Caught by the Alpha

Caught By The Alpha| 1

KESTREL

I feel a large pain blossom in my stomach that wakes me up from my restless sleep.

My eyes shoot open and I bring my legs to my chest instinctively before looking at the pair of feet that I recognize at my fathers.

I don't dare make eye contact, I haven't for as long as I can remember so I push myself off the small uncomfortable mattress and stand up.

I feel a sharp pain in my lower back probably from a spring in the mattress but I ignore it and keep my gaze locked on the floor.

The thing is, I'm not an omega and I never was, but I'm treated and I act like one so that everyone in the pack thinks I am.

It was something my father forced me to do and also, no one here knows he's my dad but they don't treat me too bad, it's only him and he does it so no one knows.

I was looking at his feet so I was caught off guard when his fist came in contact with my face.

"Look at me."
He grounds out.

I clutch my bleeding nose and lift my head slowly so that my eyes lock with his.

He gives me a once over and I feel so exposed and self conscious as his face forms a scowl that quickly fades to a disgusted stance.

"Clean yourself up and put on
your best clothes, we are having guests from another pack and I would not like you to embarrass me again."

I nod my head and wipe my nose once before shifting my gaze back to the ground.

He has never asked me to look in his eyes before and when he did, he looked at me with something I couldn't quite identify.

Shaking off the thought he gives me one last glare and leaves the small Attic to go downstairs.

I quickly rush over and grab my least tattered, blood covered, or stained pair of clothes and head for my small bathroom.

This has been happening for as long as I can remember, my father would wake me up with some sort of punch or hit and give me some things to do.

This happened shortly after my mom died when I was around five and I only have faint memories of her but they are always happy and it's when my father was a great loving and caring man.

But that all changed, she was his mate so if completely broke him but he had to continue saying there was no one of age to inherit the alpha title, but since then he became a cruel and ruthless alpha that doesn't care about his pack, and he doesn't even care about me, his daughter.

I sigh and strip off my torn pjs and look at my bruised, scar, and blood covered body before stepping into the shower.

I know I'm ugly, I only recently started thinking about it because my fathers words have started to get to me so he makes sure to tell what I am every day.

But it doesn't stop the tears and the sadness that it brings to know that your not even, in the slightest way, accepted by your own father.

I wince and cringe at the hot water that sears the marks in my body, causing me to quickly finish and hop out of the shower.

I dry myself and put on a tight, long-sleeved shirt along with some cropped leggings.

I then grab my makeup and cover all my bruises and scars visible to the eye before sprinting downstairs.

On my way down I collide with a hard surface that I soon discover is my father.

Jumping back I try to escape the blow but instead he shoves me to the floor roughly resulting in my head slamming on the stairs below me.

I try to hold in my groan as I slowly sit up and try to meet my fathers terrifying gaze
"Hurry up and make breakfast you bitch! I'm having the Alpha and Beta from a neighbouring pack over for a meeting in about an hour and I do not want to lose this opportunity because of your stupidity"

I give a small nod and rush past him, ignoring the throbbing pain in my head and enter the kitchen and halfway through me making breakfast I hear a loud banging on the door and my fathers voice.

I cock my head to the side to see my fathers back and two very tall and handsome men before returning my gaze back to the food while listening carefully.

"Welcome Alpha Chase and Beta Arnold"
"Its a pleasure to be here Alpha"
I hear who I think is Arnold say.

"What's that smell?"
A deep voice fils my ears and I resist looking over to get another look at the alpha.

"Pardon me?"
My fathers shocked voice rings in my ears and I shiver instantly.
"That smell.....I-It's amazing, What is it?"
Alpha Chase breathes.

"Oh! Breakfast is being prepared, but it should be ready in a bit, in the meantime why don't we have a talk in my office?"
"That would be fine"
But Alpha Chase seems unsure of himself but I choose to ignore it and quickly try and finish breakfast.

I begin setting the table and bringing food out when pack members start to file into the dining room, giving m enough more then dirty looks but that's normal. When breakfast is at the table I fold my apron and walk back into the kitchen ready to clean up when I see the pitcher of orange juice on the counter.

I grab it and rush back into the dining room only to collide with someone, spilling entire pitcher of orange juice on the person.

I take a step back ready for the blows but they don't come. I look up and my gaze locks with pale blue ones of Alpha Chase.
My breath hitches when I see my fathers angry eyes from behind Chase, but Chase runs up to me and I flinch back but he pulls me towards him and buries his face in the crook of my neck.

Shocked, I don't move as I hear the words that come tumbling out of his mouth.
"You, it was you, thank you goddess, oh thank you, my second chance....mine"
My fathers eyes narrow even more and I look at the still shocked faces of my pack members.

Alpha Chase just told me, and everyone else that Im his second chance mate.
But I feel nothing, I'm not even eighteen yet, I don't even feel the sparks they say you feel, I feel nothing.

"Kestrel, go to your room."
My fathers cold voice slices through the silence and Alpha Chases head snaps up so fast I'm surprised he didn't hurt his neck.

"What?"
His hold on me becomes tighter and it doesn't go unnoticed by my father.
"She is apart of my pack, she's not even of age and you don't want a filthy omega like her"

"So Omega, go to your room."
A loud growl crawls up the back of Chases throat and silences everything in the room

"No way in hell and Omega? She doesn't smell like one, she's coming with me"
I watch as the expressions on the pack members change at the omega comment.

"Alpha Chase I advise you to take your beta and leave my pack so we can discuss our situation and it's advantages later"
"NO"

Alpha Chase pushes me behind him and glares at my father.
"Chase I advise you to leave or your so called mate will come to harm"
"You can't do that."
He says through gritted teeth.

"Oh but I can"
My father takes a step forward and a small smirk appears on his face causing me to cower back.

"Once again she is apart of my pack and is not of age therefore she is still under my custody until further notice, and we don't want anything to happen to her now do we?"

Chase loosens his hold on me and I can practically feel his anger radiating off him in waves as he turns me around so I'm facing him I see his expression soften just a bit.

"I will be back."
He tells me and plants a small kiss on my forehead before turning back to my father.
"And that's a promise."
Chase lets go and quietly leaves the house, his beta in tow.

With my eyes still trained on the door I don't notice my fathers presence until he grabs my arm roughly, digging his fingers into my flesh.

"YOU"
He grabs my hair and yanks at it.
"YOU RUINED EVERYTHING."
I see his eyes beginning to turn black his wolf taking over.
"And your going to pay."
