My life in the pack was never boring. I'm the most popular girl in school too. They always talk to me. Wanna know why? Yes, my life in the pack was never boring because everyday I always get new bruises. I too am the popular girl in school because I'm the nerd freak. They always pick and bully me everyday. Whenever I pass on somebody, they give me disgused looks and always growl quietly so that my brother can't hear. And lastly, yes. They always talk to me--physically. And what I mean on physically means beating and cursing.
I'm the Alpha's daughter. But since my mother died from a rouge attack protecting me, life turned upside down. One day, I'm the most loved girl in the pack, the next day I'm the most disgused and hated, and that's all thanks to my father--the Alpha. He thinks it's my fault that my mom died.
My dad was never like that before that rouge attack. He was the dad that any girl would want, loving, caring, protective, and sweet. But that changed. My mom was also the same. And after what happened, my dad can't seem to accept the loss of his mate. Good thing he didn't kill himself though, but he always puts his anger on me. He tells the pack I'm a nuisance and the reason why their Luna died. I can't blame them, I always put the blame on me too on why my mom died and not me. Lastly, I have a brother. I love him with all that I am! He's been the one to take care of me since my dad started with the abusing. He's always there for me to stop the bullying and the beating.
