Tales of a Broken Queen

~~Eleanor

I walked into the school with my head held high. I wasn't going to let what anyone says about my nature get to me.

I am finally going to stand up for myself. I heard them talking behind me but I made sure that the smile on my lips never wavered. They don't affect me again.

I was too focused on making it to my locker in peace that I hit someone. The books in my hands drop to the ground and I immediately drop to my knees to pick them up muttering sorry to whoever I bumped into.

"Can you watch where you are going? I wouldn't want to be infected by your wolfless nature.

"There was no way I couldn't recognize the voice. It was Kaitlyn, one of my biggest bullies. She is the daughter of the Beta of the pack. I wouldn't want my parents to have a problem with the Beta and his family.

I muttered sorry to her but she stepped on my fingers with her high-heeled boots.

I looked at all their faces, they were laughing and enjoying my screams. Kaitlyn twisted her boots and the effect it had on my hands made me scream louder.

She pulled me by my chin and spoke directly into my face forcing me to look at her dolled-up face.

"Know your place in this pack. You and your family are nothing but a leech to this pack. All you ever do is leech off this pack. You should be glad that this pack still feeds you all with money that would be better off with the orphans."

When she let my face go, I could feel my chin burning. She stepped harder on my fingers and laughed alongside everyone in the hallway.

When she raised her boots from my fingers, I couldn't feel my fingers anymore. I could feel my cheeks wet, not knowing how long I had been crying, I forced myself to stand up without the help of anyone.

No one cared enough to help me, not even the teachers. They all stood and watched Kaitlyn bully me laughing their butts off as though it were a comedy. I wasn't like my peers.

I wasn't going to heal on my own without the aid of antibiotics. I had no wolf and therefore couldn't heal myself.

This is exactly how I live my life. Being tortured at school and everywhere and by everyone except my family. Isn't that a grand lifestyle?

I forced a smile on my face as I pushed open the door prepared to see the only family that cared about my entire existence.

"Mom! Dad! I'm home already..."

The rest of the words got stuck in my throat as my hand flew over my mouth.

"Be quiet, we have a guest and he is resting. Don't wake him up with your loud mouth."

"I'm sorry Mother, I didn't know that we had a guest. It's been forever since someone visited us." I said as low as I could sound.

I wonder who it is anyway, it's not like my parents had any friends. We were omegas and were treated like outcasts. Maybe it's a distant relative.

Father came into sight and before I could go to him, mother beat me to it.

"How is the man?" She asked worriedly.

"He is fine, I managed to remove the knife that got stuck on his leg and treated his wounds so he will be okay in no time."

"Who is this man?" For the first time since I came into the house from school, my father looked at me. He looked stressed out, there were beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Hey honey bee, you're back home, how's school today." He asked pulling me in for a bear hug.

"School was just like always. No one talked to me and the teachers ignored me." I said with a smile on my face and my father hugged me again a little tighter while my mother rubbed my back.

"Don't worry, this will all pass away." Mother said and I nodded.

Pulling away from my father's hug, I looked into his eyes. "So who is this mystery man?"

"Oh, I found him on my way back home. He was injured and was losing a lot of blood and I couldn't leave alone to die so I brought him here to treat him."

"How is he doing now?"

"He should be fine. He was hit with a silver knife so his wolf was shut out so he can't heal fast. He will heal slower than supposed but he should be fine" Father said assuringly.

"Now don't worry about him, just go upstairs and freshen up. Dinner should be set by now." Father added, placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Are you the one cooking tonight?" I whispered to him and he nodded his head.

"Cool, finally I get to eat a healthy meal," I whispered and Father chuckled.

"I heard that Eleanor."

"But it's true," I said and Mother snickered.

Mother has never been a good cook. She is so bad at cooking. Anytime she cooks, Dad and I end up taking cornflakes.

Father covered his mouth with his hands to stop him from laughing and mother elbowed him. He faked a groan and his mother immediately rushed to his side buying his act.

She always falls for this trick every single time. I shook my head at him and he winked at me.

I looked at them one last time before I went to my room. They looked cute together.

I can't wait to find my mate. He would be just like my father and he would love me to death. I shook my head at my little fantasy and I walked up to my room.

I just wished our lives would have been a little more different. I wished that they would stop seeing me as a plague.

Sometimes, I wished that I were in Kaitlyn's shoes.

~~Eleanor

"My money is missing!" Kaitlyn screamed and everyone rushed to her side. She is such a drama queen.

I arranged my bag and was prepared to step out of the class. At least no one bullied me today, they were all in a good mood.

Chloe blocked my path and I tried to walk past her but she held my hand.

"Bring the money out in peace and you won't get hurt leech.

"I blinked my eyes at her. Wait! She was accusing me of stealing Kaitlyn's money?

"I swear I didn't take it." By now everyone had shifted their focus to me.

"Why would I even steal it?" I asked no one in particular and Chloe took a step towards me.

"Are you trying to get back at Kaitlyn?" She asked and I shook my head.

Kaitlyn walked closer to me.

"Everyone knows that your parents are too poor so cut the crap thief." I moved backward and she moved closer to me. I was done with them talking bad about me.

"I am not a thief!" I shouted and everyone looked at me in shock. It was probably the first time that I had raised my voice at anyone.

"Instead of blaming me, maybe you should search everyone and see the real culprit." Kaitlyn scoffed.

"You are the poorest here. You are the one who can't afford to attend school in this pack. Your mother works for me and I know how much my parents pay her. You and your family are nothing but servants to this pack. You should be grateful that the Alpha is kind enough to let you stay here when you will only make the pack weaker." She spouted arrogantly.

I couldn't stop myself even if I wanted to. My hand found its way to Kaitlyn's cheeks for a sound slap. She held her cheeks in shock then she hit me harder.

I felt my hair being pulled in different directions. I couldn't fight them all. They were all stronger than me. I felt someone tug at my pants and I struggled to fight back but I was held down by people I couldn't point out.

My pants were pulled down. I was left in only my undies. Just when I thought it was all over, someone dragged me by my clothes and ended up tearing my top in half. I couldn't stop the tears that flew freely down my face. I stood in front of everyone half naked.

They all laughed at me, some pulled out their phones and took pictures. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me.

No one came to my rescue. They all laughed at me pointing their filthy fingers at me.

"This is little compared to what I will do to you if you touch any of my stuff with those filthy hands of yours.

"I used my hands to cover what was left of my dignity. Someone threw a bucket full of some liquid at me. It didn't take me time to figure out what the liquid was. Everyone held their nose. I was being filmed all this while and no one cared to help me.

I stared hard at the person who threw the stinking liquid at me. It was Tara, she was an omega like me but the difference is that she had a wolf even though she was weak. I thought we were supposed to help our own.

For once, I wished I was not born into this world. I wished I was not too weak. I wished I was strong enough to fight them back. I wished I could make them pay.

But what could I do, I was nothing but a wolfless omega. The weakest werewolf in the Red Crimson's pack.

I picked my torn clothes from the floor and my backpack which was tossed away from me. I stuffed everything inside my backpack.

Blinded by my tears, I staggered out of their presence with the whole school laughing behind me.

I wiped the tears from my face but it did not in any way help close the dam that was forced open. I wrapped my hands around myself as I walked down to my house ignoring the boring holes created at my back as I walked past some of the pack members. I was more than disgraced.

All I wanted at this point was to make it safely to my house and cry my heart out on my bed hugging my pillow.

The door was slightly opened when I got home but I didn't think much about it. I had a bigger problem to deal with. I pushed the door open and was met with the most gory scene in my life.

If I had thought that being violated and bullied at school was the worst thing that had happened to me today, then I was more than wrong.

Right in front of me were my parents lying in the pool of their blood. I opened my mouth to scream and my father's eyes met mine. He lifted a finger to his lips and I understood what he meant. His lips were moving and I followed the movement 'I love you' he said and forced a smile on his torn lips.

My hand flew over my mouth as my eyes were wide open.

I saw someone in a mask, he must be the person who had the guts to do this to my parents. He lifted the sword in his hands and I recognized it at once. The serial killer! He was the topic of the pack.

He was the rouge who had wiped out a whole pack slowly and this was his signature tool. Right in front of me, he stabbed my mother repeatedly, cutting her wrist.

She was too weak to fight, it seemed like she was already dead. Then he moved to my father, he used his signature tool and placed a cut in his wrist then he beheaded him.

I could only watch, my mouth wide open with no words coming out from them. The tears had doubled.

He flipped open the window and jumped through it.

Eleanor's POV

I moved closer to my parents' dead bodies. I didn't realize that my hands were shaky until I placed them on my mother's.

I tried to feel her pulse but I didn't get any. I touched her neck and got the same result. I refused to believe that she was gone.

I turned to look at my father's headless body and that was when the sound came out and it was too deafening that I had to close my ears to prevent it from being damaged.

It took me a while to realize that the deafening sound was coming from me but that didn't stop the deafening sound.

My parents were gone. The only people that cared about me were gone. I screamed for help holding my father's head in my hands.

No matter how loud I screamed, no one came to my rescue. It was as if they didn't hear me. I didn't bother to wash the blood from my hands or change my clothes.

I ran from my house to the Alpha to tell him what just happened. Ignoring all the weird looks that were thrown at me, I made it in time to catch him before he entered his car. I struggled myself free from the warriors and ran to him.

"Alpha please hear me out!" I shouted but he turned to me, stared at me up and down then his hands steadied on my bloodied hands.

"Who the hell did you kill Eleanor!" The words I planned on spilling out got stuck in my throat and I coughed violently.

That was the first thought he had about me.

"My parents were just murdered. The murderer just left and I'm sure that he has not gone far. Alpha please help me get my parents the justice they deserve." I begged with my kneels on the ground and my hands clasped together.

"Get up, the Beta will attend to you. I have somewhere important to be right now. I'm sorry about your parents." He said and he stepped into the already-opened car before I could even thank him.

"Follow me." Beta Jason said and I nodded, wiping the tears off my face.

"Tell us everything that led to their death." He said as he sat down on his chair while I stood on my feet.

"Yesterday, my father saved someone. He took him home and treated his wounds. He didn't expect the person to be a serial killer. I came back from school today only to be welcomed by my parents' death scene. He left through the window. He couldn't have gone far, please help me..." I explained in between hiccups.

"Wait, you're trying to tell me that your father brought home a serial killer who..." the Beta started...

"He didn't know he was the serial killer, I swear."

"You don't cut me halfway through my speech Eleanor. Have you no manners at all?" He thundered and I shook in fear, shaking my head.

"I'm sorry but you have to help me please." The more time they wasted, the more time they gave the murderer to escape.

"We can't help you, Eleanor. Your father knew the rules of the pack before he decided to bring home a rogue without the consent of his Alpha." He said and my muscles weakened.

"Please search for him, he..."

"I said we can't help you!!" He shouted and I almost fell.

"They are supposed to be punished for going against their Alpha and pack but I guess the moon goddess already punished them." Beta Jason muttered with a slight smile.

I couldn't believe my ears. My parents didn't deserve what happened to them. I thought that the motto of the pack was a problem for one, a problem for all.

I guessed that didn't apply to me and my family.

"If you don't mind, leave. I have work to do. Bury your parents if you like. No one cares." Beta Jason muttered nonchalantly.

No one cares.

I walked back to the place I was once proud to call home. The place that once brought me to life with the Beta's last words replaying in my mind. No one cares.

He was right. No one cared about me or my family. To them, I was nothing but a loophole to the pack. We were all from the same pack.

We were supposed to help each other. I'm sure if it were any of the other pack members, a search party would have been thrown but since it had to do with the wolfless werewolf, no one cared.

No one cared if I died or not. No one cared that I just lost my parents. Everyone carried on with their daily activities as though someone's life was not lost.

No one sympathized with me, no one...

However, I still thought of someone who could help me out. She is my classmate and also an omega, so I thought she could be of help and talk to anyone around her.

I ran to her place immediately thinking I would get a chance. Maybe she had always been so mean because Kaitlyn pressured her to behave like that towards me, now that we weren't in school, she will help.

I concluded that and went to her house hopefully.

Little did I know that the little hope I had left was about to crumble finally.

I got to her place immediately and explained things to her. I was so happy to see that she listened to me attentively.

"Tara, please help, you have a wolf and you could find the murderer quickly" I pleases desperately and she looked me up with disgust evident in her eyes.

"You haven't prayed enough, Eleanor, keep praying until the Moon goddess answers your prayer and gives you a wolf" Tara spat, and fresh tears rolled down my cheeks.

"You must be thinking that I'm still the nice Tara you met on your first day at the school"

"I'm not, besides, it felt so natural to have someone below me that I could bully, instead of getting bullied" she added and I cried bitterly.

"Brutal death! Maybe that's what the Moon goddess wants for you and your parents" Tara said and kicked me out of the way before heading back in.

Not even Tara would help... No one was ready to help...
