Aurora’s pov
The sun beats down my back brutally as I place the now dry clothes in the basin. I had not caten from
morning and the hunger was slowly eating me alive. I was sweaty and icky and in need of a shower. But I
knew better, until I was done with my chores I couldn’t relax under the sprinkle of water. I sighed, placing
the last of Alpha Raphael’s clothes in the basin.
“Hey Aurora!”
I whip around and smile at Cassandra. She was the only wolf who didn’t look at me in disgust and was
my only friend. She was the daughter of an omega and was classified as one also. An omega was the
bottom of the ranking chain in the wolf community but seeing as no one knew what I was, I suppose I
was the very bottom in this pack. 1 “Need any help today?” Her pretty dirty blonde hair whips over her
shoulder as she bounds over to me. Even though they treated her badly, Cas never showed how truly
hurt she felt by their words. They taunted her for being the weakest wolf and treated her like dirt. Just like
they treat me.
I giggled, the sun warming my face. “And have them punish you again like the last time? How many
times will they punish you because of me?” She shrugs, her glassy blue eyes dancing with mirth when
she’s beside me.” I may be a little slower in healing than most wolves but I can handle a few lashes.
Besides, Gomery is busy dozing off in the living room. She won’t know a thing.” I smiled wiping off the
sweat that coated my forehead thinly.”It’s still a no. I can do the chores on my own Cas. No need to
suffer along with me.”
Cassandra huffs and in a swift move, tugs the basin out of my hand and into hers. She whirls around
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtquickly before I could protest. “What friend would I be if I let you suffer on your own? “She grunts as she
lifts the basin onto the side of her waist and walks towards the packhouse.
My mouth wanted to protest but my body felt relieved from the weight of the basin no longer on my waist.
There weren’t many clothes left from that last trip but the previous ones really worked me up.
“Cas at least wait up!” I whispered, knowing she’d hear because of the enhanced hearing the wolves
were blessed with.
Her glassy blue eyes twinkle as she turns around to poke her tongue at me childishly.” So you could take
back the basin? Not a chance.”
1 sighed and followed her into the house. It was more so as a mansion with plenty of rooms to house
more than a hundred wolves. The Crystal River pack was a large pack. I would always have to cook for
more than four hundred wolves, sometimes there were plates left so I still couldn’t pinpoint the exact
number of wolves here.
When we entered the kitchen, we were surprised to see Alice, Becka and Livia lounging on the stools
surrounding the endless kitchen island. The kitchen was one of the largest rooms in the house. And
considering how many mouths they had to feed, it was a good thing too.
Cassandra slowed down, her footsteps almost hesitant to continue. My throat dries up as Alice’s light
brown eyes fell on my figure. I quickly drop my head. “Hey look, the freak of nature is here.” Her sickly
sweet voice launted. “Hey elf girl, my little brother wanted a toy for Christmas last year. He was very
disappointed when your sugar daddy Santa didn’t show up.” Livia giggled.
Lívia was convinced that I was an elf because of my pointy ears and rather short height of 49. I couldn’t
possibly be. Because elves don’t exist. At least not in this world.
“Always wondered why she constantly looks so tired, now I know. Aurora likes humping on an old man’s
cock for hours. Next time at least give him a break to drop those gifts for the kids.” Becka’s nasal laugh
gritted my bones.
Their taunting was always the same. Every day and the same exact words. I thought at least this time
around, they’d be a little more creative.
I knew I couldn’t say that out loud or look at them with any emotion other than fear. So I twisted my
hands together in front of me and turn my head away from them. “Gosh Aurora, ever heard of a shower?
You stink like a dog’s ass.” Alice snarled and her friends roared with laughter. I blinked, the power of their
words getting to me like they usually did. I fisted my hands and gripped some of my dirty torn dress. It
used to be white before, but that was years ago. Now it i s stained with grime and blood. It was filthy and
hadn’t been washed in a day or so. “Don’t mind them Aurora. They’re just sad little bitches.” Cas
murmurs before me. Her voice was soft and reassuring.
“What did you call us you fucking bitch!?” The voice of Alice nearly shook the walls as she growls.
Both Cas and I froze. Cassandra turns to face me and sends me a panic look. I swallowed the lump in
my throat and snap my head to face Alice and her friends. Alice’s eyes were golden, the sign of her wolf
currently present.
She snarls, teeth jutting out in warning as she glares at Cassandra heatedly. “Come on you stupid
omega, repeat what you just said.” She urged Cas to fall into her trap.
Livia twirls her jet black hair between her finger as she giggles at Cassandra and I’s horror stricken
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfaces. “You’re going to make them shit themselves Alice.”
Alice was the daughter of gamma Michael, which meant she was of higher ranking. Cassandra and I
couldn’t possibly match her strength. Not even if we fought together.
“Aurora’s good at cleaning up crap, so I’m sure she wouldn’t have a problem.” Becka snorted. “What’s
going on here?” Gomery loud pitched voice booms through the walls of the kitchen, instantly silencing
everyone. The gold in Alice’s eyes disappears as Gomery enters the kitchen. Gomery was one of the
elders in the pack which meant she was well respected. She was also Alpha Raphael’s aunt, so her
presence demanded respect. Gomery’s nasty glare falls on Cassandra and I and her features tightened
in anger. My heart pounds. “You, girl!” She spat, her feet pad across the kitchen floors as she struts
towards us.”
Have I not warned you to not stick your nose where it doesn’t belong?” Cassandra’s shoulders sag as
she showed her neck in submission.” I just wanted to help my friend.” She mumbles lowly, fingers
gripping the basin tightly. “I just wanted to help my friend.” Livia mocked lowly. Becka and Alice giggled.
Gomery’s glare turned lethal as she pinned Cassandra with the weight of her gaze. “You want t o help
omega? Fine. Fold all the clothes that have been washed today and have the Alpha’s clothes in his
drawer before twelve-thirty.”
Cassandra sighs dejectedly but still nods, “As you wish.” “Wait before you leave, have all the bathrooms
spotless before dinner tonight,” Gomery added with a sour voice that warned of punishment if Cassandra
whined. Cas sends me an apologetic smile and nods at Gomery’s words before leaving the kitchen.
Gomery’s fuming stare fixes on me and I held my breath. “And you. You’ll be cooking the pack’s dinner
tonight. Alone.” Her warning was clear. If I protested I would surely get punished severely
