Alone In Prison For A Year
AURORA'S POV
"What a life, what a f*****g life," the omega beside me kept cursing under his breath.
Cold and abandoned was what I could feel as I was scrubbing the prison floor. I have been scrubbing this particular floor for a year now, and it is obviously shining to the point that I can see myself in it. I could not even be able to feel my hands anymore because, apart from using them to scrub, they had been chained too.
The wolf guard that usually supervises our work came in, and I just decided to give him a chance to pass. I thought he was going to hit the omega beside me because of the noise he was making, but he didn't. He actually looked like he was in a good mood today.
"Aurora," I heard him call a name that was quite familiar, but I placed my head down as usual, not wanting to look into his eyes.
"Aurora," he repeated more loudly, that my eardrum had started to pain me, but I still remained calm despite the fact that I was told to always look down and mind my business.
"Murderer," he shouted and hit the bat he was holding to a table; that was when I realized that it was me he was calling all the while.
"Don't make me repeat myself again," he said with the venom in his voice.
Due to the fact that, ever since I stepped my feet into this cell, I have been called just one name, a murderer, because I was accused of killing my own parents and, since then, I have actually forgotten my real name. Aurora.
I stood up in fear. I didn't know what I had actually done this time around. I was already so used to the beatings that my wolf became actually very weak. As the Alpha's daughter, I was supposed to have a very strong wolf, but due to the wolfsbane and constant beating, I could barely feel my wolf.
The wolf guard came over to me and removed the chains that had been on me for a year now and gave me new clothes and a letter and asked me to leave.
I was shocked and surprised at what I just saw. I felt that they were actually up to another prank, but it was until I was met with fresh air and the clouds that I realized that it was real.
Feeling the fresh air and the cool breeze made me remember how life was when my parents were alive. Since I was their only child, I was really pampered. I never experienced any suffering at all. My dad, Alpha Gabriel Fernandez, was really a very accommodating and understanding alpha not until our lives and happiness shattered.
My mom and I went on a stroll only for us to be attacked by rogues. She really tried her best to protect me, but there were too many of them. She asked me to run for my life because, as of then, I hadn't gotten my wolf yet. I wasn't strong like her. I ran as fast as I could, but some rogues still caught me and inflicted wounds on me before my dad stepped in and saved me, but it was already too late for my mom. She wasn't able to make it.
My dad tortured himself for months and couldn't keep up with the affairs of the pack until he left me too in this cold world, and here I am being accused and jailed for killing them, not until I am released now and in two days' time now I will be turning eighteen. By that time, I will hope to find my mate and he will surely protect me.
I opened the letter I was given, and it read, 'Come straight to the Moon Blade pack and resume your duties.' I held the letter as I kept staring at it. The Moon Blade pack is actually my pack, and now it has been taken over by a new Alpha who actually put me in jail and now wants me to return to the pack to work for them.
I swallowed that bitterness that welled up in my throat as I walked out of the prison gate. One year of suffering, pain and torture, accused of being a murderer, and now I'm free.
There, waiting just beyond the gate was my best friend Tina and a guy who happened to be by her side, but I didn't care about him. I was so happy to see Tina, but I wasn't happy that she stopped visiting me in prison. I gathered the remaining energy. I had to walk up to her to embrace her, and she immediately pushed me to the ground.
"Watch your steps, Murderer. "What was that for?" She said as she looked at me in a disgusted manner.
I was so shocked when I heard her call me a murderer. She was the last person that I would ever expect to call me that name. What has gotten to her? Has she forgotten about me?
"It's me, Aurora. "Have you forgotten about your best friend,"I said as I tried to hold her hands, but instead she removed her hands from mine. Her actions were really hurting me so badly. The only person I considered a family has already left me too.
"Stay away from me, murderer, I can't have a murderer as a friend not to talk about my best friend" she said, not wanting to look straight into my eyes.
"So what exactly are you doing here," I said as I raised my voice at her. Since she is seeing me as a murderer, what exactly is she doing here? Why did she come to see me?
"Don't think I actually came to see you. "If not because of the Alpha we wouldn't be here." She said, then turned her back on me and entered the car.
Before I could say anything else, the man with her came out and opened the back seat for me.
"Get inside, we have really spent so much time," he said, not waiting for my response and immediately dragged me inside the car and locked the passenger seat before making his way to the driver's seat and drove off immediately.
While on our way, I noticed the spark between both of them and how they kept holding hands. It was very obvious that they were mates. My friend Tina didn't even bother to look at me or say anything. To her, I was actually a stranger.
"We will always be together as friends. "I'm here for you so you don't have to worry about anything." I could hear her promise to me two years ago in my head. She made me believe in myself... she made me strong for myself... and that was how I was able to survive in prison. My parents took her as their own daughter and most times I questioned why they loved her more than me, and now I was a complete stranger to her.
I couldn't help but the tears I had held for long began to drop down to my face as I kept looking at my best friend, now turned ex. Now I was all alone... No father... No mother... No siblings... No Mate...and No friends... JUST ME.
