1 Chapter 1 - Victoria's POV

Life is shit. There's no other way to describe it. Especially when you have my life. A life full of betrayal and heartbreak. Let me begin by saying that I am Victoria and I'm 18. I live in a pack full of horrible wolves. Yep werewolves are real along with vampires, witches, fairies and other mythical creatures. I have the joy of living in one of the worse packs ever. I live in one of the smallest packs in England because the Alpha is an asshole. He doesn't really care about training and only lets the strong in the pack. However, I'm not strong. I'm not even a wolf or anything like that. I am a normal human being. If you're wondering how I got here, I was sold. My parents had some debts so I was sold to the pack to be a slave basically. The pack is horrible to me. I have scars all over my back from their claws and my arms are covered in bruises and small cuts. My hair is long but I haven't cut it in two years because I was sold shortly after my sixteenth birthday. My parents never really liked me anyway. They only had me in case they got in financial trouble. I was just a way to get more money in other words. They never really showed me any love anyways so I wasn't really upset when they sold me. Stupid me thought I was getting a better deal with the werewolves. Anyway my blue eyes are dull from lack of sleep and being worked hard every day. Plus the physical and mental abuse. I hate it here but I can't run away. I don't know where anything is or anyone. For all I know I could talk to someone who would lead me right back to the pack. I didn't have any money so that wouldn't work either. I sighed and laid back on my blanket. Yep, I sleep on the floor with a pillow and thin blanket. I hate it here so much. There is a silver lining here. I just have to find it. I'm laying down even though it's half nine. In half an hour I need to go downstairs to clean up the plates and serve pudding. We have vampires over tonight. They are the biggest clan in England and also known to be the most ruthless. The Alpha want's to make a deal with them for protection. There is talk about an upcoming war between witches and wolves. The vampires have a peace treaty with the witches and protection from the vamps means the witches would leave us alone. I'm in all the meetings because I need to do the refreshments. This means I hear everything. I wonder what the vamps are going to say about the deal? I mean I don't know what we have to offer except the pack members. Vampires don't really eat so the things we grow/ I grow won't be useful to them.

I waited 20 minutes before going downstairs to start serving pudding. Its just fairy cakes, scones, biscuits and brownies. Nothing really fancy because I didn't have a lot of time. The Alpha doesn't care about what the vamps say as long as he is happy. I took away the dirty plates and replaced them with smaller plates and put the selection on the table. I moved quickly so that the Alpha didn't wouldn't complain. I went to the kitchen to start washing the plates. Then the Alpha came storming over to me. With one slap I was on the floor. He started to whisper in my ear how ugly and stupid I was. He then took a dirty plate and broke it on the side. He said that I was lazy and that these should have been done by now. He dropped the rest of the plate on the floor and told me to clean up the mess. Well, looks like the meeting wasn't going well. I sighed and started to pick up the broken plate. "How dare you question me whilst your in my territory!" Shouted the Alpha. Great looks like this is going to be the least of my problems tonight. I went to pick up a piece of the plate and cut my hand. Great, just great. I didn't have time to find the plasters and sort it out, so I carried on doing the plates and cleaning up. I could hear more shouting coming from the dining room and more plates being smashed. I sighed and waited for my name to be shouted. Two seconds later I heard the Alpha shouting my name. I went in with the brush and a bag to start cleaning up the mess. I looked at the head vampire for a second. He was beautiful. Dark brown almost black hair and amazing green eyes. Even sitting down you could see he was at least 6 foot 6. His lips looked so good and although his skin was pale, it still looked amazing. I turned away before he saw me looking and tidied up the smashed plates and glasses. I put the bag straight outside in the bin and walked back to the kitchen. When I got there, the leader of the vampires was waiting for me. "Why is your face bruised little one?" He asked me in a sexy voice whilst touching my face where the Alpha hit me. "She was being disrespectful to me." The Alpha said and moved me away from the vampire leader. I looked down and didn't say anything. The vampire leader didn't look happy. "Go to your room and wait for everyone to leave before you clean up." The Alpha said to me. I didn't say anything and went to my room, in the basement. I found the first aid kit and disinfected my hand and put a bandage over it. I looked at my face in the mirror and I had a nice bruise on my face. By the looks of it, it would disappear in about a week. I heard someone walking down the stairs and saw one of the vampires that was at the meeting. I think he was the second in command. "Hey, I found her!" He shouted up the stairs and the leader was in front of me in a second. He walked over to me and I instantly bowed my head. "Now, now, little one, there's no need for that. You can look at me." He said in that amazing voice. I felt his fingers lift my face up and he looked at me in my eyes. He looked around the room and saw what I slept on. "Is this really your room?" He asked. I slowly nodded my head. I heard him growl and he pulled me too his chest. Why did he care about me? We had only just met. We don't even know each other's names. "Do you have anything special here that you want to keep?" He asked me. I shock my head and he picked me up. He carried me bridal style to a limo where he climbed in still holding me. He wouldn't let me see anything when we came out of the house. I could hear the screams though. We didn't have many woman only about five, but only because they are sluts. We don't have any children around and everyone is horrible. The leader didn't say anything to me except to sleep which I did. I slept in his arms for god knows how long. And for once it was nice and I was comfy.
