Her secrets

"You good for nothing slob" I got smacked. this has been a regular occurrence. since my family died when I was eight, I've been taken in by the beta family. They were made beta after my parents and brother died in a tragic fall the summer after my eighth birthday. I was blamed. As a small child, I was so happy. I felt loved. I got whatever I wanted. it was a perk of being a higher ranking pack member. but after the accident, I have been treated like garbage. less than an Omega. my family and I grew up in the pack house. since their death, I haven't been welcome there. the beta family like a few miles from the house, close to the border. I have a room in the attic that I've been allowed to live in, after I refinished it, that is. it was all rafters and insulation when I got here. I've managed to find drift wood suitable for flooring and paneling. I've also managed to stitch a makeshift bed together by stuffing leaves and grass clippings into garbage bags. it's not that bad. the winters are cold. and the summers warm. but I stay busy and dry with a roof over my head. my name is Camille Louise StClair. I grew up being called Cami. but nobody calls me by my name anymore. it's harsh nicknames or slurs. I'm 15 now. nearing my 16th birthday where I'll hopefully find my mate. honestly I hope he's not in Raven Sun pack. or if he is, I hope he's an omega like me. I got smacked again for messing something up. when I turned 12 I was forced to become a pack slave taking on even omega chores so they had better quality of life. its fine though. not that bad. I cook. and clean the pack house. along with the laundry and groundwork. then I come home and do laundry and meal prep. I'm not allowed to go to school, or even train so I have the whole day. 430 am till around 1030 or 11pm. I go to pray and my families makeshift Graves any time I get done early. and yesterday was one of those days. my wolf Artemis and I went for a run. my daddy would have been so full of pride if he had gotten to see her. her yin yang colours and bushy tail alone would have left him awestruck. but her brilliant pink and blue hetochrome eyes would have caused a great shock. I miss them. "I don't know where you EVER got the thought that you could leave. even if you complete your daily duties, there are other things you could have done, murderer" I tense at the insult knowing I didn't kill my parents and that their bodies were never found just hurt me beyond. I feel deep in my chest that they're out there somewhere. but then it makes me sad because how could they leave me here being treated like this if they are alive. "I apologize sir. I only..." another slap. " I didn't ask you a question. your excuses will get you nowhere." Beta Carsen angrily growled at me. at least it's only slaps this time. last time I had broken ribs and a broken nose and two black eyes. my healing is fast for an omega. I think it's because of my beta blood. but I healed within a week of that beating. the scarring on my body that I was unable to heal would repulse anyone. "I apologize Beta." I sqeaked. "tomorrow is Alpha graham's sons ceremony. you are expected to go to the packhouse for the night to assist Luna Kashmir in getting things done. if ANYTHING goes wrong, I will Kill you. Ashir will be made the next beta and I do not need a nobody murderer such as yourself screwing anything up for him by making mistakes. do you understand me?" I nodded, and earned another smack. "I asked a question. I expect an answer. his face was now red in anger. "yes sir. I understand. I will go right away." I whispered. I went to my room to change to my only other outfit. a black men's t-shirt and men's jeans. they were big and I had to use a vine as a belt, but it was clothes. my good clothes, to look presentable in front of our Luna. I rushed to the packhouse sprinting. I tried sneaking in the service door to get a backhand to the face so hard I stumbled backwards seeing stars. "I don't know where you think, you can come and go as you please." she smugly said. "I'm sorry Luna. I came a quick as I could" she didn't say anything, only gave me a dirty look for this. "I need 2 full course meals prepped for 1200 by morning. breakfast and dinner. I have my service maids hanging decorations since you always mess it up. so cleaning and cooking are all you need to have done. don't dilly dally. get it done. no mistakes. we will have several other packs here witnessing my sons coronation" I internally rolled my eyes. I had only met the alphas son once since I got my wolf. when I was 13, I was cleaning the food hall and he had come in. it was only brief but even then he was large and handsome. his black hair and lavender eyes drew me in, even from across the roo.. I apologized for my presence and earned a beating for looking at him too long, once the Luna walked in and seen. he stared at me as well. he was 16 then. he's turning 19 tomorrow and is still unmated. it's his alpha ceremony. I'm expected to cater, but nothing else. this is going to be a long night.
