I lay in my bed, listening to the crappy music coming from my alarm clock.

"Great." I said as I made my self get up and put on my cleanest maid's outfit. I brushed my long red curly hair and pulling it into a half up half down due and quickly put on a light eyeliner and blush so I don't look like death. I stare at my reflection, hating my pasty skin that had freckles all over it. My hair so frizzled and dead at the ends , and the bags under my eyes getting darker by the day.

"You're Pathetic" I said to myself in the mirror, my wolf growling at my comment disappointingly. I roll my eyes at her, grabbing my phone and earbuds before walking out the door.

I guess I better introduce myself, My name is Noelle May Abrahams. I'm 17 and as you can probably tell my life is trash. You may ask yourself "why is a teenager a full time maid?" My parents unfortunately got taken from me when I was 8. I can still remember the night... Someone from a rival pack came to our territory and blazed our house in the middle of the night. My father and mother were the leaders of the Water Moon Pack. We lived in small corner of the world where everything was perfect... Or so it seemed. After the lose of my parents, the pack broke up and moved away.. leaving me an orphan. With no family and no where to go, I was found 3 days later in the woods by the alpha from the next pack over. Michael was a great man, and I was lucky enough to know him. Michael was also a great friend to my father. After he found me he immediately filled for full custody of me and treated me like his own... It wasn't until he passed away that caused my life to do another 360.

Michael's mate and Luna of the pack Genevieve, has always hated me, even as a child and I never understood why until Michael told me the story of how he and Genevieve became mates. She became my only life line when Michael passed away.. and unfortunately she used that as an excuse to take advantage of me and my "free labor" as she puts. She's horrible not only her, but their son Jordan... the new Alpha

*smack* Im taken out of my train of thoughts by the stinging and blood pouring out of my nose. I look down to see what hit me, I see the shattered coffee mug laying in pieces on the ground and looking right at me laughing is none other than Jordan.

"What the fuck Jordan!

Why would you do that?!" I said rushing to the sink holding my nose.

"Melody is coming over and I need you to clean my room. I called your name 3 times and you didn't answer me, next time fucking listen." he said as he picks up on apple.

"You never heard of taping someone on the shoulder? Like I think you broke my nose!"

I hear him laugh and come closer to me. Soon his chest was pressed up against my back, and I could feel his hot breath on my neck. "I can do whatever the fuck I want because we
own you." He says kissing my neck

"Get off my Jordan!" I whipped my body around trying to get him off, he just pushed his weight harder against me.

"you don't get to tell me-"

"JORDAN" he was cut off by Genevieve

"Don't touch this worthless trash, Melody will be here soon go get ready."

Jordan gets his weight off me "To be continued" he says
smirking and walking away.

Genevieve's eyes never left mine. Genevieve was actually a very beautiful women. She has long beautiful dark brown hair, with eyes so honey colored you are just drawn to them. She stands at about 5'7 and shes very curvy in all the right places. She constantly reminds me of my place in "her pack house." And that place is to work for them until I'm finally legal enough to be 18.. Which happens to be tomorrow thank the moon goddess. There is only a handful of people who know my birthday. That would include Michael, My parents Lawyer Miles & my best friend Alden.

Alden and I have been best friend's since we were born. Our moms met in Middle school, and they became inseparable the day they met. My mother didn't have the best relationship with her father, and he was a very mean man. Once Aldens mom knew about the abuse, she begged her parents to let my mother come live with them.. they did without hesitation & since that day, they never left each other. Our moms got married and then they ended up being pregnant at the same time, Aldens mom had her first, and I was born 4 days later.. so naturally Alden and I became inseparable as well. Aldens father was my fathers Beta, until they moved away from us. One year before the fire that took my parents, Aldens grandfather became very sick and only given a few months to live.. So Aldens family moved away to go take care of him and spend the time they can with him. Thankfully they only moved about an hour away.. so I still see Alden almost everyday.

I tried to avoid having to talk to Genevieve, but was unsuccessful.

"Don't think I don't see it Noelle, you won't ever be luna of this pack."

"Genevieve I-"

*Slap* I feel Genevieve's hand connect with my cheek

"I didn't ask for your lies and I don't care what you were going to say! Now clean up this shit on the floor. We have a very important guest coming tomorrow, and I will not be embarrassed by this house or you, do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal" I say thru gritted teeth as she walks away.

I clean up my nose and the dried blood around it, and quickly cleaned the rest of the kitchen. Once I finish, I grab an ice pack for my face and made my way to the attic. I open my door, kicking my shoes off to the side when I enter. My room is the only good thing I have going in my life, that and Alden of course. When Michael found me in the woods and brought me to live with them, he took me to get whatever I wanted to redecorate my new room. Michael and Genevieve only ever had Jordan, so when I came into the household Michael spared no expense on what I wanted in my room. A few weeks before he passed, him and I did an upgrade to it, and got brand new furniture again.. I would always tell him the same thing "you've done enough for me old man, this isn't necessary." and his answer would always be the same " Your the only daughter I get to experience, let me live a little." I smile a little at the thought of Michael.

Genevieve and Jordan wouldn't dare lay a finger on me while he was alive, he always took up for me when it came to her.. especially if it was to spend money on me. Genevieve and Michael weren't in love if that isn't obvious. Like Jordan, Michael was the future alpha in the pack, and he fell in love with a beautiful women named Darla. Darla and Michael were middle school sweethearts, and planned there whole future together waiting for both of them to turn 18. Once you turn 18, you become whole with your wolf. Growing up, you can feel your wolf but you can't talk to them or understand them.. just the occasional growl when they disapprove of something, but you don't get to transform or find out your special ability until you are 18, you also are at the age where you can find your mate. Michael said that Darla and him were a week apart, with Michael being older. The day he turned 18, he found his mate... but unfortunately it wasn't Darla, it was Genevieve. Michael wanted nothing to do with her because he was so in-love with Darla, and he knew who Genevieve was... Even then she was a nasty women. He begged and begged his father to let him end his mate link with Genevieve so he and Darla can be together, but he wouldn't allow it. He had to break up with Darla that day.. but he never stopped loving her. That's my last thought as I drift into an afternoon nap.


Thank you for reading the first chapter! It's my first story, I know this part was boring, but it gets better! Stick with me ☺️

Noelle is based off of Madelaine Petsch's character Cheryl Blossom from Riverdale. I'm not going to lie to you, I honestly haven't really found who Lyle is based off of.. just kinda my own little fantasy per se I guess, but I hope you enjoy it! xx
