Another Chance

Emily’s POVI was more relieved to stay in my room away from their boisterous voices. I liked to imagine a quiet peaceful life, where I would go away from here and start a new life. I imagined a future, but the reality was cruel and merciless. The world outside of these walls wasn't kind to my family. The outside world took my family away from me leaving me in the hands and mercy of strangers.My real father died when I was ten, Mother had remarried that monster downstairs a year after. We didn't have any money, things were hard and he was on our way out of poverty but soon Mother died too and the monster downstairs returned to his sick ex-wife and sick daughter.When he had begun hitting me, people in the pack cautioned him, even the Alpha but Hershel Liamsworth didn't take orders from nobody. Soon everyone forgot about me, all I always got were those pitiful stares that made me sick to my stomach . Every day I found myself praying to anyone and everything that they'd take it back.

Emily’s POVThe next morning I woke up to the endless throbbing of my head, my neck sore and sore. A thin sheen of sweat covered every inch of my body making my tank top stick to my chest uncomfortably. My limbs ached, my throat was dry and my legs and arms felt shaky. All of this combined with the dull pain in my ribs meant I couldn't walk on my own anymore, not in this state. Still, the moment I noticed I couldn't move I tried again, pulling myself up using a nearby table. Slowly I managed to stand but instantly regretted it, my legs gave way under me and I collapsed to the ground, my head landing on the floor beside me.A muffled sob escaped my lips as I laid my head on the floor and closed my eyes, the light of the sun blinding me. I couldn't move or talk, I had no idea how much time had passed before the first knock resounded at the door.I wanted to ignore them and pretend I didn't exist. However, I had no other choice since I couldn't open my mouth even if my life depended on

Emily’s POV“Where have you been?” Avery snapped. I almost jumped at how close her voice was to me.Her tone was harsh and cold and I couldn't help but cringe at it. “Out to get your dresses” I handed the bag over to her and she snatched it away from me. I winced at her actions. “That's right, you are a slave and you should never forget this. Don't show weakness or else I'm gonna beat you to death”I hated that sentence.“Thanks” I mumbled without moving my head towards her and turned around heading back to the kitchen without sparing a glance back, ignoring the pain in my throat and eyes that refused to shed another tear, as I walked out with my head held high.I had to make lunch and dinner just in case Father decided he needed to eat his dinner early and I was glad to find a new table in the kitchen.I started working silently and efficiently, I didn't need to say anything to anyone because nobody cared.My mind began wandering.I wondered what had happened that day to make ever

Luka's POVThe hotel was supposed to be the best they had in town but it looked like a cheap place with too many rooms and not enough beds. I wonder how Alfred had managed to locate this place.When I got to my room, it didn’t look as bad as I had expected it to be. The bed seemed more solid than it had looked when we had walked in. That was good. At least now I was getting proper sleep, instead of the usual hours of tossing and turning, and maybe that was why it still didn’t look so terrible. I “I'll be in the next room if you need me” Alfred’s voice echoed through my room. I had forgotten he was still here.I nodded at him but still didn't turn until I heard the creaking of the door as it closed behind him.I saw her amber eyes against her freckled face and I knew immediately that it was wrong - she was dead. There was no way her heart could still beat or her lungs take a breath.I remember her battered body on the cold ground in the woods . Her lifeless eyes staring up into noth

Emily’s POV“I am sorry father, I am so sorry, it wouldn't happen again!” My pleading filled the living room of our house. I crawled on my butt trying to get away from him.He was going to kill me, I know he was and nothing was going to stop him, no one. All I needed was a miracle. A miracle that was far from me.I regained consciousness with a slap. Apparently, I almost wolfed out and I had slashed the disgusting man’s face with my claws and his furious ass took back his money from Father and that was the reason why I was here.My father- stepfather was going to kill me!My pleas were nothing to Herschel Liamsworth and he seemed to stick with his decision. No one loved losing money - especially him.“You are the jinx in this family! Because of your presence, I lost a gamble and am in huge debt! You must make up for it and now you plan to kill me. That is why you tried to kill that man in there, isn't it?”“No, I swear I was going to…” I stopped to cough and it was bloodThen Avery a
