Carla's POV

I've been enduring torture and I know that when they release me to the outside world, I would be able to handle anything. This house is hell itself.

I've never set my eyes on my aunt since she sold me and I don't care. I can't believe I was worth thousands of dollars to her. No one has ever appreciated me.

I wrapped my wounds up and dropped the first aid back to where it was. I stared out of the window and the moon shone brightly making the garden more clear and outstanding to look at. The Smith's mansion was a big one and interesting to look at. The garden is equally more outstanding and a place to ease your worries. People have always wished to take a look at the inside because the outside is amazing. But to me, it's hell. A designed hell! Nothing amazes me in this house anymore. I've been here since I was ten and I'm glad I'm leaving here in three months time.

I'm saving up so I can stand on my feet when I get out there. I've saved up a pretty amount of money and I'm saving more. That's how eager I am to leave this place. And I hope I won't be killed here before then. I hope the remaining months pass out fast so I can get the hell out of this hell. I laid back on the bed and pulled my bedsheet closer to myself. I snuggled up, hugging my knees. I will miss this room when I leave.

I yawned tiredly and sat up immediately. My eyes were tired and bulgy but what to do, I had to get to work immediately. I turned towards my old fashioned clock and my eyes nearly popped out of the socket. It's 7:00 AM. I was supposed to be awake and set to work at 6:00 AM.

Oh My God, I hope nobody is awake yet.

I stood up in a jiffy and ignored the excruciating pain coming from my knees and ankles. I rushed into my bathroom and brushed my mouth thoroughly. I remembered when Nessian complained of my mouth smelling and they both made jest of me. The Luna, Georgia, who is sometimes referred to as Luna Georgia, from her mate's name, Alpha Smith, had to act like I was infected with disease. Since then, I brushed my teeth first before setting out to work. I wouldn't want to ignite her anger by not brushing my teeth.

I walked out of my room hurriedly and walked out of the hallway. I rushed down the stairs heading to the kitchen. Everyone in the house wakes up at either 8 or 9 but I have to wake up before them. And if possible Luna Georgia wakes up now and she sees me in the kitchen, she would believe I have been doing something and that's why I'm rushing there now.

"Where are you rushing to?" The voice and question rang through my ears. I stepped on the hem of my dress due to the fright and fell on the floor. I turned to see Luna Georgia leaning at the dining table giving me an irritable look. I stood up hurriedly and stared at the floor. I dare not look her in the eye. She may find fault in my face.

"G…Good Morning Mm.. Luna." I stuttered. One major issue in our pack is that it's getting infiltrated with modern culture. I'm supposed to address her as My Luna or simply Luna but no one cares about this protocol any longer. Even the Alpha gets called Sir most of the time, even by his sons.

I hope I won't get beaten this morning. Yesterday's beating was still fresh and I wouldn't like to get another beating on top of it.

"I won't repeat my question, Carla." She said, silently. I gasped in fear. What to do? I slumped on the floor and crawled towards her. I held her legs and bowed my head.

"Luna, please forgive me. I would never wake up late again." I pleaded as tears fell from my eyes. She kicked her feet aggressively and I fell back on the floor.

"Get your filthy body away from me."

I stood up immediately, not wasting time, bowing my head while apologizing.

"I'm sorry, Luna." I kept repeating.

"Shut up. Don't damage my ears, Carla." She replied. "Get in the kitchen and start your work. This shouldn't repeat itself again." She said and walked out of the dining room. She headed towards the stairs and I am guessing she's going straight to her room. I sighed in relief and entered the kitchen. I opened the tap and water gushed out. I moved my face closer and splashed water on my face. I took the hem of my clothes and wiped my face dry with it.

With my injuries last night, I managed to do all the dishes and cleaned up the dining table before retiring to bed. I picked up the broom stick and walked towards the living room to dust it. I should wrap it up before 7:30 so I can prepare food early. After preparing food, I will go back to the other domestic chores and clean the house up. And I hope the laundry isn't too much for me to do today because I want to take care of my room today. There are some junks I have to settle.

After some minutes of cleaning the living room, I suspended the rest of the activities and headed towards the kitchen where I started preparing the food immediately. The work here is so stressful. I once asked them to employ another maid to help me but I ended up being beaten. I have to handle all the house chores alone. I've gotten sick so many times but that wasn't an excuse not to work. Whenever I'm sick, I pick myself up and work. Right now, sickness is nothing to me.

"Aren't you done cooking?" Nessian's voice boomed out from the hallway. I shook in fear and turned towards him, bowing slightly to him in respect.

Carla's POV

He was enjoying almost all the privileges entitled to the Alpha, his dad, when it came to respect and reference from the estate staff to which I wasn't exempted.

"I'm sorry sir but I didn't know you would wake up so early today." I replied. He stared at me for some time with tired eyes before speaking out.

"Just be quick with it, Carla." He said. I nodded and turned back towards the food. He is indifferent and has no human feeling, always feeling like he is the superior being of Alpha stock and we are nothing being Omegas. His brother however wasn't like him, if you got him pissed, he would insult you to the face, being so full of sarcasm and obscene jokes which hurt to the bones. I'd been a victim of this several times in the past, that's why I always strive to avoid him.

"And you have to do my laundry. I have so many unwashed clothes. He added.

"Okay sir." I replied hesitantly although I didn't plan of this being included in my work list today but who am I to object. I would be getting the hardest penance of my life.

"Use your hands to wash it. I don't like most washings from the machine, after all what are you here for. You are here to work and not to enjoy. Stress is part of the work and you can't evade it." He whined out. I raised my head to look at him and I saw his eyes on me. The washing machine doesn't affect his clothes, they just like seeing me suffer. They want me overworked. Now, he wants me to wash his clothes with my hands knowing I have so much work to do. He knows it will slow me down.

"Do you have any opposition to it?" He asked, walking closer to me.

"No, Alpha." I replied, averting my gaze back to the floor.

"Tchh…" He scoffed out loudly. "Then why are you sending daggers at me through your eyes".

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." I replied, shivering with fear. He stood close to me and sighed frustratedly.

"Look at me." I raised my head to look at him. Defying his rules may attract anger.

He raised his hands up and pointed it upstairs. "You will wash my clothes with your hands." He said, smirking. I nodded as he made his way out of the kitchen. My legs shook and I found it difficult to move. I sighed heavily and leaped towards the counter. I leaned on it and sighed in relief. Just three months to go. Three months.

I walked out with the plates and spoons and set them on the table. He and his brother, Sebastian, were already seated. I had no escapade this time around, I had to meet with his brother, Sebastian who always made me cringe and freak out with the words of his mouth. I wonder if he didn't realize I'm a human with feelings, and reactions when treated badly. He was pressing his phone not acknowledging my presence while Nessian was eager for me to serve the food. He was really hungry. No wonder he woke up early.

I walked out of the kitchen with the food in my hand as I leaped towards the dining. My knee hasn't healed yet and I am feeling the pain. The early morning work made me feel the pain more. I leaped towards the dining and stood beside Sebastian. I felt a compressed pain on my feet. I screamed and moved away, dropping the food in the process. It fell on the table and tumbled over to the floor. Sebastian hurriedly stood up and moved away from the table. He stepped on me. He stepped on my wounds.

I leaped away from there and stared at the mess I created. My eyes ran over Nessian as he looked at me with devilish eyes. I'm doomed!

"Why are you so careless like a freaking rat, have you realized that you do things like an animal without instinct? How dare you be so careless in front of your Alphas." Sebastian screamed at me and picked up the plate of soup pouring it all over me. I shut my eyes tight as I didn't want the soup to get into my eye. He pushed me and I staggered over. I held the chair for support.

Immediately, I felt a sound close to my ear with an excruciating pain followed by it. I whiffed in the perfume and knew it was Nessian. Nessian slapped me. I groaned in pain and broke down in tears. I slumped to the ground.

"Fuck!" Nessian exclaimed after slapping me. "I've been waiting for food and you dropped it at the last minute, you lazy asshole." He cursed at me.

I knew he was angry at the moment. His anger was always more than Sebastian's own even though Sebastian nags me more than he does.

"Bro, let's go out and eat. We can buy something from the mall, it wouldn't take long. Let's leave this idiot named Carla to her foolishness, one day she will learn the hard way." Sebastian said. I wiped the soup away with my dress and opened my eyes. "Your remaining three months here will be more hellish than this, I promise you!" He looked me in the face and sneered. I shivered in horror knowing no joke was meant. He pulled Nessian along and they walked out not without Nessian sparing me a hateful look. I gasped as tears fell freely from my eyes.

I've tried! I tried my best.

**THREE MONTHS LATER**

I scrubbed the kitchen floor and in no time it was sparkling clean. I cleared all the dishes and took care of the kitchen before heading to the laundry. I packed up the clothes and walked towards the washing machine. I turned it on and began my laundry. After two days, I will be out of here. I will be out of this Hell on Earth. After two days, it will be my birthday and the day I will leave this house.

Carla's POV

I smiled happily and took out the clothes when I was done with it. Most importantly, it will be the day I'll find my mate. I'll be taken home by someone that loves me for me, otherwise I'll be wondering where I'd go from here since I haven't been receiving any salary to save for an independent life after leaving here.

I cleared and cleaned everywhere. When I was sure I was done with everything, I headed towards the Luna's room to ask if she needed me to do something. I hope she replies negatively so I can have a bit of a rest. My body aches all over. If I move out of here, the first thing I'd do is to take a long rest, treat my body and if I have the opportunity, I will go for a massage with the estate's therapist. I smiled as I imagined life outside of here. It would be my first time living independently and doing things at my own time and accord.

Oh how good it will feel!

I knocked on her door awaiting a reply.

"Come in." She said and I pushed the door open. She was lying on her mate, the Alpha's chest as she caressed him softly. I cleared my throat and bowed at them.

"Alpha, Luna," I bowed in acknowledgement. I couldn't just start talking to them without showing my respect to them. That would attract punishment as well. "Luna, is there anything else I can do for you?" I then asked.

"Nothing. Go take a rest, dear." She said, I was shocked to my bone marrow when I heard her words. She's releasing me to take a rest and she even added dear? I smirked inside of my chest but not letting it become audible. One part of me told me that this was so because she was receiving comfort from her mate, she will be back to her rude nature when off this.

"Luna?" I said hoping I'd heard right or it was just some imagination.

"And, Carla dear, we would love to hold a party for you on your eighteenth birthday and your exit from this estate. You have served us so well." I wondered why they would have to wait until the last minute before they recognized my effort. "We hope we will see your mate come and take you off our hands, so we know we are handing you over to a safer hand." These words touched me deeply, so they know that a mate will treat me far more better than they do? Of course, yes.

"Yes. We appreciate your loyalty. Now you are a big girl. You should go out there and create a life for yourself." The Alpha said with a smile.

"Thank you Luna and sir. I really appreciate it." I thanked them and gave out a smile. A genuine one! A genuine smile that I haven't given out for a while.

"It's nothing dear. I will take you out tomorrow for shopping, to get you some dresses, shoes and stuff which you would use in remembering us. We really appreciate your loyalty and work for eight good years." Luna Georgia said.

"You can go now." She said and smiled at me.

"Thank you Luna." I thanked them and bowed slightly as I walked out of the room.

"Yes!!!" I jumped up happily. They appreciate my service even though they treated me like trash. I'm proud of myself and they appreciate me.

I should go get some rest. Afterall, she's freeing me now before I hear her calling my name and sending me on errands.

I heard footsteps and saw the twins walking towards me to the stairs. They are going out because they dressed up in a corporate way. They are going to work. They walked past me and Sebastian stopped abruptly.

I made a quick prayer in my mind as I looked up at him. He turned towards me and I dropped my eyes to the ground.

"You will be going soon." He said and moved closer to me. I watched as Nessian stopped giving me a gaze which I couldn't really explain what it was but I had goosebumps, there was this slight connection I got with them in a flash which hasn't happened for centuries. Sebastian stretched out his hands and squeezed my shoulders lightly, then he pulled me into his chest.

I gasp, my eyebrows arched and my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe this was real but then there was this slight scent I could perceive that moment his chest collided with my boobs. It came and went in a flash, I sensed a second one from a distance, and it was from Nessian. Both came and went.

This almost seemed like the connection of fated mates just that the scent didn't last longer than some few seconds. "It could be the preliminary sign of mates, the moon goddess could be showing that they will become our mates when you turn eighteen." Kara spoke up for the first time in years and this came with a whole new level of inner sense of fulfillment which had been lacking in my mind for years. I couldn't believe what she was saying despite receiving all these signs which aren't experienced by everyone but only to special people highly loved and honored by the moon goddess. Nessian and Sebastian were too harsh on me to become my mates, I chose to go pass it, pretending it never happened.

"I will miss you." He said all of a sudden and my heart dropped. Nessian scoffed and walked ahead of him, a clear sign that he was jealous. He rushed over to meet him and pulled him off me, and they descended the stairs in style. This all looked like a dream as I watched them go down. They look so manly in that suit and I can't get enough of their cuteness. I had drooled over them for a long time but now I hate them and can't wait to get away from them.
