The Alpha
Prologue
(Author's POV)
Everyone has a dream. Some dreams are the same, however, most are different. In Ava Schmidt's case she only ever dreamed of one thing, and that was for someone to love her. Cowering under the blanket and trying hard not to cry, she hid from those around her, not wanting to be weak, even though she knew she was. At least, that is what she has always told by the people that are supposed to love her. Strangers didn’t understand how this 9-year-old could be so grown up for her age, but they didn’t know that her family has been treating her as their slave and personal punching bag since she was four years old. She has been called every name a child could imagine, and even some things that she didn’t quite understand, but she knew one thing for certain: no one has ever told her that they loved her.
