Given to the Lycan King

Willow

I had been cleaning all day Luna had me scrubbing this place floor to ceiling before the guests arrived, Looking at the clock on the wall it read eleven pm, In just an hour it would be my birthday I would get my wolf and hopefully with her I would be able to run far enough away,

These last few days have been rough, to say the least,

I groan holding my stomach as I stand up grabbing the bucket I had filled with dirty water from where I was scrubbing the floors in all the bathrooms I let go of the handle standing there for a minute hoping the pain would go away, Looking at my now bandage hand and arm the memory play very clear in my mind,

The next day after I had met with the Alpha I was doing my regular chores I was in the kitchen preparing for dinner when Kaitlyn and Ashlyn found me and shall I say it wasn't a nice path-crossing, They had dumped a pot of hot oil on my hand as I was on my hands and knees from where Ashlyn had slapped me across the face so hard it knocked me down, I wasn't as strong as them yes I come from werewolf parents, Like them but Im psychically weaker due to not having the proper foods,

Her reason for hitting me was that she claimed that Milo told her that I was throwing myself at him when she picked up on my scent being on him, I know its a lie he only said it to save his hide and I have been able to avoid her but as fate had it, it wasnt going to last long.

They came looking for me and of course, I would have happened to be alone when they did find me I let out a scream when the hot oil hit my skin burning me but landed me a hard kick to the ribs by Kaitlyn, Gamma Daniels came rushing into the kitchen when he heard me scream, He tried to scold them for it but all Kaitlyn did was go cry to her daddy the Alpha was pissed that the Gamma did that to his daughter and that I probably deserved what they did,

He had to apologize to her and Ashlyn cause Beta Cole threw a fit when He found out his daughter had been yelled at,

As for me not only did I have a burnt arm and hand I had a cracked rib but that didn't mean I got off without punishment from the Alpha and Beta, Ten lashes on the back That didn't hurt as much for I have enough scar tissue and I'm used to the pain of the whipping,

Gamma Daniels managed to sneak me some ointment and bandages for my hand and arm there wasn't much I could do for my back or rib,

Now it was almost my birthday and here I was scrubbing the floors and making sure everything was ready for this party, Mai and Maddy helped me do the cold platers and salads today I just had the hot food to do yet but I couldn't make them to early as I didn't want to heat them back up and risk them not tasting right. I hadn't told anyone about my plans to leave I don't want it getting back to Alpha or any of them I know Mia would never tell she would understand but I know they will punish her if they learn she knew I what I was planning,

Letting out a sight I needed to put all the cleaning stuff away and start to put the decorations up in the hall cause I knew today i would be too busy finishing the food as there was extra added with the Lycan Prince coming,

Getting everything put away I moved to the hall and began to put out everything on the tables had been set up already so I started putting the clothes over setting the plates and silverware and fancy glass cups, there were centerpieces that the Luna wanted I worked table by table, I glanced back at the clock seeing it was two minutes till midnight I felt excited to meet my wolf I wouldn't be alone anymore setting everything down I walked over to the big window looking out it, the sky was clear you could see the stars, Glances over to the sliding glass door that leads outside looking over my shoulder at the room, I should go out if I'm going to shift I dont want to damage anything in the house the Alpha and Luna will definitely kill me if the things for the party get ruined,

Slide the door open I step out taking in a deep breath of fresh air I don't get to go outside much but when I do I love how clean the air smells,

Walking a little away from the house making sure not to go too far as the patrol would find me and I dont want that, They would tell that Alpha they found me out there,

Looking up at the moon it was so bright and full I could feel the light dancing on my face I stood there just looking up for how long I'm not sure but nothing happened i didn't feel any different like Marie told me I would when it was my birthday, There was no burning feeling or tingles not pressure in my head from my wolf appearing not even a voice from her,

I felt a tear slowly and Painfully run down my cheek dropping to sit on the damp dewy grass I placed my hand over my face and cried, What was wrong with me was I not good enough for a wolf, like the others why did I not get one why did she not show what did I do in my life to have this happen, Every question ran through my mind till my head hurt and my eyes burned from crying,

I looked up at the moon again, WHy moon goddess why are you punishing me? What did ever do to you? I cried out feeling so let down and so alone I could not even go back to see Marie, Alpha had stopped letting me visit a month after I was at the pack house and she wasnt allowed to come see me, I was truly alone, and would always be alone with that thought the last of me broke,

Happy Birthday to me.

When I had no more tears to cry I lifted my head wiping my cheeks, Picking myself up and brushing the dirt off me I turned around walked back into the house grabbed the decorations moved back to the table where I stopped,

I worked till it was all finished the whole hall had been decorated when I put what was left over in the box the sky was turning pink as the sun was starting to rise, I should be happy today this is to be the day we all wait for when we get our wolfs and can find our mates not like mine would want me not with how my body looks lined with scars Im not good looking,

Who would want a mate as ugly as I am, nope no one would so this is my life at least for one more day then I'm out of here not that I have anything to look forward to out there,

Shoving the box into the storage room I made my way to the kitchen I should have gone up to my room but I knew Kaitlyn would only come to find me saying I was to cover breakfast so instead of dealing with all of her crap I just went to the kitchen beside once I leave here tomorrow I know I won't make it far and hopefully death will find quickly I can get all the sleep I need then,
