The Rejected Beauty

*** Beaula's Pov*** Darkness is all I see, loneliness and coldness are what I feel as the caskets of both my parents are being lowered into the ground. How am I going to live? I'm all alone in this world. Who is going to hug me when I'm down and when the world is up against me? Who is going to sing me a lullaby when I can't sleep or have a bad dream? I feel like screaming at this very moment, my happiness has been taken away from me. How can the moon goddess be so cruel? Why is death so cruel to a good and happy family? Death has destroyed my life and family. I so very much wish I could crash death and tear it apart. Overtake it and save my parents from it. "Beaula ", I turned as my inner thoughts were interrupted by my Alpha King. "Your parents' funeral is over, we need to go," he said with a sad smile. I then realized that we were alone. The pack members have already left for their various homes or the pack house. We started our journey to the pack grounds as the event that led to my parents' death played on my mind. Flashback I woke up in the morning to my parents singing " happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you ." I smiled at them, this has always been how my birthday started for years now and I love all the attention I get, for being the only daughter. "Happy birthday baby" my mom sat on my bed and kissed my cheeks and forehead. I stretched my hand and took my gift from my dad. He chuckled " Eager, are we?? I see you will never change, happy birthday my treasure " he whispered. "Thank you dad" I whispered back and kissed his cheeks. My dad has always been my confidant and personal person. I can boldly say I'm a daddy's girl. " Hurry down for breakfast. I prepared your favorite" my mom uttered, and walked out of the room with my dad. "Okay", I called back behind them. I quickly unwrap the gift and squirrel in excitement as I picked up the latest hot sportswear which was neatly folded into a gift box. I have wanted this for some time now, but my possessive dad won't allow me to get one. He doesn't want a boy ogling at his treasure, so I'm surprised he got this for me. I am sure my mother must have intervened. I rushed to my bathroom, did my normal morning routine, and ran down to the kitchen for breakfast. My mommy was busy setting the table and my dad was busy reading the newspaper while sipping his warm black coffee when I entered. I went to my mom, wrapping my arms around her. " Thank you mom for the gift " My dad laughed " Is it that obvious? " he muttered. "Yes, Dad, I know you will never get me a sports bra" I replied in sarcasm, giving him a point look. " Yes, for good reasons, I don't want boys ogling at my treasure " he resorted as always. "Tim, let her live her life like a normal teen with a normal dad" my mom intervened. "I'm hurt love, am I not a normal regular dad?" he asked with his hand on his chest faking pain. "No dad you're too possessive and won't allow me to have a boyfriend" I mumbled and pouted my lips. "Wait, are you two ganging up on me", his eyes widened, making him look like a teenage boy who had been bullied. We laughed at him and went back to eating our breakfast. Immediately after eating, the Alpha king's mind linked the whole pack that we were under attack and, since my parents were the royal Beta male and female, they had to go and defend the pack against intruders and rogues. A few hours later, I heard a light knock on our door thinking it was my parents. I ran to the door and opened it but only to see the Alpha king Damon silver at the door. He came into the sitting area and sat down. I followed his action, he gave me a sad smile and informed me that my beloved parents were no more. End of Flashback "Beaula, I have something important to discuss with you in my office" he interrupted my thought again, bringing me back to reality. "Okay, Alpha," I replied softly, since I knew I had no choice. When we entered the castle, I could hear the members of my pack talking about me, some giving me a pitiful look, a sad smile, and a look of disgust. I know I look horrible and my hair is a mess, but who cares? My parents just died without saying goodbye. We walked further and took the elevator to his office floor. Immediately we entered, he offered me a seat and stated: " Beaula, I know you just lost your parents, but I need you to vacate the house the pack gave to your parents by evening. And since they are no more, I have to appoint my royal gamma, Jonathan Stevens, as beta. He will move in with his family by tomorrow morning. " At once, I had thought block. I was at a loss. My parents had just died and he wanted to replace them and throw me out of the only place I call home. Even though I knew it was part of the rules of the pack, I was still surprised that my father's best friend was behaving like that. He was inconsiderate. " Okay, Alpha, and please where will I live" I replied and asked. At the same, even though I was scared of his answer. He answered after a while, "Since you're no longer the beta's daughter, you will work in the kitchen as an omega." My eyes widened, and my mouth was wide open. It seemed I was not hearing him clearly..... "Me!! Beaula Luna Mackenzie ", a beta's daughter now an omega? I started laughing as I allowed my tears to flow. Nothing can be done since I have no living relatives, I just have to accept my fate and pray to the moon goddess for a miracle...
