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

Chapter 3

***Ivy’s POV***

I had lost truck of time while in this cell. It felt like I had been in here for a month, there was no shower for me to wash all the dirt off my body and the only thing I could use to go to the bathroom was a small bucket in the corner. As the Gamma had said he had come back and collected me from the dungeon. I wasn’t sure if it had been a week or not but I was ready to leave this damp and cold cell forever. I was so hungry and I hadn’t believed that the Gamma would only bring that one tray of food for the amount of time I was in here, I regretted not eating it. As the Gamma came closer to my cell, he smile down at me like I was his favorite meal. I felt a cold shiver run down my spin, it was like my body was warning me to stay far away from him. I stood up not wanting to feel smaller then I already felt around him. I had to lean up against the wall, I felt so light headed from not eating. I heard Gamma John chuckle and I lifted my head to scowl at him.

”The Alpha wants to see you. Time to get to work.” He smiles and looks me up and down, his eyes had changed and all I could see was lust in there deeps, it made me feel sick. He unlocked the cell door and waited for me to move forward. When I didn’t, he opened the door and walked in. I looked at him in shock, I didn’t want him anywhere near me. He stopped in front of me and bent down so we were at eye level, he place his finger on my check and stocked my face.

“I’m going to have a lot of fun with you, you will be all mine.” He said with a smile. I had never been spoken to like that and didn’t know what to do. I started shaking and turned my head away from his touch. He growled and I heard a snapping sound, I looked back at him confused by the sound and saw that his hand now had crawls, he swiped his hand over my face so fast that I didn’t have time to react. I felt his crawls sink into my face. I squeaked and tried to move away from him but my back was already up against the wall. He grabbed a hold of my hair and dragged me out of my cell. I screamed and kicked at him trying to get my hair out of his grip, but he had wrapped it around his hand making it impossible for me to get out of his hold.

“Where are you taking me?” I whimpered as he pulled harder on my hair. I felt him let go and I fell to the floor, I winced as I touched the top of my head and looked up at him wanting to hurt him so badly.

”Shut up and move your arse, the Alpha is waiting for you.” He shouted at me. I was too afraid to move. John stepped closer to me and smiled, it made me shiver and I tried to move away from him again, but I wasn’t fast enough. He lifted me up by my hair again and brought me closer to his face, he traced his fingers down the scratches he had made. I flinched away at the pain and he growled slapping me across the face for moving away from him.

”I’m going to have so much fun with you my little she wolf.” He said whispering in my ear. I placed my hand on my check trying to stop the sting from his slap and whimpered, he rolled his eyes and throw me out of the dungeons. I landed on the ground hard knocking the wind out of me. He grabbed hold of my wrist and started dragging me away from the dungeons. I was happy to be out of there but scared of what was coming. I tried to pull away from him not wanting him to touch me anymore, but he tighten his hold around my wrist.

“If you try and escape you will be in a world of hurt much more then you already are in.” He growled tagging me harder. We walked for a few blocks and I could barely keep up with his long strides, as he dragged me through the Pack, I looked around trying to find someone that would help me but there was no one around, the Pack was quite literally a ghost town. As we got closer to the Packhouse I started to panic, I had no idea what it was like to live in a Packhouse and I was terrified. When we got to the front door Gamma John opened it and shaved me though making me trip and fall on my hands and kneels. I whimpered and tried to stand up, but John grabbed the back of my neck picking me up and shaving me towards a set of stairs.

“Walk mutt.” He growled gabbing my hand and dragging me all the way up to the second floor and down a long dark corridor. We stopped in front of a dark wooden door and he knocked. While we waited for a response, I looked up at him and he growled at me. I heard a small scream and the sound of someone being slapped come from behind the door and my mind started to race.

“Come in.” Growled a voice from behind the door. John chuckled at me and opened the door, pushing me into the room and making me land hard on the floor. I looked around the room and saw that Alpha Jack was standing in front of his desk. I noticed him quickly zip up his pants. I felt my stomach drop and I looked away feeling sick, that’s when I noticed a younger girl crouched in the corner of his office crying on the floor with her shirt off. I didn’t fully understand what was going on, but I new that the girl was hurt and needed help.

“That will be all Grace, you may go. I will see you later.” He smiled and watched the girl with hungry eyes ran out of his office. My heart started to race even more, and I quickly looked at the ground.

“Thank you Gamma John, you may go, have a set, Ivy.” He pointed to a chair that was just to the side of his desk. Gamma John nodded his head and slammed the door shut behind him making me jump. I quickly got up off the floor and walked over to the chair avoiding eye contact with Alpha Jack. I sat down and just steered at the ground.

“I have gathered your things from your house and moved them to your room that we have set up here in the Packhouse, you will have duties around the Packhouse that I expect to be finished on time everyday. Failure to complete them will result in punishment. You will be cleaning all the bedrooms as well as cooking and doing all the laundry for the Packhouse. Some of the other Omegas will help with the cooking and cleaning, but you will be doing all the laundry yourself. You will only need to cook breakfast and dinner as most of the Pack will either be at school or out patrolling the border during the day. Breakfast will be served at 6:30am sharp and dinner at 6:30pm. If you mess up or something is not completed in time, you will be locked in your room without any meals. Is that clear?” Alpha Jack said. My head was spinning with the amount of information that he was giving me. What did I do to deserve this? I don’t understand why no one believed that I hurt my family, I didn’t kill them and they all knew that, they were hiding something from me and I needed to find out what was going on. I just nodded my head and stayed silent. Alpha Jack stood up and slammed his fists on his desk. I jumped and held onto my hands so he wouldn’t see then shaking.

”When I tell you something, you are to reply with yes Alpha. Is that clear?” He snarled at me.

“Yes Alpha.” I whimpered. He walked around his desk and stood beside me. I didn’t move a muscle. He huffed and walked towards the office door.

“I will show you to your room, then you will start your duties. Breakfast has already been made so you don’t have to worry about that today. I will give you half an hour to clean yourself up.” He said opening his office door.

“Yes Alpha.” I stood up and followed him out of his office. We walked back down the stairs and headed towards the far north side of the Packhouse. We stopped in front of a metal door, Jack reached out and slid the lock open. He looked down at me and I just continued to steer at the floor. He opened the door and started to walk down the stairs, I followed him down slowly. I was starting to feel uncomfortable. What was he going to do to me. I felt myself start to shake. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs and turned to face me. He had a slight smile on his face and I looked at the ground.

”This is where you will be living.” He said pointing around the room. He continued to walk around the corner and out of my line of site. When I got to the bottom of the stairs I looked around. We were in a dark damp basement. There was a small cot on one side of the room with three industrial washing machines and dryers. Around the corner where Alpha Jack was standing was a small bathroom with a shower with a small tub connected to it, there was a toilet and a sink on the other side. It wasn’t very big and looked like everything had been jammed in in a harry.

”Get cleaned up, then you can start your duties. The cleaning supplies are on the third floor in the cupboard near the stairwell. You will be in charge of cleaning my daughters room, it will need to be cleaned first thing every morning after breakfast, then you will clean the other rooms and the rest of the Packhouse. Dinner needs to be on the table by 6:30pm every night and breakfast at 6:30am before everyone leaves for the day.” He growled at me.

”Yes Alpha.” I replied. I watched him walk back up the stairs and slammed the door shut. I walked over to my small cot and sat down. I felt a tear run down my check as looked around my small cold room, I saw a small window above my cot and look out of it. I prayed to the Moon Goddess hoping that she would hear me.

“Moon Goddess, please hear me. Please help me though this.” I sighed and wiped my tear way. I knew that the Moon Goddess would not help me. I got up off my cot and walked over to the bathroom. I turned the shower on and went looking for a towel. As I walked back into the bathroom, I saw my reflection in the mirror for the first time since I was taken to the dungeon. When I saw what I looked like I sucked in a sharp breath. I was covered head to toe in dried blood and dirt. I had a bruise on the left side of my check and a split lip from getting hit by Beta Luca, I turned my head to the other side and saw that I had a deep scratch from Gamma John on my right cheek. I turned away from the mirror and I quickly hopped into the shower, the warm water felt good on my sore body but the water also hurt my face, I quickly washed all the blood out of my hear and off my body. Once I was clean, I hopped out and wrapped the towel around me. I walked out of the bathroom and looked around for something to wear. I saw a black garbage bag beside one of the dryers, I walked over and opened it, it was all my old cloths that I thought I got rid of, most of them were too small for me. I went through it and found a pair of old black tights, some underwear, a bra and an old shirt. I got dressed and walked back over to the bathroom to brush my hair. looked at myself in the mirror again and sighed. I never thought of myself as beautiful, I had long wavy red hear, bright blue eyes and pale white skin. I had a few freckles around my nose and full lips. My mum told me I was beautiful every time she looked at me, but I never believed her. I missed her so much. I started to tear up again, thinking about my mother and brother hurt so much. I heard Alpha Jack snarl my name making me jump and drop the hair brush on the floor. I picked it up and place it on the sink. I quickly tied my hair in a pony tail and raced back up the stairs to start the duties that the Alpha had given me.
