Chapter 4

last update Last Updated: 2023-07-02 23:02:54

It's been almost two years since the death of the Alpha and I've been made to go through hell. The Alpha's son, Prince Zephyr became the new Alpha and he hates me so much, his hatred for me is so deep that each time he sets eyes on me, the only thing he can think about is hurting me. 

I've become quite used to the abuse and my body is full of scars, most inflicted by him. As I had earlier mentioned, he comes to my cellar every night to beat me up just for the sadistic satisfaction of seeing me in pain. His hatred towards me is understandable, he thinks I murdered his father in cold blood even though the man had taken me as a daughter but the truth that has been hidden for all this while remains that I'm innocent and I'm being punished for practically nothing.

 Alpha Zephyr is quite the playboy type and I'm the one who is always supposed to clean up after him. He had brought Clara to his bedroom, she was just another slut in the pack and they had managed to stain the bed sheets with their sexual activities.

After I had woken up that morning, well I was always the first to wake up so I could quickly start on my chores. I had taken a bath and went to the kitchen and prepared the food that would be enough for everyone. 

I was only allowed to eat after they had all eaten and I was only to eat the leftovers on their plate. If the food turned out to not be up to his expectations, maybe not spicy enough or juicy enough or was too flavourful, mostly if the Alpha just felt like it, I would be made to starve for the whole day even after being made to cook the food. 

After preparing the food, I cleaned the kitchen and left to go do something else, I had to wait till they were all ready so I would serve them the food. I passed by the Alpha's bedroom and noticed that it was empty so I decided to go in to see if anything needed washing or cleaning but Tara, my spirit she-wolf told me not to.

"Don't go in there Evelyn, what exactly are you made of that you forgive so easily? How can you still be so eager to work for someone who hits us at every given opportunity? Have you forgotten the beating he gave us last night? You should know by now that there's virtually nothing we can do that will change his mind about us, even if we went to the end of the world and back for him, he would still come by our cellar later that night to bash us up so let's leave from here now." She warned me but I ignored her. 

It wasn't that I loved doing things for him, I just had the fear that if I didn't, he would hurt me again and one less kick, slap or punch was something to be thankful for. I had gone to his room and was immediately disgusted when my eyes caught sight of the stained sheets.  

I pulled them off and proceeded to add them to the other dirty laundry I would collect from all the other pack members. 

Though the sun was barely up, I went to the lake and washed all of them, even as many as they were. I felt dizzy by the time I was done but I managed to compose myself. I returned with the washed laundry and hung them all on the line to dry. 

I had gone into the packhouse to see that they were already waiting for me at the table. 

I served all of them the food and went to sit on the floor in the corner of the kitchen, just in case they needed anything. They all chatted and even laughed as they ate the food. Even my parents and sister were present but they all ignored me, they had disowned and abandoned me since the former Alpha's death. My parents usually ignored me but Moira constantly abused me and did things to annoy me. 

They finished quickly and left the table for me to clean up. I did that and gathered the leftovers before washing the dishes but I was already bone tired. I would have loved nothing more than to eat a proper meal and rest for the whole day since I had been banned from going to school like the other kids.

But I knew my wish would never be granted as I still had so much work to do around the house. I had planned to clean the Beta's room when I heard the Alpha call my name. 

Due to all the maltreatment, I had grown very scared of him and all it took was just one call from him and I would leave everything I was doing and run to him. 

As I arrived at his room nearly out of breath, the first thing I received was that thunderous slap that had sent me to the floor. 

He held the bedsheets that I had previously washed and hung on the line to dry in his hands and he berated me about washing them. He hadn't told me not to wash them, I knew this was just an excuse so he could hurt me again but I didn't dare to nod no to his question. At that moment, I wished I had listened to Tara but I didn't have much time to brood over the situation as I soon felt the terrible pain as he pulled at my hair, not caring if my body would be able to take any more of the pain. 

All I could do was cry, it was the only thing I could do in the face of the abuse. He yelled at me for being a murderer and threatened me before finally letting go of my hair. 

He cursed at me and left me on the floor in tears. And then I realized he had busted my lip when I tasted my blood. 

I tried to stand up but I couldn't, I fell back again because my body was ready to give up on me, my heart was the only thing that had refused to give up yet.

Considering the starvation, huge workload, and abuse I was subjected to, it is truly a miracle that I'm still alive.

So here I am, trying to convince my body to get up because I have so much more work to do and I couldn't dare slack off unless I desire a multiplication of my punishment. 

"It will be alright Evelyn, it will be all over soon." Tara encouraged me and this was one of the moments that made me happy that I could communicate with her through my mind. 

'How can you be so sure of that? Our heart refuses to give out?' I asked her. "Have you forgotten? Our 18th birthday is only a few days away and on that day, we'll finally find our mate and he'll take us away from this hellish place." She replied and I had to smirk at her answer, even through the pain I felt.

    I began shaking before I knew it, fresh tears gathering at the edge of my eyes."You don't have to worry, it's not too deep. I just have to take you to the Pack house quickly so you can be safe before I deal with this bastard. I won't show him mercy this time for making an attempt on the love of my life." Zephyr assured me and took me in a hug, patting my back soothingly.We detached from the hug and looked to where Ruben was formerly laying, he was nowhere to be found and I could feel my adrenaline rush. "Evelyn!" Zephyr called suddenly, making my heart nearly leap out of my chest. Before I have time to wonder what might be going on, he grabs a hold of my wrist and crashes my body against his in a hug, instantly turning us around and switching our position and barely a few seconds later, I hear a sick sound of metal digging into flesh. I immediately feel nauseous as the vomit quickly rushes up my throat but I manage to hold it back.Still in his tight embrace, I take a look and see

    After returning to my room, only then did I realize how harsh I had been to Zephyr. I had never acted like that towards anyone before but I was so filled with anger and the memories of my past suffering that I went overboard just a little bit. I felt a little guilty but I decided that I wouldn't apologize to him. He deserved everything he got.When I returned to my room, Nevaeh was fast asleep once more and I thanked my mum for her efforts but she asked me about what happened between Zephyr and I and I told her I was feeling too tired to talk. I would be willing to discuss it the next day because I'm tired and a pregnant woman really needs her sleep.She left and I took a bath before going to bed.I woke up early the next day and prepared for the meeting while I left Nevaeh with my mother since Linda was apparently too careless. I wouldn't have to go through any of this if the girl would just do her job right. I only took her with me because she's Emily's cousin.I made my way to the

    Special Chapter: Zephyr's POVEvelyn released a sarcastic laugh before continuing."When did you reject her? You rejected her when you rejected and banished me four years ago because I was probably already pregnant with her but you heartlessly separated me from the only family I had ever known and forced me into the wilderness.My daughter and I would have died if a kind woman hadn't found me, freezing to death in a heavy storm. She took me in and provided me with everything that your petty revenge had stolen away from me, love, care and family. She gave me even more than I had lost and I'll always be grateful to her.When I found out I was pregnant with your child, I was disgusted because I was reminded of how she had been conceived. Your brutality almost made me kill one of the most beautiful things in my life but I managed to stop myself in the nick of time.I didn't want my daughter to be born to a man like you, or have to refer to someone like you as father but the people around

    Special Chapter: Zephyr's POV"How old are you?" I asked her once more. "I'm three years old." She answered and everything was quickly starting to come together. I'm almost sure that Evelyn is her mother but then again, it might just be a coincidence, especially since I've not seen the both of them together. I can't just go around hurling accusations without any evidence, especially since Evelyn is currently a guest here. I have to find out the truth no matter what."Now will you help me find my mummy, Mr?" Nevaeh asked, bringing me back to the present."Of course but I need to find out something first. What is your mother's name?" I asked and she said nothing at first, almost as if she was contemplating whether to tell me or not. She finally answered shortly."I'm sorry but I can't tell you. You're a stranger and my mummy says not to tell her name to strangers." Nevaeh said and her words hit me straight in the heart. My own daughter thinks I'm a stranger and I can't do anything about

    Special Chapter: Author's POVLinda sat and watched Nevaeh as she slept but the young girl soon grew bored and decided to take a short snack break.She checked and made sure that Nevaeh seemed comfortable before quietly leaving the room.Shortly after, the sleeping child turned around on her side, as she attempted to fully go back to sleep, lightning flashed and thunder struck, instantly waking her up with a scare. Nevaeh quickly sat up and looked around, frightened, her vision was a bit blurry due to sleep but she was still aware of her surroundings.She scratched at her eyes a bit and looked around but she found no one. She called out to her mum and Linda but she got no reply and she became very scared.At the sound of another thunderbolt, Nevaeh practically jumped from the bed and began crying. She walked around the room and even went to the bathroom but she still couldn't find anyone. She kept calling out to her mother but all she could hear was the sound of her own voice and the

    I sighed as Linda helped me get ready. I really don't want to go to this party, I don't know why but I have a pretty bad feeling about it. I won't let myself be fooled by him, I'm pretty sure that Zephyr has a motive behind this party but I can't seem to figure out what it is.Even though I don't want to, I have no choice but to go and besides, I want to know what Zephyr has planned for me.She finishes putting my hair in a tight bun and places a tiara on my head."Take it off." I order instantly and she seems stunned for a moment."But why your highness? It suits you perfectly, delicately complimenting your beauty and besides, you're a Princess." She said with a smile and I wanted to play into her innocent mindset but I couldn't. She's ignorant and naive, she has no idea about my past and she certainly doesn't know how much I want to avoid Zephyr and hide the truth of my current life from him."You don't have the right to question me Linda, I said take it off now." I replied harshly
