Talking of hell...
Since I became an omega, I was assigned, or, would you say, destined, to work as a maid at the alpha's home. The future home of Aiden and his Luna
Alpha Colton Steve and his wife Julia aren't the best people to stay with. While Alpha Colton is more patient, Luna Julia is so hot-tempered that it always feels like you're walking on eggshells around her.
And I'm so sure her Barbie daughter, Bettany, took after her. She has a face like that of an angel, but she's so evil that you'd confuse her as the devil's bride.
Perhaps Aiden is the real devil in a gorgeous body. Moreover, haven't you heard that the devil is the most beautiful creature on earth?
Maybe, just maybe, they were referring to Aiden. Lost in my thoughts once again, I was startled when I saw the castle, just a few meters away from where I was.
"Back to the devil's lair." I thought. The only reason I get to smile in Aiden's home is the way their castle is built.
No matter how long I look at it, it always seems to steal my breath away. It's simply a work of art. I've even dreamed of having my own home beautifully decorated and built like this. "At least I can dream," I giggled to myself.
Now, I'm not one of the lucky ones allowed to stay in the castle because they all feel I'm a witch, so the barn is simply my home. heading to where I stay inside the barn. It's barely anything like home, but there's still a roof over my head.
I was about to change into the clothes of a maid when the door suddenly opened. Charlotte walked in fuming.
"What took you so fucking long?" Charlotte, another maid in the castle, asked Sometimes, I wonder if life is cruel to only me or even Charlotte. While I am 5'7 feet and quite a plain Jane, she's 5'3 feet and thick, in the right places, with brown hair down to her shoulder blades and a violet iris.
She's everything you'd call a beauty, but sadly, she's an omega. But I also wonder why she's so mean to me. I mean, we are both omegas. Putting my thoughts aside, I answered her, "I'm sorry."
Snorting,"Miss Bettany asked you to come see her later when you got back," she said and walked out.
Just the mere name had me shuddering as I broke into a cold sweat.
That name alone gives rise to goose bumps on my body. Somehow, I believe she's a maniac who enjoys inflicting pain on people, both emotionally and physically, as I have been subjected to her fury for a long time.
Sighing myself to will, I changed quickly into my very old short maid dress, preparing myself to go to Bettany.
As I headed out of the barn, making my way to her room, I saw several other maids and greeted them, but none of them responded.
Well, I am used to receiving such treatment from people, but still, it unnerves me. Why should I be labeled a witch? Well, that's what the whole pack believes. And I'm even subjected to bullying from my fellow maids.
Walking past them all, I made my way inside Bettany's home, suddenly forgetting whatever problem it is I have with the maids, as I am wowed once again by how magnificent the Alpha's home is.
I knocked on her door.
"Come in," she answered calmly. Entering her room, I dared not look up as I was reminded once again, what she's capable of.
"Why are you late from school?" She asked calmly. You know what they say about the calm before the storm? I can literally feel it bubbling to the surface now.
As I tried to come up with a suitable reply so as not to annoy her, I said, "It wasn't my intention, ma."
"You damned bitch, do you have a death wish?” She barked at me. I'm fidgeting and beginning to cry; I'm so pathetic.
"I'm sorry, ma," I answered shakily. But she didn't seem satisfied with my lame reply.
"That didn't answer my f*cking question!"
What problem do these people have with answering their question? I thought, Can someone just stop cursing at me already?
"T-t-the t-t-teacher too-o-ok so.." I was about to complete my sentence while stuttering, when she suddenly cut me off, making me shiver.
"Will you fucking stop stuttering and answer the goddamn*d question, slave?" She was fuming furiously. My face stung badly from the tears threatening to fall at any moment. Trying to hold back my tears, I quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry".
She stood up from where she sat and slapped my face so hard that I burst into tears.
"How dare you try to lie to me?" She demanded.
"I swear, I am not," I quickly told her, but was met with yet another resounding slap. This time, I fell to the ground from the sheer force.
I immediately knew I already had a chance of getting a snowball in hell, just like the Japanese would say.
"Don't ever talk back to me, you b*tch." She screeched. Afraid I'd be slapped again, I bowed my head and apologized once again, "I'm so sorry, miss."
"Well, I was thinking of having a little fun with you today; what do you think?" She smiled.
That doesn’t sound so good. I knew that anything behind her evil smile wasn’t a good one.
"M-ma"?
"Let's play a little game, shall we?" She repeated.
Not understanding what she wanted this time, I kept silent. So she called her two maids standing outside, "Ava and Sophia, come in."
"Yes, ma'am," the two of them said in unison and got inside. "Hold each of her hands to keep her still. "I'm so excited about this." She sneered.
Now terrified, I tried to ask her, "Excuse me, ma," but she didn't spare me a glance.
She went instead to get her electric hair straightener. She walked closer to me. I tried to move backward but was held firmly by the two maids.
I began sobbing and begging, "I'm so sorry, ma, please forgive me." But she paid no heed to my pleas.
"I wanted you to help me know if this hair straightener is hot enough." Without any warning, she pressed it against my arm.
I embraced the pain, or so I thought. I cried out hysterically. It felt as if my whole being was on fire. I had learned how to endure pain, but this felt different. The pain I’d have from the wound was nothing compared to what I was feeling.
"Darling, you need to be patient." "Is it hot enough?" She asked in a sinister manner.
"Please-e-e-e s-s-stop thi-i-is, I can't take it," I cried out. Immediately, the hot straightener was removed, only to be placed on my other arm.
My eyes rolled to the back of my head, and I tasted something metallic due to pressure on my lips. I bit so hard that I couldn't do it any more.
I didn't even have the strength to cry out again. Black dots blurred my vision, and I resigned myself to fate. Maybe this is what death feels like—a calm before the storm. I didn't even feel any pain anymore.
I smiled, content that I was finally leaving this world. I closed my eyes and succumbed to the darkness that surrounded me.
Wow. Why am I so cold? Is this how heaven is? So cold? Or maybe this is hell. Oops, hell is supposed to be very hot, not cold. But why does my body feel too cold and wet?"Anna, Anna, Anna, open your eyes, please."Is someone here with me too? I'm supposed to be dead, right? Is there anyone who knows me already in heaven? Oh no, this feels like water, and before I could think again, another cold bowl of water was poured on me."Christ!" I yelped from both the cold water and the intense pain I was feeling."You're finally awake." I looked up and saw Ava hovering above me."Ava?" I asked faintly."Finally, you're awake," she sighed, looking so tired."What happened"? I asked her. But immediately, everything came rushing back. I was burned! I raised my two arms up to see a very ugly red bruise running along my arms."Oh my God," I gasped in tears. What did I ever do to deserve this? Why didn't I just die? Hot tears were running down my face. I couldn't even raise my hands properly becaus
It's been almost a week since I was last seen in school. I'm very sure my best friends are worried to death. There's little or nothing I can do about it, though, as I am not allowed to have visitors or visit people.After the incident with Bettany, I stayed out of her sight. I do my chores on time and return to the barn.I wanted to remain as low-key as possible—not like she cared. And there was a time Aiden came looking for me, demanding to know why I hadn't been in school. Of course I lied; it's not like he will fight for me or something.It has been made pretty clear to me. I'm all alone in this cruel world. I didn't even try to fight it or be depressed. Though there were times I wished I were better.Wishes bring back bad memories and mental breakdowns. So I didn't dwell on them too much either. So far, Ava has been pretty nice to me. She sneaks into the barn once in a while, and we sometimes eat together. It hasn't been any better, though; it just got a lot easier to have someone
Aiden Steve POV********Bianca told me both of you are finally an item. Man, you finally got yourself the hot chic.What! I was confused. When did Bianca and I become an item? I was thinking to myself when Lucas interrupted"Aren't you both an item"? "Ok, wherever you got your information from was wrong. We are not together, we can't even be together". I grimaced at the thought of waking up next to Bianca.I quickly added, "I only use her to pass time". So don't get the wrong idea.Liam who has been standing there all long looked mortified by my outburst. "You're kidding right"? "Do you have any idea how many people wanna be with Bianca"? He asked."As far as I'm concerned, she's the most pretty here apart from Anna, of course". Liam saidI just shrugged. "I just don't like her". She's pretty, quite alright but also bitchy"."For Christ's sake, she gets on my nerves every time too", trying to act all coy with me as if we were an item"."Talking about Anna, I haven't seen her around
Aiden’s POVTalking about leaving, I just wanna get rid of whatever feeling it is I'm feeling. I need to distract myself from whatever turbulent emotions going on at the moment. What's wrong with me?Ever since we imprinted, I can't get the thought of her out of my head. The look on her face after the rejection, it felt like it's not the same meek Anna anymore.Does she hate me now? She loathes me? Nah, I'm sure it's just a phase, it will pass. What's she thinking right now? Is she ok?Christ! Why can't I just get her out of my head? So much for trying to escape. I said to myself, sighing.Where is she? Is she crying? Is she alright?I'm going fucking insane! I never used to care if she was alright or not. Why now? Why does she have to be my mate? Why did the moon goddess have to make a joke of me like this? Why did she have to ridicule me by pairing me with someone I can't be with?And now, I can't even control how I think about her, and how I feel. I feel as if my perfect life is sp
Anna’s POVRolling on the floor in a frantic attempt to stop the pain, I screamed again "Argh!" Desperately hoping everything will stop, only that it didn't. More and more pain hit me so badly my vision began to blurry."N-o, N-o, this can't be happening," I said, shaking my head. I can't simply lose my consciousness in this unknown forest."What if I were eaten by a big wolf or, o-r I were kidnapped"? This isn't happening to me, I simply can't faint right now.Trying my best to remain conscious, I was hit yet with another pain. Not having any power to shout anymore due to how much I have shouted, I whimpered weakly. I hope Aiden will stop whatever he's doing."Aiden, please stop. You're hurting me". I said weakly, this time, wishing he could hear me from here. Unable to stay conscious, slowly, black dots blurry my vision and soon I can barely make out where I was."Please, protect me". And like that, I lost consciousness.******~Time pass~Opening my eyes slowly, I was met with dar
Anna’s POV"Daddy"! I exclaimed in shock. How can it be? Looking at him, just a few feet away from me, I was in shock. Is that really my dad and what is he doing here?"Dad, is that really you? What are you doing here? Where's this place? Dad"? I bombarded him with questions but he didn't even pay me any attention. Instead, he seems like he's waiting on someone."Dad, can you recognize me"? I asked again, as I started making my way to him cautiously. "It's me, anna. Dad you remem…… I was about to complete the statement when I was halted by someone that appeared beside him."Brother"? I shouted, shocked beyond my imagination. Never did I think I was going to meet my family here. Why are they here? I'm sure they have been here way longer. So, maybe I can get my questions answered, forgetting they can't see or hear me."Brother, can you see me? It's I, Anna, your sister". Moving closer to them, "Dad, look at me. Brother, I'm here. What's going on? Where's this place? Seeing they paid m
Aiden’s POVThroughout the drive with Bianca to one of the hotels I own, I kept thinking of Anna. Why Anna? She's supposedly one of the lowest werewolves in the Crescent moon pack. What am I supposed to do? Am I wrong for rejecting my mate? All these questions kept repeating itself in my head till we got to the hotel.Highlighting from the car with Bianca, it took all my strength not to jump back inside and drive back to school to look for Anna. Guilt gnawed at me incessantly. I've tried brushing it off but it kept coming back. Diverting my attention till Bianca couldn't keep quiet. I was beginning to feel so irritated with her by my side. She kept asking questions. And even right now, I feel my head about to blow."Aiden, hope it's not what I'm thinking. Don't tell me you're thinking about that reject". She spat"Aiden, stop thinking about her"! She shouted when she heard no response from him. "You brought me here to enjoy with you, it's so improper of you to think about some random
Aiden’s POV Yawning loudly, I stretched. Opening my eyes as I stretch, I shut it back quickly, groaning. The window was left opened and sunlight streamed inside the room from the window giving the room a beautiful glow to it. Slowly, I opened my eyes, making sure my eye adjusted to the light coming in. Where's Bianca? I checked her side of the bed but she's not there with Me. Did she leave already? Getting off the bed "urgggg" I groaned. Fucking christ! I had so much to drink yesterday and now my hangover is quite terrible. I need to call her. I stood up this time from the bed and began searching for my phone In order to call her. Where's this goddamn phone? I was saying to myself when the bathroom door opened. "Hello, you miss me already?" Bianca came out of the bathroom naked and smiling at me. I gulped hard, trying not to stare at her dangerous body. "Hi princess, come here". Opening my arms out to her and smiling. And as usual, she walked over slowly and seductively making su
