I cleared my ears with my hand to be sure I was hearing the right thing.
Everybody joined their hands together to clap.
"Whoa, Odetta, Odetta, Odetta" People started shouting and clapping.
They started praising her, At that moment I had gone crazy, everything seemed to happen like a dream.
Tears flooded my cheeks but just then, I cleaned it and walked to the middle, where he was staying.
"You, Lucas, you dared do this to me, you betrayed me, I thought we loved each other, but you did this to me"
Lucas smiled and replied; "So you think I would get married to you?"
"What? We talked about this before we left home, you said you would announce me as your mate"
"I reject you as my mate, Lilliana, what have you got to offer me? Well, Sex, you can be my sex slave, but I choose Odetta with me, to rule over the blackwood pack"
I didn't believe this was coming from him, I was embarrassed, people started laughing at me, and I became a laughing stuff at the mating ceremony
"The moon goddess will judge you, you dared do this to me, you used me, you promised and failed, it was all my fault for not agreeing with your mother"
Tears rolling down my cheeks.
"And do not forget I am the Alpha of this pack, be watchful of whatever you are saying, I rule over you and this pack"
"Really? Is it how the past Alpha does?"
"Do you want to teach me how to rule, please where are the guards" He turned back and saw his guards "Take her, and let her serve as a slave for seven days"
"What?.... Lucas...me?" I screamed out.
I was dragged by the guards and was taken to the slave prison.
Days after, I was always forced to do hard work and whenever I felt tired, I would be beaten hard by the guards.
There was this day, when I was very tired, I was resting.
"What are you doing here? You still haven't gotten used to this place? You should be out cutting trees" The guards with a deep and cold voice uttered.
I managed to stand up, but I was already exhausted.
I was already going when I hit my leg on a stone.

I found myself lying on the bed, I was about to sit comfortably when Lucas came in.
"You are awake? Anyways you can continue to work as a maid"
"Did I faint? What happened to me" I screamed out, as I was about to sit, I started feeling pain in all parts of my body.
"Well if you don't know, you fainted and they have treated you"
"Okay," I said sharply, looking at all parts of my body.
"Well, you would stop being a slave but continue to be a maid, I just want you to know your place, as my new wife, my darling won't accept nonsense from you.
"You, Lucas, Lucas you dared do this to me after all we have been through…."
"Been through? I mean tell me what you have been through? I have been an Alpha before I started using you"
"Before you started using me? So you have been using me" I asked curiously.
"I mean don't you ever sit down and reason? Do you think you can rule this awesome pack with me? So you have been craving to be called Liliana, the Alpha's Lucas wife? And you think it is possible"
"I never planned this, you came, you asked me out, I didn't agree, but later I did"
"But I didn't force you, Did I? So no point in what you have said, moreover I have the right to do what I want with you, you are my maid, who dares question my order? Who dares question what I do? None…"
He was talking, and just then, his wife, Odetta came in.
"What are you discussing with her?" She said, packing her hair to the back.
"I am just trying to let her know she fainted and she can now become a maid"
"Why did you suddenly say she should be a maid? You decided that without consulting me first"
"I am sorry darling" She kissed her and continued; "I just think we shouldn't let her suffer more, she suffered already"
"She has to face the consequence, don't you see how she embarrassed us in the mating ceremony?"
"I am sure she wouldn't repeat that anymore"
My heart was just beating so fast, it was obvious from their discussion that they had been in a relationship since, but why was he playing me?
"Okay, she has to do more work than the other maids then, in fact, she would do their work, I mean all, she needs to learn her lessons and know her place"
She looked at me and then knocked me in my head, before finally leaving.
I have been through a lot. Is suffering meant for only me?
Why is it that I have never had peace? From one trouble to one
I held my hair like I wanted to remove it. I had no one, no family, all I had was myself, I just wanted peace.
****
I continued serving as a maid in the chamber, they made me do all the work the maids are supposed to engage in.
I cried all day and it seemed as if the suffering would be non-stop.
I was about to go and serve Odetta her food when I heard her conversing with Alpha Lucas and his mother.
"You need to get something done, people have been expecting you to get pregnant, and you haven't gotten pregnant since, what's going on"
"We have tried everything mum, we don't know what to do again"
"Mum, I am tired" Odetta uttered.
"I am thinking of even impregnating Liliana and after she has given birth my wife would take care of the child"
"What?" I couldn't believe what I heard.
The food I was holding my hands poured on the floor...I was shivering while standing. why would he want to impregnate me and give my child to his wife? The pains he had caused were enough and I won't let him cause more pain. I won't let him touch me, talk more of having anything to do with me, enough of the pain. I ran back to the kitchen to take something I would use to pack the food. I wasn't in a good state of mind though, but I pretended it happened. I pleaded with the chef to give me another portion of food, which she did. I went to her room, then knocked and she finally told me to enter. I entered and didn't meet anyone, but Odetta, I served her food on the table, and I was about to leave when she called me. "Lilliana" I turned back. "Thank you Lilliana" She stood up from where she sat and came to my front, "Don't you mind sharing my husband with me, you also don't look bad, you are beautiful" I smiled, pretending not to know what's going on "He is not my type anymore
CHAPTER 6Everywhere was dark, cold, and as silent as the night. It was night- a murky, thrilling horror, more like a razor sharp, inhumane sounds of predators that lurks in the shadows.And somewhere in this cold, shadowy world, I laid- discarded and torn apart in my blood and bruises, drawn out from sanity. The breeze washed over my body but I did not feel a thing, didn’t shiver or tremble, instead, I was numb, insensate, distorted from the world’s disturbances. But that wasn’t true, was it? I was disturbed, broken in fact- a conundrum built by tragedy and pain. And it intensified when the belt buckle crinkled, ringing bells that was shrill AND soul-crushing.I guess I should change the conception about myself- Orson Liliana, an unfortunate prey whose bones were crushed under the teeth of its predators.And the predators?

He wants to be with me again. I don't know why he kept returning to my room every morning.He walked inside my room and came to sit down on the bed I lay on. He traced his fingers along my curved body. Letting his finger linger on my tiny and thick legs. He made a room for himself beside me. It has been like this for a year now.He gazed at my eyes as I slept deeply. Allowing his kind eyes to draw him closer to me. He touched and rubbed his hand on my brown straight hair.I woke up and stretched up my body. The first one I always say to him every morning is "Good Morning." I speak with my mouth curved in a circle. "How was your night, my love" I Hurried out, with my words not leaving my mouth as I checked the time on the wall. "It is 7:00 am and you are holding me up like the lady of the house." "You know y
It seems like the world abhorred me, I wasn't even sure if she heard our conversation. What should I do? Tears flooded down my cheeks right in the presence of the Alpha and her mother.Alpha's mother stepped in majestically, with her tiny legs, I wondered if she would ever age. She touched my cheek with her right hand and smiled.This is just from hell to fire, why do I keep suffering every time and day"Are you still here to confirm what I said? Do you expect the truth from him? But you do not have a choice you need to stop being in a relationship with him, you are a weak omega"My eyes were red as I was expecting a reply from Alpha Lucas, he was mute and didn't look worried."The fact that you are a maid didn't even qualify you, or you are being moved by all these fictional stories where the maids get married to the Alpha, this is not a choice but something you must do""I am sorry""You don't need to be sorry, you just have to stop getting close to him, and if you think you would
I knew she was doing all this because of me, tears wanted to fall but I was lucky to control them.Alpha Lucas stepped out majestically and I wondered what he intended to do, to kiss her."Mother, she is not my taste", He said and whispered to his mother's ear.I couldn't even guess what he said to his mother's ears but I was relieved when I heard she was not my taste, it seemed we would end up together now."Okay, I am sorry for disturbing everyone, go back to your work, when the time comes you will know the rightful Luna"I was very happy but I felt for the lady that the Alpha's mother presented, how would she feel after she heard she wasn't my taste? Well, he shouldn't have said it publicly.But I was a little worried too, didn't they know each other before the public announcement? Because how would the Alpha's mother present a strange lady?Well, I am happy he let everyone know he is not interested.I guess I owe him a kiss.I was alone in the maid's room when I heard the sound of
