*Thud*
Tensing in fear I know what's about to come, "Why is dinner not finished you worthless piece of shit" Adam my Alpha demands as he knocks me down to my knees
Whimpering in fear "I-It's almost finished Alpha" bowing my head not making eye contact out of respect as I know I would surely be dead if that happened.
Suddenly I'm on the ground getting my ribs kicked in. Struggling to breathe as I hear one rib crack, I cover my head waiting for my punishment to end. Whining lowly, if I make too much noise I'll surely get a worse beating.
I don't know how much time goes by before it all ends, I hear him huff and walk away, not daring to look up.
"Inoari!!" My best friend Aden whispers furiously, softly looking up I see his concerned eyes assessing me.
"I'm o-okay." I stutter, breathing heavily. "I need to finish making dinner or I'll get more beatings Aden."
Aden is the beta's son, he's the only one who cares for me here. I shouldn't be this weak. I'm an Alpha daughter. You see Adam killed my father who use to be alpha. And kept me as a trophy.Sad I know, but it's the life I live now.
Aden nods his head sadly, helping me up. I sway as I'm finally on my feet and clutch my side. Wincing at every step I take back to the oven finishing the packs dinner. I'll get maybe a taste and that's it. I guess that's why I'm so weak.
"Don't worry Ino, we can make it through this. We'll get out one of day." My wolf Ember says yipping happily.
Smiling to myself I nod back, she has so much hope. She's not as broken as me. I love my Wolf, she's the only thing that's kept me sane for years now. She's my hope, what little I do have.
Quickly eating a piece of bread and spoonful of soup, I limp to where Alpha's office is. Knocking quietly I enter. "D...dinner is finished." I say quietly. I can't seem to talk without stuttering at least once or twice. I fear a lot.
"Ok" he says. I turn to leave "Wait, we're having the neighboring pack over tomorrow they'll be here in the morning. You better have this place nice and clean." He sneers, getting up and shoving me into the wall to get past me.
Sucking in a breath as I'm knocked into the wall, I try to guard my hurt rib. Grunting I limp my way to the basement, I have a tiny closet as my room, it should be considered a cell. Grabbing my tiny blanket that I've outgrown, I sit down slowly, my side aches with pain.
Wait! Alpha said the neighboring pack is coming. If I recall correctly it will be the Bloodmoon pack.Shaking in fear I remember the rumors about him. He's ruthless, a young Alpha with a worse temper than my Alpha. I don't know his name, all I know is he's one of the youngest Alphas around. One you don't want to mess with. Swallowing thickly I think of something else.
I think back to the last time I had a shower. I'm not allowed to have hot ones anymore. Haven't had a hot shower in 7 years. And I'm 18. Sighing the last time I actually washed my hair was 3 weeks ago. I'm such a sad person. Feeling tears trail down my cheeks I swipe them away angrily. Laying down on my arm, I cry myself asleep.
