It was just a normal boring day for me. Especially after my 20th birthday when everyone started to ignore me again. No one really liked me in this pack, since I'm a Neko and only have one arm. see when I was a baby something happened to my harm.

So after I was born over time my parents noticed that my right arm was gradually turning purple as the time passed so they rushed to the doctors and they said that I had some kind of defect that caused my arm to slowly die. They had to choose to either keep the arm which would probably kill me or amputate it.

Well we obviously know which one they chose otherwise I would be dead already. My great-grandma on my mom's side was a Neko and so far the neki trait has skipped generations after going extinct during the time my grandma was a little girl. So now I'm the last of my kind sadly.

I also have epilepsy as a permanent side effect after what happened when I was 8 years old.

13 years ago

At 7 years old my parents got into a car accident on the way home and died on impact and I didn't have any other family so I had to pack all my things and was put into the system while my 8th birthday was a month away.

Luckily my mom had already taught me how to control my powers and helped me master a lot of spells, that way I was able to put a spell on my favorite over-the-shoulder kitty print bag that my parents have got me for my birthday to have infinity room.

Same with my dad's favorite briefcase where I put all of our family pictures and photo albums. Once all of that was in there I altered the spell so I can say a keyword to use the infinity storage and to not use it. Then I folded my dad's favorite shirt and my mom's favorite dress and sat it in the briefcase before closing and locking it.

Then I packed all their stuff into their separate suitcases with my new spell the closed them and put them next to the briefcase before going into my room and doing the same to all my things. After everything was packed I grabbed my bag and used another spell to put all of it inside that way I would only have one bag and I could never lose anything.

Once that was done I slowly walked out of the house as I looked around at how empty and lonely it looked without any of our pictures on the walls of my parents running around being goofy, when I was about to walk out the door I remembered something and ran back to their office and said a spell to put their small safe inside of my bag along with their computer bags that I also almost forgot.

Then I grabbed the camera and set it in my bag after saying the keyword so it's just sitting there, double-checking I got everything that belonged to us inside the house I had this feeling to go into their closet and when I did the pendant my mom gave me before they left started to glow as this small portal slowly formed before a small wooden box with an envelope taped on the top floated to me.

As I heard faint screaming and footsteps so I hurriedly grabbed the box and put it next to the camera before walking out towards my caseworker who took me to an orphanage and left me there so I quietly put a protection spell onto my bag just in case.

None of the kids liked me because I only had one arm and always carried my bag with me everywhere especially after another kid tried to still my bag by taking it when I wasn't looking then lied to the head of the orphanage saying I stole their bag till I open and shoulder then the inside If the flap where my name was engraved in it.

Needless to say, they got in trouble and were punished while I just sat in the corner of the room writing to my parents as I periodically looked at one of the pictures of them I kept in my book. Then suddenly someone came and snatched the photo off my lap and said

"Ooo what is this?"
As I tried to take it back but they just kept moving it outta reach till I finally said

"Give it back, that's mine"

"So, why should I? who are they anyway?"

"They're my parents now give it back"

I said again even though I could have used my powers my mother always told me to never show people I'm a Neko hybrid, so I couldn't use my powers or show my ears and tail or ill be in danger

"Whatcha gonna do if I don't?"

"Just give it back ok"

"You look like a perfect mixture of them"

"Thanks now five it back"

"Why, why are you here?"

"Look that's the last picture we took together before they died ok"

"Mmm, yea my dad died the same way because he was drunk"

"Really?" I asked as he gave me my picture back and I put it into my book before putting it into my bag as I stared at him.

"I even heard them say that he killed a couple, I believe the name they said was dark... Um..."

"Darkmore?"

"yes, that's it why?"

"My last name is Darkmore, your dad killed my parents"

"I'm sorry, he was a really bad dad, always drunk and hitting me... Especially after mom died"

As I was talking to him I and this urge that I could trust him so I asked

"What is your name, mine is Azami Le Darkmore"

"My name is Zoltan Jones and I'm a dragon shifter, what about you?"

"I'm a Neko hybrid, but no one can know ok?" I whispered in his ear

"Ok"

Then I said a spell to create a special friendship ring so no matter what we can always know where and what is happening to the other like a mate bond but without the attraction and gave it to him

"Here take this ring"

"Ooo cool, what is this for?"

"It's a friendship ring but it's more special, if either one of us is in danger or hurt it will start to glow a certain color and we will be able to feel where the other is to be able to help"

"It's cool"

After that, we always hung out. We became best friends and we're inseparable. Sadly he got adopted before me and had to go, a little bit after him I was also adopted and I was excited since my birthday was in two weeks. My new parents were awesome and I was starting to love them and break from my shell till my 8th birthday.

They changed and they started to abuse me but no one believed me, they even made me sleep in the basement with no blankets or pillows so I started to do video diaries secretly so I can catch them in the act and have proof. I even took pictures of all the bruises I had, this went on till I was 9 when the police showed up with my old caseworker while I was in the middle of getting beat in the head as I tried to protect it.

Then suddenly I started shaking and had no control of my body as I slowly blacked out to the sound of police officers arresting my parents and trying to help me. When I woke up I was in the hospital and Zo was laying next to me while to other people were asleep on the chairs by the window.

While playing there I tried to move my fingers to wake Zo up since my throat was dry. After a lot of failed attempts, I finally was able to move my fingers and which made Zo's head pop straight up really fast.

After finally getting him to calm down and stop sobbing which woke up the couple by the window he gave me some water for my throat before saying

"I'm so glad you're okay Le"

"What happened to my... To the people?"

"They were arrested and put in jail, oh let me go get the doctor"

Then he ran out of the room most likely to tell the doctor that I'm awake now, when he walked back in a talk man was behind him with a clipboard before looking up at me and asking

"Hello, my name is Dr. Ozlow, how are you feeling today?"

"In a little sore and my head feels weird"

"After what happened to you that's normal, I will prescribe you some pain meds for the soreness and your head feels weird because you had a seizure after taking some damage to the head... Because of the trauma to the head, we did some tests and scans to see what other damage there was and you have epilepsy"

"What is that? What does that mean? What should I do?"

"Epilepsy is a mental illness that affects part of the brain, high stress, and flashing lights can trigger you to have a seizure, that means that you should be careful to avoid stressful situations and be careful of flashing, I can prescribe you some meds to help with the seizures, it won't cure them but it'll be more manageable, I also recommend a service dog to help warn you before you have a seizure so you can avoid unintentional harm to yourself"

"How do I get a service dog?"

"I make some phone calls to get you a meeting, oh and you also have PTSD, do you remember what happened at all"

"Not really, no"

"Ok, I let you get some rest"

Then he left the room and it was just me Zo and the two people who were just starting at me till one of them got up and said

"Hello my name is Nero Barlow and this is my mate Astral Barlow, we are the adoptive parents of Zoltan"

"Hi, nice to meet you guys"

"And don't worry about a thing ok we are going to take care of everything ok"

Present

Anyway since I'm now 20 years old I get to find my mate and leave this God-forsaken pack. As I was walking through the park to get some fresh air I felt a pull that got stronger and stronger as I walked towards it till I came across this really handsome man.

When our eyes made contact I immediately looked down blushing as my shift purred out mate. Luckily I wore my prosthetic arm and long sleeves today otherwise he probably would have walked away from me at first glance.

"Hi, my name is Azami Le Darkmore but you can call me Le"

"Hi, my name is Bruno Shackleton but you can call me B"

"You have a nice bane, I like it"

"Thanks and same to you"

"So how old are you B?"

"23 and you?"

"Just turned 20 recently"

"Oh, Happy late birthday"

"Thank you"

"No problem"

After talking with him for a while we decided to go out on a date where we n learn even more about each other. I'm so glad he didn't reject me when I told him about my arm since he seemed like the type to do that. Especially when I see him around his friends he seems to act as a whole different person

Now the problem is I don't know if that's the real him or not. Anywho the date went well with Bruno and we made plans to see each other more often even though I was still a little wary of him.

It's been four months now since I and Bruno started going out and I am ready to give all of myself to him, to finally be completely his and bear his mark and start a family with him. I can't wait to see him later today and tell him.

After a couple of hours, it was finally time for our date and me to surprise my mate with what I had thought about earlier in the day. Once the date was over and we were on our way to my house I finally built up the courage to tell him that I'm ready.

"B I have something that I want to tell you ok?"

"Sure what is it, love?"

"I want to be yours completely"

"Really?!"

"Yea, I'm ready to give myself to you and start a family together"

"I'm glad to hear that love"

When we got to my house it was a pleasantly exhausting night.

The next day

Waking up was so blissful after thinking about the night before, I felt so happy as I searched for my mate on the other side of the bed. After not feeling him laying next to me I opened my eyes and looked around the room seeing that I was the only one there.

Before getting up and searching the house thinking maybe he was making breakfast or cleaning something, but nope I was the only one In the house. I felt hurt wondering why he left before I woke up and decided to just ask him when I meet with him for lunch later.

At around noon when lunch usually commence I walked into the little bakery that was close to his job and seen him sitting with his group of friends just talking and laughing as I walked towards him and said

"Hey babe, why'd you leave so early this morning?"

"Why would I not?"

"Um... Because I would worry or feel hurt"

"Like I care"

"Why are you acting like this all of a sudden, is it because you're with them?"

"You really wanna know?"

"Yes, I'm confused"

"It was all a bet, you see I've seen you around and I knew you were my mate, the one-arm retard... I never meant any word I said to you, I just wanted one thing

If it wasn't for the bet I wouldn't have wasted four months on you, let alone a second... Did you think I would want to have kids with the likes of you, I don't want to have kids with some handicap I'll have to take care of for his whole life"

"I can take care of myself, I have been since a young age, I'm not stupid either and you're my mate why are you like this"

I yelled as my hands started to shake a little due to my stress level rising as Saniel kept alerting me of my oncoming seizure as I started to feel slightly dizzy so I walked to the corner and laid down as I blacked out.

When I came to I gave Saniel the signal and she let me get up as Bruno looked down at me with all his friends and said

"I Bruno Shackleton reject you Azami Le Darkmore as my mate"

In front of the whole cafe as I grabbed my chest where my heart is with my left hand as I felt the pain of rejection while gritting out

"I.. Azami Le... Darkmore accept... Your rejection"

As I started to slowly walk out of the cafe receiving sympathetic looks from the other customers inside.

Hi my name is Azami Le Darkmore and welcome to my life.
