Chapter 5.

AMBER’S POV

“You are so evil! I hate you old—”

“Hey!” Vermont yelled as he drew closer to the silver bars. He whispered. “This is the end of the road for you, little one. Your days of yelling at me, frustrating and provoking me are all over. I urge you from this day on, accept your fate because there’s nothing you can do about it. You’ve been sold off and there’s nothing you can do about it. You better have one thing in mind. This alpha is a dangerous one. He wants you to bear a child for him. Not just any child, he specifically wants a male child. You should begin praying to the moon goddess to grant you a male child, or else, you will be beheaded and your new mate won’t think twice before drinking your goddamn blood.”

Vermont fixed a wide smirk as he ordered the guards to take me in.

What Vermont said had made me feeble in all parts of my body. I knelt down and faced the floor of the moving cart as tears rolled down my cheeks and dropped to the ground.

I guess Vermont is right, this is actually the end of the road for me. I have to accept that the old man’s plan of selling me off a long time ago has finally been successful today. I can’t escape like I always do today. This isn’t one of his bluffs, this is reality, I thought.

My thoughts made me cry more than the harsh words Vermont had poured on me earlier.

We all entered the palace compound and the enormous alpha was standing and waiting for Vermont’s answer to his question.

“I’m asking you again, Vermont, has she understood what she was brought here for?” Logan grunted.

“Why yes, alpha Logan,” Vermont replied boldly, convinced that he had cleared me on what I was sold for. “ Amber has acknowledged the fact that she was sold off to you to bear forth your child—your male child.”

“With that being cleared, let’s feast and celebrate the woman who would birth the child of the alpha!” Logan exclaimed with his deep bass voice.

The guards escorted us to the hall where all the arrangements had been made for merriment. The huge alpha went and sat on his golden throne while everyone took their seats.

“Release her this instant!” Logan’s voice echoed through the room. “She has to be part of this celebration.”

Two of the alpha’s guards freed me from the cell and sat me down on a chair while the others escorted the cart out of the hall.

Maids holding different classes of food entered into the hall while dancing. One after the other, they all placed their food on the big table before us and began to fully dance. My shameless stepfather, Vermont couldn’t hold himself. He fixed his eyes on one of the maids as she danced and shook her waist to his likeness. After a while, Vermont rose up from his chair and walked towards me.

Vermont bent down to my ear and whispered. “I guess this is the last time we will see each other.  Better behave yourself because I’m in no control of what they’ll do to you if you disobey alpha Logan,” Vermont chuckled. As he patted my shoulder and left the hall.

The ceremony continued and more maidens came into the room, not to dance but to see to it that I enjoyed myself. Five maidens walked up to me and sat beside me.

“Have some chicken, ma’am,” a maid said but I didn’t respond.

“We have wine, my queen. Would you love to have a taste of that?” Another maid implied but I paid no attention either.

They put in more effort to convince me to eat one thing or the other but I was reluctant. My face went pale and my stomach growled in vengeance. That daughter of a cunt, Rose, tricked me and didn’t serve me any food. They forcefully dragged me here the least they could do was feed me. It was nighttime and I hadn’t eaten for the whole day. My heart said one thing but my stomach said another. I figured that if I don’t listen to my stomach, my heart might as well stop due to hunger. I gave in and had some chicken.

The ceremony was over and the maidens escorted me to my new room. I entered the room as my eyes explored through the enormous room. I had never seen a room this big before. Even Vermont’s room would be added with three more rooms the size of his before it would be compared to this one. My room in my palace was never this big. This room is enormous. The bed in this room is so big, I could organize a party in this room and after the party we would all share the bed. The bed could hold about eight werewolves and the werewolves would sleep comfortably.

I sat on the bed and clenched my fingers on it. I’ve never felt a bed this soft in my life. The bed was also really bouncy and comfortable. My tears had dried up on my cheeks and my eyelashes were moist with my tears. I had totally forgotten about my sadness and began to bounce carelessly on the soft bed. The doorbell rang.

“Come in,” I permitted, unbothered by who my unknown visitor was.

A slender tall woman with nice shape and blue-colored eyes walked into my room. She wore a tight white dress which showed her nice curves. Her lips, red, telling a story about her attractiveness. Her hair was long and red and her fangs were also red like the rest of the members of the pack and their beloved alpha.

“Good evening, ma’am,” she greeted as she gestured a bow. “I am your gamma and I’ll be of service to you from now on. You may call me whenever you need me and I’ll appear in less than a second.”

The beautiful tall beta left the room and suddenly, a huge figure that I was familiar with, walked into the room.
