Useless

Frankie 

-Are you not ready yet?! - He screamed and kicked me in my stomach again. I was lying on the kitchen's floor with a mighty pain in my stomach and lower back. This bastard kicked me against the counter! I tried to gather all my strength and stand up from the ground. I was dizzy and boiled with rage. I hated this man. He was my adoptive father , yeah I know I'm a very lucky girl right? There is more! He is a 5.11ft tall and 264.5 lb hairy , disgusting werewolf. I managed to get up and stared in his soulless grey eyes, ever since I know my mind he only saw me as a personal kicking bag and he got money for giving a roof to my head and food, sometimes.  I did not directly use the term raise. He slapped my face but I kept motionless, I got used to his slaps already, they gave me strength to survive and  will to pay him back once all this years of suffering with interest.

- Carl! Is she loosen again?! - Oh the other one, Carl's beloved Mate Beth. The world t had not yet carried on its back such a abominable couple like these two. Beth is a little smaller than Carl, she has a lovely appearance with her blonde hair, heart-shaped face and cute blue eyes, but don't get mistaken for her look. She was an evil stepmother like Cinderella had in the fairy tale except that she made me starve and locked me in constantly. She walked to us and stood next to her husband.

- Yes but I think she understood the lesson. Hurry up you little slut!- He screamed to my face, a few drops of his saliva landed on my cheek, I wipe it of with disgust with the sleeve of my hoodie. They went back to the living room to watch Tv. I got back to the dinner and stole a few bites of it while I prepared. I had to stole food almost everyday because one of their favorite punishment was starving me and I needed strength. "Just three more years Frankie and you are free." I thought, freedom, many people in my school ,who lives their life as they want and the complain about the few responsibilities they have have no f*****g idea how lucky they are. When I was younger I always dreamed of a loving family, and a couple of friends or to find my parents. Until I turned 10 ,when Carl told me during a fight where he got angry for the salty food, that they got lots of money from my mother to keep me away from her. "She wasn't strong enough to kill you! " he laughed. So in the last five years I've found a new dream, and that was freedom. At least I had Clyde, he was my boyfriend for two years now, he wasn't as bad as Carl and Beth so I loved him. Although I knew he cheated on me many times I stayed with him. He said that nobody else will love me  with my looks and reputation so I believed him. I believed his lies when he promised he will change. I'm still waiting for that day.  I got back from my thoughts and put the plates on the table.

- Dinner is ready! - I shouted to the direction of the living room and sat down the floor. They didn't leave me to sit with them at the table. Beth came in and kicked my plate out of my hands.She growled at me.

- Get the hell out of the house, no dinner for you tonight and you are sleeping on the porch! - I got up and started to walk out of the kitchen when Carl grabbed me from the hood of my hoodie and threw me back to the floor.

- Clean this mess up before and get out of my sight as fast as you could or we will have a chit chat in the basement. .They laughed at me while I cleaned up the rests of my dinner from the floor. Carl told to  Beth how great cook she is and she accepted the compliment, at that moment I was glad she didn't let me eat because I would've throw it up by now. After I cleaned the kitchen I went out of the house and lied down on the bench. I looked at the starry sky and fell asleep dreaming of the day when I can get out from this living hell and finally be free. 

Damien

- That's only what you got!? - I asked my friend Tom while we were practicing combat fighting. He was 18 years older than I but I always kicked his ass.

-  Be careful son with having such a big mouth because one day he can get you surprised! - My mother screamed from the outside of the ring. I grinned at her with confidence. She basically raised Tom, her emerald green eyes gleamed proudly. Tom got up from the ground covered with dust ant trying to catch his breath.

- I had enough, I quit for today! - He said and leaned down on his knees and panted. - My mother gave him a wet towel and he thanked her with a big smile on his face.

- Thanks Luna! 

- Just call me Ariel but I've already told you this almost everyday since you were thirteen!- She grinned and pat Tom's arm. I was looking at my mother, she was the smallest person in our pack house. She was 43 years old but she looked like 30 , her hair was brown at its roots and from there till its end it fade from dark blue to light blue. Her body was covered with mermaid scale tattoos here and there. She was always wearing a silver necklace with a heart shaped pendant on it. I inherited her ability of being resistant to silver. My father came out of the house and walked to her. My father is the Alpha of the Full moon pack , he is two heads taller than my mother and in his black hair there were a few grey ones already. He just turned 46 but still he was our pack's strongest and best Alpha. He lost his parents a few years ago and since the death of grandpa Anthony and grandma Anne, he and my mother had a lot of extra duties. She jumped in his neck and they shared a kiss. After the kiss they pushed together their foreheads and just stared in each other's eyes. I've heard all the stories about their stormy relationship. How my father wanted to reject her and how my mother left him just to protect our pack. My mother was born as a human  but she saved my father from a silver bullet and when she got blood transfusion from my father the Moon Goddess gifted her with a wolf. She glanced at me and said still in my father's arms.

- I think you should teach him a lesson dear! - My father grinned at her and than walked to me and jumped in the ring.

- Show me what you got son! Don't hold yourself back! - I grinned at him.

- I never do. - We both shifted, my father's wolf was black and his clear blue eyes, which I inherited from him by the way, shined out of his dark fur. My mom's wolf was similar to his, the only exception was that her wolf's eyes were emerald green and her tail faded from black to white. We were practicing with my parents since I first shifted at the age of eight. A week later we lost my sister Aurora, she was my best friend and I'm not over her loss yet, we are still searching for her because according to my mother she isn't dead but my father lost fate to find her, she disappeared from this exact place five years ago. We were playing and a rouge with yellow eyes attacked us , I shifted to wolf to protect her ,Aurora was only five years old then but I fail. The rouge took her away and I ran after her howling for my parents they came as soon as they heard my howl but we lost the rouges track. Her loss devastated our pack, she was a very special and cute girl. Everybody called her Princess Aurora, she had brown hair like our mother and one of her eyes was clear blue the other emerald green. When she was born my mother gave her the necklace she got from her parents before she became an orphan. I felt guilt because if I was stronger or faster I would've protect or find her. Since that day I'm practicing hours of fighting ,I ran miles and miles before I go to sleep and I decided to find her and get revenge for her. 

My father jumped on me and pushed down my neck to the ground. My mom were cheering from outside of the ring.

- Come on Damien! You can do it. - My father smirked at her and she giggled. 

- Sorry love! - I heard my father telling her in mind-link that its not a problem she will get hers tonight. I always adored their love to be honest. It was so pure and so true, I hoped that one day if I find my mate we will be just like them. My godfather and his mate came out to watch our practice. Eric my father's Beta and my godfather was married to Alice a werewolf-vampire hybrid. The were always teased each other like two crazy teenagers. Eric was tall and with blonde hair and Alice was a little taller than my petit mother , she has long wavy chestnut brown hair and cheerful brown eyes. They leaned next to my mother and joined her watching my father beat my ass. We continued our practicing and a little later Mathew  my father's left hand and  Kata his mate joined my godparents and mother. Mathew was 48 years old, he had got short brown hair and brown eyes, he also grown a beard that his mate didn't like and she was constantly trying to get rid of it. Kata had long red hair and grey eyes she , my mother and Alice were friends for many years now and they met their mates on my parents wedding. Kata is a very hyper woman she is always talking, giggling an doing something. Alice and Eric had a son Adam, he is going to be my Beta one day and he is two years older than I. He has got Eric's green eyes and Alice's wavy brown hair, he was just as immature as his parents if not even more, but he is also very intelligent and loyal. Kata and Mathew had a daughter Fanny , she has got brown eyes and her mother's red hair and tan skin she is quiet but very intuitive and kind. When we were kids Adam and Fanny were always kidding about being mates and tadam when they turned fifteen they fell in love. Now they are officially mates. When we finished practicing I went to have a shower and rest a little while I was resting on my bed my thoughts wandered what would my mate look like... I was like my father in this kind of topic I didn't want to have a mate yet but I learnt from his mistake and if I'll find her I'll never let her go....
