“Why won’t you say anything?” “Because I am under an oath!” I panted heavily. “My father made me swear an oath not to reveal our tradition to anyone. If I do, he will know, and he will come for me.” “And don’t you think I will protect you, Dora?” Jasper said, holding my face in both his hands, with hurt in his eyes. “Don’t you have faith in me?” ___________________________________ Due to constant abuse from her family, Isadora Campbell lost her will to live until her mate, Jasper Reed, majestically walked in, and saved her life.

Jasper Reed, the most powerful Alpha in the land, couldn’t be any happier to find his mate after years of searching and almost giving up. He believed he could finally live happy ever after with his mate. Just when he and Dora thought it was time for a new beginning, secrets from the past begin to haunt them. What happens when Jasper quickly finds out that there is more to Dora than meets the eye? What happens when deadly secrets threaten to tear them apart?

Chapter 1: I Don't Want To Die

DORA

My heart pounded painfully as I opened the door of the basement.

I raised my nose in the air to detect any familiar scent. 

When I heard none, I limped as fast as I could to the kitchen, sending a silent prayer to the Goddess that I’d find a decent leftover.

If I don’t, I’d have to dig through the trashcan again. 

Honestly, I’d eat anything at this point - anything to give my wolf the strength she needs to stay alive. 

I have been starving for days in a dungeon cell my family threw me in and had just awoken from a severe beating that rendered me unconscious. 

At this point, If I don’t eat something, I will die.

And I don’t want to die. 

The moment I opened the fridge and found a turkey sandwich sitting there, I almost cried with relief. 

It’s been months since I’d eaten something this decent. 

Springing into action, I grabbed the meal and a bottle of water.

After a quick gulp, I unwrapped the sandwich, ready to take a bite. 

Just then I heard the slam of a door upstairs and footsteps coming to the stairs. 

Shit! What do I do?

Can I still make a run for it?

I realized I’d never make it.

Even if I hid my scent, it would be everywhere.

The steps got closer, and my heart dropped as my brother’s pinewood scent filled my nostrils.

Oh Gods no.

He wasn’t supposed to be home.

With a quick look around, I rushed to the trashcan, and with pain in my heart, I hid the food there.

I had just done that and turned away when my brother walked in.

His steps slowed as he assessed me with hard eyes.

My body instantly began to tremble.

“What are you doing here?” He asked in a commanding tone.

And my body shivered again.

“I–I,” I stuttered. “I came to see if t-there were any chores for me to do.”

His eyes narrowed. “Liar! You were here to steal food!”

‘No!” I shook my head in fear.

But he was already crossing the kitchen towards me.

Before I could say another word, he grabbed my hair, making me wince in pain.

“You fucking liar!” He growled and slammed my head on the kitchen countertop.

I heard a crack in my nose before I was flung to the floor.

“I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Wiping the blood off my nose, I scrambled back from my enraged brother.

“Please! No!” I cried in agony as he grabbed my hair again and dragged me out of the kitchen.

My aching ribs burned like fire and tears blurred my vision as I gripped his arm, sobbing and begging. “Please, Scott! Let me go! Please! I’m sorry!”

But he didn’t listen.

He never does.

He dragged me into the spacious living room, rolled me onto my belly and ripped my dress so that my back was exposed.

“Please Scott, I’m sorry!’ I cried faintly.

I was barely able to breathe through the blood clogging my nostrils.

When I heard the unbuckling of his belt, I turned around in horror, and earned a stomp on the back of my thigh.

I screamed in pain.

My sound echoing off the walls of the living room.

“Turn around again and the next one will be your spine!” He yelled.

“Please, I'm sorry!” I whimpered.

And the next thing I felt was a hot, lashing on my back.

Another scream roared out of my lungs as he whipped me over and over again.

“SCOTT!” A powerful voice boomed causing my brother to stop.

I looked up and saw the stern face of a man, glaring at my brother.

It was my father.

“Now is not the time.” He gritted out through his teeth.

“Why, Dad?” Scott queried him.

“Because we have a very important guest coming in now!”

“Guest? Who?” My brother asked.

But just as the words left his mouth, the door opened and in came a group of people.

From the way they walked in, I could tell that they were powerful just by the change in the atmosphere.

But my attention was snagged on the man at their forefront.

He was a big man with large muscled thighs and arms and yet he walked with the grace of a gazelle.

Dressed in black slacks and a dark purple shirt, I could see the tattoos peeking out of his collar, around his neck.

I raised my neck further just to see his face.

And when our eyes met, time stopped.

Or was that my heart?

The big man slowed down in his pace with his eyes on me as if he could sense something too.

There was something about the way he looked at me, that made every inch of my skin come alive with warmth.

Who was this man?

Why does he make goosebumps break out on my skin?

I had no idea.

I had stopped breathing until I inhaled.

All all I could smell was something earthy and musky with a hint of fresh rain on forest soil.

It was raw and primal, evoking an irresistible pull deep within me.

Then in a blink, it was all gone, leaving me breathless, and confused.

He looked away, but then his eyes were back on me again like he couldn’t help himself.

I stared into his eyes.

I found them as dark as the darkness that comforted me in the dungeon.

The more I stared, the more I felt seen in ways I had never experienced before.

My eyes strayed to the curve of his bow lips down to his strong jawline.

I wondered how such a man could be so heartbreakingly handsome without being a favorite of the gods.

The man stopped a few feet from me.

He shoved his hands in his pockets before sending a glare at my father. “So this is how you treat your pack, huh?”

He asked in a deep, leveled voice. “...and you dare ask for a peace treaty with me?”

Chapter 2: Let. Her. Go.
DORA The silence was palpable. I could hear hearts beat faster, see jaws tighten and backs stiffen.A random omega walked into the room, glanced at us all with big fearful eyes before rushing out.And yet no one else noticed her. My father looked between the man and my brother, who was still holding the belt over me.“Alpha Reed,” he swallowed.And all the hairs behind my neck stood up. Alpha Reed?Wasn’t he the most powerful Alpha ruling over the biggest, wealthiest pack in the country? I remembered stories about him and how he had saved people from tyrant Alphas who invaded packs and took them as slaves.Alpha Reed had faced them all at a young age.And he had been ruthless and bloodthirsty about it to the point that he earned the nickname, “The BloodHound.” The people he saved came together to form the Liberty Pack.Ever since, Alpha Reed had maintained his reputation as the most feared Alpha. A deadly shiver ran through me. “I assure you I treat my pack with l

Chapter 3: Dead for Sure
DORA ‘Remember what I said you piece of shit!’ My father mindlinked me.My heart raced. “It’s my fault. I-I made mistakes, and that’s why I am being punished.” I said with trembling lips. Alpha Reed cocked his head to his side, making a strand of his midnight hair fall into his eyes.“From the way you’re breathing, you sound like you have several broken ribs.You’ve got a broken nose and bruises all over your body. You don’t look like you’ve been punished, Dora. You look like you’ve been tortured…for a very long time. What baffles me is why your father and brother would do this to you.”His words made fresh tears rush to my eyes.I wanted to break down and sob, but I held it all in.“I wouldn’t blame them." I choked out, fighting the stream of tears falling down my face. “I deserve the punishment.” “Why?” I felt a different kind of pain at that question.It reminded me of a terrible memory I always tried to keep buried. I took a deep breath, “Because I am responsible for t

Chapter 4: Death is Mercy?
JASPERI walked out of the Campbell house into the crisp, night air, and stood under the moonlight with my security team. I closed my eyes as the breeze shook the jungle of trees in the distance, creating a sound that calmed my nerves.“Why did we leave?” I heard Lupus, my wolf, snarl in my head. “I want to be close to her.”I sighed. “Is she our mate?”Lupus paused. “Not sure. I can’t sense her wolf. I think it’s dying.”I perked up at that knowledge. “She’s dying?”“Yes. I could detect that in her scent. Jasper, I think you need to hurry and get her proper care.”I instantly mindlinked my sister, Angel, and told her what my wolf sensed.“I think he’s right.” She replied. “I’m not done checking the extent of her injuries but I can tell that there’s something seriously wrong with her wolf and if she dies, Dora will die too.”Fuck. I need to do something. “Alpha Reed.”I turned to see Alpha Campbell standing a few feet away and when my eyes landed on his son beside him, I curled my h

Chapter 5: Please, Don't Die.
JASPER“As much as I want to," I replied, "a treaty has been signed.”My wolf snarled in response but didn’t say anything else.Speaking of Dora, I noticed that she had changed into jeans and a black sweater and was looking slightly better than last time.Still, she looked like a walking pile of pitiful bones as she retrieved a small bag from a corner underneath her bed. I watched her open it, and when she poured the contents into her hand, I was surprised to see it was a pendant with a large ruby stone attached to it.I wondered. Why would Dora have something so expensive? I watched her clutch it tightly before holding it to her chest like it was a long, lost cherished item. Seeing as this was a private moment for her, I quietly left the cell and went to stand with Angel.Shortly after, Dora came out of her cell, hugging a tiny bag to herself.“That's all you got?” I asked, concerned, and she looked away before shrugging in response.“Shall we?” Angel asked, and I blinked back to

Chapter 6: Alpha Reed
DORAI held on to something that made me feel all sorts of things at the same time. These were things I used to feel when my mother was still alive and everything was good. Things like safety, warmth… love. I took a deep breath and smiled. Then I opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was Angel’s green eyes smiling at me. Why is she smiling like that? Then my heart began to race as I realized that the thing I was holding on to, was Alpha Reed’s arm. My gods. What have I done? The most fearsome Alpha in the country let me share the same space as him, and this is what I do? My brother would have killed me for less. Who knows what this Alpha will do?With a racing heart, I slowly unwrapped my arms and shifted away from the Alpha. “P-please, f-forgive me.” I stuttered, bowing my head low to show respect, while my face grew hot with shame and embarrassment.“Dora.” Alpha Reed touched my shoulder and I jerked away by instinct. His eyes widened, and I immediately worried that I had trul

Chapter 7: Liberty Pack
DORA “Uhm...I-I was twelve when my mom died, and since then, I- I uhm was made to work.” “As a slave?” Angel asked, and I nodded in response. “That’s just cruel. Forcing you to be an omega when you have a wolf is just wrong. It must have been hard for you to submit.” “It was, but I am used to it now. Thank you for saving me.” I bowed my head. “No one should have to get used to that, but you’re welcome.” Jasper replied, and I nodded once before leaning back in the seat. Telling them how I suffered and wished for death during those times made tears burn the back of my eyes, so I covered my face with my hair again so they wouldn’t see how pathetic I am. We rode in silence after that until I saw a huge road sign that said, ‘Welcome to Liberty Pack.” and the further we went, the more amazed I became. Compared to my former pack, the Liberal pack was a metropolis filled with modern houses, billboards, and skyscrapers. I never knew packs could become cities. Shortly after, I was drive

Chapter 8: Look At Me, Dora
DORA One minute, Jasper had pain in his eyes, and the next, his face was back to being unreadable, but then I was already spiralling. My vision kept flashing back and forth between the present and the past. One minute I am seeing Jasper, the next I am suddenly seeing my brother. The hospital room suddenly became my cell bathed in moonlight, and I remember my brother’s sadistic grin as he unbuckled his belt. “DORA!” I blinked back to reality and found myself trembling all over, sitting in a corner, hugging my knees to myself while Angel knelt in front of me, with tears in her eyes. “Look at me, Dora.” She softly held my face in her hands and sniffled. “You’re safe. I don’t know what they did to you, but no one, and I promise you in my honour, no one will ever hurt you again or force you to do what you don’t want to do. Okay?” I stared at her, barely able to hear my own thoughts above the sound of my heavy breathing. She nodded assuringly, prompting me to nod too. Did that me

Chapter 9: Does It Hurt?
DORA Nodding a thank you with a self-forced smile, I took the water from him and sipped it. I found my mouth muscles so stiff, so that smile must not be so obvious. He didn’t notice it, at least. I looked up, and I found him watching me. Somehow, I couldn’t take my eyes away either. There seemed to be a universe to explore in those eyes. Suddenly, I wanted to know his story, especially the ones behind the tattoos I saw. I haven’t even known this outside world much, but I wanted to know about Jasper. Wasn't that strange? I heard the door open, and my attention shifted to Angel, who just came in. When she saw me, her eyes brightened. “Nice! You’re awake!” She beamed and came to touch my forehead. “How was your sleep? Any pain?” I shook my head. “You had us scared for a moment there yesterday.” Angel said, and my eyes drifted back to Jasper, who was still watching me. “Care to tell us what that was all about?” She asked. “That’s if you want to.” I glanced at her and swallowed.

Chapter 10: Sex Slaves
JASPER I felt Dora stiffen and when we pulled apart, I could see her eyes shift in thought. “What’s wrong, Dora?” The dark-haired damsel raised her eyes to mine, and for a second, I thought her pendant glowed before she blinked and shook her head. “It’s nothing.” She said, pulling away but I held her arm, gently. “Tell me, Dora. At this point, any little thing can be a health concern.” Dora looked at me and nodded once. “I-I think it’s ridiculous.” She swallowed. “But when we hugged I felt my wolf stir.” Angel came forward, with concern and curiosity in her features. “Is this a new thing for you?” Dora nodded. Angel and I glanced at each other. “When was the last time, you felt your wolf?” I asked and I could see her eyes go round with fear. “It’s okay, you can tell us.” “It’s been eight years.” She said, looking away. “That’s an awfully long time not to feel your wolf.” Angel said. “No wonder-” Angel abruptly stopped, covering her mouth with her hand as I cut her a glar
