Rescuing The Alpha's Clan

CHAPTER 1

The manipulation.

"Hey, slave. What are you doing there? Get your ugly-looking self down here immediately!”

We need to go see the Alpha at this moment. One of his staff showed up yesterday and invited us over for a special assignment.

We need the money to survive,” Kelly Parker roared at his stepdaughter, Fiona, who had just completed most of the house chores, despite retiring to sleep the previous night in starvation.

He despised Fiona and treated her like a piece of trash. Nothing about her ever mattered to him anymore. Living with Kelly was hell for her.

Life was completely meaningless for her. Every day, she wishes to just take her life and end the everlasting torment.

"I was home the whole day yesterday and no one showed up.

What time was that? I could have missed that part," Fiona protested and questioned the ingenuity of her stepfather's claims.

She was home all day yesterday and could swear no one showed up.

Somehow, Fiona feels Kelly Parker might be telling a lie and up to no good.

"You're in no position to argue with me. Would I tell you a lie? I know what I'm talking about.

Go get dressed.

You can't be seen like this near the Alpha looking wretched and unkempt." Kelly Parker clapped back to instill fear inside her.

"I don't intend to argue with you. Even if you're right on this one.

Can you wait until I'm done with the house chores? I'm not done yet, Father. Remember, you instructed me to finish up before 10:30 a.m.

The Alpha's quarters are a long distance. I might collapse before we arrive there.

Can I please get something to eat? I'm starving.” Fiona pleaded as she frowned her face.

Her once fat neck had suddenly become thin as her skin was gradually fading away like the evening sun. She's just a teenager, yet looks older than her age.

"Damn you, Fiona!”

I'm not your father. Don't call me that and stop arguing with me. One more word from you and I'll feed your remains to the vultures.

Stop calling me your father.

We are not related in any way. Don't you dare question my authority next time! When I talk, you listen. You'll go inside, have your bath, get dressed and come with me.

Is that understood?

I don't want to repeat myself," he forcefully grabbed Fiona by the arm, almost hurting her.

He doesn't give a f**k if she perishes in starvation. He was only concerned about the 30 thousand dollars he intended to receive from Durella after selling Fiona off.

"Yes, sir!"

Fiona obeyed and dashed back inside to freshen up. In a few minutes, she was outside looking slightly better than the last time. Even though she looked skinny, malnourished, and pale.

"This is what I'm talking about. You look more human now. Get in the front where I can see you.

I don't trust you a bit.

You might run off in a blink of an eye," he s*****d Fiona's head and pushed her to the front.

"I haven't been to the Alpha's quarter before. How do I possibly lead the way?

We might get lost. I suggest you stay in front while I follow," Going against his command, she frowned and folded her hand.

Kelly Parker was speechless. The sun was gradually setting in. Aware of the vow he made to Durella the previous day, Kelly Parker didn't argue or drag words with her. He simply pointed to the front and spoke in a soft tone.

"Lead the way." Immediately, she obeyed, as though she were controlled like a robot.

Halfway through Alpha's quarters, Fiona got exhausted and pleaded for them to return home. She immediately fell to the ground and cried out.

“I'm thirsty. Please get me water. I might die of starvation. Please, help me. “

"Stop being lazy like a tortoise and walk like a human. You are dragging us back.

The Alpha's quarter is just a stone's throw. Get up and walk. We've come a long way to quit now.

Come on, you can do it. We can't afford to miss this opportunity. Poverty is scrubbing our faces in the mud.

Remember the Alpha doesn't like being kept waiting," Kelly commanded.

"No, I can't. I don't care how the Alpha feels right now. I need to rest a bit. I'm so exhausted right now. I can't do this anymore.

Do you wish me dead?” Fiona refused and remained on the ground.

"Okay, fine. You win. I'm not even arguing with you at this minute.

You've got less than five minutes to rest. I believe that should be enough to regain your lost strength.” For the very first time, he agreed to do it her way.

She has never, for once, disobeyed his orders. After a few minutes of relaxation, Kelly Parker stretches his hand.

“It's time. Be on your feet,”

"Wait a minute.

Why are you so interested in meeting the Alpha? You look so excited and desperate. Is there something you are not telling me? What are you up to?" She raised the doubt.

"The Alpha invited us to work for him. We both know how important this money is to us. Enough of the questions already.

Would you get up and continue this journey with me? The sun is gradually setting out," yet again, he brainwashed Fiona.

She frowned her face and stood up from the ground as they proceeded with the journey. She couldn't detect his lies and pretenses.

"Here we are.

Stay right here and get the rest you can. I'll just go inside and notify the Alpha of our presence,” he instructed as he gestured to Durella's room and announced his presence.

Finally! Someone fulfilled his promise. Thought you'd never show up.
