Stronger Than Most

Chapter two

“Get up you scum!” One of the guards said. As I hear him walking down the hallway jiggling his keys. It’s dark, I can’t tell what time it is. It’s not that I can’t even tell time. I’m in the corner of my cell holding my knees, rocking myself.

I get up quickly before he reaches my cell. If I keep him waiting for even a second, I’ll get beat up. All I have is a piece of cardboard as my bed and a few scraps of clothes that I find in the garbage from the pack that find them useless. This is my room, for as long as I can remember. It's small, a 4x4. It's been my room for as long as I can remember.I quickly got up and met him at the cell door.

I hear the other wolves in their cell. They are rougues that have threatened our pack. “Let’s go scum you know Alpha Nick doesn’t like this stench smell down here” said Beta David. I dare not to look at his face. Anyone’s face that is, because that would definitely be a beating. I walked down the end of the hallway. It’s gloomy and clammy the farther down the hallway I walk.The smell is horrendous, worse than a dead animal. One of the rougues has died. I huff because I know that it is my job to dispose of. I’m not looking forward to that. I get spacked on the back of my head hard and I trip of how hard I just got smacked. I stumbled to make sure I do not fall. Beta David laughs, it resonates against the wall in the hallway. " You damn clumsy! get up and clean this mess before Alpha Nick gets here!"

I hurried and got my things and went ahead to clean the cells, especially the one with the dead rogue. Its okay, this is nothing new to me. I've been doing this for years since as I was a kid. I am done sooner than I thought. I don't want to be on the bad side of the Alpha, my dad. he hates me so much and I don't know why. what makes things better here is my best friend Sharlot. We've been friends since we were little kids. She tries to sneak me food every chance she gets. Even if it's a piece of bread. On a really good day she brings me steak. I smile at the thought of that. She's not flimsy and skinny like me. She is beautiful with soft curly black hair down to her waist and her caramel skin. You can tell she trains hard with the pack. She has tone abs and a chiseled body.

I get to go outside today since the Alpha will be here to handle some work with the rogues that crossed our borders. I leave before I cross path with him. The sun feels so nice on my skin. Oh how I missed feeling the sun on my skin. The smell of fresh air, smells like lilac and roses. I see the pack training so I hide behind some trees before im even noticed. I get called all kinds of names. I feel sad that I could never be part of my pack. Who would want to be a part of it after the way I get treated here from all of them. From the Alpha down to the omegas. The only omega that does not treat me any differently is my other friend, my best friend that I love like a brother Hank. He gets treated bad as well, but not like me. His job is to help in the kitchen with the rest of them.

"Hey Elijah! What you doing back there?" It scares me out of my thoughts that I jump. "Hey Sharlot, how are you doing? long time no see." She has a big smile on her face, full of excitement. "Someone is excited I see. What's the occasion?"
