The Alpha Twin’s Little Mate

The Day of the Ceremony

{Winter’s POV}

I got dinner ready and brought it all out to the alpha table and quickly returned to the kitchen cleaning up the dishes I dirtied making dinner. I finished up, and ran as fast as I could back to my room shutting and locking it. I couldn’t stand this place. “Just one more day! Tomorrow night I’ll be free of this place! I can manage for just one more day!” I reminded myself. I looked at my broken form in the mirror, my eyes black and blue, my nose swollen and bruised, my lip split down the middle, not to mention my ribs. I can’t believe she beat me this bad the day before the ceremony, knowing that I’d have to be one of the cooks and servers tomorrow. I hated that witch, and I couldn’t wait to watch this place burn down after they take over.

I woke up the next morning and quickly washed myself and got dressed in the servers outfit that was laid out for me. It was a short black dress with a white apron, white pantyhose, and black shoes. I was told to wear my hair in a pony tail today. So I quickly got ready, covering up my bruises with the makeup that the Luna brought to me. She said,” It wouldn’t be right for people to see you in this condition.” Ugh, I hate these people, they’re monsters, all of them. I quickly buckled the shoes and made my way to the kitchen, preparing breakfast and going over the lunch and dinner plans with the other servants.

“Some guests have already arrived but most won’t be here until around Lunch time. I need one of you to do a headcount for breakfast, while I begin cooking.” I said pulling out pots and pans.

One of the other pack servants walked out then came back a few moments later with a notepad. “There are 12 people here this morning including the Alpha’s family.” She said shyly.

I began cooking the breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, biscuits, gravy, and toast. I sat out the plates and began loading them down and had the other servers begin taking them out while I finished making the other plates. I sat out orange juice and coffee, with cream and sugar packets on trays and had them run them out to the tables as well. Soon breakfast was over and it was time for us to clean up and prepare for lunch. As I finished cleaning up the dishes I heard chatting in the dining room, no one was supposed to be in there yet. I peeked out and looked around to see the Alpha and Joshua. Whatever they were talking about I wanted no part in. I went back into the kitchen and started cooking the lunch. I was asked to prepare chicken over rice for lunch. I got started around 11:00am and finished around 1:00pm when everyone was settling into their seats for lunch. The other servants took the plates out to our guests along with water.

I began cleaning up in the kitchen when I heard the Alpha begin a toast. “Here’s to my son, who has grown into a very capable young man, may your years as Alpha be as rewarding as mine!” He said cheering his son on.

“A capable young man? Yeah right! Joshua was a monster, he isn’t even capable of wiping his own a**!” I thought I to myself. I sighed and continued washing dishes, I could hear the people in the other room talking about how good my food was. I’ve always had a knack for cooking, but at this point it was more of a chore, especially with how everyone treats me here. Once things settled down in the dinning room I began making dinner, there would be hundreds of people here tonight, I’m making roast beef, with mashed potatoes, steamed carrots, and cornbread. This was one of my favorite meals to make. I was also instructed to make small cakes for everyone in attendance. It took me the rest of the day to finish everything, and by the time it was all cooked and baked I was completely exhausted. The roast beef was delicious, with mashed potatoes, steamed carrots and cornbread, I knew dinner would be a hit. I quickly prepared plates and passed it along to the other servants to take out to the pack guests. Before long I could hear the murmur of satisfied alphas, betas, and some gammas. I was glad that dinner was so good. I made a plate for myself and the other servants and we all began quickly eating. The food was amazing, this being one of my favorite dishes I’ve gotten rather good at making it.

As we finished our food I heard the alpha say, “Alight everyone, time for dessert, the ceremony, then a pack run to welcome a new alpha to our ranks!”

Everyone cheered as we began bringing out the cakes. These cakes were a nightmare to bake, but they turned out beautiful. I quickly ran them out table by table along with the other servers then hurried back into the kitchen. My ribs were killing me after yesterday. I panted for a few moments trying to catch my breath. Just a few more minutes then I would have my wolf! It’s already 11:55pm, at midnight I’ll finally be 18! Then we’ll be out of this he**! I peeked back outside to see everyone eating their cakes, smiling, chatting. I couldn’t wait to do that, have the free time, and not being terrified of a beating that is inevitable. I looked over to the Alpha’s table and saw Joshua staring back at me, he licked his fork in the most disgusting was at me. That wasn’t what I was worried about though. Jessica was sitting right next to him, and if it was possible there would be flames coming off of her head. She was pi****, at me.. again. It’s not my fault her mate is a disgusting a******! I quickly shut the door and prayed to the moon goddess that Jessica wouldn’t come after me but it was too late. The door slammed open and I couldn’t stop the scream that slipped from my mouth. She covered my lips quickly with her disgusting hand and began clawing at me with her jagged nails. I cried, and begged for someone to do something, but it seemed as though this would be my send off present. Another merciless beating, to add to the list of horrible things this pack has done to me.
