face and scrambled up to a stand. Ignoring my backpack that lay on the ground, I sprinted out of the school doors, pushing past the assholes in the hall and back down the street until I felt the gravel rocks beneath my thin, worn out shoes. I slowed my walking into a fast speed walk as I past the familiar driveway. I stepped into the empty pack house, and holding onto the railing, stormed up the stairs skipping two steps each until I reached my door right above them. I burst through it, rummaging through the broken drawers of my broken dresser to take out the few clothes I did have and shove them into a duffel bag. I grabbed my mom and dad's picture from under the mattress that lay directly on the dirty floor, dusted it off, and placed in the duffel bag as well. I zipped it up, slummed it over my shoulder and sighed. One thing I had to do before I left was visit Renee's room. When I reached her white, flowery door, I stopped. New tears flooding my eyes. I had left a very brief explanation as to why I'm leaving for her on her bed. I wrote the note out myself, and told her how she would never see me again, how I was sorry, and then left the room with new tears. When I closed the pack house front doors behind me for the last time, thinking in my head "I, Katerina Bathas, officially withdraw my place in the Fallen Moon pack." I felt a painful pull and I held in a whimper. I was now officially a rogue wolf. And I knew the Alpha, along with the whole pack would feel I was leaving. Not that they would care, I thought to myself as I approached the woods, desperate to get the hell away from here. I knew the instant I crossed from my our territory, to an unknown one, I would feel another pang of pain, and so would the pack. Then would they know I was truly gone, not just from their pack but from this shitty ass town I can no longer call
home. Placing the duffel bag near a tree, I shifted, feeling my human clothes rip and tear to shrivels of cloth as a brown/beige furred wolf took place. My bone's felt free. The kind of release you feel only when you shift after 5 years of being trapped inside a human form. It was nice to be in contact with my wolf again. Her voice rang in my ears as I picked up the bag with my teeth, and ran through the tree's and off the territory, away from Ever Falls.

When we burst through the pack house doors, every pack member rushed around looking for anything they could find that Katerina might have left, by my order. Her name was being shouted, pack members shifted, running through the woods in an attempt to find her. Anything to see where she was going.
