One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf novel Chapter 29

Hailey's POV

I couldn't sleep.

I keep seeing Stacy's face every time I close my eyes. She wanted me dead, although she had many chances to kill me when my not so real dad was alive, she picks now the perfect time to want to kill me.

It's like torture.

I don't feel safe, with I don't know how many men in this house. I still don't feel safe. Stacy is a cunning woman and if she really wants to end me, she will find a way.

That's the one trait I sometimes wish I had. The ability to just get my way no matter what or even who. The world is such a cruel place with not enough chances for people like me.

My innocence will almost always be taken advantage of and my irrational fear will always prevent me from taking what's mine or what I believe I deserve.

I have long accepted who I am. I can't be humiliated by what I know to be true. People can call me weak or a scaredy cat but if it's true, why fight it?

'You have me now.' My wolf responds to my thoughts.

That's beside the point.

'No. Your father would berate you and diminish your feelings. He did this so many times that the only way to make him stop was to cower away in to a corner and cover yourself until he was satisfied. He fed on your fear of him and as we now know, felt the need to punish you for your parent's actions. So when you say that this scared and innocent little girl is who you are then that's where you are wrong. You have the chance to find out who you really are, healing from your father's treatment of you. You can't be that girl and be given a task so great, being the first werewolf girl to ever have a mate and to in future bring full blooded pups to life. You are royalty Hailey and I'll keep saying it until you believe it." My wolf says to me.

A tear escapes my eye from her words of encouragement before we are rudely Interrupted by my father waking me up to train.

"Yes, I'm already awake." I say.

"Good. It's raining so it is the perfect weather for some hardcore training. Cayden will be joining us today and for all of your future trainings. He will also go wherever you go, being your guard until I'm ready to step down and you can take over." Theo says to me as I get dressed.

"Won't I automatically be the luna of Jaxon's pack?" I ask.

"That's entirely up to you and Jaxon. You can also choose to merge the two packs together, as my pack will only choose to follow you once I step down." He says as we descend down the stairs and out of the house.

"Good morning beta." Theo greets Cayden.

"Good morning alpha. Hailey." Cayden greets back and I nod my head at him.

"Right then, follow me my lead." Theo tells us and he starts by running.

We run for some time, surprisingly my body able to handle it as unfit as I am.

'You're a wolf now. Keep up.' Adira says to me and I chuckle.

Cayden throws me a look and I just point at my head, getting it, he looks back ahead.
