Chapter One

Endless torture 

I try to open my eyes but it's all blurry and my head feels heavy and am in a lot of pain. My hands and legs are being restrained by men i can't clearly see. And then there's the Alpha Marcus who i can barely see but i can hear his voice. 

I try to open my eyes again, but the pain is too much. I try one last time to call my wolf Eden but she is nowhere, whatever drugs they gave me worked perfectly. Earlier on i tried to resist getting in the car with them, so they injected with something that made me weak, made my wolf weak and less aggressive. 

Eden please help me, please. 

I try but nothing, am on my own. 

“Her mother said she is still a virgin.”

Alpha Marcus said laughing, as his friends, the men holding me laughed loudly. 

“She looks like a good sport. She has the perfect body for you.” one of them said. 

Tears crawled down my face wishing my mother was still alive to save me. 

My mother died when i was six years old, my father remarried. Everything after that changed, things got hard for me. My step mother hated me and my father also didn't like me, he said i reminded him of my mother. My father was the Alpha of the moonpack and we were in a lot of debt to the crescent pack. So in order to Repay the debts of the pack, my family sacrificed me. 

At first i thought it was better, at home things were always bad, both my step mother and my dad used to beat me senseless and lock me without food or water in the basement for days. I also acted as the family maid. My step sister Lauren was the princess of the house, she was the pretty one, with the perfect body. 

During some of the worst days of my life i used to dream of the day i turn eighteen and find my perfect mate who would take me away from this place. But as usual nothing ever came easy for me, so when the pack was in trouble ofcourse i was the perfect gift for the ruthless and most feared Alpha of the crescent pack, Alpha Marcus. 

Tears streamed down my face, as I saw the man getting closer to me by the minute. 

“Please don't do it.” i finally managed to voice my plea out loud. “I Will do anything you want from cleaning to anything else.”

They all laughed out uncontrollably, like it was funny. 

“Dont worry little girl! I will be gentle with you. I promise.” he said in his cold voice while still laughing. “Dont cry, you are going to enjoy it.”

I immediately spit in his face out of anger. He immediately punched me in the face for a second i thought i was going to pass out. Blood immediately started spurting out of my mouth as i felt the pain. 

“Didn't your mother teach you any manners you little bitch?” Marcus asked his alpha kicking in and i could sense fear all over the room. “Try that again and i will rip your little throat out.” 

He i me climbed on top of me ripping my pants off and in one swift move entered me and i screamed out in pain before i passed out.

*****

The next time i woke up, i was still restrained to the bed, my whole body was in pain from the beating i had received. Half my face was swollen, my head was still heavy. I had no idea for how long i had been out. I slowly tried to open my eyes and i could see someone cleaning me up. He was sitted on a chair besides me with a sponge in his hands as he nursed my wounds and washed me. 

I managed to fully open my eyes, the man sitted besides me is older, he looks at me with pity before he finally says. 

“Try not to move, you're still in alot if pain.” he then stood up and picked what looked like a cup from the side table and stood over my head, “Drink this, it will help with the pain. Am King the pack doctor.”

I slowly drink the dark liquid which is so bitter but i would drink literally anything to feel better. 

“What's your name young girl?” the doctor asked as soon as i was done with the drink. 

“My name is Vanessa.” i say as fresh tears start rolling down my cheeks again. 

“Vanessa, you are really hurt and i would advice you to do as Alpha Marcus says to avoid further injuries.” He said bandaging up my leg. “The last girl who refused to submit to him ended up dead within a week. You seem like a good girl, i wouldn't want you to end up like her.” with that he closed up his bag and walked out of the door closing the door behind him. 

I had heard stories about Alpha Marcus and how dangerous he was, he was feared by all the twelve packs. Anyone who defied him even alphas from different packs never lived to tell about it. And now i was at the mercy of the man who had no soul. People said he especially hated women and had no respect for them. Legend had it, it was because of his mother, she abandoned him when he was just one week old, his father raised him. 

I started thinking about my own father, the man who helped give me life but mercilessly gave me as a prize to Alpha Marcus. I had to get out of here, i know i will never survive here. I have been through abuse, violent beatings my entire life but being in this new pack, as a slave to Alpha Marcus scared the hell out of me. I tried to reach my wolf again, maybe this time it will be successful and she will help me get out of here. 

“Eden, Eden are you there, i need you please. You are all i have.”

But there was nothing, whatever drugs they had used to drug me were still very strong. 

I tried to sit up even with the restraints on both of my hands when the door opened and there he was, smiling like he had just won a trophy. 

“There she is, all clean and ready for me.” Alpha Marcus said as he walked to my bed and sat at my left side, he slowly brought his hands to my face, caressing my cheeks and my whole body froze. I recoiled at his touch. I immediately realized it was like i had a death wish on me. His eyes immediately shot up furious and his alpha growled making me shake in fear. 

He grabbed my neck with his hand looking me with a dead stare into my eyes, “You belong to me you little piece of worthless shit! Your father didn't want you that's why he gave you to me. You should feel happy you finally have a home and a purpose to serve me.” His hands tightened a little and i was now having difficulty breathing. 

“I can't breathe, please.”I finally managed to say, gasping for air. 

“I will snap your little neck like a twig if you ever do that again. Do you understand that?”

Tears were now flowing down my cheeks uncontrollably. He was right nobody wanted me, i nodded slowly as his grip got even tighter now completely choking me. 

“Didn't your mother teach you any etiquette on how to address your Alpha?” He was getting more furious by the minute. “Do you want to die Vanessa?”
