The Alpha's Daughter novel Chapter 2

I sat up in bed with a yawn poking at my ribs thankfully being greeted with healed bones.

I'm glad they were able to heal properly before the inevitable injury that they'll eventually receive.

I sighed glancing at the glass that sat beside me on the nightstand half empty.

An image of Roxy smiling cutely came to mind. I wonder why she never liked being called by her full name. I loved her name either way.

Her smile was something that made living my life a little better.

Kicks, Punches, and words were the pained things darkening my life yet the brightness of Roxy's smile was enough to keep me going.

I could have easily died long ago but there is something about Roxy that forces me to stay.

Sadly on her 18th birthday she'll belong to her mate and I will be nothing but a distant memory.

She would find someone to love her, protect her, and make her happy all the things I was incapable of.

How could someone like me provide these things to a person if I haven't even learned or experienced these things myself.

I shake my head sharply trying to repress these depressing and absurd thoughts. Roxy would never feel such a way towards me so why was I so caught up in thinking like this.

I walk over to my closet randomly grabbing an outfit preparing to go take a shower. I liked to wait until later in the morning to shower in hopes of avoiding everyone.

The boys of the pack got angry if I showered before them. They said that I was filling the shower with the filth that was known as me and they refused to allow me in until they were done.

I made it to the bathroom safely hurrying to shower just to make sure I didn't run into anyone accidentally who was running behind.

I finally made it downstairs for breakfast taking my usual spot at the end of the table where the lower ranks sat.

This wasn't how the table was ordered to be. The lower ranks didn't have anywhere to fit in with the higher ranks so we just sat together.

I glanced at the head of the table and saw Roxy eating with her family smiling and laughing along with them.

Right beside her sat Brayden who was watching her just as I did.

She turned to look at him and he took this as his chance to try and get her attention saying something that caused her to roll her eyes.

She turned a little, meeting my eyes causing her face to light up instantly throwing me a quick smile.

I smiled back whilst noticing that Brayden's attention was now on me.

His eyes darkened with what I recognized was soon to be my worst nightmare.

His gaze stayed on me for a while longer before he turned back to his duty of pestering Roxy.

Soon after breakfast everyone was sent out to do their chores.

I was in charge of skinning the meat that was going to be eaten for dinner.

I watched Roxy as she headed out with her hunting group.

I glanced out the window and watched as she shifted into a beautiful white wolf whose fur was as pure as snow.

She howled up into the sky leading the group towards the forest.

I finished my job and as if on cue Roxy walked in with her group who were carrying a large deer and loads of different birds.
