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

Chapter 6

***Ivy’s POV***

I woke in a rush looking around my room trying to figure out what had woken me up when I locked eyes with Rachelle, I squeaked and jumped back wincing a little from the jolt. The pain killers were defiantly wearing off.

”What are you doing down here, you gave me a bloodily heart at-,” She covered my mouth with her hands before I could finish. Rachell chuckled at me.

“Shh, your going to wake everyone up. Eww Ivy that gross.” She says as I licked her hand. I chuckled at her and moved to the side of my cot.

”Where have you been?” I say a little angry with her for not being here.

“I’m sorry that I made you worry but I have been packing, I’m leaving tonight and you're coming with me.” I looked at her in shock.

“Are you mad, if you try to leave and the Alpha finds out who knows what he will do to you.” I told her in a rush a little panicked. I didn’t want her to get in trouble, I couldn’t lose her, she was the only family I had in this stupid Pack and who knows what Alpha Jack would do this time if she tried to ran away.

“Calm down Ivy, I’ve found my mate.” She said excitedly putting her hands on my checks to calm me down. I looked up at her.

“How did you find him?” I asked confused.

”I met my mate at school! He’s the Alpha I was talking to you about this morning, Alpha Nick. He came into the classroom before all the students got there, as soon as I looked into his eyes my wolf said mate. I was sure he was going to reject me, but he didn’t he smiled and held me in his arms. He asked me what Pack I belonged to and as soon as I told him I was part of Sky Moon he said he would get me out of there as soon as he could. I told him about you as well and he said that you could come with us, I’m so happy Ivy. He stayed for the whole day and walked me back to the Packhouse. That’s when he talked to Alpha Jack. He didn’t look to happy that I was mated to an Alpha, but he agreed and said that I could have time to pack my things and that Alpha Nick could pick me up this evening. Ivy I'm going to be a Luna. How crazy is that.” Rachelle jumped up and down excitedly but winced as she landed. She tried to hid it fixing her shirt and that when I noticed the bruise on her legs.

“Are you ok?”

“Yeah, I'm fine just had a little run in with Gamma John.” She say looking anywhere but at me.

“Rachelle what did he do to you?” I asked in a panic.

“Don’t worry about it I'm fine, come on let’s go.” She grabbed a hold of my arm and pulled me out of my cot, The room spin and I felt like I was going to pass out. I groaned in pain and grabbed a hold of my side with my other hand. Rachelle looked at me with worried eyes and let me go.

“Ivy, are you okey?” She asked looking me over.

“I’m fine, nothing to worry about.” I say sitting back down on my cot. Rachell came and sat down beside me putting her arm around me.

“I’m sorry that I wasn’t here this afternoon, an Omega told me what happened, I can’t believe Brittney locked you in your room, but you won’t have to worry about that now because you're coming with me.” She smiled and I nodded my head.

“Come on lets get moving, Nick is waiting for us out the front, if we want to get you out of here as well we have to leave now so get your stuff.” Rachelle says as she stands up and looks around the room. She see a bag near the dryer and started filling it up with my things. She stops and looks over at me with a scowl.

“What happened to your face?” She asks and I can see the worry in her eyes. I sighed and stood up slowly making sure the room didn’t spin.

“The Luna kicked me in the side and got me in the face because I shot my mouth off at her, but her brat of a daughter pushed me down the stairs earlier and locked me in my room. Don’t worry about it, I'm fine.” I told her, groaning from bending over. She grabbed my hand and squeezed it.

“Come on we have to go now before they notice you have gone.” Rachelle smiled at me. I packed up what little things I had left and put them in the bag. We started running up the stairs trying to be as quiet as we could. We were almost to the door when it slid open so fast that Rachelle and I jumped back. I gasped and pulled Rachelle behind me. Rachelle grabbed hold of me like I was her lift line. Alpha Jack growled and stepped in front of us, he pushed me to the side and grabbed hold of Rachelle's wrist ripping her away from me, he then looked at me and roared pushing me back. I gasped and started to fall down the stairs, I heard Rachelle scream my name as Alpha Jack slammed the basement door shut and slide the lock stopping me from tiring to get out. I hit the cold hard ground with a thud and screamed in pain. I could hear Rachelle shouting my name, I tried to get up to get to her but I couldn’t move, I couldn’t catch my breath, the amount of pain radiating though my body from the fall and the abuse it went through this afternoon was unbearable. I felt blood trickle out of my nose and mouth and new it was only a matter of time before I would pass out. I just laid there with tears in my eyes looking out the small window trying with all my might to stay awake.

”Moon Goddess if you can hear me, please take this pain away, I can’t do this anymore. Please make sure Rachelle is safe with her mate and will never go through what she has gone through here. Please give her all the happiness in the world.” I felt the tears run down my checks, I was going to miss her so much. I laid on the basement floor praying to the Moon Goddess all night until I eventually passed out from the pain. I heard the lock to the basement door slide and the door open. I looked out the window and realized it was quite late in the afternoon. I moved my head slowly towards the door hopping that it was Rachelle coming to get me, but it wasn’t. Alpha Jack and Luna Mary walked through the door and stopped halfway down the stairs. I thought I worry in Luna Mary eyes but i must have been seeing things.

”How dear you try and leave this Pack after all we have done for you.” Alpha Jack growls at me. My ears were ringing and my vision started going blurry.

“You will be locked in here until tomorrow night. Once you are out you will cook dinner and do all your duties, you will go without any food until breakfast the next day. Do I make myself clear?” Alpha Jack boomed in his Alpha voice.

“Yes Alpha.” I whispered and watched them walk back up the stairs slamming the door shut behind them. After they left, I slowly picked myself up off the cold floor and walked into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I saw sad blue eyes staring back at me. I had dried blood on my forehead and my chin, the blood had run down my face and mixed in with my tears. The bruise above my right eye was bigger now thanks to the stupid Alpha pushing me down the stairs. I took off my shirt and winced. I was black and blue all over my stomach and back, I had and open wound on the back of my arm from trying to grab a hold of the railing to stop myself from falling down the stairs. I turned the shower on and hopped in. I sat at the bottom of the shower and cried, once I felt the shower starting to go cold, I washed all the blood off my face and hair. I got out and wrapped a towel around me, I walked over to my cot and laid down. I couldn’t be bothered putting clothes on, it hurt too much to lift my arms up and the cool air was helping the pain. I remember then that I had pain killers and took some of them. I looked out of my tiny window and noticed that it was starting to get dark. I pulled the blankets over myself and began crying again. I have never let anyone see me cry not since the attack, not ever Rachelle.

“I can’t take this anymore.” I cried into my pillow and slowly started to fall asleep. The next night they let me out. I walked slowly up the stairs, and I began cooking. I was making pasta and chicken, something simple as I was still too sore to stand up properly. I cooked the chicken in the oven. While the chicken was cooking, I put the pasta in some water and put it on the stove. I cut up some vegetables and placed them to the side. Once the chicken was cooked, I shredded it and put it to the side to cool. When the pasta was finished cooking, I drained the water and placed it back on the stove. I placed the shredded chicken and chopped vegetables in the pasta. I poured in some creamy sauce and mixed it all together. I let it simmer for 10 minutes. When all the cooking was finished, I place the food into serving dishes and placed them on the dining room table. I quickly cleaned all the cooking dishes and went upstairs to clean all the rooms while everyone was eating. When I heard some of the Packhouse walking up the stairs, I put all the cleaning supplies away and walked back to the kitchen to finish washing up the rest of the dishes. Once everything was clean and tidy, I walked back to my room. I was so tired and hungry that I had a quick shower and went to bed. The next morning, I was still quite sore, the bruises were slowly starting to go down and I could move my body a little faster. I wasn’t going to cook something to hard, I was so lightheaded and dizzy from not eating for two days that I was a little slower than I usually was at getting breakfast ready. While the bread was in the oven, I started cooking the hash browns, sausages, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon and some cut fruits. I was so hungry that my stomach started to hurt. I snuck a bit of the cut fruit and quickly ate it. I put all the food on the table and once everyone was seated and eating, I stood to the side waiting for my orders from the Alpha.

“Ivy, come here.” Luna Mary demanded.

”How can I be of assistance Luna?” I asked trying not to roll my eyes at her.

“It's your 19th birthday this weekend am I right?” She asks.

”Yes.” I said.

“Good. I need you to plan Brittney's birthday. She is turning 21 and will receive her wolf. I need you to send out all the invites, plan the food and make sure the Packhouse is spotless. The guest will be staying the night, so you will need to cook breakfast for them as well. The party is in three weeks, so you have a week to send out the invitations and set up the menu for the party, I expect that everything is perfect for Brittney. You will not be having the day off on your birthday because of what you did two days ago.” She told me. I nodded my head and looked down at my hands telling myself not to cry in front of everyone.

“Good, now that that is taken care of you may go and start the cleaning and washing.” Alpha Jack growled at me.

”Yes Alpha.” I nodded and walk out. I was looking forward to having my birthday off, but that's not happening anymore. I walked down to the basement to start on the washing. As I stepped off the bottom step, I felt a shooting pain erupt behind my temples and hunched over cradling my head in my hands. I whimpered and walked over to my cot, I laid down and closed my eyes for a bit.
