Samantha sighed as she got up. Alpha had hit her yet again last night. No matter what she did, he was always mad at her lately. She couldn't do anything right. She painfully pulled her small, eight year old body out of the closet that Alpha insisted that she sleep in.She quickly looked around and relaxed when she realized that he was already gone for the day. She remembered that they were having a new pack visit for some training today and reasoned that he left early to greet them. She better get to work while everyone was out of the pack house. Alpha wanted her to clean the house but she was forbidden from letting anyone see her. It made her life even more difficult. Alpha would hit her if she didn't get her work done but he would also hit her if anyone saw her. She didn't stand a chance most days but since everyone should be at training, she should have a few hours to clean. Hopefully she could most of her weekly cleaning done and Alpha would be please

Ash and Luna Sara finished helping Samantha with her bath a while later. They helped her dry off and put her in a big, soft robe. They led her into her room."We can redo your room so it's the way you like it" Luna Sara said and Samantha nodded."It's already beautiful" Samantha said."We can have some pack member's paint it and get you some new furniture in the next week. We'll have to go shopping for more clothing too but Mary ran to the mall when we got home and got you some casual clothes, pjs and a dress for tonight along with some under ware" Sara explained as she opened the door and Mary walked through with a huge amount of bags."I hope that I got the right size" Mary lamented as she smiled at Samantha."Thank you" Samantha said as she hugged Mary."It was my pleasure, baby. I hope that you like them." Mary replied, looking proudly at the girl. The ladies c

POV SamanthaI showered and dressed quickly. I was just finishing my hair and makeup when Troy knocked on the bathroom door." You look nice. You ready?" he asked and smiled at me."Yep, where's Stacey?""She's already downstairs. You covered those hickeys right? Dad will kill Jon if he sees them" Troy added."They've already healed" I retorted and he shook his head."You know that you don't love him? I can tell" Troy began. I sighed."I know, he knows. Trust me. It's okay. Don't start" I snapped and he nodded."Okay. Okay. Let's go. We don't want to be late" he replied and offered me his arm. Together we stepped out into the hall. Sean and Jules were behind us."You look great, little one" Sean whispered."Thanks, so do you" I replied with a smile. We walked down

POV Samantha"Please wait here while I wash up and change my shirt" Lance requested.I nodded and he walked to a door and opened it to reveal a bathroom. I heard water running."Hey, baby? Can you please bring me my shirt? It's hanging on the back of the door." He called."Fine" I mumbled.I spotted the black button up hanging in a dry cleaners back. I grabbed it and walked over to the bathroom."Here" I snapped and he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the bathroom.I realized then that he was very shirtless and very close.

POV SamanthaTraining started as usual. Troy made us stretch and warm up as normal. Then he made us do sit ups and push ups. I hate push ups."Okay, now let's do a warm up jog. Everyone follow Samantha and don't expect to keep up with her" Troy ordered with a smirk.The rest of my pack chuckled as the others looked confused at me. I shrugged. I started to jog and the rest fell in line behind me. Of course, Lance caught up to me as soon as possible but I knew that he wouldn't be a problem for long."Why did Troy say that we shouldn't try to keep up with you?" he demanded and I smiled."You'll see" I teased and he shook his head.
