1020 Words
Alyanna is afraid for her life. Lorraine is not the kind of alpha woman with a kind attitude. She is a rotten spoiled inside, and she often bullied her. Alyanna never hated someone as much as she hates Lorraine. "I just want to pick an apple," she explained in a calm tone. The other girl gave her a smug look. "The peasant is angry? How unfortunate," she mocked. Even though Alyanna is still dizzy, she stood up and lowered her head. She wants to fight back, but she can not. Alyanna knows that she is always at disadvantage. If she will fight back against her, she is the only one who will get the punishment. She doesn't want to be locked again in that 'dark room' and felt the whipped on her bare thin skin. "I am so sorry," she apologizes. She tried to sound as sincere as she can, hoping that she will be getting out of this situation without any damage. "Oh, silly, don't be sorry! Here, catch some apples." Lorraine throws apples at her. She felt her body getting lighter, because of the pain, the hunger, and the emotional damage... She slowly fell unconscious on the ground. THE next time she opened her eyes, she realized that she is inside that room again. This room is so familiar to her because she is too often to be punished than the other pack member who committed real crimes. The darkroom is located in the packhouse basement. It is stinky here due to the smell of dried and fresh blood. There are lots of rusty chains, and the wall on the other side, lighted by a small light bulb shows a display of torture items and equipment. Alyanna is aware that the alpha's family is a bunch of sadistic monsters. "You are awake..." A man shows out of nowhere. It is no other than the alpha himself. Alpha Leonard is the youngest alpha in the history of their pack. He is 23 years old man, with a height of six flats. He is the perfect combination of good-looking and masculine. His broad shoulder is showing because he has no shirt. He is only wearing pants. He has black hair and red eyes that pierce her with that glances. "Alpha..." Alyanna muttered helplessly. Like she knows where it will go. "Do you dare to hurt my girlfriend? She runs to me and Lorraine said that you push her back and fight her back also?" Alpha Leonard growled in anger. She knows that the man inside of him can cut his neck in an instant if he wants to. Alyanna shook her head violently, trying to defend herself and explain everything. "No, Alpha! I will never do that to Ms. Lorraine!" The Alpha gave her a smirk and the next thing she felt is the stinging pain on her cheeks. The echo made from that slap rang on the whole darkroom. "And now you are saying that she is lying to me? It looks like you grow some guts. You have to be punished, and don't you dare to defy me again!" She sees nothing in this situation but ended up dying in pain again. She lowered her head and spoke, "Please, punish me." "My pleasure." She waited a few minutes, and the next thing she remembered is the constant pain she is receiving. She can not shout, or else the whipping will be crueler. The alpha is cackling, she knows that the guy loves how she winced in pain. She wanted to end this misery of her. Alyanna felt her body sweating cold, there is gushing blood at her back, her mind was clouded by pain and hunger. She is thirsty to shout, and her voice cannot make any sound. She did not dare to count how many times he was slapped and abused. She just remembers the alpha commanding the pack warrior to drag her out of the darkroom from the back of the packhouse. When she was seen by her two friends, Vanessa and George hurriedly ran to her, and they go to their treehouse. "What happened?" Vanessa asked while crying. She knows that they are in pain as she is again in a miserable situation. George gave her a cup of water and a piece of a few wild berries. Vanessa is cleaning her wounds. "Lorrain, she framed me again, and the Alpha gave me a set of punishments." "Alyanna, stop being a hard-headed girl! We have to get out of here! They are not the kindest of creatures, and we tried to tolerate it, but it is only getting worse. See what happened to you? It can happen to us again, and we will just end up dying in this hell place!" George expressed his anger. "But where?" Vanessa the youngest asked the two of them. "There is a pack around here. The Blue Moon pack... It is a few miles away, but the alpha and this pack would not care if we will run away. They will think that we would not survive." Alyanna reasons out. "That's the point. Winter is coming, and we can not start escaping. We will end up freezing into death." "I have plans! I gathered thick worn clothes and a blanket. I secretly make a carr for our things. I stored food, and I have the map of where we will go. Okay? Please, I don't want to stay here anymore." Alyanna sighed and agree with her. "Okay, I think it is time for us to get away from this place." "Thank Luna! You finally regained your sense!" That night, Alyanna's mind was clouded by what-ifs. She slowly looks at the window, and there is nothing but darkness. It feels hopeless... They are hopeless. THE next morning is her 18th birthday. Who would have thought that she can manage to survive the cruelty of the pack for 18th years? This is also the day that she may be able to find her mate. She is beyond excited but little did she know, what wait for her is just a disaster.
