I stared at her and shook my head. I picked another color that I thought would be too bright for her but since that was what she wanted then I'll apply it to her.
"Do not waste my time, do that fast and polish my shoes" she sneered, glaring at me.
I simply nodded and started polishing her nails as fast and neat as I could.
Few minutes in, the door opened and Anna, the last daughter of the Luna walked into the room smiling widely but immediately her eyes met with mine, her smiles vanished and was replaced with a scowl.
"Why are you mopping at me, do you want to bewitch me or haven't you seen a beautiful lady in your life before?" She snickered and I simply lowered my head not wanting to say a word to her not like I have anything to say unless I want to be punished.
"I want my hair fixed and my toenails too and I think mother also wants hers fixed so you better be fast about that because we have somewhere to go" Anna said fixing her gaze at me.
"Ok, I'll be fast" I muttered quietly and she rolled her eyes going straight to her sister's closet.
Sometimes I wonder why I'm being treated like a rogue in my own father's house. Did I even say rogue? Even rogues are treater way better than I am.
Not a single person ever spoke nicely to me. It's always Zendaya do this, Zendaya do that, and lots of insultive names that make me feel worthless.
I'm not even allowed to say who I was to people outside the pack house because to every other werewolf who doesn't live in the packhouse, Alpha Rufus was a kind and generous Alpha who cares for everyone around him but never did they know I'm being subjected to great suffering by the same said kind man.
No one except the top pack members which are the Beta and Gamma with few of the top warriors who lived with us in the pack house knew I existed.
But they were meant to keep my existence as secret and I wasn't meant to expose which pack I'm from.
The alpha made sure he wiped off the pack scent from my body and no one would know what pack I'm from by sniffing me.
All these was because he was ashamed of me and wouldn't want anyone knowing he cheated on his Luna.
Even though I still bear his last name Roberto but the fact that my scent was hidden, no one would know I'm related to him.
I do not blame my mother for everything that happened because I knew she couldn't fight back.
She was just the daughter of a pack member whose rank was lower and was working in the packhouse.
When she got pregnant with me, the alpha lied to other wolves that she was a slut who was sleeping around and thus got pregnant so in order to punish her, he decided to keep her as a slave in the packhouse forever.
Her parents found out and out of pain, they disowned her without trying to find out what actually happened from her. Her mate also rejected her, leaving her all alone.
When most of the pack members found out I bear Roberto as my last name, the Alpha further lied to them, saying he was doing me a favor to bear his last name since I have an unknown father.
They all called him kind and generous until the Luna found out I'm actually his daughter but instead of saying out the truth, they all concealed it and that was the beginning of my suffering.
if only my mother wasn't beautiful and serving the Luna, Alpha Rufus wouldn't have forced himself on her.
My mother is the only person I'm living for, if not for her I would have taken my life a long time ago but if I do such a thing then how would she survive living in this pack and doing everything alone.
"Sis are these the clothes you shopped yesterday with Madison?" Anna asked pouting her little lips as she started bringing out tons of shopping bags filled with accessories from the closet and emptying them on the bed.
"Yeah, father took us out for shopping, you weren't around but do not worry because I picked some for you," Maya said and pointed at a few bags which were filled to the brim with fashion accessories.e
Oh, you picked all these for me? Awww you are such a darling sister and I love you so much" Anna smiled and gave Maya a one-sided hug while carrying the bags on the other side.
I stare at them, fighting back the tears that are threatening to pour and expose me. I also desire to be loved, to be considered a person and their sister but I do not think any of that would ever be possible.
The nail polish I was holding mistakenly fell and emptied on the floor.
"What the hell!!!" Maya yelled as her palm collided with my face in a thunderous slap which turned my head to the side.
Before I could get over the shock of Maya's slap, Anna also landed hers more resounding than Maya's.
"I'm sorry please, I didn't mean to- it slipped from my hand" I uttered, tears tricking down my face down to my cloth and into my chest.
"You must be very stupid, do you know how much this nail polish cost? Can you and your useless mother afford it? How dare you waste mine?" She growled raising her hands to hit me again.
"I'm sorry" I grieved making Anna roll her eyes. You do not need to be sorry because your stupid sorry would not replace the Polish so you better get it at the back of your mind that you would replace it" she said and focused back on examining her clothes.
"I do not have any money to use and replace the Polish, please forgive me" I begged to kneel. "You should have thought of that when you decided to act clumsy and ruin my newly gotten expensive and designer polish," Maya said not sparing me a glance. "We all know you have never touched money with your hands because your bitchy mother who thought she could reap from where she did not sow could never provide it for you, you will have to starve for two days," Anna said smirking. I nodded my head hastily and they both roll their eyes. "Be fast with this and get out of here" Maya said and picked up her phone I haven't even had anything to eat since yesterday and starving had already became a part of me that I no longer bother about food. As long as they keep my mother out of this and not go about calling her names, I wou
"Liar!" She exclaimed hitting my head then snatching the plate from my hand. She smelled the plate and busted out laughing. "You are such a lame thief and a liar. I have always known you were a petty criminal and I have waited to catch you red-handed in the act and now that I have, you are doomed" she muttered with a smirk. "I did not steal the food and this is also my father's house" I mumbled in a low tone which was supposed to be inaudible to her but she obviously heard it due to her wolf's hearing ability and next, a stinging slap landed on my cheek. "You had it when it isn't time for you to, doesn't that make you a thief? And I'm sure your sl*tty mother gave it to you or did you steal it yourself?" She asked and my blood ran hot immediately she called my mother sl*tty but I managed to calm down. There's nothing I could do anyway and even if I try to do anything, it would be putting me and my mother into more pains and sufferings. "Do not
"It's nothing Maya" I muttered and she scoffed pulling me out and turning my back forcefully to reveal the plate. "Tsk! She chuckled deadly, her brows rising in scorn. She smirked and clapped her hands in a mockery manner. "You stole our food didn't you?" She asked, her eyes snapping wickedly. "I didn't steal the food, It was Just a used plate which was in our room that I decided to bring to the kitchen" I lied. I would never tell them my mother gave me the food because I do not want my mother going through any punishment because of me. "Oh really? How convincing is that? Do you think I'm daft not to know this plate was just used?" She asked and I swallowed and kept quiet. You are ready shameless and stupid. I can't believe you steal food Zendaya" she scorned. "I didn't steal the food and
Her eyes met with mine and she gave me a reassuring smile. Behind those smiles, I could see the hidden pains. I could see the broken heart she was trying to mask with her smiles. I blinked away the tears on my eyes and wiped them off with my shoulder as my hands were tied to the pole. "We heard from Maya that you stole food from the kitchen, did you do that?" The Alpha's cruel voice rang out. No need to deny anything because it makes no sense and would change nothing. They would still give me punishments whether I deny or accept and denying would make it worse so I just nodded my head in affirmation. "You have no fear to go into my household kitchen and steal food from my pot, how dare you?" The Luna yelled as her hot palm collided with my face. The pain stung me hard and I bite on my inner cheek to hold it in and prevent myself from crying.
"You better be fast with that, I want my hair looking breathtaking else you will be in big trouble," Madison said to me as I style her hair. I simply ignored her rants and continued with brushing her extension. The week had been a rollercoaster of emotion for me but thanks to the goddess, I came out alive after the hell of punishment been melted out to me. I had just finished working at the construction site and was finally given food after seven days of starvation and torture. I couldn't even count how many times I collapsed. I was on my way to our tiny room to rest and see how my mother had been doing when Madison called me to style her hair. I wanted to decline but I just couldn't, I had to follow her into her room. "Maddy guess what?" Anna yelled from outside coming into the room with a big smile plastered on her face.
~~~XANDER~~~ On getting down from the plane and looking around in search of the guards my mother sent to pick me up from the airport, I finally spotted them coming towards me in a haste. I sighed in frustration as they got to me and prostrated in greetings. This place sucks and this people too. I began walking to the car ignoring their greetings as they followed behind with my luggages. On getting to the Maybach packed few meters away from where I stood before, one of the guard opened the car door and I got into the back sit. The car reversed and drove out of the airport into the streets of my pack. Staring out of the windows, reminds me so much of the time I was here. Those times I enjoyed being here but now, mere looking at these Street makes me want to puke. I brought out my headse
The doctor took his gaze to the floor and nodded making me sprang up to my feet. "What nonsense are you talking about? That the lady I brought here myself has disappeared?" I asked turning to the nurse and trying to understand what she meant. "I'm afraid yes. I went to check on how she's doing and administer drugs to her but found the bed empty. I also went into the bathroom thinking she went to ease herself but it was also empty. I searched around the whole ward but couldn't find her" the nurse said and I chuckled, the whole thing sounding off to me. How possible could that be, if the said she was too weak from the abuse she went through, then how on earth would she be able to get up from the bed and leave the hospital on her own and does it mean nobody saw her leaving or what? "You both must really be kidding me because I do
My mother's health is in a critical condition and she must not die" I said trying to push my way out. "Well, your mother would not die because we would get her drugs. Come with me to the hospital" he said and started walking back into the hospital. I simply followed him in giving him some gap because I do not entirely trust him. He may be taking me back to the doctor because I ran out of the hospital. Well, my guess was totally right as well as wrong because he took me to the doctor who asked me what was wrong with my mother and prescribed drugs to her after I had explained to them that I won't be able to get her to the hospital because my pack alpha won't allow that. Mr. Xander as he said his name was took me back home. He stopped at the boundary on my request and I had to run through the woods and back into the packhouse successfully sneaking into our room without being noticed.
