Chapter 2

Natasha POV

"You bitch!" Alyssa screamed and I looked at her to see that I had spat water on her dress.

"How dare you ruin my dress after the birthday present I gave you?!" She hollered and suddenly grabbed the plate of food.

Before I could react, she threw the food in my face and poured the water on my body. I screamed in pain as the Wolfsbane in the food and water burnt my face and my skin.

"Such a bitch!" Alyssa sneered before walking out of the room.

"Nadia! Nadia!" I heard Alyssa's voice echo everywhere as she walked away.

I burst into tears immediately and I looked at my red skin.

I stood up from the bed and saw that it was also wet and covered with spaghetti.

Tears fell from my eyes and trickled down my face. They've always ruined all of my birthdays, making each one worse than the former.

I looked up as Nadia walked into the room. She looked surprised to see the mess in the room, but she also looked sorry for me.

She was the only maid in the house who treated me well, but she didn't dare show it when my father or Alyssa was around.

She walked into the room and looked at the messy situation was in before looking back at me.

"There are some leftovers in the lower cupboard at the left corner of the kitchen," Nadia said and I nodded.

I walked past her so I could get the food, but she stopped me.

"You need to change your dress and gather your strength. There is a general pack fighting contest taking place this evening and your father signed you up," She stated in what almost sounded as a whisper. She didn't want to risk anyone hearing her especially with everyone one having enhanced wolf hearing.

I nodded and walked out of the room. I walked cautiously through the house, trying my best to avoid anywhere my dad or Alyssa could be.

My cloth was a mess, but I was hungry and I needed something to eat. I walked into the kitchen and the maids in the kitchen all looked at me disdainfully.

I looked at the cupboard Nadia was talking about and was heading towards it when a maid intentionally bumped into me and push me aside.

In my weak state, I lost balance and nearly fell, but I grabbed the smooth kitchen counter to maintain balance.

Just as I thought I was balanced already, a maid who was chopping vegetables, brought down the knife in my direction.

I quickly took my hand away and I groaned as I ended up loosing balance and falling to the floor on my butt.

They all burst into laughter immediately and Marissa kicked my leg aside as she walked past me.

I felt my ego crushed as always and I stood up on my feet with the little energy in me. I walked to the cupboard and opened it, pulling out the plate of leftover spaghetti and half eaten meatballs.

I stayed where I was and I took a fork among the dishes. I dig the fork into the food and quickly began to eat the food like my life depended on it.

Actually, my life depended on it.

I finally put the last piece of the food in my mouth and I dropped the plate in the sink.

"Natasha!" I heard my father's voice boom through the building and I felt my heart skip.

"Natasha!" He shouted again and this time, he sounded like he was close by and on his way here.

My heart skipped as he appeared in the doorway of the kitchen with his eyes full of anger and glaring daggers at me.

What have I done again?

He walked into the kitchen with his eyes filled with anger. Everyone in the kitchen immediately became silent and they stopped what they were doing.

He glared at me with a piercing gaze and a disgusted look.

"What are you wearing?!" He asked at the top of his voice, looking at my dress that was soaked and had been stained by Alyssa.

"I...I'm..." I stuttered in fear, not knowing what to say to him.

"The general pack contest is holding soon and you're participating!" He yelled and I flinched in fear, remembering that Nadia had told me this.

How could I even fight in this state I am in!!

"You're not going to disgrace this family by coming late!" He shouted in anger, pointing furiously at the floor.

"I wasn't informed," I said and immediately, he swung his hand at me and hit me in the face with the back of his palm.

I yelped in pain and almost slipped on the smooth marble floor, but I held on to the sink behind me.

"Never talk back at me!" He yelled at me and suddenly grabbed my hand roughly.

I groaned as he dragged me across the kitchen carelessly. He stopped as we got out of the kitchen and he let go of me with force, causing me to the fall to the floor on my butt.

The sudden force caused a painful vibration up my spine and I winced.

"Get dressed now and meet me at the downstairs in two minutes or I'll make today miserable for you!" He threatened, breathing loudly and stomping away.

When was my day never miserable!
