1 Same Thing, Different Day

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

I rolled over and slapped the alarm clock. 4 o'clock in the morning always came too early. I slipped out of bed and walked across the cold floor to the bathroom. Time for the usual cold shower. I hopped in and started quickly washing my hair and body while rinsing as fast as I could. After my shower I wrapped my self in a towel and tried not to shiver as I looked at my pale face in the mirror. I have dark brown hair that reaches below my shoulders and frames my face. I have large almond shaped green hazel eyes that have dark circles that seem to never fade from lack of sleep. I have a small button nose that slightly tips up and full lips that always look as if I'm wearing lip tint. I have a small frame from not eating enough and I'm 5'4'. Before the rest of my pack started shunning me and using me as a maid, I was healthy and curvy and most of the guys looked my way. But ever since my entire family was murdered by an opposing pack, the Beta of my pack has allowed me to be abused. The Alpha, Thomas Alexander, and his Luna, Sera, both died in the attack, leaving their son, Xavier, an orphan. My father, Samuel, and mother, Amora, were loved by everyone and so were my brothers, Oliver, Levi, and Ray. My father and brothers had blonde hair and blue eyes. My mother had slightly lighter hair than me and green eyes. But I never really fit in. My father never looked me in the eye and hated me. When I was 13 my brother Oliver told me my mom had secretly been with someone else and since my father was so prideful he just acted as if I was his. After they died the Beta kicked my out of my family's home. He told me he had a "better" home for me. It's a decrepit shack in the woods with half a roof and no heat. I've got a bed and electricity but no water heater or kitchen. To pay rent on my shack every morning I have to get up at 4 and go to the pack house to cook breakfast, I get to eat whatever they decide to leave me. Then I have to clean the kitchen, all of the pack house bedrooms (there are 15 bedrooms), and all of the bathrooms as well (18 bathrooms). Around 1 p.m. I make lunch, then continue cleaning (I don't get to eat lunch). At 6 p.m. I make dinner and scarf down whatever is left. Then I do everyone's laundry which takes until about midnight. Once I finish I drag myself home and fall asleep only to repeat it all again when I wake up. Throughout the day I keep my eyes glued to the ground. I'm not allowed to look up. Most of the pack leaves me alone and only speaks to me to tell me what chores they need me to do. But the pack member's my age act as of I have the plague and giggle and laugh at me. They also throw various objects and food at me when they see me. One girl in particular, her name is Lacy Williams, likes to dump her drinks on me or throw things on the floor after I've cleaned. When I bend to try to clean it up without speaking, she kicks me in the back so I faceplant. She also like to kick me in the stomach and punch me and no one ever stops her they just laugh. Unfortunately, she's dating our future Alpha, Xavier. He's never around when she beats me but he knows she abuses me and has never stopped her. When he turns 18 tomorrow he will be able to take his place as Alpha and our Beta will step down. I hope he releases me from the Beta's order to never make eye contact. Otherwise I can't find my mate. My name is Haley Smith and I'm 3 days away from turning 18 and being able to find my mate. If I even have one and he chooses not to reject me.
