Welcome to my life
Stephany's P.O.V
KICK!!
"Mmmm."
KICK!! KICK!!
"Stop it, please. I'm trying too sleep."
KICK!! KICK!! KICK!!
"Ugh!"
what the hell?
I groan. it is too early for this s**t. I'm still sore from the beating I took yesterday from Chris and his friends all over a spilled drink.
~FLASH BACK~
I'm carrying 9 drinks on a tray, trying to hurry to the game room were Chris and his d**k wad friends are hanging out. I make it into the room just a minute to spare of the time he told me to be there and hand every body their drinks. Just as I'm about to give the last one to Cody, I accidentally lose my footing and the drink covers him from head to toe.
SHIT!!
"I am so sorry."
I begin to panic and use the hand towel I have to try and clean it up, but he just shoves me away.
"Get the f**k away from me you worthless f*****g bitch."
Cody seethes. I lower my head, trying not to say anything else and hide my glare because I'm about to lose my s**t and I don't want anymore trouble today. I am not allowed to talk back or talk at all, but that was wishful thinking though, because I get grabbed by the back of my neck and come face to face with Chris and the rest of his friends who are grinning evilly at me. I got punched in the face, kicked in the stomach, my hair pulled and literally thrown out of the room whilst the guys laughed at me. Once I picked myself up from the floor and gathered myself I let the tears fall. It's been a LONG ass day. No way in hell will I allow them to see me cry though. They will just make fun of me and hurt me some more. I ran outside to the pond and splashed water on my face to remove the evidence of my tears. After a few minutes of just sitting there with my hands over my face, I get up and grab my things. I laid my sheets on the floor and laid down, ready for sleep to overcome me, whilst waiting on Veda to settle in as well.
~END OF FLASH BACK~
So now I'm wondering why Veda is trying to wake me up.
"What Veda?"
I ask her in a raspy voice as I sit up and rub the sleep out of the corner of my eyes. What could be so important that she keeps kicking my leg? I was thinking it was my bestie but I was dead wrong. It's Sam, The Alpha and Luna's daughter and the soon to be Alpha, Chris's sister. She is standing there with one hand on her hip and looking at her nails on the other hand with a bored, smug look on her face.
"what I would give to wipe that look off her face."
I roll my eyes at my wolf.
"It's about time you woke your lazy ass up. I have been out here for ten minutes now! Just wait until I tell father!"
Ugh!
Just want I need. A real life nightmare. It's bad enough I have horrible dreams and can hardly sleep. Now I have to listen to this b***h? That voice though, it's like nails on a chalkboard. We both know she hasn't been out here that long. She is exaggerating. She just wants a reason for me to be on her parents s**t list, like unusual. She lives for V and myself to get into trouble.
"Where the hell is Veda? I haven't seen her."
I looked around and could not spot her. I began to panic because Veda doesn't wander too far from me. The last time she did some jack asses tried to assault her, so now she stays in close proximity to me. Relief washed over me when I saw V running towards me from behind Sam. As she got closer she realized who was standing there and slightly froze but continued walking, just at a slower pace and her head lowered. Hearing the sound of approaching foot steps through the crunching of leaves and twigs, Sam turned around glaring at V.
"Where the hell were you?"
She snaps. I can see the fear in V's eyes.
"I um, I....I..I w..was."
"You um, you were what? spit it out loser."
COUGH, COUGH.
I faked a cough to avert Sam's attention back to me so she would leave V alone, besides, she came outside for a reason. Nobody comes out here to our 'room' unless they are beating us. I use the word room lightly because V and I don't have a room. We have the outside and a sheet on the ground. We live outside like literal animal. We are not even allowed inside the pack house other than cooking and cleaning. We are slaves of the pack.
"Your ugly presence is being wanted in the dinning room."
It wasn't time to make breakfast yet so I was wondering what is going on. Sam turns to walk away but being the b***h she is, She turns back around and jumps at V, making her squeal. Sam turns back around and cackles as she heads towards the pack house.
"Today!"
She screeches, without even looking back. I felt bad for my best friend. She is always so intimidated by everyone and everything.
"Are you alright V?"
"Yes. Thank you for taking her stare away from me. There is something about her that screams I'M A DEMON!!"
V states with a slight shutter
"Ha ha ha ha. That's great. I always pictured
medusa, you know, If you look into her eyes
you'll turn to stone."
I replied trying to calm Veda down.
"That's because she has resting b***h face. Oh wait, before we go in there...happy birthday Stephany!!"
Veda hands me a box wrapped in news paper and when I open it, I gasp upon seeing what it is.
"Oh my goddess V, It's beautiful. Thank you.
You didn't have to get me anything though."
I'm wiping my tears that had fallen. V got me a beautiful silver ring, well, what looks like silver, that has a sapphire heart that resembles my birthstone. I pull her in for a hug. She knows me a too well. I've always favored things that looked silver over gold jewelry, even though I own neither. When we would look through magazine that the girls would throw away I would be in awe of the silver. Gold is nice too but I saw silver looking better on me and I was right. I was wondering how she was able to get this for me, because we don't get paid here at all. Hell, we barely eat. I will ask her later on about it.
"I know I didn't have to get you anything, I wanted to. You're my best friend and everyone deserves a little something on their birthday. Speaking of which you should have your wolf now. What's her name? what is she like? Ohh I can't wait to see what she looks like when you first shift. I can't wait until I'm 18 and what my wolf will look and be like. Just a few more months eek"
This girl.
I think whilst mentally rolling my eyes. She gets excited over the littlest things.
"Happy birthday princess."
"Thank you Winter."
I come out of my mind link with my wold and answered Veda's question.
"Her name is Winter and she's a lot like me.....so far that is."
The truth is I've had my wolf all my life and had my first shift at 5 with my brother being present and it didn't hurt either like they say it does. Normally at 18 is when we gain our wolf counterpart and then have our first shift but I didn't have to wait. As far as what she looks like she is a white wolf with a tint of lavender and has purple eyes. I know this because Adam was staring at me with his mouth hung open like he was trying to catch flies. I walked over to the lake that we use to bathe in an seen her. I was in awe. I had and still have never seen a white wolf let alone a white wolf with tints of lavender and purple eyes. I always thought and would say I was a freak but Winter kept assuring me that I wasn't, That I was and am special. Although I'm not too sure what is so special about me. My body is scarred from the abuse. she couldn't heal me or people would find out. I'm afraid that my mate wouldn't want me because he would think I'm ugly.
"You are NOT ugly princess, so stop."
"How dare you growl at me."
I chuckle whilst faking being hurt and mad and place and hand over my heart. causing Winter. to scoff and If I could see, probably roll her eyes.
"Come on birthday girl. Let's go see what Alpha douche pants wants."
" Ha ha ha. I love you V."
"I love you too."
We both laugh. In case you haven't figured it out, we can't stand our Alpha and Luna or their family, hell even the pack. For whatever reason we are the most hated pack members here. We are treated as literal animals. If you're wondering about our families, well mine are a part of the pack. In fact they are the beta male and female to the Alpha. Yes you read that right. I'm of beta blood but get treated as a rogue and my family, aside from my big brother Adam, allowed it to happen. Adam always stuck up for me and was beyond pissed when our parents kicked me out of our home but couldn't really do anything because they said it was Alpha and Luna's orders and wishes and he nor them could go against them. He turned down being beta for Chris, even though they were best friends. Adam couldn't help run a ruthless pack. He has no idea about the abuse though. I never told him. I hid it from him. As far as he was aware I was just treated badly. He would always make sure V and I had food when he noticed we barely ate. We would always make excuses for why. When the opportunity arrived, he went to warrior training. I didn't want to be the reason he had to stay. He always wanted to become a warrior, so I lied and pretended everything was fine. There was a time when my parents seemed to love me, or so I thought. Maybe it was just me being a dumb, naive child. As for V, well she was at school when a fire broke out at the Rodriguez cottage, killing her older sister Fey and her parents, Edward and Nina, so The Alpha, Danny and Luna, Morgan made her an omega and a child slave as well since she had no money to stay in her house, which is how we met and became the best of friends. Rumors spread that she set up the fire which is bull s**t. She loved her family and was devastated when she found out after she came home from school. I used to go to school as well but I was told "Chores were an all day thing" so I was forced to quit, never graduating. Each pack has a school for our kind to attend and I made a promise to myself that If I ever ran away I would go back to school somehow. Maybe I would live my life in a human town. Being a rogue is frowned upon, even if you are a non violent one. Right now V and I are walking towards the pack house. I knock on the door and wait for it to open to be let in. As soon as it does, I'm greeted with a groan and an eye roll.
good morning to you too buddy.
We make our way to the dining room Where Danny is sitting at the head of the table and Morgan is standing beside him with her hand on his shoulder looking at me with so much disgust.. The feeling is mutual
"Ah, good, you're here on time......for once. Today is your birthday is it not?
what in the hell?
He is being nice to me? something is up because this is not him at all. Normally I'm getting screamed at by him. I am not too sure where he is going with this or why he's even asking. It's not like he gives a s**t but I intend to find out.
"Yes?"
I extend the s in the word slowly as I look at him questioningly. He snaps his head up and growls as he looks at me, clearly wanting me to address him by his title, as Alpha, but I don't, at least not yet. I wait it out a few moments, knowing I'm pushing his buttons.I want to see if he will continue being nice. I can see from the corner of my eye that V is fidgeting with her shirt. Twisting and twirling the end of it with her fingers, something she does when she's nervous, and right now, she is. She's extremely anxious because she knows what I'm doing, which is me purposely pissing him off. He can't stand the fact that his growls, tones or commands don't work on me, they never have. I'm not sure why. I'm the only one in this whole pack house he can't force to submit or make me do s**t. None of them can and pisses them off. I was just about to answer him when he cleared his throat and he spoke first. I mentally chuckle and roll my eyes at him .
what an i***t!
"Do you want to change your answer?"
Danny sounded slightly agitated as he continued to speak but still remaining calm.
very strange
I'll admit, him acting like this through me off and I didn't like it. He is definitely up to something. as far as changing my answer to address him?
nope, not really.
I decided to do it anyway, just for Veda's sake. She was looking like she was going to cry.
"Yes Alpha, today is my birthday."
I hear V release a deep breath and when I look over at her I see and feel relief from her. Yes, feel. It's strange but ever since I can remember I could sense and feel peoples emotions. It used to overwhelm me to the point I would get physically sick. Try having 150 plus peoples emotions coursing through your body all at once and most of it being negative, hatred, and disgust and have it be directed towards you. How would you feel? Not very good I assume.
"Did you send out all of the invitations on the list I gave you last week for Chris's Alpha ceremony tonight?"
"Yes I did...Alpha."
yuck.
"Very well, your Luna and I have discussed this and feel that since you managed to follow orders without being a f**k up for once in your life and since it's your birthday, You can have one meal, at dinner tonight, with the rest of us. One size serving of 3 different things.. That's all you get. No more. If I find out you have more, there will be whippings and you will spend days in the dungeons, Now go, we're getting hungry and the pack will be up soon. Make sure you get all your chores done today including Chris's room. There is a high chance he will find his mate this evening and we want his room to be nice and clean for her. Also, the back yard needs to be set up and ready for the party before 7 pm. IS THAT CLEAR?"
Danny yells at me and I decided to bow slightly because I didn't want another day without food. 5 days is long enough, so whatever I have to do to make sure that I get some food, so be it, that and if I didn't Danny's b***h ass of a wife will throw one of her famous hissy fits about what an ungrateful piece off s**t I am and how they should just banish me, which they wouldn't. The pack would go to hell in a hand basket. No one here can cook so the pack would starve and they would break a nail if they so much as lifted a feather duster.
"Yes sir. Thank you Alpha and Luna."
I felt as if I had acid on my tongue just saying those words but the thanks was genuine. As for Chris finding his mate? Well I truly feel sorry for the one who gets mated to him. As we were about to go to the kitchen to begin cooking, Sam came strolling in with that smug, obnoxious look on her face and whispered something to her parents. They all look at us and Clearly whatever she said has made them angry.
what a b***h;
Sam smirks at us. Knowing her. something bad is about to happen to one if not both of us.
"Veda, Where do you think you're going?"
Asks Morgan with an evil grin.
"To the kitchen to help prepare breakfast Luna."
Veda spoke so low that if you were human you wouldn't hear.
"Oh No. No No No. I have a better idea. My daughter has informed us that you were not around when she came to retrieve you for your Alpha, therefore you will go to the laundry room... BUT I want All of it washed, folded and brought up to the rooms and any beds that need to be made, made by the time of the ceremony or you can spend the night in the dungeons being whipped."
"WHAT?!?"
V was so shocked that you accidentally shouted. her eyes got wide as saucers after realizing her mistake She has NEVER spoken out of line to any of them. She always follows the rules and now since she accidentally blurted something out, in a bit of a panic she will have a worse punishment.
oh no! poor V
"Talking back to your Luna and speaking at all without permission? No food tonight. We WERE feeling generous too, but you ruined that. NOW LEAVE!"
Danny shouts. V bowed her head and left the dining room as fast as he could. I could see tears run down her face. I wanted to go after her and comfort her and to let her know everything will be okay, but I couldn't I had to do my chores too and it's up to me to make sure Veda can eat as well. It's a shitty reason for her to be punished but they also find every excuse for us to get in trouble. She would never finish in time. That is why Morgan gave her that chore. Normally we don't mind laundry duty. We don't get bothered and it gives us time to think. But this, this is going over bored. The laundry here seems never ending when you have 150 members in the pack.
"Don't worry V, I'll help you." I mind-link her.
"Oh my goddess! Thank you. I would never finish in time and probably end up in the dungeons with a beating."
We came out of the mind-link when Danny yelled.
"GO....NOW!!!!"
"Y..yes A..Al...Alpha."
V bows and heads for the laundry room. He is just trying to scare us, only I'm not scared.
"pfft...The only thing we're afraid of is his ugly face."
I mentally rolled my eyes at my wolf. She is a riot. Just as I was about to push open the swinging door that leads to the kitchen I heard Morgan complaining.
"You invited her to eat with us!! Have you lost your damn mind?"
"In case you have forgotten a few elders will be attending Chris's Alpha ceremony to witness the exchanging of the title and Alpha power. We have to make our pack look good. We have had too much negativity since we have had that peace treaty in place. In a few months it is up for renewal."
fucking asshole!
I snapped my head in their direction and glared at them but they didn't seem to notice. So that's what all the fake being nice was about? He needs to make himself look good.
Ugh, f*****g asshole.
I rubbed my face in frustration. Using me to make the pack seem better in front of Elders. I finally enter the kitchen and begin cooking. When I finished I cleaned up and made my way to the fourth floor where Chris resides. Why me? I groaned with annoyance. As I make my way closer to the door I'm suddenly hit with this sweet smell. Unless Chris has friends in his room, Then he's my mate, which I'm hoping to the moon goddess he is not but knowing her, who seems to have a sense of humor, earlier I thought I would feel bad for whoever his mate is. Welp, I think that is me. I feel bad for myself. The closer I get to the room the stronger the smell becomes, and He is in there with someone but unfortunately that someone happens to be a girl not his friends. I slowly make my way towards his room when I hear the door open and out flies a naked Erin, followed by the loud bang of a slamming door. Of course it's just another skanky w***e in his bed. Nothing new there only this one seems to think she will be his Luna and is his girlfriend. She can have that spot. She stands there looking at the door with a shocked expression before turning around and seeing me. She glares at me with so much hatred and disgust. Acting like she didn't just get kicked out, she stands tall and tried to sound and look confident.
"Why are you on my mate's floor?"
pfft, mate, in her dreams
But I kept that thought to myself, I have business to attend to.
Erin sneers at me, not even trying to cover herself.
gag
I guess when every guy in the pack has seen your body you no longer care. Hell, I'm sure she has more std's in her then a medical book has in it.
"Leave."
I say to her. I know she will run and tell but I have to deal with this and then clean Chris's room.
"WHAT? you can't...."
I cut her off before she could finish her sentence.
"Did I stutter? I said LEAVE..NOW!
She ran away shaking and I thought I noticed her head bowing, weird. I swallow the lump in my throat and prepare myself for the rejection that I'm hoping and praying to the moon goddess will happen. I'm accepting or rejecting no matter what. I don't need or want another reason to be tied here to him or these people. All they have done is cause me pain. Mentally and physically. So there is NO way in hell I'll be with him. Here we go I think to myself with my hand up about to knock, but before I can the door opens again and I'm getting forcefully pulled into his room. I'm in his lair. I'm in the devils den I think to myself. I wish I could run but I can't I have to do this and I literally can't. He has his body pressed up against me with my back to the door, his face mere inches from mine. He looks at me in the eyes and we both say mate at the same time. His eyes hold shock, disgust, lust and happiness... That can't be right. He hates me and trust me, I hate him just as much. He leans his face close to my neck and inhales deeply making shivers go up my spine and not in the good way. I tried to push him away because I couldn't stand his body so close to mine but it was no use. The harder I struggled against him the more he pressed his body into mine. I still fought to break free until he yanks my hair down making me whimper. then he crashes his lips to mine. I wanted to vomit. After the kiss was over I slapped him across the face. Clearly shocked by what I just did, he looked at me evilly, his eyes going black and punched me.
"You dare hit your Alpha?"
He growls in my face. He then looks at me and says the most amazing words to my ears.
"I, Christopher Williams of Dark moon pack reject you Stephany white as my mate and future Luna of the Dark moon pack."
Thank you Moon Goddess. I looked Chris right in the eyes and said the next few words loud and proud
"I, Stephany White accept your rejection as your mate and future Luna of the Dark moon pack."
He stumbled back a bit and put his hands on his chest as if to be in pain. what the f**k? I didn't really care either way. I turned around and left out the door sighing in relief and not caring about the sad, mad and shocked look he had on his face or that I didn't even clean the room. I pissed him off. I slapped him and rejected him. Nobody dared deny the soon to be Alpha and I did. I even looked him in the eyes when I said my rejection to him which is something no one else would do, I know he probably wants to murder me. I felt absolutely amazing. He couldn't believe it. He thought he would cause me more pain but it kind of looked like he was the one in pain.
good
I wanted to get as far away from him as I possibly could. I ran down the stairs. I couldn't wait for today to be over with. I went to the laundry room and V and I spent the rest of the afternoon finishing the clothes and beds. I then made my way outside to set up. About an hour after I got outside I finished just in time. people were starting to arrive. I went to the kitchen and grabbed my tray and returned out back. I was offering people snacks and drinks and saw Veda doing the same on the other side of the yard. More and more people were showing up and soon the back yard was filled. I was rushing around, making sure every one had been attended to and to see if anyone wanted refills. As I was making my way to a group of people I was snatched by my hair and dragged away deep into the woods and away from everyone and got slapped by Morgan
"WHAT THE HELL?"
I yell and glare while holding my face.
"How dare you speak to me and a pack member you ungrateful little b***h!"
"WHAT THE f**k ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?"
I knew I should have stayed quiet or else I'll make this worse, but my mouth wouldn't cooperate. I get in a lot of trouble. I have no filter and when I get going it's impossible for me to stop, and right now I have had it. I've had it with this pack and these people.
"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THIS. I'M YOUR LUNA. AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TELL SOMEONE TO LEAVE? YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK TO ANYONE!!
Morgan kept screaming at me. She was hurting my ears. I was seeing red though. That's what was going on. Little miss slut bag ran and tattled on me
snitch.
"You f*****g snitch."
I direct my anger at her. Morgan and Sam grabbed both of my arms and Erin hit me.
SLAP!!
"Is that the best you've got? Was that supposed to hurt? Couldn't handle me by yourself so you had to get the b***h brigade to come in like captain save a hoe for your skanky ass?"
"Why you little..."
Sam starts, while raising her hand to hit me but I caught her hand mid air, shoving her back and growling.
"Don't EVER f*****g touch me again bitch."
I saw them all slightly flinch and noticed Erin once again bowed at my tone, they all did, but it didn't stop them from attacking me further.
"You're nothing, a useless waste of space."
Morgan yelled but quieted down. I guess she didn't want to draw attention to us since there were Elders here.
PUNCH PUNCH!!
She punches me in the head twice, splitting it open.
"You're trash!! Your own parents don't want you! Noone ever will."
I get punched in the stomach by Sam. Erin is watching everything whilst smirking evilly.
KICK
I began whimpering I'm in pain.
"P...pl..please s..st...stop."
I hated that I was begging but I couldn't take anymore. I noticed there was a pool of blood at my feet and I was becoming light headed but that didn't stop them. The beating continued with a kick to the chest knocking me down on my back and knocking the wind out of me. I was trying to catch my breath but it seemed useless. They were going to kill me. It wasn't until I saw a foot aming for my head that the torture stopped by the feeling of the ground shaking from underneath me, from the sound of a very angry, pissed off wolf's powerful growl. I thought I heard the word mate but wasn't sure because I was slipping in and out of consciousness until the out part of it won over and then.... blackness.
