Defensive Words

Bella's Pov.

"Happy birthday baby! Oh my god!",I lay sprawled in my bed,trying to hold backmy giggles as mommy gasped and slapped a hand over her mouth.

Amelia and I beamed at the sight of the she-wolf in the doorway ofour bedroom so early in the morning.,"You've gotten bigger! I swear it!" She pointed at me,her mouth wide,her brown eyes evenwider

."I don't even recognise you!",I burst into giggles, proudly wiggling about on the bed

"I did mommy! Look!"your Bella is a big girl now"I showed her,my non-existant muscles, proudly flexing themthe best I could ,I was tiny, scrawny and hadn't grown an inch since my birthday last year,or even the year before that.

But every birthday, mommy made me feel like I had grown mountains.,"Mommy guess what?","What my Bella?"She happily came into my room, lying down on top of me and I giggled some more,wrapping my arms around her neck and pushing my fingers through her fro.

"You gonna get a job now? Buy your mama a nice house?",She brushed her nose up against mine,her hands playing with mycurls."I'm only sevennow! I can't get a job yet!"I gasped. "But I did save up some money mommy I can get you mansion if you really want one!","Oh,my beautiful baby!" she kissed all overmy cheeks and I laughed.

"You look after me,so well."I blushed happily."I do mommy When I'm a big big girl ,I'll buy us a house with another house and you can have ten cars and,

"A dog?!"She laughed. "You want a dog mommy?,Really?"

"Yes Bella! A a fluffy cute puppy! With white fur and pretty eyes!","Okay baby We can get a mommy,"she laughed,teasing me with more kisses to my face.

I beamed up at her.,Mommy's dark skin was so pretty. She had thebiggest brown eyes and when she smiled,she looked like a Queen.But I loved her hair themost! Mommy had a massive afro! It was soft and bouncy and I loved to hide things in there, especially my hands.

I was so happy I looked more like mommy than daddy. My daddy was good looking but,he was never around.My mommy was,beautiful inside and out.

"Hey,"Mommy cooed at me softly, frowning when I turned to look up at her with wateryeyes."What's wrong sweetheart?I don't want,to see tears on your birthday","I had my birthday wish already,"I sniffled,a little worried she'd be mad I didn't wait for my,cake.

"You did? What did you wish for?"She,brushed my curls back off my face and I leaned into her touch.,"I w-wished for a new family",She stiffened her eyes pained.

But she nodded in understanding."Did the moon goddess answer you bella?","No,"I shook my head sadly and Amelia whimpered in sadness too."I told her that daddy is so mean to us.I told her that he's never around.But she didn't listen to,me.","I think she was listening,"Mommy corrected,wiping away my tears."She's very busy you know?There are lots of werewolves who arestruggling in the world. She might have her hands full,"Mommy told me softly.

"O-oh,"I sniffled. "But what if she doesn't help us in time? It's my birthday mommy Daddy is never around on my birthday"Is shivered in tirednes,burying closer to her chest.

She held me tighter in her embrace."The moon goddess will help us when she's ready bella.,For now,we just have to be strong.I'm happy,with you Bella,Aren't you happy with me?"

"Very happy with you mommy Ilove you somuch,"I sobbed,"Oh,my baby," she gathered me up tightly and i clung to her."I love you too.",We stayed like that for a few minutes.

She,rocked me in her lap,running her hands,through my curls.I almost fell back asleep.

I was told that my body was different,that being an omega would make me different from the other female pups in thepack.

The submissives and the omega we smaller, more fragile and less agile.Ileawhy my father hated me.Because omegas aren't the strong warriors needed to lead that ,pack.They support from below.

At that time,I didn't understand. Mom told me I was special,I was beautiful and I was from the Alpha blood line she told me everything she thought I needed,But I guess I wasn't special.I was a dissapointment,

"Bella?",I looked over at Hunter, ,jerking out of my head,whimpering at just the memory of mom,

,"What?",He sighed,shaking his head as if he was wondering what on earth he was going to do with me.

I sat silently,watching the outside scenery past the slightly open window as a car drove past to God knows where.

Hunter was an alpha king his scent and power was a thousand times more stronger. Amelia was on her back,her tail wagging slowly back and forth in delight at being in the presence of our mate.

She had no problemin submitting to stone willingly with lust,filled eyes.,It made me grunt in annoyance.

She was making this harder for the both of us., 'Bella? Talk to me.",The order was gentle and I turned to scowl at the huge male in frustration.

I didn't want to talk to him.I didn't want to be here with him.,How hard was that to understand?,"You're l-lying to yourself," Amelia chimed inshyly.,"Shut up.", She did as asked,retreating with a sniffle

I refused to feel bad.It was jer fault anyway.,All of this was..

"Bella", Hunter's deep baritone made me shiver. It wasboth soothing and awakening.The conflicting feelings of warmth and lust and annoyance,warred within me.

"What?! I don't want to talk to you,"I snapped out the defensive words in frustration,looking out the window again.

Hunter let out a scoff then a small chuckle.

I swallowed hard,feeling nervous at the sound. Amelia was panicking.We were in trouble,I knew that.

I figdeted with his shirt,continuing to stare out the window,even though Amelia was urging me to turn and bare my neck at my mate to,beg for forgiveness because of myrudeness.
