As the tenth whip pierced through my skin as I let out a cry of agony and the guard went back to his post.I tried to ignore the waves of pain surging through me as I tried to get,I fell down as soon as I tried as the pain intensified.I looked down at my bruised and battered body which one could barely see my skin.
I tore my eyes away from my body as I heard footsteps getting closer,I looked up to see that it was the pack's whore and the gamma.When I woke up today,I didn't expect that I would end up in the dungeon, the gamma picked up the whip and I closed my eyes bracing myself for the pain that was about to come. People say that after you get beaten numerous times,you get used to the pain,well I disagree as the whip came down on me,I felt my skin tear open for the hundredth time.
I will not give them the satisfaction of them seeing me cry so I bit my lips till it drew blood and it seemed to anger the beta even more as he raised his hand to whip me again he stopped midair as he looked down at me with disgust,I couldn't blame him,I was thin and scrawny and my eyes and hair were an awful shade of silver,I could even not even look at myself.Looking back at how my life has been,it seemed like the moon goddess truly hated me and wanted to make my life miserable.
I had no idea who my parents were and the only thing I could remember was being sold to the blackmoon pack where no one really paid much attention to me, except when people would occasionally stare at me due to my odd appearance,I was then sold to the half crescent pack where it was not too bad,I would work for long hours and was given food and a place to stay.
My life truly began after I was sold to the howling wolf pack that was where the true toture began.It started with a few slaps and simple hits but as I got older.I was being pummeled to the ground,flogged and picked on every single day.I was the pack's punching bag,if anything happened I would get hit,if someone had a fight with their mate,I would get hit.As soon as I turned seventeen,I was being punished with different types of torture devices and at that point,my life was barely hanging on thread and I prayed for death everyday but they would not let me die,they would just beat me half to death and leave me there.I had not shifted so my healing process was slower than that of other wolves. A slap jolted me back to reality. The gamma glared at me as he raised the whip and flogged me three times,I bit my lips trying not to scream he seemed mad that I did not beg for mercy so he picked up a spiked whip and began to whip me mercilessly my back exploded with pain as I bit my lips harder till I tasted blood.
I let out a shaky breath as he kept whipping me as I forced back my tears. He chuckled and said huh so you won't beg for mercy then I just have to increase your pain and he kept on whipping me,I couldn't take it anymore,I broke down in tears begging me to let me go,he just smirked and kept going,I felt black dots cloud my vision and darkness enveloped me.
When I regained consciousness,the gate of my cell was open and I guess it was time for me to get back to work.I dragged myself up as I started limping towards the exit,I fell down a couple of times but eventually got to the kitchen luckily dinner was over.I walked straight to the sink and started doing the dishes.The head of the kitchen walked in and gasped upon seeing my state.She was the only one who seemed to treat me normally,she would occasionally treat my wounds and sneak in food for me.She was like an angel to me,she led me to a chair as she brought out a first aid box and she cleaned me up, sorry dear but you are gonna need a lot of stitches if these don't heal up she said as she packed up the first aid box and she helped me finish the dishes.I quickly thanked her as I went back to the tiny place that I called a room,I shared it with three other people so I don't have much space to myself.I sighed as I laid on my flimsy thing I called a mattress.
Soon,my roommates came in,their names were Rachel and Lucia.They barely paid any attention to me,they had better lives compared to me because they used their body to pay off their beatings but I can't do that,just the thought of me selling my body sickens me so I basically lived in misery and there was a strict no rape policy so I was safe.Rachel walked up to me and offered me a glass of water and a cookie,I looked up at her in surprise,she just shrugged and answered we have a lot of cookies so have one.I thanked her politely as I ate the cookie hungrily.I couldn't remember the last time I ate a cookie or even ate at all.The last girl Tracy came in,she lived the best life amongst all the omegas because she would stay out late Satisfying any male wolf that came her way so basically she was almost a normal pack member.She stood up as she called me hey you get over here she said as she crossed her long legs,I looked at her in surprise as I stood and walked to where she sat.She picked up a pile of clothes and handed them to me and said I want them clean and hand washed. I scoffed as I placed the clothes back on her bed.
Tracy stood up and walked up to me and was about to pounce on me when the pack alarm went off and we all had to go to the pack's training grounds.We all stood in a queue and as soon as the alpha appeared everyone bowed their heads in submission.The alpha climbed to the stand and began to address us,We have a problem,there is a huge financial problem and we have to figure out a way to provide for everyone in the pack so we have two options either we sell some of the omegas or we give the white crescent pack two of our finest females mated or not in exchange of financial help so I called you all here so we can decide on what to do.My heart immediately sunk as everyone yelled in protests.
I sighed because no normal wolf would give up his mate so they were going to sell us off to random packs in exchange of money.I looked around to see the other omegas looking as sad as I felt,they all knew we would be the ones to be sold.Why should we give up our mated while these worthless omegas go scot-free,we have more than enough, selling them off reduces the mouths to feed, a man from the crowd shouted and the pack agreed with him.So we have agreed the the omegas will be sold so prepare yourselves some of you will leave the pack.we all walked back to our rooms feeling down. Life really did us dirty.i sighed as I laid on my bed,I just knew I was going to be chosen so I kept my mind open and slept with that thought.
