My Three Nightmares

Chapter Two
My eyes widened in shock and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The phone slipped off my hands and I almost lost balance.
"They were coming back?" I panicked as my chest rose and fell steadily while I placed my hand on my chest. I was enveloped with fear when I knew that the three Alphas of the pack that has always made life a living hell for me were coming back.
Trying to control the rate at which I breathed heavily, I exhaled out loudly, squeezing my eyes shut while all the memories about the three Alphas that I had to forget for three years flooded my head.
"I can't believe that I am going through this mess again!" I muttered under my breath while biting the corner of my lower lips tentatively.
Years back, I was taken in by the Alpha and Luna of the pack that I now belonged to. Although what I heard was that my parents were killed by some rogues and I had no idea about the name of the pack since they didn't tell me more than that. When they took me in at the age of eight, I was joyous and happy that I finally had a home and people that I could call family.
However, my expectations were cut short when they made me do a lot of chores on the first day they brought me into the house. My bubbles were busted when they made it clear that I was an Omega and my only usefulness was working as a slave and that was the reason why they specifically took me in.
To worsen my predicament the more, their only son, Andre, bullied me so much at home and in school as well. He bullied me alongside his two friends, Zachary and Chase.
They were the young alphas of the three most powerful packs.
They were hot and handsome and they all had these beautiful eyes that sparkled like canary diamonds glittering inside their orbs. Anyone who saw them for the first time would think good of them and they would think that maybe they were the sweetest in the world but they were the opposite.
They were worse than the devil! I guess it was right to call them the devil.
Gleo high school was established just to unite the three different packs that were powerful, yet rival packs. In a bid to stop the fight and segregation between the three most powerful packs in Volley city, a law was put out and it included that all the members of the three packs must attend the school!
There was no exception for anyone!
The establishment of the school brought about the three trios, Andre, Zachary, and Chase who were worshiped as demigods in the school and were always treated with so much respect even though they treated others like they were a piece of s**t.
Despite their condescending nature, girls flooded around them like bees and boys wanted to get into their clique.
They were the kings of the school!
They would always bully me and make me a laughingstock for their entertainment. They would play heavy metal songs and force me to dance to them and when I didn't dance, one of their girlfriends would always hit me and force me to dance.
I hated them all and I loathed them with extreme passion.
In school cafeterias, I was the only one who sat alone and everyone avoided me like I was a disease. If they weren't avoiding me, they would be picking on me and would hurl things at me to the extent of pouring their leftovers on me.
While everything happened, Andre, Zachary, and Chase would watch with that smug smile on their faces! Well, what could I expect from them since they were the enablers themselves?
To them, I was nothing but a toy and my only hope was that someday, I would leave the Red Moon Pack and run away from this city and relocate to another one where I would start a new life of my own.
However, my nightmare came to an end when a scandal that left the whole city in shock ensued. Zachary, the art lover got into a fight with Andre, the more mischievous one, and the fight was so gory that it left them bleeding.
Zachary had accused Andre of murdering his ex-girlfriend Ashley after she was spotted in Andre's car and the two both got into an accident. Although Ashley died, Andre survived the ghastly motor accident.
Zachary was livid as he accused him of trying to take Ashley from him and since Ashley didn't accept, Andre staged an accident and claimed that she died because of the ghastly motor accident. His reasons were that there was no way Andre could have survived the accident while sitting in the driver's seat since the one who sat in the passenger seat was the one who had a better chance of surviving.
The whole accusations wreaked havoc between the three most powerful packs to the extent of Zachary giving Chase his share of the blame for joining hands with Andre to get rid of his long-time girlfriend, the only woman that he had ever loved.
Since then, Gleo high school had been shut down and everyone had gone their separate ways! Andre, Zachary, and Chase were all sent to different schools abroad. So, I heard.
Now, the thought that they were back was too much for me because I knew that was the beginning of the nightmare that I have been trying to escape. I loathed them all with extreme passion and my only wish is for the reunion to turn into a total disaster so that the boys can go back to where they came back from.
Most importantly, I hope they never recognize me.

I had hardly stepped into the mansion when someone hurled a cup toward my direction. My heart almost jumped out of my chest as my knees slowly weakened to the ground but I knew that I dare not fall because if I did fall, I was giving her a chance to pounce on me.
"You son of a b***h, where have you been? I have been waiting for you" She screamed at the top of her lungs, not taking her fingers off the piano that she played aggressively.
I swallowed the lump that thickened in my throat and bent slowly while picking up the pieces of glasses on the floor. She eyed me so much that it felt like the ground should give up its content and take me instead.
I knew better than anyone that not giving her a response to her words meant more trouble for me as I gulped on my spittle.
"I was at school, doing homework. The teacher didn't allow me to leave unless I completed my homework!"
The Piano suddenly stopped as she turned to look at me as my heart palpated with fear. She stared daggers at me!
"You b****y liar! You were not seen in school today at all. For lying to me, you wouldn't eat anything this afternoon until you do almost all the chores! You should be glad that I am in a good mood and that's why I am having mercy on you!" She yelled while I reached my hand for the nearest dustbin and I emptied the content in my hands.
"Thanks for having mercy on me" I muttered under my breath as I lowered my head in reverence for her.
She rolled her eyes to the back before fixing her gaze back on me.
"My son, Andre would be back tonight alongside those low lives that were the reason why he left in the first place"
I knew that she was addressing Zachary and Chase as low-lives. Even though they were nearly the same status, she still thought that she was better than everyone.
"Yes Luna, they are the reason why he left" I muttered as she heaved a sigh and stood from the piano's bench while sauntering towards the direction that led to the stairs.
"Good, you are finally using your senses! I want the whole decorations of Andre's room to be changed before he comes back tonight. You know how he loves lavender, make sure that you arrange different vases of lavender by his bedside!" Her eyes lit up in excitement as she giggled to herself.
"Yes, Luna" I muttered and watched as she left before standing to my feet.
I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly before rushing to my room in a bid to get changed as I got to work.
After hours of working till it felt like every part of me was about to give up, I dressed in a white flowery gown that Luna had sent me. It was the same clothes that she got for all the workers so it wasn't anything special.
Guests began to troop in and I was given the task of welcoming the guests alongside others. My stomach kept growling because of how hungry I was but I dared not show my weakness at that moment because if I did, then I was signing for trouble.
All of a sudden, I heard a gasp that echoed through the crowd. It was Zachary and Chase's parents who got down from the car and everyone applauded them while taking pictures of them.
I kept looking over people’s shoulder hoping that Andre, Zachery, and Chase would never come and it looked like my prayers were answered because the three of them weren't in sight.
A faint smile stretched on my lips. "It looks like they haven't settled their differences. That is good for me! I hope that I never see them again"
I could see the look of disappointment on their parent's faces and the crowd’s as well. I could also see how Andre's mum's fingers trembled as she kept searching her eyes for him. Andre's father, the Alpha, wrapped his hands around her waist in a bid to assure her that everything was going to be fine.
The mere sight of it all caused an excited smile to dance on my lips.
"He loves lavender" I mocked when I remembered the excited face of Andre's mum and how she gave me instructions to prepare for her son's homecoming.
Since none of them came, we all made our way inside the door and as I was about to shut the door I heard the revving of cars that suddenly drove into the compound.
It was three different luxurious cars that drove inside. A lot of gasps echoed through the air with everyone curious about who could have driven in. I was also curious as well even though my heart was trying to deny what my mind kept ringing.
Slowly, the door opened and my eyes were almost bulged out of their sockets when I saw the three men who got out of the cars.
"N-No, this can't be" I stuttered as my hands that were on the doorknob dangled helplessly by my side.
I shook my head slowly in disbelief because whatever I was seeing at the moment was bad!
There was no way Andre, Zachary, and Chase were right here at the moment.
