Chapter Two

“Get on with your work, you lazy piece of shit.” Ralph appeared beside me with a smirk on his face. He’s the son of the Alpha’s Beta Craig—another one who enjoys nothing more than making my life miserable.

I had just finished mopping the floors when my heart sank at his chirpy voice.

He was a handsome guy, tall and muscular. His thick brown hair was a mop of curls on his head; it fell over his dark green eyes. Most of the girls in the pack fell over to get his attention. Alice was the worst for it; she worshipped the ground he walked on. Always there, sticking to his arm like super glue. Any girl that looked his way would have a war on their hands, and if looks could kill, you would be dead.

I gulped nervously and gripped the mop handle, praying he would leave me alone to get on with my job.

I couldn’t take any more hassle.

“Can I get you anything, Mr Ralph?” I mumbled politely, hoping that he would not start anything.

He stuck his hands in his pockets and chucked at the pathetic sight of me.

“You know you would probably be quite pretty if you sorted yourself out occasionally.” He shook his head and strolled off down the long corridor.

I breathed a sigh of relief and continued my cleaning duty but suddenly spotted Alice glaring at me.

I didn’t have any luck.

“What were you doing flirting with my mate?” She growled, marching towards me and grabbing the mop off of me. I stepped back and tried to protect myself, but it was too late. She tipped the entire contents of the bucket over my head, soaking me through. I let out a shocked gasp as the water seeped through my clothes, revealing everything. She threw back her head and laughed.

A group of people walking by stopped to see what all the commotion was about.

They joined Alice in laughing and pointing at me.

I willed myself not to cry.

No tears Victoria, I told myself.

Please don’t give them the satisfaction of seeing you upset.

They were just a bunch of cowards.

“What is the meaning of this?” Alpha Evan roared from a few feet away.

Alice and her friends jumped apart and fell silent. I could see them trembling on the spot.

I was freezing, and the water was dripping from me. I stared at the mess all around me, knowing I would be up even longer tonight now, cleaning this all up while they were in bed sleeping.

Sleep.

Oh, I wish I could have the luxury of getting some decent sleep.

“Oh, Alpha, Victoria here was just cleaning, and she fell. We were trying to help. Isn’t that right, girls?” Alice stated, to which her friends instantly agreed, causing the alpha to snap his eyes at me.

“Is that correct, omega?” He thundered.

I nodded.

“Yes, sir. I will get it cleaned up immediately.” I began to clean it up, but he stopped me.

“We have visitors tomorrow. I want this place to look immaculate.” He growled.

“On your way now.” He ordered. The girls hurried off. And I was left on my own with the alpha.

He flared his nostrils and glared at me with disgust that I felt anxiety overtake me. I couldn’t breathe and just wanted the ground to swallow me up.

“I will get on with this, Alpha. Sorry for the mess.” I mumbled.

“Better be. I don’t want any problems when the Alpha of Blue Creek visits tomorrow. See to it that no problems occur. Or you omegas will face the consequences.” He snarled before he walked off towards the elevator.

I couldn’t stop the tears from falling the second he had gone, and I was alone. The mess was awful, and I was so cold. My body ached, and I longed for a nice bath and sleep. I would no doubt be up in a few hours to prepare breakfast and clean the packhouse, ready for another day of fresh hell.
