Chapter 3: Scorns and Secret

Ana went mute after she had just blurted out a statement that could crumble her last hopes, the disdains and slurs were too weighty that she uninstinctively blurted it out.

As she observed their expressions, the room was silent for a while that she could not guess what was going through their minds, she could only hope they take her words irrelevant and insane.

"Hahaha haha " "hahahaha"

Like they had calculated the right seconds a cacophony of laughter filled the room, "You meant the most undesirable man in Darkwood pack? wench? So there could be someone more undesirable than a night soil man?" Talia asked sarcastically,

Ana could not stay in the living room any longer as she ran upstairs with tears rolling down her cheek, She hurled on her bed and buried herself under her cover cloth.

As she cried profusely, she wants this to end with, she can't wait to be claimed by Alpha Damian, the dream is such a surreal one, one day she'd be able to stand beside him hands in hands, As he walks her as his queen in the midst of everyone that had thrown slurs and stone of shames at her.

Ana rushed down the stairs dressed up gorgeously, her alluring straight hair pressed back beautifully in preparation to seeing Alpha Damian that evening at the tournament.

She needs to let him understand the slurs she's been getting henceforth and how she wants to be known as his mate publicly so no one dares demean her again.

As Lady Thaddea and her daughters stared at her,

"Is this lowly wench going to follow us to that tournament And disgrace us like she did yesterday?" Ralia said disgustedly.

"I thought you would lock yourself in your room forever!! Don't you know how better it is to not know you exist, if I were you I'd have stabbed myself to death after yesterday's disgrace, and here you are going to the tournament when your scandal is still the news in the entire Pack?" Talia added with a disgusted glare...

"Girls, leave her if she chooses to face her disgrace, the people of Darkwood does not get over a scandal so easily, Little wench must have thought facing her disgrace would lessen the pain"

With a sinister chuckle, Lady Thaddea walked away with her daughters heading to the tournament.

Ana could only pray the people of the pack go easy on her, as she walked into the arena entrance, "stop! What's a lowly omega's business here?" One of the entrance guards blocked her with a smirk,

"I'm the heiress of The Frost family" Ana said, her father's name is the only worthy and precious thing she has in this world.

The guard could not say anything further as he allowed her entry, Ana's heart was thudding fast as quite large number of attention was on her,

"Isn't that the worthless bitch? what business does she have in here" a lady said in the midst of five other ladies gathering just as she passed by them,

Ana quickened her steps to find a place to seat at the front row hoping all her attention would be directed on the tournament not what was being said besides her by other wolves.

Spectators already packed the whole seats as the crowds cheer and wave in anticipation of the game, as the opponents rode their horse into the battle crowd.

And the clamoring and cheers of the people suddenly became louder in excitement because Alpha Damian was jousting too, Ana's heart quickening in mixed excitement seeing Alpha Dam dressed in that sexy surcoats that covered the breastplates, backplates and his arm harnesses.

And the instant Alpha Dam's gaze fixed with Ana's, her heart started beating fast as she stood up and clamor and cheered for Alpha Damian like every other wolves.

Damian was enraged, "how dare this wench cheer my name?" he said with a seething growl whilst on the horse, as he rode clockwisely around the battle ground purposely getting close to Ana as their gaze met and closer and then halted,

Ana saw the disgust in his face, He gave her an hostile glare, his face was contorted with rage and a bared teeth, curled lip and a clenched grip on the horse rope.

Ana needed no one to remind her that he doesn't want a lowly omega like her to cheer him so as not to give even the slightest impressions to people, as she sat back down slowly her face burned with shame, her heart ached really bad that she could not even cheer her mate the man she loves with all her heart publicly.

The tournament was going for forty minutes after about four competitors has been defeated remaining Alpha Damian and a very skilled Alpha,

As people whispered that he is the new Alpha King of the neighboring Bluemoon pack every woman's wet dream, it was an intense battle which continued for as hour and none of the two Alphas could unhorse each other.

Alpha Damian seethed with rage, seeing the determined glare on Alpha Rex of the Bluemoon pack to unhorse him, It could only suggest something, the possibility that Bluemoon pack could conquer Darkwood pack in the future.

This infuriated Alpha Damian, as he adjusted his grip aiming for the small gap between Alpha Rex's shield and breastplate, the distance closed rapidly, so abruptly Alpha Rex shifted his shield and braced for the chaotic impact.

Shattering against each other's armor, at the same instance the heavy force lifted both Alphas from their saddle as the world spinning in chaotic whirl mixed with the noise and yells of the people; they both hit the ground.

Immediately, the physicians department rushed to their respective emergencies, Alpha Damian staggered to his feet, wincing as he touched the dent in his armor where Alpha Rex's lance has struck, This failed duel marks the beginning of their rivalry in real life.

Ana wanted to rush to the scene so bad to support Alpha Damian, her heart was hurting seeing her mate fall off that high horse in that chaos, she wanted to make sure he was okay, but what could she do? Just cheering him was an issue, this secrecy was killing Ana as tears rolled down the corner of her eyes.

Ana rushed towards the Archived library the only place in the palace she could see Alpha Damian since the orchard nooks had spelt her ruin last night, reaching there it was silent, secluded and unsupervised as usual.

Creaking the door open and walking straight to the room she recalled how Alpha Damian brought her in here for the first time, when he discovered she was his mate, she couldn't resist his emotionless eyes just as he could not resist the blooming pheromone between them,

Just immediately Ana heard the library door opening and then came Alpha Damian..

"Dam! Are you okay? " Ana's heart quickened at his sight as she rushed towards him and her hand reaching out to touch him and he pushed her away so hard she fell and hit her head on the shelf.

"Don't! I don't need your help, what was that you did a while ago? " He asked in his reverberating tone, anger flowed through his vein, Ana stood up feeling not the pain of hitting her head, but the stab at her heart.

"I.. I was only cheering you like everyone else." Ana's voice broke,

"I do not want you to cheer me!"

"If you want to keep seeing me you've gotta abide by my rule!" You've got this?" He asked, Ana nodded silently as she sobs quietly.

Damian grabbed her into his embrace at once and her heart beat quickened in pace, running his masculine hand into her hair as his lips claimed hers, Ana's breath caught up in his lips, as this fierce desire burned between them.

The pressure of his mouth demanding and unyielding, Ana's heart pounded as she clutched on his huge arm, each beat of her heart in insatiable wants, his scent, taste and stride overwhelmed her senses,

Ana clung on to him her delicate nails digging into his skin, as his lips devoured and captured hers, so warm and electrifying, their soft moans filled the library.

As Alpha Dam begin to trail his hand under her skirt she surrendered into his, all she wanted that moment was to melt into his skin, his fingers finds it's trail to her vagina.

As dexterous as it is, it starts doing it's work, whilst kissing her and thrusting gently into her, Ana moaned euphoniously, he starts so kiss and nibble on every part of her neck to her collarbone,

Eventually her right breast popping it out, he plunged his tongue on her hard pink nipple, he sucked and nibbled, their moans and groans of electrifying pleasure filled the room unknowingly to them Lady Thaddea had silently trailed Ana to the library to know who she always leaves the Pack's event to secretly see.
