CHAPTER ONE

HAZEL PRATT

A sudden cascade of cold liquid jolted me from my sleep, leaving me disoriented and staring in shock at my soaked dress. Was there a leak in the ceiling? Was it raining?

“Sleep, that's all she ever does. When will you ever get your work complete? We don't have all day!” Lucian's voice cut through the confusion, making me shrink back in fear.

It hadn’t rained. It was my stepfather, Lucian. He hurled the bucket he had been holding, striking me squarely in the stomach. I winced in pain.

“There's work to be done!” he barked. “Yet you lay here shamelessly and even dare to sleep.”

I glanced around the workload in the kitchen and wondered how they got there. The piles of plates, the soup stains on the floor, flour on the table and soiled dish cloths. I could swear I had tidied up the place before sitting down to rest. Then I may have fallen asleep in the process

But one thing I was certain of was that, I had cleaned up earlier, else how would I dare sleep?

“I-I’m sorry,” I stammered, trying to pull myself together. “I didn’t mean to fall asleep.”

“I'm not your father,” he spat and stared at me with disgust. “Don't you know what time it is? Look at all the mess around.”

“I cleaned up this morning,” I tried to explain.

He glared daggers at me. “Is that so? Then how are all these, here? Who used them? Is it me?” He demanded in a cold tone.

I swallowed and kept mute. How would I explain to him that I had cleaned up and I had no idea how all these happened.

“Answer me!” He snapped.

A lump formed in my throat but I still couldn't find the right words to say. He would never believe me anyways.

Lucian approached me and slapped me hard on the face. “I have told you countless times, to never keep silent whenever I'm asking you questions.”

The tears that had been pricking the corners of my eyes dropped effortlessly and slipped down my cheek. As much as it stung, I couldn't dare place my hand on it or he would slap me twice.

“You have just one job,” Aurora, my step sister, said as she came into view. “Tidy up. That's all papa asks of you and you still can't do it well enough.”

Anger flashed in my eyes as she stared at me, a mischievous glint dancing in her eyes. It was her who had created the mess. That, I was sure of.

“What are you waiting for?” Lucian demanded. “Do you want me to lash you with the whip before you do the right thing?”

“I'm sorry,” I apologised hastily and grabbed a broom. “I'll get busy now. I'll clean the mess.”

Lucian sneered, his face twisted with contempt. “You should be sorry for your life. You’re useless, just like your mother was.” 

His words were a dagger to my heart, the pain fresh every time he spoke of her with such disdain.

Since my mother’s death, Lucian had discarded any pretence of kindness. I was nothing more than a servant in my own home, forced to do all the house chores. 

No one knew my true identity, because I was never introduced to anyone as his daughter. Back then when I was younger, I used to think he was protecting me, at least that's what he told me .

I used to ask my mother why she and Lucian never introduced me to their friends but all they would say to me is that they are trying to keep me safe from the evil of the world.

But they lied. They weren't protecting me. They were embarrassed to have a weakling for a child. It became obvious as I grew.

“Soon, it will be over,” I whispered silently to myself.

It was more of a manifestation than a comfort. In two days I would be eighteen and I would finally have my wolf. Then my life will fall in place as mom had assured. I would get married to the Alpha King and that would be the end of my suffering.

For now, I had to endure.

“Have you told her?” Aurora asked her father, staining the place I had just wiped with her filthy shoes.

My ear perked up at her statement. What could she be hinting at? I was so curious to find out that I forgot I wanted to yell at her for leaving muddy trails on the kitchen floor.

“What is that?” I asked softly.

Aurora grinned. Her very irritating malicious grin sent shivers down my spine and I could tell it wasn't something good. My heart thumped loudly in my chest as I glanced from her to Lucian, waiting for either of them to say something. 

“What's going on?” I pressed, trying to keep my tone low.

“You didn't know?” She teased.

This girl was dumb. If I knew, would I ask her?

I shook my head. “No I don't.”

She squealed in excitement. “I guess that's my father's news to tell.”

As I scrubbed the floor, Lucian’s shadow loomed over me. “I have news,” he said, his voice dripping with malice. “Your sister will be marrying the Alpha.”

I froze, the scrubbing brush slipping from my hand. “What? But it was supposed to be me…”

Lucian’s laughter echoed through the room, cold and cruel. “You? Marry the Alpha? Don’t make me laugh. You’re not fit to shine his shoes.”

Tears welled up in my eyes, but I fought them back, refusing to give him the satisfaction. “What will happen to me?”

A sinister smile spread across his face. “I have a better offer for you. The Rogue King has agreed to take you in exchange for a debt I owe him.”

My blood ran cold. The Rogue King was notorious, a monster who ruled through fear and cruelty. “You can’t do this,” I whispered, my voice trembling.

Lucian grabbed my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes. “Oh, but I can. And I will. You’re nothing to me. Just a means to an end.”

Panic surged through me as his words sank in. I was being sold like a piece of property to a man who was known for his brutality. The room spun as I tried to process the nightmare that had become my reality.

Lucian released me with a shove, and I stumbled back, struggling to stay on my feet. “Pack your things,” he ordered. “You leave tonight.”

****

Tears streamed down my face as I began to pack up my clothes into a small bag. I didn't have a lot so the little would do. I don't know how long I had been crying but the migraine in my forehead could tell It had been for a long while.

I had been denied my position because my mother was no longer alive. I was the chosen one for the Alpha. How did the tables turn so quickly?

Darius the Rogue King was not only notorious but a murderer. He murdered people in cold blood and tortured them, regardless of their gender. Whoever made it to his list of offenders didn't live to see the light of day. I loathed him and feared him.

“No, I can't,” I said to myself. 

I would not let myself be used as an object. As a price for someone's sin. I stared at my small bag and peeked out the window. Dusk was creeping in and I was certain that my step father would soon send for me. And that would be it.

I had to think of something. My life couldn't end this way.

The sound of my door creaking open invaded my thoughts and I turned my head to find Aurora standing at the entrance with a beautiful smile on her face.

For a minute I was lost, staring at her beautiful face. Who wouldn't want her? She had luscious hair, beautiful eyes and a curvy body. Her hands were delicate and she did her skincare. If she wasn't my sister, I would have thought she was royalty. 

Envy gnawed at my insides as I glared at her. I hated her. I was nothing like her. I was a plain Hazel who scrubbed in the kitchen and slept on the floor. There was absolutely nothing beautiful about me.

“Maybe when you're done admiring me, you'll let me know,” she whispered in a soft foreign voice, that sounded nothing like hers.

I shrugged. “Don't do that. It's irritating.”

“My voice, I'm practising. I have to sound soft when I meet the Alpha tomorrow.”

Anger rushed through my veins and I returned my attention to the clothes I was packing.

“You're just going to ignore me?”

I scoffed. “What are you doing here?”

“I see you're all packed up already. I'll miss you so much you know? But that's alright. When I finally become the Alpha’s Luna, I'll ask him to save a spot for you in the kitchen. Every maid has a bed there and they eat good food.”

I wanted to tear her mouth open with my bare hands and ruin her pretty face but I had to keep my cool.

“I'm not a maid,” I said firmly.

“There's no difference,” she said, frowning. “You will crumble, Hazel and I'm sure papa will make sure that happens. You do know what the Rogue King is like, don't you?”

Before I could respond, she walked out, slamming the door behind her.

I sat curled up in a corner with the bag on my lap, waiting for my fate. And that was when it occurred to me. 

There was someone I could turn to for help.

CHAPTER TWOHAZEL PRATTDesperation clawed at me. When the house finally fell silent, I slipped out of my window. I had no idea where I was going, but I knew I had to run. I would rather die than be given to the Rogue King.I ran blindly through the dark, my heart pounding in my chest. Eventually, I found myself heading toward the Beta's house. Things had been awkward between the beta and I since he proposed his feelings to me. I didn't like him romantically so I didn't validate his feelings. But now I was in deep shit and he was the only person I could turn to.I prayed the Moon Goddess would make him help me.When I knocked on Sylvester’s door, he answered with a look of surprise. "Hazel? What a pleasant surprise.”I forced a smile, “Hey Beta Sylvester.”“What are you doing here?”I glanced around me quickly in fear that I was being followed. “Please, may I come in? I will explain.”He led me inside, concern etched on his face. "What brings you here at this hour?”Tears spilled dow

Chapter three
CHAPTER THREEKING DARIUSThe moment I strode into the auction hall, walking majestically toward a seat, the noisy people's attention was suddenly drawn to me and the hall immediately became dead silent. There were whispers and murmurs and while I walked, the men scurried from my path, which I didn't give much attention to. "It's the rogue King"It's him" "What is he doing here?"I could hear their hushed whispers but kept my brow furrowed and my jaw tightened while I scanned the room, searching for her. Still wondering if she had been bought, I walked to the front row, still looking for her. And at the sight of me, a man scurried away from his seat, leaving me to it. With a sigh of frustration after not seeing what seemed like her, I occupied the seat, relaxing my back to the chair and my hands on my lap before nodding at the auctioneer who was gaping at me to continue. And the music picked up immediately. I ignored the piercing gazes and scanned the room, my eyes narrowing when I

Chapter four
CHAPTER FOUR “Ten thousand,” I said and added more gold coins. “Ten thousand for her. She's mine. I must have her."“Sold!” the auctioneer declared, slamming the hammer down. And before I could stop myself, I heaved a heavy sigh of relief. And it occured to me that was how bad I wanted her. There was anger in the man's eyes and he looked at me with disdain. “Don't you think it's ridiculous to spend that amount of money on a mere woman? Besides, most of them auctioned here are whores” he said nonchalantly, making me stop on my track. I swiftly took a few strides toward him, grabbed his throat firmly and pushed him to the wall while he struggled with his breath, wiggling his feet in the air. My claws sprouted and pierced his throat while drops of blood slid down his neck. "Did you call my mate... a whore?!" My eyes darkened and my grip held on tightly to his throat, he appeared as if his eyes would pop out any second. The men around began to murmur and move away from the scene. How

Chapter Five
CHAPTER FIVE KING DARIUS “I'm pregnant, Darius.” Melissa's words rang in my head. It took me a minute to regain myself. “You're pregnant?” I asked. “Yes.” She said more firmly. I noticed the maids eavesdropping on our conversation. “Let's talk somewhere private.” I said to Melissa. “You.” I pointed at the maid who was cleaning the fireplace. “Yes, your majesty.” She rushed to me, her voice quivering with fear as she spoke. “Were you eavesdropping on my conversation?” I asked, my voice dripping with venom. “I wouldn't dare to, your majesty.” She said in an almost whisper, her head hung low. I would have ordered she be beheaded or thrown in the dungeon, but I don't want my mate to think bad of me or fear me, so I decided to let it pass. “Take this woman to the room close to mine and make sure she is settled in. If she complains about even an ounce of discomfort, you are dead meat, do you understand?” I questioned. “Yes, your majesty.” She said and bowed slightly befo

Chapter Six
CHAPTER SIX HAZEL “This is your room, do you need anything, ma'am?” The lady that led me in asked. I shook my head sideways while still trying to take in the environment. Then I turned to look at her with a sad smile “I don't need anything, thank you.” She bowed slightly before exiting the room. I took in my surroundings. The room was so spacious that it could fit the living room at Lucian's house. It has a queen sized bed in the middle, a big lamp on the bedstand, the dressing table was aligned with different types of make up. I walked to the center of the room relishing on how soft the fluffy center rug felt under my barefoot.Then I walked to the walk-in closet. There were few clothes inside, mostly t-shirts and jeans. Well, I don't have to bother about clothes then since I had none with me. As I walked out, my eyes caught my reflection in the mirror, I looked miserable. I decided to go take a shower. A gasp escaped my lips as I walked into the bathroom. I had no

Chapter 7
CHAPTER SEVEN KING DARIUS It's been five days since Hazel started living in the mansion. I haven't catch a single glimpse of her in those five days. She had kept herself confined in her room. I've always ordered that her food be taken up to her room when she doesn't come down for food. I didn't want to go to her room because I figured she would need some space to adjust, but my patience started thinning out on the sixth day. “She still hasn't stepped out of her room?” I asked the maid that was standing at a corner, with her head bowed.“No, your majesty.” She responded, eyes fixed to the ground. I sighed getting agitated already. “Leave.” I said and she scrambled off almost immediately. I sat down on the bed and rubbed my chin thoughtfully. I have to find a way to talk to her. I haven't even gotten to know her yet not to talk of marking her. The only thing I know about her is her name and about her stepfather and step sister. And my wolf has been growing impatient with ea

Chapter 8
CHAPTER EIGHT HAZEL I sat on the bench and gently tapped my feet on the ground as I watched the kids playing a few meters away from me. Darius sat few meters away from me, too. I momentarily steal glances at him and in all occasions catch him staring at me. The sight of his eyes peering and boring into me makes me flinch and I couldn't help it but clench my fists against my laps. “Are you sure this is where you want to come?” His voice startled me from my thought, his eyes darting around in horror. I could bet that he has never been in this kind of gathering before in his life. He looked so uncomfortable and was drawing the attention of people passing by. “Yes.” I said gently. After what transpired between us in the car, he asked me where I wanted to go. I got a bit bold and told him I wanted to go to an amusement park. The look on his face was so hilarious that I had to bit my lip to refrain my laughter. From his facial expressions in the car, I figured I was serious

Chapter 9
CHAPTER NINEHAZEL The drive back to the mansion was awkward as neither of us wanted to break the uncomfortable silence. I could sense the tension emanating from Darius as he sped towards the mansion. I silently prayed nothing serious happened to Melissa or her unborn child. Darius might be cruel and seldom show his soft side but I can see that he cares so much for his unborn child. We got to the mansion in a few minutes. Darius bolted out of the car and threw the keys at the valet. I got down and followed him hurriedly, but I couldn't keep up with his long strides. We rushed to Melissa's room.She was laying on the bed with maids surrounding her. A man whom I assumed to be the pack doctor was examining her. They all bowed as we walked in. “Darius.” She cried out as soon as she saw us, opening her eyes and quickly stand up to meet him. “They said you were unconscious.” Darius said, a hint of irritation visible in his voice.“I fell down the stairs and fainted.” She said.

CHAPTER 10KING DARIUS Spite and jealousy dominated in my veins with my nostrils flaring as I approached Hazel and Xander. I wanted to push Xander away from my mate, for daring to go close to her and even kissing her knuckles in my very present. I had ordered that dinner be brought to the rooftop. I wanted to give her another date since our date at the park was cut short. I sent a maid to call her. I was getting impatient when they were taking too long and decided to go see what was going on. The scene I met made my heart race in pure rage. “Your Majesty.” Xander said, his voice laced with surprise. "I didn't... I didn't know you were around..." he stopped and bowed his head, his voice laced with surprise.“Mine. She is mine.” I growled at him. Xander's eyes darted between Hazel and I. His face dawned with realization and he quickly took a few steps back. “I'm sorry, your majesty. I had no idea.” He said and hung his head low, remorse visible on his face. I wanted to lash out mo
