Samantha signed as she got up. Alpha had hit her yet again last night. No matter what she did, he was always mad at her lately. She couldn't do anything right. She painfully pulled her small, eight year old body out of the closet that Alpha insisted that she sleep in.She quickly looked around and relaxed when she realized that he was already gone for the day. She remembered that they were having a new pack visit for some training today and reasoned that he left early to greet them. She better get to work while everyone was out of the pack house. Alpha wanted her to clean the house but she was forbidden from letting anyone see her. It made her life even more difficult. Alpha would hit her if she didn't get her work done but he would also hit her if anyone saw her. She didn't stand a chance most days but since everyone should be at training, she should have a few hours to clean. Hopefully she could most of her weekly cleaning done and alpha would be pleased for once.She scurried down

Ash and Luna Sara finished helping Samantha with her bath a while later. They helped her dry off and put her in a big, soft robe. They led her into her room."We can redo your room so it's the way you like it" Luna Sara said and Samantha nodded."It's already beautiful" Samantha said."We can have some pack member's paint it and get you some new furniture in the next week. We will have to go shopping for more clothing too but Mary ran to the Mall when we got home and got you some casual clothes, PJs and a dress for tonight along with some under ware" Sara explained as she opened the door and Mary walked through with a huge amount of bags."I hope that I got the right size" Mary lamented as she smiled at Samantha."Thank you" Samantha said as she hugged Mary."It was my pleasure, baby. I hope that you like them." Mary replied, looking proudly at the girl.The ladies carefully brushed out Samantha's long, dark hair and dried it. Then they put her in a pair of leggings and long shirt aft

POV SamanthaI showered and dressed quickly. I was just finishing my chair and makeup when Troy knocked on the bathroom."You looked nice. You are ready?" He asked and smiled at me."Yep, where is Stacy?""She is already downstairs. You covered those heck eyes right ? Dad will kill Jon if he see them" Troy added and he shook his head."You know that you don't love him? I can tell " Troy began. I sighed.I know, he knows. Trust me. It's okay. Don't start" I snapped and he nodded."Okay. Okay. Let us go. We don't want to be late" he replied and offered me his arm.Together we stepped out into the hall Sean and Jules were behind us."You looked great, little one" Sean whispered."Thanks, so do you" I replied with a smile.We walked down stairs where Stacy, Jon, Ash, Steve, Mary and Stacy and our parents were waiting. Dad and mom hugged us. Stacy kissed Troy and hugged me. Jon nodded to Troy as Ash, Mary, Steve and Steph hugged me too. Then Jon took my hand. Troy and dad growled lowly but

C7POV Samantha"Please wait here while I wash up and change my shirt" Lance requested.I nodded and he walked to a doctor and opened it to reveal a bathroom. I heard water running."Hey, baby? Can you please bring me my shirt? It's hanging on the back of the door." He called."Fine" I mumbled.I spotted the black button up hanging in a dry cleaners back. O grabbed it and walked over to the bathroom."Here" I snapped and he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the bathroom.I realized then that he was very shirtless and very close."Thank you, baby" he whispered as he pressed me against the counter.I couldn't stop the moan that came from me as he gently kissed the spot where my neck and shoulder met. The spot that I knew that he wanted to mark. He nibbled the spot but I came to my senses and pushed him away."Don't even think about it" I growled and he smirked."Too late, baby. I can't stop thinking about it." He whispered."You wouldn't dare!" I yelled and he glared at me in disbelie

C9I got up and showered. I was going to help with the training so I put on my gear which consisted of tight black pants and a black spots bra. I called our Beta couple and checked in without giving away all the drama that had transpired since our arrival. They passed along a list of six pack members who got into fight that I would need to call."Oh can you call Melissa too? She was super grumpy" Mary added and I agreed to call them and right away.After I hung up, I made all the rest of my calls and calmed my pack members.Finally finished, I put on my socks and shoes and walked to my door, linking with Sean to see if he was ready to walk me to the training ground. As I walked out to the hall, I noticed one of our warriors sitting in the hall. I wasn't surprised. I'm sure that my Dad insisted on having security overnight in our hall. I was startled to see that she wasn't alone a questioning look."Alpha Lance asked me to watch over you last night. I am to accompany you for the next h
