The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 2

Tessa's POV

I woke up the next morning at 8 am. I hardly slept the night before. I kept telling myself to be strong but there was still fear inside of me.

I rolled out of bed and I looked in the cracked mirror. My eyes were swollen and I looked terrible. Then I remembered what today was. It was my 18th birthday. I knew nothing would change.

I put on some clothes and I went downstairs. Andy and Zenna weren't here yet. So I decided to make myself a sandwich since everyone was sleeping and I was starving since I had no dinner.

I hardly ate. Zenna told me I was too skinny but what was I supposed to do. I mean maybe I was but I wasn't anorexic. I made myself a ham sandwich and then Andy walked in.

"The birthday girls up early today. Happy birthday sweetheart." He says and kisses my forehead.

"Thank you" I tell him with a tight smile.
I wasn't in the mood today. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me up.

Zenna walked in and ran over to me. She hugged me tightly and she kissed me all over my face.

"Happy birthday beautiful. I hope something amazing happens to you today." She says .

"I doubt it." I say no longer wanting to eat anymore.

I got up and helped Andy make breakfast. My mother was obsessed with healthy food. So everything we cooked had to be 100 percent organic.

I knew my father and my siblings hated it. But they were too scared to say otherwise.

I set up the dining room table and each one of my family members came down to eat.

They were all talking amongst themselves and ignoring me as I served their food. Usually Zenna did this but she was tired from yesterday's cleaning.

"When are you going to go see the alpha about her?" My mother asked.

"As soon as we finish eating. The sooner the better." My father says.

"I think we should just leave her there even after the alpha leaves." Cammi says sarcastically.

"Don't tempt father." Calvin says jokingly and I see my parents looking amused.

I felt my eyes tearing up and I walked into the kitchen and straight outside for some fresh air. Breathe Tessa,  breathe.

I stay outside until they finish eating. I can't go through that again. It felt like someone ripped my heart out and threw it under a bus and then fed it to sharks.

I go back inside after half an hour and I clean up the table. I heard my mom telling Zenna that she wanted the windows to be cleaned so they looked shiny for the alpha that was coming.

My pack is so fake. I hope the alpha rejects them. But before he rejects them he makes them suffer while they do his drills.

I didn't feel a pound of sympathy towards my pack. They didn't deserve it. They deserve all the bad in the world.

I sighed. It seems I've been doing that a lot lately. When will my life turn around. When when when I wanted to scream.

I hear Zenna calling me and I go help her clean the windows. We cleaned every corner in this house again. It was getting so boring and tiring.

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

We finished cleaning around 7 pm. I was so exhausted. Today my mom wouldn't let us sit down not even for a second. She drove us crazy. She made us clean inside and outside the house.
