Wrenched

NOTICE: To all the people from moboreader, first this book was not initially written on moboreader meaning there are messed up chapters and characters through out it, I don't know why that is because when I look at it, it is fine but you guys see something different. Second, I know the storyline may be messy, but I was 13 when I started the book, and 15 when I finished it, so please understand I was not nor am I currently a professional writer.

And lastly, due to this book being wrote on a completely different platform there is a author's note (A/N) at the end of almost every chapter because it is traditional to have it there, at least for the platform I came from. I hope you all enjoy!

Alyaez POV-

Sitting in my room, I groan as my mom continues to talk about the mating ball. She has been in my room for the last hour, lecturing me about how I can and cannot act and when I can and cannot speak, all that good stuff, "I cant believe it! My baby... going to find her mate, tonight!" mother squeals. I face palmed myself, I dont understand why I have to go. I have lunasegnimarkings.

"Why do I have to go when ourmoon goddess Devanearhas blessed me?" I ask mom as she starts to do my hair.

She sighs, "you mustnt let any of the males see your luna segni. They will not want you as a mate, but as a weapon."

"Mom, you didnt answer my question... why do I have to go when I am one of the most powerful wolves in the world? I dont need a man to take care of me." I spoke harshly.

My mother stops doing my hair to turn me around to slap me across my face. "Neverspeak that way of your future mate again! Youll be lucky if Devaneargives you someone who can get rid of you, finally, " she says in a deadly tone, glaring at me before continuing to do my hair. I become quietand touch my cheek. I knew my mother never really loved me but never once did I think she would strike me. I shouldve expected it since I was her mistake child. She got pregnant with me before she met her mate, therefore, I became the mistaken child. I sit silently the rest of the time until she completely finished changing me.

"Alright, done, " she slightly pushes me up towards the mirror. In the mirror, amazed at my beauty, I become sad knowing this was not done because she loved me, but because all her children needed to be seen by their mate at their first ball so she could brag about how lucky, beautiful, or handsome her kids are. "Yourlimo is here, " she begins to push me out the door, "Richard will escort you inside and than immediately leave. Do not disappoint me Alyaez!" she yells as I climb into the limo.

I sit in the back and looked to my left seeing the man I called father. Looked at me sadly, he says, "youve grown to be such a beautiful woman, Orchid."

"Thank you but, I dont want to go dad, " I whisper. He sighed and pulled me in a tight hug.

"I know but you must. Your mother and I will miss you very much when you do find your mate, " he spoke kissing my forehead. "You know shes never loved me, so why would she miss me? I was the mistakechild, " I say, pulling out of his embrace.

"She loves you very much, " he argues.

"Sure has a hell of a way of showing it, by yelling at me all my life, then striking me today when I spoke my opinion..." I mumble, momentarily forgetting he has supernatural hearing.

"Youre right but, just think, if you find your mate tonight, youll escape your mother." I almost forgot in that moment that Richard was my mothers mate. I mean how can such a kind man be the mate of an horrible woman?

"Thank you, for being my actual parent." I say to him truthfully.

"Anytime, but were here now, " he gets out of the limo before walking around to open my door. We walk up to the mansion doors and stop. He smiles softly and kisses my forehead, "I love you, Orchid." Richard walks away and I sigh, walking in to line up with the other girls for my grading on strength, beauty, and intelligence. The women called a few names before they call mine, "Alyaez Dalaje Turner of the Shadow Mountain pack, strength is eight out of ten, beauty, ten out of ten, and intelligence... ten out of ten, " she says, making me step up. Two women came to my side and escort me to the room where the other women who have already been graded were. I walk in to see many women socializing.

"Hi!" I hear a chipper voice from the side and turn to see agirl.

"Hello, " I replied boringly and turn away yet she pops in the front of my face.

"My name is Robin Vazquez of the Dark Moon pack. Whats your name?"she asks.
