The Alpha's Abuse

Lucy I paced back and forth as I and my younger siblings wait for our parents in our father's office. My father was none other than Darius Nuit. He built his pack from nothing. After approaching the wolves counsel asking them to start his own all-inclusive pack, and after lots of back and forth, they were finally approved to start their own pack. My father came from a long line of Alphas but had been disowned by his own family simply because of who he loved. My mother. Sylvia Nightcrest. Well, that was her maiden name. After they got married, she took my father's last name. Together, they produce three children; myself, my brother Marcus, and the baby sister, Lyla. However, I was the only hybrid. Half witch, half wolf. Completely split down the middle. My Wolf came to me like every Alpha wolf at thirteen. Her name was Jade. Jade completed me completely. At thirteen, I also had my first shift. However, my siblings were not so lucky. Marcus was full Wolf while Lyla was full witch. I was the only Nuit child blessed with both a wolf and witch abilities. Today something was off with my parents. My siblings couldn't sense it but I could and I dreaded the wait. After what seemed like forever, but in reality was only about ten minutes, our parents entered the office. Our father sits down in the chair behind his dark mahogany desk. He links his fingers together as he drops his head before sighing. Our mother offers us a weak smile before she moves to rub her mates shoulders. He visibly relaxes but not much. After a few more moment of agony he sighs and looks at me straight in the eyes before speaking. "The counsel has decided to overturn the line of succession." When we give him a puzzled look, he continues, "It means that Lucy will never be Alpha. With her being half witch, the counsel has decided to pass the title to Marcus when he comes of age to take over." He sighs heavily as he rubs his eyes. He looks directly at me with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry Lu.... I fought like hell to keep you in line, but given the war, the council doesn't believe you can remain on the wolf's side. You being in full control of a large and powerful pack scares the s**t out of them." His eyes water and my mother leans down and wraps her arms around his neck. My world shatters at that moment. I have been training since I got my wolf to lead this pack. Almost everyone already called me Alpha or Miss Alpha. My knees buckle under me and Marcus rushes and grabs me before I hit the floor. I may be tiny, standing at barely five foot one, and my brother towering over all of us at six foot four, the Alpha aura seeps from every form of my being. Marcus gently helps me to the beige couch sitting against the large library wall. He gently places me down and looks at me with tears in his eyes. He didn't want to Alpha and much as I didn't want him to be Alpha. "I'm sorry Lu...." He mumbles before he moves away. I drop my head into my hands and I feel tears threatening to fall. "Marcus, Layla, why don't you two head down to dinner, while your father and I talk with Lucille a little bit more." Her voice was like silk yet deadly with a tone that told neither of my siblings to disobey her. I wince as she uses my full name. I hate my name Lucille. I prefer to go by Lucy or Lu. Almost everyone calls me Lucy, only those closest to me calls me Lu. Both my siblings give my hands a squeeze and a look of sadness before they left the office. Not before kissing our mother and bowing to our father. Despite the formalities, our parents were the kindest and sweetest parents ever. But at this moment, they weren't my parents. They were my Alpha and Luna. My mom comes and sits besides me and wraps her arms around my shoulders and pulls me close. She caresses my hair and let a sob escape me. I never cry. I was taught to be strong and stoic, to never let anyone see any emotion. I was to be Alpha after all. Or. I was/ Not any more. I look up at my mother with tears in my eyes and her silver eyes match mine. Both full of tears unshed. "Oh my baby." She mumbles before pulling me into a tight hug. I sob into her shoulder for a moment as I wrap my arms around her as tight as I could. For a moment I feel like a little girl who scraped my knee and needed her mom. My mom holds me while I cry for a few moments. When I finally let out a sniffle and pull back I notice my father looking at us with tears in his eyes. "I"m so sorry Lu. I fought like hell to show them that you deserve the title. It is yours by birthright! You are my first born! It's not right!" He growls loudly, his eyes shifting from brown to green as his wolf, Aryc threatens to take over. "Aryc, calm down. There is not a damn thing we can do about it now! The counsel made their decision. It's not their fault that Lucille may never have a mate!." She growls then freezes as she realizes what she says. She immediately looks at me, "Oh baby. That's not how I meant to tell you." I freeze as her words register and I stand up, "What do you mean I wont have a mate?" I look between my parents and they share a look that makes me angry. Jade growls at them, causing them to jump. Jade pushes me back as she pushes forward, "What do you mean I won't have a mate!" She yells at them as she growls. I fight back for control and eventually Jade gives up. I look between them and wait. "Well?! What do you mean?!" I snarl as I wait for an answer. My mother rises slowly, holding her hands up towards me as she slowly moves towards my dad. He sighs and rubs his eyes, "Well, as you know, witches don't have mates. They choose their partners. Wolves have mates that are gifted to us by the Moon Goddess. Sadly, you are now twenty-four and have yet to find your mate despite us taking you to all the neighboring packs. The counsel believes that, despite the blessing the Moon Goddess gave to us to be together, that she will not grant you a mate as you are only half wolf...." He slowly rises from his desk and takes a step towards me. I don't even know what I feel at this point. All my life I prayed to the Moon Goddess for my mate and now I find out I will never get one. I look at both my parents dead in the eyes and ask the only question on my mind, "How long." When my father arches an eyebrow I continue, "How long have you suspected I may not ever get a mate?!" When neither look at me I take a step back, "HOW LONG?!" I demand, causing my mother to jump and my father to growl before pulling it back. "Since you were nineteen and still hadn't found a mate." My father states bluntly and I feel my heart shatter. I turn away from them as tears threaten to spill from my eyes. Jade is beyond pissed. She is howling and screaming in my head, giving me a headache. I breathe heavily for a few minutes as my anger slowly consumes my entire being. I have never felt this amount of anger in my entire life. When I finally turn around, my mother gasps and covers her mouth as my father looks at me with pure fear in his eyes, "You let me believe I would find my one true love for five years and never once told me you doubt I'd find one?!" I growl loudly, shaking the windows. I glance behind my father and I see my reflection in the glass. My eyes are blood red and my fangs are elongated. I am truly a sight to behold. I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths and that's when the sadness over takes me. "I HATE YOU BOTH! AND I HATE THE MOON GODDESS!" I scream at the top of my lungs before I rip the door open and run out the door. I hear both my yelling for me as I bolt out of his office, down the stairs and out the front door. I get many looks from the Omegas I pass. Even my fathers Beta, Evan, tries to stop me, but I elude his grip way too easily. I bolt out the front door and into the woods. Jade takes over and we shift into my blood red wolf and she howls in pain and anger as she runs. I sit back and just watch her run as I scream internally as Jade howls to match my pain. I have no idea how long we run before Jade pulls herself back and I shift back into my human form. I'm naked as the day I was born and I lean against a nearby tree and I sob as every emotion I have ever pent up comes rushing out. I let out a loud scream and I scream until I have no more voice. I whimper as I drop to my knees, "I'm sorry Jade. I'm so damn sorry that they never told us. That they let us believe we would be blessed!" I whimper and sob as I beat my fists into the ground. I was too involved in my own emotions to notice the nine large wolves surround me. "Lu...." Jade whispers to me and I finally look up. "Shit." I mumble as I slowly rise to my feet. "What do we have here?" A deep masculine voice calls from behind the wolves surrounding me. They part only slightly and a large, very naked mane walks through. Instantly I curse myself. I ran too far away from home. To the one pack that didn't have a treaty with my father. "Welcome to the Blood Rain pack little one." He chuckles as he snaps his finger and I feel a dart hit my neck. I instantly rip it out and growl at the wolves. They hit me with three more darts and that's when I realize, it was wolfsbane. I struggle against the poison but finally Jade begs me to stop. I drop to my knees in surrender. Alpha Cristian walks up to me and grabs me by the throat, "Oh I'm going to enjoy this." He chuckles before someone hits me from behind and my world goes black.
