CHAPTER ONE.
SUZIE'S POV.
A small sad smile tugged the two corners of my lips as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Tears fought desperately in my eyes, threatening to fall any moment from now. I tugged the sleeves of my white collar top to cover every part of my arms aside my fingers, covering the wounds and marks my dear father has inflicted upon me. Every minute, every second, Every hour, day after day, a new scar falls on my body. I closed in on the mirror, my finger reaching up to the wound patch hovering over my eyebrows. I removed it to find it soaked already, pressing my lips into a thin firm line before picking another one on the table and pressing it to the wound again.
My heart clenched painfully, causing the tears to roll down my eyes. My father. My own father was my greatest tormentor. Yesterday was the last day on our vacation, and seeing there was nowhere again to inflict new wounds on my body, he angrily smashed a glass vase on my face. He was one who liked to see his works, and seeing a wound on my face brought him immense pleasure.
"You stupid girl! Are you craving more wounds this morning!" His loud and angry voice boomed out.
My heart jumped out in a frenzy, withdrawing from the window and towards my scattered room. I picked up my black pop socks, wearing them on my already skinny and bruised skin. No one must see it as he always says. He was a good man to everyone. Although he was not the Alpha, he was one of the elders, a dignified member of the pack. I had just pulled on my skirt, zipped it and was about to carry my back when the door burst open, revealing a 5 '7 middle-aged man, his veins all popped up on his face, and his eyes bulging with enough anger to scare my hand away from my bag.
"You stupid thing!" He yelled out, rushing towards me, his right palm coming in hard contact with my cheeks before I could pull out.
My brown long hair that I had put down to cover the scars on my neck was tugged backwards, and my throat gripped hard by him. His black orbs stared directly into mine, fuming with much anger that I was not surprised anymore. The smell of alcohol oozed to my nose, filling every part of it and torturing me as he started.
"Are you cursed? Why the fuck do you keep stressing my life? If not that I can't just kill you, you'll be dead already by now, you useless ingrate."
I muffled out a cough, water clouding my eyes from both my hair and neck pain. He pointed his finger to my eyes, continuing his daily hatred speech, "I feed you! I cloth you! I do everything for you, yet you want to pay me back with your stupid lazy attitude! You're so just like your mother.." he continued, spitting in my face.
The cold disgust thing entered straight into my eye and my heart tugged painfully, not because of the spit but my mother. The woman I wanted to hate so much for leaving me with this demon, but thanked the moon goddess for landing her a safe escape away from him.
"...useless, stupid, lazy, unremorseful, and disrespectful just like her. The only thing you both have in common and make you good is that stupid pretty face that I want to destroy."
My father was a pure demon, one that was going to go straight to hell. He didn't just turn this way, he has always been this way. I was never the child he wanted, and my mother paid dearly for that. He wanted a boy, and she gave him a girl. Right from my childhood, we both paid for it. It started slowly, raping her, hitting her, and doing everything to inflict pain on her.
And it all got worse when he found out she took birth control pills already. The beating got worse that he almost killed her, but she packed up one day, ran off and left me to this stupid fate of mine.
My small hands tugged the ones on my throat for a little air, "Fath...fat..you're...hurti...hurting me.."
A devilish laugh escaped his mouth, throwing me to the side of the room and heaving out a loud breath, "I cursed the day you were born." he muttered loud enough for me to hear.
I ignored the pain, managing to stand up immediately as he ran his hand through his hair. He turned back to me, raking me up, "At least you know not to disgrace me."
I nodded in response, throwing a small smile in. "Today is the first day of resumption right?"
"Yes father,"
"Get to know the beta's daughter. I don't care if she beats you or bullies you, you're not useful either way. I need her father to side with me so you need to be friends with her. If you have to grovel at her feet, do it. Unless, there'll be more beatings for you. Am I clear?"
I nodded, fisting my hands to my back. Of course, that was all I was useful for. His eyes bulged out as he approached me quickly, another hot slap landing to my face, "next time i tell you something, you respond? Is that clear?"
My voice shook desperately, forming the words, "Yes, father."
He nodded at me, turning his back once again and marching straight towards the door, "Be out in 2 minutes."
The tears I was trying to hold back trickled down my cheeks, my lips quivering as I fell to the bed. Why? What did I do to deserve such a bad father? A father that doesn't even recall his daughter's birthday. A father that beats his daughter up on her 18th birthday.
I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath and steadying myself just like i taught myself to do.
"It would be fine Suzie. This is the last time he'll ever touch you. Today is the day where everything changes. You'll get your wolf and you'll be fine." I thought to myself.
I opened my eyes and reached out for my bag, wearing it on my back as I stood up. My eyes collided with my calendar, the red marker on today's date giving me hope.
"Happy birthday to me."
To a new change, a new hope and getting away from my demon father.
CHAPTER TWO
SUZIE'S POV.
I halted in my tracks. I was in school. And the first thing that greeted me was a huge splash of dirty foamy water, dropped from the top of the stairs, trickling down from my head to my entire body. I gritted my teeth together, fisting my hand beside me and pressing my lips into a thin line.
It's your birthday. Do not let anyone ruin it for you.
I exhaled a sharp breath, opening my eyes. I had just taken a step when I slipped, my body crumbling to the tiled floor. The impact caused all the wounds on my body to start hurting again. A loud and sinister girly laugh pierced the room and I looked up to see the queen bee group of girls approaching me. Leah, the daughter of the beta, and the girl my father desperately wants me to befriend three steps ahead of the two behind her. I immediately sat up, not bothering to stand up.
Her shoulder length hair waved to the front as she leaned to look at me, the corners of her lips curved up, "What a disaster." She muttered, her companions chuckling behind her.
I gritted, unable to meet her eyes. Meeting her eyes was more trouble in three different ways, from my father, her and the alpha brothers. She was the campus cheerleader, the heart of the school and also the only lady to get in contact with the quadruplet princes of our pack.
"You're my favorite thing to bully, Suz," She started, her middle finger lifting my chin up to meet her brown malicious eyes. "Even if you travel down the earth, leave this pack and go anywhere else, I'll find you, and i'll torture the life out of you."
"Where would an idiot like her run too? She'll be killed before she can move." One of her companions said and they all laughed out again.
But my attention was already far from them, and on the four Alpha princes that were already approaching. The Black star brothers as they were popularly known. Roy, Blair, Felix and Asher. They were the talk of the school, the boys heart of the school, the most attractive, and the sexiest. They had an unusual growth, even getting their wolf at the age of 16 instead of at 18 where we all get ours. Their names screamed luxury and perfection, and every girl wanted to be with them. But to me, to Suzie Flapman, their name screamed danger, and seeing them made a chill run down my spine.
"Ahhh!" Leah clapped in my face, bringing my attention back to her.
She straightened herself, turning to face the brothers who were already standing at her back with a mocking smile, directed to only one of them. One I knew too well.
"Here comes the prince charming. Would you save your disaster bride from the floor-." she said, darting her eyes between Felix and I– "..she seems not to be able to find her feet."
The brother chuckled quietly, their attention all turning to Felix whose veins were now visible on his face, those angry and cold eyes staring at me. I was afraid of the sexy brothers, but it never started like that. I was once Felix's girlfriend, his heart and my escape from my demonic father. He made me safe, and kept me safe until one day when he discovered I was my father's best friend's prostitute, and his past warm eyes and hands turned to one that would freeze me if I dared to touch them.
"Leah.." he chuckled angrily, glaring at her hard.
Our breakup changed him, and the most cheerful of the brothers became the coldest. But what can I say, he would not even hear me out. And I could not tell him anything like that, or else I would be killed by my father. And I prefer being alive, still able to see him, than to be in the grave.
"What would it be, Felix?" Leah continued to tease.
The corners of his lips stretched more, his eyes darkening, and that was anything but good. Roy, the first brother approached Leah, pecking her on the lips and crossing his arm on her shoulder.
"Don't bother Felix, he's not in a good mood." he said with a little laugh, delivering a kick directly to my stomach.
I threw up the little food I had snuck to eat in the midnight, the bile dropping on the floor. Tears welled up in my eyes, embarrassment eating me up.
"What a disgusting thing. A small kick and you're like this." Roy mocked. "I should tell my father to kick you out. You're a shame to the entire pack."
"Please. No. Please Roy. Please! I'll do anything!" I begged, clasping my hands together as tears started to fall down my eyes. "Please, my father, Please....
"Do not come to class. I don't want to see you at all. Now move before I ask the principal to expel you." Felix interfered, walking past me and straight into the classroom.
I shuffled my feet up, running towards the bathroom with sobs in my mouth. Their laughs haunted me till I got to the bathroom, slamming the door close and breaking down in front of the mirror. I opened the tap, washing myself as I continued to cry. Why? Why did my mother have to leave? Why was I born? Why didn't she just throw me away? Why didn't my father just kill me? Why did I have no peace in my life? Why was mine different from the rest? Why?
I continued to cry as I washed myself, thinking of all the good life I could have had but the one I have. I hated my life. I hated myself. I hated everything. Why? I was a pretty girl with fine eyes, fine hair, and a fine face. But my life just had to make everything worse. Why!
After washing myself, I entered the bathroom. I was reeking of the dirty smell, and the stain of the food I threw up was now on my clothes. I didn't want to take it off because of the scars so I locked myself up. I sat on the cap of the toilet, the tears rolling slowly with a thought of my life. I was going to run. The instant I got my wolf tonight, I was going to run. Away from all this life, my father, Leah and her companions, Felix and his brothers and this stupid damned pack.
My heart jumped out of fear as the door to the toilet opened, cackles of laughter that sounded like Leah and her friends disturbing the atmosphere.
"What do you mean by Roy is drunk in love, Leah? He loves you and adores you. But...
"Please..." I heard Leah interfere. "He's so dumb. He thinks i'm his little flower, his little girl whereas I'm not even a virgin." She said, laughing out loud.
All my troubles flew out of my head at the revelation, my eyes popping wide at the brown door. Leah, Almighty Leah, was not a Virgin! That was...something that should not be heard of. Not to talk of, Roy was the sexiest amongst them all. Dark hair, sexy lips, muscled body, chiseled jaw. Who would Leah cheat with that was better than Roy?
"Leah, Roy must not find out. He won't forgive you at all."
"Well, no one is going to tell him. Or are you?" her voice ended in a sharp note.
I could only imagine the scary look she would give to her minions, not that I minded, they deserved it. Suddenly, someone twisted the knob of the bathroom I was in, and I knew instantly that something was coming for me.
"What the fuck? Has someone been inside all this while?" Leah cursed out.
My heart started beating instantly, "Who the fuck is there? You better come out now before this gets worse!" She yelled out, rapidly twisting the door knob.
I stood up gently, every inch of me shaking as I unlocked the door, and her angry face meeting mine. Her face morphed into shock, shaking her head as she grabbed my hair and flung me out. I quickly steadied myself before hitting the wall. Her face morphed into the same thing my father looked like when he was drunk, out of his mind and ready to give me the beating of my life.
"Leah, i can explain, i swea..
"I'm going to fucking kill you today, Suz. Bully time is up." She cursed, running towards me and grabbing me.
Her minions rushed with her, holding me down as she punched me. I could not scream, could not move my body. I just kept begging her, muttering words of apology to her but all fell on deaf ears. My mind started racing, was I going to die? Is this the end? Various thoughts clouded my mind, making me feel dizzy.
Her hand came in contact with my head, knocking the second to the last part of life out of me.
"I'm going to kill you Suz. You dare listen to me. You dare eavesdrop. You little stupid thing. I'll kill you!" She bellowed hot, followed by the beating.
With the last energy in me, I heard someone open the door, and gasp leaving their mouth.
"Felix, I'm going to kill her."
My earring sharpened instantly. Felix. What was Felix doing here? Leah's hand met my face again before his voice filled the room.
"Hit her one more time and I'll cut that hand off."
CHAPTER THREE
SUZIE'S POV.
The bathroom was as silent as a graveyard, immediately Leah and her peacocks left, leaving Felix and I alone in the deepest and uttermost silence. He didn't bother helping me up, nor helping me clean off the blood I had on my face. Instead he just watched me as I struggled to stand up and moved to the sink, opening the tap and pouring some of the cold water that made me squirm in pain to my face. I started to clean myself up, dampening my hair to avoid every sort of dirt or blood that it must have coiled up with. My eyes glanced to Felix who was watching me with keen observation, his eyes hard and cold like a stone.
A part of me wanted to hate him so much like the other part did as he was the cause of all my sufferness. I had a good reputation in the school before, i had friends, people who talked and associated with me. I had a banging body, one whom every guy wanted to desperately touch and at a point in my life, i thanked the moon goddess for bringing him to me.
He was once my everything, my love, my first crush and my first kiss. I gave him everything he asked of, and we were once ranked as the hottest couple in school. He was once the light to my desperate life, but as good as that was, everything turned around when the rumor started, and he became the fire to fuel my desperate life. My life as being bullied started from him, taking leads in it and throwing me to Leah and her cocks den after their last bullied transferred away from our school.
"Are you going to stand there forever? Don't you have classes today?"
I pressed my lips tight, not daring to say anything in response. I managed to walk to the hand dryer, trying my best to make it dry off the remaining water on my body but it was hopeless. My breath hitched in my throat as i felt his hot breath at my back, "Consider this a debt."
"What.. what do you mean?" I stuttered, trying my hardest not to even glance at him.
His hand reached for my wet hair, curling it around his finger which I could see from the mirror in front of me. Those lips I once enjoyed leaned to my ear, "I don't just save useless people, Suz and you know that. You owe me something. Now get to class before i change my mind and call Leah that you need more stomping."
He pulled away from me, stretching his hand towards the door with a devilish smirk on that handsome and devilish face of his. I spared him a long hard gaze, my heart wrenching in pain and words fumbling in my mouth, wishing I could spout out everything and call him the names i desperately wanted to call him. But instead, i clenched my jaw, admitting defeat once again and walking away from him.
"Where are you coming from?" The teacher asked, her eyes looking at me with enough disdain.
"Alpha Felix called me out." I replied, going to my seat without any approval.
"Urghh. She stinks."
"Didn't she look at herself in the mirror before coming to school?"
"What if her father is too poor to buy her a mirror?"
"Then she should open her legs and let an old man sleep with her, take the money and get herself a fine mirror."
I clenched my jaw as Leah and her cocks continued to throw snickers at me, the rest of the class eyes on me, making jest of me already without even sparing them a glance. I picked out my book and pen, placing them on the table and looking up at the teacher to see her eyeing me with disgust and condemnation also. I pressed my lips together, the back of my throat starting to burn with tears.
"Student, this is the pack's greatest high school. Other schools shouldn't see us as a school without morals. And your morals start from the way you dress up, the kind of clothes.."
Our eyes clashed again, eyeing me once again with enough contempt that made my eyes water, "the kind of clothes you put on. Use a perfume and stop smelling like rotten cabbage." She added, her eyes staring directly at mine as she continued the class.
*******************
School finally ended and my heart heaved with relief. I passed directly in front of Leah and her Cocks, who did nothing of the normal bully I faced from them but only an eyeful of their heated gaze. It was probably because of the warning Felix gave them and the gift I now owe him. I walked out of the school in a joyful state, ignoring all the bad and shameful things I have faced and focusing more on what is to come. Tonight was the night I finally shift and get my wolf, finally bring an end to all of this suffering and start my revenge.
A smile crept the corners of my lips as I imagined how it would go. If the moon goddess was by my side, I would finally bring my father down, and not be forced to be bullied by Leah and her cocks anymore.
Maybe I'll tell Felix the truth also, and let the guilt of him not .
choosing to believe me eat him up.
"Hey there, Suz. What's up?"
I looked up to see Asher's and Blair's eyes, the two most useless brothers amongst the quadruplets. Although none of them really attended classes or paid attention which was not really required as they were the Alpha's sons and could do as they wanted. But Asher and Blair were the worst of them. They never attended any class, they did as they wanted, slept around with girls and took advantage of everyone's weaknesses.
"Hi.." I said meekly, my heart beating rapidly on my chest as I eyed them suspiciously.
The both of them exchanged a glance before Asher stepped forward, making me take a step back. His eyes and face melted into a soft gaze, his throat bobbing up and down before clasping his hands together to his back.
"We heard today is your birthday, and on Felix's behalf. We want to apologize to you."
My eyes widened with more suspicions, glancing back and forth between the two of them. "We know we've treated you badly, since everything happened but please give us a chance to treat you better. Let us make it up to you today."
My eyes widened more, shock and surprise filling me up. I gulped down, taking a quick glance to see if we were not gaining attention which we already were before looking back at them, "Let's go." I said in a rush.
They both exchanged another glance, "To where?"
"You want to make it up to me. Then let's go."
"To your place?" Asher asked.
I was startled at that question, my mind reeling me up with questions. Why my place? Why do they want to go..
"We can't go to ours because of Leah and her..
I nodded and cut them off, agreeing to it as we both walked out of the school premises. It didn't take much time to get to my house as we went in their car instead of having to wait for the bus. I unlocked the door with my spare key, the clean house putting me at ease that my father was not around.
"Where is your room?" Blair asked.
Since I was walking in front, I turned to look at him with a small smile, "Upstairs." I retorted.
I rushed in first, dropping my bag and leaning to my bed and under my pillow. At the feel of the cold metallic gun I had kept under my pillow in my hands, my heart went at ease. If they dare try anything, I won't hesitate to kill them.
"So.." I turned back, gulping only to see Asher locking the door.
My eyes widened, my brows also taking a raise as I glanced at both of them, "What's happening?"
Both of them shared another glance before Blair spoke up, "We've heard you have a nice body. And you're great at pleasing people. Let us see what you got."
"Dumb dumb Suz. You really think we care about an apology to you?" Asher added, both of them laughing out.
