The Blood King

(CH. 1) - Day Dreams and Nightmares

(Rose) POV

The things i've seen in life are nothing short of unpleasant, when I was 14 I was forced to watch my parents get murdered during a Vargulf attack, they forced me to watch as they tortured and assaulted my mother Infront of my father before killing them both, the same would've happened to me if my older brother Joseph did not show up with a few soldiers from our pack, when I turned 16 I did not receive my wolf, every werwolf recieves their wolf on their 16th birthday, usually their wolf would very depending on their family line, but I was one of the unlucky few that did not receive a wolf, this automatically marked me an Omega. As a result the rest of my family was demoted as well aside from my older brother, though that didn't spare him from the ridicule and snide remarks, I do my best to try and make up for my faults by taking whatever is thrown my way in life, that includes trying to survive the Alpha and his son, by no means would I say I am ugly, but I know I am not the pretties girl in this pack either, of all the girls and the Alphas wife they choose to harass me or give me a hard time. My two younger sibling are my entire world and are the only reason I continue to try so hard, they don't deserve the life they have gotten simply because I didn't receive my wolf, but that's not how pack rules work, these are rules that every creature must live by to keep the balance in our world and the human world, now that didn't mean packs would listen to rules on how they treat their pack members, all I could do was work hard so they might have a better future, which involved me getting up from my bed and starting on breakfast for the pack house to spare myself and my siblings a beating. My room was nothing specail, it had a mattress on the floor, a dresser, a closet with a missing door (courtesy of the Alphas son), and a curtain where my bedroom door would've been if I was not an Omega, Omegas are not permitted to have a door to their room because they are meant to be easily accessable whenever someone from the pack needs them, for any reason, and the Omega isn't allowed to refuse unless they want to be severely punished and most likely forced to do what was asked of them in the first place (within certain reasons), not every pack treats their Omegas so harsh but in this pack an Omega is not a person, merely an object to be used however the user sees fit. I get dressed in some simple jeans and a red tank top that looked like it had seen better days, I put on my black slipons and made my way to my siblings room that was connected to mine through a doorway, my little brother and sister were sprawled out on their beds, I gently shook them awake, "come on guys it's time to wake up, go to the showers and get ready for the day, if anyone comes in while you are getting ready link our brother" they both slowly got out of bed and we started our morning routines, for breakfast I would be making the basics, oatmeal with toast and bacon, sausages of a variety, eggs, pancakes, waffles, and crepes. Trust me when I say making all of this is no simple task, especailly when you consider just how many people I am feeding and they are all werewolves so that means three times the food, once it was all done I started getting everyone's cart ready as the other Omegas started walking into the kitchen, "you better hope that you didn't burn any of the food this time runt, the Alphas son was particularly angry last time" Ren another Omega that was favored by Alexander for her body, she had tits that looked like they were growing faker by the way and an ass that made her look like an Instagram model but that's werewolf genes for you. "Everything should be cooked to perfection" she scoffed and grabbed Alexander's cart before strutting off, I don't know who she thought she was, she's an Omega like the rest of us regardless of her being above me as a wolf, she better hope none of the other pack members see how she acts around the other Omegas, she would be used to make an example infront of all the other Omegas, but with her being the strongest Omega we haven't really made the move to tell anyone, the othr Omegas walk up and grab the other carts at least being kind enough to not speak a word to me, not even look at me. 'Wow i really feel the appreciation for keeping our heads attached to our bodies and not giving them a reason to violate us' I roll my eyes as the last person exits the kitchen, i didn't bother letting it get to me and went upstairs to start cleaning from the top floor to the first floor, I was one of six omegas that weren't permitted to go to school, my siblings probably would've been the same if it weren't for my brother pulling some unknown strings, I am expected to clean the Alphas office, the Alphas sons' office, the Luna's office, their rooms, and every bathroom on every level, I was also responsible for the attic, cellar and cold cells. The cold cells are where the prisoners and pack members that are being punished go to be held captive, that was the worst job to have, because this also meant that you had to take care of any dead bodies that had been chucked in the burning room, I was usually the one cleaning the cold cells so me handeling deadbodies is a regular thing, I always left that as my last task of the day, it made getting through the day easier, as I started getting my supplies together my brother and sister ran up to me to give me a hug before school, I squeezed them close "you guys stick together when you're outside of class okay, do not forget our promise to eachother" they nod, "we'll see you after school don't worry Rosie" my brother Drake said. "C'mon ruby we're going to be late getting to our bikes before the rest of the pack leaves" he grabs Rubys' hand and takes off towards the door, "bye Rose!" she yelled before they could get out the door, I start on my rounds of cleaning and did my best to avoid any of the other pack members, some aren't as harsh as others but that doesn't mean any of them are ever nice, time was slow to go by as well, today I was beating my record of having almost all of my day tasks done before I even needed to start on lunch for the pack members that no longer went to school or skipped, I was going to make simple finger sandwiches with chips and fruit with some veggies for the younger pack members and charcuterie boards for the adult pack members working in their office, stew for the pack members working the border and anything outside of the pack house was my way of giving thanks, since a majority of the soldiers leave me alone. As I finished cutting the ingredients for the stew two of the younger female omegas came running in whispering amongst each other, "I know I can't believe the alpha didn't start to prepare sooner if royalty is making an appearance" I stopped mid chop and turned to them, "excuse me for interrupting but what did you just say?" she laughed, "the Alpha just gave out a mindlink letting the pack know that the Royal family would be making an appearance tomorrow with the new king, supposedly it's his first official act of naming an Alpha so they plan to make it an even bigger event than it was, but of course you wouldn't know that, you're not even a real wolf, i'll never understand why the Alpha and his son even bother with you" they snickered as they grabbed a tray and walked off, I had to clench my jaw to keep myself from throwing insults. 'you and me both bitch' I thought as I finished up the food and set up the rest of the trays, the other Omegas came in one by one to grab a tray and deliver it, I was expecting them to all be delivered but felt a harsh tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Ren standing there with a sour face, "Alexander has instructed you to bring his meal up to his office" she practically shoves the tray into my arms and storms off, I couldn't understand why she fealt threatened by me when I have made it very clear I am not interested in that pig, 'time to take the hog his meal' I rolled my eyes and walked up the service stairs to the floor beneath the attic, at the other end of the long hallway was a set of black double doors with a gold plaque above them that said "Alexander" I hated those doors, they were just a reminder that an asshole sat in that office, someone that didn't deserve the privilege he got, I gently knocked on the door, silently praying he had changed his mind and wanted his usual toy with him, "come in" I heard his voice from behind the doors, he sounded angry. I opened the door and slowly pushed the tray in, "set it over there next to the couche" he growls out, he's standing Infront of his fireplace with a paper in his hands, it has the packs hospital seal in the corner in gold, a color for celebration, it would seem that our soon to be alpha would already be expecting a child, "why are pathetic women so easy to breed, and then there's you that won't even willingly give me a taste!" he roars as he throws the paper into the fire before turning towards me, I didn't like the look in his eyes, "you are the lowest in this pack but my father is obsessed with you, and you aren't even his real mate, for all we know you could be mine" I try to quickly pull his food from the cart and serve it before he gets any closer, he was already removing his tye, the feeling of fear and disgust began to rise in me to the point I could feel it gripping the back of my throat, where was my brother when I needed him, he is this assholes best friend after all.
