Chapter 004

I had no idea what woke me up.

The chill in the room which was giving me shivers even in my sleep, or the pain in my throat.

Perhaps it was the aggressive sounds of footsteps thumping around.

I lifted my eyelids slowly, wincing at how sore my body was and the harsh brightness of the room that temporarily blinded me for a moment before my gaze adjusted.

Where was I? Was the first question that entered my mind as I looked around the unfamiliar room.

How did I end up here?

My gaze shifted frantically from the golden curtain draped over the window, to the big TV and I groaned as I realised that I was in the Alpha's building.

How on earth did I get here? What was I doing here?

For a few moments, I closed my eyes to rack my brain, my memory, seeing if I could remember what happened, why my throat was burning like hell and why every joint in my body felt like it had been run over by some sort of wild animal.

But I came up with nothing.

Well thank God i still remember my name so we know that i wasn't suffering from amnesia.

Suddenly, the memories slammed into me like a wave that came out of nowhere making a guttural groan to escape my lips.

Nina…

It was Nina. She had tried to poison me. Not tried - thebitch had seriously poisoned me, and left me to die?

I clenched my fist, ignoring the pain that followed as I felt anger slam through me.

She had poisoned me. Just like that…she had wanted to kill me.

I always knew that hayley hated me but wanted me dead? To kill me? I never imagined anyone, not even Nina, disliked me to that point.

I shuddered…

So i would have just..i would have just been dead and my story would have ended here. No one would have cared, no one would have missed me.

Why?Because I was nothing but the dirty Omega.

Another shudder wrecked through my frame and I shut my eyes in a futile attempt to block back the tears that pooled in them.

The footsteps which had stopped earlier, started again - I had forgotten it - but this time I heard them coming closer to me.

I jerked up, alert and eyes wide as I looked at the direction of the approaching footsteps.

But the man I saw staring back at me with a strange expression, made me freeze…right down to my bone marrow.

Alpha Sky…

The famous, formidable Alpha Sky, was in the same room with me, breathing the same oxygen with me and staring at me like he was two seconds away from snapping my neck.

I could smell the rage, anger in him even though there was a few feet between us - and it made my heart leap into my throat.

What was he doing to her?

What have I done?

Has he been sent to finish the job Nina could not finish?

But there was something else in his scent…concern, fear.

“How are you doing now, Hayley?”

I gasped. Alpha Sky knows my name. He fucking knows my name but who cares? He was just going to kill me anyway.

“Please...please…” I stuttered and swallowed, wincing again at the pain in my chest, “Please do not hurt me. Don't kill me, Alpha Sky.”

He frowned, his brows coming together and making his very handsome features all the more sexy.

“Kill you? Now why would I want to kill you, Hayley?”

I frowned at the genuine confusion on his face, and froze when he walked closer to sit down on the bed beside me.

The anger was still there but right now, as he looked down at me there was raw concern and pain in his eye- which only confused me more.

“How are you feeling?”

How was I feeling? Like hell, but what does he care about?

“Why…why am I here and what are you doing here?”

“I already told you this when you woke up earlier, Hayley. Do you not remember?”

I shook my head slowly because the last thing I recalled was Nina and the gut wrenching pain I had felt before everything went blank.

But slowly it came back. I guess the memory had always been there but I had just dismissed it as a dream.

/I swear to you Hayley, by my life, by the moon and by the earth on which we walk - I will make all those who dared to hurt you suffer. I will lay waste to everything they love, one by one until they are reduced to an existence worse than death./

I bit back a gasp as I remembered…more like, let it sink in.

I know. I had known the moment I opened my eyes, the moment I saw him but just shoved it aside.

I had recognized that feeling, had felt him, myself pulling to him.

Alpha Sky was my mate.

THE Alpha Sky was my fucking mate!

Dear Goddess…

What sort of prank was this?

The shock I was feeling must be portrayed on my face because he smiled, and placed a hand on mine softly, “You do not have to worry or fear Hayley. Now that I have found you…no one will ever harm you again.”

Alpha Sky was my mate!

Alpha Sky is my mate!

I could hear him. His promises were clear as day.

But the point was - I had once believed in such promises all my life and I had only ended up being a fool.

That's something I wasn't willing to do again.

There's no way THE Alpha Sky would want to be mated to an Omega anyways. So I'd rather live in reality than let delusions sweep me off my feet again.

“Thank you so much, Alpha. I do appreciate the concern but …I'm sorry. I can't accept this - whatever it is -”

“It is a mate bond, ordained by the goddess.”

“Yes…that it is. But I cannot accept it, I do not want it in any way. I'm just a slave, nothing more so there has to be a mistake somewhere.”

He pulled closer and cupped my jaw with two fingers, lifting my face so my gaze could lock onto his, “You are not a slave, Hayley. At least not anymore. You are an Alpha's mate! Soon to be Luna of the biggest and strongest pack to ever exist. You have me now, Hayley so you aren't just a slave anymore.”

I'm no longer a slave.

I'm no longer a slave.

Goddess, how I'd love to believe him, to just believe his words and embrace his words.

But Hayden had made the same promises to me. He had promised too that I was not to be identified as a slave anymore as long as I had him.

He had seemed just as sincere as the man staring at me with his intent golden eyes seems now - but at the end of the day it just turned out to be nothing but deceit. Nothing but a lie meant to wreck and break me.

Men!

I shall not fall victim again. I won't be a victim of any man's games ever again - sincere or not…. even if the man was Alpha Sky.

I'd rather remain a slave than be a pawn in a game, a character in some silly fantasy.

“I'm sorry. I have to go now, I've got work to get back to.”

Thankfully he didn't try to stop me as I got up on my feet and I hated that there was a part of me that wished he had tried to stop me.

I wobbled on my feet, and strong arms grabbed my waist holding me steady on the ground.

“Careful Hayley, you are still hurt.” He rasped right behind my ear and I shivered in delight.

Suddenly nothing existed other than his delicious warm breath brushing against my neck, his arms holding me and the scent of the woods which penetrated my nostrils, driving me crazy with every greedy inhale I took.

My body grew hot and I felt everything in me yearning for more. Crying out for more of his touch, for him to pull me closer into him, for his lips to make any touch at all with my skin.

I released a disappointed gasp when he released me and pulled away - but I guess I should be grateful instead.

“I'm never ever going to force you Hayley. But believe me, I'll come find you and I am not willing to let this go. For now…you are free to do what's on your mind.”

I was panting - Yes, panting like a stupid dog in heat - as I staggered on unsteady feet to the door and left the room.

༺༺♡♡༻༻

“Oh, finally the queen decides to greet us with her presence!” My step mother's sneer greeted me the moment I walked into the house.

I looked at her, flinching at the anger rolling off her, the rage on her face. There and then, I knew I was in a whole lot of trouble.

“Well? Are you just going to stand here gawking at me like a simpleton? Where on earth are you coming from, Hayley? Since last night!”

“I'm sorry, I ran into an accident and…” her laugh interrupted me before I could finish.

“An accident? An accident that kept you away from home all night, huh Hayley? Or were you just out there, whoring yourself out to men? Is that why you couldn't stay with Hayden? For an opportunity to whore around? Like mother…like daughter.”

Her words stung me like a sharp needle pierced through my skin but I decided to ignore it. Right now Genna was like a walking flame and it would do me no good to ignite the flame.

Besides I was in enough pain as it is.

“Answer my question, you slut? Where were you? Who were you with? Who was the man you were busy advertising your legs to?”

“I told you, step mother…I had a little accident last -” a sharp pain on my cheek cut me off.

I gasped and held my cheek staring at Genna with wide eyes.

She had slapped me.

“Keep staring at me like that, and I will give you another slap! Now tell me the truth! Where were you last night?”

“But I'm telling you the …” Another slap cut me off and I gasped.

“More lies? I'm going to cut out these lies from your tongue myself, trust me!”

“What lies?”

It was hard, so damn hard to not cry, to ignore the way both sides of my cheeks hurt like hell, the urge to cry, to let the tears flow.

But I kept it all in.

“You'd still stand there and pretend? So, you had an accident? Why did Nina come to me this morning to tell me that you were spending the night with Alpha Sky's guards?”

Nina did what?

My chest tightened at that.

“Is that where you have stopped now? Slutting out yourself to guards?” Another sleep accompanied by a kick to my gut.

I groaned and keeled over, as the pain brought me to my knees.

This time, I allowed the tears to flow.

The moment my knees touched the ground, Genna saw it as an open door to do more. I hugged myself, a futile attempt to shield myself from the kicks after kicks that were hitting me.

At a point, I lost track of where the kicks were hitting, where it hurt.

All I knew, all I could think was the fact that my whole body, from head to toe hurts. All I could feel was the pain shooting through me, coursing through my body.

I was dying. I could not hear anything, feel anything else.

I was dying.

I closed my eyes and just allowed it to sink in. The pain, the beating, the humiliation…I let them all sink in. I embraced them.

All I could hear in my head were words that drove me further into a deep dark void.

'You are a disgrace.’

'You are nothing but an Omega.’

'You are a piece of dirt so you deserve this and more.’

Suddenly the kicks and yelling stopped and I dared myself to open my eyes.

My step mother who was now sweating profusely…was standing before me, eyes wide and mouth agape as she stared at something at the door.

I turned, following her gaze and couldn’t even afford to be embarrassed at the gasp of relief that left my lungs.

“How dare you, lay your filthy hands on my mate?!”

    The car slowed to a stop, the soft purring of the engine fading into the quiet evening. I swallowed hard as I gripped the edge of the seat, my palms slightly damp from the nerves that had been building up during the ride. Sky hadn’t spoken much since we left, and I hadn’t pressed him for conversation. My mind had been too full of questions, worries, and...hope?I almost laughed at myself at the last thought. Hope. Do I dare allow myself to have hope? I stared at my hands, the scar on my palm reminding me of everything I had been through. /Don't get too comfortable, Hayley./ A part of me whispered. This might be just another fleeting moment of peace, one that would be ripped away soon enough. But I didn’t want to think about that right now. “Hayley,” Sky’s voice broke through my thoughts, soft but commanding. He was standing beside the car, holding the door open, waiting for me. I stepped out carefully, and the moment my feet hit the ground, I found myself staring at the buildi

    The rest of the day passed by in a quick blur with Sky, helping me to settle into my new room - which was his room. It had not taken long for me to fall asleep.The moment I woke up, I could feel the tension in the air. It was suffocating, weighing down on my chest like an invisible force. I knew today wasn’t going to be any easier than the day before. Sky’s mother made that abundantly clear with every cold look and sharp word, and i had no idea how to get through that.Ugh!Just when I was foolish enough to thonk that my life would at least take a change.What was I thinking anyway? I was just an Omega.I dragged myself out of bed, the cool air brushing against my skin as I stood in front of the mirror. My reflection stared back at me, and I almost didn’t recognize the person in the glass. The dark circles under my eyes, the tightness in my expression—I looked as worn down as I felt. “This is your new life now, Hayley,” I whispered to myself, trying to summon some semblance of coura

    I watched Hayley walk away, her shoulders hunched, the weight of my family’s disdain pressing down on her. It was tearing me apart to see her like this, vulnerable and hurt, and I could feel the anger boiling inside me. I wanted to chase after her, to tell her that everything would be okay, but I knew she needed space to calm down.“Sky?”The voice interrupted my thoughts, and I turned to see Jake, my best friend and beta, standing in the doorway. He was the only person outside my immediate family who really understood me. He had been with me through thick and thin, and right now, I needed his support more than ever.“Hey, Jake,” I greeted him, trying to mask the frustration in my voice.Jake took one look at my face and his expression softened. “I can see you’re having a rough day. Mind if I join you?”I gestured for him to come in. “Sure, have a seat. I could use a friend.”Jake took a seat on the edge of the grand staircase, his posture casual but his eyes attentive. “So, what’s go

    The days following the tense breakfast with my family had been a whirlwind of emotions. Hayley was trying to adapt, and I could see her effort, but the pressure from my mother and sister was relentless. Their disdain was palpable, a constant reminder of the battle we were facing. Every time I looked at Hayley, I saw the weariness in her eyes, the strain on her shoulders. I felt powerless to protect her from the harsh reality of my family’s expectations.This evening, I was determined to give Hayley a break from the mansion’s stifling atmosphere. I had planned a dinner out, hoping a change of scenery might lift her spirits. I dressed in a casual shirt and jeans, and after making sure everything was in place for our night out, I went to find her.***“Hayley!” I called out, walking through the house. “Are you ready?”There was no answer. I frowned, feeling a pang of concern. I headed towards her room, knocking lightly on the door before opening it.“Hey, is everything okay?” I asked, pe

    The days had been long and weary, each one blending into the next like an unending gray blur. The mansion, which had once seemed like a place of possibility, now felt more like an elaborate cage. The grandeur of the place only highlighted my isolation. The halls were echoing with emptiness, and the opulent rooms seemed to mock my attempts to fit in. I spent more time than I cared to admit trying to avoid interactions that always seemed to end in disappointment or judgment.Today, I had found solace in the library. It was a room filled with a comforting silence, but even here, I couldn't escape the gnawing feeling of being out of place. The vast shelves of books offered a temporary distraction, but the quiet whispers of loneliness were louder than any words on the pages. I traced my fingers over the spine of an old volume, trying to lose myself in its history, but my thoughts kept drifting back to the strained interactions I had with Sky’s family.Sky had been working late again, his a

    The mansion felt quieter than usual. The usual hum of activity seemed subdued, replaced by an oppressive stillness that settled over the house like a heavy fog. I had spent most of the day dealing with business matters, trying to ignore the gnawing worry that had been eating away at me for weeks. The lingering tension between Hayley and my family, particularly Selene, was a constant weight on my shoulders. I had hoped that my mother’s disdain and Selene’s harsh words would not create a rift between us, but reality had been far less forgiving.My day had started with a barrage of phone calls, urgent emails, and meetings that seemed to drag on endlessly. The stress of managing the pack’s affairs was wearing on me, and it was hard not to let it affect my personal life. My thoughts kept drifting back to Hayley. I had seen the hurt in her eyes after Selene’s latest outburst, and it was eating away at me.As I finally made my way to the study, I found myself dreading the evening ahead. It w

    The cold night air cut through my skin as I stepped out of the manor, my heart pounding so loudly I thought it might burst from my chest. I hadn’t packed much—just enough to survive, just enough to get away. Sky had tried to stop me, his voice pleading, but my mind was made up. It had to be. I couldn’t live like this anymore, in the suffocating shadow of his family’s disdain, in the constant fear of what tomorrow might bring. I glanced back at the towering structure behind me, its grandeur now a symbol of everything I couldn’t have, everything that wasn’t meant for someone like me. No matter how much Sky said he cared, no matter how many times he promised things would change, the truth was simple: I would never fit in here. His family had made sure of that. Especially Selene. Her words echoed in my mind, the venom in her voice stinging as sharply as it had when she first spoke them. “You don’t belong.” And the worst part? She was right. I didn’t. I never had.

    The night was cold, the kind of crisp chill that clung to your skin and made everything feel sharper, more real. I could feel it sinking into my bones as I hurried down the hallway toward Hayley’s room. Something was wrong—no, I knew something had been wrong for a long time, but tonight it felt like a ticking bomb ready to go off. Hayley had been distant, almost invisible in her attempts to avoid me. I couldn’t blame her, not after the way my family had treated her, after the tension I’d created by not telling her the truth about Veronica. I’d been trying to find the right moment to talk to her, to fix everything, but it seemed like the more I tried, the further she slipped away. And now, I had a sinking feeling that she was about to run. The thought made my chest tighten with panic. I couldn’t let her leave. Not like this. Not without talking things through. When I reached her door, I paused, my hand hovering over the handle. Part of me wanted to burst in and stop her from whateve

    The moonlight streamed through the window, casting long shadows across the floor. I stared out at the dark woods, the towering trees swaying slightly in the breeze. The night was still, too quiet for my liking, but it was also my only chance. My heart raced in my chest, each beat a reminder of the urgency I felt deep within. I couldn’t stay here anymore. I had to get out.I hadn’t seen Sky since the confrontation in the hallway. Every time he approached me, I found a way to slip away. It had become a game of avoidance, but now it was more than that—it was survival. His family was suffocating me. His mother’s cold, judgmental stares, and Selene’s sharp words, like daggers every time they spoke. It was clear that they didn’t want me here, and the longer I stayed, the more vulnerable I felt. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I fidgeted with the edge of the worn blanket, my mind spinning with thoughts of how to escape this suffocating prison disguised as a mansion. I had nowhere to go, no

    I leaned against the cold marble countertop in the kitchen, staring at the dark liquid swirling in my mug. The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, but I couldn’t bring myself to take a sip. The house was too quiet, except for the occasional ticking of the antique clock in the hallway, reminding me of how much time had passed since I’d been avoiding this conversation. I knew what was coming. Hell, I’d known for days now that my family wouldn’t let it go. My engagement to Veronica was supposed to be the glue that kept everything together—the perfect arrangement that would keep the bloodlines pure, keep the legacy intact, and keep my mother happy. But my heart had gone in a completely different direction. Footsteps echoed down the hall, the kind that could only belong to my mother. Her heels clicked sharply on the polished wood floors, each step a reminder of her unwavering authority in this house. I straightened, setting my coffee mug down just as she and Selene entered the room. M

    The mansion, once a place of uncertain promise, had slowly begun to feel like a cage. Each day, I fought to find a sense of belonging within its grand but cold walls, but my interactions with the other residents and the underlying tensions made it feel more like a gilded prison. I had tried to stay out of everyone’s way, focusing on the small joys of daily life, but the strain was palpable.That evening, I decided to take a walk in the garden. It had become my sanctuary, a place where I could find some semblance of peace amidst the chaos of my new life. The garden was expansive, with manicured hedges and flower beds arranged in elaborate patterns. As I strolled along the path, the scent of blooming roses and freshly cut grass filled the air, providing a temporary reprieve from the stress that had been mounting.The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape. I paused near a stone bench, taking in the tranquility of the moment. The rustling leaves and chirp

    The mansion felt unusually quiet as I walked through its corridors, my mind racing with thoughts of Hayley and the looming pressure from my family. I had spent most of the morning in meetings with the board, trying to juggle the responsibilities of my role as Alpha with the personal turmoil brewing at home. It was exhausting, and the weight of it all seemed to press heavily on my shoulders.I had managed to avoid my mother’s confrontations for the past few days, but I knew that wouldn’t last forever. The walls of the mansion felt like they were closing in on me, and the oppressive atmosphere was starting to affect my concentration. Hayley had been distant lately, and her unease was palpable. I had tried to reassure her, but words alone seemed insufficient to bridge the gap between us.As I entered my study, I noticed that my best friend, Marcus, was already there, waiting for me. He looked up from his papers, his expression shifting from casual to concerned.“Sky,” he said, his voice

    The days blurred together as I threw myself into the task of integrating into Sky’s world. On the surface, things seemed to be improving. The staff greeted me with less hesitation, and I no longer felt like a ghost haunting the halls. Yet, even with the small victories, a nagging sense of unease lingered just beneath the surface. It felt like I was walking on thin ice, a fragile balance that could shatter at any moment.Sky had noticed my efforts, and his quiet approval was something I clung to. But even in our growing intimacy, there was a distance between us, a tension that I couldn’t name. His apology had done much to ease the immediate strain, but we hadn’t truly addressed the deeper issues between us. There were things left unsaid, emotions buried under the weight of our shared past.It was late afternoon, and the mansion was quiet.

    POV: HayleyThe days following Sky’s apology were a whirlwind of emotions and newfound resolve. Each day seemed to blend into the next as I navigated the complexities of my new life, trying to adjust to a world where I felt both a part of and apart from. The mansion’s opulent interiors and the strained interactions with Sky’s family only added to the emotional burden I was carrying.I had taken Sky’s words to heart. His promise to support me and prove his commitment wasn’t something I could easily dismiss. Yet, despite his reassurances, the reality of living in a household where I was treated as an outsider was taking its toll. The mansion’s grandeur felt like a gilded cage, beautiful yet suffocating.This resolve to adapt and find my place had taken root in me, slowly but surely. The garden had become my sanctuary, a place where I could think and gather my thoughts away from the prying eyes and judgmental gazes.
