I held my cheek not in disbelief but because I was right, she did exactly what I knew she would.
"Mother I..." She slapped me again then spat in my face.
"You are a disgrace!" My mother Maria Woods burned with fury.
"Bring her to me this instant!" I heard someone bark in a familiar voice, I turned to see an even more furious looking Victoria heading towards me.
Suddenly, she turned into her wolf state and attacked me, her claws attempting to scratch my face while I protected by shielding my face with my arms.
She managed to bite my arms before my family security grabbed her, I held my bleeding flesh "How dare you sleep with my fiance!" She howled with so much pain it made my wound feel better.
"You're trying to ruin my life because yours is such a nightmare is that it?" She growled at me and grabbed a gun from her own security set, and I was sure it was loaded with silver bullets.
"I will kill you! you b*tch!" she spat venomously and fear filled my veins as I ran towards the door in desperation, the security holding her down.
The Uber I managed to book before I tried sneaking out was waiting, before I could reach it my dad appeared.
Disappointment etched his old features "Father." I said shame in my voice.
"Honestly, I blame myself for everything you have become. As my only child I spoiled you, didn't let you do anything, gave you everything you wanted...and now you've ruined your life." he shook his head. "Lady Victoria Caesar will not rest until she has your head today, you have to leave this instant."
"That is not my fault, I don't know who her fiance is. I barely just got back from the human realm to be here!" I said at the top of my voice "How is it my fault? I was even drunk!"
My father frowned even more displeased with the details "You mean you mated with an absolute stranger and let him mark you! and you have no idea who he is? how powerful he is? that he is engaged to another!" he yelled at me which was very rare.
The sound of a gun startled us and I ran towards the car getting in just in time as she burst through the door "Drive now!" I yelled and the driver moved quickly.
Victoria changed to her wolf form chasing us at full speed.
Lucky for me the moon goddess was on my side for the first as the security caught up with her and surrounded her. "Don't ever come back you b*tch! don't worry someone else will inherit your family's title you home wrecker!"
I plugged in my earplugs, she was right I was never coming back...ever.

The sound of Christmas music drifted me back from my memories.
I was currently in my friend Becky's house. It was a few days until Christmas, I was still freaking homeless, couldn't get a job and had to stay at my gay best friend's house.
Honestly, I don't think anybody's life is worse than mine, I groan as Becky kisses June.
The two men are so obsessed with each other they barely notice until I groan even louder.
"Is there a problem Regina?" Becky chuckled, rolling his eyes.
"Yeah? it's Christmas, can we make out in peace." June sneered giving me a nasty look, I know he was sick and tired of my stay in their home.
Who wouldn't be?
I was literally leaching off them, mostly my fault. "I found an apartment and a nice place you could work temporarily if you work on your anger issues?" Becky suddenly blurted out.
Yep, that's how desperate they were to get rid of me. Their four year old son Danny, who was fast asleep on lap , stirred slightly from their noise. I sighed, rising to my feet, "Yeah, that's alright."
"The interview is tomorrow. It's the highest paying night club in the city and they need a bartender, I bet since you're such a drunk. You must be good at mixing drinks right?" Becky asked with enthusiasm as June leaned in to kiss him again.
"She doesn't have a choice babe, I need to be able to bang you right here on this couch with our only worry being waking up the kids." He growled, pulling him close and I rolled my eyes.
Heading up the stairs "No drinking tonight okay Regina?"
I sighed while biting my lip "Sure."
"I need you up and ready by 8am sharp tomorrow." Becky said before June claimed his mouth in a kiss.
As I tucked Danny into bed he suddenly grabbed my arm, his eyes shining like Christmas lights. "Aren't you going to make a wish ?"
"A wish?" I asked as he pulled me to the bed and I gently sat down next to him.
He took out an envelope from his drawer "Here write your wish and put it under the Christmas tree. It says Santa will make all your dreams come true on Christmas."
I chuckled at how excited he was, I took the envelope.
What could I possibly wish for?
That my life wasn't so miserable?
That my family didn't hate me?
That I wasn't such a powerless omega?
That wasn't so poor and depressing?
That I had a hot alpha for Christmas?
I chuckled as I just scribbled, whatever I thought on the paper, anything to make Danny happy.
"I'll put this under the Christmas tree, you go to bed okay?" I said leaving the room.
"I love you aunty Regina." He suddenly yelled out and my whole body froze.
That someone loved me in this world "You're not useless." He continued, "You are the nicest person ever, you are my hero."
My heart swelled so much I could barely breathe "Goodnight, I hope Santa grants your wish with Christmas magic."
I gently closed the door behind me, I couldn't even afford him a present I thought as I slipped my envelope under the Christmas tree.
My determination was set, I must get that job tomorrow.
"You're hired." The tall immaculate woman dressed in an impeccable suit said.
I blinked in confusion "Sorry?"
"You are hired, you start tonight. We need a captivating face and you are just what we need to draw customers at the bar. With a face like that you could be a supermodel." she said it so bluntly like she was saying the walls are white.
"What? Do you have any excuses?"
"No, I just..." I was so shocked, I got the job easily as if the heavens had already shifted to my side. "Thank you so much."
"Good, be here at 6pm sharp." she said
"Sorry, can I stay here till 6pm?" I asked.
She paused then nodded. "Sure you can stay in the staff changing room, by the way this place is owned by the established billionaire of the Alpha family so look your best, wear something that brings out your appearance."
I nodded as she dropped me off at the staff quarters and
I didn't bother going home, I slept in the staff changing room and waited excitedly.
Somehow I slept off the door slamming open woke me up as I saw literally the most beautiful women on earth strut into the room "Hi, are you new?" a gorgeous blonde with boobs as big as my head asked.
Confused, I lifted my gaze from her cleavage "Yeah, good evening."
"Well are you using that outfit to dance?" a beautiful woman with dark skin and full ass asked as she slipped out of her dress.
"Oh I'm not dancing, I'm the bartender." I said.
Their eyes nearly popped their socket "With that face?" a stunning brunette slipping on absurd high heels asked.
"What a waste." a literal barbie with hot pink hair sighed applying lipstick.
"Here put this on." a petite woman with a breath taking face card said handing me an outfit. "It's a bartender uniform, if you ever change your mind and need to rock the pool hit me up. Bet you'd make a ton of cash." She winked.
"And your changing room is next door." a blue haired lady snapped sharply, guess not everyone liked me.
"Thank you." I said politely and hurried to the other changing room.
It was a mini skirt, with fish net tights and a corset top, and a pair of boots, with bunny ears hair band.
I cringed at the outfit but time wasn't on my side, I slipped it on quickly and went to the bar, trying to ignore the stares and whistles.
Normally, considering the corset was about to pop my boobs out of its cups. I took a deep breath as I joined the other bar tenders, three of them male unfortunately. "Hi, I'm Adam." one greeted politely.
I nodded and forced a nervous smile "Hi Regina." I said that we got to work.
The lady who interviewed me earlier appeared looking sharp, her eyes narrowed "What are you wearing?"
"Um the uniform...? one of the dancers gave it to me." I stuttered wondering what I did wrong.
She took a deep controlled breath "Did those girls always need to misbehave, Adam her a proper uniform."
My cheeks realizing what was happening, I was being bullied all over again. I felt sick to my stomach, I didn't know if it's because I hadn't eaten all day but I was feeling very nauseous and was about to have a panic attack.
As soon as he gave me the uniform I snatched it and staggered through the busy club looking for a restroom, everything was loud.
I found a room, lit in red lights. It was huge, I couldn't see much but I just needed to change.
My fingers struggled with the ropes of the corset, I was struggling to breathe gasping for air, then fingers brushed against mine and electricity jolted through my body "Hello there love."
The sound of my pounding heart was as loud as the speakers as held me from passing out, his hold tight on my waist as he loosened my corset to give me air.
"Do you remember me?" his voice was such a deep symbol that shook my core of course I still remember him.
His touch, his mark, his wolf, his length my whole body trembled with the memory of the man that ruined my life as breath filled my lungs and the corset dropped to the floor
His hand wrapped around my neck as he unzipped my skirt, my wolf a desperate little she wolf already panting in need of him.
In need of her mate who I hated.
The feeling of his hands moving between my thighs as his knuckles brushed against my panties nearly made me lose it. "See how badly your body needs me." He chuckled and left me there.
