maltreating her

CHAPTER 4

A few years later, things had taken a drastic turn, not in a good way for Rebekah but rather in a very awful way. She often wondered if the Moon Goddess was playing tricks with her life, because she needed a miracle and she needed it as soon as possible, like right now.

"Good morning Alpha", she said calmly as she arranged his clothes on their bed while he came out from the bathroom, preparing to attend some meetings concerning the pack.

"I believe my clothes are ready?", He questioned a bit harshly as he dried his hair.

"Yes Alpha", Rebekah gulped.

She recalled when he told her that she was not just an Omega to him but was his equal and the joy that filled her heart that for once she won't be abused or looked down on but now, she was not even allowed to call him by his name. The last time she did it mistakenly, it was not a good day for her, but that's another story for another day.

"What are you waiting for? Get to work will you? Instead of standing there like someone with no brains", he ordered her angrily. It seemed that the sight of her angered him more than ever now and Rebekah had tried to make things go back to how they were before but everything just got worse.

"I- I'm so-sorry Alpha", she stuttered and looked down, "I- I was just wondering if you needed anything before I leave?".

"I need you to get out of my sight you embarrassment, just leave. Waking up to your face just annoys me so much, the least you can do is spare me some more of it", Lucien said as he proceeded to dress up.

The words cut through Rebekah's heart like a sharp knife coated with silver. She was trying so hard to breathe but she was just exhausted and hurt and just everything.

"I'm sorry I-, please", Rebekah said tiredly. Lucien knew what she was asking for and why she was asking for it, he knew but he just could not. He thought having an Omega mate will be like having any type of werewolf despite the status as a mate but this Omega, Rebekah just came into his life to make it worse and difficult for him, she was not what he expected at all. 

"I just need you to give me some time, we can try again please, let's just keep trying", Rebekah added to her pleading.

"You like a corpse in bed Rebekah, nothing amuses me anymore with you, 'cause when I look at you, I see no future, I see no heir, do you call yourself a woman?? A woman that's unable to produce an heir for her mate, her Alpha??", He questioned her angrily.

"A-Alph-", Rebekah tried to speak but he stopped up.

Lucien growled calmly but dangerously making her shut her mouth quickly, "If you knew you could not give me an heir, why did you not tell me from the beginning, why did you become my mate? Your a disgrace Rebekah. Years have passed and we have been trying, I tried so much to understand you but I don't even know what's wrong with you. Just get out of my sight and make sure this room is sparkling by the time I'm back. At least we know you are good at doing something".

Rebekah let out a breath and sighed sadly. Maybe this was the way the Moon Goddess was punishing her for cheating her way into a happy life that doesn't even seem all that happy anymore. She walked out of the room and closed the door slowly. She rested on the door and closed her eyes, trying to relax her brain and herself as much as she could. 

She was so tired! Stressed both physically and emotionally!

"And what do you think you are doing, standing there like someone that has no work to do?", She heard her mother-in-law bark out at her as she climbed up the stairs.

Rebekah immediately straightened up and bowed with respect, "Good morning Ma".

"I asked you a question. What do you think you are doing there? Are your work going to be done by themselves?", Charlotte Russo, Lucien's mother questioned her, "Or would you like me to help you do your work, young lady!".

Rebekah shook her head.

"Use your words", Charlotte commanded.

"No Ma, I was, umm I only took a little break and I was coming to do them", Rebekah answered softly, her heart raising a bit.

Another problem in her life, she had enough problems since she found out about her wolf form and wish they would stop but more problems kept coming. When Lucien's mother, Charlotte, found out she did not get pregnant at the first mating and breeding, they all supported her and encouraged her and Lucien that with time she will be carrying pups. But time flew by so fast and quick and she was still without pups and all hope was lost. That was when all the support she had faltered. Even her biological parents were disappointed, most especially her Father.

"You know you are just a very lucky girl. I don't know how you did it and brought your cursed life into the Russo's home. No woman or lady in this family has not been able to give birth to a child but you came along and now you want to drag our name into the mud", Charlotte walked up to Rebekah elegantly as she spoke, grabbing Rebekah's chin painfully with one hand. Rebekah dared not to retaliate, she could not even stand a chance.

"Before you will be able to drag our name into the mud because you have decided not to be a woman but instead to be a disgrace. I will drag yours first and it won't be pleasant", Charlotte snarled, putting more pressure on where she held Rebekah. Rebekah was sure it would leave a little mark.

Charlotte finally let go of her, releasing her chin as she pushed her away, making her land on the floor with a loud thud, "Get to work!".
