Chapter Five

Abigail's pov 

Racing into the nearest room I could find, I fell into a sitting position against the corner of the wall with tears in my eyes. 

With a heavy heart laden with pain and shame, I buried my face in my hands as I let out the tears which flowed down my cheeks. 

I was still shaking from the aftermath of his touch, his hands touching in places I haven't been touched before, his lips on my naked skin, his cock brushing against my forbidden area. 

James and I have been mates for three years but we have only gone as far as kissing. I had been stern about wanting to keep myself till after we officially became mates. 

Even though he had betrayed me, I still felt so guilty at how I was able to easily respond to the touch of another man. And that man had to be the Lycan himself. His voice, when he mentioned my name sent reverberated chills up my spine. My pussy still ached for his touch, still dripping from the lust. 

I yearned for him. I couldn't explain why I wanted that beast. But on seeing the hate in his eyes when he realized I didn't have a wolf shattered something in me. It made me feel insignificant and small and useless just as my father had made me feel. 

“He doesn't want me. Not even my father does. Nor my mate. I've lost everything, even my dignity. I don't deserve anything - not even to live.” I sit up, frantically looking around the dark room which turned out to be the kitchen. “I have to leave this place. The Lycan will only get angry and kill me out of disappointment.” 

He could have several more heir bearers even more powerful and stronger than I was. Who even am I and what did he ever see In me? My vision was blurred by my tears, but my mind was thinking fast. I wiped my eyes and quickly headed towards the window. 

Without hesitation, I threw the door open and jumped out. The night gown I had on was skimpy and my feet was bare but that didn't deter me from dashing away, into the deep forest without turning back. Each second, It would feel like I was being followed but I increased my pace, in hopes that I would at least go a measureable distance away from the pack before Lycan Daniel realized I had run away. 

Would he even care? 

I kept running, even though the twigs and branches kept tugging me back, even though my feet kept getting blisters and cuts, it didn't deter me from running even faster. 

The full moon was out tonight. The moment I stumbled on a branch and dropped to the floor, I heard the spine chilling sound of a wolf howling. 

The rippling sound of the wolf howling tore through the end, sending unending nerves of fear and horror through my body, causing the hairs at the back of my neck to stand up. 

I scrambled up to my feet, ready to run, only to spot a large wolf right Infront of me. My heart skipped a beat so hard that I almost lost consciousness. The wolf was large and towered over me 6 feet. That was because it was standing on its hind legs like a man. Its stare was ferocious and menacing and as it approached me, I staggered back. 

I knew I had no chance against it, but just before I made my move to run, it shifted and right there was Lycan Daniel. Although, back in his human form, his gaze was still glaring and intimidating, only this time, they were cerulean midnight blue and not crimson red like blood. 

“Y…I…” I began stuttering, unsure of what to say, until he matched towards me and grabbed my neck, pinning me hard to the bark of a tree behind me. 

I thought he was planning on killing me himself, when I heard his Beta's voice right behind him. 

“You raced several kilometers per hour just to kill her after you found her?” 

Daniel rolled his eyes before forcefully letting go of me, watching me with no remorse as I slid down to the floor with my hands around my throat, coughing. 

“The Omegas were all on the search for you until one of them spotted the kitchen window opened and we traced it down to your footsteps indicating you had escaped. Are you stupid? It's lower than 13°c out here and there could have been rogues, it's a full moon night, and for someone who's as weak and fragile as a human, you coukd have died.” 

“And so what if I died. It's not like I matter to you? Just save yourself the stress and pain of having to deal with me and let me die.” I didn't realize when I had snapped back at him until his gaze darkened and my eyes widened in shock. 

“Your Majesty… “ The Beta starts saying warningly but he had already reached up and grabbed me off the ground, his hand wrapped around my hair this time around tugging so hard on my scalp, it felt like everything would come off. 

“You want to die so badly. Fine then. I won't refuse or stop you from doing so, because honestly, I think you're so pathetic to even be alive.” His words were like arrows, shooting right into my heart and piercing inside till I could breathe anymore but just feel my tears running down my cheeks. 

“Unfortunately, you're the sole bearer of my heir and I can't let anything happen to you at the moment. So as of the next ten months, you will be my Breeder. You will mate with me, you will bear my child and then you can leave after nurturing him.” 

I was distraught at his words but also shocked at the revelation but I thought about the fact that I had to bear the monster’s child and was against it. He was evil and would kill me. I was unsure he would keep to his words. 

“A contract will be prepared between us. While with me, you will be well taken care of, fed, clothed and groomed well, even during the time of your pregnancy. But you'll be reminded that we are nothing close to couples or mates and you should not expect any sort of affection towards you from me. The only time we'll touch is when we fuck and that's the only time we'll see. I hate you Abigail Aaro and just as much as I hate you, I want you to hate me the same, because I will be your greatest nightmare if you don't keep to our contract agreement.”
