The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Saad Usman

“How many times do I need to tell you, I don’t like lazy people especially you piece of trash!” Amara yelled at Lydia as she stood there helplessly. It was another day for her to be yelled at for a simple task she accomplished, but Amara her fooster mum was never satisfied with anything she does.

“I am sorry ma, I promise it will not happen again” Lydia pleaded. She knew above all things, that a certain punishment would be given to her. It was always like that with Amara. Whenever she failed to accomplish a task, her fooster mother punishes her. While she continued to beg, her worst night mare entered the kitchen.

It was Kelly, her step sister and one of the very persons that detest Lydia so much that she had one day wished that Lydia died in the most horrific way possible.

“This trash bag here, failed to perform her duties; I want you to deal with her so she learn never to abscond from her responsibilities in this pack again” Amara instructed her daughter.

The smile on Kelly's face, was bold enough to portray to Lydia, what consequences awaits her. Once Amara was out of the kitchen, Kelly approached Lydia like a predator circling her prey, still with a menacing smile on her face, she grab hold of Lydia's hair and pulled it back, Lydia could feel her scalp tearing up.

“You weakling, I find it hard to believe that my father would even let you live because you are a disgrace to this family and every member of the pack.” Aggressively, she slammed Lydia's head unto the wall and it forced blood rushing in to her brains due to the impact.

This was not the first time Lydia has been dealt with in this manner; she had bruises spread across her skin owing to the torture she had endured in the past in the hands of her family members.

There was a time Dylan, her fooster father whipped her so had for not serving the food in time, that she lost consciousness that day.

Kelly slapped her across the face so hard that Lydia saw stars. She further pounced on her, brutally assaulting her with both hands as though Lydia was a mere thief who had been caught in a cookie jar.

Lydia couldn’t fight for herself as the torture continued. Aside being a weakling in the pack, her wolf Nina was literally the smallest in the pack and aptly, the reason why most pack members believed her to be what her fooster parents had lied about.

Amara and Dylan, had always appeared to ve highly manipulative. They allow every pack member see them for being good parents and make Lydia the bad child.

The only reason Lydia had been kept as part of the family, was to serve them and ensure all the house chores had been done properly.

Dylan thought it was better to have a slave who would do all the chores for him and the family. He considered this to be mercy for Lydia and it became a reason why he spared her life.

Another blow came straight to her jaw, forcing her to spit blood out. Kelly continued to beat up Lydia, who sat there defenseless.
