Chapter 01

The beginning of misery.

Alexa:

"Come here you fool, how dare you touch my stuff with your filthy hands?" A slap landed across my face as Natasha spoke. It turned my face as white as snow, but I dared not raise my head to stare at her, or even whimper. I had no right to.

"I'm sorry. I was only trying to arrange your stuff in order and I forgot my gloves."

She yanked my hair and made sure I fell on the floor, then she began stepping all over me.

"What the fuck is all the ruckus about sister?" Natalia, her twin sister, requested as she came towards us. 

"Can you imagine? This fool laid her filthy hands on my stuff."

"What the…. Is that true witch?"

I was used to the name witch, and I dared not stay silent when I'm being called by that name. I nodded her head slowly knowing that I would certainly receive another round of beating.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

She kicked me hard on my stomach, and I winced in pain. "I'm really sorry." 

Their father Alpha Kyle came towards us, and that was the moment I knew I was done for. He would certainly kill me if he found out what happened, and why his daughters were ranting.

I went on my knees in pain immediately I saw him. "Alpha." I greeted, but he ignored me.

"Natasha, what's wrong, I heard your voice from miles away." He asked. She ran town him and pointed at me. "She touched my stuffs with her filthy hands."

My heart continued thumping harder as he stared at me with his big grey eyeballs. I swallow a lump of saliva down my throat. "Stand up." He ordered, and I immediately rose up on my feet without wasting not even a second.

"I'm so . sorry Alpha, it was…"

I received a resounding slap before I could even complete my statement. "Did I ask you to say a word?" He questioned, and I shook my head in negation.

He called on one of the guards outside. "Teach her a good lesson." He ordered and I was being dragged away. I saw the smile on Natasha's face, and I knew she was definitely happy. I had seen her with a guy yesterday in bed and I guess this was to teach me a good lesson for spying on them.

An hour later, I crawled to my room in pain and in misery. I was hurting so much. How could they all treat me like I wasn't their family. I laid on the bunk bed in the storage room. This had been turned into my room since I was brought to my uncle.

I am Alexa Williams. I'm almost 20. I guess my twentieth birthday would be another added year of misery for me. When I was 10, my parents were murder right before my very own eyes. I watched them get beheaded by a cruel monster with no heart of mercy

I watched my pack snatched by him, and I watched everything my father built since the day he was coronated Alpha crumble into pieces when he took over.

The wicked man who planned all of this from the beginning was him. My uncle. Everything came crumbling in just a day, and I became a slave afterwards. He could have killed me too. I wonder why he didn't let me join my parents wherever they were.

I picked up the old sheets and covered my body with it. I was still hurting so bad from the lashes. 

Tears rolled down my eyes. This was cruel. Was fate no longer on my side? What the hell did me and my parents do to deserve everything? 

My door slowly creaked open, and Tasha walked in. I rose up on my feet, and lowered my head.

She came close to me and used one finger to cover her nose, while the other was used to touch my hair. "You stink so bad. Yunno what?"

I remained silent, but when she yanked my hair, I was forced to wince in pain.

"I remember her." She said.

"You always have that look. Her eyes." 

I didn't understand what she was talking about. "Your poor mother." She whispered, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat. "My mother?" I thought inwardly and allowed tears to roll down my eyes freely.

"She was fucking stupid. She had this innocent look too and I hated her so much. Her smiles, they were so stupid and it was so easy to always fool her. She never deserved what she got. My father was the one who deserved to be alpha from the beginning, but your throne snatcher of a father deceived everyone into making him the Alpha."

I tried to contain my anger, but I couldn't. Why was she so mad at me tonight? What was she reminded of? What really happened?

I tried not to push myself away from me because I wasn't ready to face the consequences of my action if I did. It was really clear she was only trying to provoke me.

"She was meant to be nothing more than a slave. Just like you." She said, and that was it. I lost it. I pushed her with all the strength I could gather, making her wince in pain as she fell on the floor. How dare she call my mother a slave, after everything my mother did for her, and Talia.

They had nowhere to go. My father took them in, and made me grow up with these bitches even though they always bullied me secretly. My father treated them like his. How dare she talk ill about My parents even though her father killed them.

I stopped breathing hard when I didn't see her move. She laid on the floor motionless. I tried not to be scared. It was only a simple act. Tasha always tries to get me into trouble using every means possible.

"You should stand up now. I know it's only an act. Fine, torture me all you want again, but I won't let you call my parents name." I yelled at her, but even after a few seconds, she didn't move. I was beginning to get a bad feeling. I started walking towards her, and I went on my knees.

"Tasha?" I called, but there was no response.

"Tasha? Please, I'm sorry. Can you hear me Tasha?" I called again, but there was still no response from her. My heart had already started thumping hard.

When I raised her head, I saw blood. I nearly screamed out loud, but then I held my mouth with my palm. If I screamed, I I would certainly attract someone's attention and if they found out, I would surely be killed immediately.

I crawled backwards. "Tasha? I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to hurt you. I swear, I swear, I didn't mean to hurt you. Please wake up. Wake up, why are you doing this to me? Wake up." 

I had already crawled back towards her. I kept tapping her cheeks, but there was no response. I was slowly losing my mind already. How could she be this weak. The alpha would definitely not spare me if he finds out.

I was panicking already as I thought of what to do. The only idea that came to mind was to run far away from here. I had nowhere to go, but it was better than death itself.

I sluggishly rose up on my feet because they were shaking, and just when I wanted to take a step, my door creaked open again.

"Tasha?" Talia's voice came next and I immediately froze on my spot.
