The Alpha's Punishment

Elizabeth Summers POV “Oh look, it's the mutt.” Nico Vale, the future Beta of our pack shouted the moment I walked into the parking lot behind school. So much for keeping a low profile today. How was it that they always seemed to know where I was? I thought that by coming into school via the back entrance I would have been able to avoid them. I should have known I wouldn’t be that lucky. It almost felt as though the harder I tried to hide from them the quicker they locked in on my location. Could they smell my fear or had one of them slipped a tracking device into my bag when I wasn’t looking? I put my head down and kept walking towards the school building. Maybe if I could make it to the door before they reached me then they would lose interest and just leave me alone. It was unlikely, but it was still worth a try. I took a deep breath and started to walk faster, I was only a few metres from the door. Just a few more seconds and I would be safe. I was almost at jogging pace when I felt someone's hand grip tightly onto my arm. I was jerked back so roughly that I almost fell over backward. But before my body could decide if it was going to regain its balance or send me crashing to the floor I was in motion again. I was pulled forward and spun around till I found myself face to face with the future Alpha of our pack, Jasper Hartford. Well I say face to face, it would be more accurate to say face to chest. Jasper was easily 6ft5 whereas I was barely 5ft2. A fact that only made him even more intimidating. He was much larger than me, much stronger than me, and he absolutely despised me for no discernible reason. “How dare you walk away when your betters are talking to you?” Jasper shouted, leaning down so that he could get right in front of my face. “Sorry Alpha,” I said, trying my best not to meet his gaze. As the Omega daughter of two Omega parents, it wasn’t in my nature to look an Alpha wolf directly in the eyes. Even if I had been living in the same house as the Alpha family ever since I was about five years old. I don’t remember much about my real parents. I know they were both Omegas and that my mother was pregnant with her third child when she decided to give me up, something that was strictly forbidden for Omegas in our pack. From what I understand, that third child was a boy so they decided to give me up as I was their only female child. The pack’s Alpha and Luna heard about my situation and decided to take me in and raise me so that I didn’t end up being passed around between different members of the pack for my whole childhood. They already had two sons but they wanted another child. They had been trying for the last three years without any success so when they heard about my situation, they decided it was destiny. I wasn’t sure if I believed in such things as destiny and fate, but I was happy to have a room of my own and a safe place to live. Even though living with them wasn’t perfect, things could have ended up a lot worse for a female Omega without a family to care for her. For a long time I was angry and upset at my biological parents for giving me up. Ultimately though, I can understand their position. A male Omega has much better prospects within this pack, some of them can even earn their own money and give their family a better way of life. For females the story was quite different, there are only two roles that an unmated female Omega can have within our pack. The first is being a domestic servant for a ranked family. The second role involves spending most of your time on your back serving the males who have yet to find their mate, if you know what I mean. “Look at me when I talk to you Lizzy,” Jasper said. He grabbed my chin roughly and turned my face so I was looking him directly in the eyes. “Sorry,” I mumbled. I held his gaze even though every instinct I had screamed at me to look away like a good little Omega. This was the first time I had dared to look at Jasper so closely. He was truly breathtaking. Now I could see why all those women fell for his charms, it was just a shame that his beauty was only skin deep. “Good girl. Now tell me why you are dressed like this?” He growled. His face was mere centimetres away from mine and I could feel his hot breath on my face. “This is just my normal school outfit,” I replied, trying my best to remain calm. I didn’t want him to be able to smell my fear. “So you usually come to school dressed as a whore.” He shouted. His words took my breath away. I didn’t believe in shaming a woman for what she was wearing but even if I did my outfit did nothing to warrant that title. I was wearing a pair of dark skinny jeans and a black v-neck t-shirt which didn’t even show any cleavage. Not that I had a lot to show off in that department. “Answer me now Lizzy,” Jasper growled. “It is just jeans and a t-shirt, Alpha.” “It shows off every single curve of your body. In the future, you will cover up more. Is that clear?” His gaze drifted down my body, taking me in before moving back up to my face again. If I didn’t know better then I would have sworn that I saw the hint of lust in his eyes as he assessed my body. But that couldn’t be right, could it? “Yes alpha,” I mumbled, not wanting to risk making him even more angry by asking questions or prolonging this conversation. From past experience, I had learnt that things usually went better if I just agreed with everything he said. “Good girl.” He purred before letting go of me. I froze on the spot for a brief moment, too scared to move in case he had more to say. If there was one thing Jasper didn’t like it was me walking away before he had finished berating me. I had made that mistake before and it wasn’t one that I was likely to make again in a hurry. When it was clear that he had finished with me I started backing away slowly. After a few slow backwards steps, I turned around and started sprinting away as fast as I could. I knew that it was weak of me, I knew that I should have been braver but Jasper is so strong, and I am only an Omega. If he ever hit me he would put me in the hospital for weeks, and even though it had never happened before, I didn’t want to take that risk.
