VESPERA.
"I think selling her is the perfect idea.” I overheard my mother telling my father, and my brows widened, as I immediately placed my palm over my mouth to silence my gasp.
‘They want to sell me?’ I thought in disbelief.
“Exactly; it would fetch us a whole lot of money, too.” My father mentioned, agreeing to my mother’s words and I felt like a thorn had just pierced my heart.
‘Why, what did I do wrong?’ I questioned myself but got no answers.
“The Lycan twins need a breeder and since she has proven to be useless to us since her birth, this might be the only way we can get something off her.” My father added and I felt my eyes sting with tears.
Just then I felt an arm grab me and pull me out of the corner I was hiding in to eavesdrop on my parents.
I was pulled face to face with a smirking Celestia who looked at me from up to down, distaste obvious in her green orbs.
“Eavesdropping I see. Well, let’s see what mother and father would have to say about this.” She commented and grabbed me by my hair. I let out a low painful squeak, as it felt like my scalp was on fire.
Celestial barged into our parent’s room, dragging me along with brutal strength, not caring that I was wincing in pain.
Our parents stopped their discussion immediately and seeing me, pretended to be saying something else but first scolded us.
“What are you two up to again, and why are you, Celestia, dragging your big sister’s hair?” My mother questioned looking at us, her expression growing stern, as she crossed her arm across her chest.
I felt my heart racing in my chest from fear, my palms sweaty as I dreaded what I was going to be facing soon.
“I caught Vespera here, in a corner eavesdropping on you and Father’s conversation. Thought I should expose her for the rude act.” My sister replied.
My mother’s eyes darkened, while my father glared at me, rage obvious in his eyes.
“N-no, I am s…..” I tried apologizing but was suddenly raised and landed a slap that threw my face sideways and tore my lips. I could taste the warm, metallic taste of blood on my lips and gushed into tears.
“You bitch!” My mother cursed, grabbing my hair like Celestia first did and I let out a huge scream, not being able to withstand the pain.
“How dare you?” She questioned and flung me to the floor roughly. I lay there, feeling I was bruised, I couldn’t get up and just kept weeping, tears rolling down my cheeks.
I caught Celestia looking down at me with an evil grin, obviously enjoying my discomfort. It was what she took pleasure in.
“Now get off that floor and go make us lunch.” My father bawled at me, not giving a damn that I was lying on the floor, wincing in discomfort. I knew I had to get up hurriedly and leave if I didn’t want to get beaten up again.
I struggled to get up, breathing heavily with my entire body aching but I tried my best and left their room, leaving behind the perfect family. My sister and my parents.
I made my way to the kitchen, still in agony. I sniffled as I moved around, trying to get the ingredients ready. I should treat myself first, but I knew better than to delay what they asked me to do.
“How can your parents treat you like this?” My wolf, Dawn, questioned, fueled with anger but I instantly cooled her down.
“They are monsters.” she cursed but I shut her up immediately.
“Don’t you say that, they are our parents who care for us but have a strange way of showing it.” I cautioned and Dawn scoffed.
“Yeah right! I wonder when you will stop acting like a retard?” She scoffed, insulting me in the process.
I just ignored her and went about my duties.
“They treat you like a slave, an outsider but treat that other bitchy sister of yours like she is a queen. They just don’t care about you,” Dawn reminded me, but I refused to listen to her.
Her words made my heart feel like it was being ripped into two. It was the bitter truth which I didn’t just want to accept so I made myself believe my parents cared for me but didn’t just want to show it.
It had not always been like this. There were times they were nice, and yes, my parents have always favored Celestia over me ever since she was born, but I didn’t care as long as they gave me little attention.
They weren’t that nice then either, nor were they bad. We can just say everything was fair and okay till I turned 18, the age I was supposed to discover my wolf and rank.
I had high hopes of having a high rank, hoping that would finally make my parents notice me more but sadly, those were just wishes. Instead, they grew to despise me.
Yes, I got my wolf but couldn’t transform. I was an omega, not just any omega, the lowest rank of all who couldn’t even shift.
My home became hell for me, especially when Celestial got her wolf the next year and was in a far higher rank than I was.
They never stopped reminding me of how useless I was, and now they were selling me like an object, to become a baby machine for two men?
‘How did my life come to be like this?’ I pondered, feeling my eyes growing watery again, tears proceeding to roll down my cheeks.
......................
A loud knock resounded on our door that jolted me awake from my slumber. I lay still weakly, nothing sinking into my head yet until I heard Celestia scream from her room.
“Will you go get the door now, you fool!” She cursed and I immediately flew up and dashed to the door, despite still feeling sleepy and a little bit of body pains.
I opened the door and came face to face with two, huge scary guys. They were both dressed in black and looked like the devil's agent. I immediately had a bad feeling about them but proceeded to ask anyway.
“Hmmm, ho-h how m-may I he-help you?” I stuttered, finding myself shaking from fear. The two huge guys both looked at me for a while before turning to look at one another.
The side of their lips curled up.
“Must be her,” one of them, with brown hair, commented, and I arched an eyebrow at him.
“Who?” I questioned and before I knew it, I was shoved away from the door, like a pest in the way.
“Ouch,” I let out a low hiss from my body colliding with the war nearby.
“Oh, keep quiet, Vera,” My mother snapped, calling out my name in short, and I kept shut immediately, not wanting to be hit in front of unknown strangers.
“Please do come in and pardon my stupid daughter for delaying you,” my mother said, and I was surprised to see mum; I mean, my mum was actually acting politely towards people.
Inviting them in, giving them warm welcomes and even going as far as drawing chairs for them personally. I stood there, mouth agape, momentarily forgetting what I was to do next.
“Don’t just stand there like an idiot, go fetch them something to drink, “ My father yelled at me, and I immediately got to work, knowing these people must be really important for my parents to be this nice and welcoming to them.
A shiver ran down my spine, my stomach churning and I wondered why. I got some warm drinks and served the guests before turning to leave when I heard one of them ask.
“Is that her?” At first, I was confused.
‘What have I got to do with this?’ Then it occurred to me as I had flashes of my parents' conversion the day before.
“Were those the men I was getting sold to?” I questioned myself, turning around slowly to look at them, only to find them staring at me, one of them licking his lower lips and the other, giving me a wink before moving to his trouser to scratch his crotch.
‘Disgusting,’ I thought, feeling my body being covered in goosebumps at the thought of me being a breeder to these two disgusting beings.
“We have to escape now,” Dawn said in my head, and for the first time in months, I agreed with her and excused myself, pretending to take the used cups to the kitchen to clean them up.
Everywhere was suddenly suffocating and I found it hard to breathe, gasping.
I was going to escape through the kitchen door. I don’t know where I would go, but at this moment that was the last thing on my mind. I had to escape first.
I dropped the tray carefully inside the sink, so as not to alert them before gently opening the door and sneaking out, before shutting it behind me. I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I had done that.
Just then, I heard Celestia's footsteps in the kitchen.
“Vera, Vera,” She called out, and my heart skipped a beat.
VESPERA.She suddenly stopped, probably noticing the bolt from the door missing, my heart did a hefty race against my chest as Celestia suddenly yelled out.“She is gone”. I was stuck, breathing heavily and feeling sweaty.“Run now,” Dawn yelled in my head, and I dashed for the woods, using all my strength and energy to run. I didn’t care if I was going into the wild bush, nor did I care about the thorns and sticks tearing at my gown.I just had to get out of here. Each twig snapping underfoot felt like a thunderclap, urgency sparking in me.Not too long, I heard footsteps behind me and looked back to see the huge, terrifying men right behind me and almost catching up to me.I let out a gasp, and increased my pace, holding the rim of my gown in my hand to enable me to run faster. I mustn’t get caught, I couldn’t be a breeder to those men.‘No, no, no.’ I cried in my head and heard footsteps right behind me, before someone grabbed me aggressively by my arm, their sharp nails piercing
KIERAN."Mom, we are still not okay with this," My twin brother, Kalisto, informed our mother, slamming his fists against the desk in the Royal office.Kalisto and I were tendering to the Pack's matter when Mum and Cedric, our royal physician came in to inform us our breeder had been brought and was being set ready for us."You both have no choice boys. I understand your feelings but..." I didn't allow her to finish her statement before I cut in."Do you mum, do you really understand our feelings?" I questioned, looking away from the window and into her golden irises."You are forcing us" I began, pointing to my brother and me."To forcefully mate with an unknown peasant when we have a woman we love so dearly," I reminded her just in case she had forgotten, and she let out a weary sigh, moving to place one of her hands on her forehead."And I will be telling you, boys, this for the hundredth time." She began."It's not my wish nor my choice. You both have to do this and you know it. L
VESPERA."No, thank you. I would love to dine alone for tonight" I told Madame Garcia, but more like begging as I looked at her with pleas in my eyes.She nodded at me and ordered the maids to bring my food before departing. When I opened the tray, my tummy rumbled and I salivated, amused by this tasty dish in front of me.In my entire life, I have never had anything that looks this good and healthy. I dug in immediately, forgetting about my worries temporarily and just focusing on my meal.A few minutes later, I was done and the plates were cleared before I was left alone to sleep. I lay my back on the bed, drifting into thoughts.'Tomorrow was the festival. Tomorrow would probably be when I would lose my virginity, and it wasn't to a guy I loved. Tears dripped from the corner of my eyes as I closed them to sleep..........."You look so stunning" one of the maids gasped, as she helped tie my dress from behind. I looked into the mirror and somehow couldn't recognize myself.I was dre
VESPERA.The golden-haired guy bent and kissed the lady on her lips which she reciprocated while the red-haired guy pecked her on the cheeks. Both their arms were wrapped around her waist as she basked in their attention.I just stood there quietly, my lips trembling, trying to form words that couldn’t come out as a wave of jealousy ran through me.I was totally ignored for another woman. It was just like I didn’t exist. I turned away, trying to hide the tears gathering at the corner of my eyes.Madam Garcia must have noticed my behavior, for she let out a low cough, distracting everyone, and the unknown lady took the perfect moment to throw me a glance.“Who is she?” She pointed at me while looking at both the Lycan twins at almost the same time. The red-haired guy looked at me, boredom obvious in his orbs, while his twin glared at me before muttering with distaste.“No one important”. Those words shattered me and I bit my low lips, clenching my fists together. I caught her, the l
VESPERA.My heart did a triple flip. My palms grew sweaty and my throat went dry immediately. I let out a low cough and signaled to Madam Gracia I needed water.“Here, my dear,” She said as she handed me a glass of water and proceeded to help me take a sip, but then I drowned the entire content in a gulp and felt a little better.“Tell the Lycan twins she isn’t feeling well and isn’t ready for them,” Madam Garcia spoke on my behalf, and I turned to look at her, gratitude obvious in my eyes. The maid bowed and left. Afterward, Madam Garcia turned to face me. “How did you end up injured, don’t tell me you tried to commit suicide?” She scolded me, a scowl appearing on her face.“ No,” I replied, nodding sideways then the scowl dropped. “So, what happened?” She inquired, her brows rising in curiosity. I contemplated whether to tell her my younger sister tried to kill me or to keep my mouth shut and form a lie.But looking into her hazel orbs, something in me told me I could tell her, c
