Chapter 3 Bullied

Rachael's POV

I thought becoming the mate of the sons of the Alpha would change my situation for good. Even if I didn't like them, and knew that they loathed me even more.

I felt it wasn't so bad if it could afford me the luxury of being treated well at least.

I had this tiny thought that it would change my status in the Pack, from a slave to something much more prestigious. Yet, there I was, in the Alpha's bathroom, standing on a chair and cleaning the walls as carefully as I could.

Alpha Blackwood was a very meticulous person who never liked to see any dirt around him. He was clean to the core, and had made it a rule that I was the only one allowed to clean his bathroom. So if a single speck of dust was ever found, he at-least knows who to punish.

I scrubbed the wall with the brush in my hand, as hard as I could, after spotting something brownish on the wall that just wouldn't go away that easily.

I heard the Alpha's bedroom door open, and thought it would either be Alpha Blackwood or one of the members of the royal family. Cause aside from them, I'm the only one allowed in here.

It was a maid. I didn't know who the particular maid was, she must be a new one.

She walked into the bathroom with a smirk on her face. What the?

"Hey, you are not supposed to be in here." I reprimanded.

"Is that so... I didn't know. I must have lost my way." She said in a sorry manner, but just when she was about to turn around she launched her legs at the stool I was standing on, and kicked it... making me fall hard into the bathtub.

"Oops!" She lets out, covering her mouth in a surprised way. "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I never intended to cause the fall of the future Luna of the almighty Crimson Pack."

I groaned as I stood on my feet, upset that she had to do something like that. I had a very strong urge to say a word or two to her that she most likely wouldn't like so much, but I refrained from doing that. There was no need to fight a madwoman.

Besides, if words were to get to the Alpha, he definitely wouldn't take my side.

She smiled and walked away, while I looked down at my injured hand which was already bleeding. My ankle also hurt a lot; so much that I felt it was probably broken.

"I have to do something about this," I said to myself.

This isn't the first time I'm getting bullied, they all hate the fact that I am mated to the four sons of the Alpha. I have always been a mere slave, and now... I might even be a Luna.

But how do I stop the bullying?

I exhaled, getting out of the bathtub... but as I looked up, I saw him. Alpha Blackwood.

In fright, I jumped back into the bathtub, my blood spilling all over the place. Shit.

He took slow steps towards me, having this look that sent shivers down my spine. I had no where to run to. I could only wish the wall would swallow me up and keep me safe. But walls do not swallow people.

I gulped, as I waited for the inevitable and it came.

"You careless slave!! You useless slave!!" He thundered, standing in front of the bathtub. My whole body shook in fear.

"How dare you stain my bathroom with your filthy slave blood?"

"It's.. its.. I.. I.. Ahhhhhh." I screamed at the impact of his hand coming in contact with my face.

"Now, I expect you to clean up this bloody mess that you have made, and do not even think of leaving until this whole bathroom is sparkling."

"Yes– Yes, Alpha." I stammered, turning to the wall and resuming my cleaning. I winced as I scrubbed the walls despite the pain that I felt in my hand, knowing there was an even bigger pain waiting for me if I didn't do as I was told.

Eliana growled.

I whispered to her.

As I poured some water on the wall, so I could scrub more effectively, suddenly... a hand grabbed me by the neck and, in one swift move, pushed my head into the mopping water.

I struggled in the water, shaking violently as I struggled to break free, but those hands of his were too strong for me. The more I tried to break free, the further down into the water he pushed my head and all I could do was utter incomprehensible sounds from under the water.

"You dare to be mated to my sons, right?" He growled at me bitterly.

No wolf can choose who they'll be mated to. That is the job of the Moon Goddess.... So why is he accusing me like it was of my own doing?

If he hated the idea of me being mated to his sons, he should take it up with the moon goddess.

"If you ever imagined that being the mate of my sons would make your life any easier, then you need to think again." He continued, his hold on my neck ever stronger.

I struggled even harder as it became increasingly more difficult to breathe. I was tempted to kick him in the groin, but that would have meant or been interpreted as attacking the Alpha, which wasn't such a wise thing to do.

Thankfully, he had enough of the torture and finally let go of me. I quickly took my head out of the water and took a deep breath of relief. My chest heaving so hard.

I could literally taste the mop water.

With no more strength in me, I fell to the ground, trying to catch my breath as I watched the Alpha walk out of the bathroom. Tears rolled down my eyes, as my heart constricted, my whole body in pain.

Eliana cried out.

I can still remember it, like it was some movie playing before my very eyes. Those days are still fresh in my mind.

I can still remember being dragged into the grounds of the Crimson Pack, bruised by its coarse texture right from the gate. My entire body was utterly weak, I had no fight in me anymore.

My hands were tied with a very long rope and its end was in the hands of my captor; Alpha Blackwood himself.

I could never forget the look in his eyes as he pulled his prey by the ropes, and the people of the crimson pack watched on with so much excitement.

The entire Pack was in an uproar. I really do not know... if the excitement comes from my capture or because their Alpha had returned successfully from war.

The people clapped their hands and cheered. Some others screamed at the top of their voices, overjoyed by the sight before them. The fallen, beautiful Princess of the formidable Red Moon Pack was right in front of them. It must have felt so good.

Then it started, my worst nightmare... stones, little rocks were hurled at me, eggs and many other disgusting stuff, causing my skin to bleed more.

Alpha Blackwood dragged me as roughly as he could, then stopped. I was happy that the dragging had come to an end, but then I was carried up by a man... then I was thrown into a big cage like a sack of potatoes. The cage is still located at the very center of the crimson Pack.

"Do not waste your tears yet princess..." He drawled... grinning down at me, "This is only the beginning."

I was locked in that cage for three months, and people came in their numbers to see me.

For three months, I was a refuse dump for spoiled soup, spoiled food, rotten eggs and decayed foodstuffs.

For three months, I was a playground for kids... as they practiced how well they could throw stones.

For three months, I was a cum bucket for horny teenagers returning from parties or wherever.

For three months, I was a toilet for drunkards that didn't know how to locate their own toilet, and so made it their mission to pee on me and also spit on me.

For three months, the rain was my only friend.

For three months, I was at the receiving end of the crimson pack's anger.

I. Was. Only. THIRTEEN!

I will never forget. I will never forget. I will never forgive.

Eliana whimpered.

"I guess I just want to remind us that those days were the worst, and this, this is better." I said out loud.
