The Lost pack

"I was running and running as I was being chased by wolves but it was not a game but a hunt..and their prey was me. I moved away from the trees as I increased my speed to avoid being caught .I was panting heavily as one of the wolves caught up with me and pushed me to the ground. It was a black wolf, if I was in a different situation I would have admired how beautiful it looked. Just as it was about to bite me I heard , " Poppy?Poppy?Wake up .It's just a nightmare. " I woke up to find myself cuddled next to my best friend Charissa. I cried as she tried her best to comfort me. I had the same nightmare every time and someone would expect me to be used to it. It all started when we were kidn*pped by Victor the alpha of this pack. I can never acknowledge him as my alpha after we watched him kill our alpha who was my father and our beta Charissa's father. He only spared us to make us his slaves..he didn't even care that we were only nine years old at that time. We were currently sleeping on an old rusty mattress . I couldn't tell Charissa thank you but from my expression she knew I am always grateful for her. After watching the blood shed of our pack I have never spoken again. Not that I can not its only that I have never found the need to. After I calmed down we woke up with the rest of the helpers to go help our father figure ,Liam, to prepare for a visiting Alpha. It was a rule that no slave was to be fed unless it was during an occasion like today but Liam always tried his best to get us leftovers, he is the only reason we are alive today. As we were preparing my mind drifted and I found myself thinking of the visiting Alpha. Rumours have it that he is the one who made his pack rise from one of the least to the second greatest after the royal wolf pack.It is said that he is much more cruel than Victor himself and that scares the hell out of any of us slaves. Just then we heard growls meaning that the other pack had already arrived.We quickly assembled in a straight line just in time. They alighted their huge cars then opened the door for who I assume is their alpha. According to the pack rules a slave is not supposed to look at an alpha , they should look down as a sign of submission but I don't know why there was this pull that forced me to look and today was just my lucky dad (note sarcasm) I met eye to eye with a blue captivating eyes that could make any one melt at his feet. Victor welcomed him and they started heading to the house. I quickly looked down as he approached only for him to stop next to me. He bent down pretending to tie his shoes and gazed directly at my eyes. I prayed a silent prayer to the moon goddess that the Alpha could just move. "Interesting " he said as he quickly stood up smirking at me. "What's interesting ?" Victor asked. My heart skipped a beat . "Your home, I like how your servants respect you." he said. Victors laugh cut him off as he said ,"Thank you for trying to complement me but we both know you are better at controlling servants than me." Mason just gave a short laugh and then they all got into the mansion. Charissa and Liam came running to me. "Are you okay? " they both asked at the same time. Was I ok?I just nodded giving them a short smile. We then headed to the kitchen. Liam and Charissa took the food to the table as I tried to relax myself. Something felt wrong and I was scared of what will happen next. After they served the food they came back to the kitchen and we all just sat in silence staring at space. "Victor, let me go use one of your washrooms." I heard Alpha Mason say . "Its okay, let me get one of the servants to show you the way...Poppy!" he shouted my name. I quickly got up and run to Victor. "Why did you take so long to get here you i***t!" I flinched from his high tone. I just stood there shaking as I hoped he does not hit me. "Maybe if you do your job well, the moon goddess can have pity on you and at least give you a voice." he finishes mockingly. I felt tears stinging my eyes but I can never cry in front of him..he feeds on our weakness. "Take the alpha to the guest room." I quickly walked as Mason followed closely behind me. I led him up the starts to the furthest room on the corner. I opened the door and showed him the washrooms as I went to open the curtains to give light to the room. As Mason was in the washroom, I took it as an opportunity to wipe my eyes. The only problem was the more I wiped my eyes the more the tears flew down. I heard Mason wash his hands and I quickly faced the other directions so that he could not see me crying . As I felt him close the door of the washrooms. I quickly started leading him to the door of the room when I felt him stop. I turned to see him looking at me intensively . He then passed me and got out of the room. I quickly followed him and led him downstairs . I could still feel his gaze fixed on me and I didn't like the feeling I got. He sat down next to the alpha as I bowed down to the alpha and left to go to the kitchen. When I reached to Charissa , I could not control myself. Both Liam and her hugged me as Charissa kept on cursing the alpha. "Let's now get to business" we heard Victor say. "Your father and I were not always in good terms , as you know, so I wanted us to be friends. No more wars between us. What do you say?" he finished laughing nervously. There was a moment of silence which was cut off by Alpha Mason . "And what do I get out of this?" he asked in a serious tone. "You get peace from us?" Victor answered or should I say asked. Mason's laugh filled the room and he said," Peace?from you? Funny , you do know that I can wipe cut all you pack with just a quarter of my pack , so Victor..give me a better price." he finished. Victor stayed silent then said," What do you want then?Me to be your servant?! " he shouted and you could hear his pissed tone and it scared the hell out of me. Not surprisingly Alpha Mason did not seem to be affected since his voice was still holding power when he said ,"Give me one of your servants , they seem to really come in handy ." We all stiffened at that proposal. Why would he ask for servants when I'm sure he has enough. Surely the alpha cannot accept it. My thoughts were cut off by Victor's answer. "I can give you up to twenty. It's a deal then...friend." he finished laughing happily. "Servants " he shouted and we all assembled in a straight line. Both Alpha's stood up from their seats and came close to us. " Chose those you want friend." " I only want one. " "Then get choosing, we have to celebrate" Alpha Mason began moving from the front of the line coming towards our direction. I held Charissa's hand as I felt him come closer. He stopped just in front of me and I felt my legs go weak. "I'll have this one " he said and I faced up to find him staring at..Charissa!!" "Good choice ,she will make a good one." I could not believe it..my best friend. "Actually , I'll have two" he said. "Come on , chose and let us get done with it . There was silence , the he said ,"I'll also have the dumb one." he finished smirking at me. I stood there confused . Hoping and begging that all this was a dream. A new. nightmare ..but the only bad thing was ,my nightmares never lasted this long.. I can not believe it. I am being given out to the monster of all monsters...Alpha Mason. We both hugged Liam as I cried since it felt as though I was losing another father and Indeed I was. Charissa just hugged him telling him to take care . We tied the only clothes we had which were not much. Just the clothes we always dress in and my most prized possession , a picture of my parents with me. Once we were done we headed to our new alpha but not before Liam stopped me and said , " Take care child, I was a good friend of your father and I know its not the right time for me to tell you this but-" he was cut off by Victor's command. " Poppy...get yourself here you w***e!" he finished. I gave one last sad look at Liam ...knowing it might be the last time I ever see him again. " I'm sorry Poppy." he said. "Have this and know that I always considered you as my daughter." he said giving me a necklace. I put it in my bag , careful that no one sees me. I then hugged him one last time and run to the alpha. When I got to where they were , we were directed by one of Alpha's Mason's guards to get to the the back of the car and by the back of the car ,I mean the boot..yes ,that is where all servants ride. As they closed the door behind us , I stared at the mansion and specifically at Liam as all memories came to mind. It was like déjà vu , when we were first taken away from my father , Tristan. The car drove as one thought struck on my mind. It was time for us to go work for the most cruel leader and worst of all, he was only in his eighteen and worse than Victor , I was scared of how he will be a few years from now..will I even be alive. Charissa and I held each other close as we all got lost in our thoughts . ××××××××× I was brought back to my senses by the door being opened. What the hell! If I thought Victor's house was a mansion , then Mason's house is a Castle. I heard Charissa say next to me ," Have mercy!!Is this a palace or a house?" I just nodded and followed her out with our bags in our hands. Alpha Mason came to where we were standing and said,"You will be showed to your room and get freshened up. I do not want any of Victor's smell in my property" and left without saying another word. The guy who was with us introduced himself as Zain . He seemed the same age as Alpha Mason . He said he was his beta and that if we ever require anything we can ask him. He was charming and kept trying to make us feel welcome which was wired because servants are not treated like this...they are harassed and- my thoughts were cut off when he said "And now , here is your room." The room was huge , pained in black and white polka dots and with two beds, one on each side of the room. It was the type of room I had seen Victor with. "Excuse me Zain, which side of the floor do you expect us to be sleeping in since as you can see, there is not any space left. " Charissa finished in frustration. I quickly hit her shoulder and gave her a warning glare. She just stated at Zain not even feeling intimidated . Zain said,"The floor ???why would you even sleep on the floor"he cut himself off finally understanding. "That i***t Victor has his servants sleeping on the floor!!why am I not surprised. Anyway the beds are yours my ladies. The whole room is yours , get dressed and I'll have you sent down for dinner." "Thank you" Charissa said."And sorry for speaking rudely to you." Zain just nodded and left. Charissa and I got in the room and closed the door. "I wonder if Mason is as nice as Zain... or his just how they call him...'monster' " she said and it sent shivers in my body. We get freshened up and we found some clothes on the closet. It was long since I had worn new clothes and it seemed uncomfortable. We both were long dresses , we selected those that seemed to be the cheapest. Then Charissa helped me wash my hair and I also washed hers. We tied then in a simple bun and then stared at ourselves on the mirror. We looked different, no longer with spots of blood on our skin from all the beatings we got and we were not on the rags we used to dress in. After we were done , we heard a knock at the door. "Ladies " we heard Zain call. We went to him , to find him also changed ,at the door. "I thought you were to send someone to get us?" Charissa asked laughing at how he is blushing. It also made me smile. "I..I..Uhm..Actually, I thought I would cone call you myself. Of course I would do anything to see your beauty." he winked at Charissa as he finished. She laughed loud and it made my smile to grow wider. It had been long since I had seen her this happy, I think Zain brings the light in her. "Of course you would , every guy always wants to see this beauty, now let's go Zain , I'm hungry. " " Follow me ladies" he bowed making her laugh again. He seemed really amused by Charissa. That made me smile as we went downstairs .My smile was cut short by the alpha. "Poppy, follow me. I have something urgent to discuss with you." Charissa gave me a small smile to encourage me. I nodded feeling scared and followed him to another room . He sat down as I stood playing with my fingers , a habit I have when I'm nervous. " Poppy, as you know I'm the alpha of this pack and your new alpha. That means you have some rules to follow while you are here :- 1)Rule number one , whatever I say or command you do. 2)Rule number two , you are not allowed to leave this place without my permission. 3)Rule number three, you are not allowed to get into my room or touch anything that is mine. 4)Rule number four,you are not allowed to come near my presence without me calking for you or Zain sending you to me. 5)Rule number five, you will always get punished if you break any of the rules. Once I got all the rules , I nodded. "And one last thing Poppy, Charissa belongs to Zain and you belong to me ,that means you are our personal servants. You are not to take orders from anyone apart from me. You will both be coming with us to our missions, so you have to learn how to fight. Your practise will start tomorrow." I nodded . As I was about to leave I heard him say, "And you will have to talk if you do not want to die earlier than the rest before you .Because silence means you are weak and I hate weakness in servants!"he finished with venom. I stiffened and turned to see him looking at me angrily. I nodded but flinched when he got up smashing his fist on the desk. " You will either learn how to talk or I will get the voice out of you." he then laughed and not a laugh of humour but a wicked chuckle. "And you would not want me to do that because as you have heard I am the monster of all monsters , NOW LEAVE MY PRESENCE!" he shouted as I ran out only to bump into Zain and Charissa laughing. I ran to my room and broke down into tears . I hated how I was weak ,I'm sure my dad would have been so disappointed in me if he were here. Speaking of my dad, I quickly rushed and took the necklace that Liam gave me. It had a symbol that I did not understand but I wore it as it was the only memory I had . I then changed to my night dress and tried to sleep. Not long I heard the door being opened and I knew it was Charissa. "Sweetie you know you can not cry yourself to sleep right. Come on lay your head on my shoulder." I got up sniffing and did as she said. "Poppy remember when we were kids and we were in school and this girls was so mean and she poured her juice all over me because I had 'stolen' her crush. Do you remember how you dumped the trash on her instead because she was not important to waste food on. You always stood up for me..You were always so fierce and strong and although you were small your attitude was bigger. You always told me not to cry because you are always going to be there for me. So wipe your tears bestie ,that little Poppy is still in you. Do not listen to what that fucker has to say. I wish I could take you away from all this..someday we will be free ..someday , but until then I'm here for you." She held me close as I fell into slumber.
