I wake up and my eyes burn. I feel like s**t. I’m still in my dress from last night. I look over at the alarm clock and see it’s 6:00 A.M.
“s**t!!” I was supposed to be up an hour ago. I quickly change into an old pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. I put my hair in a ponytail and look in the mirror. I look awful. My eyes are bloodshot and they look dead. My face is extremely pale. 3 hours of sleep will do that to you.
I run downstairs and see Landon, William, Taylor, Jack, and 2 other members. I don't remember their names and Hunter. “Listen b***h, you better not be late again. The Alpha was waiting for his food.” I look over to Hunter. He has a blank face. I feel a pang of pain when I remember he had s*x with someone. I look down and mutter, “ Forgive me, Alpha. I didn’t sleep much.”
“He doesn’t care. Just because you were up f*****g some desperate man doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be here on time!” I hear Taylor’s nasal voice. I hear a growl and look up to see Hunter with an angry look on his face. “That’s why you're late? You were out f*****g someone?” Hypocrite… “He’s jealous!” my wolf exclaims. “Don’t be ridiculous. He’s probably just really hungry,” I mutter back.
“No, sir. I was cleaning.” I go into the kitchen and begin cooking. An hour later, I’m finishing making the last of the bacon when Jack, Taylor, William, Landon, Hunter, and Josh (another pack member) comes in. “s**t, I want more bacon,” Taylor commands. I don’t respond. I simply keep working. “Alexa, didn’t you hear Taylor you b***h?” Jack says.
I turn towards Taylor “I’m sorry. You said ‘s**t’ so I assumed you were talking to yourself.” I smile and c**k my head to the side. I grab a piece and put it on her plate. Her nostrils flare and he puts her hand in a fist. “You b***h! Take that back!” I raise my eyebrows in fake confusion. “Okay…” I grab the piece of bacon off her plate. Don’t be stupid. Oh, wait you’re already stupid, fat, ugly, and worthless. You'll probably be rejected by your mate as soon as he sees you. You fat cow!”
Hearing her say the thing about my mate makes my heart clench. I look at Hunter and he is just staring at Taylor. “I, however, am going to be luna.” She walks over to Hunter and kisses him. The worst part: he kissed her back. “We discussed it last night after our rounds of fun. Oh and never mind about the bacon. You’re a horrible cook. I’m surprised we still allow you to cook here.”
I feel anger and pain light within me like a blazing fire. “Well, then you cook, you s**t. I’m surprised you’re not pregnant yet. Oh, and when you find your mate, he is probably going to reject you! Because no one wants a w***e for a mate. Maybe you should learn to close your mouth because you open that up almost as much as you do your legs. No one wants you as luna. The pack will be known for having STDs.” I screech.
Taylor gasps and then smacks me hard across the face. She reopens the cut on my face from where Hunter hit me yesterday. I punch her in the face, giving her a b****y nose before Jack comes up and throws me against the fridge hitting my back hard against the handle. I scream and fall. Josh then comes up and punches me. Landon comes up and stares at me. I pleaded with my eyes at him before he kicked me in the ribs. I cry out. They are all hitting me and I curl into a ball to try and shield myself. I look up to Hunter. He just watched with wide eyes.
“Help me..” I mouth to him. He narrows his eyes at me before walking out. “Let’s give this b***h what she deserves!” Taylor yells before grabbing the very very very hot pan I used to make bacon and pouring the extremely hot grease all over my left arm. I scream body murder as it burns my skin. “No! Please, someone, help me please!” I cry out and begin to sob. I feel myself being lifted up. I fight as I realize it’s Josh, Jack, and Landon grabbing me while Taylor stands behind me and watches them.
I realize that they are headed toward the river. I fight with all my might, but it’s no use. “Stop!!” I screech. As we reach the river, Taylor grips my arm which got burned tightly. I scream again and sob. “This will teach you! Keep your mouth shut if you don’t want this to happen again.” They throw me into the water and water goes up my nose. I come up for air to see all of them laughing at me except Landon. With my arm, I can’t swim very well.
I keep falling into the deep water. I reach my hand out to try to get out. The only good thing is it is cooling off my arm. I reach my hand out to my brother. “Landon! Landon! Help me, please! I can’t swim with my arm. Please, Landon! It wasn’t me I swear! The rogues did it. Please, please, Landon!” His eyes soften before they harden again and they all walk away. I fall into the water more and the once-small waves are getting bigger and bigger knocking me farther away from them. “Landon! What would mom and dad say if they saw what you did!” I see his back stiffen at my words before he grabs a rock and throws it at me. It hits me on the head hard. I fall under the water and pull myself back up gasping for air. I reach up with my good hand and feel blood.
Suddenly, black spots start appearing. “LANDON” I scream. My vision is blurry and I barely see them walk away. Maybe this is it. This is how I am meant to die. This is the end of Alexa Mason. No one cares enough to help me anyway. “Hunter.’ is the word I can mumble out before I fall deep, deep into the water and then everything turns black.
