“Gwen’s POV”
As Derek's words echoed in my ears, I could feel a sharp pain shot through my chest, as if my heart had been clenched in a vise. It was accompanied by a sickening sensation in my stomach. Our mate bond had been broken. I could hear my wolf whimper in pain.
Standing there in pain, I could feel the weight of his gaze bearing down on me, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and contempt.
"You should be grateful, Gwen," he continued speaking, his voice dripping with malice. "Most girls would kill for the opportunity to be this close to me."
I shrank back against the wall, my hands trembling with fear as Derek continued to advance towards me. His words sent a chill down my spine, filling me with a sense of dread, unlike anything I'd ever experienced before.
"You disgust me. I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget," he growled, his voice low and dangerous.
Panic surged through me as Derek called for his guards, the sound of their heavy footsteps echoing in the small room. I pleaded with him to let me go, my words falling on deaf ears as he insisted on showing me who held the power in our pack.
But before the guards could enter, a sudden interruption broke through the tense atmosphere. A tall figure, his face etched with annoyance, stood framed in the doorway. His sharp eyes scanned the scene, taking in Derek, me, and the confined space. He let out a sigh, more irritated than surprised.
"Would you two keep it down?" he growled, his voice stern and laced with authority. "There's an important meeting going on next door, and all I can hear is your commotion."
Derek's face twisted in anger. "How dare you barge in here like you own the place?"
The man ignored his outburst, his gaze settling on me for a fleeting moment before turning back to face Derek.
"Look," the man continued, his voice low and dangerous. "Either you tone it down or take your little project elsewhere. I don't care what you're doing, but do it quietly."
Derek puffed out his chest, "Who the hell do you think you are to address me like that? Do you even know who you are speaking to?"
"I don't care who you are. Quiet down or you'll find out exactly who I am." There was a hidden threat in his words, a power that made even Derek flinch.
For a moment, a tense silence filled the air. Then, with a muttered curse, the man turned and left the room, leaving me alone with Derek and his growing anger.
Derek slammed the door shut, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the confined space. He glared at me, his face twisted with rage. "Guards!" he called again, his voice laced with frustration. This time, two burly men with no expressions lumbered into the room.
"Take her to my house" he commanded, gesturing towards me.
His friends, who were now standing at the entrance of the dressing room erupted in cheers, their drunken laughter echoing off the walls. The guards, not moved by pleas, grabbed my arms, their grip firm and unforgiving.
My struggles were futile. I kicked, I screamed, but against their combined strength, I was nothing. They dragged me out of the club, the flashing lights and booming music fading into the background as they shoved me into a waiting car.
***
Some minutes later, I found myself tied to Derek's bed, my heart pounding in my chest as he loomed over me with a predatory glint in his eyes. I pleaded with him through tears, begging him because I already knew what he wanted to do to me.
"I'm a virgin," I spoke, my voice barely a whisper. "Please, Derek, don't do this."
But he didn't listen. With a cruel smile, he made out with me, his touch rough and possessive as he took what he wanted without a second thought.
As he finally finished and fell asleep beside me, I lay there in shock, my body trembling with fear and disgust. This wasn't how I'd imagined my first time with my mate, the one person I'd dreamed of being with for so long.
The next morning, Derek awoke to find me still tied to his bed. Confusion flashed across his face as he asked who I was and why I was in his room, but I stayed silent, his question sounded funny to me.
Then, as the events of the previous night flooded back to him, his expression hardened.
"You won't tell anyone about this," he warned, his voice low and dangerous. "Do you understand? If you do, I'll make you disappear."
My heart sank at his words, the reality of my situation sinking in. I was nothing to him. How dare he treat me like shit and still have the guts to threaten me.
"You were so sweet last night" He continued speaking, while looking at me with lust in his eyes. "I want you to come to me anytime I need you. You will just be my plaything, so don't have your hopes up. You are my mate anyway, so you belong to me"
I shook my head, my tears blurring my vision as I struggled to comprehend the nightmare unfolding before me. "You already rejected me last night, Derek" I choked out, the words bitter on my tongue. "You made it clear that you didn't want me as your mate."
Derek's expression darkened, his grip tightening on my arm. "It does not matter to me whether the bond is broken or not," he spat, his tone laced with anger. "You'll come to me anytime I need you. If you defy me, I'll make your pathetic life more miserable in the pack than it already is"
Fresh tears welled in my eyes, his words were like a dagger to my heart. I wanted to scream, to lash out at him for what he'd done to me, but fear held me captive, paralyzing me with its icy grip.
With a cruel smile, Derek untied me and forced me to drink something to prevent pregnancy, his touch rough and uncaring as he pushed me towards the door.
"Get out of my house whore"
“Gwen’s POV”The bitter taste of all the things that happened since last night still lingered in my mouth as I made my way to the Pack hall. Each step felt heavier than the last, burdened not just by the weight of my own sorrow, but by the shame forced upon me by what Derek called me.“Whore”. I replayed the events of the previous night in my mind, each memory a painful reminder of how quickly love could turn to scorn. I tried to push back the tears threatening to spill from my eyes, not wanting my fellow pack members to see and start asking me questions.I prayed silently to the Moon Goddess, begging for a second chance at finding a mate who would truly love me, who would see me for who I was, and not treat me like Derek had.Entering my room, I wasted no time in taking a shower, the water soothing against my skin as I tried to wash away the shame and humiliation that clung to me like a second skin. With a heavy sigh, I proceeded to resume my cleaning duties.By late afternoon, exhau
*Gwen’s POV*Fear surged through me as the guards dragged me into the back of the van. The floor, made of cold metal, sent shivers through my body as I curled up in the corner.My hands were tightly tied with silver restraints. The van started moving, and I knew we were headed toward the outskirts of our territory, where the pack dungeon was located among the trees.With every bump and twist along the rough road, my heart raced faster. Each jolt seemed to taunt me with the grim reality of my situation.I stole a glance out of the tiny window, observing the trees whizzing past in a blur. My mind spun with thoughts of escaping, but the guards remained watchful, their eyes keen and alert.Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, fate intervened. Suddenly, there was a sharp jolt, followed by a hissing sound as air escaped. The van came to a stop. We had a flat tire.The guards cursed as they got out of the van to inspect the damage. They opened the back of the van where I was and took
Gwen's POVI was ushered into a dimly lit room which cast a long shadow on the wooden walls. I was so tired and was barely keeping my eyes open but with the gentle pressure of Alpha's Blake's hand against my back, I could move forward at a steady pace.His touch was careful yet firm as if he was afraid I would shatter, I was on the brink of doing that because of the pain I was going through.“You don't have to worry about anything, Gwen, you are in safe hands!” He said to me as he helped me to the bed where I sat down with his help. The pain was becoming unbearable and I think he noticed because he immediately called one of the guards at the door.“Call me Nora, tell her I need her service and it's very urgent!” He commanded as his voice echoed through the room, leaving no room for disobedience as his tone implied.Minutes after, three omegas rushed in with a beautiful lady behind them, they came in with a variety of herbs, bandages, ointment, a black liquid in a transparent bottle, a
Gwen's POV“Thank you Alpha Blake for even listening to me! Thanks! At a more strategic time, you can deal with them!” I said to him calmly. It was nice to have someone who would actually listen to you.He turned to face me as he took a step closer which sent a shiver down my spine. I looked into his eyes and I saw a look which was intense and raw. I recognize it to be lust or desire but there was something else to it that I couldn't place a finger at, something more controlled and restrained. I could see him fighting it so much but I don't know what it was.“You should rest up, you need to be relaxed but be well assured that no form of harm is coming to you here. You are safe now,” He said instead with a hoarse voice as he led me back to the bed.“Thank you so much, Alpha Blake!” I exclaimed as I felt a sense of gratitude then exhaustion washed over me.He walked to the door but paused as he got there, and turned with a smile. “If you need anything, just anything even if it sounds ri
Gwen's POVIt's been three days or more. As I laid in my bed, my body was slowly beginning to heal under the expert care of the beautiful lady who I learnt her name is Nora. I noticed a particular herb she used on my injuries and when I asked her what they were, she called them the lunar bloom flower. It has delicate petals and a soft ethereal glow to it.And I am sure it is as a result of that flower which Nora said it enhances healing, I don't feel any sting, pain or discomfort from my injuries as it seems the flower had worked its gentle magic on me. My injuries at this moment were almost dried up and I could also feel its soothing presence even hours after being applied. It was a balm for not only my body but my weary soul.I slowly drifted off to sleep as the room around me slowly blurred and faded away from my vision. I assume this was also a result of the flower because sleeping has become easier than before. I noticed that my sleep these days was being haunted by strange and v
Gwen's POVI watched as days turned into weeks and I found myself becoming more comfortable in my new pack than I had ever been! However, there was a little hesitation from me when I noticed how nice and caring the whole pack members were unlike in the Stormfur pack where they were hostile and so condescending.Alpha Blake had urged me to always come out of my room and explore my new surroundings and with his help, I had met new people, enjoyed myself, and felt comfortable and relaxed.I was happier than before, though I still had my strange dreams which I haven't told anyone, not even Alpha Blake but I hope one day I will be completely honest and courageous enough to drop all the burden I was bearing.All the members of the pack, even though at higher levels all related well and they were unlike anyone I had ever met. Alpha Blake and his pack members were kind and genuinely caring towards me which stood in stark contrast to the cruelty I had to experience with Derek and in Stormfur p
Blake's POVI was captivated by her presence and couldn't help but stare at her. She was mesmerizing and breathtaking since the first day I set my eyes on her. I can't deny that there isn't something that drew me to her, something special apart from our special bond mate. There just had to be an invisible force that compels me to her and also makes me want to learn new things about her.She was very different and unique in a way that stirred something up in me, deep within.She might be an omega but she was just too beautiful to be just an omega and I was curious to know her more. Her type won't have warranted a second glance from me but like I said she had become the center of my world.As much as I was interested in finding other things about her, I had to task my beta, Felix, to help me with some findings about her. Who was she? Who are her parents? Where they are and likes and if she was actually telling the truth about her past to me. But I don't think anyone with reasonable sense
Gwen's POVIt had been an amazing day with Blake as I collapsed into my bed. As tired as I was, my mind couldn't help replaying all the beautiful moments spent with him. His promise and obvious care for me. I was grateful for this lot, never ever have I thought someone would care for me deeply but here I was. Then I remembered the moment Blake said he wanted to tell me something.And for a short hopeful moment, I thought he was going to confess his feelings for me but I think I got over myself with that as he brushed it off as nothing. I shouldn't have gotten over myself, he cared for me platonically even though it wasn't as romantically as I thought. I am okay with that, at least he cared for me which was better than my treatment in Stormfur Pack over the years.Though this harsh reality bit and gnawed at me, I allowed my resolve to be hardened. I needed to clean up and the thought of getting up to do that felt like work. I was becoming lazy!Just then there was a knock on my door wh
