Alone! Despised and Rejected. That is how I saw myself. That Is how they all saw me. I was the pack reject, or, the fancy word, an omega. The lowest of ranks among the wolves and the most worthless.
"You should have just died with your parents, freak!" Mia repeated, kicking me while I was down.
"I don't get why you're still here. Your parents were traitors!'' Mike added.
"You don't belong here." Jennifer said. "You're not one of us, you're a pathetic excuse of a werewolf.''
"You're weaker than a human. You disgust me!''
And the insults were hauled, one after another. I'm not sure for how long they kicked my stomach, or how many times I was punched after they encouraged me to get back up. The truth is, after you're beaten while down, then you learn a lesson. You get used to staying down. To take a beating.
"Alright, come on guys.'' Mistress Maggy called out, approaching from a distance. "That's enough.'' She said, pulling Jennifer, her daughter, away. She stood next to the others, who watched me intently. Mistress Maggy, a short dark haired 45 year old woman with a pot belly, was incharge of all the omegas. The truth is that she hated us, but I was at the top of her list.
"Elara...'' She let out, staring down at me. "When are you ever going to learn that this is not your place?''
