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
CHAPTER 152 Eva's POV. Epilogue. Years had passed and I had lost track of time, though not out of pain and sorrow but happiness and joy. I recalled when I was tortured and cried myself to sleep every night because I wasn't loved and didn't have my family with me. I thought back to when I found out that Liam was my mate and he rejected me. Medical check-up?"I said, "What medical check-up?!" The spoon in my hand fell to the floor clattering in the dining room as I looked at the vampire king feeling the weight of his dog's eyes on my back. That guy was really a one-of-a-kind pain, I had been staying in the vampire territory for while nw except I was no longer in a stinky cell that wasn't even fit for dogs. I had every luxury befitting a queen handed at my doorstep the moment I just hinted at it. But of course, I wasn't going to be swayed by such vanity, I knew that one day the vampire King would go bored of me evading his advances. So fortunately and unfortunately for me,
CHAPTER 151.Author's POV "Where are the rest of them?" Alpha Trent came closer and asked in excitement. "We had arrived a while ago and they stayed back in an inn. I came alone to discuss the plans with you…your parents sent their greetings. Your mom insisted on coming but Alpha Justin dissuaded her and I presume that it was for the best" He replied with a beam on his face."Thank you for coming" Alpha Trent smiled and went to hug him. They hugged tightly and Gael was allowed inside. "Luna" Gael greeted with a bow. "Beta" "Gael, I'm glad that you are here. How have you been" Eva asked with a kind smile plastered on her lips. "I'm fine, Luna" Beta Kyle got up and shook hands with him, and the three of them left for the dining room. Mr Carlos closed the door and walked towards the others. He folded his arms and a feigned expression of displeasure appeared on his face. "It seems like my house is getting packed with more people and it's high time that you all start paying for the
CHAPTER 150.Author's POV "I will not just tell you but take you there" Beta Kyle smiled warmly at her and retracted his hand from her tummy, he took his hands to her face and gently wiped her tears away."Kyle, I have nothing against your Alpha or his mate. I don't want her immortality or want to harm her for any reason…My father just gives orders and threats that can't be ignored" Rosalie mumbled in tears, she was certainly exhausted from her father. She had lived most of her life to please him, she even desired any man in her life to be like her father. She saw him as a role model and mentor but now she realized that he was the worst person ever. "I understand," Beta Kyle nodded with a smile on his lips."I'm not taking you there to double cross my friends but for you to acquire protection from your father. You are having my child and I have to be with you every step of the way" He beamed and pecked her forehead affectionately. Rosalie was astonished by his idea, she never thou
CHAPTER 149.Author's POV. "Father, this is your grandchild and you shouldn't be threatening me with the life of my baby," Rosalie said, this was the first time that she was showing emotions in front of her father. Instead of reasoning with her, Aldon was irritated by her. She was no longer the woman whom he raised to be heartless, this woman sitting in front of him wasn't her. He withdrew his hand from her stomach and slapped her hard on the face. She shrieked and fell back on the bed. He pulled her up by her arm and menaced; "I don't care about this thing in your stomach, just use it and get me her location including access to the place" Rosalie's breath shuddered. "If you can't do those two things then you can say goodbye to that worthless thing in your womb," Aldon said, heartlessly.Rosalie wasn't surprised by the coldness in their eyes as he spoke to her but she thought that learning about the baby would make him considerate. She had done so much to impress him. She had l
CHAPTER 148.Author's POV. "No way, I will not allow my pregnant wife to be bait for those maniacs, both of them are dubious and insane, they won't spare your life for anything in this world and both of us are aware of that!" Alpha Trent objected with a stern look on his face. " I understand what you mean but do you realize that they aren't hurting you all because you harmed them but because they need me? They want me and seeing me would certainly make them let their guard down" Eva insisted. She was the cause of their misfortune and it was time for her to end it. She wasn't going to permit anyone to toil with her family again. She was willing to go to the extreme to ensure that. Alpha shook his head in total disapproval; "I don't care about what is running through your mind but I won't allow you to be a bait, period!" "Do you think that I was asking for your permission? This is your sister's life we are talking about and I believe it's time for me to stop those two once and for
CHAPTER 147. Author's POV. "Those bastards have done it again!" Alpha Trent shrieked and threw the squeezed paper on the floor. It was getting irritating how they were always two steps ahead of them. He blamed himself for Serena getting into that sort of mess. He should have made sure that she didn't leave the house but he was too angry and guilty to ascertain that. Alpha Trent had realized that all this while, he had been living carelessly and doing almost nothing to protect his family. He couldn't see himself as that person who used to be calculating. It was like the constant problems had rendered him weak. He was an Alpha and he should have the smartest mind to overcome the situation. He had been allowing emotions to get the better part of him and that had to end. He's the Alpha of the Black Moon pack and he had to protect his mate and family at all cost He picked up the crumpled paper from the floor, unfolded it, and checked the back to see an address. Alpha Trent clicked
CHAPTER 146. Author's POV. "I always suspected you from the first time that Serena escaped from you; you had released her yourself but I decided not to interfere or try to investigate anything," Matilda said with a wicked smile. "Then, you said that you would find her and till that time, you hadn't. I know how calculating you were and killing her wouldn't have been hard work, therefore, I decided to confirm my suspicion" Matilda said and walked closer to them. Dylan and Serena stepped back. "You've been a traitor and always be one" "Run" Dylan whispered and they both tried running but Matilda chanted some words and they couldn't move from the floor. It was shocking, their feet seemed glued to the ground. Serena began shaking in fear but Dylan still held on to her. Serena became regretful about not listening to Dylan, he had insisted that they returned to the house but she thought that they weren't after them and, therefore, wouldn't attack them first. She had underestimated
CHAPTER 145.Author's POV. Rosalie looked at her father and swallowed hard. She wasn't scared of meeting Beta Kyle and starting a relationship with him but killing him was rather extreme. She doubted if she could do such a thing. She had tried killing him before and it was like an impossible mission. There was a strange connection that she felt with him, she couldn't hurt him again or attempt to murder him. Aldon held her chin more tightly and studied her gaze and body movements, he sensed her reluctance. "Why were you so hesitant to say 'Yes' to me?" Aldon asked with a sly smile on his lips. He had never known her to have a weakness, she had always been selfish and wouldn't think of sacrificing herself for her father so why was she reluctant to end the life of a petty werewolf?"Are you being doubtful about this because he is your bloody mate? Are you sure that you are my daughter or are you simply a resemblance?" Aldon inquired, his tone was filled with dissatisfaction. He car
CHAPTER 144.Author's POV. "You mean the same 'Carlos' who left the coven!" one of the witches exclaimed with a shocked expression on her. "Yes, the same one" Matilda replied and there came silence. She was shocked by the sudden quietness and she studied their expressions, it turned from one of shock to disbelief and a hint of fear. "Why are you all so silent? He left the coven and ceased to be one of us. You can help me bring him down, he has been an obstacle to me getting my target. He is protecting them with his magic and my powers can't challenge it " Matilda muttered with distress written all over her face. She looked at her fellow witches and then the head witch but none of them said anything. She expected the head witch to speak because she was much older and had more wisdom than the rest of them. It was her help that she mostly sought after. With their power combined Carlos would be gone and buried and Eva's location would be immediately discovered. No matter how strong
