Betrayed By Love

Amelia's POV

"Amelia, what are you still doing in that kitchen?" Elena called out angrily.

I was about to respond before her voice came again.

"My feet won't wash themselves," Elena screamed again.

"I will be out in a moment," I screamed back at her.

She asked me to make her a bowl of pasta and clean up the kitchen, now she's asking me to come clean her feet for her.

"When coming out, get me a glass of cold water," Ellen screamed immediately as I attempted to open the kitchen door.

I rolled my eyes angrily and hissed silently before going back to get Ellen the glass of water he requested.

Elena and Ellen are known to be the most troublesome twins, they are a true definition of a pain in the ass.

They sit down all day pressing their phone while I do the chores all alone.

"I will tell Mother to find a way and convince Father so he can get you out of this house and, most importantly, this pack.

You are too sluggish for me." Elena screamed at me as I walked closer to her.

"Then you should at least do them yourself and know how it feels," I muttered.

"What did you just say?" Ellen asked, walking up to me and ready to pour the glass of cold water he was holding on me.

"I was only apologizing and saying I would be faster next time," I said.

"Then apologize appropriately," Ellen said.

"I'm sorry," I said, getting on my knees.

I had to say something and at least defend myself to avoid stories that touched the heart.

Elena once heard what I muttered behind her mother when she scolded me. She simply called me into her room in a friendly tone and bathed me with hot water mixed with hot pepper.

She dragged me outside her room while I scratched my body in pain and locked me inside her room where no one could hear me scream.

I was treated like a slave which I wasn't.

While Ellen passed beside me, he still dropped the cold water on me not minding how cold it was.

"Do you have anything to say or do you want my mom coming after you?" Ellen asked, rolling his eyes at me.

"Do I have to tell you that my feet are yet to be washed?" Elena asked, pushing her dirty nails into my mouth.

Elena and Ellen would always turn me into their slave anytime Alpha Barker traveled to the human world or visited other packs for official reasons.

I was about to focus on Elena's nails when I saw her carrying up the soap. She was hot with a bowl of hot water and dropped it on my head.

As if the pain wasn't enough, she dropped her bowl of hot pasta on my head making me scream in pain.

I stood up hurriedly and rushed to her bathroom to clean up, but instead, she dragged me outside her room, leaving me alone to find the way to my room.

Since Elena's room wasn't far from mine, all I just did was walk with my hands placed on the wall till I got to my room door.

"What's happening here?" I heard Nina's voice.

If Nina gets to see me in this state, the pain I'm currently receiving will be tripled. I thought as I hurriedly went into my room.

Nina and her twins hated me with every guy they had. Nina's prayer every day was that the Alpha be out every day so she could take the opportunity to treat me like a slave.

An Omega in the Paxon pack is even living a better life than I do. They only have selected hours to do their chores while I do my chores every single minute including washing Elena's feet.

"Amelia!!!" I heard Nina's voice as she walked closer to my room. I had to quickly rush to my toilet and clean up the mess Elena did on my body.

"Didn't you hear me call out your name?" Nina asked followed by an unexpected resounding slap.

"What?" I screamed.

"What did I tell you about reporting to me immediately when I called you?" Nina asked angrily.

"I'm sorry Mom!" I said going down on my knees.

"I would never give birth to someone as stupid as you are. I have two wonderful twins already." Nina said.

I looked up and saw both Elena and Ellen standing close to Nina as they played games on their iPads.

"We can't even share our mom with a piece of shit like you," Elena said, rolling her eyes at me.

"This should be the last time you would refer to me as your mom. The next time this repeats itself, I won't hesitate to throw you out of this pack, and nobody dares question me, including Alpha Barker, who picked you up from the Streets." Nina said.

Yeah! That's me.

I was picked up from the streets by Alpha Barker when I was three years old. The only person I regarded as a mom then abandoned me to the cold hands of the world.

She only said to go out and look for what we would eat for that day but I never got to see her again.

I fed on people's food remnants as a child, I slept in the streets for three days.

It was during one of Alpha Barker's visits around the packs that he saw me and picked me up.

He asked one of his warriors to drop me off in the infirmary, where I tried to connect with young minds like me because I had been isolated for a long time, according to the doctor who attended to me.

Alpha Barker would always check up on me every day till I was officially five years old and ready to be adopted.

I was happy when I got the news that Alpha Barker was the one who had come to adopt me.

The woman who took care of us gave me a farewell celebration with the other children singing happily.

I made a promise that I would always come to celebrate my birthday in the infirmary every year.

I was even more happy when Alpha Barker took me home and Nina, his Luna, accepted me with all her heart and even treated me like her child, not until she got pregnant later.

I started doing the chores of ten people. I thought everything I was doing was just for the time being, but then she even gave birth, and everything became worse.

I kept getting beaten every day, the omegas chores, Elena, and Ellen became my responsibility.

"Alpha Barker picked you from the streets." Nina would always say each time I try reminding her that I am not an Omega yet.

"I'm home!" Came Alpha Barker's voice.

Amelia's POV

It's the second mating ceremony of the year in the Paxon pack; the mating ceremony only happens twice a year when the Alpha comes from different packs to choose their mate.

This year is the Paxon pack's turn to host the Alpha, Nina and the rest of the omegas have been all out preparing for the big time.

They can't wait for the Alphas to arrive.

Since the Paxon pack gets to host them every two years, Alpha Barker makes sure it's a memorable mating ceremony.

"Amelia, you are not allowed to attend the mating ceremony," Nina said walking into my room.

"Make sure all the rooms in this pack house are well cleaned before the mating ceremony ends so the Alpha that can't go home can pass the night here. Am I understood?" Nina asked.

"Yes Luna, but I need to find my mate." I tried saying.

"And who would love to mate with an unreasonable person like you?" Nina asked, rolling her eyes at me.

"But I." I was interrupted by Nina.

"If I dare see your two feet outside the pack house, I would make sure you are fed to the vultures," Nina said before walking out angrily.

I had just clocked eighteen five days ago. Nina and Alpha Barker knew about it, but only Alpha Barker wished me before he left on his three-day trip, promising to celebrate it when he got back, but he seemed to have forgotten.

I didn't care about it, though, because I was more concerned about the mating ceremony coming up.

I can't just wait to go meet my mate and then leave this house to the twins and their wicked mother.

I had prepared the beautiful dress I was going to wear the night before, I woke up this morning and walked up to my dress smiling.

I was about to walk outside to take a stroll around when Nina came in with her bad news. I stood there looking dejected at the dress.

"No matter what, I must attend the mating ceremony even if I have to cover my face," I muttered, walking out angrily.

While making my way to the storage to pick up my tools, I peeped through Elena's door and saw her getting dressed for the mating ceremony.

"But she's not eighteen yet." I thought but shoved it off my mind.

"Watch where you are going, you nitwit," Ellen screamed.

"I'm sorry," I said.

"Oh, you are watching my sister wondering why she is getting dressed and even looking more beautiful than you do.

Mom said she's getting mated to the Alpha of the Crescent Pack tonight. Go and continue your scrubbing because you won't get to have a mate." Ellen blurted out before walking into Elena's room.

I don't know what I ever did to deserve these two wicked twins, they are really after my life.

"Do you want to continue watching my children get dressed or I have the warriors wipe you." Nina's voice came from behind.

I didn't wait to be told before I started running into the storage room. I got in and quickly picked up my tools so I could finish cleaning on time.

We had twelve rooms in the pack house that I had to clean. I started with the larger ones so I could have fewer ones to clean when it's a few minutes before the mating ceremony.

I focused on cleaning the rooms while my mind was on my beautiful dress.

I finished cleaning on time, and I reported to the head of Omegas, who looked at me with disgust, but I didn't care anyway because I had more important things that needed my attention.

When she was done checking out all the rooms I cleaned, she nodded her head before I proceeded to drop off my cleaning tools.

While rushing to my room, I slowed down to check on Elena and met her still dressing, but this time around, she already changed to another dress.

I ignored her and made my way to my room instead. I didn't want to take a look at my dress because it was too beautiful for me to watch, I just dashed into my bathroom the moment I stepped in.

I carefully scrubbed my body while I smiled at the mirror placed in front of me. Immediately after I was done, I proceeded to apply my lotion.

Before I could finish, the mating ceremony had started, I picked out a black scarf I would use in closing my eyes to prevent being recognized by Nina or her children.

I closed my eyes as I stepped closer to my dress; I pulled it closer and smelt the fragrance; it felt so good, but I needed to be fast.

I opened my eyes to wear my dress only to find it being pieced into many parts.

The part I just smelt was the only part left hanging. The rest were cut into different parts and thrown in different directions.

"Who could have done this?" I asked curiously as I picked up the scattered pieces.

I stared at the remaining one hanging as tears rolled down my hot cheeks.

"How did this happen?"

"Who came into my room?"

I looked through my window and saw Elena walking downstairs already while the Alpha was choosing their mate.

I threw the pieces of clothes on the floor and rushed to my wardrobe. Luckily, I found a beautiful blue dress Alpha Barker had gotten for me on my seventeenth birthday.

I quickly put it on and rushed outside.

While running towards the back door, I missed my steps and almost fell but I felt a strong hand hold onto me.

"Thank you," I replied and continued walking.

The guy looks handsome but that's the least on my plate now.

I quickly sat on the chair waiting patiently for one of the Alpha's to point finger at me.

All the she-wolves sitting beside me got chosen while Elena and I were the only ones left on the seat.

If she had any slight idea that I was the one seated beside her, this place would have gone into uproar. I ignored her signals and focused on where the Alpha's were seated.

Just when I thought we were done, the last Alpha stepped in. I rolled my eyes at Elena before looking up only to realize he was the guy I stumbled upon earlier on my way here.

"I chose her as my mate!" He said pointing his finger at me.

"Alpha Kessler of the crescent pack has chosen his mate," one of the elders announced.

"What? I can't believe it, he's the Alpha of the crescent pack. He's the Alpha that almost all the ladies are dying for.

If I had known that he was the person chosen for Elena, I wouldn't have bothered coming here but there's nothing I can do about it."

"Do you mind opening your face so the Alpha can take a look at his beautiful mate?" The elder requested.

We have now gotten to the time when everywhere would turn into chaos. I stared at everyone as I carefully took off the clothes I used to cover my face.

"Amelia, what are you doing there?" Nina asked the moment she noticed I was the one.

"What?" Elena screamed as she ran her hands through her hair.

"I mark you as my mate." Alpha Kessler said as he placed a kiss on my lips.

Elena's POV

I hate the fact that my father, Alpha Barker, loves Amelia, a low-life he picked from the streets, more than we, his children.

He even has the guts to tell us that we should always show her some respect; thank goodness for Mom; if not, I would have either killed her or sent her to exile for making us share our father with her.

I promise to make her life a living hell every day as long as Dad is not always around.

"She seems less busy, what do you think we can do to frustrate her?" I asked my twin brother who is also my partner in crime.

If not for his words of encouragement every day, I know what I would have done to Amelia.

He supports everything I choose to do for Amelia.

"How about we call her in, plant a bucket of paint on the door so when she opens the door she spills the paint on the floor in the process.

You and I know that paints are the hardest to clean on a tiled floor once it's more than five minutes," Ellen said.

"Hmm! That's a good idea. Just wondering what I would have done if I didn't have you as a twin." I said smiling.

I secretly went into the storage room, took a bucket of paint, and placed it where it would before calling out to Amelia.

"Here, you called for.." Amelia pushed open the door, and immediately, the paint fell on her.

Thankfully, she was putting on one of her favorite white dresses. I looked at Ellen before bursting into a peal of heavy laughter.

"Amelia, check out what you just did to my room. Paint in my beautiful room, mom must hear about this." I said storming out of the room angrily.

"I wasn't the one that poured the paint, Luna," Amelia said immediately she saw me coming closer with my mom.

"No Mom, that's a lie. She thought I wasn't inside, she even poured it on herself intentionally when she noticed I was inside my room.

All my whole room is stained with paint." I said, faking a cry.

"Amelia, I want this floor cleaned in thirty minutes." My mom said walking back to her room.

We all know that thirty minutes won't be enough for her but I really enjoyed the show.

"Ellen, let's leave her to clean the stained floor. Make sure nothing goes missing in my room," I said before walking away with Ellen to his room so he could show me the new things he bought for the mating ceremony.

I already spoke to my mom earlier, and she had promised me that the Alpha of the crescent pack would be my mate even though I'm just sixteen, but who cares about age?

A day before the mating ceremony, I noticed Amelia sneaking out in the early hours. While she was sneaking back in, I noticed she was holding something in her hand.

I sneaked behind her, looked through the hole in her door, and saw a beautiful gown being placed on her bed; instantly, I rushed to my mom.

"What is it, Elena?" My mom asked, staring blankly at me.

"Mom, you promised me that Amelia was never going to attend the mating ceremony tomorrow but I just saw her sneak in with a beautiful dress," I said angrily.

"Is that why you are upset?" My mom asked.

"Yes," I replied, still not looking at her.

"I told you that I have everything handled, she's not going to attend the mating ceremony." My mom said,

After much persuasion, I calmed my nerves down and went off to my room.

The mating ceremony day came, and I already overheard my mom relegating some tasks to Amelia; it would take a whole day to clean the pack house.

If Dad asks of her, I would simply tell him she decided not to come of her own will. I thought as I stared at the mirror happily.

While cleaning my face, I noticed her peeping through my door. I was about to confront her when I overheard Ellen's voice.

I trust him to do a perfect job.

"That witch was at your door staring at you, all thanks to Mom's voice. You should have seen how she took to her heels immediately after she heard her voice." Ellen said bursting into laughter.

"I wanted to come but I refrained myself so I won't ruin my beautiful make-up," I said.

"I can't wait to come over to the crescent pack every weekend and spend the night with you," Ellen said, hugging me from the back.

Though we were always at each other's throats I was surely going to miss him. We were still enjoying our moments together when a message suddenly popped up on my iPad.

"Who is that?" Ellen asked.

"It's the head of the omegas," I responded.

"What does the message say?" Ellen asked, helping me to pack my hair in a ponytail.

"Amelia is done with her chores," I said feeling shocked.

"How did she do that in under one hour?" Ellen asked, looking at me confusedly.

I replied to the head of the Omegas and asked her to delay Amelia while we carried out the plan B my mom gave us.

I took out the scissors in my wardrobe while Ellen followed me with a very sharp blade.

We got to Amelia's room and searched everywhere till we saw where she hung the dress. I looked at it with disgust and without wasting much time, we proceeded to cut everything into pieces and throw them in different directions.

When we were done, we sneaked back to my room where I continued preparing for the mating ceremony.

"Did you notice her passing by now?" Ellen asked. I nodded and we both laughed.

I got prepared and walked outside towards where the others were seated waiting to be chosen by the Alphas.

I winked at my mom before proceeding to sit down.

Since my mom had already told me that I would be chosen by Alpha Kessler of the crescent pack, I was less worried while the other Alphas chose their mates.

Just when I thought I was the only one left, a lady dressed in blue attire came in and sat a few chairs away from mine.

Jealousy aside, she wore a beautiful gown that looked elegant and more captivating in her body.

I looked at her wondering who she was. Soon, it was Alpha Kessler's turn. I adjusted my dress and hair so I would be more noticeable, but unexpectedly, I saw him pointing fingers at the lady seated next to me.

"What?" I screamed.

I looked at my mom who told me to calm down. Maybe he was just testing my patience but when I heard him again, I knew I was all done.

But who is this lady and where did she appear from?

I asked myself eagerly, ready to see the face of the lady.

A few minutes later, an elder stood up and asked her to unveil herself.

I was shocked when the lady turned out to be Amelia.

"Amelia!!!" I screamed at the top of my voice not minding the crowd.

"Mom, what am I going to do?" I asked as tears flowed freely down my cheeks.

"We would try plan B since this didn't work out." My mom said, staring angrily at Amelia.

"What's the plan B Mom?" I asked.
