My face turns towards the right while the skin of my cheek stings with the impact of the slap.
My eyes burn with tears, which I refuse to release as my gaze is trained on the floor.
"Apologize to Cynthia right now!" My father bellows causing me to flinch. "How dare you disrespect my wife and your Luna by questioning her actions?!"
My mother died soon after giving birth to me, and my father blamed me for her death. When I turned three, councilmen asked my father to take a second chance mate because his wolf was going crazy without his mate. Even though he didn't want to, he had to find another mate because, slowly, his wolf was going insane.
Since my mother was his true mate, he never wanted to give her place to anyone else, so instead of taking Cynthia as his second chance mate, he married her.
Cynthia is what you can call a true definition of an evil stepmother. She hated me from the moment she married my father and made it clear to me that I was unwanted in her house.
But since she couldn't kick me out, she made sure to make my life miserable at every chance she got.
"She punished Emily for no reason." I speak in a low but firm voice, "She is a small child who just took an apple from the fruit basket."
"She stole the apple." Cynthia glares at me, then turns her gaze to my father and places her hand on his arm, "Emily is a child. That's why it is important for her to learn if she needs something, then she should ask instead of stealing. I was disciplining her by ordering her to fetch five buckets of water from the well, not punishing her."
"I even asked Janet to accompany her and help her with completing her task." She sighs and shakes her head, "I am mother of this pack; I am not cruel as Sophia thinks of me."
"You don't have to justify yourself; I know you." Father wraps an arm around her as she softly cries, "This girl is nothing but a nuisance. It seems like killing my Selena wasn't enough for her, so each day she does something that only hurts others." He glares at me with such hatred that the tears that I was holding back spill from my eyes.
"No food for you for five days, and you will work with the omegas for the preparation of a full moon ball." He puts every bit of his Alpha command behind his words while glaring at me.
"Yes, Alpha." Bowing my head, I show my neck in submission to him.
Strangely, Alpha commands never work on me, but I haven't told anyone about this, especially my father. If I told him then he would find one more reason to hate me thinking I am challenging his authority.
I turn and leave the room, my head held low. As I walk through the halls of the pack house, I feel the weight of everyone's stares. Whispers follow me, but I am used to it. I've been an outcast my whole life. I pass Emily in the kitchen, her eyes red from crying. She looks up at me with a mixture of guilt and gratitude, and I manage a small smile for her.
"I am sorry, Sophia." She wipes her eyes with the back of her hand, "I was hungry."
"It's okay, Emily," I say softly and reassuringly.
Emily is one of the orphans of the pack. Her parents died in a car accident two years back; since she doesn't have any family who could take her in, she lives in the orphanage.
I head out to my room in the packhouse where I live since I am not allowed to live in the Alpha house, ready to start my punishment.
Physical labor is nothing new to me; it's a way to keep my mind off the pain and loneliness that have become my constant companions. As I work, I think about my mother, the only person who might have loved me if she had lived.
And sometimes my thoughts shift to the person whom Moon Goddess has chosen for me... my mate.
My heart clings to the hope that one day, I'll find him, and he'll take me away from this misery.
Something in me tells me that soon, my wait is about to come to an end.

Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 47
AuroraThe food is set on the table, three men moving around like they’ve done this a hundred times together. Lucas is laughing about something Caleb said, his voice low and husky, the kind that sneaks into your skin and settles there. Jake stands by the counter, scooping food onto plates with practiced ease, the faintest smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.I hover near the table, unsure where to sit. At home, there’s always an assigned seat, each place at the dining table chosen by hierarchy, not comfort. Here, there’s no such rule. Every chair looks the same, but my body freezes anyway, instinctively waiting for someone to tell me where I belong.Lucas looks up and catches on faster than I can speak. He stands, pulls out a chair beside him, and nods toward it with that little half-smile of his that makes everything inside me feel like sunlight. “Here,” he says softly.I sit down, and he gently pushes the chair in before settling beside me. His knee brushes mine under the table
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 46
AuroraJake tells me to go take a shower while they clean up. His tone is firm but kind, the kind that doesn’t really invite an argument. Of course, I argue anyway.“I can help,” I say, grabbing a towel to wipe the counter.Caleb snorts, already stacking bowls in the sink. “It’s not a big deal. We’re used to it. Jake’s been putting us on cleanup duty since… forever.”The way he says cleanup carries some private history, like it’s code for something else. Lucas catches the hint and laughs, reaching over to high-five Caleb. Jake just shakes his head, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, the kind of smile he probably tries to hide so people still think he’s the responsible one.I stand there for a second, watching them, this easy rhythm they have, the unspoken familiarity of people who’ve lived through too many mornings like this. They move around each other without bumping into anything. Jake starts sweeping the floor; Caleb brings a bucket of water with a mop and begins moppin
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 45
AuroraAfter breakfast, Lucas leaves to help Jake with something. He doesn't tell me what it is, but I can guess it's related to their community... or something like that.Mikhail is the Alpha, Sophia is the Luna. Leaders.Mikhail and Sophia have their own pack, their own people. But Lucas, Jake, Caleb, and some others... they're different. They live together, fight together, protect each other without any obligation, but they don't belong to any pack. He called them packless.Apparently, Jake is the one everyone looks to, the sort of leader of packless without a title. The guy who never asked to be in charge but somehow always ends up that way. Lucas talked about him with this quiet kind of respect and love. The kind that doesn't need words to exist.All of this, Alphas, Lunas, packless wolves, still feels unreal. I'm trying to keep an open mind. If someone had told me any of this a few months ago, I'd have laughed. I would've thought they were crazy. Wolves living in human form? Loya
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 44
AuroraI don’t remember ever sleeping this well. Not as a kid, not even on the night when I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.The first thing I register is the familiar scent of him, still lingers on my skin. It wraps around me, and I stay still for a while, just basking in the quietness of the morning. There’s sunlight pooling across the sheets, soft and golden, catching dust particles that float lazily in the air. Everything feels so alive in this quiet. So normal.Maybe that’s what throws me off the most. Normal has never been something I understood. I’ve spent my whole life in a house where even the silence was watched, where freedom came with terms and breakfast came with rules. A place that looked like a home from the outside but functioned more like a gilded cage. And yet, lying here, in Lucas’s bed, I feel safer than I ever did behind locked gates and guards.Maybe feeling safe isn’t about walls or cameras or people who promise to protect you.
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 43
Lucas The first thing I notice is the warmth. Soft, golden, lazy warmth seeping through the curtains, brushing against my skin, coaxing me out of sleep. For a second, I let it hold me there, suspended in that quiet space between dreaming and waking, because it feels foreign. Unreal. I don’t sleep like this. I don’t sleep deep. My mind doesn’t allow it. Even when my eyes are closed, part of me stays awake. Watching. Listening. My senses never turn off. Every breath, every shift in the air, every faint sound, it all filters through, keeping me alert. It’s not something I can control. It’s survival. But last night… something changed. I slept. Not the restless, half-conscious kind. This was real. Deep, unbroken sleep. The kind where your body sinks and your mind goes quiet. And when I wake up now, blinking into the sunlight spilling through the half-drawn curtains, there’s stillness in my chest. A kind of peace I don’t remember ever feeling before. And then I feel it, why my arm i
Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate Chapter 42
AuroraI always pay attention to you.That single line makes everything inside me go still. Like the world just paused to see if I’d finally heard something I’d been waiting for my whole life.All my life... all my life, for as long as I can remember, I’ve just wanted to disappear from the world’s eyes. I hate attention. To stop being the thing people looked at, judged, compared, or corrected. The only attention I ever wanted was from my dad. Even then, it never came the way I hoped it would. He noticed the wrong things, the mess I left on the counter, the noise I made when I laughed too loud, the way I never seemed to do enough.But when Lucas says he notices me, that he pays attention to me… it’s like something inside me rearranges itself. The neglect, the criticism, the feeling of being unseen, they all fall quiet.He picks up the first aid box and sets it on the table beside the bed. His movements are careful, quiet. There’s a kind of patience in him, one that doesn’t come natura
