Regan POV
1 am in a state of shock. I was completely taken by surprise by what happened in that study hack at the pack house: Frant
believe that my father went to such lengths to keep me in this pick, going so far as to demand a legal document from the Alpha
and Luna. I can’t swallow my tongue any longer as I stand there fuming, my father walking through the door, with a wide smile of
satisfaction on his face. There’s a sparkle in his eyes, a spring in his steps, whereas Heather has already left the house to go do
some shopping.
“How could you I accuse as he shuts the door, my fury rising “How could you do that to me?” I shouted.
His eyes go cold and darken. “I did what I had to. I told you that you were never leaving this pack, and I meant it” he said with a
growl “Now you don’t have a choice.”
His tone is gloating as he looks me in the eyes, unrepentantly.
“That was my future” I was beyond reckless as my fury continued to grow. “Now you’ve all but condemned me to become an
omega at the packhouse for the rest of my life” I screamed “How can you hate me this much?”
I was sobbing by now. The thought of being in this pack forever, was breaking me inside.
“Easily. Because of you, my mate died” he growled, “and as for being an omega at the pack house, it’s the least you deserve. Be
thankful they were willing to take you, even pay you for your work” he added.
1 stared at him, tears trailing down my cheeks “Be thankful” I whispered brokenly “Be thankful for what? Being a slave? Being
bullied? Being hated?” I shook my head, feeling bitter. “If you were looking for a way to get your revenge on me, you couldn’t
have planned it any better. Nothing I do is ever going to make up for that day, is it?” I demanded, feeling hysterical “Nothing is
going to take that pain away? You’re always going to blame me because it’s easier that way. None of you want to remember your
own failures,”
“You shut your damn mouth” he glares at me, making a menacing gesture as I stand there motionless. “You don’t get to speak to
me this way. I am your father” he began, drawing his shoulders back and staring at me with a frosty expression.
“My father?” I give an incredulous laugh “You are not my father. We might share blood” I give him a look filled with disgust and
pure hatred “but you are not a father to me. My father died the same day my mother did” I whispered, my heart feeling like it was
breaking into a million tiny pieces “and I have never seen that same man again. You are just a stranger to me” 1, told him,
unspeakable pain shooting through me, the kind that almost paralyzes you “and Mother would never have wanted you to act this
way. She would be devastated to see what you’ve become” I finished, staring at him steadily.
Silence. I can see his face contorting, as though he’s inwardly struggling with something. I already know instinctively that I’ve
gone too far, but part of me is beyond caring. I’m so hurt, so angry, that I’m lashing out. I can see the looks on all their faces, the
Alpha, the Luna, the Alpha twins. When Xavier and Xander had signed the paper, agreeing to keep me here, I had felt as though
they had betrayed me. All of them. But the twin’s betrayal had hurt the most, which had surprised me. I had almost begged them
to show leniency thut been forced to swallow my pride, knowing that it would be futile. Iwondered if they even considered the
consequences of their decisions and what it meant for me or if they cared,
My father’s roar filled the room. “I told you I
to speak of her.
“Why?” I was indignant now, my hands clenched into fists as I stared him down, watching as his eyes darkened and narrowed as
he continued to regard me, “Because it hurts to talk about her? Or because you know she would be ashamed of how you act
towards me?”
He let out another roar and stalked towards me. I felt apprehensive but forced back my fear, my heart racing loudly in my chest.
He grabbed my arm, yanking it roughly as I gave a sharp cry of pain.
“You think you can disrespect me?” he hissed, dragging me with him, as I whimpered “You should know by now that I won’t
tolerate it. None of it he growled “None of it Regan.”

I said nothing, stumbling down the stairs as he shoved me, landing on my knees. I didn’t even have a chance to get back up.
before I felt the whip against my back. Whack. Even through the Jabric, I felt the searing pain I stiffened.
“Murderer” my father shouted, incensed, the whip striking me again “Just to look at you, fills me with so much rage” he breathed.
Whack. I fell forward, tears trickling down my face as I openly sobbed. I heard my father’s voice, behind me, filled with rage.
“Kneel”
I hesitated.
“Kneel” he snapped “of I will add another strike for each time you continue to disobey me.”
holding himself back when it came to using the whip, his strength and force formidable. My cries grew louder, my shrieks and
even screams flooding the room. I could feel the blood cascading down my back, feel my flesh as it got torn open. When my
father eventually stopped, I was only half conscious, barely able to move and my tears long since dried. The only thing I felt now
was pain.
“Never, disrespect me again” my father’s voice is cold and comes from behind me, “or question my actions. You’re lucky that 1
even kept you after what you did” he spat “instead of sending you into the wilderness to die as I initially considered.”

I turned my head in time to see him shake his head at me, before placing the whip carefully away. The basement was filled with
bits of broken–down furniture, including a smelly, threadbare mattress that wasn’t too far away. My father’s wrinkled as he
glanced around the room and then back at me. You’re meant to start as an omega tomorrow, so I suggest you stay down here
and attempt to heal” he growled “Not that it will do much good, but if you prove to be useless the Alpha and Luna will not be
happy.”
Maybe he should have thought about that before he whipped me, I thought sardonically, tightening my lips. I didn’t dare say it out
loud though. My father’s gaze fixated on me. His tone was venomous when he opened his mouth and began to speak.
“For as long as you live,” he said, staring at me, his eyes piercing my very soul “your life will be as miserable as I can make it.
Isabelle will be my pride and joy, elevating our status and proving her strength to the pack. You” he paused, creasing his brow,
“you are just a waste of everyone’s time and pack resources.”
He turned and stormed from the room as I lay there, weak, drained, and in immense pain. Every movement would bring a
throbbing, painful, sensation through me. I gritted my teeth and forced myself to move, practically crawling to the mattress in the
far corner of the basement and collapsing onto it, staring weakly towards the door and the stairs that led out of it. If I had thought
that my father hated me before, it was nothing compared to how he felt towards me now. His hatred of me had grown over the
years and I shuddered, rChapter 9
Regan POV
I feel the curious stares of the pack members as I walk inside the jack house, ready to start my work as an omega. My gait is
slow due to the pain I am experiencing all over my body, from the whipping I received courtesy of my father yesterday. I grit my
teeth as Luna Jennifer comes over to me, frowning as she glances down at my appearance. I’m wearing basic sweatpants and a
loose flowing shirt, with sneakers and my haired up in a messy ponytail, the only thing I had been able to manage with my aching
and throbbing back.
“You could have made more of an effort with your appearance he mutters under her breath, looking displeased while I remain
silent.
She sighs. “At least it won’t matter if you get dirty. I want you to go help in the kitchen, start by putting dishes away and washing
them. That shouldn’t be too hard she advises, shaking her head and walking away, without a second glance.
Great. Bending and twisting. That was going to prove to be painful, seeing as I had not fully healed from yesterday’s trauma. try
not to flinch at the thought and instead make my way into the large kitchen, heading straight for the sink. I put away dishes first,
putting them into the right cupboards, grateful that the dining area is relatively empty. I shuffle back and forth. grabbing dishes off
the table and stacking them neatly, before beginning to fill up the sink with water and dishwashing liquid. I move slowly, the other
omegas all leaving me to my task or finding some sort of an excuse to leave, but I don’t mind. preferring the silence and finding
the solitude relaxing. As I began to wash the dishes, I heard footsteps behind me.
“Well look who it is” I tense at the sound of the familiar voice, feeling dread inside of me.
Isabelle. Not just Isabelle but Tegan was with her as well. I glanced hesitantly over my shoulder, shuddering at the look of
menace in their eyes.I know they aren’t just here to chat. I glance around the kitchen for help but there’s nobody else here.
besides me of course. I swallow hard.
“I’m just doing the dishes as Luna Jennifer requested,” I said weakly, hoping that might be enough to dissuade them.
Isabelle flips her hair over her head, looking at Tegan deliberately. Tegan laughs out loud “I can’t believe your stepsister has
been made an omega, how embarrassing she sneers.
I don’t have time for this. I turn back to my dishes, but Tegan gribs my arm and yanks me away, water sloshing onto the ground
as I stare down at it in dismay. Now the floor is soaking wet and will need mopping.
“I can’t believe they let the likes of you in the pack house, even as a lowly omega” Isabelle speaks clearly, as I stare at her, my
fringe half covering my eyes so that I am partly blind.
“What does it matter Isabelle? Just let me finish my task in peace I begged.
Didn’t she have anything better to do than torment me?
I didn’t want to face Luna Jennifer’s wrath if I didn’t finish the dishes quickly enough, I was sure I would be judged on how quickly
I performed the tasks I was given by the Luna. Isabelle shorted and glanced at Tegan, giving her some sort of signal, and Tegan
disappeared behind me. I frowned, hearing the sound of water running in the sink
“No” I murmur, resigned “I’m not, are you happy now?” I shot at her.
“Happy? I want you gone” she declares heatedly, grabbing my hair and yanking it hard as I gasp in pain. “I don’t want you
anywhere near this pack or near my mates. As long as you are here, you are a distraction to the pack” she said, narrowing her
eyes “and a liability. It would be better for everyone if you were dead” she declared, staring me directly in the eyes as though
willing it to happen.
Tears fill my eyes. “You don’t mean that?” I whisper brokenly, even as I know she does.

That’s how everyone feels” Isabelle’s voice is ruthless “They’re just too polite to say it
I try to yank myself away from her, but she tightens her grip on the, causing me to struggle harder. She punches me in the
stomach, and I double over gasping in pain. She leans in close, whispering in my car “I can’t stand you, I hate that you’re my
stepsister. If I had my way, you would be left in the woods to die by a rogue attack.”
1 blanched. Her tone was dripping with venom. I dimly heard the water stop running. Isabelle pulled my hair again, causing tears
to come to my eyes. I just wanted this to stop. If I retaliated though, the consequences would be far worse than what she did to
me.
“Stupid little bitch” she hissed “I can’t wait to become Luna and make your life more of a living hell than it already is
1 gave a low groan, just as Tegan came back over, nodding at Isabelle as a wide smile spread across her face. I barely had time
to see it, before Isabelle grasped my hand, holding it tightly in her own. What was she doing.?
Tegan gave a loud giggle. “This is going to be good,” she said, eyeing Isabelle with amusement, her eyes dancing with
mischievousness.
“Isabelle, let go I tried to pull my hand away, feeling instinctively that something bad was about to happen, “let go” I pleaded.
“Shut up” she growled “god you’re annoying” she huffed.
It almost felt as though she was crushing my fingers. Her strength was formidable, and she didn’t even have her wolf yet. She
was still fully human for now. No wonder Father preferred her over me. Her biological father had been a beta as well, hence. the
beta blood she possessed. She dragged me towards the sink which was filled with water and dishwashing liquid as I stared at it,
not comprehending what was about to happen. I tried to dig my heels in, but Tegan shoved me from behind, causing me to
stumble forward several steps, almost slamming into the counter.
Isabelle moved her hand, and I heaved a sigh of relief, before she moved it up my arm, squeezing it painfully and forcing it
to move.
I let out a small sob “Stop Isabelle. You’ve had your fun.”
She lets out a laugh. “Not yet I haven’t.”
1. up.
She narrows her eyes. I feel Tegan behind me. She drags my hand forward and then slams my hand into the water. My eyes
widen in disbelief, and I open my mouth to scream, Tegan’s hand coming over my mouth preventing anybody from hearing the
muffled sounds as I let loose. Heat. Overwhelming, all–consuming heat covers my hand. I try to desperately pull
but Isabelle’s hand keeps my hand firmly stuck in the water It’s hot. So hot. It’s burning me. Tegan had filled the sink with nothing
but hot water. Tears trail down my cheeks as I try to pull away, my body pulling and twisting. It hurts so bad. I pant, thinking that I
can’t take any more of the pain. Just as I’m about to give up, Isabelle lets go and I yank my hand out, sobbing and turning the
cold water on, placing my hand in the other sink and letting the cold water spill over it as Tegan laughs, letting go of my mouth.
“Look at her cry” Tegan mocked, peering at me and then wrinkling her nose as she saw how red and awful my hand looked.
“Look how ugly her hand is now” she adds as Isabelle looks as well
“Just as ugly as the rest of her” Isabelle smiled cruelly and then motioned for Tegan to follow her, “Keep your mouth shut Regan”
she warns, moving away from me “This is nothing compared to what’s in store if you cross me” She widens her eyes and smiles
“Or tell”
I say nothing, heaving and sobbing. I can’t move, I can’t begin to describe the pain combined with what I was already feeling- I
felt as though I was about to throw up. The girls disappeared. A voice from behind me speaks, sounding angry.
“Who did this to you?” causing me to turn around, startled.
I take in his dark eyes and clenched jaw as he waits impatiently for my answer, his arms folding across his chest as he glares.
ealizing that if he was prepared to go this far with his punishments then there was nothing that would stop him from hurting me
even further. What would he do when I eventually got my wolf and was able to fight back? I shivered. Did my father have a plan
for that too? Would he demand the Alpha prevent me from shifting? The thought had never occurred to me before but now,
instead of feeling excited about the prospect of getting my wolf, all I could feel was fear. What would they do when I turned
eighteen and my wolf made itself known? Darkness overtook me and I succumbed to it gratefully, feeling the pain fade away as I
drifted into unconsciousness.
