Chapter 1

Sienna Cold makes me shiver. It’s not due to the cold outside. No, I can’t feel that because of my nature as a werewolf. It’s the cold inside my heart. The cold of dread, of anticipation, and of agony. “ It can’t be that bad, Si. ” Eliana clutches my hands between her small ones, in a gesture to assure me everything is fine. But, I know it’s not. Our father has invited people from one of the strongest packs at our packhouse today. They are Lycans and they are here to buy me or my sister as breeders because of our nature as omegas. I know what happens to Breeders in our world. Lycans use them for their pleasure and make them bear their strong Lycan children. It's done because only 1 out of 10 Lycans find their mates and it's rare. So, they go for getting breeders to continue their line. After they are done, the omega breeders are put to death so the children don’t get attached to their weak mothers. I can’t stomach the thought of this happening to me at the age of twenty or to my younger sister Eliana at the age of eighteen. We are too young. It’s not our fault that we are born as omegas. It’s not our fault that Moon Goddess decided to dump us to the lowest level of the food chain in the werewolf community where...First comes, the Lycans, then Alpha, then Beta, then Gamma, then warriors, then patrol guards, and then there is us, omegas. Completely at the mercy of all of the above. The people at the top of the chain exploit us at the bottom of it. No one objects to it. Worse, the fathers of omegas sell them to the Lycans and they feel pride in it. How sick can this get? The door to our room opens and Brianna walks inside. She is our eldest sister and the only one who inherited the genes of our Alpha father. She is an Alpha like him. She inherited the beauty of our mother too. With her long wavy black hair and green eyes, she is the most beautiful out of us three. But she is exceptionally cruel. “ Eliana. ” She calls our younger sister. Eliana's hands tremble in mine. My heart lodges into my throat. I tighten my grip on her hands, refusing to let her go. “ It’s me. I knew they would choose me. I am the elder one. ” I mumble, starting to get up. “ It’s not you, Sienna. They chose Eliana. Your tales of stubbornness are so famous that no Lycan wants to choose you. They need Eliana because she is a sweet obedient girl unlike you. ” She informs us with a twisted smile on her lips. My heart sinks. My palms sweat in Eliana’s hands. I can feel the energy draining from my body. “ No, Brianna. She is too young. She just turned eighteen. ” I whisper, terrified to even think about all the things Lycans are famous for, happening to my sister. “ That makes her desirable. She is innocent and fertile. ” Our eldest sister just shrugs her shoulders, refusing to feel pity for the youngest. Eliana sobs beside me. I know she is scared. She has dreams. She wants to be a singer and she is so good at it. If any one of us can make it in this world and come out on top, it’s her. “ No. Eliana won’t go. ” I shake my head. “ That’s not up to you, Sienna. Dad took the money for her already. The Lycans are waiting for her downstairs. They have to leave. Let her go. ” Sienna storms to us when I refuse to let my sister go. “ No! ” I shrieked, getting up and standing in front of my innocent sister. I will protect her as the elder sister. I have to. Just like I shielded her from our father’s shenanigans all my life, I will stand in front of her and kill the Lycans if I have to but I won’t let anyone hurt her. Brianna pauses in front of me. A frown settles between her brows. I know she is getting annoyed, but I can’t give a damn right now. “ We can talk. Take me to them. I will convince them to take me instead of Eliana. ” I don’t know how I can do that, but I have to try. “ Don’t you understand? You are not what the Lycans need. It’s Eliana. Let her go, Sienna. If Dad comes up, you know how this will end.” She sneers, right in my face. Fear curls around my heart and squeezes it tightly. But, I can’t let it get to my head. “ No. She is not going anywhere. ” I state with another hysteric shake of my head. “ Si. ” Eliana gets up and grabs my hand in her shivering ones. Tears pool in my eyes. It’s like my heart will start to bleed if I even think about her dark future and her death. She is the only person I have in this world. The only one who cared. She is so innocent and full of life unlike me. “ How can Dad do this to you? ” Tears roll down my cheeks as I turn to look at my beautiful sister. If I look at her for longer than a moment, I can tell why the Lycans chose her. She is like a doll. Pale skin. Big sea green eyes. Shiny curly black hair. A slender figure with perfect curves. “ We knew this would happen one day. ” Her moist eyes stare back into mine. “ No. ” I cry out before covering my mouth with the back of my hand. “ Dad was always going to do this. ” Her voice breaks as tears slide out of her eyes. “ You two are such drama queens. She is not dying today. It will take her some time. She will only die when she gives them a Lycan child. ” Brianna huffs. Every muscle in my body goes tight at the picture in my head. Eliana. Dead. No. I can’t live in a world where she doesn’t exist. How does one even do that? Keep living when you know there is no reason, no purpose, no one to hold on to? “ Si. ” She grabs my other hand, shaking me. “ promise me that you will re-remember me. ” “ Stop being dramatic already! Dad is waiting. ” Brianna shouts. No. I snatch my hands out of her soft ones and turn to face Brianna. My vision is blurry but it doesn’t restrict my anger from rising to the surface. I lunge at Brianna, my hands aiming for her throat. She doesn’t see it coming. My hands wrap around her throat as I struggle to twist it. Maybe if I knock her out, Eliana and I can run away. We should have done that a long time ago instead of hoping that Dad will protect us against our fate instead of becoming another pimp like other fathers of omegas. Brianna regains her composure and elbows my nose so hard that I lose my balance. My hands cup my nose which has broken with a sick crunch. Blood paints my whole face and my hands as pain makes me double over. Eliana screams behind me, her hands coming around my waist to pull me back. Brianna grabs my hair and tugs me forward again. She drags me towards the wall before slamming the side of my head against it. My hands fall away from my face. My head hits the wall, causing another loud c***k that steals the air from my lungs. Eliana is still screaming somewhere behind me, but I can’t seem to focus on that. My vision is filled with red, with blood. That’s all I can see and feel. Pulling my head back, Brianna slams it against the wall once more. This time, the impact is so hard that black dots appear in my sight and all my energy leaves my body. I try to claw at Brianna’s hand fisting my hair but my hands can’t seem to be moving in the right direction. There is just pain. Lots of it. It’s intense and blinding. “ You should have died that day. ” Brianna yells in my ear before my forehead hits the wall again. And again. And again. I don’t know how many times she bangs my head on the wall. Sometimes my forehead. Sometimes the side. Pain wraps around my whole frame, making me go blind to the world, and deaf to my little sister’s screams. I have to - - - Protect her. I gasp as everything goes black and my body slumps onto the floor helplessly.
