the end of my first crush

Haven's POV

The sudden pour of a cold bucket of water on my body woke me up. I immediately sat up, only to see Raven standing in front of me with an evil smile on her face and her hands folded.

“You don't expect me to make breakfast, do you”?

She asked and I immediately stood up and shook my head.

I spent the whole night healing and some parts of my body was still aching. I was definitely not ready to get beaten again. At least, not this morning.

“I'm sorry, I'll get to it immediately”.

I said and was about to walk past her when she grabbed my hair, pulling me back.

It hurts like hell, but I couldn't hold her hand or try to free myself as that was only going to annoy her even more.

“What is this? Why are you being all bitchy this morning”?

She said and I immediately shook my head.

“Please, I didn't mean to offend you”.

I said and she smiled before throwing me back on the bed.

She walked towards me and I moved to the wall, fear evident on my face.

Yes, I was weak, yes my spirit was completely broken, yes I've forgotten how to be loved so all I can do is feed off the scrap I got from my father and sister even though it was literally not there. Yes my sister terrified the living shit out of me because she was like the devil but I couldn't help but stay weak.

Don't think I haven't tried to fight back. I have, but every time I did, I was reminded of how insignificant I was and just how powerless I was compared to my sister.

What about running away you might ask? Ha!! I've tried to do that only twice and I died almost ten times.

“You seem to think alpha Urian is actually going to choose you”.

She said but of course I knew he wouldn't and to be honest, I actually hoped he wouldn't. I didn't want to think about the kind of torture I would go through in that pack.

I shook my head, showing her I wasn't thinking about it at all.

She raised her hand, ready to hit me when I heard dad call her.

“Raven”!

He called out, causing her hand to hang midair as she turned to him.

“I know you want to hit her and put some sense into her. Believe me, I do too but you can't slap her”.

He said and my heart which was beating so hard calmed down a bit even though I wasn't sure what he was driving at just yet.

“We have just a day to prepare for the ball. We can't have her face looking bruised”.

He said and moved past her, moving towards me.

That face, that cold and heartless face that was once filled with love. I was used to it by now.

Before I could think too far, he raised his legs and hit me on my tummy.

I held my tummy in pain but he looked at Raven as they both smiled.

“You can hit her in places that won't show”.

He said and Raven looked like she was just handed a pack full of candy.

As soon as he turned back to me, the smile on his face vanished.

“Get the fuck up and make me breakfast”.

He said and even though it felt like my ribs had broken, I stood up almost immediately and dashed out of the basement to make them breakfast.

My father soon left for a council meeting as the union Ball was close now.

Raven went out to see her friends, leaving me at home alone.

I didn't have much to do as I was done with my chores already but I knew better than to go out.

Going back to the basement, I took out a book and began reading. I didn't have a cellphone like my sister, so I took pleasure in reading beautiful romance books even though they were all just a fairytale to me.

I was reading when I heard the door slam shut. I knew someone was inside but I didn't want to leave the basement. So I went to my little crack to see who it was and there they were, Raven and my only friend, Andy, kissing and taking clothes off.

I knew they weren't mates and last time we spoke, Andy was telling me just how much he couldn't stand Raven. Imagine my shock when Dad said I was trying to take Andy away from Raven.

I haven't seen him since then so I haven't even gotten an explanation from him but seeing them like this now, I didn't need any more explanation.

Funny of me to have thought Andy would actually like me instead of Raven. Yes, he has been my crush since we were kids and I liked him first but Raven was always more outspoken and likable than me.

Plus, Andy isn't just anyone, he's alpha Georges son.

Getting down from my stool, I went back to sit on my bed, trying to ignore the sounds that were coming from upstairs.

I've never been with a man before but I wasn't so naive that I didn't know what those moans and clapping meant. They were definitely going so hard.

After what felt like forever, they finally stopped and I was so relieved.

But shortly after, I heard the door to the basement open, causing me to look up very alert.

Raven walked in with Andy and even though I hated to admit it, they actually looked good together.

“Get it over with and let's go”.

Raven said, confusing me.

Andy began coming closer and at first, I thought he came to explain to me. Probably give me some sort of excuse but what he said next made my eyes open wide in fright.

“I've always wanted to see if you really can't die".

He said and my heart began beating so hard.

Just because I couldn't die didn't mean I was immune to pain.

I shook my head and spoke.

“Andy wait please…”

He didn't let me speak further before his hand dug into my chest.

My eyes opened wide as blood spilled out of my mouth. Suddenly he had a look I had never seen before, he actually looked worse than Raven.

I could hear Raven laugh but her laughter immediately seized when Andy pulled out my heart.

“The fuck”!!

That was the last thing I heard before I passed out.

And that was it… my first crush was finally. over
