Daciana POV
Groaning and grooming in the dark, I forcefully pulled my brows up and my eyes flicked open.My sight was blur for a split seconds and slowly became clear as I was met with a sandy brown-roof. this isn't what I always wake up to and what I'm lying on, its way rocky and harder than my bed. I tried standing up from the ground I was lying on but got restricted by the chains wrapped around me. I wriggled my body trying to loosen myself. I cracked my head trying to remember what happened and how I ended up here and it clicked.
I remember how I had went to the forest. My favorite spot, then I met someone. I knew we talked but what we talked about is what I don't know and what happened afterward, I've no idea. I was still deep in thought when I heard prodding footsteps coming from the exit.
I look up to see two guys walking in. They were coated with arms and looks like warriors. they bought proffered towards me. I braced myself as I thought they were coming to kill me cause they were with weapons but when they got to me, They grasped both my arms and lifted me up from the ground then they drag me out of the place.I felt my bones breaking as they each tigtened the grip on my arms, leading me through a maginificient hallway. the tiles were pure gold and the whole environment puced with life, the journey seems not to be coming to an end until we arrived at a door. One of them opened it and I was led inside.
"Stay here, the Alpha will come for you soon" one of them growled monitoring me to sit on the king size bed.
Alpha??? Who's that?
I hesitated for a while but then sat on it. While they left, my head spun round taking in the eneviroment around me right now. The walls were made of corpers and the room is Times two bigger than an average room. Compare to my room, I'll call this heaven.
the beauty of the room made me forget about my problems for the meantime. Not entirely all my problems cause my mind never stop hinting on what he... the said Alpha is gonna do to me. The more the clock counts, the more my heart beats knowing that he will soon be here.
I almost thought he wouldn't come anymore till I heard the creaking sound of the door.
Someone traipsed in levelly.
He is clad in a long black garment sweeping the floor behind him.
His long hair was packed into a pony tail, revealing his full oval shaped face, as he walks in closer to me, his red eyes became vivid, it was blazing with fire and it reminded me of someone from somewhere.
Someone I didn't only see in my wild dreams but... wait that stranger?? He looks exactly like the stranger I met at the forest. Wait is he the Alpha those guys talked about?
As he walked in closer, he stood few inch apart me staring at me.
"You...you who are you and...and where am I?" I stuttered fearfully.
"You aren't supposed to say a word without my permission but I'll pardon you for now. And I'm Alpha Lowell of limia pack, and..." he stop and stoop low before me staring into my eyes. "But you can consider me as someone who's soon gonna be your worst nightmare." A ghost of smirk was cornering at his side lip but he quickly wiped it off like he doesn't want any crumb of humor in his face.
So he's indeed the Alpha of my park worst enemy?? Wait does that mean he's the one I've been seeing in my dreams? Talking about my dreams, more of a nightmare, it all started the day father told me about the coming of the war.
I kept fantasizing about the nature of the war and then in my fantasy, I always see my self being captured by the lymia park and beheaded by their Alpha. I never saw the Alpha's face cause in a manner of dream, the face was never revealed but his height was vivid.
He is very tall and his height is very similar to that of the stranger at the forest. The fantasy soon became a dream and when the dream becomes frequent it turned into my nightmare.
"Look at me." I heard him say angrily but I pretended I didn't. I didn't know how my eyes had drop to the floor while avoiding his gaze.
Ask me why I'm scared of him, I don't really know.
The only thing I know is that, right from the moment I saw him at the forest, something in my gut told me that he's dangerous. Suddenly I felt two fingers under my chin and the fingers pulled my head up in a vice like force, almost breaking my neck. Once again I was met with two pairs of feiry eyes.
"Do you know how much I take pleasure in inflicting pains and making my enemy suffer?" His voice was serene. Too calm to the extent of scaring the shit out of me. "I bet my throne you don't and I certainly know that you don't wanna fall prey too so When I ask you to do something you should do it with immediate effect." He growled staring into my eyes and I just nodded with a glumped. His hand then left my chin and his fingers pierced into my cheek deeply.
A sharp pain shot around my face.
"I won't codone that kind of behavior from you. You should address me properly as your master, am I clear?" He growled, his red eyes leering into mine. He looked at me in the most loothesome way as though I've done a terrible thing to him.
But...What?
Master?
Masters are men who buys people and has them working for him, as servants or slaves. but he never bought me so he don't owe me right?
I was just staring into his eyes until he pierced his finger deeper tearing into my skin and making it bled.My cheeks burns like fire.
"Yes.. master," Escaped my mouth
"Good." He nodded and then let go off my cheek.
I watched him walked up to a chair and then sat on it. He drew a bottle of wine close to himself and starts drinking.
"Your father..." he began just when I was about asking him 'what he's gonna do to me.' he said the name with disgust.
"Has done alot of things tongues cannot pronounce. Just because he's labeled the most powerful Alpha who ever reigned, he feels it's okay to oppressed other parks, de-humanized them, turns them into slaves and get away with it. Just because no one has and no one will have the courage to challenge him. But his biggest mistake was the day he made my father a victim."
He paused and sip from his wine. I could see it was taking all in him to keep his voice at a low pitch, maybe he wanted his voice to torture me slowly for reasons Best known to him.
"All my life I've been waiting for this moment. I've been craving to have sole dominant over the Lycanblood pack, I want to inflict so much pains on them and make them experience what it feels like to be slaves but unfortunately your father seems to be hard-headed. He had refused to surrender his pack even after I've sent him a letter that I've got his daughter hostage. I guess he thought I was joking around. But not to worry.." he stared at me passionately, his eyes craving for my reaction but I was just numb trying to process where all this was leading to.
"I can still achieve my revenge through you. Rather than killing you, I've got other plans. I'm gonna make you pay for the atrocities of your father and you are gonna take all the afflictions for your pack, from now on, you are my slave." Venom dripped in every syllables of his words but I could care less for now. Only four words reverberated in my head and settled rent free in it;
~you are my slave~
Still in a state of trance, I watched him, looked at me with so much hatred emitting from his eyes. I stares at him keenly as if I'll see any trace of humor in eyes but his eyes held a lot of things far distance from it. It was dark and it holds lot of miseries, beneath the facade of his fury I swear I could see a broken man__broken beyond repair, a wanderer who need help to fix the remains of his life but has blatantly throw it off for his fury.His outward facade made me tremble in great fear but a part of me pity the man inside him.
"Stand up!" came his cold voice, I didn't process the word at first but When It dawn on me that he was gonna hurt me again if I exhibits any ounce of balkiness, I sprung to my feet.
"Strip!" One word. Just one word made my heart sank into my stomach, pounding real fast and threatening to burst forth from my ribcage.
"Ava!" “Dacianna!" We both yelled at the same time wearing stupefied expressions as if disbelieved to see each other. Well I was disbelieved. I mean my best friend Ava, is the least person I expected to see here. No scratch that, I'd completely even long lost hope that I'll ever see her again. Disbelieved turned into excitement as we both dived each other into a breathtaking hug. We hugged each other like our life depended on us since the tightness from the hug even restricted our airflow and eventually we were both crying. “I’ve missed you so much Ava” “Me too, Only the moon goddess knows how much I’d yearned to see you again. I thought...I thought those lads killed you already...I’m sorry daciana I missed you.” “Me too, me too ava...” We cried so much, tears of joy for seeing each other and that was how things became emotional, reminiscing and repeating to each other how we'd missed each other. "What are you doing here?" Ava asked first as we broke the hug. "No, I should b
“Uhm are you sure this is a Good idea?.” That’s like the hundredth time I’m trying to kick against the fact that we’re going out. Like out of the pack house.Rena had earlier took permission from Wallace to hang out with me promising to take care of me and keep an eye on me. Well not like that last part was necessary because I’ll never do something that’ll get her in trouble.Right now, we’re in her own room right here in the pack house and we’re sorting out the best outfit to wear to the party.“C’mon dacianna, unless you’ve other plans to escape which will get me in trouble with Lowell then this is the best idea.” She dump the gown she was checking out on the heap of clothes already on the bed and turns to face me. “Everyone could see you as a slave girl but to me you’re royalty and you deserve to live a little. Go out! Have fun with me like best friends do. Plus now that the Alpha isn’t around, it’s the perfect time to finally go out.”She said with an enthusiastic smile.My mind
"What my father do to your pack, what did he to Lowell!" Tension iced the atmosphere as I said that."You do know Adophus is evil right?" After a long silence "Yes..." I agreed which is the honest truth."He simply took advantage of his powers sometime ago to oppress our pack. He made Lowell's father a victim of his sheer cruelty and also some members of this pack. I can't explain everything to you but he really hurt Lowell and our pack in general."I still didn't get the full story but I didn't push any further. Connecting the dot with what the Luna had told me, it could be possible that my father killed Lowell's father. My father had always been a monster anyway "Don't be sad daciana. It's not your fault that your father have to be Adophus. You haven't done anything wrong as far I am concerned" Wallace picked my palm and caressed it and that was when I realized I've pulled a doleful look once Wallace was done."Why are you so different from Lowell?" I voiced out as Wallace was car
Daciana POV, Unlike every other days the sky is Alluring tonight because the stars are shining so bright and decorating the moon which is getting fuller by the day. And that only means one thing; the festival of peace is drawing near. But something seems off, No one had even talk about it here. Not rena, Pryanka, Wallace or even the maids around. Its as if they don't celebrate it here. Whether they does celebrate or not, the fact remains; I don't know my fate on that day. Each passing day reminds me of my family especially Ava. We would always stay out late nights to discus it till the D-day. But since it's impossible that I'll get to see them again, the least I could do is stay out late to watch the moon till I get tired just as I am doing now. And did I mention that, I haven't Bart an eye on Alpha Lowell ever since that night of the sex? Today is making it the sixth day and I haven't seen him. It's not like I care though. I mean he could go and hang himself for all I c
"What the hell did you put in alpha's food huh?"she yelled and banged the table not giving a care about the Luna's presence. "What love portion did you gave him?" She gripped my hair and started pulling it. I've always known this girl is crazy but she'd really gone insane this time. "Recheal what the hell is the meaning of this?" The Luna's voice vibrated but Racheal didn't pay any attention to her, she continue tugging my hair making me sway around. I couldn't even stop her because her grip was so strong and I felt my hair threatening to rip out of scalp which stung me so much like hell. Your hurting me. Let go off me..." I Grunted and struggled to get her hands off and eventually I was able to free myself from her. "What have you come over you racheal? What have I done to you this time?" I panted and if looks could kill, I would be roasting now with the death glare she's throwing at me. Somehow, she weirdly looks both angry and hurt. "Oh like you don't know?!" She scoffed angri
Lowell's POV, I was in my study room, my head buried in my palms trying to wrap my head around everything and think of my next action. Think of what to do with the information I've heard but nothing was forth coming to my head. I decided to numb myself with alcohol for a while and I was at my second glass when suddenly the door opened and Mrs Pryanka walked in. She immediate apologized for barging in without permission but she said she'd knocked and I didn't answer so she took the initiative. she walked in further without my permission. I didn't even say anything to her. Getting unnecessarily angry over minor things is the least thing in my system now. With her soft eyes glowing with compassion and the kind she always used to soothe me when I was a kid,She said. "Please don't be mad at the Luna Lowell, trust me she did the right thing. Think about it, you could have died if she hadn't rescued you and if she'd told you the truth about your identity they would have certainly be co
