Chapter 2

“Monna run! don’t look back! run!!!” My father screamed

I increased my pace, I’m scared… too scared to stop even tho I was tired already but I kept running as I hear my father’s words faintly urging me to run faster and not look back. Running as fast as my tiny legs could go I hear a sudden thud, I stopped abruptly and turned back…….. my eyes grew wide at the sight before me they had caught up with him.. the wolves had already surrounded him and were tearing him up. My feet were stuck to the ground beneath me, I couldn’t run anymore, and I couldn't scream, I just stood and watched the scene in front of me.

A bigger wolf came forward and my father’s eyes widened as he said something to the wolf, I couldn’t hear him or anything around me then the wolf grab him by the head and clenched his teeth on his neck tearing it…

No!!!!!!!!!

My eyes snapped open and I sat up quickly while panting heavily. My clothes were drenched with sweat and my head throbs, I held my head in my hands staring at a pair of concern-filled eyes of the only person that cares about me.

“Is it the nightmares again?” Amy asked

Amy was my childhood best friend, she was the beta’s daughter, we both ended up as slaves after our parents were killed and my uncle stepped in as the new Alpha. He supposedly fought off the rouges and saved the pack so he was allowed to take over the pack to protect the pack and pack members, but instead of protecting the people, Alpha Gill was a ruthless, power-seeking werewolf who never cared about the people.

“ Monna” Amy shook my arm and I turned to her

“Huh” “ I’ve been calling your name ”

“ Oh sorry Amy…. am fine an….” I was cut off by the voice of the head maid.

“Are you lowlifes still sleeping?” Like they were enchanted, the rest of the slaves got up and scurried outside because anyone found asleep will regret ever sleeping at all.

We all matched to the pack house to start up our daily duties, Amy and I were assigned to prepare the meal for Bella and Luna Kate, so we went to ask what they wanted for breakfast before going into the kitchen to make them but Bella followed us outside.

“Monna come here” she called before pointing a finger at Amy.

“ you whatever your name is, get out” she order and Amy left. If I hear a word about yesterday then get ready for your favorite punishment” she said with a smirk. She has always threatened me each think I caught her so I was used to it but what I never got used to was the mention of that punishment. I always flinch at the mention of it and Bella has never failed to remind me of it anything she feels like scaring me. I nodded and walked to the kitchen.

Yesterday, I was so shocked when I saw Bella naked and tied to the window frame. I stood with my mouth as I stared at her in that position which earned me a slap the moment I untied her, she went to the bathroom while I was left to clean up the disgusting liquid spilled all over the floor. Yuck it took everything in me to fight the urge to throw up. I got to the kitchen and joined Army, she threw me a worried look and I smiled at her.

Amy and I cooked silently because of the guards surrounding us, they wouldn’t hesitate to wipe anyone that said a word. Courtsey of Bella’s order. My mind trailed back to the first time I was asked to make breakfast for Bella, I was twelve at that time and Bella was 18, it was her birthday and her first shifting day, Bella has always bragged about being the mate of a very powerful Alpha, she had planned on traveling around packs to search for her Alpha mate once she got her wolf, she asked for steak and mashed potatoes, I put in all my efforts as I know what my fate would be if I ruined her dish.

Bella, Luna Kate, Alpha Gill, and her friends went to the shifting site; a large clearing where young werewolf shifts for the first time. They had all gone out for about an hour and would be on their way back.

I made sure I finished up and arranged the dishes in place with the help of Amy, we were carrying the dishes to Bella’s room when we heard an angry growl at the pack house entrance, everyone around turned to see a rage-filled Bella storming I then her parents followed suit, we all bowed and chorused

“Alpha”

“Luna”

Luna Kate rushed to her daughter and rubbed her back,

I wondered what was wrong with her and with the look on everyone’s faces, they thought the same.

“Mates are goddess gifts to our kind,” Luna Kate said to here her daughter who whined loudly in response.

I will never accept him, I can’t be his mate!! She shouted

What? She found her mate already? but wasn’t she jumping around and bragging about the pack she would rule over? I was so lost in thought that I didn’t notice that Bella was walking towards the stairs already, I bowed slightly and asked her where to keep her food, Bella stopped in her tracks, walked straight to me, and surprisingly took the tray of food from me with a smile or was that a smirk on her lips.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Was Bella smiling at me, what ha… My thoughts stopped when I felt the hot dishes all over my head and face.

I spent all the time and strength preparing that dish only for it to be poured over my head, my blood boiled and before I knew what I was doing I landed Bella a slap across her face.

The gasps I heard around me brought me back to the realization of what I have done, I turned around intending to kneel and beg the Alpha for forgiveness only to be hit by a hard rod, I fell to the ground, and I could feel blood dripping down my head, everything became blurry as I drifted into darkness.
