Bullied By Her Alpha

Molly: The Lagoon

I was so giddy when it was time to finally let go of the trauma and turmoil I'd been facing since my beau died.

No one was going to have me, not with the way I carried myself--sullen and solemn, with my nose always in a book.

I wasn't that pretty, or at least I didn't think I was. The last time I'd even wanted to be out of my room was when I was with Devin and now?

Now he was gone. My Dev was never coming back. He wasn't my mate. At that point in our lives, we seemed to old as if there couldn't have been one for us.

Henry would pick on us, Henry being a close friend to us both. Henry was a scrawny kid and the last time I'd seen him was when he was sent off to boarding school for behavioral issues.

The only things that made me happy besides books and music were Henry, Devin, and going to the lagoon.

Henry changed, though. He became a tyrant--a big bully...a kid who knew he could get away with way too much simply because his father was an Alpha and my beau was an Omega.

Devin died protecting me and I could never forgive myself for accidentally wandering into their territory.

I thought I caught someone spying me while I splashed around. I didn't want to go to the ball.

I got out of the water and dressed, wringing out my hair and reluctantly headed back inside.
