The CEO's Secret and Lies

“Janelle, Isa, RUN!” The Luna screams at me and her daughter. We don’t move an inch, too scared of the sight before us. 

“Isa, I said RUN! That’s an order. Take Janelle and warn the Alpha.” The Luna yells, looking me in the eyes. She ordered me. I’m compelled to move. I grab my best friend's hand, and she screams at me to let her go. She wants to stay with her mother. 

As we run I hear her screams over and over again, and I know we will be too late. The rogues came out of nowhere, and we were taken by surprise. I can’t mindlink because I haven’t got my wolf yet. 

“DADDY! DADDY!” Janelle yells when we are within earshot. We are both covered in rogue blood, and a sight to see. 

“Princess!” He yells back, completely ignoring my presence. 

I wake in a sweat in my tiny shoe closet room. It was converted after the incident with the Luna. The dream is always the same. How we are surprised out in the clearing in the forest. She had taken me and Janelle to have a girls picnic, when suddenly the rogues came out of nowhere. 

After the attack and the death of Luna Michelle, the Alpha took it out on me. He blamed me for the whole thing and for abandoning his Luna midst the attack, knowing full well that I could never go against a direct order from her. I might be a beta’s daughter, but she was still my superior. And I was ten years old at the time. 

For the last eight years my life took a turn to hell. The Alpha became angry and cruel, especially towards me. Janelle, who had been my best friend in childhood, hated me as well for dragging her ass back to the pack - completely overlooking the fact that I saved her miserable life in the process. She became everything her mother had taught her not to be; self centered, snobbish and a bratty bitch. She became one of my biggest tormentors, even turning my own brother against me. 

Yes, I have a brother. A twin to be exact - a younger twin. His name is Alex, and he is one son of a bitch. The bitch being my cold and distant mother. She and my father disowned me a year after Luna Michelle died, seeing how the Alpha behaved. He named me an omega, the lowest of the low, even though he couldn’t do that. He had no power in naming an innocent child to lose her status, and the elders denied him to do so. So, even to this day I am still a beta in rank, but treated like a rogue or infested individual. 

My parents moved me out of my room upstairs, saying I was the shame of the family and I could now live in the shoe closet under the stairs. My only response was to roll my eyes and move my things. 

They all stopped being my family the moment they refused to protect me from the Alpha’s craziness. 

I had a little revenge a couple of months ago though; they had taken me and Alex out to buy him a new car. Clearly taking me to flaunt the fact that he got something major and I wouldn’t. Taking into account they both tried their hardest to show a good face out to the human world of being the perfect parents. So when the sales assistant asked what I wanted, I looked at my parents who became flustered, not counting on that question. They couldn’t tell him they weren’t getting me anything, already having told him we were twins and their youngest needed a new car. Fucking idiots. 

So, I got a new car as well. And I was smart that day - I had the assistant talk them into signing it in my name, because my 18th birthday at the time was only a month away. 

It was all worth the beating when we came home. Honestly, their hits and kicks don't even face me anymore. The one good thing from this was that no one ever paid much attention to my coming and going. So, without anyone’s knowledge I started in a dojo in town, earning three different black belts over the course of four years - perks of being a werewolf. 

I never used it on anyone at the pack, but I will need it when I leave. 

My birthday is tomorrow, but at midnight my wolf will come to me, and we will shift tomorrow evening. Before that, though, I am going to get the hell out of here. I refuse to stay in a pack of mutts and abusers. 

“Wakey wakey, little wolf.” Alex says from outside of my closet door, not knowing I’ve been up for the last several hours due to my dream. I’m sitting outside on the porch, but I can hear him clear as day. The evil undertone in his voice doesn’t bode well. 

“What the fuck.” He says when he opens the door, and my room is empty. 

“Did you want something, brother dear?” I asked from behind him. He jumps in surprise, and turns around with a sneer. 

“There you are. I need to get some excess energy out, and you are going to help me. You and I are going to spar.” He says with a smirk. I roll my eyes. 

“Yeah, you keep on dreaming little brother. I will do no such thing. Think of the shame of showing your parents a broken nose.” I say back, as I shove by him. I already showered, ate and got ready. Knowing I was shit out of luck in the eating department if I didn’t do it before people in this hell house woke up.

“I don’t have time for your foolishness. Why don’t you beat that idiot of an alpha-to-be to a pulp instead?” I ask with an eye roll, as I walk out the door with my school bag. 

Alex growls at my insult to his best friend and alpha-to-be Jefferson or Jeff for short. He is almost as big an asshat as my brother and Janelle put together. I wave a hand before jumping into my car. 

Nothing is getting in the way of me getting my graduation papers today, even though it’s a week early. I finished everything already, and I want it so I can get the hell out of here tonight.
