My runaway mate

Chapter 1 - Lacey

Tomorrow was my sixteenth birthday and I will finally meet my wolf. My parents had locked me in my room every other birthday, but this once I would be allowed outside of my room. They told me I would be allowed to shift, but then I was expected to come back to the house. My pack never really knew something was wrong, and I mean who would suspect the lead warrior and his mate of abusing their oldest daughter? They made sure to feed me and made sure I always looked presentable when we had to attend functions with the Alpha and his family.

Ryan, the Alpha's son, would be turning eighteen the day after my birthday. I've had a crush on him since we were little, since before my parents had my siblings. Back when my life was a lot better, when my parents treated me like a daughter, rather than an embarrassment to them. Ryan's little sister, Vestia, and I were the same age and we used to play together while our parents conducted business. Life changed so much when my younger twin siblings were born. I was born an Omega, taking after my mother, and yet my siblings took after our father and they were born as Betas. After they were born, my parents started treating me like a slave for the family. I had to tend to their every need.

My bedroom door, if I could even call this small closet a bedroom, squeaked as it opened roughly, my mother stomping in. Her once auburn hair was now streaked with gray, and her once youthful face was creased with wrinkles. I leaped off the mattress that laid on the floor, it was barely anything more than some springs and fabric. I bowed my head as she got closer to me, baring my neck in submission. I learned a while ago that if I just submitted the moment they came into my room the less punishment I got.

"Lazy mutt, what do you think you are doing still in bed?" She said, grabbing my hair and throwing me on the floor. I instinctively curled into a ball trying to protect my stomach. She kicked me in the ribs and I could hear them crunch as they broke. She sighed as if it took such a toll on her mental wellbeing to abuse me.

"Get up, breakfast needs to be cooked and your brothers need to be woken up. Hurry up." She luckily left it at that and left the room. I groaned as I got up. After tomorrow, I would be able to heal simple injuries like this with no issue. I quickly went to the kitchen, joining the other Omegas that worked for my parents.

"Hi Lacey, are you excited for your birthday tomorrow?" A younger girl named Olympia asked. I smiled at her as I took over making waffles and eggs, putting the finishing touches on them.

"It's just another trip around the sun, pup." I laughed as she stared at me, and one of the older Omegas came over, shooing me away from the stove.

"It's the day you meet your wolf, we all know you're excited, don't mess with the pups." Rita scolded me. I laughed as I hurried up to my twin brothers room. They had been born when I was ten years old and I loved them dearly. Even though my parents changed after they were born, I never once blamed them. They always treated me good and loved me with all of their little hearts.

Opening their door, I was greeted with two sleeping little boys, they would be six later this year. I creeped up to them and even though my ribs burned as I moved, I still bent down and blew raspberries on their bellies until they woke up giggling.

"Alright rascals, lets fill those tummies. Breakfast is ready." They continued giggling as they got up and rushed to the bathroom. "Don't forget to brush your teeth." I called out to them, and was only answered with groans. I quickly cleaned up their room, and laid out some clothing for them. After making sure they were actually going to get ready, I rushed to finish cleaning the house.

"Lacey, tomorrow I expect you out of the house by eleven fifty five, do you understand?" My father told me as soon as he walked into the living room. I nodded my head and checked the time. Luckily I had just enough time to make it to school but only if I left right now. I rushed out the door and didn't stop running until I made it to the school. Hopefully today wouldn't be too terrible.

My locker was once again covered in graffiti. I sighed and opened my locker to grab my books, when I heard a weird grunting coming from the empty classroom next to me. I opened the door slightly, and peeked through the crack. I jumped back when I realized it was two people mating. The girl's moaning was getting louder and then suddenly there was a muffled scream. The door opened, Ryan and his latest girlfriend, Destiny, walked out.
