Maybe not human

Dinner

Stella’s

P.O.V

Laundry done and dusted, now I have to do the cooking for the alpha’s. If I am to ever leave this place one day I’d like to become a chef, cooking puts me in a better mood and to be quite frank I love how people react to my food.

I want to head out into the human world get myself a degree in cooking and open up a restaurant.

Guess I have to work my butt off first before I come out there, but a girl can dream right? Maybe even find myself a nice guy, hopefully one that loves to cook as much as I do.

“Stella alpha John made you a list of food for you to prepare for tonight’s menu, I stuck it to the refrigerator”

“Thank you Nini”

I reached for the list and to start on the starter which is creamy mushroom soup with garlic bread.

“So I heard that one of the alpha’s that are visiting found his mate here in our pack”

“Who?”

“Becky the omega that helps in the crèche”

“Well that’s great news Janine I hope he treats her good tho”

“She seemed ecstatic, our alpha doesn’t seem to pleased tho”

“I’m happy for her, at least now she will be happy and out of this place.”

Rebecca is the sweetest girl one could ever find in a dorky kind of way and she’s beautiful. Light brown hair that reaches her shoulders, pink little plump lips, rosy cheeks that doesn’t even need blush, she’s short with a nice figure and beautiful brown eyes.

She’s a real softie, she got in trouble with the Luna once for mixing color washing with white clothes and I took the fall for it.

Luna Brit beat me with a whip that day, I later found out that she hit Becky too. She had found out that it was indeed Becky that mixed up the laundry.

“Oh he can piss off, is it because she found a alpha mate and his daughter still doesn’t have a mate yet?”

“Speaking of his daughter she came running down the stairs crying, i over heard her telling her dad that Alpha Rio disrespected her”

Janine said

“That girl should sign up for acting classes she’ll make a damn fortune and besides what the blady hell does she know what respect or disrespect is? By the way I never heard of an Alpha Rio yet is he a new Alpha?”

“Oh no Stella his only the most hottest, richest, strongest and f*****g sexiest Alpha ever and I hear he still hasn’t found his mate yet”

“Listening to gossip again and You are always so over dramatic Janine”

“It’s not gossip Stella! And I’m serious that man is s*x on legs if I could have just one night with him I’d die a happy wolf”

Sex on legs that got me laughing so hard I snorted, Janine can exaggerate over the top some times or most times.

“Whatever you say Nini, whatever you say”

I said to her with a smirk on my face

“Stella Alpha John would like to know how long until you serve the starter?” Another omega Jez asked me

Jez came here five years ago seeking refuge after his pack was killed by their alpha. I’m sure if he knew how pack members are being treated here he would have walk right pass this pack.

His a kind guy always willing to help with anything though Janine seems to think Jez has an interest in men rather then woman.

He would stare longingly at certain men ‘good looking ones’ to be sure and when the mention of a female is brought up he finds a way to steer the conversation to men.

His a handsome fella though I think even Brie had a thing for him once, sandy blonde hair, well built, tall, green eyes and a killer smile.

Jez has a sister Maggie, or had a sister. She used to live in the woman’s dorm with us but one day she got into trouble for getting caught kissing a pack member that wasn’t her mate.

Someone had informed the alpha and that someone being Brie, that Maggie was flirting around with Nate, Brie had a thing for Nate, his a warrior in this pack. He didn’t fall for Brie’s charms and that pissed her off big time.

She saw them sneaking off and followed them that’s when she saw them kissing and ran straight to daddy dearest.

Last thing we heard was that Maggie was taken to the dungeons and beaten we never heard of or seen her again after that, Nate was also taken to the dungeon and got beaten but after a week he was back.

He is one of the best warriors so I guess the alpha didn’t want to loose him. Jez tried to find out what had happened to her but came up empty handed, it devastated him not knowing if his younger sister was alive or not.

If she was alive and out there where was she, and if she died, did they at least bury her or dump her body for the animals to feast on.

We would never know I guess, she was a wonderful soul, pretty to. She looked a lot like Jez, she could have passed off for his twin just the girl version.

“I’m just about done you can go take the soup and garlic rolls out to them”

I said to him

“Tough crowd out there, everyone is so serious, makes me nervous.”

Jez say before he leaves

“What’s next on the menu” Janine asked

“ grilled steak, roasted potatoes and asparagus, so you think Maggie is alive?”

“I don’t know, I heard the warrior that had to dispose of her “body” said that he doesn’t believe she would have made it during the night, apparently the alpha let a few of the guards r**e her then beat her.”

“That’s f****d up, I can’t even fathom what Jez must be going through.”

“Me either, she was a virgin. When they dumped her body in the woods, the warrior said that she was hardly breathing.”

“I hope alpha John rots in hell one day.”

“You and I both.”

I loved working with Janine together we got things done while talking about any and everything, mostly gossip that is a favourite for Janine, she gets all the juicy and gory details.

“You gonna make your famous prawn Alfredo?”

“I’m sure any moment now the alpha will ask, it wasn’t on the list tho”

“Stella?”

Fuck what does he want. He only ever calls me if I’m in trouble!

“Yes Alpha John? Is everything okay?”

“Everything is fine just Add the prawn things to the menu for tonight please”

“Of course Alpha”

I looked over at Janine and she was more shock then I was, the Alpha said please!

Must be my f*****g lucky day thou those words sounded like a foreign language coming from alpha John’s mouth.

“Did he just use the word please? Johny remembers the manner’s his mother taught him? Wow I’m f*****g impressed”

I said more to myself then to Janine but her wolf hearing made it easy for her to hear me mumbling

“He actually looked like it hurt him to say please tho. You think maybe it’s because here are other alpha’s around? And Johny?” She said laughing

“It’s definitely because of our visitors, that man has s**t for manner’s. Unless… you don’t think his dying do you? They say you either get nicer or meaner when you close to death”

“Oh my god (laughing) who told you that Stella?”

Shrugging my shoulders at her

“Not sure who said it but I’m sure someone did”

“You’re something else Stella you know that!”

“Whatever do you mean Janine?”

“No don’t start that s**t just Tell me what to do so I can start with desert, while you finish off the steaks”

“What will I do when you find your mate and leave?”

“Oh Stella, I pray to the moon goddess every day that he is a higher rank so I can take you with me”

“That’s real sweet of you Janine but you and I both know that isn’t allowed”

“I’ll give him a choice then”

“Oh really and that would be what?”

“Just that if he doesn’t want to die of hunger or blue balls. We all know I can’t cook a thing and I’m sure he would wanna wet his bird so it’s a good deal”

“Janine that is no deal, that’s more like threatening”

I said to her laughing

“A good threat tho it’s a win win, he gets a wet birdie, he doesn’t die of hunger and I get my best friend”

Just then the alpha came back into the kitchen looking like he is about to murder someone.

“ you know very well my Brie is allergic to mushrooms yet you added it to the dish”

He whispered yelled at me

“I..I only made what was on the menu and mushrooms are the main ingredient for mushroom soup Alpha”

“Basement now, and you!”

Round two, sweet baby Jesus I hope I come out alive, this alpha guy just loved making me his punching bag.

He said pointing at Janine

“Get this food out to the dining hall”

As soon as the basement door closed my already broken ribs received a blow, this time I couldn’t help but groan at the pain.

A fist to the face sent me to the ground and soon the kicks followed.

The basement is sound proof so any noise I made went unheard to anyone, I lost count of the kicks and stomps I was receiving, I didn’t even feel the pain anymore.

I certainly didn’t expect this to happen especially after alpha John was the one that gave me the menu.

The taste of my own blood filled my mouth, the next kick alpha John delivered knocked the wind out of me and i heaved, blood flowing from my mouth and the last thing I felt before my world went completely black was a kick to the head.
