BEFRIENDED BY THE BRUTAL ALPHAS

AMBER'S POV "A wish?" "Pfff…." He scoffed at me. "What nonsense are you saying?" "You think you can just say what you want and I will just do because you think you are my daughter?" "How pathetic, Amber." "....You want to be in the Omegas quarters? And weren't you informed only those with a wolf are allowed in there?" "You must be daydreaming to think I would allow that!" The harsh words of my father and Lycan King of our pack, Alpha Reuben, sank deep into my soul. "But father?" I interrupted. "Hold it right there, Amber. You dare talk when I'm talking?" "Don't even dare!" "Get out of my sight!!" he said in a loud tone, pushing me away. His warriors and men watched as he chased me out of his chambers like a rat. "At least not like this..not in front of the pack," I whispered but he paid no attention. He frowned as he walked me out. What have I done to deserve this? The Moon Goodess has to be partial to have created me without a inner wolf. I cried as I sat at the front porch of his quarters. "Perhaps he would calm down and come apologize to me," I thought. This was the third time this week he had humiliated me in front of the others. He was as though I wasn't even his daughter to begin with. How long do I need to keep doing this? I beat my chest so hard, "If you are there, just speak, please." "The whole pack thinks I'm worthless…if you are in there, just show forth and put them to shame. I beg of you," I voiced out. I waited but there was no response. I let out a heavy sigh as I sat there staring into the air. "What are you doing here?" A hand suddenly hit me by the side. Her colored eyes gave me chills and sent a cooling sensation down my body. My mother. Lisa Radenwolf. The only comfort I have, amidst all of my struggles in the pack. She would always show up for me even when I least expected it. "Mother…he wouldn't even listen to me," I complained. "We have to leave here first. You know how father can be, sometimes. Let's not get on his nerves.." she suggested. She helped me up and led me to her quarters. "Mother, just tell me the truth..Am I cursed?" Hmm? "Why am I different from the others? Am I not from father's loins or your womb?" "Just say what it is..do not keep me in the dark. This shame is too much for me to bear," I complained. Just like I expected, she replied with a smile, "Don't think all that, baby. You are my daughter and I know you'll do so well later on. For now, be patient and strong.." "Your father will come around," she concluded. I wondered when that will be. I threw my arms around her to give her a tight hug. *** "Amber! Amber!! Amber!!!" I heard a voice called me from outside. I must have fallen asleep. Mother was no longer beside me. "Who is it?" I answered in a loud tone. "Bring your worthless body out here and see for yourself," the voice responded. I wondered who it was. That voice sounded strange. Next thing, I heard were stones flying through the door. "What the heck?" I stormed out angrily. I stood in awe when I saw two Omegas stare at me in disgust. "How can I help you, Freya?" I said to one of them. "Help us? You must be joking! What exactly do have to offer us?" "Absolutely nothing," Diana completed her statement. I walked towards her gently, "Please, I beg of you. I do not want any trouble..Just take your leave," I uttered in a low tone. They laughed at me and threw their hands in the air. "Look who is talking.." Freya jested. "Oh…but have you forgotten we ought not to speak to her in that manner? She is daughter of our Alpha, we should call her with respect," they both mocked me as they discussed. "Oh please…Lisa must think Alpha Reuben is a fool," they started gossping. My brain almost had a spark when I heard them call my mother by her name. I kept mute and pretended I wasn't paying attention. "Or do you think this worthless human is Alpha Reuben's daughter? Goddess forbid. I'm sure she is just one of those bastard child looking for a home to settle.." They both faced me and spat heavily on my face.."Trashload!" They insulted me. I staggered to the back and my leg hut a stone behind me, making me fall flat to the ground. It was a hard fall. "Aaargh!!" I screamed out in pain. They didn't even move or try to assist me. Instead, they began to hurl more insultive words at me. I was kicked and slapped. "That serves you right…If the Moon Goddess will answer you, tell her to take you away from here cause you are worthless and nothing to the pack." "An abomination!!" They both echoed in my ears as they walked away. I laid there helpless. My whole body was in pains and I was so weak to even lift a muscle. I saw one of the wolf guards pass me by and I tried to whistle so he would help me up but instead, he looked away like I wasn't there. "Where is she? Where?" I suddenly heard noises coming from far. The ground was raided with heavy footsteps approaching. My heart raced. I couldn't even move my head to see where the noise was coming from. I tried to roll my body across if I could see the other side. Someone finally came by and helped my body to the wall. "Thank you," I said to the young man who came from nowhere. "Who did this to you?" He spoke in a soft tone. I was just about to answer when one of the Omegas from father's quarters appeared. "Amber, you are here?" She said all of a sudden. "Uhn?" I replied with a confused look on my face. "What happened?" I said when I noticed how unsettled she was. "Your-…. It's your mother…." "She is dead!!!"
