AUDREY POV
“NO!” I blurted out, falling to my knees as I bring my hand forward and block a second slap.
All attention fell on me, My whole body was bruised and every single place hurt.
It had not been enough that all the warriors had punished me for forgetting to iron the uniforms yesterday but now, I was expected to take yet another hefty punishment before retiring to bed.
“Mistress Mary Ann, please. please forgive me. I forgot about the clothes because I had been so busy cleaning all the Servant quarters and helping with the new cutlery in the kitchen. I did not…”
A hefty slap landed on my face before I finished speaking, resounding all through the hall as tears cascaded down my cheeks.
“You worthless little thing. you had me reprimanded by the Alpha and now you feel the need to apologize?’’ She shouted angrily and in disgust directed towards me.
I could hear the gasps of all the other servants around me, None of them dare to do something. if that happened, then they will also be joining in this torture.
We have been taught and raised to take all the beatings without complaining, to suffer in silence. As an Omega in black diamond Park, rebelling against our superiors is unheard of.
“Please,” I cried out, wiping the tears and trying to ignore the stinging pain across my cheek.
I don't know how many times I have been slapped or punished in the past week. The events that were being planned in the pack were just so many that it was more difficult to handle all the workload given to us. More and more servants had been given the same punishment. But it would seem that today was my unlucky day.
“ That's right. you should be begging,because that's all you're capable of doing. you bring no benefit to this pack and you are nothing more than a slave.’’
Slave.
You'd be surprised how many times that would have been used ridiculously to describe it. Being at the alpha's mercy meant that these people got to call us whatever the hell they wanted.
Mary Ann went down, bringing her wrinkly fingers towards my chin as she forced me to look up at her.
She smelled beautiful.
She always smiled and because of the countless perfumes that she always put on, have always filled in the room.
As servants of black diamond Pack, we are entitled to a salary that accommodates the services that we offer, But Mary Ann who is the head of all Omegas, or as they like to call us, ‘ slaves.’ has been receiving our salaries on behalf of Us, and yet not a single dime enters our pockets.
Anyone who tried to stand against her ended up disappearing, "silenced".
The alpha knows about it but he displays no problem with it. As long as all the Omegas are well trained and disciplined then he couldn't care less.
“ Now you listen to me, you little shit.’’ She says, drops of saliva spatting onto my face. “I am responsible for every lesser slave in this Pack and I will not have you Parade yourself as an entitled little sheet. you do whatever the hell you're told with no questions. you take the punishments given to you without an argument. if I say you haven't done something properly then you have not done it properly. if I complain about your productivity then You're only supposed to answer with ‘yes ma'am.’ am I properly understood?’’
I look up at her, trying to control the flow of Tears. I don't know why I was f****** crying. I had gone through much worse than this.
But today has been different.
It would seem that everyone just had something against me. Being beaten up by the Warriors wasn't enough. I had to be punished for simply existing. For not bowing my head whenever they looked at me.
For not disappearing from their presence immediately they entered the rooms. For not looking humble enough while I served anything to them.
“Yes ma'am,” I speak, looking into her eyes.
I can see an expression of satisfaction on her face. She has always loved feeling superior. instilling fear. Was there ever going to be a day where I tasted freedom?
“Very good,” she said, nodding her head as she released my chin and stood to her feet.
MaryAnn had always been an elderly woman. At the early age of 50, she was a mean woman who looked for any apparent reason to make our lives a living hell. Rumors are that she used to have a child who act as a servant just like every one of us. But she was murdered by the daughter of the alpha for accidentally spilling the tea on her dress. I have never known Marianne to be anything different than a monster.
“ May I go now?” I find the courage to ask after noticing that all the other omegas around as it already started disappearing into the Chambers and others into the tasks assigned to them.
But to my question, Maryann returns a hefty mocking laughter where she looks at me yet again as though I was a joke to the wolf nature.
“Oh my darling, the Warriors have decided that you have not been properly punished for your incompetence today. I'm sure they have a lot of creative ideas to make you fully understand that in this Park, duties are assigned for a reason.’’
‘’But Miss Maryann, I was only unable to do those things because you overloaded me with other duties while I was supposed to be going through..’’
Another heavy slap lands on my face before I have a moment to react.
‘ don't you ever mention my name in the excuses you create for yourself? I gave you more work because you are a slave. My job is not to figure out how you will do all your tasks at once. what have I told you about answering back to me? How have I told you you should respond whenever I'm talking to you? it seems that you never f****** learn. I'm going to teach you.’’
And with the utterance of that statement, she had proceeded to grip my hair tightly dragging me towards the back entrance of the kitchen and to the large well that was situated right behind it.
My eyes widened with horror as I tried to run, but she was stronger than me. And I was frail and fragile and so tired from the day's work and the torture I had already received.
Standing next to that well that most of the other warriors that had taken turns telling me earlier today.
The sinister expressions on their faces have not faded, they were excited. Excited to torture an innocent person. Excited to make my life a living hell.
All I could think about while I was dragged towards the large water body, is whether the moon goddess abandoned and left other lesser beings like myself.
AUDREY POV I drag myself towards the quarters, I had exhausted all my energy while climbing the stairs, and I slumped on the door while trying to open it. I was so scared that I couldn't even cry. That is by far the worst form of punishment that has ever been given. The horrific feeling of drowning has not yet left my mind. It still possesses my body. From time to time I feel as though my head is still held under that water. I breathe deeply, my fingers shaking as I reach for the doorknob behind me and finally managed to twist it. The piercing and rusting sound it releases while it scratches against the hinges and opens is irritating. But it's nothing compared to the suffering they have gone through. All my life I have watched other werewolves live the life that I desired. Not on the larger basis of it but just the idea of having someone who cared for me. Someone who was worried for me. But that never happened. And I have been forced to exist in a world where I was only vie
AUDREY POV“A…ai…AirPack?” That is the only word I can let out as I stare at his red eyes. That couldn't be. I ought to have heard it wrong, I could not see his face. it was frustrating that I couldn't see his face, the little light of the moon only illuminated the trees behind him.“No one crosses my territory and lives. Who are you?! What are you doing here?” He asks, his horse husky voice vibrating right to my Core. His scent enslaved me. He smells so wonderful. I have a strange feeling at the tip of my stomach, but maybe it's just death. How close it is,how ready I am to give up?"I writhe and struggle against his strong arms. But he does not stop. He did not put me down, he continued squeezing my throat. As if my life didn't mean anything, the world would not miss me if I died. My death would never even make a difference, And yet here I was still fighting for my life.“Pathetic.” He spat, his fingers leaving my neck as he allows me to slide down. I gasp and breathe in d
AUDREY POV I run until my feet start to hurt. But it doesn't stop me. I don't feel threatened,I only feel the need to survive. All this time, the only image that plays in my head is that of the mystery man. I feel so drawn to him, I feel attracted to him. In ways, I could never imagine. It's almost like my body pulled me towards him. Back there, I had an ache to trace my fingers over his defined abs and even kiss him. Was I crazy for feeling this way? Was I just being pathetic? He was a powerful man for crying out loud. I could tell from his aura. His scent was filled with dominance, He was a man in charge. But I still don't seem to understand where he is from.Why had I not had the chance of seeing his face?There are a lot of regrets whenever I think about that, i can tell that he felt exactly what I was feeling. He had not chased me when I started running. Only remained standing there, Like he was frozen.The words he had shouted kept resounding inside my mind. Is it true? Is
ALPHA HERCULES Only one image is stuck in my head, I feel lost, confused, And these were not feeling that I easily welcomed. I am an alpha for crying out loud. The most feared and ruthless Alpha, yet I had gone weak in the presence of a female.“ Martin!’’ I call entering my throne room. If there was one thing I will do when I caught her, it'll be to punish her for running away from me. Did she not know who I was? Could she not feel it? I have mastered her face at the back of my mind. Oh, goddess, She is beautiful.But she was scared, afraid of me for some reason. And yet that already made Bond is supposed to make us feel comfortable and safe in each other's arms. Supposed to complete us. When I touched her, there was so much pain and suffering. She was so scared of me that all I wanted to do will show her that I wasn't going to hurt her. But how was that even possible? She had already made assumptions about me, I could tell that she was running from me because she knew who I
AUDREY POV Estrangement. I have always felt estranged in this pack. This is the place I'm expected to call my home. As a servant, I have been given different chores all my life. I have taught myself to be somewhat a perfect servant. to listen to instructions and do as mistress MaryAnn pleases. As the warriors command. But in a way it would seem that the work I had chosen to give myself today was much more devastating than all the other tasks I had ever been given. Maybe it was something about how excruciatingly painful it was to imagine that I had tried to find a better life for myself outside the boundaries of this pack and failed miserably. The memories of that man are still stuck inside my head. I have come up with a thousand ideas as to how he possibly looks. His face is still the only thing that I have not seen. Was it crazy that I was now thinking about how big his cock was? I've never seen that. never seen a man naked. While I have never fantasized about that I truly didn't
ALPHA HERCULES Sleep had become foreign to me tonight. When I tried to shut my eyes all that I could think about was that beautiful female back in the forest. The bond and connection I felt with her. She was my mate. The woman that the moon goddess created for me. Was it crazy that I'm still in disbelief?I got up from bed, sweat breaking profusely from the pores on my forehead as I clenched my fist. I was tired. There was only about 3 hours before the sun rose. I had hoped to get just a little bit of sleep because I knew that the festivities of looking for my mate tomorrow might be tiring. But even that was not possible. because I still kept thinking about her. My wolf would not let me sleep. Is it not ironic? I hear the twisting of my doorknob. Suddenly I'm alert. Ready to pounce and attack. After all, I had been on the edge so much that veins pumped blood of malice. I was ready to tear anybody apart.The doorknob twists again, this time with much slower movements. My heart thud
ALPHA HERCULES “Alpha,’’ Martin calls out. “ You have been invited to daylight Pack a week from now to attend the celebration for the union of both Alpha Jeremy and his mate.’’ The mating process was beautiful. The moon goddess created all of us for a specific person. A wolf that was meant to strengthen us. To make us better and to complete us. ‘Where is his mate from?’’ I ask in a low tone. Sometimes it's often a little easier to be jealous of the other alphas who find their mates. For a long time now I had grown accustomed to the idea that I would spend my life alone. Ruling this pack alongside my servants and my beta.It has been three centuries. “A tiny human village from the far south outside the American border.’’ Martin’s answer seems to baffle me. “A human?’ I ask, breathing deeply. I was perfect at hiding emotions. But the disdain and disgust evident on my face couldn't be a secret. The humans. Pathetic. Worthless. Just like all the wolves of a lower rank in the packs. “T
ALPHA HERCULESI have always been uncomfortable in territories that did not belong to me. Call it agitated but it's the truth. There is always a possibility of being double-crossed or other alphas plotting against me. I know of my reputation. I have listened to the rumors they speak about me. I am proud of them. Proud to be called the ruthless emotionless alpha who kills without second thought. That is after all the reputation that an alpha deserves. And I have kept up to that name and made sure my people are well protected. But now, I leave the confines of my home and journey to the neighboring Pack.Alpha Brandon, was a Kind man. Much Kinder than what I would expect of him. Black Diamond Pack was the third largest pack in the werewolf community. mine being the biggest followed by Silverlight pack.Alpha Brandon was a soft caring man. Pathetic if I may say. Being a man with a good heart certainly didn't benefit political warfare.“Halt.’ I hear a strong masculine voice speak out. I
SUMMARY ____ She was an omega of the lowest rank in her whole pack. Maltreated and reminded every single day that her existence was nothing useful in the pack. That night , she attempted her first escape from the pack but she had bumped into this man. A man that smells of power and he was going through his transformation..Scared, She was left with no other option than to escape from the pack. In her pack, there's a big festival going on that requires the Alpha of the neighboring pack to visit. AUDREY was scared, she hadn't seen the face of his man but she recognized his scent and she rotted to meet him again. Hearing him scream over to her that he was his mate was one ridiculous thing to hear. She knows nothing about mate, even if she do.. love isn't for her. All her days and years in the pack, she had believed being mated to someone to be just nothing but a fairy tale. With difficulty, Audrey pushes herself to stop thinking about this strange man. When the festival had b
Later that evening, Audrey walked over to May's chamber. May had been particularly odd these days and Audrey intended to find out what was wrong with her.After several knocks, the door opened and May engulfed Audrey in a warm hug the moment she laid eyes on her."So, how is life with Hercules?"May asked as she closed the door, while Audrey walked over to the bed to sit."Mammon came to have lunch and he forced me to reveal the secret to Hercules."May had gotten wind of the information about Audrey's supernatural abilities. At first, she was surprised but eventually came to the understanding that Audrey used her powers for good."Hercules seemed pissed and so I needed him to cool off before speaking to him."May stared at Audrey with a sad look. She walked up to her friend and hugged her; she didn't want Audrey to feel any more pain again."Uhm, Audrey?"May called, while they were still hugging. "I have something to tell you."Audrey released herself from the hug and stared at her frien
"Alpha, this would be the tenth person that has died a strange death in the land. We need to find a way to stop all these deaths from occurring else we are bound to be headed for doom"Martin revealed.It was the fifth day after the new moon had risen and members of the air pack were constantly raising to the reality that as the day passed, some of their pack members kept getting caught up to the cold hands of death. Hercules has been in a state of dilemma, everyone was crying out to him to save them from the horrific strings of death. It was something that Hercules knew was beyond ordinary. "Tell every member of the pack that I assure them that a solution would be found to this strange death occurrence in no time. I would ensure that no death is fully recorded again. All I need is time"Hercules assured his Beta Martins. "My Lord, if we keep making promises, we would become objects of ridicule and that is not what we are my lord, we are men with valor and sagacity and so, we must ac
While they continued talking, the door opened and a very sad Audrey stepped into the room. There was a look of sadness that had taken over her countenance and Hercules rushed over to meet her, while May stepped out. "I am sorry Audrey, the pack knows you as their Luna and you got a warm reception. It is only better that you continue what has been started"Hercules pleaded and Audrey refused to speak to him. He was feeling so much guilt, that he got up from the bed and was about heading out, when Audrey stopped him in his tracks. "I would take the hundred whip from you. However I need you to make me one promise"Hercules turned around to face Audrey, waiting to know what the promise was all about. "I need you to make the whipping really hard, the same type that is given to a slave, when they are being punished" Hercules stared at Audrey in disbelief, his intentions all along was to make the whipping mild and with the promise given, he knew that Audrey was only trying to make him feel g
"He kissed you!"May asked in disbelief. Audrey was pretty much shy talking about the kiss Hercules had shared with her. "Do you know what this means Audrey? He is slowly coming to terms that you are his mate."May revealed. Hearing the words come out of May's mouth, made her anxious. If Hercules would take her as a mate, it meant that she would eventually be the Luna of the pack. Audrey was about to make a statement, when they both heard a knock on the door. May walked towards the door and Martins stood there with a smile on his face. Audrey noticed how absurd May and Martins stared at each other; things really happened while she wasn't around. "I am here because the Alpha sent a message to Audrey."Audrey looked up at Martin. He had a smile on his face. He pulled out a letter from his pocket and handed it over to May. "Congratulations Audrey."Audrey was confused and was about to ask a question, right before he would close the door. May tore out the wraps around the letter and flipp
"Audrey?"The voice became even more clearer. Instantly, her eyes flung open and they immediately landed on May. "Thank goodness, you are awake!' May yelled and hugged her friend, crying into her shoulders. Things looked particularly different for May as her hair had suddenly grown a little bit longer. "How long have I been out?"May released herself from the hug and stared at her friend. "You have been out for three full blown moons."Audrey stared at May in disbelief. After her return, May ensured that Audrey stayed in the room for some days, before allowing her out of the chambers. According to May, Audrey needed to be fully recovered before she could continue her task as maid. On the day Audrey was finally given the chance to walk out of the room, Audrey decided to take a stroll around the mansion. Nothing had changed for the three full moons that she had disappeared, only the construction of the mansion, which made Audrey surprised to see that the building had been increased, ra
Meanwhile, Audrey was in search of Sharon as the rest of the rogues and her mate raided the palace. She wanted nothing more than to have her head on the platter of gold. "There is no sign of her here."Zedicus said, rushing to meet his mate. The rest of the rogue came in as well. "She wouldn't have gone really far. Let's....."Right before she could complete her statement, a force pulled everyone away and they all slammed their faces to the ground. When Audrey looked up, she was bewildered by the sight before her. Sharon with a sword of fire, all dressed in a dark long robe, which gave her the mystic sense stepped in. "Who do we have here?"Sharon commented seeing Audrey get up to her feet. "Quite a long time I must say."Audrey stood her ground, staring at every part of Sharon's body. It was like staring at a dark version of the moon goddess. "Ah! and look who is here; the former Alpha's son.i am impressed by how you both pulled that diversion. I wasn't expecting it in any way."Sha
Dr. Taylor stared at Mark's figure in horror. Just when he thought he could elude an entire battle, he was left facing his worst night mares. "Please, I beg you. I am sorry for what I did."He took to begging but this only made Mark even more angry about the whole situation. Mark grabbed hold of his neck and while staring him in the eye, he choked Taylor to death in such a fashioned and dramatic manner. Once he was certain he was dead, he threw his body away. Zedicus, Audrey and the rest of the rogues all stepped outside and were surprised to see Dr. Taylor was dead. "I had to kill him thinking about all he did anyways, so both of you shouldn't give me that stare."He said, referring to the look of disbelief on Kevin and Shawn's face. "Come on now, let's head over to my apartment"Mark suggested and everyone followed suit. When they arrived at Mark's apartment, Audrey noticed someone was standing by the entrance and not just anyone, but it was Alpha Jaden's Beta. "How did you fin
"The Institute of Science and Technology here in New York city, has an underground laboratory which they used in carrying out tests that would blow your mind. Ranging from the study of viruses to how to use Bacteria to kill others." Audrey sat down, listening to the man speak."Why are you telling me all this?" The man smiled and took the last drop of his wine and stated"A group of men were captured a few years back and they sapped out their DNA and combined it with a human DNA, long story cut short, I am evidence for their creation. My name is Mark" Audrey couldn't believe it. The humans were quite dangerous than she had thought and one peculiar thing she admired about them was how their brains work."So you want to tell me that you were created by humans?" Mark nodded."The moment I was given life, there was so much that happened; I had no life of my own, I was answerable to my creator and lastly I did his bidding. One day, my master was killed by his own friend with the intention
