The alpha's mate

Alexis' pov

Thud! I fell off of my bed at the sound of my alarm, which was a mixture of a creepy laugh and a scream from a horror movie. "Damn it." I'd originally set it that way to make sure I don't fall back asleep but for the past week I've been scared into waking up. Not that am complaining it's actually helped me be able to go to school earlier than usual.

I got up and headed to my tiny bathroom, the smell of mold eating away at it. The tiles were already cracking and green stuff was growing within them.

I hurried to take a bath and went into my drawer for fresh clothes. Not that I had many, only five pairs of jeans and a few tops here and there.

Life wasn't that good to me. I grew up an orphan with no one to take care of me. By the time I turned fourteen I left the pack house because nobody wanted me there and I got constantly bullied. I had to take on any jobs I could find just to survive.

The only advantage I have is that being a werewolf, I can attend school on their scholarship program.

It was brought so that every one of us was educated and trained for the werewolf life. Sounds cliché but that's what Mrs Peterson told me the day I wanted to drop out and fend for myself.

I looked at the watch and saw I still had an hour before school started. I grabbed a pair of worn out blue jeans and a black T-shirt, along with my old sneakers and grabbed my back pack heading down the stairs.

The school bus didn't reach this side of the town considering it's condition and the fact that no one would expect a teenager to live in such an environment.

I arrived with twenty minutes to spare and headed towards my locker to retrieve my books. As I turned I bumped into someone, Natasha, the daughter of the former beta.

"Don't you have eyes!" She screamed at me as she looked in disgust.

"With a body like yours am not surprised you can't even walk properly." Her friends laughed as they stared amused.

"Am sorry," was all I mumbled . I felt ashamed as people stared at me. I don't know why she hated me. I've never done anything to offend her but whenever she spots me it's like I am her number one enemy. She had been like that from the very beginning. First she just gave me ugly looks from a distance then she started attacking me with insults and pranks. One time I was invited to the pack house by a boy who I bumped into. When she found me there with him she slapped me so hard it left a mark. Then she reported me to her dad that I was stealing. He didn't punish me because there was no evidence but it made her to hate me even more. The bullying got so much worse that I decided to move out and find a place of my own. But despite that she still keeps making things hard for me.

She was about to say something until Michael showed up.

"Is everything okay here?" he asked with a stern voice.

"Everything's fine."Natasha replied in a high pitched voice that wasn't really pleasant to listen to. It's obvious she was interested in him and expected to become the future luna. Ya Michael is our pack's alpha. He's only seventeen but has managed to accomplish so much in the two years he has been alpha.

He gave her a nod before glancing at me, a hint of worry in his eyes. Maybe it's just pity because of my situation.

Before anything else could happen the bell rang and I quickly walked to my class.
