Chapter 1 A Silly Human

• Tatiana
• "She's just a weak human, someone else to worry about and who can't protect herself,"
• "She's just someone else to take care of," I heard them say.
• "Just look at her!"
• And that had been my whole life. I was just a human among werewolves,the one who especially hated by everyone.
• A woman from the Midnight pack, named Lucia, found me in the forest crying. I was just a little girl... and she took pity on me, she didn't want to leave me alone to die. I was too young to remember anything. Only one thing defined me: I wasn't like them.
• "She must behave well and help the pack in any way she can,then she can stay in this pack." said Mauricio, the alpha of the pack.
• After that, Lucia took care of me, she was a strong woman and didn't let anything hurt me.
• Werewolves have a very clear structure in their pack, where at the top was the alpha and his family, and below them, the omegas. And below them... me. I helped the omegas with chores, and I dedicated myself to serving the pack. Lucia did what she could to help me... but the alpha forbidden that.
• After years of peace with Lucia who cared for me, when I was about to enter adolescence, she suddenly died in an attack on our territory. And from then on, everything changed.
• Years of mistreatment and abuse followed. When I passed by, they pushed me and called me names. They took away my things and moved me to a small room far away. I was now a slave.
• I lived in a small room, and over time I began to notice it: the looks, the laughter when I passed by, and the comments.
• "It's easy to see she's a human... I mean, just look at her!" they said out loud and mocked me.
• "She's small and doesn't have a strong muscle!" they said, laughing.
• If something characterized werewolves, it was that they were very active and agile, from a young age they were trained and their bodies were athletic and in shape. In contrast, I... was not precisely.
• I was about to enter adolescence, I saw that my body was starting to change. I was a chubby girl, but as I grew, I began to show curves and rounder shapes.
• The others hid my clothes, stole my things, and I would return to my room to cry in secret. I was at the lowest social scale, and I would never improve. Because... how could I behave being human?
• One day I was cleaning the main house and several boys approached to laugh at me.
• "If enemies attack us someday, she will be the first to fall," some girls at my age said. They were slender, with long legs and toned stomachs. I had no friends, and no one spoke to me.
• "Just imagine the chubby girl running and being caught by the rouges!" another boy said and they laughed. The rouges were wild werewolves, without a pack and very violent.
• "They're going to have a feast when they go to eat her!" others commented and laughed.
• - Tell us... can't you go on a diet? Can't you do something with that very human body you have? - said another, pushing me and making me fall while they laughed. Then they took everything I had cleaned and threw garbage on the floor and furniture.
• - Here... you know... so you can get some exercise... and lose a few pounds - one said, laughing again before leaving.
• - Poor chubby girl... she will never have a mate, who could be unlucky enough to be her partner? -
• - Humans don't have mate... she has to rely on her charm and enchant some poor fool - they said from afar, still laughing at me.
• In this world, strength and having your wolf were important, and I would never have any of that. I also didn't desire to be slim like them. Actually... what I wanted the most... what hurt me the most was that I wouldn't have a mate, a companion destined by the moon goddess. A lifelong partner.
• Relationships between werewolves and humans were very complicated and uncommon, when I heard the stories of werewolves finding their mates... I imagined what it would be like to have a mate, an unconditional companion who loved me as I am.
• That was my life for a while, until, years later, I found a little joy. Some families would leave their children with me, seeing me as a nanny without pay, and when a couple died, they left me in charge of two orphans: Marina and Henry.
• I loved taking care of them and spoiling them, and I felt... like we were some kind of family.
• - I could take care of them... forever, they could live with me - I offered to take care of them full-time.
• - I guess you have to be good for something - that's what the alpha said. And they stayed with me.
• We were given a small house near the forest where the three of us lived. I was sixteen years old.I was happy because they were lively and intelligent children, and I read them stories and took care of them, always attentive as if they were my little siblings.
• - Will you have your wolf too, Tati? - Henry would ask me, and I would smile sadly.
• - No, little one, but you two will surely be very strong wolves -
• - Sebastian told us we were going to be warriors - Marina said happily as I prepared the food.
• - Strong warriors to protect everyone! - Henry said happily, jumping near me.
