Cursed from Birth

Nana rushed over, her aged body moved swiftly as it could carry her and tapped Amelia on her shoulders. The sudden jolting of her body had awakened her and she just was in time to see her eyes return back to normal from its yellowish colour.

She saw her skin covered in sweat and she knew, it's the usual thing she suffers from. She sat at the edge of her bed and took her hand until Amelia spoke “Nana, why are you sitting there like a baby that will roll off my bed” she teased, climbing out of bed.

She stood up upright and yawned, stretching her thin body as if she was tired from an all night exhaustive work. Nana glared at her, just what kind of a girl is Amelia?

“Amelia, do you remember anything about your nightmares when you wake up in the morning?” She asked. This girl has been suffering severe nightmares and her eyes open and close, each time leaving her eyes glowing yellow.

“No Nana. I don't remember anything. Besides, I don't think I have ever had a dream in my life” Amelia replied naively. Besides waking up weak and exhausted, there's nothing else she can say.

Nana nodded and let Amelia go. She sat and sighed softly. She'd told her to go and fetch some herbs to make a concoction for her. She'd been weak and sickly since she was a child. She is the daughter of the Pack's Beta.

Amelia has been unfortunate from birth. She was born while her mother died. She was abandoned and thrown away by her father who tagged her cursed.

She had suffered rejection and humiliation and her only sin was being wolfless, the cursed daughter of the Beta. Her story resonates in the ears of everyone in the Cliffwood pack.

Amelia really looks weak. She appears fragile and weightless as if a little storm would carry her off. Nana sighed softly. She's a wolfless omega and yet, suffers nightmares. What game exactly was the moon goddess playing with Amelia's life?

Amelia had just returned from the forest where she went to fetch some herbs. She slung the apprentice bag across her shoulders. The great healer welcomed her and told her to have her breakfast but Amelia refused.

“Oh no,Nana. I'll just get to the water centre and get us water” she said, half way through the door but the healer stopped her “Amelia….go well…” Nana said, concerned that she works harder than her fragile body looks.

She should have taken her breakfast first. Amelia nodded and dashed off.

When Amelia arrived at the water centre, she waited patiently in queue. She doesn't have a friend. No one was interested in talking to her, she's wolfless and useless and more than that, she's cursed.

When it was her turn to fetch water, she was pushed off and because she's light and weightless, she lost her balance and came falling face down to the earth.

“Oh, the cursed thing wants to fetch water as well?” One of the girls mocked and others giggled aloud. They all spat on Amelia and seeing how she struggled to stand back on her feet, her dress was now stained with the red mouldy soil.

“What do you think girls, she needs a bath, right?” The girl who pushed her earlier said,in a pitiful but mockery tone. She placed her finger on her lips, staring at Amelia in amusement.

“Yes Linda. She might be wolfless and useless but being dirty will only magnify her cursed personality. Let's help her with a bath, we're good people after all, "another girl added.

Amelia knew what it meant when they said they were going to give her a bath. She held her bucket and said “Stay away from me. I haven't done anything to you all”

“Did you hear her? She said she hadn't done anything to us. She doesn't want to accept our generosity and kindness. But because we are born full blood, we can't help it but be good to her anyways, right girls?” Linda chuckled aloud.

They pulled Amelia forcefully and forced her under the running water…
