The Sins of the Father
. . . It is funny how life changes in a single second, one moment you are at the top of the world , in rainbows and sunshine and the next day in a twinkle of an eye everything comes crashing down like a collapsed building, it would have been different if my misfortune were to have been caused by my own hands but rather it wasn't, and it hurts to suffer because I was the spawn of the so called enemy, I was simply paying for a crime I did not commit, the Sins of the father are passed on to the sons or rather in my case, unto the daughter. I once treasured the home that brought me peace and joy, the home of my birth, the home where I had all my memories, the home where I was among the people I belong with , the home of my family, the home of my pack, my clan and now this home had become my personal prison, a nightmare, a cage where I have been cast into and a place where I was now treated like a piece of trash, less than a werewolf of my birthright, and less than a person, my pack members that once cherished me and treated me like a princess now treated me like a slave that was tainted with blood from head to toe. I was now an Omega of the lowest level in the pack's history. All the household and maintenance burdens of the packmembers now fell on me and only me, no help given, I was not allowed to receive help of any kind, it would be a taboo, not that anyone would even help me to even begin with. I, Louisiana Reynolds the once cherished daughter of the Former Beta Darius Reynolds and daughter of RedSand Pack now an Omega, a slave, reduced to nothing and no one but a rotten pest of the pack with nothing but a stained blood, the blood of evil. I clearly remember the day my life turned upside down, it was the same day my father was killed, Darius Reynolds my father and the former beta of the pack had lost his mate, my mother Rita Reynolds who died at childbirth at exactly three years ago from today. Usually it was rare for a werewolf to die during childbirth but my mother had always been weak, she had been born as a weak pup and it was only a miracle that she had been able to live up to the age that she lived which was age forty-five. That day my father had lost his pup, and his mate, while I had lost my mother and my brother. As a werewolf, losing your mate was very excruciating and almost impossible to heal from but my father was strong, and at that time I commended his strength, the entire pack commended his strength as well, but we were all wrong, my father had only been good in hiding his pain when he was in front of people, because he was an authority in the pack, the Second in command of a pack that housed almost three hundred wolves , males, females and children. My father had fallen deep into his grief and I was in my own grief, mourning the loss of my mother not to have realized that my father would have been having it worse, I neglected him, his needs and I slowly watched him unknowingly slip into the state of madness until he had committed the greatest offense of all time in werewolf laws, my father had raped and brutally murdered another man’s mate and to make things worse, the female that had been murdered had been blessed with a pup but my father snatched that blessing away from her fated mate, he ruined lives, he ruined the packs reputation and eventually ruined my life. I remember the day, I was dragged to the square to be judged alongside my father, a spawn of the devil was the devil, that had been the words of my Alpha, Alpha Samuel, an Alpha that had once cherished me like a daughter, an Alpha that had once thought I would be mate to his son Williams when we turned eighteen, had spat on me and treated me with disgust that day. The most painful thing of all in our trial was that my father had died a madman, he had no idea of what he had done up until his death, even up onto the moment his head was ripped off from his body, he had no idea what he had done and he couldn't even recognize me as his daughter, as I wailed and cried profusely at the tragedy before me. I remember the look on Alpha Kaden's face, he was quite young, probably four to five years older than I was, he was the Alpha of Blood Sun pack, a pack that housed up to a thousand werewolves , one of the most strongest pack in the world, the most feared Alpha in the region and sadly the mate of whom had been raped and killed by my own father, he was present when they ripped out my father's head from his body and when my father's lifeless head tumbled on the ground , he turned to face me, there was this redness in his face, this unquenchable anger deep in his eye balls and at that moment I knew I would be the next to feel his wrath, but I was wrong, he looked at me with so much hatred and disdain for longer than I could count before he transformed into his black beast wolf and dashed into the forest. Where did everything go wrong, how did a peace treaty visit turn into a bloody mess, my Alpha , Alpha Samuel has his own way to ease the burden and damage that was brought on Blood Sun Pack for the loss of their Luna by publicly stripping me naked for the whole pack to see and flogged me with wolfs bane laced chains multiple times across my bare back that still today I c couldn't think to remember, the scars of the flogging still painted across my back like a disgraced animal. I remember the sight and the smell of my blood and me calling out for help from my pack members but no one came to my rescue unless they were ready to face the wrath of our Alpha and potentially that of Alpha Kaden. Alpha Samuel had stripped me off my title as a Beta blood and downgraded to an Omega, the lowest of the lowest and an Omega I shall remain still I die. I knew then that I would never have a mate, my mate would be quick to reject me if my past was ever known to him. I was now a damage person, a curse that will be slaved all day round in Redsand pack. **** I stared at the half moon, as I laid on the floor of the dungeon beneath the pack house of my pack, The sun would soon rise and my wolf itched for a run. It had been a while since I was able to transform actually it had been three years , since I had changed to my wolf form, since I had been condemned to a life as an omega and a pack slave, I had been fed little amount of wolfs bane to suppress my wolf and as a result I have not been able to feel my wolf properly and transform even if I had the opportunity to and it has also been three years since I have been able to mind link anyone in my pack and them back to me , not that anyone would want to in the first place and I am sure that the reason for the loss of my mind linking abilities was also as a result of the wolfs bane in my blood. This dungeon has been my home since the tragedy, every day at the break of dawn, I am released to the open to do my chores around the pack and when I was done, I would be escorted back by one of the pack guards whom doesn't spare any opportunity to manhandle and mistreat me at any given time. I turn twenty one soon and I have been living this life of pain. There has not been a day throughout these three years I had not dreamed and wished everything to be a mere dream as I slept at night but as the burning sun rays hit my skin each morning and I wake up to the cold dungeon floor reality sets in again, a bitter reality indeed. "Hey!, Get up!" the guard snapped as the pulled open the gate of the dungeon forcefully, too forcefully as a matter of fact that my body jerked up in surprise. The bulk guard marched into the my dungeon walls with a suspicious smile on his face that brought shiver down my spine, I know then what is to come, his sickening smile widened, he derived pleasure from watching the fear that was to come from me "lie down!" He snapped and I gasped outwardly unable to control the panic that was rising within me "Please" I begged, I know I shouldn't at this point, this had been a routine for a year now still I begged hoping that he would spare me but every time I was wrong and I know this time, I would also be wrong. "You beg every time " he laughed manically before saying afterwards "Your tears brings me pleasure” and he drags me roughly pushing me to the ground as he immediately gets on top of me and raises up my beaten down dress up to expose my feminine parts before unzipping his trousers , my heart rate rises as the tears run down my cheeks and the pain of violation itched in my skin. The rubs his fingers in my clitoris forcefully and I let out a scream. "Shut up or I will kill you!" he snapped and he released his member cupping it in his hands as he pumped his parts and rubbed violently but there was no penetration, it was like he was saving it each time, he groans louder as hot tears ran down my cheeks. This has been a routine for the passed one year at least one time in a week and thrice at most , I know I should be thankful that he had not taken my true virtue yet but he had definitely taken my purity and after some minutes or so of groaning and continuous pumping he brings his member to my face and releases himself on my cheeks and just like that a piece of my dignity is stripped from me again and at that moment I solely desired the death he was so willing to offer me earlier.2. The Wolves Talk .… "Look, I brought her in one piece as usual," the guard said with a sickening smirk on his face as he threw me across the room until I landed on the tiled floor of the pack house kitchen. I imagined how I looked, laying helpless on the kitchen floor, drained of life and light. But these people could care less about how I looked or how I felt. They have made that known to me countless times over the past three years. It's strange how circumstances can reveal people's true feelings towards you. Those who stay with you in both good times and bad times are your true friends. The quick betrayal of the Redsand pack baffled me. They turned against me in the blink of an eye, even though they weren't directly involved in the wrongs committed. It was as if they had a hidden rage before the tragedy, and that event triggered a chain reaction that brought about my suffering. "Good, Sean! You sure took your damn good time," the kitchen head, Vera, spat as she stared at me in
A little freedom . . I was sent back to the dungeons after I finished the day's work, after I finished with serving in the halls I was assigned to the cleaning of the kitchen which had been my normal job in the kitchen to begin with. All the while I was doing my chores Vera had this joyful smile drawn across her slightly wrinkled face as she watched me slave away my bones, I was sure there and then that the whole serving fiasco was all her idea, her idea to make herself feel good and to make me feel the worst of myself than I already felt and sadly she had succeeded, watching them in that pack hall taught me lot of lessons but the one that stuck out the most was that their lives were going perfectly well, all the pack members were living their best lives, they were happy while I was living a life of suffering and torment. After I had finished with the kitchen, I proceeded with cleaning and moping of the pack house all by myself, the pack house was over three-story building with
4. Friends of the past part One . . . "I see the dress fits you perfectly. I had to go down a few sizes considering how much weight you've lost," Diana said with a smile as she entered my room, catching me off guard. I turned my head away from the window where I had been lost in thought, contemplating my problems. I stared at Diana without responding to her comment. She used to be my best friend, my sister, but now I was supposed to be her personal slave. Diana had become even more beautiful since the last time I saw her. She had matured into a woman, losing her girlish figure and demeanor. Her presence exuded strength, and she carried herself with confidence, as if seeking to assert dominance. I couldn't tell if it was intentional or if it had simply become a part of her over the years. Regardless, there was no need for her to dominate me. I was nothing, no one. There was no need to display power to a girl who had nearly lost her connection to her wolf. Diana's blonde hair was
Friends of the past Two... "I want you to call me Diana, Anna not mistress or madam or whatsoever. You are not my slave, I know a lot has happened but we are still friends are we not?" There was a quiver in her words like she was the one that was dealing with a broken heart and a broken life. "I can't mistress" I declared, I truly couldn't, it was not about my pride or anything else, rather I was embarrassed at the situation, I cannot simply act like three years had not breeze past us and I had not been locked up for three years in the same pack she lived in. "We are not friends, not anymore, so I cannot call you by your name Madam " I added though each words felt like a dagger to my chest Diana immediately grabbed my hands, enclosing them in hers. But almost as soon as it happened, I pulled my hands away from her and took a few steps back, creating distance between us. I bowed my head down once again. "What happened to you?" She asked and my head immediately snapped back up,
The mate dance part One ... I never imagined that in this lifetime I would witness the RedSand pack buzzing with such activity. The preparation for the Mate Dance was treated as if the president of the country or the Alpha King himself was gracing our presence. Alpha Samuel spared no expense to ensure that the Mate Dance Ceremony would go flawlessly. Pack workers scurried around in a frenzy, creating a chaotic scene. Fortunately, as Diana's appointed personal servant, I was spared the burden of working on the preparations for the grand event. Instead, I utilized whatever free time I had from attending to Diana's needs to plan my escape from this place. Although Diana rarely assigned me tasks, I had to create them for myself to avoid arousing suspicion among the pack members. Diana was kind, but the rest of the pack was not, and I refused to let her generosity lead me to greater harm in the future—assuming I didn't succeed in escaping on the night of the event. I struggled hard t
The Mate dance part two...I smiled weakly as Diana's words touched me, like a mother comforting her child. Diana was truly motherly, and she would eventually be a good mother to her pups. It's funny how we were both the same age, but she seemed to have advanced psychologically over these three years. "Thank you," I said, tears glistening in my eyes, but I held them back. I would not cry anymore for my predicament. My freedom was here, and I would take it. "No need to thank me. You deserve more than I can offer, Anna," Diana cooed, her eyes shone with sincerity. **** Maybe choosing to shop with Diana was a wrong idea. I had imagined that tailing Diana around the pack would be tiring, but I stand to be corrected. Shopping with Diana was proving to be even more challenging. But as challenging as it was, it brought delight to my soul as I watched Diana giggle over every dress that caught her eye. "You have to try this one," that was the nth time Diana had said to me as she pushed
A glitch in my story . . . The moment was finally here. I was extremely tense, but I was still doing a good job of hiding it from Diana, who still had not suspected a thing, even till now. I silently praised my perseverance. Diana was busy gushing about how perfect everything in the field where the mate dance was to be held looked, and truthfully, it was breathtaking. It looked like a wedding in the forest, except it was not a wedding but still a celebration of love when mates find each other. A part of me wished I could fully be part of the mating ceremony. I could put on that blue dress in complete happiness as I awaited my other half. Instead I feigned happiness while I was seated patiently, all dressed up in the beautiful blue dress, while Diana painted my face to what she called perfection. I was yet to see her final work on my face "Perfect!" Diana exclaimed as she finally stepped away, allowing me to look at myself in the mirror beside me. "So, what do you think?" she a
A glitch in my story part two ... "Oh my goodness! Is that you, Louisiana?" Luna Tamara almost screamed. I was confused. Was she just noticing my presence? She made sure to ignore me when I served them in the dining halls. "Good evening, Luna Tamara," I calmly bowed. "Wow, I haven't seen you in ages. You have made yourself scarce around the pack after your father's death," she said, and I stared at her blankly, even more confused. Have I made myself scarce? Or has the pack made sure that I am always scarce by imprisoning me? I wanted to scream at her, but I couldn't. "I was ashamed of my father's sin," I replied, biting my lips so hard that they almost bled. "Your father's sins are not yours to bear," she replied, and I grew even more confused. Was she not aware of what I have been going through in the pack? "Enough of your pain, my dear. You should be happy now," she added, and my heart broke. "Enough, Tamara. Let the girl be," the Alpha finally stepped in, cutting short the
CHAPTER OF WEREWOLF PRIESTESS..."Mistress!, Alpha Kaden sent words of a crowning ceremony for his new Luna, he wants you to perform the rites" Fia said bowing her head slightly. I was never used to her display of respect and even till now I still wasn't, but Fia idolized me, she was an orphan I had picked up at age five in the woods almost eighteen years ago , her parents had been slaughtered by rogues on unclaimed territory, they were most likely traveling somewhere or escaping from something or somewhere but I could never know, it was not in my fate to know— yet she appeared slightly older than I am, the curse of youthfulness glaring at me in the face. "The moon goddess prophecy was right after all, when is she ever wrong" I smiled at my handmaiden but deep down I felt slightly conceited, I served the moon goddess but I had conflicted feelings about her, of why she had deemed my kind unworthy of ever getting a mate. "When does he plan on holding the ceremony?" I asked "In thre
How it all ends . . . You found me. I mind link Kaden. You helped, your dream helped us locate you. He responded back. I was thankful for that; Williams would finally be stopped. I watched Kaden in his wolf form fighting off the rabid wolves. Something was different. It was similar to when we encountered the rabid wolves on the road. Kaden seemed to know how to defeat these corrupted creatures. Maybe they had found a way. I wanted to join the fight, but I knew it would put Kaden at a disadvantage. I was still weak, and these rabid wolves were stronger than the regular ones. More of the rabid wolves fell to the ground, meeting their deaths. I also saw James, who wasn't in his wolf form but fought well. Williams was nowhere to be seen, and I wondered if he had managed to escape and flee for his life. However, I hoped that wasn't the case. If Williams left, it meant he would return stronger, and the method Kaden had discovered to defeat him might be rendered useless. Soon, al
The Alpha Queen . . . "Williams is Neal's son," I gasped as Tamara concluded her story. Tamara gritted her teeth before confirming my suspicions, "Yes, he is." "Does he know?" I asked curiously. Maybe I was trying to find a reason why Williams had turned out like this. She laughed, "Why do you think he is doing all this?" "What?" I was confused. "You are wrong, Tamara. You caused all this," a strong feminine voice came from the shadows. "Do you think I don't know that, mother?" Tamara snapped. Mother! Mother! My mind screamed. I thought I was alone in the dungeons. If this is Tamara's mother, then this is the Alpha Queen, the missing queen. What was she doing here? Was Williams responsible for abducting his grandmother, the queen? Was he also responsible for killing the king? "I knew your wild nature would yield bad results. Look at yourself, Tamara. You have birthed a monster, a child that has done this to his own grandmother, a son that kills his grandfather, a son that
A glimpse into the past . . . Twenty six years ago... "The mate dance is in three weeks, you will finally get to meet your mate Tamara" Sahara said, looking at her little sister "This whole thing is just weird to me, what if I do not want what the moon goddess has chosen for me" Tamara whined. She has never believed in the moon goddess crazy idea of forcing two strangers together. "The moon goddess makes no mistake" Sahara said. "Then how come you are yet to find your mate. Have you thought of the possibility that your mate might not even exist, maybe he is dead, does that mean you will spend your whole life alone and wondering why you could not get happiness" Tamara reasoned with feistiness in her words. "Tamara—you really should not think that way. Look Reina is happy with her mate" Sahara reasoned as well, her little sister was too wild and she feared that her wild nature might cause harm to her. "Reina looks delusional to me. Don't worry, I will be ready for the mat
The True Sinner . . . "What is the meaning of this Williams?" I ask in confusion, holding onto the bars of the dungeons, I was frightened and confused at Williams behavior, what does he stand to gain by hurting me like this?. Williams had a smirk on his face, it lasted for more seconds than it should have if he was acting normal but he wasn't, none of this was normal, he was giving this sadistic look, the look of a psychopath, was Williams always this evil?, the Williams I had known and grown up with was good, he was nice, though he loved to keep to himself, he was still good, everyone in the pack cherished him for his composure and maturity and now it is sad to say that they were all wrong. "What happened to you?, why are you acting this way?" I ask trying to decipher his thoughts and actions but I knew deep down it was futile, Williams looked her gone, even in this dim light, I could see the evil in his eyes. He turns his smirk to a chuckle before he said "I am doing this
Rabid wolves . . . "Alpha Kaden, when all the preparation are made, you will be summoned for the crowning" Sanders informed my mate, the other councilman gathered behind Sanders. We were currently about to leave the palace. I take a final look at the lovely place but my heart is not saddened that I did not get to properly explore the place, because I know Kaden and I would be back soon. Kaden and the councilman Sanders exchanged a few words, then Sanders bow slightly at us and the other councilmen did the same thing, Kaden acknowledged the gesture with a nod while I gave a soft smile. The palace was finally out of view before I felt like everything that had occurred in the last three days was nothing but a dream and I had just woken up. It was a good distraction from everything, now I was going back to the pack, there was still someone after my life, Ciara was still dead and we had no idea whatsoever who was behind all of it and Tamara might be plotting something, so a war
Two Days and three nights Part Two . . . As I stood at the edge of the vast forest clearing, my senses were overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of the unfamiliar Alpha King burial ceremony. The air was thick with an aura of solemnity and reverence, as if the very trees whispered secrets of ancient rituals. Beside me stood Kaden, my mate and now the heir to the werewolf throne. His presence offered a reassuring anchor amidst the sea of unfamiliar faces, his hand clasping mine tightly, providing both strength and solace. We had traveled from our own pack for a meeting to deliberate on the King's death and the Queen's disappearance but here we are now paying our respects to the fallen werewolf king whose murderer was still unknown , though he was a monarch I had never met but he was one whose legacy loomed large in the hearts of his subjects and Kaden's as well , this king was his uncle after all, and this King reign was a one without war, that was something to really be proud of.
Two days and Three nights Part One . . . The dancing rays of the morning sun illuminates into the skin of my closed eyes causing me to open my eyes due to the discomfort. I sat up immediately noticing that Kaden was not by my side, I was about to call out to him when he stepped out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist and another he used to dry off his presently washed hair. "You are awake, I wanted you to sleep in more" his husky voice reaches my ears sending excitement all around my body. The floral scent of the hair shampoo mixed with his woody scent causing more excitement that I can't even find the perfect words to describe how my body was feeling even if I tried. I realized that this is the first time I am seeing him partially naked in the daytime, with all the glory of the sun illuminating into his skin and on his toned abs and arms, I was shamelessly ogling at him, I knew that and he definitely knew as well, evidence was that a mischievous smirk had sprea
The King's Choice . . . "What!" Luna Tamara immediately jumped off her seat "Our father, the king did not inform us of this" "Sit down Tamara" Sahara finally spoke in a calm manner, Sahara and Tamara did have a lot of similarities that they could even pass as twins, they were both blonde haired like Diana and had striking jaw features, they were both beautiful, lean and tall. Tamara head immediately snapped in her direction at her sister's statement, she was definitely not expecting her sister to speak up, and at least against her. "This has nothing to do with you, you have no son!" Luna Tamara spat as if to torture her if what she lacked. A smile spread across Sahara face, surprising me, and maybe everyone else in the room. "You are mistaken" she said proudly "W-what?" Tamara stuttered, my eyes widened in shock, so did Kaden, no one was expecting that for sure. "I do have a son Tamara, he turns ten next month" Sahara declared in complete and full pride knocking the air
