Sophia’s POV
Why could he not just leave me alone, it's not like I was doing anything wrong, all I was doing was just washing the dishes, now my head was pounding and bleeding everywhere, there was no way the pack doctor could see me without the Alpha finding out, which would make me get a public beating. This was when I wish my parents were still alive. Running back to the orphanage, I knew that the ladies there would help me and hopefully I would have enough time to get changed before school, usually no one noticed me unless Angus pointed me out and did something to me in front of all the other kids, which lately had been once a week. He was the reason I was bleeding now, because he threw a plate at the back of my head, just because I was there in his presence. It seemed these days it was getting worse, and I was finding it harder not to fight back. Why couldn’t I fight back? This place was my own personal hell and I must have really pissed someone off to get here.
Angus’s POV
There was the little slave, well she wasn’t so little anymore. She had grown recently and wasn’t as skinny as she used to be. f**k, why was I even noticing that. f**k, she was going to pay for that. If I didn’t beat her, dad would beat me and mum, I couldn’t see him touch her one more time, so slave girl here had to cop it. Honestly, I don’t know why dad had a problem with her, because she never did anything to him, well not that I was aware of and anyone that tried to help her would get the s**t beaten out of them. Why did she have to be in the kitchen now?
“You better hurt her.” Dad says in my head.
“If you don’t I will hurt your mother.” He says to me again.
Not saying a word, I walk into the kitchen and grab the first thing that I could find, which was a plate, and I throw it at the back of her head as hard as I can.
“f**k you, little slave girl.” I say to her. She had fallen to the ground from the impact of the plate, so I walk over to her and kick her in the ribs as well. Hearing a crack, my wolf growls at me. What the f**k was his problem? Lifting my leg again, I go to kick her again, then Jedrick lets out a deafening growl in my head. It made me stop. All he was doing was giving me a feeling of anger at touching her. What the f**k was his problem? He usually enjoyed me doing s**t to her. His wolf was like my dad’s. But when I find my mate, I would never do to her what my dad does to mum. Her head is bleeding badly. Maybe I had gone too far this time. I actually felt bad. Leaning down to help her up, shock spreads across her face. She gets herself up and takes off running. Adeline walks in and sees a smashed plate and blood on the ground. She looks like she would kill me, so I just leave.
Jarrod’s POV
I didn’t have enough time to check on her and my heart broke more. Something was going to have to be done. I walk into the kitchen, and there were broken plates on the ground and blood that Adeline was cleaning up, panicking I look her over to make sure she hadn’t been hurt. She must have felt the panic in the bond.
“Jarrod I am ok. It was poor Sophia, that bastard of a child Angus. I think threw a plate at her and she must have been bleeding. She wasn’t here when I came in and as soon as he seen, the little bastard took off.” She explains to me.
“Honey, what have I told you? If you get caught saying that, you will be in the cells for a week.” I say to her to remind her.
“If it meant they left her alone for a week, I would do it.” She says to me and I could tell she was close to tears. Our daughter Kyra was only a few years younger than Sophia, and the Alpha had his eyes on her already. He had plans to mate her with his son, so that he could get the best heir for Alpha. There was no way he would ever get to touch her. He would be dead at my own hands before that little bastard even touched her. Giving her a quick hug, I grab the Alpha his food. All I wanted to do was spit in it, but I know he would make me eat some first to show that there was nothing wrong with it. While I was on the way to the office, I mind link one carer at the orphanage that Sophia had been hurt and hopefully was on her way there.
“Thank you beta, I will take care of it as best as I can. I was hoping today was going to be a good day for her.” She says to me. Cutting off the mind link just before I get to the office, out walks the Alpha’s new w***e. She has a smug look on her face, as she walks past me she turns her nose up, like she is better than me. Barin was close to the surface. I struggled to get him under control before we walked into the office.
“Bout f*****g time Jarrod, what the f**k took so long?” he says to me, so it was going to be one of those days.
“It took a little longer in the kitchen Cyrus, seems someone threw a plate at the back of Sophia’s head and there was blood all over the floor.” I say to him, knowing this would make him happy.
“Good little b***h deserves it, looks like she will get a harder beating tonight for not cleaning up her mess.” He says so matter-of-factly. That was it. Barin came to the surface.
“IF YOU TOUCH HER TONIGHT, I WILL KILL YOU.” He screams at the Alpha, s**t this would not be good. Cyrus actually looks scared. He doesn’t like to mess with Barin when he is like this, because he has nearly ripped his throat out a few times. He knew we were stronger. Barin growls at him. Cyrus nods his head.
Alpha Cyrus’s POV
After finishing with my new w***e, she left the office. I knew she would pass Jarrod, but I didn’t give a s**t. What the f**k had taken him so long, anyway. He walks into the office and tells me why he was late. Angus had done his job and hurt her, so he and his mum were safe tonight, but not her. She was going to get a hard beating this time.
“Good little b***h deserves it, looks like she will get a harder beating tonight for not cleaning up her mess.” I say to him, like it was a fact.
“IF YOU TOUCH HER TONIGHT, I WILL KILL YOU.” Barin had surfaced, Jarrod must have lost control, f**k this wasn’t good, he scared me, last time he did this, the only thing that stopped him from ripping from throat out was his wife. He could see the fear on my face I knew he could. Fine, I wouldn’t touch her tonight, but f**k she would get it tomorrow, so I just nod my head yes. Honestly, I didn’t feel like dying today.
