Athena

Lacey's POV:

I struggled to get up and grab the clothes, but I managed to get up and make my way to the laundry room. I separated all the clothes between who's was who's. I went to put the clothes in the washer, as I bent down to grab the detergent the pain from my ribs shot through me and I couldn't help but yelp and whimper a little. I close the lid on the washer, and grab the next set of clothes to be washed, and ignore the pain that's pounding through me. After I got all the clothes in the washer I sat down for a minute and took a look under my shirt. seeing the huge bruise across my left side of my stomach Briana definitely cracked 2 or 3 ribs.

I quickly put down my shirt before anyone walked in and decided to finish up my chores and go lay down before having to make lunch. After another hour or two I finished my chores and set off to my room. Well what I call a room, it's just a dusty old broom closet under the stairs. Ever since I was brought here and they started treating me as the slave, they thought I was a low-level Omega so they treated me as such. They thought I didn't deserve a room so they just shoved me in the old broom closet. When I reached "my room" I struggled to get comfortable because of my ribs but eventually laid down and closed my eyes to get some much needed rest before making lunch.

Damien's POV:

I made my way down the stairs and headed towards the kitchen for breakfast, making sure that I wasn't seen watching the incident with the rogue. I sat down and started eating breakfast my mind confused at the same question going through my mind, why am I feeling this way towards the rogue. I am of Alpha blood line, why would the moon goddess pair an Alpha and a low level Omega?

I was pulled out of my thoughts when my father was calling my name.

"Damien, are you okay?" my dad said.

"You look a little distracted, is there something bothering you?" my dad said.

"I am fine just need some fresh air, I am going to go for a run, I'll be back by lunch time." I simply replied putting on a fake smile.

" I know you have a lot on your mind between taking over as Alpha for the pack in 2 weeks and finding your mate but if u ever need anyone to talk to I am here son." my dad says.

"I am fine just need to clear my mind for a little bit, but thank you dad." I say before getting up from the table.

I get up from the table placing my plate and glass cup in the sink. I turn to leave the kitchen and walk out the back door. I go behind a tree and strip my clothes off before shifting into my wolf. I shift and turn into my big light brown with dark hints of brown on the edges of my fur and big dark brown eyed wolf. My wolf's name is Zeus, I let Zeus take over and I retreat into the back of my mind clearing it letting Zeus run off stretching his legs into the moist grass and dirt.

Lacey's POV:

I woke up still sore from my ribs being kicked, I made my way back to the laundry room putting changing the clothes from the washer to the dryer. I take a look at the time and see that I have only been asleep for about an hour, it's only ten thirty I'm gunna go for a run before I have to come back and make lunch. I step out of the laundry room and make my way to the back door, seeing no one insight I step outside and run behind a tree and strip my clothes off and shift into my wolf. I feel my bones break and adjust to how big my wolf is and feel the fur coming through my skin, before I knew it the transformation was done. I was a beautiful white wolf with silver eyes, for some reason I could not communicate with my wolf I don't know her name. We just just know when we need to transform. I let her take control and we took off into the Forrest rushing passed trees. We ran for about an hour before coming to a break in the trees, coming through the break we came upon a beautiful pond, the sky was blue, no clouds, can see the mountains in the distance. I decided to take a break and lay down in my wolf form beside the pond before going back to make lunch.

Damien's POV:

I was running and thinking clearing my mind of everything that happened this morning, I just don't understand why I would have these feelings for a low level Omega. I am an Alpha why would the moon goddess pair me with a wolf that low of a rank, I kept asking my self that question over and over again. "Our mate is our mate regardless of her rank we are supposed to love and cherish her no matter what" Zeus said to me.

"I am not going to mate with a low level Omega that would be bad for my soon to be pack" I said to Zeus. Then quickly pushed him to the back of my mind hushing him up, all of a sudden all my senses were on high alert. I smelt a wolf, I came to a complete stop, and I looked around but couldn't see anyone around me. I slowly crept around to an opening in the woods, that's when I saw the most beautiful white wolf ever seen. she was just laying down beside the pond. Impossible I thought to myself I've never seen a white wolf no one would believe me.

"I can not connect with her it's like there's no soul in her, no one to talk to" Zeus said.

I have to tell my dad I thought to myself, and Zeus agreed, but as I went to back up my paw stepped on a twig and it snapped catching her attention. I could see her and but she couldn't see me, I saw her Silver eyes the most beautiful eyes in the universe. She got up and ran off into the woods, I tried to follow her but she was to fast. When I reached the pack house I saw nobody around, I went in the house and found my father.

"Dad, is there such a thing as a white wolf with silver eyes?" I asked him.

My dad looked as if he was thinking and then he turned around and said.

"They are supposedly real but I've never seen one, they are supposedly legends, wolf's of the moon goddess herself, but no one has ever seen one" he said to me.

 

"What if I told you right now that I just seen one in the woods on our land." I said with out hesitation.

 

"Son, I think your just stressed out with you getting ready to take over the pack, and your Alpha ceremony coming up, and your birthday in a week, your probably just seeing things and need some rest" he said to me.

 

"I know what I saw, I'm not stressed I'm fine, I saw a white wo-" I was cut off by my father.

"ENOUGH!!, I SAID THEY ARE LEGENDS!!, THEY ARE NOT REAL NO ONE HAS SEEN ONE!!, JUST DROP IT!!!!" He yells at me.

 

With out saying anything I just storm out of his office and make my way up to my room, when I see the rogue walking towards the kitchen. I just watch her, she is holding her ribs as she walks towards the kitchen and something in me wants to just run to her and hold her and make sure she is okay. I push those thoughts away as she looks at me with those sincere eyes and slightly smiles at me but keeps moving passed me.I continue walking to my room and decide to take a nap maybe I am over thinking this.

 

Lacey's POV:

 

I have been at the beautiful pond for about an hour. While I am laying down by the pond enjoying the peace and quiet, all of a sudden my senses are alerted when I hear a twig snap in the woods around me. I look around but see nothing but something is telling me someone is watching me, I decide its better for me to head back to the pack house. it's rare to see a white wolf and I don't need any extra attention, it's bad enough I am the pack slave, everyone thinks I'm an omega low level wolf, everyone thinks I am trash, but nobody knows I'm of the Alpha blood line. my birthday is in a week, and I plan on leaving when I turn 18, and nobody can stop me.

 

I get up and take off in the woods, heading back towards the pack house. I hear somebody following me, so I speed up making sure to stay ahead of who ever is following me. Soon I don't hear anyone following me, as I returned back to the pack house I went behind the tree where my clothes were. I waited a few minutes making sure no one was around before shifting back, and getting dressed, and running in the house. When I get into the house I check the time, and I came back just in time to cook lunch.

 

I head to the bathroom and wash up before heading to the kitchen. After I was heading down towards the kitchen when I heard arguing down the hall. I decide to hide and hear what it was about, as I continue to listen it was Damien and his father the Alpha. They were talking about white wolves, and how they were from the moon goddess. My eyes widened in realization that it was Damien who was following me in the woods, I left quietly heading towards the kitchen.

 

When I was walking towards the kitchen Damien came storming passed me. I gave him a slight smile, and he just stopped and watched me walk past him before continuing heading up the stairs. When I got to the kitchen I decided to make something quick and easy, so I made burgers and fries. I decided to fry up some bacon and and I placed the bacon on a separate plate. I made the burgers and places Swiss cheese on a quarter of them then American on some and Muenster cheese on the rest and I placed those on a platter and placed the fries on another.

 

I grab the hamburger buns and threw some butter and garlic on them and used a flat skillet and toasted the buns. I placed everything on the table and went in the fridge getting ketchup, mayo, mustard, etc. I place the condiments on the table and, last but not least placing the pickles, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce on the table. Just as I was finishing up the table the pack house started filling up for lunch. I grabbed the dishes I had created making lunch and started washing them leaving everyone to eat lunch.

 

After taking care of the dishes I go back to the laundry room, and fold everyone's clothes. I finished folding clothes, and started to bring them to everyone's rooms. I drop off the alphas and Lunas with out issue, I drop off damiens with out issue, I had just dropped off Briana's when she walks into her room and sees me standing in her room. She immediately became furious.

 

"What the hell are you doing in my room?!" she said furiously.

 

"I am just dropping off your clo-" I was cut off by a slap to the face.

 

"Stay the hell out of my room trash, if my door is closed or I am not in here you do not come in here, you leave my basket of clothes by my door!" she stated seething in anger.

 

Before I had a chance to say anything she grabbed a fistful of my hair, and dragged me to her door. She flung me out of her room by my hair and she slammed the door. Now not only do my ribs hurt but now my head hurts as well, but I'm not allowed any type of medical care. Before anything else can happen I head down to the kitchen to do the lunch dishes and start dinner, I figure if I can get dinner and dessert done early I can go to my room for the rest on the night. I head to the kitchen and get the dishes done from lunch, and start putting away any left overs, when Damien walks in.

 

Damiens POV:

 

I wake up from my nap about 5:30 at night and I was starving because I skipped lunch. I decided to head down to the kitchen to get something to eat, and when I got there I see the rogue in the kitchen cleaning and starting to cook dinner. When I walk in she looks at me and gives me that slight smile.

 

"Hello, you skipped lunch are you hungry?" her angelic voice said.

 

With out changing any emotion on my face and with out saying anything I just nod my head indicating I was indeed hungry.

 

"Come sit at the island I will give some of the left overs from lunch, before I start dinner" she said sweetly, giving me a magical smile.

 

I sit at the island watching her move around the kitchen, pulling out containers. A few minutes later she slid a plate in front of me, on it a burger with the works and fries with bacon and cheese sauce, and a glass of ice cold soda. After sliding me my meal she got started on making dinner, she was making pork chops with fried potatoes and onions. She had most of the prep work done for dinner but then she was also making a dessert of some sort. After she had the pork chops on a platter, she set the table, and placed them in the center of the table.

 

Shortly after she had the fried potatoes and onions done, she also placed them on the table. She cleaned the dishes she used to make the fried potatoes and onions, and the pork chops. She was working on the dessert, there is one dessert that's made that everyone including I love, and that's the cheese Danish. I thought to myself there's no way she is going to make that she doesn't know how to she's a rogue, she's trash. Then for some reason I got angry with myself for saying those things and Zeus was upset about it to, but couldn't understand why I was so upset at myself about saying that when it's the truth.

 

I looked down and realized I had at every bit of food on my plate, she must have noticed and took my plate to clean it. I looked up at her and she had taken my plate and washed it. She placed it in the drain to dry, then went back to her dessert. I finished my soda, and went outside for fresh air until it was dinner time. About an hour and a half later it was dinner time, we all filed in and chowed down on pork chops and fried potatoes and onions.

 

When we moved on to dessert I was surprised it was cheese Danish, there was no way it was any good, I decided not to eat it. We all talked about my birthday, and the Alpha ceremony, and me getting ready to be Alpha soon. Shortly after dinner we all went our separate ways for the night, I walked passed the kitchen and it was nice and clean except for the dinner dishes from the table. That's when my father stopped me.

 

"Damien go get the girl, and have her come do the dishes from dinner please, then go to bed we have an early day tomorrow." he said.

 

I just nodded to him, and went off to look for her. I checked every where but could not find her, I tried to sniff her out but it is like she has no scent. I had to use the bathroom, so I went inside, and that's when I found her. I walked in to her holding up her shirt, I saw her ribs with a nasty black and purple bruise on her, along with the two gashes on her face. I already knew who gave them to her, but I didn't know that she was that skinny and worn down wasn't she eating I thought to myself.

 

I became angry at this but pushed down those feelings, that's when reality came back to me because she gasped and fixed herself, she started apologizing and she ran passed me out of the bathroom. I tried to find her again but to no avail, I decided to go get the dishes done and went to bed it was already 11 at night and I had to be up by 6 in the morning. After getting the dishes done I climb up the stairs and made it to my room, I climbed into my bed exhausted drifting off to sleep, thinking about the rogue and her condition that she's in.

 

Laceys POV:

 

Damien had walked in to the kitchen and I told him to sit at the island, he indicated he was hungry so I pulled a couple of the left overs out and made him a burger with the works along with some bacon cheesy fries. I continued with my work, until I noticed he had ate all the food so I took the plate and washed it. Before I knew it he had finished his soda and left I took the glass and washed it as well, I had the table set and dinner made. I made the cheese Danish it was the only thing I was actually really good at dessert wise. I sliced the Danish into pieces and placed them on the table for dessert, I knew Damien liked the cheese Danish, I have seen him eat it multiple times, and always talked about how good it was.

 

He never knew who actually made it though, once that was done and I cleaned the dishes I used to make it I went to the bathroom before heading to my room (closet) for the night. When I got into the bathroom I cleaned my gashes on my face from when Briana slapped me with her ring, so they will not get too infected. I pulled up my shirt revealing a huge nasty black and purple bruise over my ribs on the left side of my body. It hurt so much and I had nothing to take for it, then I looked at my self and saw how skinny I was.

 

I kept thinking what did I do to deserve this, why can't I communicate with my wolf? why me? That's when I noticed Damien in the mirror behind me staring at me. He looked like he was in a trance like he was thinking about something, but never said anything just stared at me. I quickly fixed my shirt and apologized to him and ran passed him to my room (closet) and stayed there the rest of the night. I laid down because I knew I had to get up early and make breakfast. Just as I was almost asleep I heard some one calling my name.

 

"Lacey" someone said.

 

I ignored it thinking I was going crazy, but I heard it again.

 

"Lacey, hello Lacey" it said again.

 

"Hello is someone there?" I said

 

"Hello Lacey, it's nice to finally meet you"

 

"who are you?" I asked.

 

"Lacey, My names Athena, we can finally communicate, I am your wolf." she said in the sweetest voice.
