With a jerk, he pushed me aside, and I stumbled. Suddenly, my mind becomes blank. What did he say? Why don’t I remember it now? He said something, but what was it? Why did it disappear from my mind in a moment?
“You will be presented in the pack’s council at lunar night. The rule must be followed, and you will be punished for what you made my brother do.” He sneered and got up from his seat. I looked at him in shock.
“What did I do? I didn’t even meet Declan for a month.” I took a step back and said it with trembling lips. Pack’s council name sent a shiver down my spine.
“Don’t try to fool me. You have to bear the consequences. I never forgive; you will pay for the crime you committed.” He said it with disdain and moved forward. The breath stuck in my throat.
"Don't, please, don’t do it. I will do what you say. Please tell me where Declan is. Is he fine?” I asked, and suddenly he came closer to me.
“What will you give me in return, little girl?" He demanded.
“I can work here as your maid and pay you as many days as you want. I will not take a single penny in return. If you want me to do any other work, I will do that too. I will consider it your loan, and I...”
"Shhh!" He put his finger on my lips.
“You are a slave to me; I took you. Do you think that I have to make a deal, even if I have the right to do anything to you? I'm saying it for the last time. Tell me how you made my brother fall for your trap. Did you send him that poisonous dagger?" He said this while coming closer to me. I froze at once.
“Poisonous dagger? What was he saying?”
“Speak!” He roared. At that moment, I pushed him and ran towards the door, but his strong grip forced me to stumble back.
“No.. No.” I nodded in denial while shaking.
What do you want from me?” I asked in a shaky voice.
“I want nothing but punishment. Remember who you are? I was a weak, wolf-less Omega, but you tried to kill my brother. Wanted his life? Now you will pay for what you did.” He sneered, tightening his grip on my arm.
“Ahh, it hurts.” I squirmed within his grasp, but his cold fingers remained firm. His deep eyes were fixed on my body.
“Beg me.” He suddenly ordered.
“What?” I was taken aback by what he said.
“Beg me for forgiveness by looking into my eyes.” I raised my face and looked into his face. His eyes were shining, changing color continuously. How was he doing that? It made me shocked and freeze. I have never heard of it. Once his eyes changed to a honey color, my head began to spin. I shifted my gaze immediately.
“Don’t try to deny it. You know I can make you a puppet. I can force you to do what I said, but I don’t want to use my power. I want to enjoy your helplessness. Look into my eyes and start obeying.”
“What if I don’t?” For the first time, I said it in a strong voice. I was alone, weak, and helpless. What was the purpose of this life? What could be worse than that?
At my response, his eyes brimmed with fury, shifted to a crimson hue, and a yellow streak emerged.
He seized my arm and began dragging me. I fought back, but his strength was overwhelming. In an instant, he stopped and seized my neck.
“You worthless creature, you’ll suffer for this. That so-called Alexander sent me a letter with proof that you were the one who sent the poison to my brother. You’ll suffer,” he hissed, tightening his grip on my neck. His gaze was intense, bordering on madness, and it made it hard for me to breathe.
What? Alexander did this. Why?
In a feeble attempt to free myself from his grip, I felt my weakness.
“J… Just kill me,” I mumbled, realizing someone was coming closer. He studied me from head to toe with an emotionless gaze.
“Alpha. There is news from the Royal Palace. Declan…” Suddenly, he released my neck and pushed me aside.
“Tell me,” he demanded, moving forward eagerly.
“He is alive.”
The night breeze slips through the cracks in this cramped little cupboard, and my thin top is no protection against the cold. I hugged myself and clutched the worn sheet in my hands with shaking hands. Tears lingered in the corners of my eyes.I looked around to find that I was not alone. Many young girls were there, all tired, broken, and unconscious.I tried to move my hands some more, but couldn’t. There are giant chains around my hands; they must know that they will be strong enough to break free from the rope. This, on the other hand, didn't seem like a regular chain. It looked like the kind that held giant beasts captive. My heart rate accelerates, and my movements become more desperate."HELP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!"Damn Alexander! I will have my revenge.It had been a day since they dragged me to this dark, cold dungeon. I still couldn’t piece together the reason why, but I knew—today was the day of my sentencing. The murmur of the guards outsi
"Elena and I were madly in love," Declan began, his voice barely a whisper, and my breath caught in my throat. He paused, letting the weight of his words settle over the room. I clenched my fists, feeling the sharp sting of my nails digging into my palms. "What... what are you talking about, Declan?" I managed to choke out, my voice trembling. He turned his gaze toward me, his eyes hard."On the day I attempted to take my life," he continued, "I received a letter and a dagger from Elena. I recognized her handwriting immediately. Every curve of every word was hers." His voice wavered for a moment, a flicker of the old Declan surfacing, but then he forced it down, his expression hardening. "In the letter, she revealed that Alpha Alexander had decided to marry her off to a disabled man. She pleaded for me to take a stand for her, and if I failed, she threatened to end her life with the very same poisoned dagger she had sent me. I did what she wanted. That’s all I knew." His voice grew
When my eyes opened, I felt a sense of unease, as if I were in a dark place. The absence of light made me question my surroundings. Was I in a grave? The thought sent shivers down my spine, but I quickly dismissed it as something I felt strange. Confusion clouded my mind as I tried to piece together the events leading up to this moment.Suddenly, a memory resurfaced. I remember the council meeting. The realization hit me like a wave, leaving me bewildered and disoriented. What happened to me? How did I end up in this mysterious situation?“Where am I?” Curiosity overcame me, and I couldn't help but wonder: Despite the initial confusion and apprehension, the cozy room provided a sense of refuge, a temporary respite from the unknown.As I gathered my bearings, I was back into the same room.“He took me back? Didn’t he kill me? Maybe Declan save me?”Feeling strange, I woke up from a deep slumber. As I removed the blanket and checked my surroundings, a wave of fear washed over me. To my
“Remember me?” He leaned closer, his voice a low, rough whisper. His smile was cold, almost mocking, as he watched me struggle to find my voice. My mouth opened, but no words came out—I was too stunned, too scared. Why hadn’t he killed me yet? I was at the council meeting but now….I yanked the blanket over myself, retreating back against the wall, my body trembling. He chuckled softly, the sound dark and unsettling. “Don't worry, Omega. I don't eat sweet things so quickly. I like to savor them... slowly.” His eyes gleamed with something dangerous. My breath caught in my chest—did he just smile? No, he can’t. He is a devil.“M-My clothes?” I stammered, my voice barely a whisper, fear tightening my throat.“Gone. Threw them away. I don’t like dirty things.” His voice was deep, and rough, sending shivers through me. I couldn’t understand—why did he bring me here? What did he want from me?I forced myself to ask, though my voice shook. “Where am I?” His eyes never left me, sharp and in
"Beg me." His voice was like a jagged edge, slicing through the tension in the air.“What?” I gasped, my heart racing in disbelief at his command.“Beg me for forgiveness by looking into my eyes.” I hesitated, then lifted my gaze to meet his. His eyes were mesmerizing, shifting colors in a way that felt almost magical—deep amber swirling into a warm honey hue. It left me stunned, almost dizzy. Why was he doing this? If he wanted me dead, he could easily do it. I was just an omega—so fragile and weak in his presence."Don't look away," he murmured, his voice low and dangerous. "You know I can make you my puppet, but I don’t want to do that. I want to see your helplessness. Look into my eyes and start obeying me."“What if I don’t?” I managed to say, finding a flicker of defiance within me. I was alone in this world; no one loved me. Nothing could be worse than the emptiness I felt. What did I have left to fight for?His eyes narrowed, shifting to a furious crimson, streaked with yellow
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the same bed, but this time it was filled with bright morning light instead of darkness. Panic shot through me, and I jumped up. I had no idea when I fell asleep or when he left. The memory of last night made my blood boil, but I felt powerless. His gaze was intense; he could control anyone with just one look. I glanced around, desperate to find him. Why was I still here?He wasn’t around. As I stood, I noticed I was wearing a navy blue sweater and a shirt. Something felt off, so I pulled off the blanket and saw I was in gray sweatpants. They were a little loose, but at least my legs were covered. Then the realization hit me.Had he dressed me? A chill ran down my spine. Just then, the door swung open, making me jump. A girl wheeled in a food trolley, and I was left speechless.“Did he really do this?” I thought. No way.“Good afternoon!” she chirped, and I snapped my head up. She wore a white shirt and black jeans, with fair skin and blonde ha
“She is wolf-less, worse even than omega. How dare she try to marry my son? She must pay for it.” Alpha King was yelled, walking furiously. Hearing these words, Declan stood frozen in the doorway, his heart pounding. His father's words hung heavy in the air, suffocating him. He quickly entered the room. Alpha Logan, his older brother and the Alpha King's right hand, turned to look at him with a hardened expression. The disappointment in his brother's eyes cut Declan deeper than any blade ever could.“I want her alive or dead. Kill that low girl.” The Alpha King's voice echoed through the room, commanding and cold. Hearing the order to kill her, Declan felt a surge of anger rises within him. His father's words were like a death sentence, a request that tore at his very soul."No!" Declan's voice rang in the room. “She is innocent. This was just my intention. You won’t touch her.” Alpha King's gaze turned to Declan, his eyes flashing with fury."You dare defy me, boy?" he growled, the p
Elena’s P.O.V.“That is strange,” I murmured, sitting before the mirror, my gaze locked on my reflection with a mix of surprise and confusion. In my black hair, some thick braids were turning golden. This looked pretty, but strange.My hair was black, and now it was turning golden in one night. Is this magic?“Ahhhh, Beta’s daughter, you are never so lucky to possess any power. You are weak and even wolf-less. Everybody hates you, especially the Moon Goddess, and do you think that she will give you a hidden power? Oh no. She just gave me a good appearance that proved to be useless.” I sighed in helplessness. But a tall figure’s reflection waved in front of my eyes.“Declan.” He claimed that I was his mate, but I knew he couldn’t accept this bond. He was Alpha King’s son. He can’t do that. But he was kind in a place filled with mean and selfish people. He listens to me, cares for me, and has a kind heart.“Elena, it's 8 o'clock. Where have you been?” A commanding voice took me out of m
