Silence

2. Starting Off The Morning Strong

Every day is the same thing. Wake up at 4:00am, get up go pee, shower, put my hair in a bun, brush my teeth and get dressed. Today I chose my favorite black high waisted ripped skinny jeans, black Nike crop top sweatshirt and black high tops. Lots of black cause today I have a feeling it's going to be a bloody day. Literally. Afterwards I go downstairs making sure that I don't make a sound and go to the main meeting room to see the guy who raised me and get my assignments for the day.

His name is Tobias Giovanni, in technical terms he is my uncle. My father is dead, so my mother sent me to him when I was three, so he likes to remind me. I don't ever remember having a mom or dad. He didn't raise me though, he gets monthly checks from my inheritance to keep a roof over my head, how he treats me isn't included in the payments. He didn't raise I had nannies and babysitters for that. All he did was dictate my life and had other people teach me things like torturing, stalking, and being a ghost. Basically, I was taught to kill without leaving a trace and feeling any remorse for what I did. I learned how to pretty much do anything and everything he deemed fit. His main rule was for me to learn how not to make a sound. I wasn't allowed to talk or make noise of any kind; I'm still not allowed if he thinks I'm being too loud him and his goons will chain me up in wolfsbane coated chains for hours at a time. Let me tell you right now that shit hurts like a bitch. Showing emotions was also a big no. So, my poker face is pretty great if you ask me.

Before you ask about my mother yes, she's still alive she's actually married to some guy and they live in Brazil, after my father's death she saw it as a way to finally get rid of me. I don't mind though as far as I'm concerned, she's next on my list to disappear. But don't forget everything I know about my parents is from my uncle so who knows if he's telling me the truth cause it sure as hell isn't me who knows.

Back to the task at hand, I almost forgot my phone before I left my room in the west wing to go to the east wing where the main meeting room is. It takes a good ten minutes of winding staircases and long hallways to get there. Did I mention I live in a huge mansion. It's far from average but I guess that's what you get when you live with little over 250 of my uncles' best warriors. And there is all the house staff, maids, cooks, and etc.

After what felt like running a marathon, I finally got my phone and was at the main meeting. It took up most of the second floor with its row of seats going back and the giant podium in the front of the room. It reminded of the pictures I have seen of public-school classrooms with the teachers in the front teaching all the students, except in this case behind those big beautiful giant white oak doors is my horrible uncle. I was debating if I could just sneak in and sign my name on the sheet that I was there and sneak back out without being caught but that was wishful thinking since my assigned seat was right in the front row, where my oh so lovely aunt so she could make sure I was behaving up to her standards.

Note the sarcasm there, she sounds like a squeaky toy when talks and smells like she opens her perfume bottle and just pours it on her body. And not mention her terribly dyed bleach blond hair with her brown roots growing is just horrendous. I would make the bet that if someone touches her skin, she probably feels like a plastic squeaky dog toy. But that's my Aunt Addilyn for everyone and her fake Barbie looking self.

Anyways I make my way through the heavy doors and take a Quick Look around glad to see I'm not the last one to arrive. As I'm walking to my seat up front, I can see my aunt and Uncle glaring at me, hmm wonder what I did this time not that I care it's not like they can hurt me any worse than what they already have. I maintain eye contact with my uncle staring him down, my wolf and I like the feeling of feeling his wolf trying to make his presence known to get us to submit to them. But that will never happen, he's not a true alpha like he claims to be, and his authority doesn't work on, so he usually gets creative when it comes to my punishments and after this little staring contest of his I'm definitely going to get it later.

Wonder what it will be, yesterday he had a handful of warriors take me to the dungeons and they put wolfsbane in the sprinkling system and turned it on and off all till about 1 am. Good thing I heal faster than the average wolf. My wolf, Winter is still very pissed off at all of them for what they did, and she even remembered all their scents since they were cowards and had their faces covered like that was going to save them from me later.

"QUIET" he yells. But no one pays attention. He isn't a true alpha, so he doesn't have that demanding give me your attention voice. "SHUT THE FUCK UP" he says this time and it seems to do the trick and everyone sits down in their usual seats and turn towards the front grumbling. Sounds like no wants to here, especially me. Ugh.
