Alpha's Vengeance

Riley

Riley’s POV:

I woke up that morning with a heavy heart, I got up and caught my reflection in the mirror. I hurried past and then took a few steps back again. My head was laying on my chest and I slowly brought it up. I looked at my slightly overweight body and moved up, I then saw the freckles on my arms and chest, and to my big breasts and I felt ashamed. I moved up to my neck and then stopped at my eyes, which was probably my only redeeming quality. I looked down and my big lips and huge mouth, or that’s what it felt like. My eyes quickly moved to my bright red, curly hair and I automatically pulled on a curl. A shiver ran down my spine and I looked out of my window ‘Looks like another cold day’. I didn’t know why I did that, talking to a wolf, I never got, but talking to one always made me feel like I had one. Like I was at least part of the pack.

I heard a knock at the door and went to open it. My sister the current Luna of the pack stood in front of me, with her perfect looks and body. “Good morning little sister, how is the wolf less one”

She never failed to remind me that I never got my wolf, which made me feel even more isolated, surrounded by all these perfect wolves. Our pack consisted of wolves and humans that were mated to wolves, but I didn’t fit in with the humans either, because I wasn’t human, I was something in between.

“I have a surprise for you little sister”

I looked up at her, I knew her surprises were never good “Just get on with it, Astrid”

She laughed and went to take a seat on my bed “Today is your wedding day”

I felt the blood drain from my face “What, no, I don’t want to get married, please Astrid!”

She stood up and walked to the door “Sorry sis, it has to be done, and you’re the only one who’s mate less”

As she walked out, three omegas stepped into the room, their hands piled with dresses and make up, Astrid stopped and turned around “Please for Goddess’s sake, just make all those disgusting freckles on her nose disappear”

I felt a tear sting my eyes, I should be used to her little barbs by now, but they still hurt. I turned around quickly as she left and looked at the omega’s, they all gave me a sympathetic look and then continued with sorting through the dresses and shoes.

One of the omega’s approached me “Why don’t you go take a shower and wash your hair, while we sort through this”

I nodded my head, grabbed my stuff, and left the room to go to the showers. As I walked past the dining room, I could hear everyone talking of the marriage, they stared at me as I passed and snickered behind their hands. This made me afraid, who the f**k was I marrying? I always thought that I would one day leave here and try to start a life outside of the pack, or maybe I would find my  mate and we would leave together, guess that is another dream that won’t come true.

I reached the showers and got into the closest one, I just wanted to feel the water run over me, clear all these thoughts running through my mind.

I started washing myself and my hair and when I was finished. I got out and dressed in the robe I brought with me, I walked back slowly dreading the day which lay before me.

I heard the Omega’s talk as I approached “I don’t know what we are going to do with all that red hair, nothing goes with it” I heard them giggle and then quickly stop, that must have smelled me. I walked in without saying a word. The one Omega cleared her throat

“Please sit down here”

She placed me in front of a mirror and then turned my chair so that I could look at her. “The Luna doesn’t really have the same colouring as you, and she gave us her old make up, but I will try my best”

30 minutes later she turned towards the mirror, I looked like I had been crying for hours. She had chosen a pale pink for my eyes, which just seemed to make my eyes look red rimmed, the eyeliner and mascara were okay, but the cat eye didn’t really suit me. She then carried the pink over to my lips and cheeks, which really did nothing for me. The Omega bit her bottom lip “I’m sorry this is all the Luna gave us”

I stared at myself, I looked horrible. “Just leave the dresses, I’ll do my own hair and makeup, thank you”

As soon as they left, I removed the cursed make up, if this guy wanted to marry me, he would have to see me as I truly am.

I applied some base and just mascara, I then took lip gloss and just put that on my lips. I left my hair loose, I just pinned one side, so that my hair was covering one shoulder ‘This will have to do’

I then turned to the dresses, all of them were cream and lacey. I hated all of them, but they were going to have to do.

I took the one closest to me, it was short and came to mid-thigh, the dress must have also belonged to my sister because it was extremely tight on me, which emphasised my boobs and ass even more. I put the cream high heal shoes on and stared in the mirror.

‘This will have to do’

There was another knock on my door and then my sister came walking in, she immediately started laughing “Oh my Goddess, you look ridiculous”

“I thought they would be able to do something with you, but I guess not” she kept laughing, her husband the Alpha Cullum McClure then appeared behind her. I saw his nostrils flair, but I quickly looked away, he scared me, he always has.

“Bring her, we have to do this now before he wakes up”

My head swung round “What do you mean be wakes up”

The Alpha’s head dropped as he looked at my chest “You’ll soon find out. Now come along quickly”
