Maryn was walking slowly towards where she did know, to meet with her next target. Since it was all pre-planned, she could play with them a little.
An innocent girl who never did anything bad in her life. Maryn had no idea why she got kidnapped and what actually was gonna happen, Alpha-Mate was not what she could understand anyway.
"Ohh, Maryn. I have found out the main gate." Suddenly she saw the girl who was the other backstabber. Lily was not enough, they had to set more girls to make it look real. How hypocrite!
Maryn smiled at her and asserted, "About the pain that I will go through...."
"Huh?"
"Do you know how much it will be hurting me?" Looking at her coldly Maryn asked her.
The girl started feeling kinda scared. She heard that Maryn was just a human but now, as she saw her she couldn't tell if a human could look like that... Maryn was somewhat looking very scary, her eyes were looking so burning-like as if she was very angry.
Taking a step back the girl smiled fearfully, "I..."
"Are you really a human?" Maryn started walking towards her while keeping her eyes fixed on her. There was a coldness surrounding her, her eyes color was somehow changing slowly.
"What are you... Don't come closer to me... Stop..." The girl felt like words getting stuck between her throat but Maryn was still walking towards her.
"You know I hate liars. Why did you lie?"
"Don't.... Don't hurt me, please...." The girl begged before Maryn.
Maryn stopped as she begged before her. But her hands were clenched in rage. "I was kidnapped, I was lied to, I am being used, he wants to use me and hurt me just for his selfishness. Do you think I am not hurt?" Her eyes started glowing and around her, the temperature started decreasing. The coldness was making the girl shiver but it didn't seem to affect Maryn at all.
"What are you... You cannot be a weak human... Who... Who are you?" She asked her in a shaky tone.
"Do you think you can know it in this lifetime?" Suddenly Maryn gazed at her coldly and all the windows in the passing rooms started opening and closing themselves at a high speed.
The girl got frightened seeing that and she stepped back while mumbling, "Monster... Are you a monster.... "
Monster... In all her life, she heard people calling her by that name many times. It could be said that she was called a monster more than getting called by her real name.
As if she could see people laughing at her and calling her 'Monster'.
"I am not... I am not a monster..." Maryn's voice softened. Seeing her getting emotional, tears in her eyes the girl quickly got up and ran away from there.
Maryn smiled when she was hurting inside. It was not something new, she heard people calling her by the worst name all her life but even today, it affected her. Whenever someone called her that, she felt sad and the pain...
"Right, I... I am a monster. I will..." Maryn looked in front of her to see the girl but as she looked around, she understood that the girl left. She let out a soft chuckle and was ready to walk away. Since she was gone, there was no way their plan was going to be successful.
She could finally go back to her home. Maryn managed to walk out of there. She was sure that she was going to leave. After walking for ten minutes she found out a wall that could surely lead her to get out of there. Just when Maryn touched the wall she was thrown out far away. Touching her back as she looked at the wall, she saw it looked normal.
'Am I having an illusion?' Maryn tried getting up but she fell again. She tried getting up the second time and this time she heard some people laughing.
As she looked at the people who were laughing at her, she saw Adolf with two men. Strangers, she never saw them before.
"What kind of men you are? Laughing at a girl like this, seriously!" Maryn felt extremely angry seeing them laugh at her.
Adolf stopped laughing and walking towards her, he extended his hand to help her get up. But Maryn glared at him angrily, instead of taking his help.
"Right, we should not laugh. Ahh, we will help you to get... Up." Andrew extended his hand towards Maryn and she was about to hold his hand but as Adolf glared at Andrew coldly, he yanked his hand away and smiled hesitantly, "Ahh, Alpha will help you."
"Come, get up." Adolf extended his hand towards her again but Maryn didn't take his help. She tried getting up herself, acting stubborn.
Seeing that Matrix gave her a hand and helped her to get up.
"Ahh, Luna... I mean, sister-in-law. No..." Matrix was hesitating about what to call her. Since the time he got to know that Adolf had found his mate, he was more than curious to meet her.
Maryn understood it and said, "You can call me Maryn."
"Dare call her by her name?" Matrix was about to call her Maryn but Adolf's cold gaze didn't let him do that. Both Andrew and Matrix were standing still, all silent when Adolf was glaring at them.
Maryn couldn't understand though what were they doing while glaring at each other. 'Weird!'
"Where are you going again?" When she was going towards the gate Adolf stood in front of her.
"Back to my home." Maryn shot him a cold glare.
Adolf protested, "You can't."
"And what do you mean by I can't? No, why are you even telling me what can I do and what I can't?"
"I said you can't then you can't. Now go back to your room." He sounded like it was an order she must follow. But ordering her and she would obey it, Nah! Maryn let out a soft chuckle while baring her teeth.
Was he kidding?
Blowing him off as Maryn walked past him he suddenly grabbed her arms and then he took her in his arms. All shocked to see him doing that, Andrew and Matrix were glaring at him with wide-open mouths. When on the other hand, Maryn was very annoyed at him.
"Put me down!" She shouted at him.
"Keep quiet." Adolf not only didn't put her down but he kept walking in giving no importance to what she said.
Maryn knew she would not be able to fight with him so she thought of taking Andrew and Matrix's help.
Grabbing Adolf's neck she suddenly started screaming out loudly, "You two, tell him to put me down right now or I will chock him to death! I will kill him."
But her threat didn't seem to work at all. Seeing it was not affecting them, Maryn bit his arm and he put her down. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Maryn moved some inches away from Adolf.
"Alpha, are you ok?" Andrew and Matrix quickly ran to him.
Adolf couldn't believe that she was such a wild animal. This was the second time, she bit him. "I'm fine."
Maryn was not worried whether he was ok or not. She had no interest in him either. She couldn't understand why the h*** they were not letting her go and keeping her there for something called 'Rejection'. He could just reject her and she could go back home, but Nah! They were really weird.
Seeing her walking away Andrew couldn't help but ask her, "Are not you worried about Alpha at all? You just bit him, he might need you to take care of him."
"Worried? Why should I be?" She asked reluctantly.
"Because you are his mate." Matrix answered her.
"So what? Firstly, I don't even understand what Alpha, mate blah blah means. Secondly, he will reject me. When he doesn't care for me, why should I care for him? When I did nothing wrong, I'll have to suffer because of him... Anyway, this little biting is nothing if you compare the pain I'll have to go through because this damn man... Will reject me..." Maryn blurted out angrily but she was sad, her voice turned into low volume.
Andrew, Matrix could say nothing. They knew that she was saying the truth and it was not fair to her at all. But what could they do when Adolf was strict with his decision...
Seeing Adolf stay quiet and Maryn look at Adolf as if she was waiting for him to say something, Matrix contended, "Then why don't you don't accept the rejection? Moon Goddess has chosen you for him, why would you give him up for...."
Adolf glared at Matrix but he didn't stop talking. He kept going on, "Tonight, I want to say something. Sorry if I'm being too much, but I can't see you mess up with your life. You don't love Linda, you are taking care of her because you want to fulfill your promise to her parents but Adolf, you...."
"Shut up!" Adolf glared at him angrily.
Probably Maryn couldn't understand what was going on. She could see them only looking at each other but not saying anything. Thinking they had nothing to say, Maryn pronounced, "Though I am a human I have the life of a Koi. So I won't die if even I can't endure the pain. Don't worry." And with that, she turned around.
Matrix forgot that Maryn wouldn't be able to hear them. She was a human after all.
"Alpha, think well about what will you do tomorrow. You have this chance, your mate is right in front of your eyes. Whether to let her go or keep her, you think of it." With that Matrix left from there so did Andrew. Only Adolf was standing still at the same place.
Even until two days ago, he was sure that he was going to choose Linda as his mate, he was ready to fight for her. But after he met Maryn, everything started changing. Now, he was not sure of what to do. Things got messed up.
'I don't want a weak human to be my mate, NEVER!'
In deep of the forest in northern area of the city people were gathered for a celebration. Some knew what was going to happen when some did not. People were overjoyed since they were to get their mother, the queen, the Luna for their pack who was going to take care of everyone and even help their Alpha in taking care of some matters to the extent. It was truly a happy day for everyone… or that was the way it was supposed to be. Sadly, it was different… because the chosen Luna by the Moon Goddess was not the one Alpha Adolf wanted. It would be better to call the ceremony as ‘Rejection Ceremony.’Since Maryn was here, she didn't get to see much around the place but today, she could say that this place was so beautiful. Who could think in deep of the forest, there could be such a place unknown to the outside world… In a White Ivory lace applique ball gown with the 'not-so-high' heels she looked so breathtakingly gorgeous. But her emotions couldn't play along, Maryn had no joy in her f
“I, Alpha Adolf Lincoln reject you, Maryn Armstrong as my mate and the future Luna of Iron Clad Pack.” Without any guilt, Adolf declared so while looking right at her face. Everyone was quiet now, no chattering, no clapping as if they were mourning. Adolf waited for her to speak just like everybody present there. On the other hand, Maryn couldn't help but keep her eyes closed while uttering, “I… I accept the rejection.”Suddenly Maryn felt a strong force of pain surging inside her, it was so unbearable that she felt she was attacked by dangerous weapons all of a sudden. She could not understand what was going on with her, maybe it was the pain they were talking about? Maryn clenched her fists as the pain was spreading all over her body like a parasite, she could barely stand on the spot. Adolf’s eyes twitched for a second as he saw her face, he could tell that she was going to lose it soon. ‘I hate it!’ Maryn turned around intending to leave. Somewhat strange it felt, she did not
"Alpha, please do something. Please help them." In panic, some men ran towards Maryn to save the other victims. The ceremony venue had taken a drastic change, from a beautiful one it now looked more like a crematorium.Adolf restlessly looked around, never did he ever been in such a troublesome situation before. Even though he tried, his power didn't manage to save his people from her grasp. That innocent looking human girl who was lying on the floor in pain earlier now looked so dangerously beautiful. As if she held all the power of the world in her palm. As those men were nearing her, Maryn clenched her fists. The men touched their chest, struggling to breathe they ended up kneeling on the floor. With people lying here and there, things destroyed mercilessly, Adolf looked at Linda and then at the people lying on the floor and crying in pain.'I don't like her, I will never accept her but I can't see my people getting hurt anymore.'Furrowing his bows, Adolf gritted his teeth and h
"Granny, it's me." Knocking at the door, Adolf asserted so. Georgiana put down what she was doing, opening the door as she saw him a wide smile appeared on her lips, "Oh, Adolf. Good evening, come inside.""Thank you, evening to you as well." Since the day Maryn fainted, he didn't get to meet Georgiana properly so the questions in his head remained unanswered. "You might have a lot of questions piled up in your head. You can ask me anything you want." Seeing him sit still hesitantly, Georgiana voiced so and Adolf moved forward. Crossing his fingers on his front he stared at Georgiana with a serious look on his face as he questioned, "Granny, who is Maryn? It look like you know a lot about her."Georgiana remained silent for a brief moment and then she asked him, "... What other questions do you have?" "Why is she so powerful? She was supposed to be in so much pain since she accepted the rejection but how could she attack so many people in such a state and make a ruckus? And what po
"Huff!""Huff!""Yah!" Maryn with wide eyes kept looking at the direction where those voices were caming from. She was following the direction the other pack members told her about earlier but on her way, when she heard those sounds she forgot that she was on her way to leave this place. Her eyes sparkled and she ran to the direction, stopping at a closer distance from where the young pack members were practising while they were bare chested Maryn screamed inwardly, 'Waw, those men look so hot. Look at their abs... Are they practising for a war? Or... maybe a strip show?!''I have seen men working out in TV but damn! They look so hot and sexy. I can't help...' Maryn bit her lips and continued walked towards them without noticing her footsteps. "Ouch!" She was almost reaching them closer, when suddenly she hit her head against someone's hard chest. Maryn rubbed her forehead while keeping her gaze fixated at the men.'With such eye-candies in front of me, this little pain doesn't hur
"Your room?" Until now, she had no idea where she was in. Maryn was taken aback as she snuck a look around. The first thing, her eyes caught the attention of was the photos of his placed on the wall. There were a lot of other things as well, some of them could prove his achievements in sports. It took her a brief moment to understand that she was indeed in his room but remembering what he told her earlier she strode a step back. Her gaze shifted to him and she questioned in absolute disbelief, "Wait, if it's your room why would I stay here?""As the Luna of this pack, you are bound to do so." He sounded unwelcoming as he pronounced so. 'Luna? Not again! I feel that he might be some pervert that's why he suggested it. Who knows what he is thinking of?' Maryn stole a quick look at him and took another two steps away towards the rear. After hearing people calling her 'Luna' constantly she was so irritated by that word. "I beg your pardon, Mr. You have rejected me and I have accepted
"Mr...." Maryn couldn't move an inch in between his arms and she couldn't even describe what she was feeling when his breath wafted against her neck like a gentle breeze. His sudden closeness made her adrenaline run wild, she felt like closing her eyes to take in his scent. But still, she forced herself to stay conscious. "What are you doing?" Maryn looked into his eyes, she could clearly see such beautiful eyes glowing, he looked so intoxicated as if he was under some spells. "Mr. What are you..." Her face froze in shock as he held her one wrist with one hand and touched her arm firmly by his other hand. 'He doesn't seem to be in himself, or maybe some ghosts has possessed him? What should I do now?' Maryn nervously looked at him, her palms got sweaty and her heart beat faster. 'His eyes resemble burning fire. As if he is looking at his meat that he has been waiting so long to eat... This man! He is standing this close to me. I... I am supposed to push him away but I can't... An
Maryn walked around as she had no idea where to go to. Nobody helped her when they saw her getting bullied, as if they saw nothing."Oh, hey." Suddenly hearing the voice as Maryn looked up, she stopped walking. "Hey."Since the time she met Kimberly, she remembered her face and voice. In the whole pack, she found her as a good person. Kimberly walked to her and with a genuine smile on her face, she asked, "I am Kim, do you remember me?""Yes, I do." Maryn answered in a low voice."Great, I was looking for you. Finally, I found you.""Oh, why were you looking for me?" Instead of answering as Kimberly scanned her from head to toe Maryn hugged her arms and smiled half-heartedly, "You can also laugh at my dress, I know it's funny...""No, I am not. I am sorry if it looked that way. Well, I was also looking for you for this reason." Seeing her sad, Kimberly held her hand for assurance, "Ohh.""Come with me." Holding her hand, Kimberly dragged her to her room. Maryn watched how enthusia
Hngg! Adolf took a step back as Ember's furious gazes fixated on him, with her mouths open she stood on her hind legs. "Adolf, don't go in."Heaving a sigh, he peeked at Maryn who was lying on the bed and soundlessly closed the door."Granny, I don't understand it. Ember never met Maryn before, why is she so protective of her? Since Maryn fell unconscious, she didn't let anyone get close to her including me. Jordan could hardly check upon her.""I think it's because Luna saved her. Maybe after sometime, she will not be that protective. Well, it's also a good thing. Ember doesn't like to get close to anyone, she has Luna now.""How can it be good? I can't go to my Luna, Ember is acting like I'm some..." "You want to see her?"Seeing the happy smile on his grandmother's face, Adolf cleared his throat and looked away. "Of course, I do. As the Alpha, I have to make sure she is fine but Ember is not letting me in so I will blame her if my Luna is not fine. Anyway, I have something to ta
"Ember, don't be afraid." Looking at the beautiful fox on one of the top branches of the tree, Adolf assured. Maryn stared at the fox and muttered, "It indeed has a striking coat of fur that is marbled with white, black and blue. Its Amber eyes are glowing so beautifully, it has a really eye-catching appearance. It's a rare fox that looks so cute... I thought it was a husky but...""Ember, don't panic." Hearing Adolf talk so loudly, Maryn was pulled out of her imagination. She skipped a glance at the scared fox and then back to Adolf. "Mr, foxes can climb the trees right? Can't Ember come down by herself?""Ember is not an expert, she learnt climbing not long ago. Maybe she was curious so she climbed the tree but she doesn't know how to come down.""Oh." A murmur escaped her lips as she observed the fox. No matter what, Ember's eyes were so expressive as if she was asking for help but only to Maryn. The others couldn't see what Ember told Maryn through her soft yet helpless gazes.
"Linda, wait."Ignoring his calling, Linda ran across the hallway while wiping off her tears. "Linda, please." Linda took a step back as Adolf appeared before her out of nowhere. She looked down and walked to the right but was stopped by him."Linda, please let me explain.""You don't need to explain anything to me, I am just a nobody to you.""It's not like that. I know you are right at your place to misunderstand me but it's really...""Then how is it?" Linda wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand and looked away from him.Seeing her sad, Adolf held her hand carefully and said calmly, "We were talking and suddenly... Suddenly we started fighting.""What?""Yeah, we were having an argument. It's just because of it, we ended up like that... Linda, believe me. We didn't do anything at all." He assured her, patting her hand gently."But I saw you two to...""Linda, don't you have faith in me?""I... I do trust you but I can't trust her. I love you, Adolf. I love you w
* Half an hour ago *Moving her head to the right a little, Maryn stretched her arm before hugging her pillow. She rubbed her forehead against the pillow and patted it. "It's usually so soft, why does it feel so hard today?" Touching what she had been thinking as her pillow, Maryn suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing his face so close to his, Maryn looked at him with wide eyes and then her eyes shifted to her hand that was put on his chest. "Am I dreaming? There's no way we are sleeping together..." Murmuring so, Maryn rested her head on his arm but then her gaze fixated on her shoulder and she was taken aback. It was not a tight grip but a gentle one. Taking in a large gulp of air, she looked at his face. Maryn bit her lips and touching his cheeks she pinched him. "No, it's not a dream. He... He... We are really..."Suddenly she grabbed his hand and sat on the bed, she pushed his hand away. Looking at him with an annoyance, she scanned the room. "I was sleeping alone on the bed, I do
"Mom, Dad." In terror, her eyes scanned the surrounding restlessly while her legs moved backwards subconsciously. The piercing doleful crying of some women and men echoed in the distant, their crying for help sounded so heartbreaking yet staying in the room felt more terrifying to her. Suddenly fire started spreading everywhere, as if someone threw gasoline everywhere. The men and women crying for help became louder but at the same time, their cries was subsiding. As suddenly someone entered the room, the little girl quickly ran towards the cupboard to hide but it was too late."Don't... Don't kill me." The little girl cried out, looking down. "Please, don't come closer.""Maryn." Suddenly walking through the door, Adolf looked for her everywhere in the room crazily. His face was so pale, he could barely breathe. "Mar..."Standing at the door of the bedroom, he saw her. He watched her moving on the bed and mumbling something, "I want to live, please...""Maryn." Running to her, he h
Tossing a stone at the pond, Maryn called out. "Kim.""Yeah, Maryn.""Uhmm, I am curious about something... Please don't mind if I ask something I should not." Seeing the worried look on her face, Kimberly put down the bowl on the table, "Ask what is it.""Well, do you also have a wolf?" Her eyes twinkled in curiosity."Yeah, we all do.""Wow, then you guys have superpowers too?" Maryn asked, sounding so enthusiastic.Kimberly chuckled upon seeing her so curious like a kid, "Yeah, we do but it varies on our ranking. Here, the most powerful is my brother who is the Alpha of this pack.""Ohh, I see. Then?""Then, comes the beta of this pack which is Andrew. There are also Gamma, Delta, omegas, elders, pack doctors, pack warriors, pack..." Seated on the bench, Maryn heard her explain everything and one by one. "Wow, it sounds so cool. It's like a king, queen, ministers and all.""Yes, and do you know who is almost equal to the king?""The queen?" Maryn asked innocently.Kimberly smiled a
"Alpha, we... We were washing t-the clothes." The girls hesitantly answered, the fear in their faces was so vivid."Why are clothes overthrown everywhere?" "Well, it's... It's be-because..." The girls looked at each other in fear.The woman who had her gazes fixated on the ground, stood still nervously. She didn't know why she was feeling like that though but the burning sensation in her chest couldn't be just a coincidence, she knew."Mat, did you find her?" The Alpha of Dark Moon Pack asked Matrix who was standing next to him but he was so lost in his own imagination. Noticing where his eyes were at, the Alpha smiled and added in a serious tone of voice, "Everyone, go back to what you were doing.""Yes, Alpha." As the girls quickly started washing the clothes, the woman leaned down to start working when the Alpha said, "Except for you.""A-Alpha." Fearing she was about to get punished, the woman got scared. "What's your name?""It's Ha-Hailey." She answered sheepishly. Hearing h
"Maryn, wait." Kimberly quickly pulled her aside and then pushed her to the front seat. Surprised, Maryn looked at her with confusion, "What's wrong?""I have something to talk to my brother, you wait here." Not wasting another minute, Kimberly closed the door and turned around.Running to Adolf, she asked, "Brother, do you want to run away?""What do you mean?" At the time, they came to the mall Linda sat at the front and Maryn in the back seat. Adolf didn't mind it nor could he guess what was with Maryn sitting at the back.Seeing his dumbfounded face, Kimberly nodded her head in disbelief. "Arghh! You are really... See, we all know that Maryn wants to leave this place, so she has been trying everything till now.""Yeah so?""You will let her sit at the back? What if she tries anything? With you by her side, she won't be able to escape." As Kimberly explained, Adolf looked at the car. "I don't think she wi...""My brother, you are so naive. You forgot she is powerful, though she did
"Maryn, choose as many dresses as you can. Let's have my brother spend a little." Kimberly gave her a wink and started picking some dresses.As Linda kept staying close to Adolf, Kimberly dragged Maryn inside the mall. Maryn loved her like a true friend, she was the only one who always supported Maryn and treated her like a sister though they met for such a short time.Seeing Maryn stand still, Linda walked past her. She picked a dress and holding it on her front she asked Adolf sweetly, "Babe, do I look good in it?""Yes.""Let me try something else." Saying so, she spared Maryn a gaze of mockery and walked around in search of another dress. "Why are you not trying anything? Don't you like the clothes here?" Noticing how Maryn was standing still, Adolf took a look around and then picked a dress for her, "It's not that.""Then what?""I... I don't need new clothes. Can I go back..." As he suddenly pulled her hand, she was flabbergasted. Adolf handed her the dress and added, "Go and
