Disgusting

Primordial wolf.

Sophia.

“Hey, wake up!” Rita yells. “Wake up, lazy ass! You’re the only one who is still sleeping. Sophia."

 I open my eyes to the sound of my name, only to be greeted by Rita’s reprimand to wake up.

 “What?” I ask with a yawn as I grab the blanket from her. “Can I have my beauty sleep, please?”

 Rita rolls her eyes and yells at me to get up. “No, you can’t,” she says firmly. “It’s time to start your day. Don’t waste it sleeping.”

 I’m furious at her. Why is she waking me so early? I reminded her that it’s Saturday and there are no obligations for me today. So I should be able to sleep in as much as I want.

 I am having a dream full of wonderful things, and then that awful girl wakes me up as I am about to see his face. I am still trying to find my sleep when someone comes in with full force.

 “What the hell is going on, Rita?” I get to my feet, hoping to drag her out, but I meet with something else. My mother’s angry, burning face. Shit. She stares at me, her eyes blazing as she utters her next words: “What do you think you’re doing?”

 I put on a radiant face. “What a wonderful morning, Mother,” I whisper.

 “I don’t think so,” she says, her voice dripping with venom. “Nothing is wonderful, girl." She screams before dragging my ear. “Why are you still in bed at this time of the day? Do you want me to drag you out and hit your ass?”

“Ha, Mom.”

“Get out of bed now,” she bellows. “You can’t keep wasting time, or you’ll regret it.”

“No Mom. I’m sorry. It hurts.” I try to put on a scene. Almost crying, “I’m sorry, Mother.”

 “Oh, my goddess, did I hurt you, baby?” She asks. “Let me see. Show me where it hurts.”

 I know Mother is the best. She is devoted to her pups and never causes us harm. She is our guardian and mentor. She shields us from our father whenever he wants to hit us.

 “Here.” I point to my ear. It doesn’t hurt at all. I’m only acting.

 “I’m so sorry, honey. It’s mother’s fault,” she states. “I shouldn’t have dragged your ear.”

 She blows my ear with her mouth. I am still enjoying her treatment when my sister bangs in.

 “Mother, what are you doing?” Joy questions.

 My sister’s interruption ruins the moment. I am still enjoying my mother’s treatment, and then Joy has to come in and ruin it. She is the eldest daughter in our family. She doesn’t live with us anymore. She and her mate Lucas are only here for a visit.

 “What did I tell you, sister?” Liam sneers. “I tell you, Mom won't do anything to her.”

 He is the first son and second child in the family. He’s staying with us because he’s yet to find his mate.

 “Are you not spoiling this pup too much?” my sister questions. “You are so angry when Rita reports her for throwing her out when she comes to wake her up, and you promise to teach her some lessons? Is this the lesson you are referring to? Is this the lesson you’re supposed to teach her?”

 I stare as she rants. Why is she so jealous? She was once in my position. She always receives this kind of treatment from our mother before leaving for her mate’s house.

 “Can you all shut your mouths?” Mother screams. “Can’t you see I hurt my baby’s ear? She's hurt.”

 “Oh god. For goddess’ sake, Mother, can’t you see she’s lying and pretending?” Rita mutters.

 “Only you will fall for her cheap lies.”

 “She’s not lying,” Mother says sternly. “Even if she is pretending, I’m happy to go along with her.”

 My mother turns to me and asks, “How are you feeling now? Are you okay?”

 My mother knows me well enough to understand that I’m trying to save face, and she is willing to help me by pretending to believe my story. 

“I’m not okay yet, Mother,” I sob. “It still hurts.”

“Can you stop all this?” Father intervenes, walking in. “You all can continue your drama when we return.”

“Where are we going, sweetheart?” Mother queries.

“Really? Don’t tell me you forget what you are here for?” He inquires. “Are you not here to wake her up for her to get ready to go to the pack hall? Have you forgotten that today is the day the Alpha introduces his adopted son to the pack?”

 “What, Father? Is that true?” I ask him.

 “Are you unaware of this, Sophia?” he asks. “Are you not Elena’s best friend? Did she not tell you about it?”

 “No, Father, she didn’t,” I whisper bitterly, dropping my head in disappointment. She refuses to tell me because she hates me now.

 “Oh! Are you guys fighting?” Rita smirk. “I think you girls are friends.”

 “No, we’re not fighting,” I respond.

 “What happens between you two?” Mother questions.

 “Nothing.”

 Is it because I ask her not to accept him? That is why she didn't tell me.

 “Okay! Okay! Get up and bathe,” Father mumbles. “I don’t want to be late. We will leave soon, and you, Bella, meet me downstairs.”

 “Hey, Aaron,” Mother screams. “Why are you calling me by my name? Where did the honey go?”

 “Hey, baby, I will leave now. Go take a bath and join us.” She stands up and chases after my dad. She hates it when my father calls her by her name.

 “We will be leaving as well,” Liam says. They walk out and close the door behind them.

 I am so disappointed with Elena’s behavior. Or did she have a reason for not telling me? I need to see and talk to her. I get up from bed to bathe.

 “Sophia, are you not coming?” my father yells.

 “I’m coming,” I answer. I quickly wipe my wet body and put on my clothes before storming out of the room.

 “I’m here, Father. Good morning, Lucas.” I greet my sister’s mate, who is sitting beside her.

 “Sophia, good morning,” he responds with a sneer.

 I never liked him. I know he’s a pervert from the way he looks at me, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. The look on his face is full of lust, and I wonder why my sister didn't notice this pervert of a mate. His body language and facial expressions give away his true intentions when interacting with me. 

I am sure he cheats on her, but she’s too in love to care. I don’t know how to tell her about this, as she won’t believe me. 

She is blindly in love with that jerk. I can only hope that she realizes the truth quickly so that she is not left hurt and blindsided by someone who isn’t worthy of her love. I try to keep my distance from Lucas, but that doesn’t stop him from giving me that heated stare. I hope my mate isn’t someone like him, or else I’m cutting off his shaft. I sit far away from Lucas. The meal is served. I dig in and eat. I can feel a hot stare on my body, and I know who that stare belongs to. I don’t look at Lucas, but I feel his eyes burning through my skin. He stares at me heatedly. I have had enough of him. Enough is enough. I slam my hand on the table, ready to speak out, “Can you stop staring at me, pervert? Stop being a creep! You’re disgusting! Damn you, Lucas, with that disgusting stare of yours!”

“Why are you being so mean to me?” Lucas asks, his eyes filling with pain. “I’m not doing anything wrong.”

 “You’re just a pervert,” I exclaim. “I don’t want to be around you.”

 “Ha! What do you mean by that?” He questions innocently.

 “Are you going to pretend, or are you saying that I am lying?” I ask with a smirk on my face. “Are you pretending to be dumb, Lucas?”

 “Sophia, I won’t take that from you,” Joy howl. “I won’t sit here and watch you insult my mate.” She stands defending him and ready to fight me.

 “It’s alright, girls. Don’t fight,” Liam enunciates.

 “Enough, Liam! Are you deaf? Are you not here when she’s accusing my mate of staring at her? She even dares to insult him in front of me. Do you want to die, Sophia?" Before I could say anything else, she attacked me.
