The Alphas Protector

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Hello I'm Candace (Candy) Anderson 17 years old and I live with my aunt Deb and uncle Dan. They are alpha and luna if the Cross Moon pack. That would make you think I have a pretty good life.

"Child get your ass over here and clean this up" My aunt yelled at me

I went over and silently cleaned up the water spilled on the table by my cousin. At times I believe they do it just because I have to clean up after them.

"Anything else luna" I ask when I'm done.

"Yeah Sam's alpha ceremony is coming up and the pack house needs a deep cleaning"

I rolled my eyes I had just done a deep cleaning and I was tired of being pushed around.

"I've just finished a deep cleaning last week" I tell her a little more annoyed then I wanted to sound.

"What did you say you ungreatful brat" she said as she back handed me splitting my lip open. "We took you in and put a roof over your head. You have no reason to back talk to me" Deb said before slapping me again and walking away.

I waited for the abuse to continue from my cousin like it normally does but then noticed he had already left.

I was used to getting slapped around by my aunt, uncle, and cousin. It was an everyday thing anymore. I went to my small room and cleaned my lip up then went to get cleaning for the alpha ceremony for Sam.

I went back to my room and cried. I shouldn't be surprised that the people I call family bonce again forgot my birthday. I sign and look at myself in the small mirror I had and wipe the tears away.

"Happy birthday to me." I say then sign "Well back to work"

My only hope to get out of here is that I find my mate and hope they are from another pack.

*Two Days Later*

I spent the last two days cleaning up the pack house so it was completely spotless for Sam's alpha ceremony tonight. Today is being spent prepping food for the party. Thankfully it's not just me but the other kitchen omagas doing it all together.

"Candy can you make sure that the fruit salad is mixed and ready" Kelly the head of the kitchen asked. Her and a couple other omegas where the only ones that who nice to me.

We got everything ready and then because it was a pack event we all had to go so we got the chance to go change and look nice. I however didn't have anything that didn't have holes in it besides one white dress. It was a little shorter then I wanted but it was all I had that would be nice to wear for tonight.

I look my ratty towel and bar of soap and went to the small half bath that I was allowed to use and locked the door. I began to wash my long hair in the sink making sure I got all the soap out and took the towel and dried it the best I could before moving on the my body. I cleaned up the best I could and got dressed. I brushed my hair out and looked in the broken mirror and sighed.

"That's as good as it gets" I tell myself

I walk out of the bathroom and take my things back to my room. I find some nice shoes and put them on and take a deep breath. There was no use in actually trying to delay the inevitable. I walked out and saw the people who had gathered. There where other packs here for the party. I walk down the stairs and start to head out back when my aunt grabs me.

"Listen here you little abomination you do anything but stand in the back and be quiet I will make sure the rest of your life is miserable." she glared at me

"Yes luna" I say and look down before saying "I'm already miserable" under my breath. I was hoping she didn't hear be but when I saw the hand coming at me I knew I was wrong.

After my aunt slapped me I felt my lip begin to bleed again. Then her daughter came over. Brooklyn was 22 and only home for the ceremony and party. She didn't even bother asking why she just began beating on me. I was on the floor bleeding and I knew I had a couple broken ribs when she finally stopped. I stood up and found a dark cornor to stand in outside while the ceremony began. I was hoping the worst of it was over but I knew I was probably wrong.
