Fated to the White Wolf: Book 1 The Lotus Pack series

Chapter 4

***Ivy’s POV***

It’s 4am when my alarm goes off, starting another day to this horrible week which just matches the other days I've been having ever since the attack on my family. The Alpha would remind me everyday that I was lucky to be with him and not out as a rogue. It has been a month and a half since my family die and I still haven’t found anything about what happened that day. I switch my alarm off and grab my towel, I have a quick shower to wash away the sleep from my body. Once I’m finished, I brush my teeth and walk to the rack where the clothes I've washed for the Alpha's family hang and grab one of the only two t-shirts I have, a pair of tights and socks to get dressed for the day. I head to the kitchen and start making breakfast for the Packhouse. I start with pancakes then move on to making eggs and bacon all the while squeezing oranges to make sure the warriors have something to drink with their breakfast. It takes around an hour to two to have everything ready, the Alpha hasn’t assigned anyone to help me in the kitchens yet. I start hearing movement from up stairs which meant that it was time to start serving breakfast. I quickly place all the food on the table and stand in the corner until I am called.

“Pancakes again Ivy, you made those like a week ago. Try mixing it up a bit would you?” Luna Mary says as she sticks her fork in her food.

“Honestly it’s like you want us to kick you out.” She snorts.

“Now now Luna, where would she go? She has no wolf, no education and not even a body worth looking at.” Gamma John says as he smiles and walks over to me, putting his hands on my shoulders, rubbing down them then lifting then up above my head.

“Look, you see all skin and bones.” He drops my arms and walks away to his seat.

“Ivy go and get my daughter up and bring her down here for breakfast and you better hurry, she’s got school in half an hour and I don’t want her to be late.” Luna Marry barked her orders and I rushed off to wake her up. I arrived at her door and knock quietly and waited for a response but nothing came. I pressed my ear against the door to see if she was already awake, as I didn’t really like being around her. I couldn’t make anything out so I knocked on the door again.

“Brittany your mum wants you down at breakfast.” I called out.

“I am awake I will be down soon.” she called out to me. I shrugged my shoulders and I walked back down the stairs to my room, I wasn’t needed until everyone had finished their breakfast. I laid down on my cot and looked out of mu tiny window. I kept telling myself things would change as soon as I got my wolf. I could escape this place and never look back. I sighed and got up off my cot, I walked over to the dryer and took out the towels that I had put in last night.

“IVY!” I heard Alpha Jack roar my name through the Packhouse making it shake a little.

“Get your sorry arse up here now!” I dropped the towels that I was in the middle of folding and quickly raced up the stairs nearly stumbled over. I entered the kitchen to find the Alpha Jack and Brittany standing over the bench looking at something. Brittany was tall and beautiful, she had long blonde hair, dark green eyes and tanned skin just like her mother, but compared to her father they looked nothing alike. Jack had dark brown hair with blue eyes just like mine and pale skin. You wouldn’t think that they were related just by looking at them.

“Yes Alpha?” I asked and looked down at the floor in submission. I hated doing this but I learned in the fist week here that looking into the Alphas eyes while he talked would earn you a paunch in the face.

“Ivy, I'm only got to ask this once, did you take anything from Brittany’s room when you cleaned it last night?” He gave me a cold stare with is piercing blue eyes. My mind started racing trying to think of what I took out of her room last night.

“The only think that I took out of her room was her clothes to wash them Alpha.”

“She must be lying, she is the only one that was in my room yesterday.” Brittany scowled at me, I was confused, what did she think I took.

“Ivy Brittany is missing her gold ring, she thinks you have taken it. I will need to check your room.”

“What, why would I take your ring?” I said looking at Brittany. She held my gaze for a moment and I thought I saw a flash of sadness go across her face, but then I looked at Alpha Jack who had a slight grin on his face, It made me a little uneasy.

“Ivy, as punishment you will not have any food for the next three days, thievery will not be tolerated around here. You’re lucky that you don’t get the whip.” Without out another word he walks out of the kitchen and leaves me alone with Brittney.

“Watch yourself Ivy, the next thing you take from me will be your last.” I rolled my eyes and turned my back on her walking out of the kitchen. I headed back to my room to finish the washing. I was so mad. As I got down to my room I walked over to my bed and noticed something sitting on it. I was a tin, I opened the lid and gashed, it was full of food with a note. Keep this hidden from the pack don’t let the Alpha know you have it, it will help you get though the days that you won’t be able to eat. I look around my room to see if anything was different, but it looked the same, I closed the lid and stash the tin on top of the shelve in my bathroom making sure that you couldn’t see it. I looked at the note again trying to figure out who had left it, but there was no name and I couldn’t figure out whose writing it was, I placed the note under my pillow with a smile and finished with the laundry.
