Chapter 1
Alpha Jacob, Luna Karen and I walked back to the pack house along the stony path. Once we get there, I enter the kitchen, everything is white and black. A table for 10 sits in front of the patio doors. They politely ask me to sit down, a boy is already sitting there. The boy’s name is Peter. He’s their son and we have a big lunch together. After eating they start asking me questions like, how old I am, when is my birthday and what my name is. I happily tell them I am 5 years old; my birthday is the 29th of August and I’m Theodore Thomas son of Beta’s Adam and Dannii Thomas or Orange Moon pack. Luna Karen’s face becomes angry and red. Her hand comes flying out of nowhere, slapping me on my face and screaming at me not to lie. While crying and holding my redding face I try telling her I am not lying. Luna Karen hit’s me again harder this time I yelp.
They gave me this cupboard to live in as naughty children do not get bedrooms to sleep in. Its dark, cold and smells like mould, 3 dirty and smelly blankets are all I’m allowed. Laying on 2 of the blankets, I placed one over me and cried myself to sleep. The next morning, I am startled awake by someone banging on the cupboard door demanding I get up. Slowly getting up, my body is stiff and cold. Opening the door, a plate with a slice of toast and a glass of orange juice is waiting for me. A lady pointed to a door not too far away from me. There is a bathroom in there you have 5 minutes to get ready before the day’s work starts. Gobbling my food down fast as my tummy rumbles, slowly drinking the juice it quenches my thirst but makes me ever colder.
The old lady with grey hair comes walking over and pats me on the head. You are a good boy for being ready on time. My name is Penny and life is not going to be nice for you here. You now must work in the house cleaning, help with cooking, washing everyone’s clothes and if you’re lucky going to school. I am the head of housekeeping. Here is your list of things to do today. Strip beds and take all dirty washing to the laundry room then clean all the bathrooms in the pack house. This was all before lunch I was determined to get it done. Getting everything done, maybe Alpha and Luna will be kind to me and give me a bedroom of my own. I want to be a member of this pack.
Finishing all my chores Penny had given me, I go and clean myself up. I am very hungry now after all that work my tummy is rumbling. Skipping to the kitchen I see the chubby, short boy form last night. I say hello happily with a smile and he comes stomping over and hits me. His hit is weak, but it knocks me a couple steps back as I was not expecting it. Shocked that he had just hit me for no reason. Peter becomes mad that I didn’t fall over. So, he hit me again, but I still did not fall over. Peter shouts in my face to stay out of his way. My lip is slit, I clench my fists and punch him he falls easily. There is a screech from the stairs. Luna Karen was halfway down; she must have seen me punch him. She comes racing over to pick up her son. Peter my baby are you ok? What happened? He punched me mummy, and it hurt my head. He hit me first multiple times in fact I bellowed at her.
Luna is so angry she started shaking, her eye’s go black meaning her wolf is in control screaming at me like a banshee. Peter is the future Alpha of this pack it does not matter what he does to you. You have no right to touch him, have you got that boy? You better start to show some respect little mutt. Luna streaks over, grabbing me by my hair, drags me to my cupboard and throws me in. Crashing into the wall I shout out in pain. You will not be eating for the rest of the day for what you did to Peter. Kicking me in the tummy and slamming the door. Laying on my blankets crying to myself, how could they do this to me? I’m a child.
Over the next 12 years my life has gotten dramatically worse. I’m beaten by most members of the pack. They get in my way on purpose just so they can push me over or hit me. When I was 7, 9 and 13 Peter and his friends future Beta Paul and future Gammer Chris had thrown me into a scalding hot bath. Still, I shudder remembering the pain when they thew me in. Screaming as the water scorches my skin, the scalding water burning my throat and lungs. Trying to climb out, my whole body was smouldering blisters starting to appear. Crying, I had never felt so much pain before. I need a cold shower to stop my skin from coming off then go to my room to sleep. If my chores are not finished, the Alpha will take me in the garden, cuff me to the pole and whip me. Going for that cold shower it really does help then getting all my chores done on time was difficult after that.
Alpha Jacob started whipping me after I turned 7 beating me every day wasn’t enough for him anymore. If I didn’t finish my chores or answered back to anyone in the pack even, the Omegas. Then he moved on to dipping the whip in wolfbane or using the whip that has silver beads on it. Then last year at school I had a fight with Peter. In the lunch hall laughing with his friends about how I’m a liar. Can I get everyone’s attention? This was him in my kitchen. I’m Theodore my parents are betas, but they have died now. Everyone laughed at this. In fact, he’s a little omega orphan, so weak that not even his parents wanted him. That’s why they left him for dead. It’s a shame he was found but comes in useful as a slave and a punching bag, that’s all he will ever be good for. Sitting there listening I started shaking, he made me so mad I lost my temper running over and hitting him as hard as I could. Peter fell over so easily he’s still just a little girl. Paul and Chris grabbed hold of me, and I tried fighting back but with the 2 of them holding me I couldn’t do anything. Peter enjoyed beating me till I was bleeding in front of everyone. No one helped, not even the teachers. Walking away as if they hadn’t seen anything. Everyone knew that if you said or did anything against Peter, Alpha and Luna made sure to make your life difficult. After everyone had left Mary the dinner lady came over and helped me to a chair giving me food and a drink.
Mary’s a beautiful lady who helps me wherever she can. Mary can’t stop them from attacking me as she’s only an omega herself, but she cares for me like a mother. Always makes sure I have lunch and gives me extra to take home as she knows they don’t feed me at the pack house when I have school. When it’s the school holidays I’m only allowed to have lunch and that’s not a lot. Alpha and Luna want to keep me weak as they both know if I’m at even half my strength I will beat Peter in a fight. They do not want that to happen, or no one will respect him as the next Alpha.
Getting home from school that day Alpha and Luna were waiting for me at the door to the pack house. This is going to be the worst beating I have ever had, Alpha grabbed me by my neck and slams me to the ground. Hearing a loud crunch, that’s one of my ribs breaking. Alpha drags me to the dungeon; I’ve never been there before. I tried freeing myself from his grip. NO, I don’t want to go in there. Luna kicks me in my broken rib causing me to cry out in pain. Once in the dungeons they threw me into a cell. Shackles me to the wall with silver around my wrists and ankles. It burns, yelling out in pain all they did was laugh at me. There are little spotlights in the ceiling as you go but no window no light from outside all you could smell is blood and urine, hear the screams of others down here. The doors are silver to stop people from trying to escape like that would be possible.
Alpha Luna Peter Paul and Chris took it in turns whipping me. It was a whip with silver beads on it they also dipped it in wolfbane. They whipped me until they had stripped all the skin off my back. I screeched, cried and begged them to stop. They laughed at me. Begging us to stop just shows how weak you are mutt. They left me there for a week and by some miracle I didn’t die.
