I had just woken up from my sleep, dragging myself out of bed. After a quick, cold wash, I had stood in front of the cracked mirror hanging above the rusted sink, staring at the shadow of the girl I had become. With skin, pale and thin, and cracked mouth. I hissed in pain as I tried nursing my wounds I received recently.
Numerous tending of my wounds and sometimes other of my fellow servants has made me a miniature moving hospital. I hissed in removing the bandages I applied to it the other day. Thankfully, it has joined its fellow mates to imprint a scar on my tender skin.
The faded scars of other punishment I had received for years are still imprinted on my skin. I cringed as I recall the pain of the whip. I could still remember it as if it were today.
The Bane Whip, as it was called, is a whip made for werewolves and dipped in wolfbane specifically so that the scars will resist the healing nature of us werewolves.
It runs along my back down to the top of my shoulder. A constant reminder of my place in the pack.
The alpha pack had so many of us that he got from wrecked and destroyed packs that were invaded by rogues. We work for him and his pack, and we are given a little portion of food and a roof to sleep under. To many of us, we see it as a chance of salvation because wolves without packs become rogues who roam the great woods.
My hair, which was still wet from bathing, was folded up with a towel, but on normal days, it ran down the small of my back. Yes, I know you might wonder how ridiculous it might be, but that was how I was born. With deep hazel eyes to match and a lean athletic figure.
I have high cheekbones and a perfectly shaped nose like I have been told by my friends in the pack. I sighed as the reflection staring back at me looked like someone who was malnourished and hadn't gotten good food for like forever.
Pushing all thought out of my head, I dressed in our normal dirty dress that we the Omegas usually wear to do labor.
I sensed my friend Alice coming out of her room, so I quickly finished what I was doing and opened the door, getting ready for today.
