Prologue - Third Person

Athena's father was one of the most trusted warriors when he was still alive which was one of the only reasons she got to stay in the Silver Blood Pack.

The pack has decided for her future with the pack for her. She will be banished when she turns 16. The pack honored their loyal warrior but having a human in their pack was not a good image to the outside.

Nicholas watched as Athena disappeared into the bathroom. He, Colton (the future beta) and Joseph (The future gamma) followed Nicholas into the bathroom.

When they got inside the bathroom, Athena was standing agaisnt the sink. Her clothes were soaked from the rain outside since she didn't have an umbrella.

Nicholas didn't feel bad for her, not one bit. He hoped Athena would suffer even more and end her life when the suffering got to her.

"Look at what we've got here" Colton said, walking over to her. Athena stayed quiet, not daring to mutter a word. 'She was in fear. Good.' Nicholas loved seeing her in pain or fear.

Colton grabbed her face, forcing her to look at Nicholas. "What are we going to do, Alpha?" Colton, himself had ideas on what to do but he knew better- he knew how much his Alpha would enjoy hurting the little human.

"What do you think we should do, mutt?" Nicholas asked sarcastically, walking over to Athena§. He slapped her hard, leaving a red print of his hand on her cheek.

"P-Please" Athena begged. She hadn't had enough time to recover from her last beating. She was already used to this but usually they would wait a little longer so her wounds would  have enough time to heal.

"Pathetic. You should feel lucky you're even getting to stay here. Taking a few beatings is the price you have to pay" Nicholas said, punching her stomach.

Athena stayed quiet again, knowing nothing she says will be listened to. She had been suffering in silence for a very long time, alone. She didn't have anyone anymore, family, friends, no one.

She had been planning her escape for some time now. She wanted to wait until she was banished, at the age of 16 and then she would go far away from here.

She had a few locations in mind, such as France, United Kingdom or Sweden. Those were her top 3.

Nicholas spit on Athena, seeing the state she was in. She was on the floor, clutching her stomach in pain. She was on the verge of passing out, but Colton had other plans for her. He poured ice cold water on Athena, making her eyes jerk open due to the coldness.

Her clothes barely kept her warm. They were already wet from the pouring rain outside that she was in a few minutes ago,

"Passing out is the easy way, remember? You don't get that" Nicholas said in disgust.

"Fucking die" he said again and poured another bucket of ice cold water on her.

Nicholas was about to deliver another kick when the ball rang, saving Athena from the continuous abuse. It wasn't bullying anymore, at this point it was abuse, pure abuse.

"You got lucky this time, bitch. Next time you won't be as lucky" he said before steppping out of the bathroom, going to his class.

Athena was trying to get up, but her shaking legs and the pain all over her body was making it hard for her to do so.

After a few mintes of calming and balancing herself, she was able to stand properly.

She quickly changed into the clothes she had brought with her becasue she knew it'd be raining and she didn't have an umbrella.

She put the wet clothes in a plastic bag and went to her locker to put the bag inside.

Listening to the teacher talk with a killer headache was hard, impossible even. It was like wanting to rest but there's an annoying voice that stops you from doing so.

Plus the cold water had done its job of making her cold. The clothes she was wearing was nowhere near good enough but it was what she had.
