~Flashback~
Layla’s POV
I was born with a very frail body as a pup. I could hardly walk around for too long on my own. I mostly sat in bed looking out of the hospital window of the Nightmare pack hospital. My long dark brown hair blowing in the wind from the open window. When I turned 13, things only got worse. I was no longer able to even stand on my own. The doctors told me and my parents that my bones were too weak to withstand my body, and that if something was not done before I turned 18, my first shift would kill me.
No one in the hospital could find any reason why my bones were so weak. Both my mother and father were strong warriors. Then one day I caught a lemon scent in the hospital and a light knock on my door.
“Come in.”
I said still looking out the window. I heard the door open and close but didn’t turn to see who it was.
“Hello Layla. My name is Sabrina. Your parents asked me to take a look at you to see if I can help.”
I heard a soft gentle voice say. I turned my head and was met with a woman with bright yellow eyes and sea blue hair. I sniffed the air again.
“You’re not a wolf, you’re a witch.”
I stated. She nodded and smiled.
“What the hell is a witch doing here. There is no way my parents would trust your kind. Your kind are filthy, only doing magic for those who pay you the most no matter the outcome.”
I growled. My grandparents on my father’s side were killed by a witch that was paid to clear a patch of forest. She did nothing but smile at me. I growled again
“Get the hell out of here and stay away from me.”
She still said nothing, just smiled. Then she walked over to me slowly and her hand reached for my face. Witches were no good, I didn’t want her touching me. I thought to myself and then as soon as her hand reached my cheek. I bit her hard and drew blood.
I heard the door open and my parents gasped.
“Layla what on earth are you doing?! She is here to help you.”
My mother cried out. My father growled at me.
“Layla Hawkins you release her right this minute!!”
Normally I did what my parents say, but they were defending a witch! My fangs still latched into her hand. I looked up at her face with my eyes. I was shocked as all hell. She was looking back at me. Her eyes remained gentle, no anger in them, and she still had a smile on her face.
“There, there little one. I’m not going to harm you or anyone in this pack.”
I saw her eyes glaze over. Was she mind linking someone? Did she have a mate in the pack? Then the door opened again and it was one of my father’s best friends, William Darkwood.
I was so shocked that I released her hand. She slowly took it away. Still bleeding badly, she turned and said
“This is William. He is my little sister’s mate. He brought my sister and I here from the mountains. The alpha has accepted us into the pack.”
she was calm and her heart rate stayed the same. I could feel she wasn’t lying, but how could she be trusted. She was a witch. I looked at William and he smiled at me and said
“I know a lot of pack members are going to take time to adjust to there being two witches in the pack, but they mean you know harm. They are good people. Sabrina here is good with medical herbs and remedies.”
he said patting her on the head like she was a small child.
She glared at him and gently swatted his hand away from her head.
“I am older than you mister, not a child.”
she said. William chuckled and started patting her head again,
“Oh yea? Then why are you so short there grandma?”
His laughter boomed throughout the room with his joke, next thing I know she snapped her fingers and a small wash bin landed right on William’s head.
“Son of a bitch!! Sabrina!?”
he roared.
Father and mother started laughing after he got hit, even I giggled at it.
“That should teach you some respect.”
she snapped at William. Then it hit me. Why didn’t she do that to me? I bit her and was rude to her, yet she only smiled at me. William teased her and she used her magic to hit him. She turned back to me and she still had that same gentle smile as before.
“Why?”
I whispered. She tilted her head in confusion.
“Why what dear?”
she asked me. I looked at her and asked her
“Why didn’t you hit me like you did him? I bit you. I was rude to you.”
I could feel the tears forming in my eyes.
She came to me again and with her non-bloody hand she stroked my hair.
“One: you are only a child, compared to that doofus of a man. Two: you were also told that if something isn’t done by your 18th birthday, your first shift would kill you. It is normal to be mad at not only the world, but creatures or people that you don’t trust.”
I felt ashamed of how I treated her.
“I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry.”
I whimpered
From then on Sabrina would visit me everyday. She would take blood samples to test with different treatments that she was working on. After a month she introduced me to her younger sister, Tasha. They almost looked alike except Tasha had red hair and Sabrina had blue. After a year of Sabrina trying different herbal treatments to heal my bones I was starting to lose hope. One day while my mom and dad were visiting me in my hospital room, Sabrina burst through the door.
“Sabrina?! What’s wrong?”
my mom asked as Sabrina was trying to catch her breath.
After a minute to catch her breath, she turned to us and smiled wide.
“I found a way!!”
She said excitedly. My parents rose to their feet.
“Did my research and based on the family tree info you gave me, Layla’s bones are only weak because she was born with human bones. Her wolf blood and body is too much for the human bones to support.”
Sabrina said. How could I have been born with human bones? My parents were both wolves.
“How can that be true? Both of my parents are wolves.”
I said out loud.
Mom shook her head.
“No sweetie I was human. Your father changed me after we got married.”
