Chapter 22

Young Malia's POV

I was out in the woods, curled up against a tree trying to block the harsh wind from my body. Alpha told me he had important guest coming to visit and told me to clean, cook and be out of his sight before he came back. I wasn't done in time. Dinner was taking longer than expected and Alpha came home from his 'delivery pick up' before I finished setting the table.

"I told you to do one thing!" He slammed the door shut. "One thing and you pathetic, weak, dumbass is not capable of doing anything! I don't know why I even keep you around anymore!"

I squeezed my eyes shut and tears ran down my face as his words rang in my ears, the pain from his beating still radiates all over my body. I could still hear the glass shatter as he threw a beer bottle at my head. Pieces of glass were still embedded in my skin.
