Chapter one;Jasmine pov
A sob escaped my throat as I cleaned up the bruises and cuts on my body. My whole life was a mess, everyone looked down on me for being a forgotten omega. I was left on the doorstep of the Silver stone pack house when I was just a newborn pup, no one knew who I was or where I came from. To them, I was just an abandoned wasteland. They always maltreated me by starving me right from a young age, but apart from that, my life was pretty peaceful, sure I was a little slim or smaller than other kids my age, but at least I was living OK.
But that was only until my thirteenth birthday, then my true nightmare began. At age thirteen, all werewolves had their first shift, and so did I. Only mine almost claimed my life. By the time I'd woken up I'd changed, I had gotten prettier, my assets were more developed and my cheeks were rosier than it had ever been, my silvery blonde hair had even grown longer, perks of my werewolf genes being activated I guess, but someone didn't like it, and that was Renee, alpha Jacob's daughter. Since then, she'd made it her life's mission to torment me, she'd make me clean her bedroom, then mess it up even worse and blame it on me, she'd hit me and abuse me. Yup, she was the total worst, but no one cared, to them my life or death probably didn't even matter.
Today just like any other day I'd woke up by four to make breakfast for the whole pack. Yup, you got that right, the whole pack, hundreds of starving wolves. I made bacon, eggs of different varieties and shapes, pancakes, sausages, waffles, toast, you name it, and by the time I was done it was almost eight am.
" s**t" I cursed as I hurried to set the table before the pack came down for breakfast. I quickly grabbed a handful of plates and cutlery, hurrying to set them in place before repeating the process going back and forth just to fill the ridiculously long pack table, then I arranged the array of breakfast right at the middle. By the time I'd just placed the last breakfast tray on the table I saw a swarm of hungry wolves coming into the the hall, Renee and her followers among them.
" gosh please don't let them see me" I prayed in my mind as I tried to sneak my way back into the kitchen, and I did, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief when I heard a snarky voice behind me.
" Well, well, well, what do we have here" followed by a handful of giggles, I'd know that voice anywhere, even in my dreams, no scratch that, nightmares. I gulped as I turned back slowly shivering a little, standing there was no one other than my tormentor, Renee. I took one look into her eyes before quickly looking down, not even realizing that I had inched my way backwards till my back hit the wall.
"It's the pack's adorable little omega" she sneered as she ran her hands down my face, her eyes tracking her movements, before her fingers suddenly stopped, and dug deep into my cheek, she looked into my eyes as she squeezed my jaw. "What's wrong, why are you shivering, you know, people who didn't know any better would think that we maltreated you here at Silverstone pack" she spoke painfully slowly her breath on my face and her fingers digging deeper at every word she spoke, I could feel my blood flowing down my cheeks, I whimpered softly, tears pooled in my eyes, but I held them back from falling, crying would only make things worse.
She let go of my cheeks and turned, I thought she would leave, but she didn't instead she turned and grabbed me by the neck
" it's all because of this fair neck isn't it, this, this vixen body, that's the reason why my Jackie is seduced, you seduced him you b***h" she screamed hysterically as she landed punch after punch to me before flinging me down. I landed on my side, and I curled up in a fetal position as she and her minions rained kicks on me all the while screaming at me.
" he's all mine, all mine, you hear, you're just a nobody, an abandoned bastard, you'll never compare to me you're nothing, Jack only sees you as a play tool, he'll only ever love me, he's only been briefly seduce by you, you vixen"
Tears where already rolling down my eyes at this point, I whimpered and sobbed as they rained kicks on me. Jack was Renee's fickle boyfriend, who she's so certain is going to be her mate. He stared at any wolf in skirts, it wasn't my fault he was a perv, it's not my fault your boyfriend is a good for nothing p*****t who lusts after every she-wolf in sight, I wanted to yell but I was powerless, and all I could do was lay there and take their beating in hopes that they would tire off quickly.
Finally, when She'd concluded that I'd received enough beating she walked over to the sink, washed her hands and strutted out of the kitchen with her two minions trailing behind her. I stayed curled up for a few minutes, before standing up and limping away with the little amount of energy I could muster.. I passed through the back hallway meant for omegas then I went up the rickety old woody staircase to the small, dark, moldy attic where I lived. I squeezed through the maze of abandoned stuff, they'd dumped in the there and squeezed into the mini bathroom, glancing up at the broken shard of what should have been a mirror, the thought of ending my life popped up in my head for the thousandth time, but I shook it off. So this was where we picked up from, this was my life.
" it will all be fine, just a few more weeks till we meet mate" that was Alayna my wolf, I'd gotten her the day I woke up after my shift, she was probably the best thing that'd happened to me through all this.
" you don't know that" I replied forlorn, it was few weeks to my eighteenth birthday, when werewolves are supposedly able to sense their soulmates, some people find theirs immediately they turn eighteen but not everyone's so lucky.
" Damn girl, don't be such a pessimist," she sniffed.
"I'm not being pessimistic, I'm just stating a fact" I reply and that wolf just rolled her eyes, dramatic much.
" But God, I can just feel it, I feel we're going to find mate soon" now it was my turn to roll my eyes.
" yeah right... Didn't tell me being a wolf came with psychic ability" and to
that she just huffed and I chuckled.
