A rose dedicated to Alpha Aiden

Chapter 1

-Anastasia’s POV-

On my way home — or should I say the place where I slept? — I couldn’t help but think of what I had been through this morning. Jenna and Anne ripped off my top and called me the sex slave of the Alpha’s two sons after they saw the bruises all over my body.

“If only I can help you, I will beat up that b*tch.” Amy popped out and growled in my mind. She was my wolf, but we couldn’t shift. So everyone thought I had no wolf even though I explained that I had a wolf. They didn’t trust me and called me a liar since they all couldn’t mindlink me.

It’s been two years since my older brother dumped me to our aunt and left with no reason. And it’s been two years since I lived in hell, suffering from my peers’ jeers and my aunt’s torturing on my own. I guessed I would end up dead soon cause I couldn’t bear living in such a shit life anymore.

“Do your chores, you lazy rat!” A woman’s sharp voice belonging to Aunt Mary brought me out of my reverie, but I knew I was now in the real-life nightmare which I would never get rid of.

“Clean up the dishes!” Aunt Mary added in her usual commanding way before she slammed my bedroom door shut.

My aunt is the Luna of Black Mountain pack. She raised me with her two sons after my parents died and my only brother left, but I didn’t feel indebted to her. She would pretend to be nice to me in front of the pack to make herself look selfless, but ordered me to do all the chores at home, made me eat the leftovers, and sleep in the hovel.

She treated me like dirt for a variety of reasons, but the main reason was … I couldn’t shift.

Yeah, I had a wolf, to whom I can talk, but so what? No one else could contact my wolf, and it’s the same as wolf-less. So, I was supposed to be her own slave cause she gave food and shelter to me, the inferior Omega.

As the cold water flew from the tap, I washed the dishes like a robot. Tears flowed down my cheeks. I knew I had to endure this because of my identity, but I just needed to suffer from this for half a year before I graduated from school and left the shithole.

“I wish I could do the chores for you,” Amy murmured sadly in my mind.

“Don’t worry, pup.” I faked a smile. “It’s gonna be over one day.”

“Hey, b*tch. Doing your slave job, huh?” Jack’s voice came from behind. I knew he must be drunk because he always drank with his ‘friends’ when the Alpha was not home. So did his younger brother Jason.

“Yes?” I took in a deep breath and turned off the tap before I whipped around, only to find him leaning against the kitchen counter. With his eyes full of lust, he stepped to me.

I knew he would harass me like usual. The two boys always groped me secretly. They were cowards, so they wouldn’t want the Luna to find out what they did to me. They pawed at me while still having expectations for their future mates.

But…my aunt had just gone out.

My heart sank. I knew something would go wrong.

“Why are you alone here?” Jason came in. “Did anyone touch you today?” He smirked. Obviously, he had heard about what happened at school.

I bit my lips and tried to get away from them, but they quickly grabbed my arms before I could run away.

“Shh…The game is not over.” Jack played with a lock of my hair and approached me. He stuck his tongue and licked my neck slowly. “Salty.”

I held my breath and shuddered. Tears continued to flow down my cheeks and down to my neck. Usually they would only grope me, but today they were too drunk. They may cross the line….

While I was busy thinking how to run away, I felt a hand slipping under my top and unhooking my bra. It was Jason. He hugged me from behind and buried his head in my neck, smelling me.
