Mistress of Destiny

After the great war of 3150, nothing was the same. People who previously poisoned the planet were murdered by children of nature: vampires, werewolves, people-birds, or otherwise sorcerers, nymphs, harps, gnomes, kelpies, centaurs, and even dragons. The planet was returned to the old order. The big, smoky and full of smog cities disappeared, and in exchange for them grew forests larger and more powerful than the rainforests. Vampires and Werewolves, as the most numerous, divided the territory in half and took power, degrading the rest of the beings to the role of animals and depriving them of all rights. For many years, on the two "thrones of skulls", which were in fact great mountains made of bones fallen on which the castles were built, ruled the vampire king - Vincent, and Alpha Unua Guide, followed by his successors. However, not everything was going as they wanted ... On the side of the werewolves, separate, smaller packs began to grow, weakening each other, and the oppressed and vengeful beings of another origin began to rise in anger, seeing their chance in the weakness of the werewolves. The first rebellions of others, however, were successfully repulsed, and they hid for many hundreds of years. And this is how our world was created, full of borders and divisions, ruled by the Alphas, the strongest Beta in the herd, and the more influential ones belonging to the so-called elite. If Beta is to be born, Alpha can be stayed, whether by inheritance or by killing the previous alpha. There are also cases in which the beta disconnects from the pack to start one on its own. Bets are strong and fast, have high resistance to pain and heal quickly. They are also well-built and above-average handsome. However, they are not the only ones, apart from them there are also Gammas, the most similar to people in physical terms. They are quite weak and they do not stand out in a human form, but they have the ability to change like all other wolves. The last type of werewolves are Omegas - a respected, though quite controversial, class. They live as if outside the herd, creating their own small society. They are small and weak like Gammas, but they are distinguished by their unprecedented speed and agility. They usually become spies or politicians who advise alphas in a herd. It also happened that after Alpha's death, Omega temporarily took his place. They also do not have to listen to the leader, even when he uses his "alpha voice". I used to be proud that I was born one of them ... Once, when everything was different, brighter. My name is Riley Domina, I am the only daughter of the strongest alpha on this side of the planet, and consequently also in the world. Well, at least I was her until four years ago, a foreign pack allied with two others. They did intrude unexpectedly into our area and cut men, women and children in her sleep. Of course, not everyone, but those who managed to survive gone thru worse hell. Men were mutilated, depriving them of the ability to beget their offspring and cut off their tongues, women were made cleaners and hookers of no value, while children were considered "useless" and Alpha himself with sick pleasure bade them in the forest and left for certain death. That's how I got to the main house of Beta, who destroyed my life. And what happened to my family? Well, my father was killed in front of me when I talked to him in his office on that unlucky night, but I could not find my mother and brothers, neither then nor ever again. I assumed they were dead, but not for the fact that I have any evidence for it, it's just easier for me. I will not wait for a rescue that will never come, I have long lost all hope and put one goal in front of me - to survive. Probably because of this I managed to get this far. Of the 25 women brought here four years ago, only me and Shanon, a quiet girl with a beautiful face, which Marcus, our employer, particularly liked, survived. The girl is safe until Beta will find a mate. Who knows what awaits her then? I sighed and took my hands out of the bucket of water and dirty sheets. The weather is not very favorable, considering that we have an early spring, and my soggy and fossilized hands began to significantly impede my work, not to mention that they hurt like hell. I began to stretch and flex my fingers to warm them up a bit and noticed Dorothea running out of the infirmary, another of the maids on the estate. The woman wept wistfully, rubbing her shoulders. She looked as if she was about to faint or even die, and the bones in her hands on the change broke and grew back, taking on various stages of transformation into wolf paws. It was a terrible sight, but I knew it was not the end for her. It was the initial phase of the elixir's operation preventing us from finding mate. After all, who would want to get involved with miserable Gamma, right? It does not matter that I wasn't one of them, because if I could allow them to believe in it, I did not take on the alpha's anger, which did not tolerate any insubordination. And Omega just preached it, didn't it? Dorothea disappeared from my sight, sheltering herself in a wooden, leaky hut serving as the house to all servants. Fortunately, the poor woman did not have to work today, our superiors were not such monsters. I can not imagine working when your entire body breaks and grows at an alarming rate, at least ten times a minute, fighting a maddened wolf who does not want to be dormant again. Because in the end this potion is used for this.He puts a wolf in us to sleep and makes it impossible to instill in someone, to become pregnant or even change. It makes us vulnerable and easy to harness. Apparently, men are also served, but I do not know this one hundred percent because they work mainly in mines, and occasionally serve as cannon fodder on wars. By the way, I should also take this disgusting mixture soon, because the last time I took it less than a month ago, and more or less it works this long. With a sigh, I returned to the laundry, ignoring the screams coming from a nearby wooden house and the pain. I wanted to hate the beta and his co-workers who abuse and humiliate us, but with every such thought I knew that it was not their fault as a last resort. They did not order us to work, they did not give us the name of whores, and they did not order us to drink this filth on a monthly basis. All this was the fault of our alpha, exactly the one who murdered my father and the one who brought me here. That's who I was supposed to hate for the rest of my days. But I was too tired, too exhausted and too humble to be able to do it. With all my heart I would like to say that I remained strong and rebelled at every step, but that would be a lie. They broke me after the first year here, they took everything - body, soul, purity and free will. I became a slave, a weak woman, devoid of a wolf. I did not shout, I did not cry and did not ask questions. I became the perfect puppet that you can use and put away in a corner. And unfortunately I was not the only one. Sooner or later? It doesn't matter, cause each of us ended up this way. ______________________________ I'm truly sorry for every mistake I made.
