~Alicia’s POV~
“No one can save you, and the more you try to fight back makes it worse for you! You don’t even have your wolf to heal you, you’re just pathetic!” Yells Alpha Ben Blackmore as I feel his whip laced in silver lash into my back for the 27th time. All I could do was scream out numbers as he made me count each lash aloud. I knew my father never loved me but to beat me just because I wasn’t the son he wanted was just pure evil and I hated him with every being in my body. It’s not my fault I wasn’t born with a pecker between my legs,but no matter what happened I just could do no right in his eyes.
My mother, Luna Bella Blackmore was of course no help to me as she was too afraid of my father to stick up for me. She won’t even speak to me knowing she would receive his wrath as well for her being unable to conceive an heir to reign as the Alpha once Alpha Ben retires. My father believed women to be weak,pathetic, and only good enough for breeding. Most men in the Moonstone Pack have the same thought process as their alpha it was disgusting the way they treat their mates and daughters.
Little did they know I had gotten my wolf 2 years ago on my 16th birthday and she was absolutely magnificent and stronger than almost every wolf in this pack I’m almost the size of an alpha wolf now but I won’t show anyone Aries until I’ve reached my full strength, my wolf is special for some reason that I’m unaware of as of right now and I’m determined to find out. Aries is able to magically cover our scent somehow so that no one can sense that I have my wolf yet, this way everyone thinks I’m basically still a human. I can tell I have other gifts also but they seem dormant like they are waiting for something to come out. Im glad they haven’t came to full power yet though not without me knowing how to control them yet anyways so no one would suspect a thing when the time comes to execute my plan.
“I think that’s enough for today go get yourself cleaned up and get supper started for the pack you have 30 minutes!” My father’s voice snaps me back into reality as I lay curled up in fetal position trying to heal myself slowly with my wolf just enough to ease the pain slightly but not too much that could cause any attention. Even though I am the alphas daughter he will not claim me so I am treated like a low level omega within the pack no one will speak or even be friendly to me other than one person whom I love dearly. The Alpha finally leaves me to gather myself, meanwhile my best and only friend within the pack rushes over to comfort me after having to watch my beating fearing she was next.
“I hate that I can’t help you when he is hurting you like that Alicia.” Chelsea sobs while helping me sit on her excuse of a bed. Chelsea and I share a very small room in the omega wing in the pack house, our room consists of a toilet, sink with a small vanity mirror, two twin sized metal bed frames and a twin sized mattresses that were made out of brick if you asked me.No pillows,blankets,anything comforting or colorful in eyesight it’s a good thing we have our wolves to keep us warm at night.“It’s fine Aries heals me pretty quickly plus helping me would only cause havoc for you.” I sigh as she hugs me tightly sniffling trying to control her emotions. “it’s not fine! I don’t understand why he treats you like that just because you’re not a boy! It’s disgusting, he’s a sorry excuse of an alpha and father!”
I spit blood out of my mouth into the sink as I try to get myself cleaned up so I can get supper started for the pack. I look into the mirror at my busted up lips and I feel this strange power rush through me giving me a strong sense of hope and confidence I’m not sure what that was but it felt amazing. Aries felt it too I assume since Aries wasn’t growling,ready to attack like normal I didn’t think much of it so I just brush it off and try to comfort Chelsea.“It will all be okay soon enough I have a plan to get out of here and I hope you’ll come with me.. don’t ask any questions or details and when it’s time I’ll come for you just have your most precious belongings already packed and ready to go.” She nods her head in agreement as we walk out of the room and head down to the kitchen to get supper started.
It is now 6:30pm about 2 1/2 hours since my daily beating and dinner is served. Chelsea and I set up the table which consisted of 3 large pans of roast beef, 2 large pots of mashed potatoes and gravy ,2 more large pots of green beans with bread rolls on the side. We rang the bell letting the pack members that live within the pack house know supper is ready and the kitchen soon rushed with people filling their plates. The only two members in the pack house that you will never see joining at the dinner table would be alpha Ben and Luna Bella,of course they were too high rank to eat with anyone other than each other in their eyes. The alpha and Luna always had seperate meals prepared for them creating extra work for the omegas to prepare two different meals every breakfast, lunch and dinner. I would just poison them both and end my misery but they have a million taste testers for their food before it even reaches them it would be pointless and a suicide mission. The omegas weren’t even allowed to eat with normal pack members in the pack so we have our separate dining area which only had 3 foldable tables lined up in a small room and we were only allowed to eat after everyone else was finished which were basically scraps if anything at all.
I wasn’t even hungry at this point my mind was too occupied trying to perfect my escape plan with little to no mistakes. Just a few more days and this place will forever be behind me once I decided to snap the link to my pack and become rogue to live in freedom from my father and his hateful pack. I just hope Chelsea will come with me I don’t see why she wouldn’t though she was no stranger to the hate and mistreatment of this pack since she is a foster child. Chelsea’s parents were murdered 6 years ago when a wild pack of rogues crossed our territory and attacked multiple families surrounding the pack-house leaving a bloodbath, her story before the attack wasn’t much different from the life I live now so it didn’t make much a difference losing her parents in her eyes. Her father was just as evil as the alpha and her mother just as much a coward as mines. We’ve only ever had each other in this place we are supposed to call home. Our birthday is on the same day ironically so we will both be turning 18 in 3 days that is also when my wolf will reach full strength and I can put my plan into action.
My wolf is a tribrid named Aries. I am also a vampire and demon but my wolf overpowered most of my abilities due to my father being a pure blooded alpha wolf but with my mother being half demon and half vampire they created a very rare powerful tribrid I think that is why they are so disappointed thinking I don’t have any powers. They just don’t know Aries is absolutely stunning she has auburn colored fur with eyes the color of blood with silver lining around the pupils no one has seen my wolf I’ve made sure of it not even my best friend. Aries is much larger than normal shewolves once she reaches her full strength on our 18th birthday she will be larger and much stronger than the alpha. Meanwhile in my human form I’m only 5 feet tall, with butt length jet black wavy hair with green eyes. I’d like to say I was pretty attractive, if anyone would act like I existed other than for cooking and cleaning maybe they’d see it too.. I truly hope I have a fated mate out there somewhere.
A tap on my shoulder brings me back from daydreaming. “ you okay ? You haven’t said a word since we left our room or even touched your dinner..” I look over and see chelsea staring at me with worried eyes I could see them going back and forth between hazel and blue meaning she was speaking with her wolf Skye.“ I’m okay I just have a lot on my mind and I’m not really hungry. Everyone else has already gone to bed so lets hurry and get the kitchen and dining area cleaned up before we can rest for the night, c’mon.” I reassure her and I clear whatever scraps were on my plate into the bin and watch her do the same before we head to the kitchen to finish our chores.
As we leave Chelsea walks in front of me as we reach the dining area and I can’t help but admire how gorgeous my friend really was I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little jealous of her good looks. Chelsea has light caramel colored skin like me one of the only things we have in common, she is tall around 5’8” with shoulder length soft curly brown hair and hazel eyes. Her wolf Skye was just as gorgeous she is a large all grey wolf with piercing blue eyes that could hypnotize you into doing whatever she liked or wanted which is also a gift she hides from everyone except me of course, we don’t want anyone trying to use her gifts to their advantage. Once we reach the kitchen we both decided to split the tasks at hand while Chelsea cleaned I chose to prep breakfast for the morning which took us about 2 hrs to complete. By the time we were able to shower and make it to our rooms it was now pushing midnight and I was exhausted and ready for bed. “Three more days” I whisper to myself before I drift off into a deep slumber..
