7: THE EVIL TWINS

In a state of turmoil, Jessica fled from the alpha's office. She didn't care if she looked a mess, with blood staining her face. She needed to find Cory and tell him he had to admit to his parents that she was his mate and that he wished to be with her.

Before she made it to the corridor that would take her to her mate's room, the two younger girls with red hair and brown eyes intercepted her.

One caught her by her hand and the other grabbed her by the hair.

"Look, sister. It's the slave girl," Margarita laughed. Her red hair was curly like that Disney princess, Merida. Her brown eyes were dark with specks of green in them.

"I see that, sis. What is the little omega doing running around our house like this? She knows better than to be seen in this part of the building," Margret pulled harder on Jessica's hair, causing her to wince. "Oh, she's got a busted lip, and a bloodied nose," she noted as she bent back Jessica's head so she could look on her face. Margret's red hair was straightened and down past her waist. Her eyes were the same colour as her sister's.

"I wonder who made her this pretty?" Margarita grinned, sinking her nails into her arm. "Isn't she pretty with all this blood dripping from her face?"

"She's really pretty," Margret agreed, pulling on her hair harder. Jessica's scalp burned, and she couldn't stop the tears from leaking out her eyes and down her face, and washing some dried blood from off it.

"Please, just please leave me be," the poor omega begged. Her hands went up to try to pry Margret's hands from her hair.

"Pleaseee, just please leave me be," Margarita mocked her. The twins erupted in laughter. "Pathetic. You're seventeen and still haven't gotten your wolf," she released Jessica's wrist, which now had a purple bruise on it.

"It's pitiful that she thinks her feeble hands can remove my hands from her hair," Margret shrieked. "Maybe she's not a werewolf. Perhaps her mother fucked a human, and she got her weakness from her real dad."

"You know sister, you could be right," Margarita giggled. "Mother said her omega mother was a whore."

"You leave my mother's name alone. She was a good woman and so was my father," Jessica hissed.

Margarita clutched Jessica by the throat and squeezed it. "Are you talking back to us? Though we may be younger, we are the alpha's daughters and therefore your superiors. You will respect us."

"Yeah omega. Know your place," Margret snarled. Their wolves were on the surface.

"You two are evil," Jessica choked out. Margarita's fingers were too tight around her neck. "A-all of you are evil," she coughed. "Only Cory is worthy."

"What did you say, bitch?" Margarita slammed her head in the wall, breaking Jessica's nose. Margret's grip on her hair loosened and some of Jessica's brown locks came out in her hands. "You'll watch how you talk to us, you mutt."

"Sis, do you smell that?" Margret asked. They detected the smell of the blood that was seeping from underneath her. They knew her monthly cycle came on the 10th of the month, and now it was the 25th. "She smells like sex."

"Did the little virgin finally get her cherry popped?" Margarita asked.

"I bet she let the horses and the pigs from the stables fuck her," Margret kicked Jessica, who was now sitting on the floor.

"Good one," Margarita high-fived her sister.

Jessica held her aching arm and folded her lips. She hated them.

"Wait. I know that scent. She smells like Cory," Margret gasped.

"You little slut. You think you can fuck your way to the top? Understand that Cory will never be with you. He's promised to another," Margarita gave her another kick.

"Yes and Chrissy is a worthy future Luna. I think she and Cory make a handsome couple," Margret laughed.

"You're lying," Jessica snapped. "Cory loves me," Jessica hissed as her hand circled her tummy. She felt the bruises forming, plus she could tell she now had a cracked rib.

"Don't take our word for it. His engagement will be announced at the ball," Margarita said.

"Come on, sis. Let's prepare for the ball. Alphas and other elite wolves from across the land will visit to check if we are their potential mates," Margret declared.

The evil twins decided to let Jessica go.

"You need to leave this house before our mother sees you," Margarita added.

"Yes, omega!" Margret spat. "Go back to the barn where you belong."

The twins intertwined arms as they walked away, leaving Jessica beaten and in pain on the floor.
