******** Emma's POV *************
"WAKE UP EMMA", shouted Athena through our mind link. I groaned at the thought of waking back up to this horrible place I call home. Although Athena was right and her waking me up made me feel as though someone cared for me, I couldn't find myself to smile at that because of my stinging cheek which the cut ran from under my eye through my cheek and on the corner of my lips. I mostly imagined it to look like a fishing hook. I felt extremely horrible and guilty for taking the puppy with me because even though he is safe from humans will he be safe from my kind? I thought loudly. "Girl, stop thinking like that, Poppy is probably just hiding until we find him", explained Athena. I hope you are right I mumbled through which got me glancing to the pitch black window and got me thinking, what time is it??
After 15 minutes Athena finally has gained enough strength to heal me and my face I got up to look at my watch and see that it is only ten PM. Normally that is what me and Athena call our miracle hours because nobody is awake and can harm us. I dragged my sore body to the kitchen where I grabbed a wet rag and cleaned the blood droplets that fell beside the couch on the living room. Athena can you please try to call for Poppy and tell him to come to us?
"sure", mumbled Athena as she was already frustrated that I brought an innocent puppy in a pack house full of ruthless and murderous werewolves. After a few minutes I found Poppy nearing from the arcade room. I swiftly picked him up and grabbed a bowl of chips and salsa with a small cup of soda and ran to my room. Running past all of the flight of stairs to get to the top floor was always a challenge since the Alpha's never gave me an elevator key. My room was so small but I knew in reality it was just the attic. But I took pride in having the attic all to myself because every wolf who has ever lived in this mansion has always left once they find they're mate and have pups. Which all of their furniture would just be thrown here and I was always happy to have more furniture to decorate and make it decent looking. A lot of the attic's red paint was starting to peel off but I could not do anything about that. Although it did bother me when pieces of dried up paint would fall on my head while I slept on a piece of thin material on the floor.
I did not have a proper bed but last year an omega named Marissa, found her mate and so she left her furniture and couch and threw it up here. Poppy was just in a corner of the room laying on some of my dirty laundry, While I eat my food on the couch and I cant stop thinking on how my wolf is weakening with every drop of silver that is injected in me if I mess up which is always and so I have decided to keep money which I make from cleaning the packs bedrooms which are the size of a small studio apartment and buy a first aid kit in times of need when Athena is too weak to heal us. On that note I felt my eyes closing while I let darkness take over my body. I fell into the best sleep I have had in a long time. It wasn't surprising due to the fact that I was dreaming about finding my mate and living happily ever after.

"b***h come down to the kitchen now you good for nothing w***e", yelled my Alpha while Luna just watched the television silently. He was upset at me because I gave him blueberry pancakes instead of chocolate chips pancakes. Today is the day where me and Athena decided to put our big girl panties on and not cry over his insults. I was still scared shitless considering the evilness and awful smirk he had once I didn't shed a tear, We think that might have pissed him off because he grabbed a knife from the sink which he was waving and threatening me with and plunged it in one of my thighs. I am pretty sure he pushed it until he touched and broke a bone.
I yelled in pain while holding my now bleeding thigh. Tears tried escaping my eyes but I was not gonna allow him the pleasure of seeing my tears any longer. I thought I was gonna die this time because then he grabbed my fingers and bent them in different and odd angles. Once I started seeing black little dots I knew that he won once again, but Athena snapped me out of it and told me to limp my way to the first aid kit in our room. It was kinda weird because yeah I have never been in this much pain before but Athena has never been so head strong and confident about today.
Since I knew that Athena could heal us I didn't really have much to do, well I did have to snap and contort my fingers back to place which let me tell you it hurt like a b***h. "shut up Ems we have to get to school and I am feeling really good today", sang Athena in an almost sing-along way. I just smiled at her because I haven't seen her like this in a long time. After I popped my fingers back to place I grabbed a mustard skin fitting dress that stopped right before my knees and some black flats with white panties and a matching bra and placed it on my bathroom counter which was actually in the attic.
I am lucky though because most attics don't have a bathroom but mine does. I prepared a nice warm bubble bath and added my favorite vanilla scented oil and body scrub and happily bathed. The water felt so good because it was helping my sore and tense muscles so much. I decided to stay in the bath for five more minutes before getting out and drying my body while paying closer attention to my thigh prepping it for the alcohol and antibiotic I was gonna put on before I bandaged it.
Now why is it your so excited to get to school, Athena?
