Angel

Chapter 1

A small frame woke with a kick to her stomach, she winced but hide her pain as she heard her brother’s voice “get up brat, the pack is hungry” she silently nodded and quickly stood up, no time to shower the girl quickly darted from her sleeping space which was really a small storage cupboard under the stairs that lead to the kitchen, it wasn’t even big enough for a mattress so she slept on the hard cold stone floor without even a blanket to keep her warm.

Walking to the stove she pushed her long hair over her shoulder and quickly turned on the hot plates moving some pots around she started to fry some eggs, she had to cook for the whole pack so she had several pans on cooking when a girl walked in and huffed before storming over and knocking her into one of the pans causing her to burn her hand on the hotplate she let out a squeal of pain before the girl looked at her and pushed her to the floor “you really need to be more careful mutt!” of course Clarissa was allowed to speak like that she was the alpha’s sister and higher up then herself… suddenly Clarissa kicked her while she was on the floor “Angel…. You don’t deserve such a name you worthless piece of s**t…” the girl in question ‘angel’ whimpered softly before she quickly stood up and went right back to her place at the stove, finishing off the eggs she quickly piled them onto serving plates and carried them one by one over to the massive table.

Just at the right moment too because the rest of the pack came in and Angel instantly went and stood in the corner trying not to catch the attention of anybody in the pack, Angel had to stay till they all finished eating and she herself wasn’t allowed to eat until everyone else had, if there was anything left if not then she would just have to wait until the next meal. Of course, they didn’t want the girl to die so if at the end of the day she had not eaten then she was permitted to eat some bread, plain bread nothing on it, such a strict diet had left the girl thin and fragile but she knew better then to complain and risk another beating…

Waiting silently she watched the pack eat and overheard some of there talking "the full moon tonight where all the packs will be, anybody who is eighteen will need to attend the ceremony no exceptions" the alpha looked up at her as he said that "Yes Angel we know it was your birthday yesterday, you must attend as well" looking up from her spot in the corner she flinched, the first full moon after a wolves eighteenth birthday is when they get their wolf, and for some, their mate.. she had hoped nobody would realize it was her birthday, the idea of turning in front f the pack was scary enough but she already knew that if she had a mate he wouldn't want her, she was nothing but a servent... lower then even the lowest-ranked wolf... she whimpered softly and nodded before her soft voice replied "Yes Alpha" the look she got from him showed he did not want her at the ceremony any more than she wanted to be there but with all the other packs in attendancy excluding a wolf from the ceremony was grounds for a pack to be ejected from the council and of course Alpha Luke didnt want his pack left out there without the others to defend his pack from the rogues.

After they finished eating Angel went to the table and quickly cleared away all the plates humming softly as she picked up the dishes and took them over to the sink washing and crying them before she went to her little cupboard and picked up some clothes, of course, she wasn't allowed to use the same bathroom like the rest of the pack so she snuck off and went to a small spring she had found many years ago. removing all of her clothing she sunk into the water, it was warm because it was a hot spring and the waters were kept warm due to geothermal heath also known as heat from the Earth's interior, she didn't much care what made the water warm she was just thankful that she didn't have to bath in cold water.
