Chapter 2 Captivity
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56(Amber's POV)
I felt my soul leaving my body as darkness engulfed my vision, rendering me unable to move a single step.
"How disgusting! This filthy Omega's blood has stained my latest designer dress..." It was my stepsister's mocking voice that made me realize I wasn't dreaming. My father had actually used his claws to pierce through my mate's throat.
On the ground, my mate was still writhing in agony. Rae's angry and pained voice brought my focus back. My gaze turned into daggers, aimed at my stepsister and immediately shut her up!
"Listen... Amber! Have you forgotten my words?" My father smirked, stopping me from approaching my mate.
As his grimy hand clung to my arm, a sickening knot formed in my stomach, and a fiery surge coursed through my veins!
Despite in pain, Rae took over. My hands turned into sharp claws and angrily threw my father aside. We immediately rushed towards our mate!
"Please... No! You'll be fine," Rae kept licking his wounds, making a last-ditch effort to save him, but he was bleeding out too fast... No one could survive that kind of wound... not even the strongest Alpha.
The despair and grief that pooled in our souls was overwhelming. Hope was fading. I didn't want to miss the last chance to tell my mate how much I longed for him.
"Please Rae... let me talk to him... I need him to know that I didn't want this to happen..." I sobbed hopelessly in my mind and reluctantly, she gave control back to me.
The only sound in the now deathly silent banquet hall was my father's warning growls and snarls as I shifted back and crouched over my mate.
I stared down at him with tears streaming down my face as I pressed my hands over the wound on his neck in a futile effort to stem the flow of his blood. I knew it was too deep, but I had to try.
"I'm so sorry," I choked as I leaned forward and pressed my forehead against his, "I never wanted this to happen... I want you... I want us... please don't leave me..."
His crimson eyes connected with mine as his hand reached upwards and landed weakly on my own.
"You..." he gasped as I sobbed loudly, "this is all because of you..."
It felt like my heart had stopped. I blinked in shock as I looked down at him, Rae's mournful howl echoing loudly in my head.
"No! That's..." I protested as he weakly tried to push me away, his eyes beginning to lose focus.
"This is your fault." He murmured weakly, "If I wasn't your mate... this would never have happened."
"Please... don't say that... I'm sorry..." I sobbed in a broken whisper as his breathing became shallower. I hugged him harder and tighter, fantasizing that his life wouldn't be drained away so fast because of it.
"I curse you..." he gasped as he stared weakly up at me, the anger and rage burning brightly in his eyes, "I, Eric Johnson, curse you with my life to never be happy, to be betrayed for all eternity—".
With his last breath, his eyes rolled and his hand fell away from my chest.
"No!" A hiss of despair shook out of my chest and I felt unable to breathe.
The tears streamed down my face as I screamed into the oppressive silence as Rae howled her grief alongside my own, but suddenly, there was an ill-timed taunt from behind me, "Don't be a drama Queen Amber... he is nothing... was nothing. This is for the best."
I looked back at my father, who looked at me with disdain, as if this life didn't matter.
"Why would you do this?" I growled, my eyes blazing furiously as I stood to the side of my now-dead mate's body, "I'm already going to reject him! Why are you killing people at will?"
"Watch your language!" Father inhaled angrily." Have you forgotten that bitch? I told you, only death will put an end to accidents! I will never allow another omega gene in my family! EVER!"
That bitch? I knew he was talking about my mother. My father hated me just because my mother was a homeless omega, and he saw it as a punishment from the Goddess for tainting his noble Alpha bloodline.
"Someone!" Without waiting for me to retaliate, he angrily ordered the guards, "Take Amber away!"
Everyone in the room remained silent, afraid to speak. I see my stepmother and stepsister not far away looking at me with smiles on their faces. I must look like a clown right now!
"Amber! I told you! He's an asshole! You can't trust anything he says!" Rea yells in my head. Yes, we can't trust him anymore, everything he says is a lie, it's all to control me better, there's no way he'll ever respect me, much less actually let me see my mother!
"Rae, do you fear death?" My scarlet gaze fixed on the hypocritical bastard, the blood from his fingers still not dry.
Rae didn't answer me, but my bones began to rattle, my joints began to extend outward, and as I let out a roar of rage, I quickly lunged at the bastard!
My fangs sank sharply into his arm and the taste of blood spread through my mouth. The taste of blood turned us on.
"Bitch... HOW DARE YOU?" Rage spilled from my father's mouth.
"Ow-" He SHIFTED into a huge black wolf and threw me out with force.
The huge difference in strength caused me to be quickly thrown against the wall by him. I heard the sound of cracking ribs and blood quickly spurted out of my mouth.
"Someone! Wolfsbane!" I vaguely heard someone give the order. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my neck and a wave of excruciating pain rushed through my body, as if fire traveled through my veins and I writhed in agony on the floor.
"Hopefully the wolfsbane will knock some sense into you and if that doesn't then an indefinite stay in the dungeons until you learn to behave well." He whispered hatefully into my ear as I clawed desperately at my own skin.
He released his hold on my neck and stepped back, taking a deep breath as he ran his hands through his hair.
"My apologies," He said with a somber voice, "She's not well mentally, as you can see. That's the only reason that I never introduced her to you. Guys... she's simply too unstable. "
As my consciousness began to fade and I felt rough hands grab hold of me, I swore to myself that no matter what happened, one day I would seek my revenge... no matter how long it took.

(Amber's POV) Three years later, in the cell. "I curse you..." I still remembered the night that my mate died vividly... it replayed over and over again in my mind and my mate's dying words haunted me endlessly. I'd thought of taking my own life, but I knew my mother was still waiting for me. Though I didn't know if she was still alive, until I heard definitive news of her death, I wouldn't give up on my own life! My father had only imprisoned me; he hadn't killed me. I believed that in his eyes, I still held some value. So while he demanded my obedience, he wouldn't let my mother perish. However, I wasn't simply kept locked in a dungeon. For the past three years, I had been kept here in solitary confinement, with only the stoic presence of the guards and the unwanted advances of the men that my stepmother sent to try and take the one remaining precious thing that I had left to me. My virginity. She and my stepsister viciously tried to turn me into a whore. Thankfully, none of

(Amber's POV) As I left the dingy hallways of the dungeon and stepped out into the light, my eyes squinted shut reflexively as my hands flew up to shield them from the glare. After so long in the darkness, the warmth of the sun's rays was a welcome relief on my pasty skin, but the light was almost excruciatingly painful for my eyes. As I take a deep breath, I finally feel Rae's awareness of the three years that Rae has been in a deep sleep because of our mate's death. Rae?" I stop myself, worried that it's just my imagination. "Amber, it's me, I'm back." After a short silence, Rae finally answers me. Suddenly I feel the sun begin to warm. I heard my father click his tongue in disapproval at our reaction to being outside after so long, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of provoking a reaction. So, I resolutely followed him in silence, shielding my eyes and glancing to the sides furtively to see if anything had changed within the layout of the pack land on the walk from

(Amber's POV) "What is she talking about?" I asked furiously, my tone holding a dangerous edge to it. "Don't worry Amber, Daddy found the perfect match for you," My stepsister's voice rose gleefully as she clapped her hands in excitement, "You should be happy that he went out of his way to find such a good match for you, especially after your public disgrace." She tittered as I growled lowly. "Are you for fucking real right now?" I scoffed angrily as my father's face darkened, "You hold me in a dungeon for three years, subject to the horrors of the guards that your bitch of a wife personally handpicked to punish me and now you retrieve me only to marry me off to goddess knows who?!" I could feel Rae's rage building at a far faster rate than my own and it took everything in me to stop her from wrenching control from me and surging towards these two conniving little bitches that directed everything behind the scenes. "Your sister is right. After what you did at your Bar Mitzvah..."

(Ryan's POV) I was in total darkness and all I could see was two men writhing together in the distance, one of them my father. I yelled and ran as hard as I could. But no matter what, I couldn't get close to them. "Father!!!" I shouted out to my father but he didn't reply, simply turning his head from his position on the floor and smiling half heartedly at me as the man who sat above him lifted his arm and plunged his claws straight through my fathers chest. Blood spurted out. "NO!!" I woke up with a start, my chest heaving as the emotions of the nightmare still ran rampant inside of me. I looked around in confusion at my surroundings but it didn't take long for me to realize that I had obviously fallen asleep in my office and the memories of that night had haunted me in my dreams once again. I let out a long breath and ran my hands over my face as I forced my heart to slow its rapid beating in the comforting silence. That was part of the reason that I worked so hard... to escape

(Amber's POV). I waited patiently outside the doors of the pack house waiting for the Beta to return but instead an Omega was sent to collect me and showed me to my room. "Is... is Ryan alright?" I asked her as we walked through the corridors, but she didn't answer me and avoided my eyes completely. I turned to thank her for bringing me to my room, but I was forced to step back hastily as the door closed quickly and narrowly avoided hitting me in the face. "Great. We've traded one prison for another." I muttered despondently as I sagged down onto the bed, "I don't understand any of this Rae, why would he react this way to us?" Rae whined softly as she paced in my head in distress. "I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. This was the first time that I've ever seen him, so there's no possible way that we could have offended him somehow." "Maybe our stepmother set this up for us... or our stepsister... they're petty enough." Rae growled. "I don't know... it wouldn't make sense to

(Amber's POV) "It seems our Luna hasn't yet adapted to her new role, has she?" a mocking voice followed. "So, it's our duty to reinforce her memory," another derisive voice chimed in. I woke with a gasp to an unknown icy sensation spreading across my face and as my wolf and I spent a moment in panic as the haze of sleep lifted from us, we suddenly realized that the sheets and mattress around us were soaked. Before I could piece together what had happened, a woman with a squirrel-like face appeared in my field of view and her nose wrinkled in disgust as she looked us over. "You won't be lounging around all day now that you're here." She sneered, "It's seven already and work started hours ago for the rest of us. Get up, you're late." I blinked up at her as I tried to decide whether or not I wanted to let Rae answer her, but eventually, I decided against it. Ryan had already made it clear that he was going to make life difficult for me here and out of spite, I had already made the

He demanded with a confused expression, "I thought you were going to fetch the chef so that I could tell them what a wonderful job they did?" Ryan opened his mouth to reply but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of taking credit for the food or hiding the fact that it was me who had put all the hard work into producing this, so I answered before he could. "Actually, your grace, you are meeting the chef." I said, raising my eyes confidently to meet both his and his wife's gaze, "I wanted to make sure that you ate only the finest food, as you both deserve, so I wanted to see to it myself. I can't offer much but if there's one thing that I know how to do well, it's preparing tasty food." The Alpha King clapped his hands together in delight as he looked between Ryan and me, which in itself was an extraordinary action. Normally, he didn't

(Amber's POV) After the meal had finished and the Alpha King and his wife left, Ryan disappeared for a time so I returned to the kitchens and let the omega's know just how much the food we had made together had been appreciated by everyone who ate it. Despite their protests, I helped them clear the dishes and return the kitchen to its orderly state before heading back to my room. But I didn't get to make it that far as I suddenly found my wrist being clenched tightly as I was dragged in the opposite direction. "Wait! What are you doing?! Let go of me!" I cried as I pulled against the unknown assailant but when my senses returned and I took in the broad shoulders and furious eyes of the man in front of me, my heart sank when I realized it was Ryan. "I hope you're fucking pleased with your achievements today," He hissed savagely as I found myself pulled forward and shoved through the doorway of a room that felt as welcoming as Ryan's personality. "What are you talking about? I trie

Tom’s PoVBy the time our party arrived at the packhouse, the sun was already casting long shadows through the leaves of the forest. It was these shadows that we moved through to the entrance I had escaped through with Lily in what seemed like an eternity ago.After a brief discussion with the mercenary leader, they agreed that I should lead the raid on our former pack house. As Ryan’s Beta, this was personal to me and I felt as though I had a score to settle as he couldn’t be here himself. This thought only made me more determined to succeed.The mercenary leader had taken a few of his men to lead a smaller raid on Alpha Luke’s territory with the intent of snatching him without too much issue. He had never invested in defensive infrastructure as much as he should have, so getting in and out for them would be easy.The air inside the tunnel that I led my band of misfits down seemed to be thick with tension as we made our way silently through the darkness, stopping only when we reached

Delores wanted the mercenaries ready to move out at a moment's notice and Ryan was counting on my support so I did the only thing I could think of and began making sure that my own preparations were in order.By the time I had everything organized and moved to wake the mercenary leader, Delores was already hovering in the corridor, watching me with interest.“What do you want?” I grunted as I went from door to door rousing the men as the leader got himself ready.“I’m just watching you work Tom. You’ve grown into quite a capable Beta, just as I knew you would. It makes my heart full with joy and pride to know that I was right.”I snorted and rolled my eyes as her gaze burned into me.“You didn’t know for sure back then, but you were still willing to leave two teenagers high and dry without the slightest idea what they were doing. I’d say that was pretty heartless.”“Really?” She mused, “I wo

They had been good enough to travel all this way, the least we could do was to make sure that they were well cared for while they were here.“So what do we do now?” I asked Ryan, biting at my nails nervously.“I guess now we wait,” He said, letting loose a long breath.“Do you think they’ll take long to reach a decision?” Lily asked as she pulled her chair closer to mine.“I doubt it,” My mother answered gloomily, “They have everything they need and more to make a well-informed decision.

Both Ryan and I stood to greet them and bowed our heads in respect as we greeted them warmly.“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you all,” Ryan said seriously as their smiles remained in place.“Well, we come when called, and in the event of serious issues…I would say that the alleged events qualify as serious issues…wouldn’t you?” The man at the front answered with a sigh.“Delores said that the Alpha King is still alive?” another Elder asked curiously, “Would it be possible to see him?”“Come now Cecil, can it not wait until after we’ve eaten?” Delores grinned as she appeared behin

Amber’s PoVI still hadn’t made my peace with the fact that my mother hadn’t been able to somehow let me know that she was okay sooner than my wedding night, and I was still reeling from the fact that Ryan had planned to completely destroy me in every way possible in order to get revenge on my father.I know that I had managed to win him over by being the exact opposite of Viola, but it still didn’t sit right with me because he seemed to be quite happy to spit in the face of the Goddess and our mate bond just to get his own back for the death of his parents.I had no part in their demise yet he would have happily thrown me to the proverbial wolves. What happened to the benevolent Alpha that took care of his pack and helped even the Omega’s feel safe under his care? Was it all just an act?“Amber?” Ryan’s voice came from outside the locked door that I refused to open for him, or anyone else for that matter while I tried to get my thoughts in order.“What do you want?

Tom’s PoVIt wasn’t difficult to track down Alpha Luke’s head of finance. When we found that he wasn’t anywhere near his workplace, we headed to the only other location that he was known to frequent.The smell of stale sweat that assaulted our senses as we entered the bar made me want to gag, but I did my best to hold back the urge.“I don’t see him here.” The mercenary leader murmured as we scanned the faces of the patrons here.I grunted in response and pushed my way past the bouncers who looked at each other hesitantly. This was a private club and only members were allowed, but with the mercenary leader at my side, engaging us was more of a risk for these men on the door.“He won’t be in plain sight.” I replied, “He has specific tastes that aren’t fit for public knowledge.”The mercenary leader’s face darkened as soon as he understood what I meant and he lifted his lip in disgust.“The back rooms then.” He snorted as he turned and headed straight for the door where an increasingly

You must..”“No! I don’t have to do anything. “ I hissed, “All of this talk about curses, secrets, prophecies, and lies…I never asked for any of this.
