The Rejected Goddess / Chapter 1- Hello

Chapter 1- Hello

Emma POV

Hello, my name is Emma Belle. I am currently a member of the Solar Eclipse Pack, we are
a big pack with numbers into the hundreds. I am merely a warrior’s daughter. There is
nothing special about me at all. I live with my parents and elder sister Melanie. I have an
older brother who lives in the pack but in his own house, as he is with his mate, Shelley.
They are expecting their rst pup soon and could not be anymore excited if they tried. I am
looking forward to being an auntie, knowing full well that I will be spoiling my little niece or
nephew.

My father could have been head warrior in the pack but he decided to let his younger
brother have that job and instead took up a post training the warriors. He decided that he
would rather help defend the pack than take on the responsibility of having to train
everyone. My uncle was glad because it had been his dream jobs since he was a child, but
my mother was not too pleased. In fact, she turned even colder from what I understand.

My brother, father and I are close. My brother and I have been close growing up, he is the
eldest out of the three of us but we are the closest. He has been there for most of my
rsts, my rst word, my rst step and all of my class celebrations. I see my brother Matt as
like a second father rather than a brother, and I know he sees me more as a pup than a
sister. This is mainly because of my sister Melanie.

Melanie is my elder sister, she hates me. I have no idea why, one day she just turned to me
and said “I hate you so much, one day you will nd out how much.” I was ve years old
when she said that, and it has always stuck with me. The glee on her face when I cried and
she knew she had caused that reaction in me told me she knew exactly what she was
doing. Up until I was ten she would just use words to hurt me, but when she saw that her
words were no longer having the effect she wanted she resorted to violence. It almost
became a daily occurrence until one day when she was in my room beating me that Matt
happened to come and see. I was sixteen at the time, since then Matt has kept a closer
eye on me, which has only resulted in Melanie’s anger and hatred towards me to increase.

My mother is a cold person who hardly ever shows any emotion, her hatred for me being
the main thing that she does show. On the outside she pretends to love me and be happy,
but behind closed doors she is the devil incarnate. She has thrown stuff at me, hit me and
abused me verbally and mentally to try to break me, but no matter what she does I will not
let her win. When I was younger I spoke up about her and my sister, but their acting was so
good that the former alpha and Luna were fooled. Not even with my father and brother
backing me up did they believe me. That was until they saw it themselves last year at a
pack party.

I had been thrown into the kitchen when my mother picked up and ceramic plate and
smashed it over my head, causing blood to cover my face. Just as my mother was about
to his me again with a glass bottle this time, the door opened and the alpha and Luna
appeared, horried by what they saw. Afterall, there I was on the oor covered in blood and
ceramic pieces surrounding me.

I honestly thought I would be saved, but instead my mother was able to fob it all off while I
was in the hospital, saying that she found me that way and suspected I had done it to
myself. Like who the hell would believe that? After that I made sure to keep my distance
from my mother, practically removing all ties to her. I even did the family rejection, which is
unheard of. But her wolf would not allow the rejection her side, so she still feels the
paternal bond but I feel nothing.

My mothers favourite child is Melanie, she is the princess of the family. Everyone’s apple in
their eyes, and all of that. My mother pushes Melanie forward for everything in the pack,
sure that she is the next Luna and going to be mated to Alpha Eric. That is most likely why
Melanie is my mother’s favourite child, she can see her going places as she keeps telling
me. At rst the distinction between us hurt, and the fact that my mother kept putting me
down just hurt all of the more. But as the years went by I got used to it, and even stopped
thinking that the problem was me and realized that it was my mother who was the issue.

Alpha Eric because Alpha a year ago after succeeding his father when he turned eighteen.
The old alpha and Luna were kind people who worked hard to protect the pack and make it
ourish, whereas alpha Eric is only interested in one thing- women.

He is currently dating Melanie, and she likes to keep reminding me of that fact. I know that
if they really are mates like she claims then I am in serious trouble when she is ocially
made the packs Luna. She has already told me how I will be made to become her slave
and serve her all of the time. But I already have a plan in mind, the moment the news is
announced then I will be leaving the pack and going to my grandmothers’ pack, the Silver
Moon Pack under the rule of Alpha Inga.

Alpha Inga has already given me permission to become a member of the pack, and my
grandmother already has a room ready. Honestly? I am expecting it any day now,
especially with how Melanie is lording it over the whole pack. From what I have heard, no
one is happy about Alpha Erics decision, not even the former alpha but there is nothing
anyone can do. Not that I would if I could, I am quite happy to help train the warriors in
Alpha Ingas’ pack. The times I have visited, their pack is very welcoming, and I never want
to go home. For some reason I feel like I am home when I am there, and its not just
because I don’t have to deal with my mother and sister.

I have an active role within the pack, I often train alongside the warriors as I train under my
father and under my uncle. I train under my father as he is hoping that I take over when he
retires in a few years. I am looking forward to taking over training the warriors, I already
have their respect as I train alongside them. My mother does not agree with this, she
wants me to be a girlie girl like Melanie, but I know I never will be. I am a warrior; it is in my
blood and my heart.

The warriors often include me in their events and I sometimes do patrol when they are
short or I just want to hang out there, often I am placed with someone as I cannot ocially
do patrol on my own. Which I don’t mind, I do not feel condent enough to patrol a part of
the pack on my own.

I have a few good friends who I grew up with, mainly Kyo and Jerry who are training to be
guards, Jacki who is wanting to be a teacher and Luke who want to be a pack doctor. I
have other friends, but they are the main ones I am grouped with and I hang out with.
Often our names are put forward for things, even without us realising, which we do not
mind as it keeps us busy and out of trouble.

We are known to hide out in the library or at school when we can as well like to learn, and
all of us want to go to university and get away from the pack for a few years to decide
whether or not we want to come back. Jerry and Kyo have already started their training to
become guards so they will be staying but Jacki, Luke and I are not sure we want to stay.

Under the rule of Alpha Alex and Luna Annabelle the pack ourished, and we had many
allies, but within a year Alpha Eric has managed to annoy many of our allied alphas and
packs so much so that they have rescinded their alliance with us. Many have alliances
with members of the pack, like me and my grandmothers pack, but not with the pack as a
whole.

Since Alpha Eric started to rule the pack has become a sombre place to be, often
happiness cannot be found anywhere which is really sad. Laughter used to run through
this pack all of the time, but now there is only sadness and glimpses of a time gone by.

At the moment the pack is preparing for a party as Alpha Eric has invited the neighbouring
pack The Great Eclipse Pack to visit in an attempt to gain a new alliance. The old alpha
was killed last month so the new alpha, Alpha Inga, has taken over and Alpha Eric thinks
he can get him on his side. However, if what I have heard from the warriors is true, then
Alpha Inga is a force to be reckoned with and he will see right away that Alpha Eric is up to
something.

Me and my friends are decorating the great hall, after we did the decorations for the
Christmas party last year, we got so many compliments that Melanie begrudgingly hired
us again. However, we put our prices up which caused Melanie to go mental, but we
refused to budge. Okay, okay, I know that we were being petty, but it was so satisfying to
nally get one over on her that I cannot bring myself to regret it.

“Hey Emma, can you come help me with these lights? They are so tangled.” Jacki calls
over to me. I quickly get up from the oor where I was making paper chains, and run over
to help Jacki, who has somehow managed to get herself entangled with the lights.

“How did you manage to get entangled with them so well?” I ask laughing.

“I don’t know.” Jacki cries, laughing so hard that she doubles over and makes it harder for
me to untangle her.

“Please stand still, it’ll take a few minutes to get you out of it.” I say, focusing in on where
the lights end and Jacki starts.

After ten minutes Jacki is nally free of the lights, both of us smiling triumphantly.

“Right, now to get them up.” Jacki says, giving me a cheesy smile.

“Only if you help me afterwards with the paper chains and the food preparations.”

“Okay, that’s a fair deal.” Jacki replies, smiling.

Jacki and I spend the next four hours putting up all of the lights and light coverings before
we nish the paper chains and hang them up before heading into the kitchen to do the
food preparations.
