Alex stone's P.O.V
Growing up life hasn't been always fair to us, I and asher took the alpha's position it wasn't given to us, we took it when we were just mere 16year olds when we had gathered enough courage to challenge our excuse of a father. I remember all too well for my own good.
The way father would overwork the pack members, the pack was getting weak, then father would abuse mother in every way he possibly can, but there was nothing we could do about it except protect our little sis Ashley, we didn't want Ashley growing up into this kind of environment, he had torture us and anybody who made any little mistake.
Our pack was the weakest back then, and hardly had any warriors to defend us from rogue attacks if it were to happen. Whenever alphas from another pack would visit he would always put on a façade making the other alphas believe he was a good alpha, mate, and father. Even the elders believed it as he made it as realistic as possible.
Suddenly things started getting worse as rogue attacks became a regular thing leaving two or more members injured or dead.
Pack members started getting scared but couldn't voice it out as they feared what our father would do to them, children started getting sick because of malnutrition, now this got the elders attention but they didn't do anything much other than send supplies for proper food for the pack as it seems we were going into farming.
We thought we could find help by visiting the elders and other neighboring packs, I and asher explained the whole situation to them hoping they could help us out, we included all that has been happening in the pack but none of them believed a thing we said instead they all bluntly rejected our cry for help.
All except our uncle who's also an alpha, he didn't reject us because he wasn't available then but I'm sure if we had met him he would have surely helped us as he was the only one who could see through our fathers façade, he's like a father to us even though we still had our father with us. we always sent Ashley over if we wanted to go just for escape but father wouldn't allow it.
I remember the joy in the eyes of the pack members on the day we defeated our father and took his position, I also remember the fear in their eyes thinking we were going to be like our father but we wouldn't be, and we couldn't just let our mother die by his hands or let the pack members die from rogue attacks that were a constant threat to them.
we had to do something and so we did it, we freed them from his cunning ways, and his selfish ways as alpha, and the torture made us the alphas we are today.
FLASHBACK:
Third person p.o.v:
Back in the cellar right after the basement of the packhouse stood Raphael and his twin sons who were kneeling with the little strength they had after Raphael had beaten them both with the whip in his hand.
Raphael looked at his children with disgust and so much hatred, to him these boys were a disgrace, and punishing them like this is the only way to make them into the kind of alphas he wants even though he doesn't want them to be alphas but anybody in their right mind could see it was pure torture and not training or punishment.
Raphael look at the boys and said" You filths are no children of mine, you're a disgrace along with that mother of yours" he said those words with pure hatred and so much venom.
Raphael's mate had rejected him and he married Alex and asher's mother as her mate had died before they could even get to know each other better, later onwards Raphel and the boy's mother met and fell in love at least their mother thought he loved her.
Raphael found out the boy's mother's real mate had died and thought she used him as a rebound without knowing her love for him was pure and true so he took it out on his twin sons Alex and asher.
Raphel spoke again "You boys will never be alpha or anyone, you're just as worthless as that whore you call mother" with that said Raphel stabbed both boys by the sides and poured wolfbane in their cuts making the boys scream and cry in agony he left them there to deal with his wife Cassandra.
A year later both boys had had enough of it when their pack was attacked and their mother was almost killed by rogues so they challenge their father to a fight.
The whole pack was anticipating who will win they thought that their father would win cause these boys were just mere teenage boys so when their father's lifeless body fell to the ground everybody was shell shocked and happy at the same time their new alphas had come.
END OF FLASHBACK.
Third person p.o.v:
It's eight in the evening and the house was bustling with noise as people ..well the omegas were busy putting up the finishing touch for chole's birthday party, Nicole walked in with a bowl of freshly made snacks ignoring the saddened and lonely feeling she felt inside as she put down the bowl on the table she turned around making her way to the kitchen when people started arriving at the party shooting nasty glares at her.
She was already used to it so she hung her head low as they were making nasty remarks and faces and that was when Anisa came taking her away from the site of those who were mocking her.
She quickly took her to a blind corner of the kitchen and gave her a bag containing a really pretty dress, Nicole looked inside and wanted to reject it but Anisa shook her head vigorously almost causing her to feel dizzy, Anisa also gave her a key to her bathroom, as the head of omegas daughter she does have some privileges, Nicole took the key and smiled in thanks as she went to Anisa's bathroom.
Soon the party was in full swing, Chole came down in a pretty white lace knee length open back dress, stopping at the stairs the whole crowd yelled happy birthday to her making her smile happily. Nicole came down afterward in a pretty pink high neck knee length dress, her hair was let down, she looked umm pretty but not the type to catch the crowd's attention. Nicole saw Anisa and Derrick beckoning her to come over, she walked over to them.
Getting there she saw smiles on their faces are they also going to wish Chole happy birthday too just like the rest, I thought they liked me or maybe their happy they don't have to work too long today
'No, No, No Nic you're simply thinking too, Remember they are like your friend and they dislike Chole, right? Nope what if they don't really consider me as a friend but a peasant'
'But if that's the case then, why have they been nice to you'
"Hi, Happy Birthday Nicole" Derrick said with a smile, and a faint blush could be seen on his cheek as he interrupted her train of thought. As he gave her a hug he could feel her bones, he hated them for abusing and treating her like trash but there wasn't much he could do after all he was also an omega.
"Happy Birthday, Nic" Anisa said as she looked at her with bright eyes full of joy.
"Today's the day Nic, you going to find him and you'll finally be free from this damn pack," Anisa said as she held Nicole's hands in hers, she looked at Nicole, 'even though the rest of these losers hated her and didn't wish her a happy birthday that doesn't mean she will die or something, Anyway she'll find her mate soon and she'll finally be able to be happy again' These were all Anisa's thought as she looked at Nicole, she saw Chole from where she was and couldn't help but *sigh.
In comparison, in the eyes of the pack members, Chole is Alpha's girlfriend, She's the Beta's daughter and might be Luna, She's strong, possessive, sweet, and kind-hearted. While Nicole on the other hand is a killer, an omega that doesn't even deserve the title omega, a weakling, a good-for-nothing, an ex-beta's daughter with no value, public punching bag, someone that was hated by all including the Alpha and his family.
Chole was with both her parents and Damien's, Damien was sitting on a couch when an intoxicating scent that was vanilla and honey entered his nostril giving him a refreshing feeling, he shook his head wanting to get rid of the refreshing feeling.
Seeing as Chole was busy and not looking in his direction, Damien stood and walked towards Nicole, he saw and heard Derrick wish her Happy birthday, he saw him hug her and it made him feel really uncomfortable, but then he heard what Anisa said to her. 'Free huh let's see how you'll leave' that's what he thought.
"You, come" That was all Damien said as he dragged Nicole away into a bling corner in the hallway leaving a dumbfounded Anisa and an angry Derrick behind. Damien couldn't stand her sweet scent that filled his nostril, his wolf wanted to be with her but still hated her in a way, he was anxious while Nicole looked nervous, although she doesn't have her wolf yet doesn't mean she couldn't feel the sparks on the place Damien held her.
As soon as they reach the blind corner, he quickly let go of her hand with a disgusted expression, the way, and manner he reacted as if, if he touched or doesn't let her go he'll be contaminated with so sort of rare disease with no cure, his reaction extinguished any sort of hope that was rising within Nicole, Although he was Chole boyfriend and might be her mate, the fact that she Nicole felt the spark from Damien was another story entirely but he crushed her.

Somewhere during the party, Lucia and Chole's other friends gathered around her and were casually talking until someone said something that made the air freeze.
"Chole, I don't mean to be rude or sound offensive but I just saw Damien holding..no dragging that sl*t Nicole upstairs with a complicated expression, it looked as if he was struggling to make a decision it was as if she was his mate, you should hold your man tight who knows what she might do or what might happen next, "The girl said, she was chole's best friend, Mckenzie, Although she doesn't like Nicole that doesn't mean she likes Chole either after all Chole was the cause of that incident and stole the Guy she liked after telling Chole. They were mere fairweather friends now.
"Shut up! What do you mean as if she was his mate? Obviously, she's not, It's definitely Chole here"A girl said furiously, she was Chole's lackey, she felt Chole deserve every good thing in the world and is perfect so she should have the perfect man Damien.
"Yeah that's right, But chole you she be careful and hold Damien tight"Another one of Chole's best friend Anatasia.
"I trust Damien and I'm sure we're mates, as for Nicole she knows where she stands and what's best for her. so girls it's alright:" Chole said with a smirk, as for the other girls they were jealous as for Lucia, she was busy thinking of how to get Damien.
'She thinks she's smart right? B*tch ! Let's see how long she'll survive. If Damien was truly her mate then .... No I'm sure he'll be choosing me, after all, I'm his girlfriend and his parents approve of me and if I have a mate then ...no, no, no it still has to be Damien if it isn't him then I'll reject mine just for him'.These were what was going on in Chole's mind.

You don't deserve to be my luna you worthless wolfless piece of trash" Damien said to Nicole, eyes filled with disgust. He turned around about to leave but was stopped by the small voice which was a little bit above a whisper.
"It's fine, I Nicole Avaline Jacobs accept your rejection Alpha Damien Christopher Ross of Brightmoon pack."She said making him freeze on spot, he did not expect that he really didn't think the soft bullied naive looking girl will accept it because he knew how long she waited for her mate as well.
