Lukas POV
"Wake up Runt." My mom yelled.
I groaned and turned getting my glasses. I checked the time and noticed that it was only 5 am. I should be used to this but I went to sleep really late last night finishing all my chores.
"Hurry up runt, you have chores to do." My mom yelled again.
My mom won't come into my room since I was the runt of this pack. Yes I said pack, I am a werewolf. I am really short at 5 ft. 6", I am very skinny, pale and have emerald green eyes. That's the reason why I am the runt.
I got up and did my morning routine knowing that I won't be able to do anything later on.
Today is the Alpha's 18th birthday and since I'm the runt of the house, I have to make sure everything is clean and ready for the party tonight.
Today is very important for the Alpha, he is most likely going to find his mate.
I get out of my room and make my way to the kitchen. I start to make breakfast for everybody in the pack. Once I'm done everyone starts to come down and sit on the table. I serve everybody. As I am making my way to the kitchen one of the big goons trips me and I fall to the ground. Everybody started to laugh at me and I turned really red from embarrassment and ran to the kitchen.
"Hey Lukas are you ok," asks my best and only friend Olivia.
"Yes I am fine," I tell her.
I go on about my day and do all the chores I have to do. Then in the evening I make sure everything is ready for the party. I noticed that I haven't seen the Alpha all day today but I pay no mind to it.
As soon as I make sure everything is ready, I notice that there is people starting to show. That's my queue to start leaving because I am not allowed to party or "have fun" with the rest of the pack.
I have a special place where they appointed me to stay while this kind of events happen in the pack house so I start making my way over there. But as I am making my way over there 3 huge goons come and start pestering me.
"Where are you going runt?" one of the goons asked.
I ignore him and try to keep walking with my head down. Another goon puts his leg out and trips me and I fall to the ground.
"He asked you a question you filthy runt, now answer him!" Said the second goon. I tried to get up but they started beating me. Then I heard this mesmerizing, angel like voice coming from behind the three goons.
"Hey what's going on here?" said a commanding voice. But I didn't hear the rest because I blacked out.
Devin POV
"Hey what's going on here?" I said in my Alpha voice. The goons stopped what they were doing and looked up with scared faces.
I was really angry. Who did these goons think they were beating on my mate? I couldn't see my mates face because he was in a ball trying to cover himself.
I have been out since yesterday because my parent thought it will be a good idea if I got to see my mate for the first time in the party. They were hoping my mate was a pretty lady that can give me kids but what they didn't know was that I was gay.
"I asked a question. Which one of you is going to answer me?" I asked.
Goon number one decided to step up and say "we were just playing around Alpha. Besides no one cares for the runt so we were just showing him a lesson."
"Oh yea Alpha, what he said," agreed the other two goons. I walked around them and crouched down to check on my mate. He had passed out from the beating.
