The Alpha s Obsession

"Get out of my house!"

"I should have thrown you out a long time ago, you have blessed me with nothing but your bad luck, so leave!" Her aunt shrilled, throwing out her belongings.

The sound of the rain sounded so pleasant in her ears yet felt so melancholic. Her body was soaking wet and she was shivering in the cold yet her aunt didn't stop to care about her, she never did. For a moment, she wanted to ask her why she hated her so much but she knew to well she'll never give her an answer to her question. She hated her and that's what she needed to know.

"My younger sister must have sinned in her past lives and that's why she had to be cursed with a child like you! You bring nothing but bad luck, why don't you just die then?Just die and rot in hell?" She cursed, glaring at her Eloise with nothing but hatred in her eyes.

Eloise closed her eyes for a moment, her head was aching badly or maybe it was because of how fragile she was but her head was feeling....hot. She was trying so hard to fight the tears from her eyes from falling but she was so bad at doing that.

"What are you doing, Anna? She's your niece?!" Anna's husband, Samuel tried to reason with his wife.

"You want me to keep her in my house? Now, I get it...you both have been seeing each other behind my back, haven't you!" Anna sneered.

"Anna!" Samuel yelled, fisting his knuckles. He was trying his best not to lose his temper and hit this crazy wife of his and he was doing a good job at that.

"What..."

"Aunt, please!" Eloise whimpered, going down on her knees. Her eyes were red from tears and she could feel her heart aching badly, she was really so tired, extremely tired. She could feel the villagers' spiteful gaze on her, they have always hated her, just like her mother. She could have pleaded, begged her aunt to let her stay. She had always done that but this time around, she actually felt suffocated. She was tired of her aunt constantly reminding her of who she was, a cursed child.

"Hmph!" Anna hissed, entering into her small cottage. She wouldn't waste her breath on someone useless like Eloise. She had wasted her food and her savings on her already, it was high time for her to take care of herself. She can even decide to sell her body to survive, she doesn't care. As long as she would go far away from her and give her the peace she had always yearned for.

Samuel let out a sigh, getting tired of his wife's behavior. He had been married to her for ten years now and still now, he was suffering from that mistake. If only he had not laid his eyes on her then he would have been spared from this hell of a marriage.

Eloise bit her lips, crawling to her belongings. Her clothes were wet and covered in mud. She doesn't know why but then she couldn't help but feel pity for herself, she was really so pitiful after all.

Samuel stared at Eloise with pity in his eyes, she was just eighteen but still she had to go through a lot. It would have been better if she had never been born, at least she would have been spared from having the kind of family she had. She would have been spared from her fate and she wouldn't have to suffer this much.

"What should I do now, Uncle?" Those were the only words she could think of. She had nowhere to go, she was all alone since her aunt decided to leave her too.

Samuel squatted down, helping her with the clothes. He couldn't ask her to stay back, he was certain that Anna would try to hurt her. The only thing he could do for her he's to get her faraway from Anna, that's the only way she can truly find happiness and that's the only way he could help her fight her destiny.

He went into the cottage and came out with a small piece of paper in his left hand and a coat in his other hand. He helped Eloise up, wrapping her body with the coat. The rain was getting heavier and that was enough for him to know that the rain won't stop anytime soon.
