Believing herself to be an omega, Sophia has witnessed first-hand, the alpha's mistreatment of her fellow omegas.

Chapter 1

Chapter One

Sophia’s POV

Today is just another miserable day in my life as an orphan omega, overlooked and forgotten by almost everyone in the pack. Today should have been so different, it should have been a celebration with my family, but I am alone in the world. There will be no party, no congratulations and perhaps most sadly of all, no first run with the pack. To them I am a burden, my life is not something to be celebrated, my presence is merely endured.

Today marks my eighteenth birthday, a sacred day in the life of every young werewolf. In the early hours of this morning, whilst the full, blue moon was still hanging in the sky above the forest, I shifted into my wolf form for the first time and the true nature of my being was finally set free.

It wasn’t the joyous occasion it would have been if my parents were still here. In fact, nobody even gave me a second look as I trudged out into the forest on my own. The other omegas all remained in their beds, knowing that if they were caught out of them, they would be visited by the business end of a whip. I had nothing but the tattered, greying sheet from my bed and thoughts of what my wolf would be like. I silently contemplated what my life could have been if the rogues hadn’t killed my parents and destroyed my future in one swift and bloody act.

The metallic din of clattering of pots and pans echoes through the kitchen and I scrub furiously at a stubborn stain on a plate. It’s almost as if they deliberately wait for the food to dry to the plates before returning them to the kitchen to be cleaned. As I work, an unfamiliar restlessness stirs within me, as if an invisible force urges me to look up from the sink full of dirty dishes and floating scraps of food that make my skin crawl every time they float past my submerged hands and touch my wrinkled skin.

My heart falls through my body and hits the floor with a metaphorical splat as I catch sight of him—Zaine, the alpha of our pack. Scarlet Moon Pack, my pack, is the second biggest, second strongest pack in the Northern territories.

Tall, brooding, and powerful, he commands respect and instils fear in almost equal measure. Every female in the pack dreams of being fated to him, even I did as a child, before my world turned upside down. I have grown up since then and my dreams have dulled to something far less fanciful. The only thing he makes me feel now is absolute disgust, until this morning anyway. When I got my wolf, everything changed. My shitty life just got worse, if you can believe that.

I thought, that after my first shift, I would be able to sneak back to my shared room by entering the pack house through the garden door and tiptoeing down the corridor to the omega’s quarters. It was still early, everyone would be sleeping, and I could remain invisible, but that route led me right past the library where he was, slumped over a pile of crinkled old maps and open books.

When my wolf emerged, her instincts blended with my own, and as I crept past the door like a frightened little mouse, she recognized him as our mate and began pawing at my insides trying to get out. Trying to get to him, of all people.

It was a cruel twist of fate when she started howling in my head. All she was saying was ‘Mate, mine, mate.’ Over and over in a desperate tone that shattered my heart as I ran down the corridor as fast as my feet would go, the slapping of bare flesh on the tiled floor echoed all around me. I barely made it back to my room before heaving last night’s meagre dinner into the pristine toilet bowl I had scrubbed clean that very morning.

All I could think was, how could this be happening? Have I not suffered enough?  Zaine despises the omegas: he considers us nothing more than burdens to the pack. What will he do when he discovers he is mated to the lowest of the low? Exile me? Reject me? Kill me? Any of the above are just as likely as the rising of the sun each morning. My fate will most likely be decided by which side of the bed he wakes up on. Alpha Zaine is not known for his patience or level temper.

Killing me would almost be merciful. Being exiled and becoming rogue, living a packless life, is a fate worse than death. Being rejected would kill my wolf then after feeling the agony of her demise I would die soon after, hollow and hopeless.

Yes. A swift, clean death would be the best outcome I could hope for, but I am not ready to die. I told myself there has to be another way, and I will just buy myself time until I find it. Maybe another pack will take me in, or I could flee before he has the chance to exile me and find somewhere safe to hide until he chooses a more suitable mate. Perhaps then I could return and continue my life here with my friends, return to being one of the nameless faces who serve those above me.

I told my wolf exactly who and what our mate is, and she listened intently as I described the many injustices he has turned a blind eye to or actively participated in. To him, we are worthless, omegas and nothing more. I felt her heart continue to break as she realised, she had waited eighteen years to find the other half of herself, only to discover he is a monster and a vicious brute. Something else stirred in her when I explained the pack structure, like she couldn’t accept our position in the pack, but she remained silent, seething, and restless inside me.

Avoiding Zaine has been my sole focus all day, in the hope he would not notice me or choose a mate before realizing the moon goddess had bound us together in a cruel joke at my expense. Staying out of his way for a little while should have been simple enough, I can’t recall clapping eyes on him more than twice in the last month. The pressure to provide the pack with an heir has been slowly mounting, and whispers have been circulating that he might take fate into his own hands and choose a mate for himself. He only recently returned from one of the neighbouring packs, Waning Moon, and rumour would have it he was there in the hopes of finding his goddess fated mate. 

He isn’t getting any younger, but he isn’t old either. It is true that at his age, most of us would be paired off and have a couple of pups running around, tearing up the place. For him, an Alpha, being thirty-one and unmated is cause for concern about the pack’s future security. His Betas, Luca and George, have been throwing women in front of him at every opportunity. Sometimes the other kitchen girls and I brave a peek behind the dining hall curtain to watch the parade of prize turkeys as they are marched up to him, one by one, and rejected with a brief wave of his fork.

As you might expect, my hastily constructed plan began to crumble no less than twelve hours after this life changing revelation. Why would it go any differently? My whole life has been nothing more than misfortune and the world laughing at my expense.

Zaine bursts into the kitchen, his presence filling the room with his intimidating aura, it seems to suck almost all of the air right out of the room and my chest tightens in an instant. What little air is left crackles with tension, and I know he has probably already caught my scent, that is more than likely what brought him in here in the first place.

That’s another thing about Alphas, their senses are heightened beyond normal, they are stronger than two or three average wolves and they have the ability to command anyone in their pack to obey their orders and there is fuck all we can do about it. The moon goddess really stacked everything in their favour when she created the mate bond.

Mrs Crook is the closest thing I have to a mother, or family of any kind in this place, and she is as sharp as a tack and quick as a whippet when she senses the panic rising inside me. She discreetly shuffles her ample frame around the countertop, deftly ducking to dodge flying silverware, and puts herself in between me and the beast I was apparently created for.

“Leave, now. Take the back door. I’ll come by our room and check on you as soon as the coast is clear.” She whispers over her shoulder. I can see the pity in her eyes and my heart gallops behind my ribs, banging on the bones, trying to break free. Ever since my parent’s deaths, she has lifted my spirits with stories of how she met her mate. He rescued her from a life of servitude, and they lived happily in the Delta wing, her mate serving in the Alpha’s guard. Her stories gave me hope that my mate would take me away from all of this. That hope was my light at the end of a long dark tunnel, and my wolf snuffed it out with her calls for her mate.

When Mrs Crook’s mate, Jonathan, was killed in a rogue attack, she found herself right back where she started, only now Zaine was Alpha, not his kind and benevolent father. Most wolves go mad with grief when they lose their mate, but not her, she is stronger than anyone I have ever known and she held herself together for the sake of us, the omegas. Without her, life would be far worse than it is, she is our spokesperson, our leader, our mother.

I can’t help my body’s reaction to his presence, and my damned feet won’t move from this spot. I don’t know if it’s fear or my wolf that keeps me rooted in place. A tight knot forms in my stomach and tingles erupt all over my skin. Pure, undiluted panic surges through me, and I shake my head, silently telling her I cannot move. My eyes widen and the realisation that I most likely won’t make it back to my bed tonight causes bile to rise in my throat. Fat tears gather on my lashes and threaten to spill as the kitchen erupts with chaos.

A sudden dampness spreads between my legs and I inwardly curse nature for making me so weak. My body is literally calling out to him, every instinct, every cell craves him, and I am powerless to do anything about it. For anyone else, finding out they were fated to the alpha would be a dream come true, but for me, it is nothing less than a nightmare.

Plates shatter on the terracotta tiled floor, cabinets fly open and are left barely hanging by their hinges, and ingredients spill across the floor as Zaine tears the kitchen apart in a temper, desperate to uncover the source of the aroma emanating from none other than me. I press my back against the wall and squeeze my eyes tightly closed, hoping beyond hope to somehow sink into the cold plaster and disappear. My heart pounds in my chest drowning out the ruckus. I can hear his laboured breaths as he closes in on his target, me. I open one eye out of morbid curiosity, only to see his eyes staring right at me, burning with his basal desire to take his mate. I have nowhere to run.

“You.” He stares right at me and licks his lips as if he can taste my scent. “Out of my way, woman.” He gives Mrs Crook his signature ‘Don’t fuck with me’ look. She stands her ground and I can see her hands trembling as she holds them out in front of her.

“Please Alpha Zaine, she only turned this morning, give her some time to digest this. She can’t even access the mind link yet. Can’t you see, she is terrified” Mrs Crook pleads my case, but I don’t need time, I need to escape. I should have run this morning when I had the chance. It would be better to be out there amongst the rogues than to be bound to him for the rest of my life, however short it may be.

“Step aside. I will not repeat myself again, do you understand?” Zaine leans in to Mrs Crook’s ear and delivers a warning dripping with the threat of bloodshed. All I can do is watch as she steps aside. I don’t blame her, he wouldn’t think twice about following his threat through to its bloody end, not after all of his fruitless searching. He has finally found his prey and only a fool would stand between him and his prize.

Cornered and defenceless, I brace myself for the worst. Zaine is known for his dominating nature, and I am certain that if he doesn’t want to kill me, he will want to stake his claim, regardless of my feelings, that is the way it goes. The goddess fates you to one mate only and the rest is history as they say.

To my surprise, when his piercing blue eyes lock with my plain, dull brown ones, a flicker of lusty possessiveness crosses his face. I curse the moon goddess as my legs threaten to buckle beneath me, why did she have to make us so subservient to our mates?  

Before I can react, his strong arms cage me against the wall, the muscles either side of my face flex ripple, his voice, laced with authority, rumbles through me. “You are mine, Little Omega. The moon goddess has spoken.” I’m not shocked that he doesn’t know my name, but the fact that he would announce his intentions in front of the entire kitchen staff and his Beta, Luca, who had followed him in here in a vain attempt to calm the beast, rocks me to my core. I had been holding onto the hope he would find out what I am and end my suffering.

My anger surges, overriding my fear and any sense of self preservation. I glare up at him, my body propped against the wall with only my shaking legs holding me up and shame burning in my cheeks, knowing he, and every other male in the kitchen can smell my body’s betrayal. What my body craves because of this stupid mate bond, and what I want, are two very different things.

How dare he come crashing in here and declare that I am his? Only yesterday he would have killed me without a second thought. After everything I have suffered, everything he has knowingly put me and my friends through, he thinks I am so weak that I would be a slave to my primal urges, and by extension to him. I don’t think so. The mate bond can kiss my day old, furry arse. 

“I could never accept a man who treats his pack, especially the omegas, with such cruelty and indifference, I reject you, Alpha Zaine.” I practically spit the words in his face which is only inches away from my own. It’s not the smartest thing I have ever done, but the look on his face was worth whatever comes next. Pure shock. He stiffens for a second and blinks rapidly as he digests what has just happened. Nobody has ever spoken out against him and I have I feeling I will be the only fool in history to do so.

Fury twists his features, darkening his expression. There he is, Alpha Zaine, in all of his glory. In an instant his hands move to grip my arms, his long fingers dig into my flesh so deeply I know it will bruise. Without warning or another word, he drags me out of the kitchen, and my screams of protest fall on deaf ears. Nobody would dare stand in his way, not even Luca.

My wolf would not allow me to say the words of a formal rejection, and I am not strong enough to fight her on that, but I will fight him until he either kills me or rejects me himself.

Locked in the room next to his, rage burns under my skin. His parting words as he shoved me inside, that ‘I should be thankful he has not cast me out of the pack’, only add fuel to the fire that burns inside me. How dare he think he can lock me away like some kind of prisoner? Although I suppose I have been his prisoner in one way or another for the better part of the last eight years. I pace back and forth, my feet sinking into the plush cream carpet, my wolf paces along inside me, her growls of discontent mirroring my own frustration.

After a few minutes my boiling anger calms to a simmer and curiosity takes its place. Why does Zaine want me? After the way I acted, I should be dead. If he despises omegas so intensely, why would he even consider mating with one, whether the moon goddess has fated us to be together or not?

The questions gnaw at my mind, but I already know the answer. He needs an heir, and a pup from a fated mate, even one as low on the totem pole as I, would be better accepted than one from a chosen mate. That must be his intention, to hold me captive, breed me for a couple of Alpha pups, then discard me when I am no longer of use to him. That sounds about right, Sophia, the disposable mate.

I will never give him a pup. I refuse to secure the future of a pack that has forsaken its most vulnerable members. Locked away or not, I will find a way to free myself and after that I will leave this place, along with anyone who wishes to join me. I am grown now, I have my wolf, and I finally have the ability to make choices about my own future.

This is a great story. Great characters. It started very strong. Towards the middle it dragged a little but still very interesting storyline. Now it’s back full force. I think the story is coming full circle. Every update leaves you wanting more. Only wish the author would update more frequently.

Chapter Two
Sophia’s POVI stand in silent shock in the centre of the locked room for what must be a good hour or so. My eyes scan the opulent surroundings that hold me captive. The walls are adorned with intricate patterns of vines and leaves, bringing a touch of the outside world into this gilded prison. Soft sunlight filters through the pale green voile curtains, casting a warm orange glow over the room. In any other circumstance it would be the kind of room I would enjoy.No amount of luxurious decor can mask the fact that this is still a prison, a luxurious cage designed to keep me under Zaine’s control and within his reach. This room is usually reserved for visiting alphas and their Luna, only the best for the best. I have cleaned it on a handful of occasions and often daydreamed that I would have had a room something like this. In another life perhaps.The pack must be seen as one of power and influence, and this display of wealth and comfort is all part of the show. It is the polar opposi

Chapter Three
Zaine’s POVI sit at my desk, rapping my pencil against the highly polished dark oak, my emotions swirling in a maelstrom of anger and disbelief. I barely got a wink of sleep last night. Between dealing with the rogues who once again tried their luck at the southern border and my wolf pining for his mate, I don’t think I managed to steal more than twenty minutes.I felt the second her mind link with me formed. Soon after that our bond became stronger and I knew there was no point in fighting the will of the moon goddess. I hadn’t planned on fighting the mate bond, but her utter disgust and declaration that she would never accept me, made me wonder if this is a fight worth enduring.I could feel Sophia’s turmoil inside me as if it was my own. She is hurting deeply, and the physical pain it caused me was a shock, to say the least. She hates me, so why is it that I feel like the arsehole in this situation? I didn’t choose her, just like she did not choose me. A higher power has seen fit

Chapter Four
Sophia’s POVThe bathroom shares a wall with his room and as the cool water rains down on me, forcing my tired body to wake up, I hear his door click closed. There must be two, maybe three feet between us, physically at least. Mentally and emotionally, we are separated by a giant, bottomless chasm.Physically, the mate bond is screwing me over. The whole time he was stood in front of me I had my legs tightly crossed at the knees and my arms folded over my chest in some ridiculous attempt to hide my body’s reaction to him.I have spent years daydreaming and fantasising about the day I found my mate. I didn’t really think it would ever happen, the only men I ever see are Mr Fulch, who is happily mated, Luca, let’s just say I’m not his type and he has a colourful reputation amongst some of the unmated men in the pack, and Zaine’s other Beta, George. George is a dick.The only times we see either of the betas is when they come into the kitchen every morning to give us our orders for the d

Chapter Five
Zaine’s POVThe look on Torrin’s face is one of shock and fear when I come to stop at the top of the stairs and see Sophia sobbing in his arms. Well, not in his arms exactly, they are hanging limply at his sides, but she is pressed up against his chest and he is just stood there, still and silent as if cast in bronze.My wolf tries to leap out of me before my foot even hits the top step. He wants to shred the man limb from limb until only ribbons of his flesh are scattered up and down the corridor. I supress the shift and keep him caged inside my own body, but his roar escapes from my throat and the sound is primal, possessive, a warning.“My mate. Mine.” he growls and snarls inside my skull, pissed that I won’t let him free.Torrin hurriedly starts explaining why my mate is clinging to him like a limpit, and after the first few words my beast is calmed somewhat. At least he stops clawing at my insides trying to get out. She was concerned, for me. She feels our mate bond more than she

Chapter Six
Zaine’s POVThere is a shadow side to running a pack, things an Alpha needs to do for the greater good. If I back down from a challenge or refuse, my title would automatically pass to my challenger, I would have shown myself to be weak and unworthy. That will never happen. As much as I piss and moan about the shit I deal with on the daily, I would never give up my pack. My people depend on me, and I am the only one who can look after them the way I do.I am bound by moon magic, rituals and laws, as all of us are, maybe even more so. Sometimes it benefits me greatly, but with the light comes the dark. I have killed to keep us safe, lied and deceived to gain power and land and turned my back on those who needed me out of ignorance, choosing to focus my effort and attention where I stand to gain the most.I have the power to change only one of those things, and by doing so I am stirring up a pot which has sat undisturbed and calm for far too long. When the shit undoubtedly bubbles to the

Chapter Seven
Zaine’s POVThe shower washes away the evidence of my weak will, and my legs regain their stability. I wrap a towel around my waist, tuck it in tightly and step into the bedroom with as much nonchalance as I can muster.I didn’t think to take clean clothes in there with me and Sophia looks over as I pull open drawer after drawer and select some jeans, a t-shirt, a pullover hoodie and socks. I feel the heat of her stare boring into the back of my head and her eyes wandering over the ink on my back. She probably knows what I was doing to myself, she isn’t an idiot and our bond may be fragile and frayed but it is there, she must have felt something.I felt It, her climax when she... no... I can’t allow my imagination to go there or I’ll be back in the bathroom, cock in hand, wanking myself into oblivion. Have some fucking restraint Zaine, I yell at myself in my head. My beast rolls around, cracking up with laughter. I’m glad he finds my suffering amusing. I have never been so aroused, no

Chapter Eight
Zaine’s POV This morning I had planned on taking Sophia to the southern border and showing her what is left of the rogues after they were stupid enough to attempt another breach. My intent was not to scare her, but to show her the very real threat that prowls the forest waiting for any opportunity to strike. I thought if she saw them, she might understand what drove me to that heinous act which solidified her opinion of me. It doesn’t make it right, but she might somehow see it from my side. After hearing the way she spoke of death when she asked about Quincy, I’m glad I thought better of my stupid plan. Even if she wasn’t averse to death, I would likely have made myself even more of a monster in her eyes. I will only show her the good from now on, she has seen enough of the darkness, felt it when her parents died. I had only had my wolf for a few years when they were killed. I don’t remember them specifically, but I do remember that winter. We lost dozens in one of the biggest assa

Chapter Nine
Zaine’s POV“You, built this.” She gasps as she surveys the open plan kitchen,dining and living area. I don’t know if I should be flattered or offended that she doesn’t believe me capable. To be fair, when I look around this place, I sometimes struggle to believe I built it too.“Do you like it?” I can hear the eagerness for her approval in my own voice. What is happening? I have never sought the approval of anyone other than my parents. I want her to love this place as much as I do. She doesn’t answer but I catch her nodding her head yes out of the corner of my eye and some of the weight lifts off my chest.I can imagine us living here. Would she tend the garden? I dont know what she enjoys, if she has any hobbies or passions. My mother spent every waking hour outside with her herbs and flowers. Each morning there would be a freshly cut bouquet on the breakfast table and I would pretend not to notice as my father whispered sweet nothings in mother’s ear as she cooked breakfast. I was

Chapter Ten
Sophia’s POVI’m drowning, fighting for every breath as his lips stray ever closer to my marking spot. He could do it. I wouldn’t stand a chance of stopping him or fighting him off. Would I even want to? I know I should but what he is doing right now feels so… so… good.He did keep his promise to free the omegas. He went above and beyond what he had vowed in my room. He said he would wait for me to be ready, that he wouldn’t do anything I didn’t ask for.I did nod my approval when he caught my eye in the mirror. What was I agreeing to? I had no idea. I did feel something deep inside me, a niggling sensation, a shard of trust digging at my better sense. How can he earn my trust if I don’t give him enough rope to hang himself?He has given me all of the control and I have three options. Keep us here in purgatory, neither of us making a move in either direction. Reject him, try to move on and not reopen old wounds. Or, I could accept him and resign myself to whatever the fates have in st
