Chapter 4
Liam’s POV:
“Where is she?” I bellowed at the top of my voice to my mother and sister who just looked on at me like I was spewing gibberish.
They exchanged meaningful glances with each other and then my mother began taking slow precise towards me as she spoke;
“She left. She was taken away by the Alpha of Black moon pack.” Her voice sounded squeaky, shaky even and with the way she rushed out her words, it was almost obvious that she was scared of what I could do.
“And why would he take a slave from my pack without my consent?!” I snarled, baring my teeth.
The next words mother spoke sent me staggering a few steps backwards in both anger and hurt; “we think they’re mates, they had this pull that was obvious so we let her go.”
My anger flared at the thought of Eva being in the arms of another man. She was my mate for god’s sake!
“I still don’t get why you’re this pissed, I thought you’ve always wanted her out of here!” Raquel mumbled under her breath.
Most times she was so dumb that I wanted to strangle her, and this was one of those ‘sometimes’ Her nonchalance irked me, even the way she looked up at me confusedly irritated me to no end.
To worsen the situation, the fact that Eva had been given a second chance to find a partner irritated me. What happened to me?
I only rejected her a few days ago so why the fuck is the moon goddess this fast about pairing her up?
My heart burned at the fact that it was my mother and sister that had literally pushed her into the arms of Alpha Trent simply because they couldn't live without hurting her. They derived so much pleasure from inflicting her with pain, and now see where it has landed us?!
I blamed myself too for never trying to stop them whenever they hit her in the past. I never really did because I felt I didn’t want her. I hated her status and only liked her for her body; and so I never really cared about what they did to her.
But now I did.
“I still don’t get why you’re this worked—” Raquel started but was immediately cut off by mother’s loud and sharp voice.
“We’re genuinely sorry!”
I looked between the both of them in something akin to disdain but quickly shook my head as I resumed prancing the room.
My mind was conflicted and right now, I didn’t even know how or where to begin sorting all of my problems from. I
My first challenge was Eva and the need to bring her back here. I needed to get her back in this pack regardless of how much it took me.
I couldn’t imagine her away from here, especially not in Black moon pack; that pack was too powerful to be messed around with and certainly didn’t need a force like Eva’s for they would become infilterable.
The fact that Eva was the daughter of the fearsome Alpha Ziegler surprised me even more. I had always thought she was the daughter of a commoner in Alpha Ziegler’s burnt down pack, not knowing that she had royal blood in her.
Alpha Ziegler was a very powerful man while he was alive, and it is rumored that he had passed on most of his strength to his only offspring- Eva, which was probably the reason she had this daring nature and a very powerful aura about her that I had never been able to understand.
I had always known that the girl was special from the very beginning. There had been this thing about her that captivated me right from the onset, I wasn’t sure if it was her grace or the way that she carried herself that drew me in but I knew I was hooked.
I only began to distance myself when I discovered that I normally should not have anything to do with a slave. The distance widened over the months and before I knew it, I began to despise her.
“Fool.” I mumbled to myself whilst tugging at my now untidy hair which had lost its usual sleekness due to incessant pulls. I had allowed myself to be ruled by others’ judgment; allowed my mate to slowly grow to hate me, and not I was to be blamed.
“I don’t know why you’re this worked up but I think you need to calm the fuck down!” Raquel snapped sassily. I noticed mom glaring hard at her as if in a bid to shush her but the big mouth continued talking anyways;
“It’s not like you’ve ever liked her, but now that you’ve learnt that she’s been taken away by someone else you’re acting all haywire, spitting coal and brimstone simply because of what?”
“Shut up Raquel!” Mom yelled, but she was ignored.
I wanted to smack her hard across the face, at least maybe that would make her a little less spoiled than she already was.
I took predatory steps towards her and my anger flared when she didn’t even try to back away. Initially I planned on doing nothing to her, probably just warn her or something along those lines but her show of power irked me.
In anger I grabbed at her upper arm in a very tight grip, tight enough to hurt her and smirked inwardly when I saw her face scrunch up in pain.
“I do not care about what you think, or about Eva but I am sure as hell that you do not know that she’s the daughter of Alpha Ziegler!” I spat in her face.
I could hear the muffled gasps escape their lips at the information and from the looks on their faces, it was obvious that they were just as surprised as I was when I learnt about her identity.
Alpha Ziegler’s strength was unmatched and everyone knew about it. My father who was the third ranked Alpha in the region was always jealous of him.
My father, the sleek sly, had waited for years to take him out, and in a moment of Alpha Ziegler’s weakness, we struck, killing everyone in his household and his pack entirely.
A slave had been brought back by our soldiers and according to them, she was spared because she was so beautiful, it would hurt to kill her.
Now, that slave is Eva, Alpha Ziegler’s daughter, and as rumor would have it, she was just as strong as her father, if not stronger…
Chapter 5Eva’s POVI could feel a pair of eyes on my body the whole night but surprisingly I couldn’t pry my heavy eyelids open. It felt like there was a force holding them glued together, thus the reason I couldn’t open them.I wafted through several series of deep sleep, and when my eyes finally sprung open, I was met with Alpha Trent’s deep dark eyes staring intensely at me. I gasped.“Good morning.” He said softly, with his hands outstretched as if in a bid to calm me down but I wasn’t calm. I couldn't even be calm when I had just found out that he had been watching me in my sleep and could even be the person I had felt looking at me.“Calm down,” he said, “I won’t bite you.” I visibly relaxed when he uttered those words and even relaxed more when he suddenly stood up to walk towards the room’s entrance.“You’re Ill and the doctor says that you need tons of rest and food because you’re also malnutritioned.” He said slowly, almost pitifully.I sucked in a deep breath when I heard
CHAPTER 6.Eva's POV. I was already being skeptical about my stay here. Just finding out that the sister of Alpha who helped me had the exact attitude of Raquel and it scared me. Now I don't only have to contend with his sister but also this man I couldn't identify. He was grumpy and even tried to hit me. I supposed that I should be prepared for another hurt and violence in this place. Can't my life ever be free of hate and abuse?. "Kyle, get out of my way" He said in anger, I could see his veins popping slightly in his head. Was he that upset about my words?Did I talk too much? "Uncle, calm down. She is just a child like you said, please don't be too harsh with her;Teenagers get to do some disrespectful things because of their age" Kyle said in my defense but respectfully. But I was no teenager to be abused anymore. I am an adult now and I could as well stand up for myself. "I am not a teenager, I know that I didn't say anything wrong to get you the slightest upset" I shot at
CHAPTER 7.Sofia's POV.I tried holding back my tears but they kept welling up in my eyes. My heart squeezed tightly in my chest at the thought of returning to that pack where I was treated like nothing but a common slave.It was where I was punished every day of my life. I even got abused by them at such a young age. My little pain seemed to have disappeared when Alpha Trent helped me.I thought he was different from the others.His eyes and intentions were different and for the first time in a long time, I felt cared for and important.I probably allowed his care to get into my head and make me feel that I was worth care and attention. I was extremely wrong because all he did was show me a little kindness, maybe to elevate his status.On everyone's lips, would be… Alpha Trent, the Alpha of the black moon pack helps a young and tortured female werewolf from her mystery.It was so sarcastic and pathetic but nothing but the truth. I am sure he did it for his own fame and popularity. How
CHAPTER 8Eva's POV.I sighed at my thoughts. I was being suspicious of the person who helped me when everyone turned their backs on me including my own mate. He abandoned me, I presumed that he had known that I was his mate a long time ago.But he cleverly hid it because he had no feelings at all for me. He joined hands with his mother and lover to wreck my life. He rejected me without thinking twice about the pain it would cause my wolf.Thankfully I never had any feelings for him because he had crushed me too many times and had made me hate him and his father to the extent that severing the mate bond was nothing to me.Just a little twinge and I was fine. I had no right to doubt Alpha Trent's intentions for me;He stood up to those evil people and carried a petty slave in his arms.Thinking of his arms, I felt that sensation again as I recalled his his warm skin touched mine. His skin looked smooth and felt soft unlike mine that was rough from working like my life depended on it and
CHAPTER 9Sofia's POV. I was agitated by his tone. Why was he sounding this way or what was he thinking?. I stared at his dead panned face and I got scared for a moment. Beta Kyle and I were just chatting and nothing more than that though I was touching his shoulders and arms at intervals because I was in the moment of humor but that shouldn't get anyone angry. Did he think I was flirting with his Beta? The last thing I wanted to do was to flirt with any male here, no matter how attractive they looked. Beta Kyle was a handsome man but he wasn't my type and even though he was, I wasn't ready for any kind of relationship. Even if I was flirting with his Beta that shouldn't get him this annoyed or vexed but I was still a slave to him, therefore I had to know my place. Maybe the Alpha thought that I was going to enchant and tempt his Beta and friend into a relationship to stay permanently in the pack. Well, he was certainly wrong about that. I wasn't ready for any sort of commitmen
CHAPTER 10Eva's POV. He wants to bath me. My eyes widened in complete shock and my mouth parted as a shocked gasp escaped my lips. "Why are you looking so shocked?" Alpha Trent asked me. This Alpha was so shameless, he just offered to bathe me and he was acting like it was a normal activity to offer a woman a bath. The moon goddess blessed me with beauty and I was very much grateful for it but it was causing more disadvantages than advantages. I was beautiful and attractive but it also made me a tool of abuse by male werewolves…I thought that I had escaped from this kind of life but I was wrong. I was falling into another trap which might be hard to escape. I thought he was different but his actions kept proving me wrong and naive. "How could you ask that?How dare you ask such a question as me?!" I yelled, forgetting that I was talking to the Alpha. "What?" He gazed at me in confusion. What was he shamelessly confused about?. "I thought you were different from Alpha Trent,
CHAPTER 11.Eva's POV. "Die"She gritted her teeth, her face was scrunched in anger and hate."Die"Before I could realize, Iwas running out of breath and choking. I was choking but my dress was getting wet. I recalled that she ripped the IV from my wrist. It was blood and it scared me because it was not simply dropping but it seemed like it was gushing out. Despite the pain I was feeling and how weak I was becoming maybe because of the loss of blood and the strangling but I couldn't let her kill me so silently. My hands gripped her hands tightly and I scratched her knuckles with my long nails.She winced and instantly retracted her hand and cried out, she felt the sting of the scratch. I coughed boisterously and rubbed my neck to reduce the hotness around it.I was not paying attention to her whining, I was still coughing and planning my escape from the bed but as I tried to attempt it, she grabbed my hair from behind and pulled me back on the bed.I grunted as it felt like my h
CHAPTER 12.Liam's POV. I had been thinking of so many ways to get Eva back, I wanted her back by my side. I stared at the plate of food with no appetite at all, I had been this way since I discovered the Alpha of the black moon pack had taken her into his custody. I did the most stupid things that any one in my ancestral line had never done. I was certain that my father would turn in his grave because of the mistake I had made. I cursed the moon goddess numerous times for giving me a mate like her. A slave for that matter, a girl without any class or identity at all, it was just her beauty that enchanted me but I had unknowingly lost a rare gem thinking it was a stone. I had forfeited my chance of having a Luna with incredible strength and power. Though I believed that she had not discovered her powerful abilities yet, I was sure that she was still ignorant of her powers and I needed to get to her before she would become too strong to tame. I needed her back as my Luna, despite
