HELEN.
“Get up, you slut!”
The shout as well as the echoing banging on the door startles me awake, causing me to fall face flat thanks to the upright position I had fallen asleep in.
Great.
What a wonderful start to a new day.
“I know you can hear me! Get up and show your face, slut!”
That is rich, coming from the resident slut herself. She must still be pissed about the rejection yesterday.
Frankly, I don't blame her.
I would be mad too if months of planning and excitement all went down the drain too.
I know she had been looking forward to having Levi, why she thought that was going to happen is beyond me.
She, as well as Tessa had been sending letters to the wolves, trying to ingratiate themselves into their good graces.
From what I saw yesterday, it didn't work.
If anything, it seemed to do the exact opposite. He was irritated with her.
“If you do not open this door, I am going to break it down! Do you hear me, Helen?!”
Oh wow.
She used my name.
This is serious.
I quickly head to the box by the window to pull out a pair of Jeans and a top. If this is going where I think it is, I need to be prepared.
Amidst the banging, I quickly get dressed, tie my hair into a tight bun, and begin putting the trunks aside.
I swing the door open at the exact moment she tries to run at it which results in her in an embarrassing sprawl on the floor, before me and the gathered crowd at the stars, watching for a fight.
Or more like a beat up.
This is nice.
“You!” she screeches as she gets to her feet, face flushed with embarrassment.
I don't respond, I just keep looking at her with my practiced dead goldfish stare.
“You took Levi from me!”
“I don't see how that is possible considering he is a future Alpha and I am just a mere omega,” I reply, my tone dead flat.
“Hah!” she scouts at that. “Do you expect me to believe that? That you had nothing to do with it?”
“I genuinely don't care what you believe Taylor, it doesn't matter to me.”
“You slut!”
“I want the one writing very descriptive letters to him for years, not was I the one chasing him around until he had to reject me. That was you. I wasn't even outside with you all.”
“That is true…”
“I didn't see her there…”
“How did he then find her…”
“Beats me.”
The whispered murmurs filter through my ears but I don't let it affect me. Taylor is in a sour and violent mood, and she can attack at any moment.
I can't let my guard down.
“Oh, you are so perfect, aren't you?” She mocks me. “Everything is beneath you. So brave and aloof. If you didn't want him, why did you sleep with him then?’
“I didn't.’
“You- what?!”
“I didn't sleep with him.”
“Don't lie to me!” she snarls. “I saw you. He was pressed up against you by the wall!” she screams.
“I know what you saw. I was there. Still, I didn't sleep with him.”
“What? Are you telling me he didn't want you anymore?”
“Sure, let's go with that,” I reply.
“You b***h. You think you are smart huh? I was waiting outside for him to show up. He didn't come out until past three and then he headed to the guest house. Are you telling me he spent all that time with you doing nothing?!”
Huh?
That is weird.
Where did he go then?
“I don't know what he did,” I tell her. “Not long after you showed up and left, he sent me away and I went to the attic. My doors locked, you saw that yourself. What he did after that I do not know nor care.”
“Liar!” she screeches before launching herself at me.
The thing is, I am the daughter of a well trained Beta, who believed his children both male and female should also be trained.
So unlike Taylor whose strengths lie in spreading her legs and being a catty b***h, I do know how to fight and defend myself.
A fact that works well for me now.
With a simple side step, I evade her outstretched hands, causing her to lose momentum and crash her pretty sneer face into a wall.
“Aaah! My nose. You broke my nose,” she cries as she turns to me, her hand covering a bloody nose.
“Technically, you broke your nose. I didn't even touch you,” I reply, still tone flat.
“b***h!” she screams as she once again launches herself at me.
Dumb b***h.
She never learns.
This time, I let her get within grabbing distance before moving away at the last second and then grabbing one of her hands and twisting it back.
Hard.
She drops to the floor with an anguished groan as she stares at me with bloody murder shooting from her eyes
“I am going to kill you, you slut!” she spits at me.
“Once again, I am not the slut, you are and secondly, I will like to see you try,” I say before taking a fistful of her and slamming her face hard against my knee.
She collapses to the floor in a whimpering mess as she grabs her face, body folded in the fetus position as she sheds pitiful tears.
“How dare you, you filthy omega!” a roar is heard before I feel hands grab at my hair.
I quickly maneuver my body so that I am facing the assailant -surprise, surprise, it is Tessa- before head jutting her in the face.
She instantly lets go of my hair as he grabs her face in pain.
“I already told you,” I say in a growl. “I don't sleep with him. What part of that sentence do your little brains have trouble comprehending?”
All around me, I see people looking at me with surprise and a hint of fear.
Yeah, I am sure they didn't expect the quiet, dirty, ignored omega to be capable of such violence
Normally, I am not, but these two had it coming.
And I am more than willing to give it to them.
“What is happening here?!” an authoritative voice roars, causing the crowd to and leaving me with the two groaning girls
I watch as Alpha Trenton, the Alpha of this pack walks into view with his son Theo, Levi, and another wolf by his side.
“Alpha,” Taylor cries as she crawls towards him. “It is that filthy omega, she hit us! She-”
“Shut up, Taylor,” he orders, not even sparing her a glance as he gives his stare at me. “Both of you get up and get out. You are embarrassing me and the pack.”
The girls stare at him in confusion, probably not understanding simple words.
I have always known these girls had problems.
“Did you hear me?! Get out!”
They both scramble to their feet and rush out of sight, the blood dripping to the floor as they go.
“Vicious and brave. You really are an enigma, aren't you, little wolf?” Levi says.
I don't say anything in response to that, my eyes on Alpha Trenton, the bastard who decimated my pack.
“And you,” he says to me. “Go get your things. You are leaving with Levi Hall.”
“What?!”
