ESCAPING THE DARK ALPHA

Betrayed

Aurora's pov

One week later

My wounds have healed but not completely, it does hurt now and again but it isn't something which I'm not used to.
Eversince I was a little girl I've gotten used to the beatings which were given to me by my father and siblings,
The scars all over my body proves it.

"There's someone here to see you"
Hailey spoke, pulling me out of my reverie.
My forehead puckered as I stared at Hailey wondering who's this person that wants to see me.

Who is it? I asked.
Hailey smiled. Why don't you come see for yourself. She said.
I sighed. Fine! I woke up from the bed and walked to the door, my eyes lit up and I smiled brightly.

Hannah! I squeeled, rushing towards her and embracing her in a hug.
Relief washed over me seeing that she was alive and well. This entire time I was worried, thinking she was dead.

As soon as I wrapped my arms around her, I notice how her body went rigid, she slowly took a step backwards, scowling at me.

Hannah however didn't seem to share the same excitement as I did, when she saw me, she looked at me as if I were below her.
I nervously removed my hands away from her and shot her a tight lipped smile.

I'm glad you're alive and well. I spoke.
"Well unfortunately I can't say the same for you!" she snorted, narrowing her eyes at me.
Ryan told me about the way he beat you up and you were almost going to die but then the alpha showed up and saved you.

I stared at her puzzled. Who's Ryan?. I asked.
"My mate" she smirked.
Your mate is the one who wanted me dead? I asked just to confirm what I'm hearing is actually true.

Yes he is and I feel terrible for what he's done to you.
Do you? Because to me it doesn't seem like it. I've noticed something about you. you've completely changed into a different person. And why is that? I questioned watching her curiously.

You're family is the reason. She snarled. Do you have any idea what was happening to me?
What do you mean?. I sometimes wished I were you because you weren't the one who was getting beaten up almost every hour. I said.

Well you were the lucky one and not me Aurora. I was raped not once but countless times not only by your evil brother but also by your ruthless father.

I stare at her shocked. How come I did not know of this? Why didn't you tell me?
What could you have done?. Save me? Tell them to stop? Or kill them?. She snickered.

But I would have done something to help. I'm not a coward to simply just stand and watch someone being hurt. If you told me this sooner I would have sort help from Sarah, she would have helped us escape from the pack.

She let out a humourless chuckle and narrowed her eyes at me.
"You couldn't help yourself when you was almost beaten to death how on earth would you have possibly helped me? And escape?"

"You're useless Aurora, you're nothing but a weakling no wonder your family despised you"

I stare at her with wide eyes. I can't believe this is happening? My best friend, the only person who I trusted completely backstabbed me. I remember what my mom told me a few days before she could die.

"Never trust anyone until they have proven to you that they can be trusted"

My mom was right. I should never have trusted Hanna so easily because she has never proven me to trust her.
I guess because she was an omega like me and I had absolutely no one  I thought maybe she could be trusted.

"I will make sure you will be punished for what your father and brother has done to me" she threatened.

It isn't my fault. I had nothing to do with it. Whatever they've done has absolutely nothing to do with me. I don't know why everyone's blaming me for Michael's wrong doing!

"I don't care but trust me Aurora I will make sure you suffer worse than I did, starting from now" She smirked as she she turned on her heels and walked away.

A so wracked through me as I fell to the ground and began sobbing uncontrollably. I now felt betrayed and hurt. I trusted her and cared for her as if she were my own sister but here she is blaming me for everything Michael has done to her. I have nothing to do with it in fact I'm also a victim of his abuse.

A warm hand encircled me gently picking me up from the ground. Hailey took me in her arms. "It's going to be okay" She cooed rubbing my back in a soothing manner.

I shook my head. It's far from okay. My life is over, I don't know which day is going to be my unlucky day that I might end up being killed because of my father's wrong doings. I croaked.

***

The following morning I was dressed and ready to perform my duties once again as a slave.
Hailey and I joined the rest of the Omega's and strode into the massive pack house and into the kitchen.

You're the new girl I suppose?. A gruff voice questioned. I whipped my head around and saw an older woman  approach us.

Yes I am. I replied. Hailey, you're filling in for Amy today.
You, new girl dishes now. She ordered, pointing towards the sink.
I nodded in compliance.

I walk towards the sink where a pile of dishes were thrown. I began washing the dishes.

What are you filling in for?. I whispered to Hailey.
"To serve the alpha" She whispered back placing the food onto the tray.

I resumed to washing the dishes, this time harder and faster, in hopes of getting it done quickly and be given something else to do.

Hannah strode into the kitchen as if she owned it. I was totally surprised by her sudden change of demeanor, she no longer resembled the Hannah which I once knew. This person who she has changed too is now cold and cruel just like the others.

I notice she had this smug look plastered on her face as she glanced at me.
I watched her as she spoke in a rather hush tone to Mary.

"Aurora?" Marry called. I left the dishes midway and stood in front of her.
Yes?. I answered with my gaze dropped to the floor.
You will be no longer working in the kitchen instead from now onwards you're going to be working for Hannah at her house.
