Chapter 2

• ~Avery~
• I looked at my reflection in the mirror to make sure that my clothes covered each and every one of my bruises, if I could do my own makeup, I would have used foundation to hide them, I did not know why I bothered so much, it was not as if anyone actually cared to notice, I was basically invisible at school and I liked it, it was my escape from this hell that I call a pack, if I had the guts to get into trouble so I would be stuck in detention, I would do it but Liam would make sure to whip me because of the time I wasted at school.
• I walked to my bed and grabbed my bag pack when Emily got into my room without knocking, as usual, she had a frown on her face.
• ‘’Good Morning, Emily.’’ I greeted her.
• ‘’What exactly is good about the morning, huh? The Alpha wants to see you, I don’t know what kind of trouble that you have gotten yourself into but it better not cost me my job or else, you would be a dead meat and nobody would notice.’’ She threatened me with a straight face.
• I did not know whom to be scared of, my father hardly requested for me except it was something bad as Emily claimed but I have not done anything, I went straight to my room after what happened last night except Liam has poisoned his mind against me again.
• ‘’Why are you still standing there like you have seen a ghost? Move, you always have to be slow, gosh.’’ She said in an irritated tone.
• I nodded and left my room with her trailing behind me, fear enveloped me as I descended the stairs, I had to calm myself down when I did not see Liam pacing up and down in the living room like he used to whenever he wanted to punish me.
• He had the same confused look like Emily.
• ‘’Good Morning, Father.’’ I greeted him.
• My greeting made Liam to shoot a deadly glare at me, ‘’How many times will I tell you to address him as Alpha, not father.’’
• I was quick to apologize with a shaky voice, ‘’I am sorry.’’
• ‘’Let her be, it does not matter, I am still her father, I never disowned her.’’ He finally spoke.
• I was beyond surprised at his reply, what could have happened to him, this morning?
• He seemed to have woken up at the right side of the bed or my mother must have warned him in his dream to start treating me better.
• ‘’But she has to still accord respect before she forgets her place in this pack.’’ He argued.
• My dad squinted his eyes at his son as a warning, ‘’I said, drop it.’’
• He knew better to shut it.
• ‘’Drop your bag, you will not be going there today.’’ He ordered.
• If I was bold enough, I would have protested.
• Just when I thought that he was about to be a responsible nice father, he chose to disappoint me, he really wanted me to ditch school so I could work all day, I am sure that Emily and Liam would be happy, the fact that I was given the privilege to go to school.
• I gently dropped my bag on the chair beside me.
• ‘’Emily.’’ He called her name.
• ‘’Yes, sir.’’
• ‘’Go upstairs with some other servants and pack her bags.’’ He ordered them.
• Uncontrollable tears instantly escaped my eyes and rolled down my cheeks.
• Even though, my vision was nearly blinded by my tears, I could see the evil smirk on Liam’s face.
• I heard him mutter under his breath, ‘’Finally, he is kicking her out.’’
• I fell to my knees and chose to beg him, I had no where to go if he was going to kick me out, I would barely survive a day out there without food or shelter, I did not even have a mate to save me from this trouble.
• If only my mother’s spirit could disturb him so he could stop this madness, how could he treat his daughter like this.
• I have never enjoyed a father-daughter relationship, not once as I grew up.
• ‘’Please, Alpha. Don’t do this to me, I don’t have anywhere to go, please, don’t kick your only daughter out on the cold streets, I would die.’’ I pleaded.
• ‘’How exactly is that our problem?! If you die, it would be a plus to all of us, you get to be with mum, that is if she will accept you after cutting her life short with your birth.’’ Liam replied me, bitterly.
• I decided to ignore him because if I replied him, it might infuriate the Alpha.
• ‘’Please, she won’t be happy with this, give me another chance, I promise that I will be more hardworking, I won’t even sleep, please, I will do anything that you would want.’’ I begged.
• ‘’There is no point begging because you are leaving.’’ Liam pointed out.
• They brought my two boxes downstairs and I kept begging.
• ‘’Stand up.’’ He ordered and I did.
• ‘’Stop crying, I am not planning to kick you out, you are still my blood even though, I am ashamed of your weakness that is why I have chosen to send you away.’’ He added.
• His statement made me to release a breath that I did not know I have been holding.
• ‘’Where are you sending her to, dad?’’ Liam asked out of curiosity.
• ‘’To somewhere that would help her grow stronger and be able to shift.’’ He announced.
• The smirk on Liam’s face had already washed away and it was replaced with a frown.
• ‘’What?! Father, she does not need that, we need her here to work for us.’’ Liam stated.
• ‘’There are a lot of servants in this pack, her absence would not stop services from being rendered.’’ He replied him.
• ‘’But..’’
• He cut him short right there, ‘’No buts. I have made up my mind and there is nothing that anybody would do to change it.’’
• It was funny how few minutes ago, my brother wanted me gone but now, he has changed his mind all because he did not want me to progress.
• ‘’I have spoken to the owner of Mason Academy and she has been accepted.’’
• ‘’Isn’t that the school, the Lycan king owes?’’ Liam inquired, just to be sure.
• ‘’Yes, it is.’’ He replied, shortly.
• ‘’Father, you are going to spend such money on her, she is not worth it.’’ Liam protested.
• ‘’Listen to me, young man. It is my money and I decide whom to spend it on, it is the right place for her as long as it will make her stronger, that is all I want, consider it as an investment.’’
• I was tempted to hug him but I was not sure if he would like it, tears were still dripping but this time, they were tears of joy.
• ‘’I can’t believe this.’’ Liam asserted but he dared not to walk out on the Alpha.
• Anxiety replaced the fear that I had earlier as I thought about how the students at the school would treat me.
• ‘’Mind you, there are not only wolves there, it is an academy for supernaturals including Vampires, Witches, Wizards, Dragons, Mermaids and the rest. So, take this opportunity seriously, if I hear any bad report about you, I will withdraw immediately and make sure that you work thrice as you did here, am I understood?’’
• ‘’Yes sir, thank you sir, I promise I won’t fail you.’’ I gave him my words.
• ‘’Good, your things are ready, although, all the rooms have been taken because of late admission, I made sure that you got the best room but you would have to be paired with someone.’’ He replied me.
• ‘’Please, don’t mind my asking, sir but who?’’ I questioned.
• He hesitated before replying, ‘’His son, Alexander.’’
• Everybody’s eyes widened when they heard that, I was shocked to stupor that I had to share a room with the Lycan’s son.
• Dear, goddess, please, save me.
