"Tag you're it, Winter, catch me if you can," Donovan said, sticking his tongue at me as he ran further ahead.
I ran after Donovan immediately, which I almost had him until I tripped over a rock and landed on my face in some mud.
"Winter, you look like a monster with all that mud on your face," Donovan replied with a chuckle.
I responded, "You sure talk so much trash, to be twelve."
"Just because you the oldest does not mean you get to bully me."
"Let’s race, the first one to make it to that tree wins” I pointed to the tree.
“Ok Winter, how about we place a bet? You get to do all my chores for a month if I win, including my homework,” Donovan said.
“Ok Donovan, you’re on, but if I win, you have to do anything I’ll tell you to do.
“Deal” Donovan shouted.
“Ok, let's get into the running position.” As soon as we were ready, I began to count. “Ok, on the count of three, one, two, three, go” off we go, Donovan taking the lead, I caught up with Donovan. He gave me a look of shock, which I accepted, giving him a smirk running past him. I was the first to make it to the tree; Donovan came from behind.
“Ok sis, a deal is a deal; what do I have to do?” Donovan ask.
When I was about to say something, I heard a twig snap that alerted Donovan and me. Two tall men came out from the brushes out of nowhere. I grab Donovan placing him behind me.
I ask, “who are you, and what do you want?”
One man walked forward to speak, “We are here for you, Winter.” The man said.
“How do you know my name?”
“It’s not important; you will be coming with us.”
“I’m not going anywhere with you two,”
“Donovan, I will distract these two; I want you to run and get help,” I whisper.
“Ok, sis”
I turn back to the two men; Both men seem to see their eyes were clouded, I told Donovan to run as fast as possible. Donovan wasted no time as he ran fast, passing them; when the men's eyes went back to normal, he noticed that Donovan was gone.
“I advise you two to leave before my dad comes here and rip you two to pieces.”
Both men smirked. “You have no idea at all, do you?” the man with the scar on hisw face said.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“You will find out,” The other man said, walking towards me. Grab my arm lifted me by placing me over his right shoulder; I begin to kick, and scream, as we was heading to my yard. I kick the man in his chest, he loosened up his grip on me and Ibroke free, running to the front, and ran straight to my dad.
“Dad, help, some men are after me,” I told him with tears coming from my eyes while embracing him. When I pulled away; I looked into his eyes, showing emptiness and disgust which confused me.
“Dad, what’s going on?” I ask feeling scare.
“I have sold you, my child, to another Alpha; you are no longer a pack member.” He said with no emotion.
“You cannot be serious; why would you sell me off?” I ask with more tears coming out of my eyes.
“Because our pack is a male dominant, and you know that its tradition that the Alpha’s firstborn had always been a male. Since you are my firstborn, I supposed to hand the title over to you, females are weak. And I will not let you disgrace this pack.
I pleaded, “Daddy please, if that all you are worried about, then we can lie; Donovan can take over as planned because my mate made be at another pack, so it’s a win situation, everyone happy no one outside the pack will have to know.
“That’s the point Winter, I will know and soon people will talk, and I’m not going to risk that; take her away, boys.” My father said.
Immediately the men grabbed me, and I could not break loose. I looked my my dad again I retorted “ If you care so much about your reputation than why not give me up at birth?”
“ Cause your mother wanted you, I on the other hand did not. I only kept you around long enough so I could sell you, trust me you was worth every penny” He said with a smirk.
I took one look into my father eyes and said.“I hate you, you selfish bastard, I hope that we never cross paths in the future if we do, I will kill you” I said, walking off. As we exit I say the words I never thought I will say “I Winter Beloved Cheshire, cut all ties with The Cheshire Husk pack.”
I opened my eyes as the blaring sound of the alarm woke me up from the nightmare that I had been having ever since my father sold me. Lying down on a dirty twin mattress in the dungeon I remembered the day that I arrived at the pack. How Luna looked at me all disgusted. The Alpha on the other hand was different, he began to have an obsession with me.Whenever we are in the same room, Alpha always eyes me seductively, like he wants to seduce me. This got Luna's attention that in a short time I became a threat to her, immediately she turned all the females in the pack against me. It surprises me that Luna does not know that her mate had slept with half of these she- wolves. It’s a shame to be so blinded with jealousy. That she doesn't realize the Alpha scent on all of these women.
As I head down the hall to clean the rooms; I’m glad the pack is small compared to the others. The first floor contain the omegas, the second floor is for the warriors and their families, The third floor, the Beta, and his family, and the fourth floor is for the Alpha and his family. The house has 25 bedrooms, I have to clean by myself, my body goes numb by the time I’m finish. Another issue is a lack of food since Alpha and Beta are away on pack business. This gives Luna a chance to punish me, without warning I had to walk, and bark like a dog on a leash. The worst was that each time a pack member threw food on the floor, I was eat it no matter how disgusting it was. After I clean the last room; I headed out of the room, in the hallway. When I began to walking I looked down, not paying attention until I bumped into a wall. I moved back and noticed it was not a wall; it was a hard chest, I looked up to see that it was Luther, the future Beta, who was standing there. Luther is sexy as
Finally made it to my room, I laid in my bed, begin to close my eyes. I was almost asleep, until I heard the sound of the bar of the door opening up, that alerted me in came Luna and Beta Tena. With one look in their eyes, I knew there was trouble. The way these two looked was like they were searching for their prey. Fortunately, I was the only one they were looking for. “Luna, Beta Tena, what a pleasant surprise. Is there something that I can help you with?” “Save it, you mutt, the nerve of you turning my boy against me like that. I bet it made you feel good, watching as he disrespects me in front of the entire pack?” Beta Tena said. “I swear to you Beta Tena, that was never my intention; I don’t want any trouble,” I respond. “Well,its too late for apologies; just know that you brought it on yourself whatever we do to you,” Luna said. “I did nothing wrong; why am I being punished for?” “Because you are trying to seduce my boy Luther, I the don’t want you're getting your claws in
“ The truth hurts, doesn’t it Luna? You made had been once respected, now you just a worthless piece of shit. And if these walls could talk, they will tell you everything people have been saying behind your back,” I said with venom. All Luna could do was scream, as the tears fell from her eyes while falling to her knees. Like that, Luna was broken, with sadness in her eyes. It made me want to feel sorry for her, I thought about all the things she had done to me, and I decided that she did not deserve my sympathy; she had gotten what she deserved. Another growl was let out; this time, it was from Beta Tena. “You good for nothing mutt, how dare you tell these lies and disrespected our Luna? You need to leave now, Guards” Beta Tena shouted. In seconds two big muscular guards from out of the crowd appeared; they both stood about 6 feet tall, had beige skin, short black hair. You would have thought they were twins standing side by side. “Get this bitch out of here now,” Beta Tena s
Winter P.O.V. “ Miss, you need to wake up.” a voice said. I was woken up from my sleep as I opened my eyes. I noticed that I’m was in a the, and handcuffs on my hands. That when it hits me, I remember everything that happens. Now I’m at a new pack. I got up from the seat, and started looking around, I noticed that the car had stopped moving, I began looking in the front with the two men were sitting. The man got out of the driver seat, and walk over and opened the door for me. “We are here; you can get out of the car now” he said harshly. I nodded, and began getting out; once I was entirely out, I turned my head to my left, and saw a black gate with two guards blocking the entrance. I looked around, and noticed we were in a much deeper forest, surrounded by big trees. The sight was so breathtaking that I could not take my eyes off the beauty of this beautiful foundation. “Stop daydreaming, and come on I have other business to attend” I was brought out of my thought from the man, s
Emmily Pov: Another day is another problem that I have to endure from this pack—getting up from my bed to get ready for the day. As I stood, I began to look around my room, I got upset on how small and crappy this room is; all I had was a mattress on the floor, and a small dresser where I place my clothes in. What I hate the most about my room is that this is small, I feel that this was a closet that they made into a room. I still cannot figure out how I could get a second person in this room? I used to have a roommate, she was also an omega; suddenly, she found her mate, which turned out to be one of the warriors here. She was removed from the room quickly, I have not had a roommate. Being an omega is never fun because of how we are being treated. It was always said that omegas are the lowest, and the weakest in the rank. I never believe it, I always felt that you are only worthless if you accept it. I’m not like ordinary omegas, I don’t bow to anyone. I’m what you call a fei
Winter POV: As soon as we made it downstairs, we were greeted by an older woman. I soon found out her name is Mrs. Hicks; she is the head omega and in charge of assigning people their duties. I was a little upset that Mrs. Hicks posted me to clean Alpha office and the conference room. I felt sad that me, and Emmily would not be working together; once Mrs. Hicks gave me my chores, I gathered the cleaning supplies and headed to the third floor. The first room I went to was the conference room, and I was so glad that no one was there. Without wasting time, I started cleaning; when I finished everything, I headed for the door; when I opened it, I took a step back; my eyes were in shock—seeing Alpha standing there with an evil smirk on his face. What bothered me the most was how he looked at me; he showed lust in his eyes. I found it disgusting because the same look he was giving reminds me of how Alpha Monte used to look at me. I could not help but feel sick to my stomach. “Excuse me
Winter POV: Three weeks after that chili fiasco, things had changed drastically, Roxanne, and her posse were banned from ever cooking again. Now they are permanently on gardening duty, which I find hilarious because those bitches complain so much about pulling weeds; they were agitated when they found out they could participate in the Alpha Ball. They cried, which was music to my ears. Today Mrs. Hicks has everybody on their toes with cleaning, as soon as I walk into the kitchen, “Winter” I turn around to see that Mrs. Hicks is approaching me.“I need you and Emmily to take these piles of table cloths to the washroom to clean.” She said, pointing at two big baskets on the side of the table.I went to grab one basket, Emmily came on in, and retrieved the other; when we entered the laundry room, I began to ask, “ Hey Emmily, what with all the fraist bout around here?&r
