TRIGGER WARNING : DEPICTION OF SEXUAL ABUSE.
“I wouldn’t want to mess with a man like that. He sounds worse than the other Alphas I have seen,” I commented. “Though, I am curious. Why did he just go MIA after taking over the town?”
Jannet shrugged “I don’t know. There are several types of rumors. Some say he is dead, some say he is traveling to different places and I personally think he’s not interested in the town.”
I frowned, “Why would you say that?”
“It’s quite evident. Blood Moon Pack didn’t claim the title of the strongest pack in the world just by existing. It has the whole country under its reign. And there are rumors that it will spread its wings further. Alpha Dark seems to be the only person after the Lycan King who could take over such a vast expanse in such a short time.”
They were right. During the high-school study on wolves, it was stated that a pack could grow its territory just like kings used to do in the medieval ages. By fighting wars with other packs. Once the other pack lost, the winning pack took them into their reign and they all followed the same Alpha. The Beta stayed by his side, while the Gammas and Omegas were in charge of administration and training the fighters.
Then came the wolves who had no ranks and were living under the mercy of the warriors and then came us, humans. We were the ants in rank.
“Wait a sec. No way can the Alpha take on the whole country. There are so many packs out there. He couldn’t just be winning—”
“He did.” Candice intervened, “People claim that the other alphas in comparison to him appear as puppies because he won every single war.”
“I wonder if he will be going for the Lycan King’s position soon,” Jannet said and checked the time on her phone.
We went back to the lectures and the rest of the classes went smoothly. Nobody could tell that I was choked and bathed with ice-cold water.
There was no sign of gossip regarding the former among the students. They would talk about what Sam and Nat did, if they desired to receive the same treatment, or, even worse. No one dared to cross the high-ranking wolves.
I met with my reflection on the polished glass window. Dark gray clouds veiled the sky in its gloomy embrace. One would expect it to rain, or snow, because of the chilly air. But that would be a miracle for this town.
The weather in Wilfair was always uncertain.
My thoughts switched to the earlier conversation I had with Jannet and Candice. I wondered if the town would finally get a glimpse of its Alpha.
After the last lecture, I packed my notes and stepped out of the lecture room. My eyes nervously flickered to the silent, empty corridors. Due to the scarce town population, the college felt like it was on lockdown.
My hurried flat shoes clicked against the floor as I walked ahead, my shadow following my trail. Suddenly, I heard footsteps and before I could sense anything, a hand grabbed my arm and I was pushed against the wall.
When I looked up, I was met with a pair of enraged blue eyes. Sam!
“Going home, babygirl?” Sam cocked his head, a devilish smirk painted on his face. I grimaced. He used to call me ‘baby girl’ when I was his girlfriend.
“I don’t want anything to do with you, Sam. Let me—” He slammed his fist on the wall, inches away from my face and my eyes squinted as a reflex.
“How about you come to my place? We can have some fun, like the good old days.” He said and I clutched the front of my sweater, remembering the day he forced himself on me when I came to his mansion for the first time.
His intentions were pretty clear but I wanted our first time to be special. We were watching TV when he tried to get intimate with me and I politely declined saying that I was not in the mood. He had intentionally played an erotic movie, but it wasn’t working on me.
He did not seem to like my response as he got furious and started to say that I did not love him. That’s why I was throwing such tantrums and why I was attracted to some other guys and was making out with other people. I spoke back, trying to dig sense into him but he was so adamant.
Later, he just pushed me onto the sofa and started to open my top. I tried to tell him that I was not comfortable but he wouldn’t listen and he tore off my top. I could not refuse too hard because he was my boyfriend and wanted to give him pleasure.
I could not stop him because I thought that I had to prove to him that I loved him and let him do what he wanted was the only way right then. He made me give him a blow job, almost taking his member to my throat.
It was hard for me as I felt like coughing and he loaded his seed on my mouth, irrespective of my telling him that I was not ready for this. He left me alone like a used toy on the sofa.
I regretted giving up myself, but in my defense, my mom nailed the concept of satisfying your partner to be the ultimate bliss in my head. The knowledge of proper consent came later when I shared the experience with my friends.
The memory was still fresh in my head like it was yesterday and I looked at him with a look of disgust. Noticing it, he growled in anger.
“How dare you make that face in front of me?! You take yourself as someone higher than me since you broke up with me?!” He snarled and I trembled under his towering figure. “Well, dream on, because today, in the mating ball, I will mark you as my mate and you will be trapped under me.” He hissed.
My face ran cold at his words.
“No! You can’t do that. Natalie is your mate.” I reminded him.
If I am marked, then I would have no choice but to be his mate and live with him!
He leered at me, “You think I care about her? I told you, it is you who I always loved.” His voice sounded sincere, but I knew what the truth was. He told me that he loved me all the time and beat me, raped me, and verbally abused me in the name of love.
“This is not love, Sam. You are just obsessed with me. And I hate you!” I said, my voice shaking.
His face slowly darkened and he moved extremely close to me, his breath falling on my face. “What did you say?” He gripped my arm, his nails digging into my skin and I yelped in pain. He pinned me against the locker and I tried to get him off me, but he was too strong.
I punched, kicked his body, and even tried to bite his hand, but none of it worked. He was a warrior wolf and my strength was nothing compared to his.
He chuckled, “As if you can go against me. You don’t realize, do you? You are my personal slave now and as long as you breathe, I will love you the way I like to.” he slapped me, the sound of it ringing in my ears.
His nails pierced into the skin of my waist, like daggers.
I screamed in pain, my eyes pooling with tears and my vision turned blurry. I want this to end, please! I knew nobody would come to my rescue as all of them were scared of Sam.
They would blame me.
I still tried to get his hands off me, but it was like punching a wall. He moved closer to my face, licking my chin and I gritted my teeth.
“Want me to lessen the pain? Here…” he left my waist and his hand moved into my jeans. I realized what he was doing and I screamed,
“No! Leave me!” I tried to get his hand away and move to the other side, but he stepped on my foot, stopping me from moving. I cried out loud, hoping that someone would come to my rescue.
“Relax, sweetie. You will enjoy it I promise. You liked me doing these things to you back then.” He whispered in my ear and his finger started to slide down my pantie. I cried, telling him to stop but he started to rub my core and I felt disgusted and wanted something to happen that would kill me.
“Sam?” It was the familiar voice of Natalie from behind that caused my tormentor to push himself away from me.
My blurred vision fell on her smooth, filtered with make-up face. Her perfectly done eyebrows were raised in question, contradictory to her gray eyes, which told me that she knew what was up.
*************************
I exhaled in relief as I finally had some room and a window of opportunity to run. “What’s going on?” Natalie asked as she turned to face Sam and then me. “Babe!” Sam said, pointing at me, “She was trying to persuade me into having a physical relationship with her.” What?! Sam’s explanation of the scenario as a whole shocked me. He was on me, not me on him, therefore it didn’t make sense. Nat’s expression changed from confusion to rage at that point, and she snapped her head at me. “You filthy bitch!” She spat in rage, but Sam stopped her before she could turn into a wolf and charge at me. As if he loved her, he cupped her face. “Calm down, baby. Why will you get hyper for a whore like her?” he explained. I decided to take advantage of his conversation with her to escape from the place. I huffed as I made my way through the deserted hallways and out of the building. However, I didn’t stop and continued to race through the streets until I arrived at my house. My house was not too
“That is wonderful!” My mother clapped and Aiden ran to look at the car. I observed the man, a glazed look on his face, who was supposedly the driver, “Is the Alpha providing the means of escorting the people? I didn’t hear about it, that’s why I was confirming.” He stared at me unblinkingly for a second and replied, “You are Miss Avery Williams, aren’t you?” My parents looked at me and my brows drew together, “Yes, why do you ask?” “This is specially reserved for you and your family. Nobody else.” He spoke in a solemn tone and my frown deepened. This did not make sense at all. “My apologies, it is very kind of the Alpha. But may I know why he sent us a car when nobody else received the same?” Dad asked what I had in my head. “I am only following my orders, Mr. William.” The man said. “But how can we take the ride just like that?” I asked. “You can refuse if you wish to, miss. Then I would call and let the Alpha know.” “Eh, no, no!” Mom spoke out and waved her hands, “Pardon m
My body froze in place and the phone fell from my hand as I stared at the pair of flashing red eyes. The lights flicked on, revealing a man standing right in front of me in a corridor with wooden paneling on the walls. Light from the small crystal chandelier cast a warm glow on the tall intimidating dark figure standing tall with a pair of sinful obsidian eyes piercing into me. A shock weaved down my body as the cold fabric of his gloves brushed against my tender skin. His dark gaze held me in place as if hypnotizing me and perfectly matched his raven black hair slicked back. His angular cheekbones trailed down to a concrete jaw that twitched and I realized I was staring.But I saw red eyes in the dark. Was it an illusion? Why did it seem so familiar?“Running from someone, kitten?” His deep, enticing muscular voice caused a delicious tingle down my spine.But ‘kitten’? He was still holding my shoulders and I wiggled away, escaping from his hold. I gazed up and found his beautiful
My head was spinning. The attention of all the guests at the party was overwhelming, but not as much as the fact that I had spoken with an offensive tone to an Alpha! If he wanted, he could destroy my life in seconds. I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked around for familiar faces until my gaze fell on my mother who stepped out of the crowd and walked toward me. She had a wary look on her face and I didn’t need to second guess the reason. It was not every day that my mother saw me walking along with an Alpha. “Avery.” She planted herself in front of me, her eyes expressing concern, and placed a hand on my shoulder. I knew she wanted to interrogate me but there was a more pressing matter ahead. A six feet tall, sexy one clad in black. Her gaze shifted up to the Alpha and she bowed to him, “Alpha Dominic. It is my utmost pleasure to see you. Did my daughter do something?”She shot me a small glare and I knew that she was wondering what I had now. A crooked smile shaped the lip
I breathed in and fell the gaze of others in the party on my skin like icicles. There was no way that I could reject an Alpha or who knew what consequences me and my family would have to endure because of his wrath. I haven’t seen him angry yet even though I believe I had offended him before, but one made no promises. I gave him a smile and offered my hand that appeared like a Lilliput in front of his giant palm. He took my hand, his grasp warm yet firm and sparks flew off the area where our skins met. He lead me to the dance floor, where some couples were already dancing to the slow music of the piano and violin. I didn’t like these kind of music but it sounded appropriate and perfect for the hall that looked no less than a royal ball of the Victorian age. The white walls appeared yellow to the warm golden light cast by the chandeliers, the candles on the candelabras and the small led lights on the decorated ceiling. We stood beneath what I would consider one of the largest chandeli
||DOMINIC’S POV|| Weather in Wilfair had its own taste, something I had never experienced before. The atmosphere always had a curse flowing in it, as if this place was forbidden and the fog danced in front of the tinted glass of my window. It was a good way to hide before I could unleash myself and put someone to their grave. Never had I thought that this dead town could be so interesting. And there was one person who made it beautiful, my sweet mate. I saw her walking in the line of other classmates. It was their P.E. class as per I knew what their schedule had. This was the time I could see her so I chose to sit in my car and watch my little kitten do the long jumps. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, the brown waves of her strands cascading down on her small shoulders like a waterfall. Her plump lips moved apart and closed while she spoke to her other friend who I had seen Sky dance with her at the party. I saw a bit of my own reflection in the window of my car, a smile adorning
I played Cheap Thrills on my phone as I got ready for the day. I was so happy! My mission was successful and Sam could not mark me. Now I could focus on my grades and make a plan to get out of Wilfair. With this plan being successful, I had some confidence and looked up to the brighter side of my future. “Av, have your breakfast.” My mom chirped as she slid the plate towards my side on the table and I was surprised to find waffles with chocolate syrup on it. Even my parents were in a good mood today. Last night, they interrogated me for almost an hour on how I met the Alpha and how lucky I was that I got to dance with him. My mom did not leave the chance to brag about it to our neighbors who surely were jealous. I didn’t care what our neighbors felt, but after such a long time I saw my parents being genuinely happy. I was slowly getting at their good side again. Maybe things would go back to normal as they used to. Once I was in Winterville, I met Jannet and Candice and we all la
My heart drummed in my chest. I already had a crazy day, I didn’t know if I had it in me to take more. Why did the Alpha of all people pay a visit to our house?What if he was here to punish us for how I spoke to him before I knew about him? But I did apologize!“Av.” My mother whispered giving me the eye that said, “Greet him back.”I looked back at Dominic and said, “Good afternoon Alpha. A pleasure to see you.”Dominic smiled at me and cocked his head, while Aiden looked at him innocently. “Are you? That is wonderful to know.”I frowned as I did not understand what he meant by his question. Did he somehow realize that I was uncomfortable in his presence?“We cannot believe a day would come when the Alpha himself would grace us with his presence. After all, we are just humans.” dad said with a smile but he was also uncomfortable and doubtful of Dominic’s visit.Humans were considered the lowest of all in the town and due to that, wolves tend to not interact with us. It was a matter o
SKY’S POV We had a funeral for Aisel after he… I blinked back the tears as I stared at the garden through the window. I hadn’t expected him to go away like that. If I had known, my words would have been different. I wanted to say I loved him and missed him and I forgive him. “Sky,” I smelled hot chocolate and turned behind to find my white chocolate holding a cup in her hand. She extended the cup towards me, the hot fumes touching my soaked cheeks. “Thanks lovely.” I said and took a sip from the cup. It tasted heavenly. Jannet was amazing at making hot chocolate and I was a fan of hot chocolate now. She took a seat beside me and rubbed my shoulder, “Wanna talk about it?” She had given me some space after dad passed away and told me she was here to talk if I wanted to. I couldn’t ask for a more understanding mate. It was her maturity which influenced me to a great extent and Silver had told me how he I was slowly changing into a more responsible man. Was I? I didn’t know. But I wa
JANNET’S POVDuring the wedding celebrations, I felt Sky’s constant gaze on me. I slowly looked at him and was met with his blue eyes eye-fucking me. If his gaze could burn clothes, I would have been naked by now.Avery danced with the Alpha and Sky walked towards me. He looked hot in a black blazer over his black turtle-neck top. He leaned down and whispered, “I should have paid the priest to get us married here too.”I blushed and tugged the ends of his blazer to straighten it. His face hardened a little, “I will be waiting for you outside the gates once the party is over.”“Okay.” I was excited to meet him.After Avery finished her dance with the Alpha, one of the warriors played Shape of You and a lot of them joined the dance floor, showing off their moves.Avery ran over to me and pulled me in a hug. She had freed her legs from the heels and was bare feet. “Goddess, they hurt.” She said and I wrapped an arm around her shoulder, watching everyone dance to the beats.“You wanna dan

AVERY’S POV I couldn’t move, I was too tired. Before my eyes closed, the last I remembered was the doctors pulling out the baby. I wanted to smile and get a look, but my vision was blurry. When I fluttered my eyes open, I was resting on a hospital bed. In the corner of the room, I saw Dominic leaning against the wall. His eyes looked puffy and red as if he had cried before this. What happened? “The baby!” I sat up and an excruciating pain shot through my back. Dominic came to my side and made me lean back on the bed. I looked at him, “Dom…the baby…” “Hush, calm down. You just woke up. Take some rest.” his eyes held no expression, they were blank. Why was he behaving like this? His behavior scared me. There was a certain emptiness in my heart that I couldn’t comprehend. “Dom. Where is the baby?” I asked, the impatience clear in my voice. I just wanted to see my child. Was that too much to ask? Dominic did not respond and turned his back on me. He approached a crib on the other
DOMINIC’S POVAvery slowly sat on my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck. She looked nervous.“And smells different.” Asphalt added.I frowned and pulled her closer to me, sniffing her neck. She had a soft tint of rose on her cheeks while I sniffed her. She indeed smelt different. It was not a perfume, it was her natural scent mixed with something…strange.“Dom, what are you doing?” she asked, the nervousness not lifting from her face. I could hear her heartbeat pacing, feeling her stress crawl through my skin. As mates, we could feel each other’s emotions.But why was she so nervous?“Did any of those bitches stir any problem in the coven?” I asked, my face hardened. Avery ran her own coven with thousands of witches under it. Some of them were not very trustworthy, so I always stayed alert.She shook her head and my frown deepened. Then what was the problem?Sean walked in and bowed his head, “Luna, two wolves have initiated a brawl in the fighting grounds and it is hard to stop
DOMINIC’S POV “Stay calm, Alpha. Repeat with me. Breathe in, breathe out.” Sky’s annoying voice buzzed in my ears like those mosquitoes you want to squash with your hands. I wanted to do the same. But he wouldn’t die and whine later like the child he was. I shot him a deadly glare and he retreated, knowing well my anger was at its limit. It had been fucking four hours since I saw her. When I woke up in the morning, I expected her to be beside me, lying naked, but she wasn’t. That’s when I learned she was stolen by her best friend for the wedding. I didn’t understand the hype of wasting so much time on make-up and shit. I would have married her if she walked down the aisle in her pink pajamas. She was beautiful to me, no matter what the circumstance. “I would have liked her to wear no clothes,” Asphalt chuckled and a sinful smirk lifted the corner of my lips. No clothes were better. But it was reserved for us. “Right. How long?” he growled and I looked at my Rolex. “How long, Sky
I breathed a sigh of concern and stared at my eyebags reflecting in the mirror. I was so excited for this day, and Dominic wasn’t feeling sleepy either. So…we kind of spent the night making love to each other. I only got two hours of sleep after that.Jannet was standing right behind, her hands on her hips, disappointment clear on her face, “Which part of a beauty sleep consisted of having sex with your man last night?”I gave her a sheepish smile, “It's good excercise. I slept like a log after that. You should try it too.” I got a smack on my arm in response from her.There was a knock at the door. Jannet answered it and didn’t let me see who it was. I didn’t need to. I could feel them outside the door.“With due respect, Alpha Dark. We agreed on you not seeing her before the wedding,” she said, her voice a little shaky.“Fuck the agreement. I can’t wait this long,” he said and a grin shaped my lips. It was fun to torture him, though I missed him too. I might get punished later for i
AVERY’S POV It all made sense now. Asphalt and I were bound together. But the strange thing was, it was because of my past self’s love for him. In this life, I was scared of both of them and they chased me but in the past, I was the one chasing after them. Aisel was right. There were certain things we would never understand. I smiled at Asphalt who look concerned after he saw my eyes turn white. “What happened to you?” “Nothing. Just saw our past,” I said and pulled him in a deep kiss. If I ever met the Moon Goddess again, I would thank her for giving me this blessing. There were a lot of hardships, but we crossed them together. The past was not necessary, it was the present that mattered more. So I opted to not speak about it to them. Asphalt broke the kiss and whispered, “Time to punish you.” I blinked in confusion and he pulled me up in his arms. He took me to our bedroom and placed me on the bed. I kissed him passionately, our tongues clashing inside for dominance un
AVERY’S POVI sat with Dominic on the portico, overlooking the training of the pack members. He had his arm wrapped around my waist while I rested my head on his shoulder. It felt good to have everything go back to normal.After I pulled the soul of the witches out of Castiel, his body couldn’t take the toll and he died. His soul was consumed by Asphalt and we buried his body in that forest. Dominic took responsibility of the town after some of it was ruined. It took a month to get everything restored, but with my powers, the town was able to breathe again.There were no dark clouds on the sky and sunlight shone over us, welcoming us with its warmth. Since my body was revived from death, Dominic and Asphalt had me staying extremely close to them. If I walked into the bathroom for a minute, they would get worried.I chuckled at the thought. They were getting overprotective, but I didn’t mind it. I loved every second of their presence and wouldn’t ask for anything less.But there was so
