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
