Chapter Two

1036 Words
Mallory’s POV “HEY!” I squirm as I feel a hand aggressively shaking my shoulder to wake me up from my slumber. “Hey, hey, Jinx! How long are you going to sleep like a f*****g log?” When I open my eyes, the first thing I see is the face of a man, leaning closer to my face. The face of terror. “AAAH!” I abruptly backed away, and got my head hit on the steel bed frame in the process. Ugh, that will definitely leave a lump on my head. “The f**k, Mallory!” He growls as he glares at me, as if he is the one caught off guard and hitting his head in the process. “Don’t you f*****g scream my ears like that!” Dark hair dyed with ash gray highlights, green eyes piercing through me with his deathly glare and his plump lips, that women often go crazy curves into a frown. When I see that mole underneath his left eye, I know instantly who he is. Seth Cassidy. The youngest of the Cassidy twins. “What do you want, Seth?” I try my best not to sound spiteful despite the fact that he invaded my privacy by entering my room. I’m sure that I locked it last night. “You haven’t made breakfast.” I gape. “It’s Saturday.” And I’m pretty sure that he and his brother aren’t around during this day. I groan as I massage the aching spot of my head before I turn to glance at my phone. I grimace before glaring back at him. “It’s still four in the morning!” “Well, I’m hungry and it’s your job to cook for my family, Jinx.” He flick on my forehead and I groan in pain. Furious, I glare at him. “Why won’t you try cooking even once? Last time I saw you in the kitchen, you broke your mom’s expensive food processor. You should try learning how to cook on your own.” This only made him grimaced. “Is the slave talking back?” “Last time I recall, I thought I was part of your “family”, Seth.” He flicks my forehead once more, this time twice as painful as before. “OWW!” My hands automatically touch the sting on my forehead. “That’s enough wisecracks in the morning, jinx. I am in a sour mood,” he says as he gets up. “Don’t make me wait.” It’s a warning best not to retort, I mentally thought. He then leaves my room, leaving me in a stinging pain of both my forehead and the bruise of my head. “Damn you, f*****g asshole!” I growl as I massage my forehead. He doesn’t have to use his wolf strength to flick it THAT hard. Seth Cassidy, one of the twins who has sadism ingrained in his veins—the spawn of the devil who enjoys making me suffer! I shouldn’t be here but because of the huge pile of debts my parents left after abandoning me, I have no other choice. My parents, Charles and Fiona Black, abandoned me after they embezzled one of the major pharmaceuticals in the pack. The one owned by none other than the Cassidy family. Soon after, they were deemed as rouges by the wolf pack and Alpha Federick Cassidy, the head of the pack and the mayor in this town, intervened and paid all of my parents’ debts. Now, he brought me to his house, meeting his wife, Sarah and their twins who were popular in my school: Seth and Adrian. At first, I was welcomed by Federick, he treated me like his daughter as he kept mentioning to me that despite my parents’ betrayal, he always treated them as his friends. And even though the pack hates me as I am the daughter of the rogues, Alpha Federick always reminded his pack that I am part of the family. I am a part of the Cassidy family. However, the Alpha suddenly died. Alpha Federick, who was the nicest Alpha I’ve ever heard of, suddenly died in his sleep. Many speculated someone killed him or he had a disease which he had been hiding for years. Yet, all the blame in the pack pinned on me—the main suspect even though I wouldn’t dare to harm the one who treated me well! Despite the accusations, the Cassidy family didn’t banish me but instead they started treating me like a slave. The Luna, Sarah Cassidy who hated my guts since day one, started treating me like s**t and worst of all, the twins are even worse than when their father was still alive. Bullying, making me work tirelessly with the household chores, isolation—you named it. And since then, I’ve been through hell being in this household. Thinking about this is only putting me in a sour mood when I had such an amazing dream! Speaking of the dream, that man…that wasn’t Nigel, right? Nigel, my boyfriend and the only one who accepted me in the pack. Oddly enough, the feeling of his touch and his kisses felt too real for me. I couldn’t even remember what he looked like nor his voice when he declared me as his. A faceless man who seemed to be doing a mating ritual in front of the large moon. I feel myself sweat as I slowly reach to touch my neck, it feels so real that I can still feel his fangs barring on my skin, yet at the same time, the bite mark is obviously not present there. I sigh in relief, thanking the moon goddess that it’s not real, definitely not real because Nigel is going to be my mate, after all. I chuckle a bit before my lips curve into a grimly smile—Best not to tell Nigel about this dream. It will only worry him or worst of all, it will make him question my loyalty to him. Yeah, I should do that. Little did I know that that dream is going to change my life for the worse.
