The Alphas And The Orphan

Monday 3rd January

Star’s POV

I am woken with a start as I am yanked from my bed by my hair, “Get the f**k up, you lazy b***h! mum said you have to make us breakfast before school, they are waiting so move your lazy a*s.”

My cousin Sebastian kicks me hard in the ribs, before leaving my room, when I say room, I mean a draughty attic. f**k, it’s cold. Snow has come through my shitty broken window, leaking water under the plastic bag I taped to the frame.

Ok, let’s pause a minute and let me introduce myself; cough, cough.

My name is Star Anderson, and I am 17 years, 11 months, 2weeks and 2 days old, (my birthday is in 12 days, in case you can’t do the math),

I am a werewolf. My other half is called Saffron, Saffy for short, and she is AMAZING. She woke up on my 13th birthday, and I love her more than anyone else.

I have lived with my aunt Clementine, uncle Graham and the lovely Sebastian since my parents died when I was ten, and they are ASSHOLES.

We live in our beautiful pack, which is called Ravens Perch. I love my pack. Apart from a small percentage of assholes (my family is at the top of that list), it is a great place to live. Our forest home is nestled in a valley in the tranquil Devon countryside, about an hour from Exeter in England. Its got to be one of the best places to live.

And ACTION!! let my shitty day continue…….

I quickly get dressed and run down to the kitchen, grab ingredients for breakfast, and cook up a storm.

I serve the food and as I am about to eat the small amount of food; they allow me; I hear my aunt’s slurry voice. “What the f**k do you think you are doing? You are stealing food now? Who the f**k said you could eat here?” f**k, here it comes. She was so drunk she could barely stand.

My head swung to the side as my uncle’s fist connected with my jaw, b***d flying from my mouth, the force of the impact sent my plate flying, smashing on the ground. “Stupid b***h, look at the mess you have made, clean it up and get out, or I’ll give you another one.”

After cleaning up, I run to my room, and cleaned the b***d from my face. I can already see the bruise on my jaw turning purple.

Grabbing my books, my coat and boots I rush to the bus. I am so late; if I miss the bus. It’s an hour’s walk to school.

Sebastian got a car for his birthday, so at least I didn’t have to deal with him and his nasty friends on the bus anymore. I hear a nasally voice in the back, f**k my life, I see Charlotte Prince and her band of sluts sitting at the back of the bus. I forgot she got stopped by the human police for speeding and drink driving over the Christmas holidays.

Her b***h brigade consists of the lovely Charlotte, Sandie Buggins and Billy Strokes (yes, that is her real name, and from what I hear from the football team, her name suits her and she is very good at it). This is turning into a great first day back.

I take my seat at the front of the bus, next to Matty Davis. He is the chess champ of the school. Yes I admit it, I AM A BIG FAT NERD!!! I sit quietly and mind my own business, but the bitches can’t stop themselves.

“OMG, what is that smell? It smells like unwashed, dirty p***y. When I am Luna, I will make sure trash like that knows their place.” The rest of the b***h brigade laugh, “Smells more like poor and unwanted to me.”

Welcome to the arena Sandy, anything from Billy today? She normally just sniggers because she is stupid and doesn’t have an individual thought in her head.

Matty and the other students at the front of the bus look uncomfortable, and I know Matty wants to say something, but the three witches are the current girlfriends of our future alphas. Yes, I said Alphas, three of them to be exact.

Three identical god like creatures, all tall and brooding and sexy, mmmyummy, sorry about that, back to the triplet Alphas, in order of birth, the first in our list of the hottest studs at The Raven Academy, we have the beautiful Ace, then come the gorgeous Alexei, and finally the heart stopping Ashton.

The only children of our beloved Alpha Andrew and Luna Amanda. Yes, they like the letter A (I have already started a list of names for the many children my fantasies tell me I will have with the three hunks).

I have known the triplets my whole life, our mums were best friends. They treat me like an annoying little sister, that needs to be protected. It can get a little annoying, but as we have got older their attention tends to do something to my tummy.

So…. where was I? ….. ah yes, Matty felt guilty about not wanting to get crushed by the Alphas. I wink at Matty, “at least they are leaving the rest of you alone right? I am happy to be of service to the community,” the nerd squad all grin at me, and the bus ride continued.

Once we finally arrive at school, I head straight to my locker. My besties, the wonderful Maxine Durham and the witty, but clever Suzie Hammond, are waiting for me. One look at my face has them both losing their s**t. “What the actual f**k happened to your face, Star?”

“which of the fuckers was it this time?”

I look at my best girls and sigh. “I have 12 days left. Let’s see what magic the two of you can do with my face, and get on with our day, shall we? I am meeting with Alpha Andrew tonight to ask if I can move into the pack house, so let’s drop it.”

Max gives me her signature. “this isn’t over” look, and grabs her make-up bag.

We are just about to head to the bathroom to “fix my face” when I feel my hair scrunchy being pulled from my head, not again,

I turn to try to grab it back, it’s my last damn one, I look up to find myself looking into the sexy steel-grey eyes of Alexei Ravenwood,

he is holding my poor scrunchy just out of reach, as I go to jump for it, like a f*****g puppy jumping for a snack, he pulls back and grabs my face. “What the f**k happened to your face, fairy-girl?”

Goddess, I hate that nickname. It’s because I am only 5’1″ tall, with very small features. He has called me fairy since we were in primary school. “It’s nothing, Lexi. I fell and landed on my face.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

I hear Max grunt behind me. Alexei is still holding both my chin and my poor scrunchy hostage.

Another huge figure comes up behind me, penning me in. I move my eyes to see another pair of sexy grey eyes, Ashton. “You are becoming very clumsy, Starlight, last week you fell and cut your head open, this week it’s your jaw. I am starting to think you are lying to us.”

I sigh as the eldest triplet comes over, f**k my life, we are not really friends, but the triplets have always been protective of me, but since their birthday 2 weeks ago, it had got worse, but so had the beatings at home so they probably notice something is going on.

“What’s going on, Tink? You know you can tell us right.” I push Alexei’s hands from my face and jump for my scrunchy, but Ashton grabs my shoulders so I don’t even get near. Alexei pockets my poor scrunchy, lost forever. “Please, Lexi, it’s my last one.”

Ace pulls at one of my curls, “you can have it back as soon as you tell us the truth, Tink.”

Then the familiar sound of skank ring in my ears, “I thought we would meet at my locker this morning. Why are you wasting time with trash?”

The triplets give me one last stare before Ashton turns me around and pushes me to my friends. “run along starlight and you look better with your hair down.”

He smacks my a*s as I walk away. Wait!!! Did Ashton f*****g Ravenwood just spank me? What the actual f**k is going on?
