I don't move from the spot I'm in on the floor. My hair is a disheveled mess, I'm sure my face is red from crying.He stands at the doorway looking unsure. For the first time, the almighty Alpha Liam of Silver Moon doesn't have words to say.He shuts the door behind him and tentatively comes towards me. Of all things I expect him to do; he lowers himself to sit beside me on the floor.It's dark outside and I have not lit any lanterns in my room.His green eyes glow subtly - anytime his wolf has the best of him, they do that.For a while, we sit in silence. Me with my broken spirit and Liam with his discomfort "Gwen-""Will you let me go then? Now that Tina is pregnant?" I don't give him a chance to deceive me into staying here. Sure, Tina might not produce a fated mate heir but she was strong. An alpha's daughter.Her blood would be good enough for the pack.With that, there was nothing left for me here."What do you mean? Tina's pregnant?"Liam must be an actor. He sounds so true
The healer's words replay in my head as I walk back to the omega house, Helen trailing silently behind me. "Two days if she must conceive." The phrase gnaws at my mind like a persistent thorn. My relief at not being pregnant is quickly overshadowed by the knowledge that I'm not free yet.Freedom is so close I can taste it, but it's also slipping through my fingers.Helen clears her throat behind me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Do you want me to fetch you anything? Food, maybe?"I glance over my shoulder at her, startled by the offer. Kindness is rare here, especially directed toward me. Suspicion creeps in, but I push it down. She seems genuine, and I'm too drained to dissect her intentions right now."No, thank you," I say, my voice hollow.She nods, her gaze darting to the ground before she scurries off, leaving me alone.As I reach my room, I lock the door behind me and slump against it, closing my eyes. My body feels heavy, weighed down by exhaustion and the relentless ache
Gwen's POVThe forest is eerily quiet; I can only hear my growling stomach.I know I shouldn't be so close to a pack territory as a rogue but there is hardly any other choice. Food first.Besides, any wolf I saw would most likely be an omega like myself. I could easily deal with those.Confident, I go further into the forest, following my nose as I rush through. Any animal would be fine, I just needed something quickly.The moon is out tonight and a cool breeze is blowing. If I was anywhere else, I would have been able to appreciate all this. But I could not.I'm too close to the Silver Moon pack. The Alpha of this pack was rumored to be extremely merciless to rogues. Infact, he was a legend- slaying any rogue he spotted on the spot. The stories had it that he had killed up to a thousand rogues.I move quietly and quickly through the forest, experienced after years of running and hiding. After my parents were killed by their pack for a crime they did not commit, I fled. Since then,
The Alpha makes my skin crawl.Two days ago, I was brought to the Silver Moon pack- labelled a slave. Not just any slave, of course.The entire pack believed I was Alpha Liam's plaything. A passing fancy of his.He had kept me locked up in a room; personally bringing me food and water. For some reason, he did not want anyone to come in contact with me. It's almost laughable. Of course he would not let anyone else from the pack meet me. How would they all react when they found out their ruthless rogue killing alpha was mated to an enemy?A mocking smile grows on my face as I think of this. He's afraid of being weak.Against my will, he brought me here. Why did he not reject me then? Why did he not end the bond that night?I remember the faces of the packmates that night when he brought me. How they howled and laughed at my helplessness over his shoulder. How my mate had enjoyed their praises; listened to them commend him for such a catch.My blood boils now as I think back to how hu
An heir? I was to remain here and give him an heir...By doing-Instantly, I try to push him off me but he doesn't budge, laughing instead. "I will not," I say. My voice is hoarse and hateful. Oh I'd be damned if I let this horrible creature inside me.So that's why he was keeping me locked here- waiting for me to break. He wanted to use me as a breeding mare. He actually wanted me to be his plaything; his whore. I'm shaking my head no, trying to push this beast of a man off me. Liam smiles and leans closer- he lets his forearms rest on both sides of my head.Our bellies are touching; I can feel his groin on my lap. My body tenses up. Being his whore, bearing his child, then what? He would take his sharpened claws and slit my neck open on the birthing bed? I would suffer through hell to bear his child only to be sent to the true hell?My mate licks his lips and smirks."I would never take a rogue into my bed. But you are my mate, so what choice do I have? Children born of fated m
For a week now, Alpha Liam has let me out of my room. Of course, the warriors around the perimeter of the property have been tasked to watch me. He gave me rules as well. One, I was not allowed to enter the central pack house where he lived with other important pack members. I was to remain in the lesser one where Omegas and slaves were housed.Two, I was absolutely forbidden to be involved with any other male. He would kill the fellow on the spot. It's not like I care....And for what reason would I involve myself with another obnoxious pack wolf?Another rule was that I was to respect all those with ranks superior to mine. He made it clear; he would not step up for me if I made any trouble. I scoff as I pluck off a grass stalk.Can't show weakness, huh...For the past week, he has become more and more touchy.He feels me up everytime he gets the chance. Every. Single. Time.It doesn't matter if I am in the open field like I am now, or if I am in a dark corridor. He doesn't care
Trigger warning: Assault Oh the moon goddess is a player, alright. She loves to play these games. I am not going to fall for this.It truly does not matter whether he's my mate or not. The hate does not change; I hate him just as much as he hates me. The jealousy I am feeling at this moment, watching him laugh and touch this princess wolf is all fake.It's a ruse. Without the mate bond, I would feel nothing but utter disgust for a pack wolf like himself.He means nothing.With this realization, I turn around to leave. The sun is already begun to sink and the weather feels right for a swim.Yeah. A swim will be nice...I can wash away the envy sticking to my skin and cleanse my mind of Liam. I decide then to leave for the river within pack grounds.The Silver Moon pack is extremely large, spanning over two different rivers and many acres of land. The river I am heading to now, is the less popular one.Rogues are rumored to sneak around the area. I guess it's befitting then that I go
The growl is so loud that even the trees around shake at the sound.My eyes are hazy from tears but I catch the sight of a great dark figure running towards us."Is that..." "It's Alpha Liam! Fuck!""What do we do now? He sounds angry.""I don't think he'd do anything drastic. Just a firm warning. After all, she's still a whore and it's not like we touched her."I wipe my eyes and sit up. My clothes are a mess and a few bruises mark my skin. I feel so horribly ashamed. The words float in my head, taunting.Sex slave.I want to strip off my very own skin; hating the residual feeling of their coarse hands.The great figure is getting closer. It's a ten foot tall wolf with ink black fur and green eyes. It's growling madly and drooling all over the place.The warriors all bow once he nears. The first one to talk is the rough voiced man."Alpha Liam, we apologize. We kn-"Slash! Squelch!The man doesn't get a chance to speak. Liam crushes him with his grand paw immediately he opens his mo

Me with my broken spirit and Liam with his discomfort "Gwen-""Will you let me go then? Now that Tina is pregnant?" I don't give him a chance to deceive me into staying here. Sure, Tina might not produce a fated mate heir but she was strong. An alpha's daughter.Her blood would be good enough for the pack.With that, there was nothing left for me here."What do you mean? Tina's pregnant?"Liam must be an actor. He sounds so true
We stare at each other for just a moment. It's like time has come to a standstill. This pack wolf; this man who I absolutely despised.If not for the fear of being accused wrongly, I wonder if I'd have gone searching for him.Deep down, even though I try to ignore it, I know I would have.My wolf had been scared not for my life but for his.I gulp and blink. Liam looks away and his face turns stern again. Before he can address the gathering crowd, something flies at him.He catches this person and whisks them into a small spin.It's Tina. She grabs my mate's neck and weeks into his body. "I-I...I was so scared...oh, Liam..." she whispers.I stand there awkwardly, instantly remembering my place. Liam did not protect me for any reason but the fact that I will be his heir's vessel. That's all I am and ever will be.I look away from them and my eyes immediately clash with a familiar face.The warrior that had almost caught me."Alpha Liam, you cannot just defend a rogue like this. You
My heart pounds in my chest as I push through the dense forest, my breath ragged. The sound of branches snapping underfoot is the only thing that fills my ears. I tried to focus my hearing for that familiar growl again but it was futile.I keep running making use of both my eyes and ears, if his growl was that low and able r reach my hearing he must be close by. I felt my wolf urge me to move faster, she was in pain.I stop for a moment, catching my breath. The sun cast à high shadow on the ground through the trees. And then I see it, a little cave, it was easy to miss but not when the efficiency of both of my senses were in fight or flight mode. Suddenly, I hear it. The sound of footsteps. Heavy, deliberate steps. I freeze, my heart stopping.Before I can react, strong arms grab me from behind. I struggle, but my body is slammed into the cold, unforgiving earth."Where do you think you're going, Gwen the dancer?" a voice sneers above me.I look up, Miles.The young Alpha of the Red
I can hear their footsteps behind me, heavy and determined. The wolves of this pack, fueled by their loyalty to Liam and their disdain for me, close in. But I won't let them catch me. Not when I have so little time to find him.The forest ahead offers me a chance. The trees are dense, and the shrubs thick, but I don't stop to think. My legs move faster than my thoughts, my heart pounding against my chest, desperate to keep going.I don't know where Liam is. I don't know if he's alive or if he's been taken. But I do know one thing: I can't sit around waiting for someone to come to my rescue. If Liam's in danger, I need to be the one to find him. I need to be the one to save him. My wolf was clawing at me in despair."Stop!" a voice calls from behind me. The pack members are relentless. But I won't stop. If they catch me, I'll be trapped, and I can't afford that.The trees blur past me as I sprint, my breath ragged, my mind focused on nothing but the need to escape and the need to find
Tina's claws are drawn: long as my forearms. Her dark eyes glow with anger and she's fuming visibly.Behind her, are some of her friends who I recognize as my bullies. Rachel, the girl who attacked me because Liam killed her warrior brother, is among them.I gulp and scramble to stand up.A swift slap makes me collapse to the ground again. I groan in pain.I was barely awake before but now, I am very alert. My cheek feels like it's bruising."Where is he..." she whispers harshly. The sun has just come up so I'm shrouded in warmth. I'm sweating now, unable to understand what she wants."Liam?" I ask, frowning. Before I can utter another word, Tina delivers a kick to my back. Her strength is great and I hear my bones creak in agony."Ahhh!""I'll ask again! Where is Liam?!" Her friends have surrounded me. I'm like an ant at the mercy of their boots..I bitterly chuckle. "How am I supposed to know that? You should know, princess."This pisses her off and the blonde haired wolf crouches ov
Liam makes me feel what I shouldn't feel for a man like him.He's infuriating and I couldn't hate him more. Why then is he this irresistible? Why then can I not push him away?His lips pulsate around my nipple, making the bud to grow and tense.I'm squirming, unable to move, unable to make him fuck me already.He wants me to beg, I see it in the way he slows and increases his tempo, in the way he makes a knowing eye contact.He wants me to admit that I am his.But that's the thing.I'm not...and I don't want to be.My whole life, I spent running from pack wolves. There's no way I'd submit to one. I'm doing this to save my own life- soon I'll be out of here, after the deal.I can never be Alpha Liam's.Not ever.I moan and sigh under his hot fondling, never begging him for more even though I so badly need that.The truth is- whether I beg him or not, he'd trip. I know he would.And he does.He kisses his way back to my lips, leaving my boobs shiny from his saliva and red from his sucki
As the Red Grove Alpha's son kisses my ear, I sight my mate in the crowd behind him.Liam's eyes are hard. He's supposed to be in a conversation with a group but his eyes are fixated on me.And no, it's not to make sure I'm doing my job well- there's pure envy in his eyes.For some odd reason, that turns me on.Liam's looking straight into my eyes as Miles whispers into my ear. I smile a soft, calm smile and blink at him."Let us dance," I say to Miles, grabbing his neck. He agrees and we take to the dance floor. A slow, sultry music is playing and I begin to dance.I've always been a dancer. At least when I was still free, living from rogue camp to the other.Now is the perfect time to use this skill. I begin to dance, moving my hips to the beat. I keep my eyes on Miles but every now and then, I look at Liam. He has not stopped looking at me once. I make sure to twirl as seductively as I can, piercing him with my gaze.At some point, he loosens his collars as though hot.Miles and I
I hate the dress Liam sends me. It's an emerald green with tiny gem stones all around it. It's open at the back, has barely there arm straps and two slits so high my panties might just show.I oil my hair so it shines and rub rogue color on my lips and cheeks. There's a jewelry set he sent as well.I'm just done with my look when I hear a knock at the door.It's a maid. One that stays in the omega and ordinary pack house. She looks at me in disbelief but regains herself almost immediately."The alpha has sent for you," she says and I nod my head slightly, shutting the door in her face.For the next moment, I steel my nerves and try to put on the most pleasing face I can muster. I use the mirror as a guide but settle on just keeping my face straight.Nothing was funny about the evening.As expected, the entire Silver Moon grounds is full of chit chat. The rival pack must be very important for everyone to be at such an edge today.As I leave the omega house, eyes follow me as though I
