*Arianna's POV*
"Oh save it Arianna!" Ciara spat. "You getting rejected shouldn't come as a surprise to you, after all, nobody wants an omega for a mate and not even the Alpha. The moon goddess made a mistake by pairing you with the Alpha, but thankfully, that mistake has been corrected." She laughed and then she kissed Carter again.
I knew Ciara hated me, in fact, she was my worse bully, but I didn't know she hates me this much, my own sister whom I love so much.
I've done so many things just to earn the love of my family, but no matter what I do, I just can't change the way they feel about me and it breaks my heart so much.
"I didn't call you here to hear your silly words Arianna, go wait for me in the room opposite ours." Carter said.
"No! I'm leaving, I refuse to stay here for a single second!" I turned to leave but Carter's voice stopped me.
"Go wait for me in the room opposite ours." He commanded and this time, I couldn't resist his command.
I tried so hard to fight his power off but it was useless and in the end, I did as he instructed.
When I went to the room, I was surprised to meet some girls about my age and what shocked me the most was what they were putting on, they only had on bras and panties.
"W what is this place?" I muttered to myself.
I was starting to think I might have come to the wrong room and when I tried to leave, I found out the door has been locked already.
I struggled to open it but it was of no use.
"Save your strength, you're not in the wrong room." I heard someone say and I turned to see a girl with red hair approaching me.
"Where am I? What is this place? Why are you all here?" I asked.
"You'll find out soon enough." She replied, adding to my confusion.
I was starting to have a really bad feeling about this and I couldn't bear staying here any longer. I ran back to the door and continuously banged on it with my whole strength.
Suddenly, the door was forcefully pushed open, I managed to maintain my balance so as not to fall due to the force that was used in pushing the door open.
Carter had a very furious look on his face, but I couldn't care less, all I want is to get out of this place and go home.
"Let me go Carter! What is this place? I want to go home!" I screamed at him.
"Is there a time you aren't screaming and it's Alpha to you, call me by my name once more and I'll make sure you regret it." He threatened darkly.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as a great fear suddenly gripped me.
"Please let me go, I promise I won't bother you if you do." I pleaded, but instead he scoffed.
"You wouldn't even dare to anyways. If you want to get out of this place alive, then the least you can do is follow the orders you're given obediently or you might loose your life."
"Now strip!" He ordered.
My eyes widen with shock. "What? What do you mean?" I asked fearfully.
"Can't you see how the others are? You do the same." He replied.
I shook my head negatively. "N no I can't, I won't do that, I just can't!" I refused.
Carter groaned loudly, then he rubbed his temples, he was looking so frustrated right now. "There's only one way to deal with you."
He instantly took off his belt and in a flash, he whipped me with it, the first stroke landed on my shoulder, causing me to scream in pain.
"Please, please stop, please forgive me." I cried out in pain but Carter was only just starting with me.
He continued whipping me with his belt and there was nowhere for me to run to, the only time he stopped was when he has had enough.
"This should teach you to respect orders Arianna!" He barked. "Now strip or you'll be rewarded with another beating!"
I didn't bother arguing with him this time, I slowly took of my dress, leaving me in just my bra and panties.
Carter smacked his lips as his eyes roamed around my body. "You'll do." I heard him whisper before leaving.
I instantly fell to the floor and I cried my eyes out, no one will be coming to rescue me and I have no idea what Carter is planning on doing with me.
"You should have done as you were told to in the first place. If you want to live then don't argue, we are omegas and you should know what that means and how we're treated."
"It's time to wake up and face the reality now, crying won't help you in anyway, you'll have to be strong for yourself from now on." The red haired girl from before said but I was in so much pain to even listen to the rest of the things she has to say.
I gave what the red haired girl had said and realized that what she said was nothing but the truth. I need to wake up and face the reality, a bitter truth that can't be denied.
My existence alone is now like a curse to me, but I need to be strong for myself, the question is. Can I be?
It didn't take long for Carter to return and when he did, he instructed us to line up and then he led us all to a very large hall, I have no idea what's about to take place. I was scared and helpless.
We were all put on stage in front of a large audience and after studying the environment and everything, it then dawned on me what was about to take place.
We are getting sold!!!
ARIANNA’S POVAlex walked in and the sea of people standing around parted for her. She looked gracious and I couldn’t wait to tell her that her dress captured the light of the moon like she wanted. The crowd of people parted and converged around her. It was like a maze that opened up in front and shut behind you as you walked. They were leading her to the center. To her minotaur. But this time, it was no scary monster, it was the love of her life. She finally got to the center of the crowd and stood opposite Dave. Luciano stood with them to perform the ceremony. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. His robe, fortunately for me, left a lot of his chest bare. There was a lot left to the imagination but just enough was open that I couldn’t help but stare. I stepped up when I was called. It was time for best friend duties. I handed over the stone. It was white but a little see through. It was supposed to represent the moon. Luciano took it and placed it in Dave’s hand, he then covered it
LUCIANO’S POV“And what’s wrong with that?” She asked me. Fuck! That question tugged at the beast in me that just wanted to take her, with zero regard. I took a deep slow breath to calm myself. We both needed this, but she needed it more. Her body needed to remember that there was a lot more than the pain she had endured. “Shhh” I whispered back to her.I traced kisses all over her body, slowly, and holding on to her hips. Those hips. I would let them move, in time. I made my way down her body till I got between her legs. I buried my face in there and took a deep breath. The smell of her arousal drove me nuts and I could feel my erection grow in my pants. My tongue immediately went to work. Licking and sucking at her mound. I could feel her shaking beneath me and it made me happy. I slipped one finger into her opening and heard her let out a loud moan, I slipped in the second finger and let go of her hips. She was thrusting against my fingers now, my thumb once again found her c
ARIANNA’S POV “Alex, you did it! It’s beautiful.” I told her as we stood in the clearing. “You should see it at night, with the lights lit.” She said. “Two days away now. How are you freeling?” The smile that covered her face was infectious. I didn’t realize I was smiling too. “It feels like a lucid dream. A good one.” She explained.“Well, it’s not a dream.” I told her. “There you two are. Your parents have arrived.” Dave announced as he walked into the clearing. I watched Alex subconsciously gravitate into his arms. There was no thought behind it. Her body just moved. I loved that they had found each other. In the midst of all the crazy, something beautiful came out of it. “Where are they?” Alex asked Dave.“Luciano is keeping them busy in the big house. They came with the mystic moon’s new Alpha, Dylan.” Dave explained. “That still feels weird to hear. Alpha Dylan and the mystic moon. Thank the goddess for that.” I shuddered. Alex squeezed my hand for a brief second befor
ARIANNA’S POVLuciano took my hand in his and we walked off into the field. I had no idea where we were but I wondered who owned this place. No way, It was just a wild field. Someone definitely took care of it. There were wild flowers around, two trees apart from each other. But the grass was not wild. From the beginning to the end of the field the grass was cut to the same length. It had this feel of a wild place but at the same time, I could see the intentionality behind it. I watched Luciano spread a blanket on the grass and place the basket to the side. He stretched out his hand for me. I took it and he led me to sit on the blanket. I had never seen this blanket before, so I wondered where he got it. “So, what did the Chef pack us?” I asked. “Chef didn’t pack it.” He answered a little annoyed. “I was just teasing.” I told him. “I know. And I told Estell what to pack. So it was partly me.” He said, sulking. I giggled at his face. He reminded me of a toddler who wasn’t gett
LUCIANO’S POV“Good for Dylan.” I muttered. “Good for the mystic moon. Good for us.” Dave replied. I nodded at him. “Would you mind inviting him to the ceremony? Some of the pack is going to be here anyway.” I asked.“Of course. I was only trying to keep Carter out. Dylan is good. I think he and Alex used to be friends before he left the pack.” “Sounds good. Anything from the other Alphas?” “Just the usual. Nothing about us or Arianna though…” he looked like he had something else to say but could not decide. “What is it?” “Collin was trying to stir some of the others but they shut him down.” Dave explained.“Can someone do the rest of us a favour and challenge him already? By the moon! It’s always something with him.” I said, frustrated.“He’ll be out soon. Without an external factor to distract his pack, they will start to realise what a terrible Alpha he is.” “That may be true, but I doubt it’ll be that easy. He lets them get away with a lot of truancy. This year alone, more
ARIANNA’S POV“Did you know that Ciara was changing the natural state of your forest?” I asked Luciano.We were sitting by the kitchen Island, eating a bowl of microwaved lasagna. I was eating anyway, Luciano was just keeping me company. He had a confused look on his face that told me he had no idea that Alex was planting flowers in his forest. I giggled before explaining to him. “She says its too green and needs other colors to pop.” I explained. “Of course it needs other colors.” We both laughed at the way he said that. It was so playful and almost like saying why didn’t he think of it. “How was your fitting. Can I see your dress?” He asked. “Sure. It’s up in my room.” I said. I could see the very minute flicker in his eyes. If I had blinked I would have missed it. And if I had not noticed it a few times before I would have sworn I imagined it. “What’s wrong?” I finally asked him. “What do you mean?” “Just now. When I said you could see my dress. There was this … I can’t exp
