Chapter 03

ZARA'S POV

"The guests are here!!", Miriam rushed into the kitchen and alerted the maids with a sense of urgency. "I need everyone on deck! Get to serve them their food immediately! I don't want anyone acting like an old woman here! Get their food to them quickly and carefully!!", She yelled instructions to each maids as they hurried out of the kitchen with the food I just made.

After almost getting hit by a bunch of rich fools and trekking to the border to get wolf peppers, I ended up staying choked in the kitchen making a three course meal for the guests that we were going to have.

From what I heard, our guests where the Alpha and Beta of Blood moon pack the strongest pack in all of the wolf Kingdom, with an Alpha that couldn't be looked in the eyes even by the greatest men because of how ruthless, heartless and cold he was.

Miriam was supposed to be one to cook or at least supervise it, but she made me do it and took all of the credit.

"And what are you doing there?", I saw her narrow her dark gaze to me. "Didn't you hear me say that I need all hands on deck? Or do you think you're off the hook just because you made little contribution to my cooking? Get this tray of food to the dinning table before I roast you over that cooker", she threatened and I knew better than to call it bluff.

I hadn't been fed anything yet, and I felt like I could be carried away by the wind. I had a bad migraine and my legs threatened to give way, but I was too tired to argue.

I simply carried the tray of food and joined the maid in the living room.

They were talking about a peace treaty when I got there and I was about to drop the tray when my body stopped functioning for a moment.

Were my eyes playing a prank on me?

Seated just across my father was the same man I encountered on my way to the border?!

This had to be a joke.

I made eye contact with the men, and my throat dried up in an instant.

They recognized me too!

Wait a minute.

That meant that I called Beta and Alpha of Bloodmoon pack, rich good-for-nothings?

I was fucked.

I swallowed and acted like everything was alright. I began serving their food as quickly as I could so I could get out of here.

"So, just to be clear, we've finalized the peace treaty, right? Or is there any other thing you want to add to the list?"

"Yes, actually", Alpha Damon said, his eyes on my body.

"And what would that be?"

"I want her."

*

The whole dining room became so silent, I could hear my own palpitating heart.

I froze to standstill where I was and gawked and the psychopath of a werewolf was staring at me with his piercing eyes.

What was his request supposed to mean?

"Ermm, Alpha Damon", my father cleared his parched throat. "Could you please explain what you mean when you say you want her?"

"Let me make this very clear to you, Donovan", he began without even batting an eyelid. "I want to rewrite the terms of the peace treaty which you are offering to me. I've changed my mind. I do not want lands or soldiers or gold or silver. Keep them for yourself and your struggling pack. I want this lady standing before us as mine. She is the only exchange I shall need in exchange for revenge. In other words... It's either I go back to my pack with this woman as mine, or I go back to inform my soldiers that we have lives to take in the Redmoon pack."

"I do not want you!", I yelled desperately like my life depended on it. "I know you're doing this as revenge for what happened earlier today, but over my dead body will I go anywhere with you-"

"So you mean that if I give her off to you, I get to keep my lands and my pack?"

Wait.

Was my father considering it?

I swerved to him and fell on my knees. "Father, please!", I began to beg. "Don't allow me to go with this man! He's going to kill me! I know you hate me, but for the sake of my late mother, please have mercy on me! I don't want to go with him."

Without even looking my way or giving it a second thought, he turned to his Beta. "Get me the peace treaty and a pen immediately"

"Father!!", I begged, but they fell on deaf ears.

"Asher", I turned to my step brother and heir to the throne who was seated with them. "Please beg father on my behalf! I have done nothing wrong to be used as a sacrifice for the kingdom!!", But he just looked on like I didn't exist.

The peace treaty was immediately handed to him, and my full name ZARA SMITH was written boldly as the term and condition.

Alpha Damon was the first to sign it before sliding it over to my father.

I grabbed my father's legs with my shaky hands. "Please, father! I'm your child too! Don't sell me off like this-"

He kicked me away from him like I was an unwanted animal, and I watched as he signed the treaty, my fate being decided without even considering my stance.

"Good. I need to attend to something important in my pack, but my beta will stay with her in your palace tonight to guard my property. First thing tomorrow, I'll be back to her with me", Alpha Damon said as he got up.

"And she'll be ready to go with you", my father rose up too and they shook hands before he left.

"Father-"

"I am not your father, Zara. You have been useless all your life and this is your one chance to be of use to me. You should be happy I'm selling you off to a man like him", he turned to the guards. "Take her away."

His words were like a sharp spear that through my chest and came out my back. It was so painful, tears began to roll out of my eyes as I was bundled to my room and dumped on the bed without any care.

I sat in the dark, sobbing and wishing that my mother was alive to see all of this.

I was better off dead than living this miserable life.

No matter how much I cried, my wolf couldn't calm down.

She was restless and screamed "a way out!" Over and over.

It only meant one thing.

There was only one way I could evade being under the possession of that evil tyrant.

I had to rewrite fate.

I needed to escape this godforsaken palace tonight.

    Chapter 4 ZARA'S POV "I can't take this anymore. If the Moon Goddess isn't going to help me, then to hell with her. I'm going to help myself before I die", I muttered as I cleaned the tears from my face. I couldn't explain where I got the surge of courage and strength from, I decided it in my mind. I was going to leave this abysmal palace before it'd have the chance to run me mad or worse, take my life. I got up from the bed and walked to the door. Gently, I opened it and stuck my head out, peeping through the long hallway. It was empty. "Good" I gently stepped out and slowly closed the door, making sure the wooden door didn't make any sounds. It was well past midnight and everyone had retired to their rooms. I saw no one as I walked down the hallway. It was awfully lonely and cold. As the wind slapped my torn skin, the tingling pain reminded me of the risk I was taking. It reminded me of the possible consequences I could face if anything went wrong, and with the once radical c

They were so deep in pleasure that they didn't even realize that someone was staring at them in the darkness for minutes. “Kyle?Luna?”. I managed to say as I watched them struggle to put on their clothes. Luna had a smug look on face. No wonder, she was not dining with us when that horrible Alpha was here and Kyle didn't tell me he was coming around today. I…

My father remained unmoving, Asher probably dead. I caught a glimpse of Miriam and Luna at the other end of the field, bawling their eyes out. I kept screaming out to my father, and this time when Alpha Damon approached, it wasn't to warn me again.He slapped me across the face. “I hate repeating myself, young girl.” He turned to his subordinates. “These people have proven to be incompetent. Right under my nose, another man dares to touch my bride.” My eyes widened in shock, wondering just how what had transpired a few days ago had gotten to the Blood Moon Pack that was four vast grasslands away. I then remembered there were spies and Rogues constantly patrolling and switching between clan territories. Knowledge was

    CHAPTER 7ZARA’S POVIf I was told I was going to wake up to see another dawn, I would have argued otherwise. It's been four days since I arrived at the castle of Alpha Damon, and thankfully, he had not come around to pay a visit. Lady Rose, despite her weird demeanor, had been kind enough to help me out with some clothing and a bed to lay my now frail body on. My days were spent profusely cleaning the room the best way I knew how and ended with me watching Lady Rose and other servants around in the kitchen as they prepared dinner for the Alpha and other royal relatives. Sometimes, I tried to fight my body from making it to see the next day by skipping a meal, but the whining of my wolf became a disappointing reminder of the fate I had been subjected to.The darkness did no justice to the room I was placed in. It was much smaller when the sun rose. I try to dream of my bedroom sometimes, hoping that as I lay on the stone cold bed I retire to, I would feel the comfort I once used to

    CHAPTER 8Alpha Damon’s POVI watched Zara’s eyes widen in horror as those words came out of my mouth, “Wh..What?”. She said, her voice and body visibly trembling.“Don't let me repeat myself again. I said "strip". My voice husky, as my wolf whined in me, hungrily. I didn't have time to waste, she was mine now and I couldn't wait to have her. Since I met Zara when she was just a little tenager, I have always imagined what her body would look like and how it would feel with me all over her. I couldn't do anything then because she was just a little girl, so I told her father to keep and preserve her for me until I'm back for her.So how dare he let his bastard of a son lay a finger on what is mine?. Although she was a little quiet and timid when I first saw her, I know there is a feisty naughty part of her which I am going to unleash, enjoy and explore all by myself“I…i dont…i don’t….” she stuttered, taking a few steps back, as if trying to bolt from the door.

My voice trailed becoming weaker and weaker as I cried to him to have mercy.He wasn't close any more, but I could still hear him roaring in the background as I was dragged almost naked to the dungeon. The dungeon, a place I dreaded and feared with everything in me.“Please…please…”. I pleaded with the Gruff, rugged men that pulled me to the dungeon. Although my body was being dragged along the ground, and I definitely got some injuries, that was the least of my problems. If only I could see reasons with them to just let me go, that would be perfect. But that, that was impossible.My heart beat increased the moment we reached the areas that were out of the residential areas. The air grew thick with the stench of mold and decay, making my stomach churn.As I stumbled along, the guard’s grip on my arms tightened. I struggled to break free, but their hold was unyielding."Where are you taking me?Let me go!!” I demanded, but my voice was met with

I knew noone was coming but that was the only thing I could do so I remained on the icy floors of the disgusting dungeon screaming for help from anybody, anyone at all, with the littlest of emotions."Help, help me. Please, anybody. Please help me," I was on my last strength, I felt it as my voice was leaving me and my body felt weaker than ever. I was not going to last long in this cell. If anybody was coming, it had to be now, before I lose my mind or my breath ceases."I'm hungry," I finally said, thinking that it would at least shake the guards that were most likely standing watch outside the doors of the small dungeon.There was nothing. No sound, no footsteps, nobody was coming. Nobody made an attempt to help. I was losing faith that I was going to survive another day. Would that be such a bad thing? If I died right now? I definitely would not be missed. My father would be rel

The maids say she was the most beautiful human they had ever seen.I would beg Lady Rose to tell me about her as a child and she would, with obvious grumbling. She was never to refuse my requests, I assumed that was father’s doing. She was kind to me, her role in my life was more than that of just a servant. I would come to see her as the mother I never had.Her warm hugs and that sweet, lavender scent that accompanied the embrace, when my father neglected or disregarded me as he usually did became my safe haven, my refuge.She would speak highly of him, praise my father, speaking about the days of their youth and how ambitious he was. She would recount stories centred around his breathtaking aura, his unmoved resolve, eyes that pierced through even the darkest of nights and more tales about his awesomeness. She made me love him, the beast that terrified packs and haunted children’s nightmares, my father, the heartless alpha of the b

    Chapter 61 Zara's POVOutside Alpha Damon's room, I could finally get a personal view of that magnificent garden sitting in the compound. There was a path separating the two sides of the garden. It was almost a little too big for a garden, as it covered almost an entire plot.The garden had rows of roses, tulips and lilies and so many exotic breeds I could not recognise. It was a perfect combination of so many different colours- red, white, blue, yellow, splattered all over the place. It brought peace to me, this place. It was the only place I felt a little at peace in the mansion. With the basket I found lying around in the kitchen, I headed straight for the mushrooms I spotted from inside Alpha Damon's room.I loved mushrooms, partly because of how they tasted and partly because I knew how to identify the poisonous kind. It felt good to possess uncommon knowledge. I walked through the garden, my eyes sifting through the numerous mushrooms just sitting there.Anything with a shade

    Chapter 60 Zara's POVI used to love the mornings. I loved the way the rays of the sun seemed to blind out every problem that I had. I don't know when I stopped loving the mornings. I don't know when the sun was no longer enough to block out those problems. These problems keep growing, bigger and bigger every second. I woke up to the sound of Alpha Damon on a call with a person I assumed was his secretary from the way he spoke. He barked orders at the person on the other end, but then again, he barked orders at everybody.I once tried to understand him. Why he acted the way he did? Nurture or nature? As a child, I read anything and everything I could find in the grand library at my pack house, from fictional story books to history books. There was nothing about the Blood moon pack's previous Alpha. It was like he never existed. "Make yourself at home," he said. "This is your new home. I've said this before but you still ran away. It does not matter. You can't run from me," he said

    Chapter 58Zara's POVMy heart sank as Alpha Damon uttered the words, "it can't be." My attempt at deceiving him was futile after all. It was foolish of me to think I could lie to him with his ability to hear my heartbeat and possibly even know what I was thinking through our mind links. Although mind links were meant exclusively for members of the same pack.I tried as much as possible to conceal my thoughts, hoping for the best but expecting the worst to happen. "Wait in the bedroom," Alpha Damon commanded after his interrogation, torture session. He seemed to have bought the story I made up about the moonlight pack. It was known throughout werewolf city of the feud between the Blood Moon pack and the Moonlight pack so it was easy to put the blame on the Blood Moon pack's rival but I expected more hesitation from Alpha Damon.I summoned the last of my strength to walk away from the suspicious werewolf as fast as I could, before he noticed that I had been lying.

I never imagined Nick to be the nymphomaniac kind of guy. The worst part was that I could not think about complaining, I had nowhere else to go. I was grateful for his offer too.It had been three days since I moved in with Nick and every night since has been filled with awkward, high pitched and disturbing sounds at night.Nick's one bedroom apartment was small and anything but cozy. He had clothes littered over every furniture in his sparsely furnished space. His apartment defined "low budget" with his.small, flat screen TV, a rickety, brown and ugly sofa and his bed at the one end of the room, all squeezed in a tiny space."Make yourself at home," he said, the afternoon I arrived, his emerald green eyes gleaming as he spoke. Nick was always like that, always the first person to offer a helping

    Chapter 56Zara's POVI opened my eyes to dizzying lights overhead, a familiar scent and an unyusual unawareness of my surroundings. Not again.I closed my eyes to recollect my thoughts. The last thing I remembered was the train station. The lights went out. Isaac."Isaac?" I called out in the strange environment."Your friend is dead, like everyone who was foolish enough to think they could help you escape me. There is no escaping me," a deep voice announced from a distance.I know that voice. An instant dread filled me up as my head was thrown forcefully back into reality and my attention was called to order at once. The man's steps were loud and echoed in the quiet room. With each step, I felt as the deep pit in my belly grew even bigger, making me more and more uneasy. Then it stopped. The loud footsteps came to a halt, plunging the room back into its eerie silence. He was close enough by this time."Did you really think you were going to run away from under my nose?" came that

    Chapter 55Zara's POVOutside the dark room was bright and sunny. I wondered how Isaac got me out of the restaurant without drawing any attention to himself."I'll take you home. You just have to trust me and don't ever leave my sight," Isaac warned before we set out. Trust you? I wanted to believe him because if I did not and he was not who he said he was then all hope really was lost. "Take this, it'll help," he said and I felt strength return to me after he forced some pills into my mouth. The streets of Orleans were packed as usual with people of various cultures roaming freely. "I could run away right now," I said to the mercenary, expecting a reaction but he remained unflinching.Isaac made sure I was at his side at all times even through thick crowds and across busy roads. I felt uncomfortable when he held my hand as we crossed the road. His squishy palm was unbecoming of a man of his status.This man was nothing like the one I met earlier in the restaurant. He did not smil

    Chapter 54Zara's POVDarkness. I woke up with a banging headache and a bad feeling. Something was terribly wrong but I did not know what it was. My mind felt blank with my head not being able to process anything. It hurt everytime I tried thinking. The cold tiles I was lying on were not helping. I thought only of one thing for a while- how to stop the cold but it was one thing to think and another to be able to actualize your thoughts. Footsteps. Someone was coming and they were walking in fast. A beam of light flashed into my eyes, worsening my already bad headache. "Who?" I tried to speak but I felt weak, too weak to say anything or do anything. The light went out as fast as it came on, plunging the room back into darkness. I didn't think I'd ever think like this but in that moment I preferred the darkness to the light. It seemed like someone had walked into the room where I was. Someone was standing only a few feet away, after walking in through a door. I had no way of confi

    Chapter 53Zara’s POVThe sky stretched out blue and bright. The few clouds to be seen formed odd shapes. One of them reminded me of a big, brown wolf I had come across once."You like it?" Isaac's warm, womanly voice called my wandering mind back to reality, back to him and away from the clouds. But I stared for a reason, I was not interested in a conversation with him in the first place, I only sat out of courtesy and because he did pay for my meal. "I'm sorry. What?" "Your burger? How is it?" He asked between gobbling his donut down. "You should have gotten the burger if you were so interested in it, four eyes," was what I would have said if I was not in complete control of my emotions.I tended to be harsh at times, I knew that so I double checked every time before speaking.I peeked up at him to reply generically, "it's good. Thank you," before turning back to the tasty burger. It was good, the best thing I had eaten in days. The meat was cooked and seasoned in a way I did not
