ZOEY'S POV
"Who gave this b***h the gut to call my name?" Clara yelled at me in anger, her face was swollen, and her eyes were red and bloodshot. She suddenly kicked me in the gut from nowhere, and I rolled down the stairs groaning in pain.
"Tell your mistress I'm going nowhere. You can f*****g go to any pack you want. I'm not coming with you." Clara yelled loudly and the loud slamming of Clara's door was heard immediately.
Before I was given time to breathe, the familiar thick belt of my mistress fell on my skin which made me let out a painful cry.
I heard Veronica laugh loudly, she was clearly enjoying the pain I'm going through but the more she laughed, the harder the belt fell on my skin.
I lay tiredly on the bare floor curling to myself and resigned to the wicked fate.
I couldn't feel any pain, it seems I was numbed to my mistress beating. Everything my mistress said was like the buzzing of bees in my ear.
I was tired, depressed, and hungry; is there anyone who lived a hellish life like this? The thought of everything I was passing through brought tears to my eyes.
My eyes sting due to unshed tears. Why is it that whenever I tried to accommodate this and believed that things would change for the better, fate would plan something more wicked for me? Why me? Why me!!!
Tears began to stream down my eyes upon thinking about all I had done. I tried to do my best, I was the best at cleaning in order to satisfy my mistress. Even if she hated me for all that happened to her in the past, shouldn't the grudge be over by now?
I didn't care about the pain my mistress was inflicting on me. After all, I was numbed to it and the pain I'm currently feeling was a raw heartache.
"Alright. It's enough, we have a party to attend. I hate lateness." Alpha Blake finally said after what felt like years.
Is this what was called concern? This family is really shameless. I'd been going through this for a while in their presence, but they all went silent and the one who wasn't silent was laughing at my misery. Is this fair?
Moon goddess, why do I have to go through this? How many sins did I accumulate in my past life to be bestowed with this much pain? My heart ached and I let out a painful gasp
My mistress suddenly stepped on my palm with her 4-inch heel which made me gasp loudly in pain.
"Clean that mess up and meet us in the park in less than five minutes." She spat out with venom before she turned away but not before spitting out. "Useless wrench. Good for nothing. Incapable of anything useful." She muttered and walked toward the door.
I gasped and tried to sit up, but I wasn't able to muster any strength.
Suddenly, my hair was pulled from behind which made me cry. "You haven't stood up yet? Is this your show-off rebel..." My mistress immediately landed a hot slap on my face.
My lips were quivering, and I tried to defend myself that I never did, "No... I didn't..."
But before I could finish my words, Mistress fisted my hair tightly, and I could feel her claw piercing my scalp. She pulled my face closer, and I saw fire and a loathing feeling which made my heart sink.
Mistress hates me so much. After all, I was just the useless daughter that ruined her beautiful life. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I was in the wrong. I couldn't pay my mistress for all the pain she went through no matter how I tried.
"I know that you're starting to get useless for me... You're protesting, right? You feel that it's unfair, right?" Mistress dragged me out of the house painfully.
I screamed in pain. "I'm sorry... I didn't. Please. I won't anymore."
"It's enough, we've been waiting for long." Alpha Blake said coldly which made me sigh in relief.
My mistress glared at me, but she immediately sat beside Alpha Blake.
I stood up with a painful gasp; the pain was coursing through me, but I bit my lips hard in order not to make any noise.
The car we are boarding to the green pack is a 6-passenger seater coupled with the driver and the co-driver, it's a total of eight.
The interior was soft and luxurious. Two chairs were arranged in the first row behind the driver, which was where Alpha Blake and my mistress were sitting.
Behind the two seats were a joint four seats which were where Veronica, Ethan, and I would be sitting. Just kill me.
I didn't let out a sound and I immediately sat beside the right side window.
Ethan was sitting beside the left side window while Veronica was sitting in between us. Veronica's expression turned furious immediately after she saw me sitting on the chair.
"Who gave this..."
"Don't cause trouble. My head aches." Ethan suddenly interrupted Veronica's sentence with a painful frown. His right hand was massaging his forehead.
I was a little bit confused and surprised at the same time, 'did Ethan just stand for me?' I wondered and turned to look at him. We both exchanged glances at that minute and he looked calm.
Perhaps, Ethan stood up for me but why? Why is he doing this? What are his aims?
But the pain coursing through my body won't give me time to muse on that weird topic.
Veronica climbed on Ethan's lap and wrapped her hand around his neck. She purred and began to nuzzle his neck. "Baby, what's wrong with you?" She muttered in a soft voice which sent a bolt of disgust coursing through me that I almost threw up.
'So fake. What does Ethan see in this fake b***h anyway? She's the real definition of artificial, nothing is natural about her. Even her voice is fake!' Rain muttered and I silently agreed with her words. What the hell was that tiny voice I just listened to?
I ignored them and closed my eyes, choosing to sleep and regain a bit of my strength.
I don't know about Green pack and I can't assume if this place will be good for me or not but one thing I discovered now is that Veronica and Ethan are disgusting.
