Rejected but Unbroken

"Get your ass up right now or I'm biting it."

I groaned, putting a hand over my head. Not that would actually help. The annoying lecture was coming from inside there. "Shut up, Jade. Let's sleep some more. I was up late training."

"And you think I don't know that? Seriously, Chloe. There's more to life than training. You need to get your ass up now, or I promise, I'm biting it."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. I'm getting a little more rest."

"Okay, Chloe, you asked for this." My vision turned golden and my wolf tore control from me, reaching around in a twist that many warriors would envy and the bitch bit my ass.

The door to my room swung open and my family paraded in, singing happy birthday at the top of their lungs.

While I still had a mouthful of ass in my mouth.

"Chloe Gabriella!" My mother lost track of the words first. "What are you doing?"

The shock threw Jade off, and I used the moment to grab control again. Stupid wolf. "Mom, you guys couldn't wait until I came downstairs?" I snapped. The rest of my family continued to sing as if my wolf hadn't just embarrassed me.

"Chloe, it's your birthday, and it's almost time for school. You can't be late. We wanted to spend some time with you before you ran off." My mother sighed at me before slipping back into the final words of the birthday song.

Just what I wanted for my nineteenth birthday. "Okay, you've sung your song. I'll be down in a minute. Let me get dressed."

"Come on, Princess," scolded my dad. He pulled up a bright pastel pink dress and held it up to himself. "Look what I got you!"

I stared at the outfit that looked like a Barbie doll puked it up. "Nice try, dad. Love you, but I'm not gonna be caught dead wearing something like that. Besides, how would I fight in it?" I rolled my eyes and pointed to the door again. "Out, please."

My family pouted, but they pushed each other through the door and they finally gave me a moment of peace. Though dad had left that hideous thing on a chair.

"Come on, Chloe. They're your family. You should be more appreciative." My wolf chuckled in my head, smirking at me.

"You want me to appreciate that thing? Fine, your furry ass can wear it, Jade. I'm sure we can tailor it for you. I'm sure you'll look good in that pink."

Jade went quiet and huffed at me. It was my turn to smirk.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get dressed." I grabbed a couple of my usual items. A nice big shirt I could move in and a pair of baggy pants that allowed me to have a full range of movement. I wouldn't be winning any modeling competitions, but who cared about that crap? I just wanted to keep my pack
