The Rejected Runt (Rewriting)

Chapter 1

*This is the Old Version of the book, the new version will be posted after the final chapter of the old book.*

I felt his presence before I saw him. I was still groggy from my sleep and sore from last night's beatings.

I opened my eyes slowly and was met with the smiling face of my elder brother, Tyler. He had light brown eyes like our mother and his twin, my elder sister Zoe. Both my sister and brother took after my mom.

They both had the same bright blonde naturally curly hair, same straight nose, and same full pink lips. I was like my father in the looks department. I had his ruby red hair and the same button nose and full red lips and the same violet eyes.

Tyler was really tall and muscular. He had a 6-pack and was about 6"5' while my sister was slim with non-existent curves and was about 5"11'. I, being the smallest in my pack at 5"5' am not only the omega but also the pack runt. My wolf was also relatively smaller than others.

My wolf's size was a supposed shame in my family since my parents are the current Beta and Beta Female and my brother is the soon-to-be Beta, nevertheless, my parents loved me to death.

That is why I could never tell them what happened behind closed doors and I had been repeatedly told of the consequences. Tyler never joined in on the abuse albeit physical or verbal. Back when the abuse started, Tyler had stood up for me and had threatened the pack members, my sister Zoe- his twin and our soon-to-be Alpha Daniel.

Tyler had then been threatened for his Beta position and as much as Tyler was ready to give it up and protect me, I knew just how much he wanted it. After all, he was born to be a Beta.

After a lot of arguing and convincing I made sure he never did anything that would endanger his Beta position. He would try to stop them when the beatings got out of hand and he would help me, later on, to wash up and get me painkillers.

He was also the one who would sneak into my room and get me food since the pack members were convinced that I was fat and needed to be on a diet. I doubted them in the beginning, but now I can see what they mean.

I really am fat and small.

I really am pathetic and weak and a useless pack member. My fighting skills vary from 0 to nil. Our soon-to-be Alpha Daniel is the worst there is. He would constantly abuse me both physically and verbally.

Of course, none of the older pack members knew. If anything they were my constant support. They were so nice and kind to me, they were the only reason why I am still alive.

My parents are already out of the house so much because of pack duties, I shudder to think what would happen when Daniel takes over as Alpha and relieves my dad and mum from Beta duties. My parents had been planning their world cruise for about 2 years now.

Now that they would be gone, I don't think the pack would go easy on me or would give me any time to recover.

I smiled a lazy smile at Tyler and tried to sit up and regretting it almost immediately. I winced and hissed before I could help it. Tyler immediately helped me up and there was an apologetic look in his eyes.

"Sorry, Tori I wasn't here last night. Daniel ordered me to do patrol." His voice was gentle and a little angry but most of all regretful. "Don't worry Ty, it wasn't your fault. I will heal... and it could've been worse. You had no choice and I understand."

Understand I did, Daniel knew that Tyler desperately wanted to help me and Daniel wanted to take his anger out on something so he had sent Tyler because he knew that Tyler wouldn't let it go too far. Yesterday, Daniel had been pissed off all morning because of rogue attacks and it was rumored some pack deal went wrong and his mood was pretty foul, thus the reason why I may have 2 or more broken ribs and I don't even want to know about any other bones.
