The Kings Hybrid

Beatrix (Age 5) As I sat on the steps of the pack house waiting for my mother to finish her meeting with Alpha Rodrick. I looked out at the other kids running around playing. I silently wished that I could go and play with them. But I knew that mom and Alpha Rodrick wouldn't like that and would end up just yelling at me. I knew none of the other parents would let them play with me either I didn't know why though. All of the Adults always just look at me with hatred, disgust or pity. I never knew what I did to make them look at me like that. Lost in my own world wondering why I'm treated this way I didn't notice the shadow that stood over me. They cleared their throat, thinking I did something wrong I looked up hesitantly, with fear in my eyes. "I wont hurt you little flower." the man stated. I looked down not knowing what to do fearing getting in trouble. He placed two fingers under my chin lifting my head so I look him in the eye as he crouches in front of me. "Its rude not looking at people in the eye when they talk to you." I started at his grey eyes that showed nothing but kindness. I looked down once again and said in the softest voice "I'm sorry." "You know princesses shouldn't look down their crowns might fall off." he said in a serious tone. My head snapped up looking at him in horror of it actually falling off my small hand reach for the top of my head. Only to relies that I don't have a crown. I look at him and ask "How can a crown fall off if its not there?" He let out the deepest chuckle that I've ever heard. Still looking at him confused his once kind eyes now hold amusement. "No, little flower it practice for when you do have a crown of your own." he said with a genuine smile. "But how do I get a crown if I'm not a princess?" I ask looking in to those grey eyes that seem to have all the answers. "Well you can always ask for one or get one for yourself. Now little flower why are you not playing with the other kids?" he asked me with a serious expression. "I'm not allowed to" I state " Why is that?" he asked with a look of confusion. I look around and notice that their are four other men with him and look down and shake my head. I know i'll get in trouble if I tell him. The man just waits for a response but when I don't give one he lets out a sigh of frustration. I made him mad like all the other adults and just focus on my hands in my lap until I see his hand again as he lift my chin again. "Your not going to tell me are you?" I shake my head he lets out a breath of frustration. "Will you at least tell me your name little flower?" "My name is Beatrix Willow" I say in a meek little voice. "I'm sorry little flower can you say that again, I didn't hear you." I look up and look at every single man that stands around him. "I said my name IS Beatrix Willow." "Nice to meet you Beatrix my name is Dominic Wright, and this is Marcus Allen my second in command." He points to a tall man with Sandy blonde hair and bright blue eyes. "Derrick Ruel my third." He was a little shorter than Marcus, he had short brown hair and forest green eyes. "And finally these two at my warriors Dakota and Xavier white" they both had pitch black hair only difference is Dakota has Blue eyes and Xavier has bright hazel eyes. They all look down at me and smile I couldn't help but flash a toothy grin back at them. I was so focused on the men in front of me I didn't hear the two people leave the house. "Beatrix Lilith Willow, come here now." My mother states snapping me out of talking to these men. "Yes, mommy" I stand up and walk towards her with me head down. She looks at my with hatred but her face doesn't show it. She flashes her signature smile at the men behind me. "I'm so sorry if my daughter bothered you my King." she says sweetly with a slight bow of her head. I snap my head in his direction he has a kind smile on his face as he looks at me. "No problem I approached her." "Well your highness I apologies for making you wait shall we go inside and discuss our business." Alpha Rodrick says Snapping his head away from his kind smile is gone and a serious look replaces it. "Of course." He stops and crouches down to my level lift my chin again "It was nice to meet you little flower and remember what I said about your crown." he said in a soft voice. I watched as him and his men went into the pack house for their meeting with the Alpha. "Come here you little brat" My mother says harshly pulling on my arm in the direction of our home. A yelp of pain passes my lips as my mothers grips tighten as we near home. "I'll teach you a lesson, what have I told you about talking to people." "Not to" I say sadly "And why is that?" she asks as we walk in the house. "Because I am a mistake that wasn't suppose to exist" I state as we approach the basement. I start thrashing to get a way. "Stop or I'll make it worse" I knew she would so I stopped but the tears streaming down my face wouldn't stop. She reach the door flung it open and pushed me down the stairs. As I look up and see my mother descend the stairs I beg her not to hurt me. "You brought this on yourself." She states through clenched teeth as she proceed to beat me. An hour later she has finally grown tired and leaves me on the floor bleeding. I start to stand up but I cant fully my body wants me to stop and lay down again. But I know it gets really cold down here at night.
