The Alpha's Rejected Mate

Chapter 1

(A/N: NOT EDITED)

I continued to run until I realised, too late, that I was no longer in my territory. Viscious howls echoed through the air and I darted into the trees again. However, I knew I was way too tired to avoid their chase for too long. 

With each step I took, I could hear the howls grow louder and I whimpered in despair. Before I could even ackowledge what had happened, a large amber wolf appeared in front of me and I quickly slide to a halt. When I turn around I note that I'm surrounding and proceed to back away, tale between my legs, whimpering.

I watch, with misted eyes, the brown wolf shift into a devilishly handsome young man before I quickly look away. Shifting back to human form always results in nudity. I return my gaze to his after he throws on some jeans that sit dangerously low on his hips. 

"Shift." He commands. 

I look nervously at the surrounding wolves. Though I wanted to shift, I did want to maintain my dignity and would not achieve this my shifting with all these wolves watching my every move. 

The guy must have sensed my uneasiness and makes a comment. "You are allowed to shift behind a tree but know that, if you dare to run away, you will die."

I nodded my big head and did as he asked, throwing on some baggy sweatpants and an oversized jumper so that it was not as obvious how obese I was. 

Walking out from behind the trees I let my brown hair flow down my back and notice that the other wolves have shifted into their human form and, my God, they were all good-looking. There must have been something in the water where they were from.

"Are you aware that you have trespassed on my brothers land, Rogue." Rogue. The word stung as much as the vile words that I was used to being thrown my way, but I guess this was what I was reduced to. A rogue who had dismissed her pack. 

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I stutter, voice soft. "I ran away from my pack and I didn't realise I had trespassed until you guys started chasing me." Nervously, I looked at all the guys as they stared back at me, not saying anything. 

Finally, on one of the guys spoke up. "What were you doing running away from your pack?"

I directed my gaze at the brown haired guy who asked me the question. He stood next to a guy who was obviously his twin as they looked exactly the same despite a few minor differences in hair colour and cut. 

"They don't want me. I'm a pathetic excuse for a werewolf because I'm overweight. I was bullied a lot and I wanted to get away from it... So here I am." I shrug, like it's not important.

"What kind of pack calls one of their own fat?" The other twin exclaimed.  

"I agree, but you're leaving something out." The black haired guy says. The one who had the amber wolf.

"Umm, do you mind if we discuss this somewhere else. I don't have a problem with telling you the rest, but I don't exactly like being out in the open." I ask.

"Sure, we can go the pack house. I think our Alpha would be very interested in your story, anyway." He replies.

"Hey! Maybe you could join our pack!" A guy with blonde hair says excitedly.  Shouts of agreement ring out and I almost cry at how kind they were being. They barely knew me and they were already offering me to join their pack. 

"Come on. Let's go." The twins walk over to me and put their arms around my shoulders and lead me to the pack house.
