Alpha Hyman

Chapter 1: Darlene’s Life

All of a sudden, he walked up to me and held my chin. Our eyes locked as he annoyingly muttered, "Go get breakfast ready and make sure you don’t make one for yourself." Then, he let go of me with great force as I stumbled away. He didn’t throw me another glance as he turned his back away from the kitchen.

‘What did I do to deserve this?’ I asked myself as I began making breakfast for most pack members.

I made waffles, cooked eggs, pancakes, and crispy bacon. Since I’ve been doing this for seven years now, I finished in no less than ten minutes.

They would order me to get their drinks and they would smack it out of my hands and make me clean it up or they would throw food on me if it wasn't to their liking.

Secretly, I took an extra piece of bacon for myself and hid it under a towel. After that, I brought all the food to the grand dining room, where the Alpha and his Luna waited.

Upon setting everything up, I stood by the side with a grumbling stomach. When they were still alive, my parents would always make me peanut butter and seed-free raspberry sandwiches for breakfast.

They would even cut into four squares with the side of my favorite orange juice. Thinking about that made me smile a little and comforted my empty tummy.

When the Alpha and the rest of the pack members finished eating, they began to chat and the Luna suddenly called me over to her seat. The Luna was very beautiful and I couldn't help but admire her beauty.

"Darlene, here is your list of chores for today," she says, handing me a sheet of paper. I nodded at her and took the paper.

I stood on the side again as I read it. The list was extensive and I guessed I would work far into the night as usual. She wanted me to clean the kitchen, clean the rooms, sweep the mansion floors, dust the ceiling, and the list goes on and on.

I was the weakest of the pack and the lowest on the food chain, my options were limited.

About an hour later, I started my chores. But first, I ate the piece of bacon that I hid for myself. It wasn’t enough to fill me, but it was good regardless.

The first thing I did was clean the kitchen. And then, I came over to twenty rooms and cleaned up there. I basically followed everything on the list with ease until I came to clean the patio.

I didn’t know why, but there were silver figurines in this area, and silver is basically poison for us werewolves. Nobody could touch these because silver could burn our skin, but the Luna would always ask me to polish them and such.

After putting on a pair of heavy-duty gloves, I began to polish it anyway. It still hurt a little, but it was better than touching the figurines with my bare palm.

It was already six in the afternoon when I finished doing everything on that list. I hadn’t even rested for a little bit when I heard Luna Isabelle calling me though.

She let out a deep growl pick me up by my hair and slapped me across the face and yelled" You good for nothing orphan slave! You ruined my figurines!"

I looked at one of the figurines she was holding, part of its silver had come off due to the rub. I felt so restless as my heart beat heavily.

Her stare made me take a step back in fear. Before I could finish explaining, I touched my stinging cheek as blood spit out of my mouth."I am sorry, Luna..."

"Darlene, please bring out our finest dishware because we have visitors for tonight. They’re elders, so make sure you bring out appropriate ones. Okay?" Alpha Ken said as he descended the stairs.

"Yes, Alpha…” I answered with a bow and the Luna came inside her room. You might think Alpha Ken treated me well as he helped me out of a jam, then you were wrong. The man didn't miss a chance to flirt or touch my boobs when the luna was not looking.

His huge hands swept over my body, cupping my breasts and squeezing them over my apron before releasing them to rub down my flat stomach to my full hips.

"Please don't do this..." I mutter, but his anger seized, and he grabbed my chin to make me turn toward him.

"Are you complaining, huh, Omega?!" he hissed and tightened his grip, his hand still caressing my hips. I pursed my lips and shook my head in defeat.

"Good to know," he whispered beside my ears and leaned over my neck. The next thing I knew, he was sucking my soft skin and leaving maroon marks over me. I whimper every time I felt his tongue hovering around. The slaver he left trailed down my cleavage, and I was so ready to sob fully. Gladly, he pulled away before going to second base. "Do your job well and don't run your mouth to anyone, or I will kill you after I f**k you. Understand?"

I felt my throat constrict, but I gulped the ball of nervousness taking over me. "Yes, Alpha Ken..." I answered, and he slapped my butt before walking away. I shuddered when I was left alone, but as usual, I didn't dwell on the thought and just did my job as their slave.

After that, I began to cook the requested medium-rare steak for everyone. I paired it with the right sauce and presentable side dishes. While I was still cooking to my heart’s content, my tears dribbled down my face. When will I ever get out of here?

I was standing in the foyer while waiting for our guests. For the first time this month, I was dressed nicely because of the Alpha’s orders. I’m sporting a blue dress and I braided my chocolate hair to keep it out of my face on this windy night.

About thirty minutes later, the elder guests arrived. It was Elder Menardo and his Luna, Elder Sandra. Elder Menardo is an old man. His hair was thin and graying and his eyes were crinkled around the edges. On the other hand, Elder Sandra was old but she was still youthful.

"Good evening, Elder Menardo and Elder Sandra. I am Darlene. Please, follow me to the dining area."

I lead them into the dining room and before entering, I announced to the waiting couple, "Alpha Elder Menardo and Elder Sandra have arrived."

The door opened and we could see Alpha Ken and Luna Isabelle standing there. Alpha Ken immediately greeted his guests, and so did Luna Isabelle. Meanwhile, I came back to the kitchen to serve their meals. I carried the heavy plates and put them on a trolley. When I was about to come back, I noticed that the door wasn’t closed all the way. I was about to knock, but then, I heard Elder Menardo say, "So, is that the girl from the prophecy?"

Then, Alpha Ken answered, "Yes. She is useless, but she is the one."

I paused. Is the prophecy pertaining to me?

As I dwelled in my thoughts, I suddenly heard footsteps running towards me from the hall, and before I could react, the door swung open. I was face-to-face with Alpha Ken.

Shit, he figured out that I was eavesdropping!

"Elder Menardo, we can continue discussing matters for another day. I have to deal with a particular pest," Alpha Ken growled, and I could almost feel my heart dropping to my stomach. I knew what his gaze meant. He would bring me to the basement and torture me again.

Alpha Ken dragged me down the basement stairs by my hair the moment his guests left.

"Alpha Ken, I'm sorry I didn't mean to e—eavesdrop! Please forgive me!" I begged with my emerald eyes gleaming in tears.

"No, you were eavesdropping on my conversation with Elder Menardo. You will be punished!" In the corner of the room, there was a rod with chains scattered on the floor. Using immense force, he chained me up with my head facing the wall. In my peripheral vision, I saw Alpha Ken pick up a whip.

"You will be punished for what you did," he growls and raises the whip. Then, Alpha Ken kept whipping me until my back turned bloody red. I groaned every time and sobbed louder and louder. "What did you hear?!" Alpha Ken yelled after every hit.

"Nothing… I didn't hear anything," I sobbed. I know I shouldn't be lying to him, but if I said the truth, it would only make things worse.

"I’m going to ask you one more time, you trash. What did you hear?" Alpha Ken paused.
