Mated to the Alpha

tist. I got out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom to wash my face. I sighed at the sight of the new bruises forming on my arms and wrist. I walked into the showe

ed Amelia. I mistakenly poured a little bit of juice on my dad. He quickly slapped me while shouting; "are you blind mutt? You are so stupid and dumb. You couldn't make breakfast early and now you can't even pour a glass of orange juice properly." "I'm sorry, I..," My words were quickly cut short with another slap on my face. "Shut up and clean this up," he said. I quickly ran to the kitchen to get a cloth rag to clean up the mess I made in the dining room. I keep messing things up.

I am sure I am mated to an alpha of a pack. He will be so strong, handsome, and rich" Amelia replied dreamily, A mate? I know I won't have the privilege of finding a mate. Wolves are only able to meet their mates after they have shifted. I have never shifted before so I don't have the hopes of finding a mate, not like anyone will want me. I am full of bruises and I have not met my wolf yet. "What are yo
