Last Chance At Redemption

Same S**t, Different Day

Raven's POV

“Wake Up”

“WAKE UP” I hear a voice as if it is far away, but I feel as if I’m stuck a nightmare that I just can’t seem to escape.

“YOU WORTHLESS B***H” Is the last thing I hear before I’m kicked in the stomach.

I see the Alpha's son staring down at me as I finally open my eyes, even though my vision is completely blurred by the tears I am now trying to hold back. I hold onto my stomach curling immediately into a fetal position hoping that the beating is over fast, but the blows never come.

“Get your worthless a** upstairs so you can help the rest of the omegas. Who the hell do you think you are?” Liam shouts at me.

I’m too dazed to answer but I quickly sit up and it’s enough for Liam to go away. He is Alpha Michael’s son and our future alpha. He has always been an a**hole to me for as long as I remember, but has never been down to the basement to harass me before. Especially not to wake me up as I am always up by 5am. I start to wonder what time it is and look at the small alarm clock next to my old mattress on the floor. It’s 6:15am! I quickly get up and begin to pick up the rags I was using as a blanket. I quickly change into one of my torn T shirts and leggings and look in my small, shattered piece of mirror for approval.

My name is Raven and I live in the Silver Spring Pack. I am 5’0 and have a pale complexion. My hair is dark black, which is why I was given my name and my eyes are a bright shade of green. Unfortunately, they don’t look so nice because of the dark circles under them. I have a bruise around my eye from getting kicked in the face by the alpha’s daughter yesterday, but it seems to be healing ok. I am pretty small for a shewolf but I can tell that if I gained a little weight, I would fill in nicely. Now, I’m pretty much skin and bones except for my breast which are a little too big for my frame and my round butt. I have been at the Silver Springs pack since I was about a year old but I’m not a member of the pack so I can’t mind link with anyone.

The Betas family found me in the woods after my parents and a group of rogues they had been traveling with were eliminated by the high council for threatening the packs nearby. The Betas wife could not go through with killing me and decided to bring me back to the pack. Upon arrival, she expected the Alpha would allow her to keep me but she had been wrong. He allowed me to stay within the pack on the condition that I help the other omegas around the packhouse in order to earn my stay when I was old enough to work.

I have been paid $25 every week since I was 9 and allowed to attend the local high school. I have been saving my money so that I can leave the pack on my 18th birthday. The Alpha and Luna aren’t cruel to me per say but they ignore me and how others treat me as if I didn’t exist.

Most of the pack also ignores me as if I am nothing and I don’t have any friends even at school. I have a cat named brownie that Kelly allowed me to keep after I rescued from the snow during last winter. The only condition being that no one else sees her or they may hurt her. Luckily Brownie is a lazy cat and doesn’t care for the outside world even when I do let her out on some nights. She has a long and thick coat. She is all black and has piercing green eyes kind of like mines. She sleeps with me and even listens when I talk to her. Sometimes I feel like she is more human than some of the pack members here.

I make my way upstairs without even brushing my teeth and head straight towards the kitchen.

“There you are” Ms. Louis says. She is the head omega in charge of managing the daily tasks around the packhouse. “You were supposed to have the bread baking in the oven by the time we got here this morning and have failed to do your task. Luna Marie has heard about your mistake and has taken away your meal for the day” She scolds at me, but I can see in her eyes that she doesn’t feel too good about making me starve.

Me and Ms. Louis aren’t particularly close but she is the closest thing to a mother figure that I have had in the pack. I stayed with her until I was 9. On that day, I was forced to go into the basement after someone complained that Ms. Louis was giving me special treatment. She checks up on me from time to time and always makes sure that I am doing OK.

Maybe if I work extra hard today and complete my chores on time, she’ll sneak me something small to eat. My stomach was growling as I had also had me meal taken away yesterday and thrown on the floor.

The Alphas daughter, Tina had accused me of staring at her boyfriend and trying to seduce him. He was one of our top warriors but duller that a butter knife with rust around it. Little did she know that I found him absolutely gross, and I would much rather w***e myself to the entire pack than spend a minute with him. He is a disgusting pervert. He sometimes waits for me to be alone so he can corner me promising to take my virginity when I turn 18. Luckily, I’ve learned to always stay close to Mrs. Louis so he can’t do that as often as he would like.

The Alpha and Luna saw the display yesterday and looked at me as if I was the most disgusting thing they had ever seen. Neither of them spoke up in my defense even though I hadn’t even looked up during the dinner service and they knew it. I made my way to my room last night around midnight after finishing my chores plus the extra ones I was given for my disobedience and cried myself to sleep after hours of praying to the moon goddess to take me from here.

I can’t wait for my wolf to emerge on my 18th birthday so I can finally leave this place. Unfortunately for me, I don’t even know when that will be as no one knows the day I was born. I have never had a birthday party or any type of time off like the other omegas are given because of it but I know that even if I did know the date, they still wouldn’t care enough to be so kind anyways.

The other omegas are treated way better than me even if they are maids because they belong to the pack and do their part in the hierarchy. I am an outcast who should be grateful to be alive and given a place to stay according to Tina and Liam. The only person to ever show me any type of care is the female beta, Kelly.

She is the one that found me and occasionally gifts me with clothes that no longer fit her daughter Marianne. Marianne and Tina best friends so I hardly ever wore the clothes I was gifted, only on rare occasions where it was completely necessary to look presentable such as when our pack had important visitors or parties were held. Tina would always recognize the clothes and make fun of me for wearing handy downs. Marianne wouldn’t chime in but wouldn’t defend me either. She was never cruel to me but didn’t speak to me in public to avoid the embarrassment.
