Chapter 1

Lana’s POV:

With trembling fingers, I dared to open my small cabin room. The lights were finally off, which means the party has ended for good. All these hours, I shut myself in as I know the night might get much worse, if I stepped out. They will lock me up in one of the dungeons if they have any idea what I am up to.

Rex!!! My secret boyfriend and the future alpha of the pack. The only person who showed some mercy and love from this pack, and it turned out all fake. Or else how could he cheat on me ?? and even do worse??

Few hours ago…

I took the Olive color gown I bought for Rex’s special event. Yes, tonight he is going to be titled as the Alpha. I couldn’t be anymore happier. This was the day I was waiting, when he officially becomes the alpha of the pack. I am sure he will announce our secret love to the pack members, and finally they all will accept me to this family. But I am still on my nerves as how the pack member is going to accept a Luna without a wolf. I sighed and closed my eyes to gain some confidence. I am sure me and Rex are mates. Once my wolf comes out, everything will be fine. But I wonder when it will happen…!!

I kept my hair open as the way he liked it. Thank God, I finished my work early so that I could wait for him at our secret spot for him. The music blasting from the garden. The party has started, but I am not allowed to go or see his special moment as I am one of their servants.

Waiting like for an eternity, I heard something outside. Even though I am sure, nobody other than Rex would be there, I hide behind the long curtain with a shy smile. Today, I am going to gift my precious with him, just the way he wanted. And I am sure, he will mark me tonight… That thought made me blush.

As soon as I heard some noise, I was back from my dreamworld… Not just any sound, but moaning!!!

Even when my brain was giving me the worst possibilities, I stick with my heart, who believed Rex can never do this to me. And finally, when I dared to look what it was… My heart was shattered into thousand pieces.

There he was, undressing a girl with urgency and she was reciprocating the same.

It was Rex and… Kelly…!!

The daughter of the werewolf king, who was the one of the main reasons why I hated high school…

It was the worst moment of my life… My boyfriend with the person whom I hate the most…!!!

I closed my mouth with both of my hands and suppressed my sobbing, but it was too late that Kelly noticed me. Her face turned ugly as soon as she spotted me.

“What the hell… is she doing in your chamber ??” She shouted while striding with her long legs. Before I knew, she caught me by neck and pushed me to the floor. I dared to look up to see Rex’s reaction, only to get slapped by her. I felt the iron taste in my mouth to prove how hard she hit me.

“Bi*ch, What were you upto ?? Theft ?? or , were you planning to woo him to sleep with you…?? That must be it, what else can I expect from a girl like you…” She seethed venomous words at me

Enough is enough!! All these years, I tolerated all the yelling, cursing and even worked like a slave for the pack by thinking that, one day they will accept me. And what I got in return?? Only hate…!!

I stood up from the floor and stood in between them and vent my emotions into words,

“I came for Rex. But, not anymore.  And you, he might not know you well, but I do… You were the one who slept with almost every handsome boy in high school. And now you are saying, I am the Bi*ch…?? Don’t you think, it suits you more ??”

I know with the wolf they can kill me in a second and I am helpless even to fight back. But, Enough is Enough. If I am going to die, I won’t die without a fight.

My sudden response made her look pale while Rex was looking at me in daze. The next thing I know, she took me by next and started strangling me.

“Are you going to say something or are you going to looking at her all the night?? She disrespected your mate; all you could do is stay silent…!!” She hardened her hold that I could hardly breath. And the word she said made me lose my final strength to fight off.

She is his MATE… HIS MATE…

His promises were fake…

I looked at him for the last time, but my vision got blurred. The next thing I know, I was on the floor, struggling to breathe again, where Rex was holding Kelly away from me.

“Kelly, stop it. Will you? … She is going to die…” I heard him say.

“Stop?? She should die for the things she said. And what is going on between you two ??”

“It’s nothing, she must be dreaming things. Do you really think I will go after an orphan, especially a girl without a wolf… who is literally a servant in my pack ??” His words were like knives stabbing my heart again and again. Is this how he really thought about me??

“That’s what I thought. You can never stoop so low. So, she deliberately made stories about you and me. I am not going to let her get away with that. She only deserves death penalty for disrespecting her Alpha and his mate.”

“Baby, it’s a special day for us. I don’t want any bloodshed tonight. And most importantly, even though she is a weak, she is great at being a servant. Let’s punish her that way.”

“Oh Rex, you are so kind… Okay, I agree to let her live. On one condition, I think there’s another way we can use her. And that’s the best. Let her be the serve Lycans as S*x slave. My father is going to the Lycan palace tomorrow for future cooperation between us, she could be one of the gifts… Or else she must die…”

A shiver ran through my spine as I heard her. Death could be much better than what she suggested. Before, I could say something, I heard him say,

“Okay, guards… take her away from here.” He announced. I was looking at him in disbelief when those guards dragged me from there. I couldn’t read his eyes; it was like I didn’t know him at all.

And here I am, in my room, thinking about the worse could happen tomorrow. But how can a person change just like that

Who am I kidding?? She is the princess of the werewolves…

I must be dreaming… Who am I??

A nobody, an orphan who couldn’t even find her wolf.

A werewolf without a wolf is nothing but wastage of space for everyone. Whom should I blame??

The moon goddess ?? or my parents who left me in the woods for good??

My vision got blurred as my thoughts were killing me inside. I felt the sudden coldness in my body and here again, I saw something blurry… but beautiful hilltop and in seconds I came back to my reality.

What’s wrong with me??

I better die than being a slave. But what if I can escape tonight from all my miseries… throw all my painful past into trash and have a new start somewhere far away from here.

I should get out of here. I don’t belong here.
