Jesse's POV
"The alpha requests your presence," one of the warriors said as he looked at me with a disgusted face. That was common for me, every single person in this pack hated me because I haven't shifted and being the omega's daughter I was the embarrassment of my whole family. Scratch that, I was the embarrassment of the whole pack.
I cleaned my hands in my worn-out jeans. I didn't have anything decent to wear, but I tried to make the most of the few clothes that I had thanks to Lana, my only friend in this pack. Sometimes I wonder why everyone hates me so much. If it was because I haven't shifted yet, I had no say in that and their hatred was plain stupid. It didn't matter though, I don't think they needed a reason to hate me, they just needed someone to direct their anger at. It was like I was their personal punching bag.
I followed the warrior to the Alpha's office. That is another thing, I'm always watched, like I'm some sort of enemy. The betas always whisper about me, like I can't hear them.
My name is Jesse Washinton, I'm 19 years old and to my pack, I'm an outcast, a glitch in the werewolf community. At 16, you usually gain your ability to shapeshift into a full wolf, but I didn't. My mom died after she gave birth to me, so they started saying that my being unable to shift was because of a curse, a punishment from the Moon Goddess, as I killed my mom.
Chapely's POV
I reached the alpha's office and knocked on the door softly, I did things carefully to avoid being yelled at or beaten. When I heard the "come in", I opened the door to find my worst enemies.
My sister Deborah, one of my biggest problems, sat in the lap of Alpha Lancelot, who was going to be the head Alpha next week. The current Alpha Justin, sat behind his desk, while his son was on the couch close to the window. I saw Alpha Lancelot stiffen, weird. He has acted strangely these last few days.
"I was told that you called for me sir". After I finished speaking, I heard a growl coming from Alpha Justin. He hated that I spoke first.
"What have I told you, Jesse? You cannot speak unless spoken to, or do I have to teach you a lesson again?" I felt a chill in my back as I remembered that beating. It left me unable to move for almost an entire week, especially since I couldn't receive medical treatment.
"No sir, that won't be necessary, it won't happen again". With that, he gave me a satisfied look. Fucker.
"I called you because I need you to organise everything for my son's ceremony. He has chosen his Luna, as you can see, and I'm giving him the pack." Oh, great! More things for me to do. "You have to send the invitations, prepare the food and the suites for every Alpha or Beta that may come."
I saw my sister's face, she was damn happy that I was the one doing this shitty job, and it was because she took my mate from me.
I still remember the day when I found out that I was Lancelot's mate. It was the worst day of my fucking life.
No, I am not going along that path again. I shook that thought and tried to concentrate on what Justin was saying.
"Is everything clear?" fuck, what did he say? I'm not going to ask, that is going to get me a beating. It can't be that hard. I've organised everything in this pack for almost two years now.
"Yes Alpha, is that all? So I can start preparing everything." I saw my sister grind against Lancelot. Gross. Thankfully, I don't feel pain anymore, or let's just say that I have grown used to pain, so it doesn't affect me as much. It wasn't a physical pain, it was more like my heart ached every time I saw them.
"No Jesse," I saw how a malicious smile appeared on my sister's face. "It's been what, like almost two years, and you still haven't shifted, right?"
I wanted to growl at her, but I couldn't. I just looked at her and tried to suppress the urge to hit her. As I wasn't answering, she continued "If you still haven't shifted by your 20th birthday, then why do you live here? You are one more mouth to feed and don't do anything here."
Calm down Jesse, just breathe. She wants you to lose your mind so that she can beat you herself.
"She has a point, dad. But I think I have a better plan."
Said Lancelot. Great, now he is going to talk shit about me as well. As if they didn't know that I did everything in the pack house and for zero payment. I'm like a fucking slave.
"What do you suggest, son, we can't banish her, she hasn't broken any laws." Yet, if I don't leave in the next five minutes I'm gonna lose my shit and get myself killed. They talk as if I'm not here.
"Well, the Alpha King has requested a breeder. Since she is a Beta by blood, she could produce amazing heirs." I want to vomit. "That being said, it could give us a great opportunity to gain a place on the council," Lancelot said.
"Hmmm," I can't believe he is considering it. I'm not even of age right now. "That is a great idea son, I knew you could be an Alpha. You are behaving like one just now". Why Moon Goddess, why do you hate me so much?
"jesse," said Alpha Justin with anger, "you are not listening to me, but since you are going to be the King's breeder I can't leave any marks" fucking great. "If by your 20th birthday you haven't shifted, you are going to go with the King."
"And if I refuse?" I said I don't care if they beat me, my body is not for sale.
"Looks like you have forgotten your place" I saw as Alpha Justin's eyes fogged, meaning he was psych bonding someone and a few seconds later the door burst open as three warriors entered. They grabbed me and injected my neck with purple wolfsbane as I tried to break free from their grip.
It was useless. They were stronger than I. I could only see how they carried me to the dungeon of the pack. A place that I knew damn well. Their fun is just beginning, at least I don't have to prepare Lancelot's ceremony. I Just hope that death will arrive. Everything is better like this.
