The sharp slap echoed in the kitchen, the sting radiating across my cheek like fire. My head snapped to the side from the force and it took a moment to comprehend what just happened. Daisy stood in front of me, trembling with rage, her chest heaving as she glared.

"How dare you" she screamed her voice breaking with fury "how dare you try to seduce him!"

"I didn't" I cried holding my stinging cheek but my voice wavered, weak against her wrath. I know I am pathetic I could never stand up to any of them "he cornered me! He.."

"Liar!" Daisy shrieked, her hand twitching as if she were about to hit me again.

The commotion free the others to the kitchen. Members of our pack and the guests crowded the doorway, their murmurs filling the air as they watched the scene unfold.

"What's going on here" father's voice cut through the noise cold and commanding. He entered the kitchen his towering presence silencing everyone.

Daisy turned to him, tears streaming down her face, her expression twisted in indignation. "Daddy, she tried to seduce Zane" she cried pointing an accusatory finger at me "I caught her throwing herself at him like some desperate...."

"She's lying " I interrupted, my own tears spilling over. Desperate to make father see reason but deep down I knew no matter what I said father would never listen to me. "He cornered me! I didn't do anything!"

But my words fell on deaf ears.

Father's gaze snapped to me, his eyes blazing with fury. His lips curled in disgust as he closed the distance between us "is this true" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.

"No!" I sobbed shaking my head franticall. "I swear I didn't father..."

His hand struck me before I could finish, the force of the blow sending me sprawling to the ground. My vision blurred, stars dancing in front of my eyes as the pain radiated through my skull. Gasps erupted from the crowd that gathered but no one moved to help me.

"You disgraceful little whore" my father snarled, his voice dripping with contempt. "Just like your mother"

The words hit harder than the slap, cutting into me like shards of glass. My breath hitched and i struggled to hold back the sobs that threatened to escape.

Tears streamed down my face as I looked up at him, pleading silently for mercy, for understanding. But there was none in his eyes - only hatred.

"Take her to the dungeons" he barked, his voice sharp and unyielding.

The crowd murmured, whispers spreading like wildfire. The guards stepped forward.

"Father, please!" I begged scrambling to my knees, "I didn't do anything, please don't do this...!"

"Enough!" He roared silencing me. You've embarrassed this family enough, you're lucky I don't banish you from this pack entirely."

The guards grabbed my by my arms, their grips firm and unrelenting. I didn't have the strength to fight them as they hauled me to my feet.

The whispers grew as they dragged me through the crowd, judgemental eyes cutting through me like a blade. I looked down not wanting to meet their eyes.

"She's cursed" someone murmured "a disgrace to the Alpha's bloodline" another whispered.

I kept my head down, tears streaming down my face as they led me out of the kitchen and down the dark, cold hallway that led to the dungeons. My legs felt heavy, my heart shattered into a million pieces.

I had spent my entire life trying to win their love and acceptance, but tonight it felt like every effort I'd ever made had been for nothing. I didn't belong here.

When we reached the dungeons, the guards shoved me inside a damp, musty cell. The heavy iron door clanged shut behind me, the sound reverberating in the silence.

I sank to the floor, hugging my knees to my chest as sobs wracked my body. The cold floor bit into my skin but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

For the first time in my life, I allowed myself to admit the truth I had avoided for so long - I would never be enough for them, not for my father, not for daisy and not for anyone.

I was all alone.

And in the darkness and coldness of the dungeon, the truth became a weight too heavy to bear.

  • His mate, her fate (An alpha's possession)   Forgotten hope

    I don't know how long I spent in the dungeons. Time blurred in the cold, damp space. The single flickering torch on the wall cast long shadows, each movement amplifying the quiet creaks and groans of the old stone walls. The darkness felt alive, pressing against me, weighing me down.I traced a finger across my swollen cheek, wincing at the tender flesh. The initial sting had dulled, but the ache lingered, a constant reminder of my father's rage. His words echoed in my mind, sharp and cutting."You're a whore, just like your mother."The accusation clung to me, heavy and suffocating. What did he mean by that? My mother's name was rarely spoken in the pack. Father said she had died shortly after Daisy was born, and no one ever dared to question him. The only memory I had of her was a single photograph, a faded image of her when she was pregnant with me, so young and happy.I closed my eyes, picturing her youthful face. She looked so serene, her smile soft and full of hope. She couldn't

  • His mate, her fate (An alpha's possession)   Damien

    The moon shone brightly above, its silvery light filtering through the branches of the ancient oaks that lined the park. The stillness of the night would have brought peace to anyone else, but not to me. For me, it was just another reminder of the silence within - a hollow void that nothing could fill.I stood there, hands clasped behind my back staring at the horizon as if it held the answers I sought. Answers that I'd stopped believing I would ever find.DAMIEN The name was enough to make the strongest alphas lower their heads in submission. I was the Lycan King, feared and revered by all. My strength and ruthlessness were unmatched, my decisions final. There wasn't a single pack across the lands that didn't know my name, and the weight it carried.But none of it mattered.Not the power, not the respect, not the fear in their eyes.Because the one thing I truly wanted was gone.Her face came to me unbidden, like a whisper in the wind. Her laughter had once been the melody to my oth

  • His mate, her fate (An alpha's possession)    invitation

    Damien's POV Days had passed and the night was calm, the moon casting its silver glow through the grand windows. I sat in my study, staring at the flickering flames in the hearth. My desk was cluttered with papers of recent treaties, reports, and other documents that required my attention. Yet, my mind was elsewhere. I leaned back in the leather chair, my fingers drumming against the armrest. The silence of the room was oppressive, almost mocking. It gave space for memories I'd rather forget, for thoughts I couldn't suppress. Her face surfaced again, the curve of her smile, the warmth in her eyes, a constant reminder of the life I cherished. I closed my eyes briefly, the weight of her loss as fresh as it was years ago. No amount of time, power, or distraction had dulled the ache and these days the ache became unbearable. A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. "Come in," I said, my voice sharp but controlled. The door opened to reveal Adrian, my beta and the only p

  • His mate, her fate (An alpha's possession)   birthday preparation

    Arianne's POV The heavy iron door of the dungeons creaked open, the sound echoing in the dark, damp space. My body ached from the cold stone floor, I don't know how many days I had stayed in the dungeons, it felt like months but I know it hadn't even been more than a week. This was my life, little food had been brought for me while here. I winced as I stood, rubbing my wrists where the shackles had dug into my skin. After Liam left I had been put in shackles like some damn traitor that they caught. A guard stood at the entrance, his expression unreadable. "The Alpha has ordered your release," he said gruffly. I nodded, my legs shaky as I followed him out. The bright light of the hallway stung my eyes, and I had to blink rapidly to adjust, the room I was held into had no lights. When I reached my father's office, I braced myself. He was seated behind his grand oak desk, the very picture of authority.

    Damien's POV The car rolled to a stop in front of the grand estate, the glow of the pack house illuminating the night. Music and laughter drifted through the air, an unwelcome reminder of the festivities I'd agreed to attend. As the car door opened I stepped out, my sharp gaze taking in the scene before me. The front lawn was filled with elegantly dressed werewolves, their conversations blending into a meaningless hum. I already felt the irritation settling in my chest especially at the half naked ladies almost everywhere. Adrian climbed out behind me, his usual calm demeanor intact. He clapped a hand on my shoulder. "This isn't so bad Damien. Try to relax. Remember, this is about politics. but if you need entertainment" he smirked looking at the she wolves. I shot him a cold glance but didn't reply. Relaxing wasn't in my nature, especially not in a crowded setting like this, it only made me more irritated. We made our way to the entrance of the hall, the crowd parting inst

  • His mate, her fate (An alpha's possession)   forgotten birthday

    Arianne's POV The clatter of plates and the hum of the kitchen filled the air as I stood at the counter carefully arranging the snacks and drinks. My hands moved automatically, years of practice ensuring I didn't miss a step. But my mind was elsewhere tugged down by the weight of my reality. Today was Daisy's birthday. But it was mine as well. Twenty-one years. A milestone in any werewolf's life, the age when a wolf should fully mature, their bond with the pack solidified, at my age everyone had their wolf and mate. Yet, here I was still wolfless, still forgotten, still nothing more than a shadow in my family's eyes. A cursed daughter of the Alpha. The omegas scurried around me, their laughter and chatter barely masking the disdain in their glances. I was just another servant to them nothing more. The kitchen door swung open, and I glanced up to see Liam walking in, his familiar smile lighting up the room. He walked towards me with his hands behind his back clearly holding

  • His mate, her fate (An alpha's possession)    Humiliation

    The tray of drinks in my hands felt heavier with each passing second. The voices in the hall blurred into background noise as my mind raced with the faint whisper from earlier: Mate. Could it really be happening? After twenty-one years of rejection, ridicule and pain, was the Moon Goddess finally granting me a wolf and a mate? I dared not hope, yet the thought consumed me. My distracted thoughts betrayed me. I didn't see the figure stepping into my path until it was too late. The collision sent the tray tumbling, glasses shattering as liquid splashed everywhere. A shrill scream pierced the air, snapping me out of my daze. I looked up to see Daisy standing before me, her gorgeous dress soaked in the drinks I had been carrying. The outrage in her eyes was unmistakable and I knew I really fucked up and father wasn't going to spare me. "I… I'm so sorry, Daisy," I stammered, my voice trembling. "I didn't see you comi...." Before I could finish, the sharp sting of her slap echoe

    Gasps rippled through the crowd. "That's impossible," Daisy spat, her face twisting in disbelief. "How could someone like her be your mate? She's worthless!" She screamed in anger as if not believing the fact. I turned my glare on Daisy, my wolf growling at her audacity. "Watch your tongue, girl," I warned, my voice low and dangerous. "You may have treated your sister badly but she's my mate and you'll respect her accordingly." Daisy recoiled, her confidence faltering under my glare. Anger still evident on her face but contained. The room filled with tension. Kieran stepped forward, his expression hardening. "With all due respect King Damien daisy is right, Arianne is not worthy of such an honor. She's...." "She is your daughter," I interrupted, my voice laced with disdain. "Yet you treat her worse than a servant. You dishonor not only her but yourself and your entire pack." Kieran flinched but said nothing, his lips pressed into a thin line. I turned back to my mate who
