hopeless

*23*

Alex

Almost three years passed and our pup was almost fully grown, she was growing fast. Somalis was treated as a pet and not our daughter because she was different. She ate out of a bowl ,drank out of a bowl and was served steak for most of her meals . she was born as a wolf, and treated as so.

Suddenly she ran into the room and sat at the edge of my desk on the floor by my feet. It was twelve o'clock exactly , somehow she knew it was lunch time. I set her bowl down and she ate properly. She never sat on the furniture , Even if we wanted her to .she simply refused to . She barked happily as she was finished. I patted her side gently and went back to my work. When she left the room I heard someone yell.

" SOMALIS! This is unacceptable ! No chewing your father's shoes !!!" they yelled , I stopped my work and walked into the room and Somalis was sitting and looking at my shoes that she had previously chewed excitedly. I grabbed her by the scruff and spanked her small rump and placed her in her kennel. " You have misbehaved yet again, no dinner and I will be spanking you later ." I stated sternly. She lowered her head and layed down in the cage cowering, she reminded me of her mother who was laying in bed . her cancer had gotten worse and she refused any treatment due to being able to lose her wolf. " don't let this happen again..." I said letting her out of her cage .

She stayed inside the cage , not moving a muscle. " go, before I change my mind." I stated and yet she still refused to move. I locked the door . she would rather choose punishment than go back to playing . even if it was dinner and I fed her she wouldn't eat the food because of the punishment given .

As I went back to work I heard Chase trying to coax her out of her cage but she wouldn't budge , she growled at him and I heard her pull the cage door shut . Chase then opened it then pulled her out and carried her upstairs to his room. Somalis was the inspiration to his drawings , she was always in the picture next to him . Chase drew a family portrait of us and Somalis is in front collar on and leash in my hand her mother and I next to each other and Chase kneeling beside her . he always included himself with her . she was always with him, and if she wasn't she was laying outside my bedroom door whimpering and crying. I never let her in at night , Dawn wanted to see her but I kept them apart . they would kill each other ....

The doctor said not to allow them to bond because who knows how long they each will last. One of them would surely die because their race kills each other for the place of power, or the throne.

in our case somalis would kill Dawn for the place of luna, and then she would kill me off as well. i could never let her and her mother meet eachother because this event would occur.

Isoon saw somalis run down the steps with chase following after her. somalis was carrying his pencil in her mouth and running frm him.

"c'mon ,give it back . i need it to draw !" chase shouted after her. she only kept running , untilshe entered my office and handed the pencil to me . she nudged my arm and ran out of my office , hd the pencil in my drawer and watched chase run after her outside. he couldnt catch up to her as she was too fast for him.

as the day went on somalis contined to stealher brothers pencils and he ran after her trying to retrieve them. when dinner arrived the table was full. chase ,my beta and i sat at the table. i notticed that somalis wasnt at the table, she wasnt ven in the room. i stood from the table and walked into the livingroom . there stood my mate , Dawn and somalis on the floor sitting at her feet getting petted on the head.

Dawn grabbed somlis picking her up off the floor and cradling her like a baby. when Dawn looked at me tears filled her eyes as she held her daughter.

" How could you keep her from me ? all the nights she cries outside my door and i'm not allowed tolet her in . she knows i am weak, yet she will not harm me because i gave her life ."

"i had to , babe . i was worrid for your health."

" you treat her like a pet , its not like she's your daughter . you treat her as if she isnt a living being. Alex she is your daughter, and i am your wife . You cant keep us holled up in a bedroom or cage."Dawn said sounding angry with me while petting somalis.

' she is our daughter Dawn but she is still an animal." i replied back.

"even so you musnt treat her as so. "She said kissing me on the lips. somalis licked my face as well as her mothers.

i then knew that my wife and child would be safee together at last , living in harmony.
