Our pack was attacked by rogues four years ago. My father was a warrior and was killed during the attack along with my younger half brother and sister. Benjamin and Brianna were twins that belonged to my father and his second chance mate Ursa, they were playing in the front yard when the attack occurred. They were only eleven when they were killed. Ursa is my stepmother and has never really treated me well. I was a spitting image of my mother and reminded her of my father’s true love. My mother died when I was a baby, no one ever talked about her, and I only have two photos of her.
When the attack occurred, I was cleaning the attic and organizing the boxes up there, just as Ursa had told me to do. I had done everything she had asked me to do and tried to gain her love and affection, but she never liked me. She faked being nice to me when my father was around and only tolerated me. Now, she had an excuse to really hate me, she blamed me for the death of her children. Ursa often said I should have been watching them in the yard and keeping them safe. I was only fourteen, unable to shift or do anything. Sometimes I think she blames me for surviving and wishes I had died that day. On occasion, even I find myself wishing I had died that day too.
After my father and siblings were buried, Ursa threw me out of my father’s house which had belonged in the Michaels family for generations. The house was rightfully mine, but the Alpha did nothing about it. Ursa also happens to be Miranda’s aunt, being cruel runs in their blood.
Ranger’s father was Alpha Knox LaRue, he was good friends with my father, who was his best warrior. Alpha Knox had also lost his mate, our Luna, in the same rogue attack. He took pity on me and gave me a nice room at the pack house. He was always nice to me.
Two months later, Alpha Knox’s oldest son Ranger, became twenty-one and took over our pack as Alpha of Dark Moon. Ursa’s niece, Miranda, hated me and she was a popular girl because she was the daughter of our Beta, her brother Max is now the Beta. Miranda turned all the kids against me, and I had no friends. The few friends I had started avoiding me. I became a loner and the pack punching bag in two short months of losing everything, my family, friends and home.
Alpha Knox lives in the Alpha family home a few miles north of the pack house and is rarely seen around. I assume he’s either become a hermit or is traveling. Ranger doesn’t have a Luna yet, because of this, Ursa became Ranger’s house manager and runs the day to day operations of the pack house. She immediately moved me out of my comfortable room at the pack house and down to the basement in the Laundry room.
I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard some footsteps behind me and turned around to find Miranda standing there with her minions.
“What now?” I asked feeling annoyed.
“Someone needs an attitude adjustment. Let’s give this little thief what she deserves.” She smirked back.
I was always so busy with housework, that I was never allowed to train. I was weak and they preyed on weakness. I tried to run back to the pack house but was grabbed by Beth, a mean girl with a hard punch. She punched me in the mouth and split my lip wide open as I hit the tree behind me. When I landed on the ground, all five of them started kicking me all over. I tried to curl up in a ball and protect myself as much as I could.
“Look at her, she’s so weak.” One of the girls said.
“She needs to be put in her place.” Beth said.
“You’re sad and pathetic Lucy, no one is ever going to want you.” Miranda spat.
Someone landed a hard kick to the back of my head and I saw stars. The forest was spinning, and I couldn’t see straight, everything was blurry. From a distance I heard a familiar male voice call out, “What’s going on? What have you done?”
I felt warm strong arms lift me up and carry me as the darkness pull me under.
