~Chelsea’s POV~
“Alicia?” I called out to my friend not seeing her in the room we share, I check my run down alarm clock and it’s only 4:30am I wonder where she is this early we don’t have to serve breakfast until 9am and everything is prepped already so I know she isn’t in the kitchen. The door suddenly creaks open as I see my best friend creeping in the room with a small satchel she was holding onto for dear life. “Is everything okay? Why are you up so early?” I whisper making Alicia nearly jump out her skin. “Chels! You scared me why are you awake?”she panicked. “You’re the one sneaking around what’s in the satchel?” Alicia sighs and looks at me with a serious expression “ The less you know the better, just know in two more days we will be rid of this place forever and will finally be free to start our own journeys in life together. No more questions just be ready when I come for you.” I roll back over in bed trying to find some comfort in what she’s promising hoping she doesn’t get us killed. “I really hope you know what you’re doing Alicia. Just know I’m with you no matter what.Now let’s get some sleep we have to be up in a few hours.”
I must’ve dozed off pretty quickly because next thing I know my alarm clock is blaring letting me know it is currently 8am and it’s time for Alicia and I to get ourselves together and start breakfast before anyone else is awake. I throw on one out of the two raggedy pairs of black leggings I own and a run down plain black t-shirt and I head down with Alicia to get breakfast started. We don’t get paid for any of our daily duties around the pack house so we don’t have much basically just the clothes on our backs, the Alpha claims that our hard work is to pay our debt for him and the Luna “taking care” of us by providing housing and leftover scraps of food. I truly despise Alpha Ben Blackmore not only for the way he treats my best friend but just the way he treats women in general.His aura is so menacing,dark, dangerous and not in a good way I’ve seen how much of a monster he is he can be so cruel for no reason at all it’s truly revolting.
My parents weren’t good people either but at least they fed me and I had a decent bed to sleep in with decent clothing. When they were killed I was with Alicia at the pack house doing last minute chores so I wasn’t in the line of fire when the attack went down I thank the moon goddess Selene every night for sparing me since I hadn’t gotten my wolf yet at the time I wouldn’t have been able to protect anyone including myself anyways, But I still lost everything in that moment once I heard what happened I ran to my home as fast as I could. Alpha Ben wouldn’t allow me to enter my home to get any of my belongings due to it being a bloodbath, he wouldn’t even let me see my parents bodies or bury them properly to say goodbye. You would think he was sparing me from being traumatized since I was only 12 years old but I know differently he just wanted to be cruel. I still have nightmares about it I can see him smirking at me as his guards held me back while I screamed and cried as he lit the only home I’ve ever known in flames with my parents bodies still inside. He enjoyed seeing my pain and he felt powerful taking everything I owned away with the snap of his fingers.
“What’s going on in there?” Alicia taps on the side of my head giggling. “Nothing I was just zoned out, let’s finish up with breakfast it’s almost 9am I don’t need anybody on my ass right now.” “Fine I’ll start the bacon” she says before skipping over to the fridge grabbing 6 packs of beef bacon out humming some song I’ve never heard before. I wonder what has gotten her in such a good mood. I brush off my thoughts and start scrambling up the rest of the eggs on the flattop stove. I love this stove when I build my own home I want one just like it, that’s the only good thing moonstone pack did have was good taste in their homes the pack house is absolutely beautiful all around even the surrounding cottages were extravagant in their own unique ways.The kitchen in the pack house is my favorite part of though, it’s extremely spacious and has gorgeous white marble floors with lots of counter space and top notch appliances the kitchen alone is probably worth at least a hundred grand I can’t imagine how much the entire pack house cost to build especially with it being three floors not including the basement where us low level omegas sleep.
Thirty minutes later and we have quite the spread prepared. Alicia and I made pancakes, waffles,scrambled eggs,beef bacon, sausage patties,fried potatoes with peppers and onions. A spread worthy for an army even though we were only feeding the pack house which consisted of around 30-35 people total but it’s very much necessary due to how much werewolves can eat, we eat much more than a human can even begin to fathom that’s because we are not only feeding ourselves but our beasts inside of us.There probably won’t be much leftovers for the omegas, Alicia and I always stash a little bit of food before we serve the rest of the pack house to at least guarantee us omegas at least a small serving of food especially after all our hard work of cooking and serving the meal to everyone. As long as we don’t get caught stashing food we won’t be punished by the alpha for “stealing” so we have been extremely careful.
Everyone has finished up eating and of course left a huge mess in the dining area for us omegas to clean up. After Alicia and I finished clearing and wiping down the tables we prepped for lunch and then we had to start our chores for the day. Our chores took us about two hours to complete before it was time to start serving lunch for the pack house. Glass shattering caught my attention in the dining hall I look over to see the youngest omega named Sarah bowing and apologizing to a very large angry man for dropping the water glass spilling it all over his expensive suit. “ I should have you thrown in the cells for your incompetence you piece of filth! How hard is it to pour water from a pitcher into a glass? clean up this mess you’ve created before someone gets hurt on the broken glass!” The man raged at Sarah who apologized once more shaking and struggling to pick up the broken shards with her bare hands causing them to bleed everywhere while she sobbed uncontrollably. I couldn’t stand watching her treatment any longer. “Hey Sarah Alicia needs help in the kitchen clean your hands and head in there I can finish cleaning this glass up run along now.” “Thank you.” Sarah whispers to me as I push her through the double doors back into the kitchen, I grab my water pitcher and pour the man a fresh cup of water while he glared at me but didn’t speak thank the moon goddess he didn’t take offense to my interference I’m supposed to be laying low until Alicia is ready to execute her master plan that I know nothing of so I just silently clean up the rest of the glass and head back into the kitchen to finish help serving the higher rank members.
