01| The beginning of torture

Lilith remained in her cold cell. Just a week ago,she could have swore that such would never have been her fate. She craves to see the man who had collared her neck, and declared her his slave in front of everyone, including her own people. but, nevertheless, she also craves to see the sky again, and feel the normal cold breeze. At least anywhere that isn't were she is imprisoned, and stuck.

In front of everyone, he had called her his. And bring a frail omega princess who was yet to realize her powers and special abilities yet from her pendant, she could do nothing to him.

A chill went down Lilith's arms, as she recalled the hatred that dripped from his eyes just the very first day he saw her. What had she done, and what exactly was the levity of her father's sin that such could become of a man.

One week ago, Lilith could stand tall, because she was the daughter of the greatest alpha who ever loved. She was feared and respected by all even as an omega because of her father's powers and influence, and she definitely saw nothing wrong about that.

The chain collar on her neck made her completely uncomfortable, but Lilith saw this as her companion and Fate. It was the only thing apart from the bunk bed that remained in the same room with her.

Her father had been killed by Alpha Lucien and right before her very own eyes. Lilith more than anyone knew the reason for this deep hatred in his heart.

Her father was wicked, and merciless and so she wasn't surprised that whatever he had done to the man who hated her so much and made her his property, she was definitely going to pay for it all.

"Your meal is here" A cold voice stated outside the cell, making her voice echo in the dark cell.

Lilith crawled towards the cell gate and stared at the lady. Her eyes immediately went towards the floor in fear of being slapped or spat on.

A week ago, this was her… she was being feared this way by her servants and maid and now, one week later she's afraid of a common maid.

Lilith knew better than anyone that everyone in the sliver moon pack hated her to their bones, if they had an opportunity, they would kill her and rip her heart from her chest.

The meal in an old and dusty plate was being dropped on the dirty floor by the servant. Without any sense of shame nor dignity, Lilith grabbed it from outside the cell and dropped it right in front of her.

Like a dog, she knelt down and began muching the food hungrily. Her tears fell across her face with the deepest pain in her heart. Lilith wasn't sure what the Alpha king wanted her for, but one thing she was so sure of, was that she would be the one to pay for the sins of her father, and her pack. Just herself.

She sniffed in the liquid that almost fell from her nose and continued with the rotten food she was eating.

The manly voice of the wolf in charge of Lilith cell announced the presence of the king, but Lucien gave him an angry look.

"Do not announce my presence to a lowly slave, especially one who from the red moon pack" Lucien said and walked in, his footsteps racing the same pace with Lilith's heartbeat.

He smirked without any emotion watching her munch hungrily. This was what he always dreamt of- to see the red moon pack suffer right under his leadership, to have their lives at the tip of his fingers, and to watch them plead for mercy for the rest of their lives till he finds them useless and do away with them.

Lilith raised her head and stared into his velvet eyes, misery, victory and pain were visible in his eyes. Her wolf Mira was the saddest for being mated to someone who would destroy it's life, to someone who would treat her this way. But, neither of them to do everything.

"Not every princess deserves a good life, with so many jewels and servants around herself." She heard him say.

Lilith was sure she had heard something say this in the past, but she couldn't recall who had told her this years ago.

He stalked closer to her, bent down and ran his hand through her blonde hair roughly.

He grabbed it tight, and yanked hard, forcing her head back and forcing her to stare into his eyes.

"Right at the snap of my finger, you will bow to my every command as my slave, and I would do with you whatever I please" Lucien announced holding the iron door of her cell and watching her kneel before him.

"Yes my king"

"Do not ever call me your king, I am not your king and would never be your king" The Alpha said raging. His cold words and bloody eyes sent cold shivers down her spine.

"I understand," Lilith replied, afraid to look the Alpha in the eyes. She never further knew that the worst was coming her way.

"Bring her along" The Alpha said to two wolves standing right beside him. Whatever he wanted to do with her, he couldn't do it at such a filthy place.

She raised her head when she heard his command, relieved a bit that she was finally going to see the sky once again.

Lilith gladly followed them and when her eyes came upon light, she smiled beautifully trying to enjoy the beauty of the sky.

As Lilith walked behind the Alpha, a young lady dressed more like a wealthy princess came towards the Alpha bowing in respect.

The Alpha nodded in response to her greetings and turned to look at his servant behind her.

"The Alpha of the Alfanso pack has arrived, and he awaits your presence" A young servant said bowing his head in respect.

Lucien looked at the young lady standing in front of him, and it immediately crossed his mind that she was Alpha Jagger's daughter.

"Greetings, I'm Elsa. Daughter of Alpha Jagger" lady Elsa said, raising her head to look at his velvet eyes which to her were beautiful.

Lucien nodded again, he looked behind him to see Lilith waiting in silence, and when he cleared his throat, the servant behind Lilith immediately understood what he wanted.

The servants behind her roughly grabbed her arms and continued walking forward, but as much as Lilith wanted to understand what was going on and why she was being taken away, she remained silent unwilling to ask any question for fear of being tortured.

Alpha Lucien continued walking, with his hands behind his back like a tyrant king while Elsa remained close to him. He understood that it was going to be an arranged marriage, but her current attachment got him a bit irritated.

When Lucien got to his throne room, he was greeted by another great Alpha.

"Welcome" He greeted and Alpha Jagger stood up to respond.

Lucien sat down on his throne and signaled the Alpha to also take his seat.

"The Alfanso pack got to know of your success in taking over the red moon pack. Congratulations on your expansion Alpha, but to become stronger you'll need us by your side. Take this marriage between you and my daughter as the perfect opportunity, for I am willing to make my daughter your bride" Alpha Jagger exclaimed and cleared his throat adjusting his buttocks properly on the chair.

Alpha Lucien smirked, and afterwards chuckled. "Point of correction Alpha Jagger, you need me" He retorted, for he didn't want to act weak in front of another Alpha especially when he had just been made the strongest Alpha.

"Tomorrow at dawn, your daughter gets to live in the palace as my bride to me, just like a princess she is, she would be treated like one here. The marriage plans would not take place anytime soon till I decide and once I find her attractive, I'll inform you" Alpha Lucien said with the coldest voice.

He stood up from his throne, "I'll take my leave now, I have other urgent matters to attend to" Lucien said and walked away without remorse. He carried his feet like a king and immediately he got to the entrance, the door opened.

Hours later

Alpha Lucien laid on his bed with his hands assisting the back of his head to touch the hard wood of his bed. Even the wood used to make his bed was tough enough, and unlike every other strong Alpha, Lucien preferred laying on something as hard as a rock in order to think properly.

His mind suddenly and wickedly drifted to Lilith, and his hatred were remembered.

He stood up from his bed and placed a big black robe on his body before walking towards the door.

Lilith laid on the cold floor ignoring the bunk bed close to the wall. She had been trained to sleep in large and comfortable rooms with everything she needed close to her reach, but right now and from now on, she has no right to make a choice of what she wants.

"The Alpha requests your presence" Baski, an older woman who was in her late 60 with a mother figure said holding the iron door of Lilith's cell.

Lilith's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She immediately stood up from the floor and walked forward holding the iron.

"Have I done anything wrong" She asked with her voice filled with fear.

"No child," Madam Baski replied. Unlike every other members of the silver moon pack, there wasn't any hatred for Lilith in madam Baski's heart, but instead, she wished Lucien would let go of his hate for the young child, and set her free.

"Come with me" Madam Baski said and opened the cell.

Lilith heaved deeply and walked out of her cell. The air was quite different outside. She could inhaled fresh air outside, but not there in her cells.

She followed behind madam Baski till they both got to the entrance of a large room and madam Baski gently knocked.

The door slightly opened when Madam Baski turned the door knob. Though, she turned backwards to prevent herself from beholding the site of the room, she nodded at Lilith to walk in and go attend to the Alpha.

Lilith, as instructed walked in trying to be as bold as possible, but her heart was clouded with fear and hatred for Lucien instead. She recalled the sad look on madam Baski's face, and it immediately sent cold shivers down her spine, but she braced herself up for the worst to come.

His cold eyes didn't leave her, "Tell the servants to bathe my slave, get her clean and have her back in my room in an hour time" Lucien Instructed two men standing at the entrance of the door.

Lilith turned to leave his room without uttering a word to him. As the door open, she looked back at him for a second before following the two men.

In an hour time, she walked in, being escorted by another maid instead. Lilith's eyes focused on the Alpha, with anger and hate in her teary eyes. Defiance in her stance.

Lucien stalked towards her and grabbed her neck firmly,"I will pay you back everything your father deserve, and you will forever remain in misery as long as your alive here."

Fear was almost an entity in Lilith's eyes, but instead she didn't allow it show on her eyes because she knew this would happen even before she walked in the second time.

"I will hurt you so much." She heard him say again

She remained silent, and even at that, her silence irritated him so much, but he didn't let it show in his eyes.

He tilted her chin up, his grip strong,"You have no idea what I have planned for you." He said to her with a grin, his eyes checking out every part of her body.

"Take off your clothes. You'll serve me tonight." He ordered.
