Ashleigh's POV.

I can hear the footsteps chasing after me. I'm almost there, I can see the edge of the woods. They're right there. Just keep running. You'll make it, just keep running, and you'll beat them. I looked back, and they were still following me. I can't beat them. It's seven against one. That never works out!! They'll catch up, and kill you. You have to make it, for mom. Keep running, you're gonna make it....

RING!!

RING!!

RING!!

RING!!

I groan as I roll over to turn off my annoying alarm clock. But I'm sort of glad it went off. I hate that nightmare. I don't want to go to school, but then again, what teen ever does?

Its not like I'll need the education. All I'm every going to do here is clean, cook, and be a living punching bag.

I am in the Dawning Eclipse pack. I'm the daughter of the rogue beta, and the deceased beta female. The only reason I am treated this way is because my pack found me, curled up next to my mother's lifeless body, with her blood on my hands. I had tried to stop the bleeding. That's the only reason I had her blood on my hands.

My father rejected me as his daughter, and took my twin brother, leaving me and my older brother with our (now) abusive pack.

I jump out of bed, and run to the shower. I wash up, and get dressed. I brush my hair, and toss it up into a ponytail, because the bruises around my neck are gone. For once.

As I run to get my morning chores done, one of the pack sluts shove me into a wall. All the sluts dislike me because according to them, I take all the Alpha's attention. Yeah, like me getting beat every night is taking his attention away from them. I still remember the first time I was whipped. It was also the "nicest" time.

Flashback

I cried out in agony as the whip lashed across my back. My back was already numb. It had been like that fire a while now, due to the shock I was going into. Alpha yanked my head back by my hair. "You're an abomination. You should've been killed the second you came into this world!" With that, he began to whip me ever more violently.

************************************

I shook my head. That was, apparently, Alpha Derrick being nice.

I grabbed my bag, and started to walk.

At school
**********

In school, things weren't much better. The pack teens, along with neighboring packs we had treaties with, went to Vernon High, or the teens who aren't old enough to go there, go to the middle school m

I got to my locker, and put my bag in, after I grabbed the things I needed for the next two periods, and went to class.

I walk into English, and walk to my desk. My brother, more like guy-who-doesn't-remember-me-and-beats-me-regularly, comes up behind me, and smirks. "Your neck doesn't have any bruises. I'm going to have to change that, once we get home, aren't I?
