1 The Beginning

"You stupid bitch when will you learn" is all I heard before I felt the whip hit my back and I passed out for the 5th time this week...

My name is rosella but everyone calls me rose. I am 17 years old and tomorrow it will be my birthday and I will be finding my mate who hopefully will save me from this wonderful glorious life of a cell. That is right you heard me unlike most 17 year olds who hang out with their friends and have comfy beds I sleep in the basement with torn up clothes only having the running blood keep me warm at night. My father John lost his mate(my mother) a few years back and every since then my life has been one beating after the next. My father lets me out in time to shower and cook breakfast for him and my brother Max who he treats like a god,but I do not say anything because last time I did I was knocked out for 2 weeks.

"Dammit how many times do I have to tell you to cook the damn food longer" my father said before the next thing I knew a plate of eggs and bacon came flying at my head. Having fast reflexes I ducked just in time but that being said it seemed to have pissed him off even more seeing as he is now lunging at me with a knife. I dodge him and run out the door and run all the way to school knowing I was really going to get it for not accepting his first punishment.

I make it to school and run into my bestfriend Taly. Her mom and my mom used to run the patrol borders together for the pack and ever since then she has been stuck with me.

"And how is the most beautiful girl in the world doing" I turn to see It was Chase talys mate. Taly turned 18 about a month ago and was only unmated for about 5 mins because the second Chase drove by he caught her scent and almost crashed his car into a tree.

"Rose your birthday is tomorrow we have to celebrate or do something what ever you like it's on me and I can't take no for an answer." Taly was giving me the puppy dog eyes.

I wanted to go with her I really did but I knew my lovely father was probably going to make it so I couldn't walk the next day so I shrugged.

"It's not that big of a deal people have birthdays all the time" trying to play it off like I haven't had this day marked in my calendar since I was 10. "Not a big deal are you ok?" Taly says as she dramatically is feeling my forehead. " yea because turning 18 and finding the love of your life isn't a big deal."

Just as Taly says that my shoulder is shoved and my books go flying. "Oops, I'm sorry I tried to go around you but your just so large you take up the whole hallway it was kind unavoidable."

here came Veronica the schools top werewolf slut and also the top Rose hater.

Veronica was different than I she was tall and thin very a small perky butt with just as perky tits and she loved to have it out on display. She has medium length hair dark brown eyes to match her dark brown hair and you could rarely every catch her without her vixen red lipstick.

Followed in her little rat pack of the populars we have her sidekick twin sister Lori and three boys behind them my brother Max, Asherwho usually stayed quiet and handed his punches without a word, and the Man himself the great Alpha Cole.

Cole was built like a god he was tall had light shaggy brown hair that always seemed to lay just right,chizzled jawline, and eyes a deep green it was almost as if they were glowing. Of course none of that matter because believe it or not I was not apart of this award winning clique I was the punching bag of it.

"Rose come on I'll help you but let's go we're gonna be late for gym class" Taly said which snapped me out of my daze and bent down to help me pick up my books.

"Hmm try not to fall on your ass while running" Veronica hissed and kicked on eof my books hard, sending it down the hallways before they descended.

I go and change into my gym clothes and take a look at myself, I never loved the way I look but I never minded it either. I was medium height about 5'3 I had long brown wavy hair which usualy was tangled because my father would break my brushes. I had freckles and my eyes were light blue that was intense like seeing a glacier but you couldnt really tell underneath the bruises. I did have some extra flab on the sides of me and a little extra cushion in the front but I never truly minded it. In fact I never even knew how I still had all this weight seeing how my father rarely let me eat a thing unless it was coming out of the garbage but I knew that because I wasnt eating regularly my body was packing it away in case I wouldnt be allowed to eat.

"Hey hurry up slow poke or we're gonna have to run an extra 10 laps" and with that I left for gym.

I finished my classes and slowly headed home seeing as I knew what was waiting me the second I opened the door. After some time I knew I couldnt prolong it anymore and I walked up to what everyone else calls my "home" I call it my grave.

As I opened the door I see my father sitting there with a drink in his hand and a belt in the other. "Oh this fucker has been waiting for me greattttt." I thought.

My brother Max was still at lacrosse practice so it was just me and the monster I called father. He sat there with a belt as I opened the door and before I closed it I instantly felt my back on fire opening the wounds from last night and I knew this was only the beginning.

It was going to be a long night. Moon Goddess help me.
