Chapter 1: Another Day In Hell

 (Freya POV)

I looked towards the clock and heaved a sigh of relief while turning off the tap. It was already 11 o’clock, and I still had to finish my assignment. 

“Don’t worry! Soon everything will change for good,” I mumbled under my breath to encourage myself, and dragged my tired body to the basement. My feet were aching with all the work and my body needed a good rest, but unluckily, I didn’t have time for that. I quickly locked the door and opened my bag and started looking towards the notes and books. It didn’t take long before I finished my assignment and put everything on the small wooden table before lying on the small wooden bed. It is the last of November and the night has become more chilly than before. Sadly, I didn’t have a blanket to keep myself warm in winter, so I had to cover myself with this thin satin sheet. I closed my eyes and started thinking about my life. 

My name is Freya and I am 17 years old. I am a member of the Blue Crescent pack. I am living in the basement of the backhouse because I was not like any ordinary member of the pack because my father was mated to a vampire and, as their child; I am a born hybrid. The pack members were not ready to accept a Vampire in their pack. My father was a great warrior, and the Alpha didn’t want to lose a fearless warrior like him, so he accepted my parents but gave them a house a little farther away from the other house. We were all living a happy life and my mother was pregnant with another child. She was having some complications on her labour day. My father was present with her on every step but suddenly, the rogues attacked our pack. He had to go to help the pack in this attack and I was only 7 years old at that time. Everything happened so fast that I didn’t have any time to process everything. My mother died with her unborn child and that day also lost his life in the rogue attack. I was left alone in this whole world. Alpha Andrew made me move to the pack house and their behaviour started to worsen with each passing day. They started treating me like a plague and lower than an omega. I don’t want to live here anymore, but Alpha said that I can only move out after turning 18. 

I started counting days because their hatred was increasing with each passing day. I was unable to understand their reason for hate because My parents did no harm to them and I also never caused any harm, but it was not enough to lessen their hatred towards me. So, I have thought about it thoroughly that I will leave this pack on my 18th birthday. 

“Yeah! I will leave this pack for good,” I said to myself before lulling myself to sleep. *

“Mommy! Please open your eyes. What would I do without you? Mommy!!!” I was staring at the lifeless body of my mom and trying to wake her up but failed to do so. My eyes snapped open, and I was breathing heavily while my forehead was covered in sweat. I have been having this nightmare ever since I saw my mother’s lifeless body. I didn’t know how It felt to have a loving mother in your life while growing up because I didn’t have one. Although I didn’t have a strong bond with my father, he was still there for us to protect and to provide us with everything. I know very well that it is nearly impossible for me to go back to sleep, so I stood up and headed towards the bathroom which was present at the other corner of the basement. I picked up my clothes and headed towards the washroom. I have to prepare breakfast for the whole packed house before heading to school. 

I turned on the tap and splashed some water on my face. The water was freezing cold, so taking a bath was out of options for me. I quickly freshen up before changing my clothes and heading towards the Kitchen. I folded my sleeves and started preparing everything as usual. I prepared pancakes, French toast, salad, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, and an omelet for them. Now, I just have to prepare some bacon sandwiches for Samuel, The soon to be Alpha of this pack. 

He's an arrogant snob and the most proud person in this whole pack because he knows he has the power to do anything because he is the soon-to-be alpha of this pack.  I quickly started placing everything on the table because they didn't want to see my face around them, so Alpha ordered me to place everything before their arrival and hid back in the kitchen until they finished their meals. I am almost used to it but every time it hurts when they do this to me. I mean, I am just like them and didn’t do anything to harm them ever, but they treated me worse than a stray dog and never acknowledged my presence as their pack member. I don’t know how they will react when they find out about my plan because they will lose an efficient worker after all, or should I say, maid? I quickly started eating my pancake and leftovers from dinner. They were not enough to satisfy my hunger, but I rarely got enough food to fill my stomach. I got up and put my plates in the sink. I went out after about fifteen minutes and, true to my expectations, there was no one in the room. I quickly started clearing the table. 

“Need some help, Freya?” My body tensed when I heard Maxwell’s voice. 

“N-no! I will manage, thanks,” I answered, but my hands started shivering. He was my friend of Samuel's and had been trying to get into my pants for the last six months. 

“Come on, Freya! Just give me a chance and I am sure that you will like my services,” He said, with a devilish smirk on his face and a shiver of fear running down my spine. 

“Max! I already told you that I am not interested. I think you should choose someone else,” I answered calmly, but my heart was thudding in fear. 

“Oh, come on! Nobody is going to show an interest in you even in a year or two. Don’t act this high in front of me because we all know that you are nothing more than a worthless omega, so why all this fuss?” He snickered, and I clenched my fists in anger. 

“Mind your language, Max! I am not the one who invited you here. You can go,” I said while piling all the plates and entered in the kitchen. A few omegas entered in the kitchen and I heaved a sigh of relief. I don’t know how I will be able to succeed in pushing him away in the future. Because he is not going to give up. He is such a sick bastard and I have to find a way to get rid of him.
