Fake It!

SORA'S POV:-

I opened my eyes and with a loud gasp, I sat up on the ground. With fear in my heart, I looked around. There was no one around. Or so I thought. A moment later, a figure appeared in front of me, fearing me to my death. "Who are you? What do you want? Where am I? What am I doing here? Agh…!" I was unable to speak up all the questions I had in my head. Clutching onto my chest, I fell on the ground again.

I could barely breathe. The pain in my chest was unbearable. Yet, no one had mercy on me. The man who walked up to me, sat on a chair right in front of me and leaned closer. "I am Alpha Oliver Cougar. And this is the Dark Crescent Moon pack. Now that you know where you are, do you submit to me or not?" Alpha Cougar's question left me surprised for a moment.

It took me a minute to remember who Alpha Oliver Cougar was. He was the werewolf alpha my mother had married to. And he was the reason why she left me alone at the pack. She didn't even call or even text to ask if I was doing okay. Despite that ache in my chest, I could never let anyone dominate me like that. It was how I was. I might not have my wolf but I had a stronger will. Gritting my teeth, I shook my head while staring at the alpha's face.

It angered him more. He grabbed my jaw and squeezed it to the point, I felt like it was going to snap. His tight grip on my jaw was painful. But that pain was like an ant in front of the pain I felt in my chest. It was unknown and I couldn't understand why I had it. Then there was Noah's betraying voice echoing in my head, making me weaker and weaker by every passing minute. 

If it was not for the pain I was feeling in my chest, I would have broken down in front of Alpha Cougar. He let go of my jaw then slapped me across the face. "Take this fucking disgrace to the dungeon and lock her up. Until she decides to submit to my authority and live under my command." Alpha Cougar growled at me. 

Two men grabbed my arms and covered my face with a dark bag. I was dragged away almost instantly. They threw me into a cell. As they were locking me up, I pulled the bag off of my face and found one of the men, the taller one, staring at me with pure lust in his eyes.

Once I was locked, the other one also looked at me with a sympathetic look in his eyes. They walked away, but the taller one turned again and winked at me. I fell on the ground once I was left alone and started crying, clutching onto my aching chest.

……….

I was pacing back and forth, growling angrily. It took me a few hours to make peace with the fact that Noah had said all those mean things to me. I was right about him being my mate. But like everyone else in that pack, he also was my only weakness. Or maybe, to me it was my one small weakness but for everyone, it was a big deal. 

It was not my fault that I was born with no wolf. "What did you do to piss off Alpha Oliver?" A sweet and gentle feminine voice reached my ear, almost soothing the inner fight I had inside of my mind. 

"I refused to submit to his Alpha authority. My Alpha is Alpha Arnold as my pack is Ice Crest pack. I am one of the soldiers of that pack. Just because my mother decided to be with Alpha Cougar, doesn't mean I am supposed to submit to that man as well." I replied to her honestly. For some reason, through her voice, I felt like I could trust her. After all, she was also locked up in one of the cells with me.

I heard her chuckle as she heard the reason why Alpha Cougar actually locked me in. "Why don't you come to the corner of your cell? There is a hole in the wall. We will be able to talk freely." I was a little surprised by that but I didn't say anything. Her voice was so gentle, something I never experienced in my life. Except for Noah, no one was ever gentle and kind toward me. I just listened to everything she asked me.

I walked toward the end of the cell. What she called a hole, was a window between two cells. And I was surprised how no one really knew about it. "What's your name, sweet little thing?" She asked me, offering me her hand. 

I placed my hand on top of hers and told her my name. "Sora! My name is Sora Woods. Who are you? What did you do to piss off the grumpy ass alpha?" I asked and we both started laughing at the name I gave alpha Cougar.

"My name is Celeste. But everyone around here calls me Lady Agatha. You will address me as Agatha in front of everyone. But once alone, you can call me Celeste." She replied in a gentle tone, rubbing my hand so gently. The pain I felt in my whole body was gone in a minute. And the comforter I sought all my life, I found it in her soothing words and gentle voice.

"That stupid man can't keep me here unless I want to. I am here for a reason. Without it, he couldn't have touched my hair." I giggled as I heard her answering the second question I asked her. It felt like we had no difference at all. As if we were exactly like each other.

She was beautiful. I almost stopped breathing while looking at her. I was watching her when her eyes glowed and she froze. I gulped hard as I couldn't help but think that I did something wrong again. "Listen to me, sweet kid. Listen to me very carefully. You don't belong here. You have to get out." She started talking again after a few minutes and I jumped in surprise.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, my heart racing in my rib cage.

"Alpha Cougar will not let me go until I have submitted to him and have accepted him as my alpha. And I am never doing that." I added naively. She had something on her mind. Yet she stayed quiet until I was done speaking. 

I couldn't say why she was so infested with me so much. But I had to admit that I lived the attention so much. "I can understand how you feel. There is a way for you to kill two birds with one stone. You don't have to submit to that stupid man and you can also get out." She offered me a way to get out of the dungeon. I couldn't say I hated it. I also wanted to get out just so I could continue my training.

………….

I was sitting in front of Alpha Cougar. Well, I was on the ground while he was on a chair. He was staring at me impatiently. Although I didn't want to do it, Celeste still made me agree with her plan. She wanted me to get out and continue my training. It's what I wanted too. She told me everything I was supposed to do and everything I needed to know to survive in that pack. "Well! I am waiting!" Alpha Cougar spoke while staring at me. 

The heel of his right shoe was clicking against the concrete floor. "I, Sora Woods, submit to you, Alpha Oliver Cougar, and accept you as my alpha. I promise you my loyalty, my hard work and my respect." I submitted to him exactly how Celeste told me to do. I was not not so sure if it was going to work. However, I was surprised when I saw Alpha Cougar smiling at me.

He stood up from his chair and offered me his hand. I smiled and placed my hand on his. "It was this easy. Now you are free." He spoke as he pulled me out of the dungeon. Back in my mind, my conversation with Celeste was replaying. 

"What are you going to do? How can I get you out of here?" I asked her and she smiled.

"You don't have to do anything. These walls can never be strong enough to hold me in unless I want to. I told you before, I have a purpose for being here. And another one to guide you to the right path." She replied calmly, as if she was not in a dark and smelly dungeon but sitting into a floral garden.

"Just stay out of trouble. Be as submissive as you can be. There will be times when your dominating aura will try taking over you. But you will have to fight it." I nodded my head as I heard her. She sounded so serious about the whole thing. She told me a bunch of things about my future as well. If only I could understand it. She was talking in riddles and she told me that I would understand them when I would need to understand it.

Upstairs, I was given a room between the rooms of Alpha's twin sons. My room was a mess. I started cleaning up and soon, I changed the mess into a perfect room. It was a miracle that my mother let me have a big room like that.

I stepped out of my room and bumped into my mother who was glaring at me. I had no idea what I did to piss her off again. "Now that you have set your room, tone for you to get to work." My mother spoke coldly as she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the ground floor. She handed me the cleaning supplies and I knew exactly what she wanted me to do.

"From now on! You are an omega of the pack. You will serve the alpha's alpha's mansion and you can't say no to any of the chores. Do you understand me?" She growled at me, hatred dripping from her eyes. 

"Yes, Luna!" I replied in a low tone, controlling my anger in front of her. Before I would have murdered either her or her precious Solana, I walked away to complete the list of chores she gave me. I knew if I could stay out of t

rouble, I could request the Alpha to let me train with the soldiers of his pack.
