The Ancient Packs Bride

Episode 3

Walking over to the young man to take the bags he dodged and placed them on the counter, raising an eyebrow I questioned "who are you?" He turned round smirking at me "I'm a guest, I was invited although my father coming tomorrow, I wanted to come a day early" bowing my head "I'm sorry that was rude of me, if you would like to follow me I will show you to the Alpha's office" he nodded. Looking over to Gloria I stated “I will be back in a moment to start lunch, please relax" she smiled as she nodded but I knew she wasn't going to stay still, leaving the kitchen I walked up the stairs guiding the guest to the office door. Knocking on the door, I waited for a response "WHAT DO YOU WANT BRAT?".

Lowering my head taking a deep breath I spoke with confidence "I'm sorry to disturb you Alpha but you have a guest" the door swung open only to see my father glaring at me before making eye contact with the man behind me. My father's eyes shot open in shock "thank you my dear, run along" I frowned at him before bowing and taking my leave back to the kitchen. Entering the kitchen only to witness Gloria preparing the food on her own, I chuckled before going over to help her "you just couldn't help yourself" she smirked as she giggled out "of course not, you know me too well my dear" sighing at her nickname for me she asked "what's wrong deary?" Looking out the window "well, my father just thanked me and called me my dear".

Gloria frowned at me before laughing out "that's a good joke Eliza" the seriousness on my face stayed and Gloria's face paled "he hasn't spoken to you like that since before your ceremony" I nodded as she spat "that young man must be important for your father to put up a front" I nodded again. Without knowing my life was already changing, I turned up the radio and memories by maroon 5 started to play. As I was singing and dancing through the kitchen preparing the food I didn't notice a pair of keen eyes watching my every move, turning round I flinched dropping cutlery on the floor, meeting the young man from earlier "oh my god, you scared me" he stepped closer "I'm so sorry, here let me help you".

Crouching down as I stated "no it's okay you’re a guest, the food will be out soon if you'd like to wait in the hall" but he ignored my statement and helped me pick up the cutlery. Bowing my head "thank you" turning round I heard a low growl as he spat "please stop bowing to me" placing the cutlery down I smiled "I'm sorry I can't it's a sign of respect and by the presence you hold your either an Alpha or future Alpha" he sighed "you can tell?" I nodded as I stated "you hold so much power, you probably don't know it but the fact you made the Alpha speak to me nicely as well that's an achievement" I chuckled but I don't think he found it funny, I continued to prepare the lunch while the young man sat on a stool watch me move round the kitchen.

Ignoring the stares, I was receiving I continued when he asked "is that your natural hair and eye colour?" I grumbled out "yes why?" I heard a husky chuckle, as I spun round to say something he held his hands up in defeat "I'm sorry, it's just very rare but it suits you" I felt my cheeks heat up so I spun back round to avoid looking at him. Taking deep breaths, I apologised "I'm so sorry, I didn't introduce myself that was rude of me, my name is Eliza, Eliza Jones" he raised an eyebrow "same last name as the Alpha and Luna" I flinched "coincidence" he didn't question it any further as he introduced himself "Ollie, Ollie Miles" he shook my hand as I turned back round before stating "okay Mr Miles, could you please go into the hall and wait for lunch I will bring it out in a moment".

Not turning round to check if he had left I continued to dish up the food until Gloria suggested "if you take the plates out I will dish up" I nodded as I started to place the plates down when the pack started to take their seats. Quickly everything was done and everyone was served before I could walk back out my father asked "Eliza won't you sit with us?" everyone stopped eating as I stood frozen to the spot not wanting to look at anyone "it's okay Alpha, I have to clean the kitchen thank you for the offer" I bowed and ran out of the room as quickly as possible. Reaching the kitchen my heart was racing before I knew it the door slammed open for me to see my father red with rage as he spat "You Stupid Girl, You Dare Embarrass Me In Front Of Our Guest".

Shaking my head "no father i didn't mean to" he pushed me into the wall with so much force I heard a c***k. Falling to the floor hissing out in pain holding my ribs as he started to kick me all over before I felt like I was going to black out, he stopped and spat out "maybe that will teach you a lesson" I sobbed as I tried to pull my body up off the floor only to collapse in pain. I stayed in one spot sobbing my heart out until the door opened only for a concerned voice to reach my ears "Eliza what happened my dear?" It was Gloria, she sat next to me only for me to cry even more. She tried to help me up but it didn't work, she left me to go get help and all I could think was no one would help the likes of me but to my surprise Ollie walked through the door glaring at the mess I was in.

Trying to move away but it didn't work he picked me up easily as he turned to take me to a doctor Gloria stopped him "no one will treat her, bring her in here" she opened the door to my bedroom and I could see his face pale at the sight. He turned around as he spat "I'm not leaving her in there, where is her room?" Gloria pointed back into the room and we both could see him becoming angrier by the second, he began to walk up the stairs until we reached the guest bedroom. I tried to wiggle free, I'd surely be punished if my parents caught me in here. Ollie growled at me lowly making me stop moving, he opened the door and placed me down on the clean sheets without meaning to I hissed at the contact with the bed.

Laying down I didn't have the strength to get up and leave, curling up into a ball I could see that Gloria had followed Ollie. Tears started to fall down my cheeks as every breath hurt like a thousand knifes, Ollie walked back from the bathroom with a first aid kit before trying to lift up my top to see the extent of my injuries. Grabbing his wrist, I whispered out "don't" he smiled at me before kissing my head and turning to Gloria “she trusts you; can you treat her wounds while I go in the shower?" Gloria nodded and Ollie left the room. Gloria lifted up my top to the point my bra wasn't on show she gasped at the sight "Eliza I knew you had a small waist but this is ridiculous, there are so many bruises now" shaking my head "my waist has always been like this no matter what but the bruises will heal".
