KATHERINE'S POV
“No! Give it back now!” I struggled with Laura to get back my ring, she can't take that away from me too. Her family has taken away everything from me and now, she was trying to covet my ring too. Fighting back with everything I have got, I grasped a handful of her hair and yanked it back forcefully. “I said give it back!” she groaned but didn't let go. Just then my uncle's wife, Luna Margaret, and her second daughter, Lisa scurried into my room. Without bothering to ask what happened, Luna Margaret shoved me backward and slapped me right across my cheek. My head tilted in the other direction and my cheek stung with emanating pain from the impact of her hand. “How dare you?” Luna Margaret pushed me, “How dare you lowly bloody omega dare to fight with my precious daughter?” My chest rose and fell in seething rage. No, how dare her? How dare her fucking address me as a lowly omega when her family ripped me off my title and loved ones? Two full moons ago, her mate, Beta Devon who has now become an Alpha, killed my parents in cold blood, alongside my brother, Kelvin. As if that wasn't enough, he usurped my father's title, his stupid wife became the Luna, his daughters are known as royalties, and the most outrageous of it all— was that their son, Liam was going to become the next Alpha. My head shot up to her. “Do not address me as that!” I warned. My voice cracked. Tears were filling my eyes. Luna Margaret narrowed her gaze at me. “Oh really?” She scoffed. “I can see you are becoming brave these days. Maybe it's been too long since you received a beating.” Pressing my lips together into a grim line, I clenched my fist but said nothing. Instead, I tossed a glare at her stupid ugly face. She turned to Laura and began to smoothen her disheveled hair. “Laura dear, what happened?” Laura glared at me. “I saw this ring with Kate, and I liked it. But she won't give it to me, mom.” She showed the ring to her mother and, Luna Margaret took it from her open palm. “How could a lowly omega like her, have such a precious thing?” She asked. “Call me whatever you want! But that ring is my family heirloom, you can't take that away from me!” I yelled angrily. Luna Margaret surveyed the ring in between her fingers. “Hmmm, it's emerald. Pricey and shiny too. It would make a good sale at the market.” My pupils dilated in shock. “No!” I lunged at her but the two she-devils blocked me from reaching her. “No! It's mine, it belongs to my family. You can't take that away from me!” I roared. Luna Margaret smirked devilishly, then she turned toward my direction and stopped behind her daughters. “Girls, give her the beating of her life for disrespecting your mother, while I head to the market and make a fortune with this.” She walked away and I yelled at top of my lungs. “No, no.....that's mine! You can't sell it! You can't fucking do this to me!” I tried to go after her, but Lisa and Laura shoved me backward and pounced on me at once. I tried to fight back, but I was too weak for both of them. They pushed me to the floor, kicking, hitting, and torturing me with their feet. I groaned and winced in pain, cussing about my miserable fate. Tears rolled down my cheeks as they continued to hit me. I just pressed my hands above my head to avoid sustaining a head injury. Since Luna Margaret has taken what I cherished the most in this life, I lost the urge to fight. I could not believe I failed my mom, I could not believe I failed my entire family. It has been two full moons now, and I still haven't done a thing to the person that murdered my parents in cold blood. I haven't taken back what they stole from me. All because of my weakness. Yes, I am a weak and pathetic wolf. It turned out I had powers, but they are nothing to be proud of. Sprinkles of ice emanated from my hands occasionally. But it wasn't based on my own accord, I thought maybe once I got a mate, he would save me from this hell and help me get revenge against them. Woe betide my fate again, I turned eighteen last full moon, and when young wolves around my age happily got their mates, I got nothing but pain and sadness. My mate never showed up, and neither did my powers. And without these things, there was no way I could put up with Alpha Devon and his family. If only my brother, Kelvin was alive..... “Hit her hard!” Lisa told Laura as they hit me everywhere on my body. I was beginning to taste blood at the tip of my tongue, and my whole body throbbed with pain. “She is bleeding!” Laura declared. “She is bleeding!” That was when they both stopped. Lisa leaned toward my face, and yanked my hair up, tilting my head to her face. “I hope you have learned your lesson, bitch. Next time, don't talk back to my mother. You are nothing but a worthless omega, the sooner you began to accept that, the better for you.” She sneered and released her grip on my hair. I didn't attempt to say anything back to her, instead, I kept mute and watched them leave. Laura tossed me a middle finger before closing my room door behind her. At that moment, I started coughing out blood. My whole body throbbed and it felt as though, a carriage ran over me. What kind of life is this? I thought to myself. Plenty of times, I have devised a plan to escape from here, but my friend, Alan advised me against it. However, that was before they stopped him from coming to see me. Alan said— if I planned to escape, it meant I was going to become a rogue. And any pack that captures me, would kill me without giving me a chance to explain. Nonetheless, death was the last thing I wanted. At least, not until I see these people pay for their grievous sins. Not until I see Alpha Devon being cast out like a plague and stripped of his titles. Shuffling to my feet, I winced in pain and stared at the blood that oozed out of my right knee. These days, I have become so numb to feeling too much pain, probably because it was what I felt every day. And had become a part of me. I ambled to the door, so I could go after Luna Margaret. “She can't sell off my ring, no, she can't,” I said to myself repeatedly. However, when I got to the door and pressed down the knob, it wouldn't budge. It appeared this motherfucking daughter of a bitch had locked me in. Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks, “No!” I banged on the door. “No, please...I am sorry for responding but please do not sell my ring!” My voice cracked. My heart began to thump rapidly against my chest. Oh no! What am I going to do? What am I going to do? I slipped to the floor, groaning and grunting alongside. Then I clutched my knees to my chest and wept bitterly. “Moon goddess, this is so unfair. You are so unfair. How can you be up there, letting evil people live? Letting them have their way as though it meant nothing?” I muttered under my breath. “Maybe you are just as evil as the rest of them. Perhaps, you aren't supposed to be addressed as a goddess but rather as a fucking demon.” Memories of my life before everything went down the hill, rushed to the forefront of my brain. I remembered when my father took Alpha Devon in after he went against him to get his mate from a different pack. He accepted him and his mate. Gave him the beta title, and appointed Luna Margaret as the women leader in the market. But eventually, what did they pay him with? Tears continuously rolled down my cheeks, as I scraped the ground with the tip of my fingers. I tend to injure myself a lot more, whenever I was going through a depressing state. “Kate!” I heard Lisa's stupid squeaky voice calling out to me. My bedroom door rattled on its hinges. “Oh, you're still mourning your precious ring?” she scoffed. “Anyway, my clothes are dirty and I need you to wash them now!” She growled and left. My pulse quickened. If only I had the strength to snap her like a twig, I would do so without thinking twice. Reluctantly, I shuffled to my feet, wiped off the fresh and dried blood from my knee with one of my clothes, then trudged out of my room. Arguing with them was pointless and mind-wracking. I made up my mind to simply obey as I have been doing for quite a while now until I found a solution to my pathetic situation. I packed up the dirty laundry from her room and went into the laundry room to wash them. With everything left in me, I abhorred every one of them so fucking much. From their father, Alpha Devon to their mother, to their brother, Liam. Liam was another fucking misery I don't even want to think about. He would always molest me sexually. On several occasions, he'd smack my butt or press my boobs. And despite having a mate, that doesn't stop him. Fortunately for me, he has never gotten his way to lay with me. Rather he teases me with dirty words. As soon as I was done with the laundry, I walked out of the house and hung them on the linen rope outside. Eventually, I retired to my room. Just as I was about to close my eyes and get some sleep, my room door flung open, and Liam sauntered in.KATHERINE'S POV“You are so fucking beautiful, Kate.” Liam declared, lunging himself on top of me before I could get the chance to shuffle away. With my whole body throbbing, I fought back. “Don't touch me, leave me alone, Liam. Let me go!” Fresh tears welled in my eyes. He continued to wrestle with me. “That is the problem, Kate. You are too gorgeous, far more gorgeous than my two fucking sisters and my mate, any man would want to have a taste of you.” He said shamelessly. I shook my head vigorously, still trying to block off his incessant attempts to undress me. “No, I do not belong to any man, I belong to no one. Let me go, Liam. You have a mate! Let me go!” Liam snickered. “She is not as pretty as you.” He managed to overpower me, and soon his dirty lips came down to my mouth and he forcefully stole a kiss from me. Whimpering, I pressed my hands against his hard chest and pushed him off, but he wouldn't budge. He continued to kiss me all over my face. I shoved my legs bac
They were all taken aback by his words as they hadn't expected him to choose me alongside their daughter that they had prepared for him."Are you sure about this sir? She's only an omega and wouldn't be able to do as you want sir," my uncle went in to say with a flush of hatred in his eyes for me. I didn't give a damn about him or his thoughts at that moment. All I could think of and all that ran through my mind was the Alpha king. I began to imagine how wonderful it would be to be with the alpha king instead of the prison yard that I was in. "Yes, I am sure. Why do you ask? She looks good and hardworking. She would work well as a royal slave or what do you think?" He went on to say like their opinions really counted to him. He already had his mind made up and he was going to do just that, no matter what happens. There was a moment of silence between them as my uncle thought of what to do at that moment. He was in a dilemma and nothing seemed to make any more sense to him."Yeah, i
LIAM'S POVI continued to pace around the room with a rage of anger sizzling through me. I couldn't get myself to be calm even though my friends who were seated there continuously asked me to. "Why did it have to be exactly her when there are tons of other slaves he could purchase," u yelled, slamming my hand against the wooden table in front of her with so much anger that ate deeper and deeper into me with every second that passed."Are you sure he doesn't like her and hence, the reason he wants to get her?" Kai asked as she sipped slowly from the cup of wine fastened to his hand. He jiggled the cup around while I continued to pace round the room with reckless abandon."I doubt if that's what happened.. he cannot possibly have feelings for that wrench when my beautiful and Gorgeous sister is right here and he's even taking her as his mate, so I don't think he has feelings for Katherine." I went on to say."Are you sure? Do you think he'll pay such a huge amount to have her if he d
KATHERINE'S POVI stood, watching the drama that was unfolding before my very eyes. I couldn't understand why they all decided to act as unfortunate as they were acting and then stoop so low as well. My eyes were fixed most especially on the alpha king, waiting to hear what it was he had to say but I was disappointed as my uncle immediately chided my good for nothing cousin."You had better keep your mouth shut, Laura! How dare you ask such a question?" He yelled at her and I could see the anger sitting pretty right on his face. It was horrible but beautiful to see as well. At least, he could see how dumb his daughter was. Having the guts to ask someone who just paid her bride price if he likes someone else is the height of foolishness. The alpha king's hands were clasped together with his lips pursed tightly. "She didn't do anything wrong by asking? Did she?"The question from the alpha king came as a rude shock to us all and most especially to Laura. She fixed her gaze on him,
LAURA'S POVAs I struggled with him, I could feel the thick of him resting against my ass, causing a burning sensation in me. The heat from him as well made me so uncomfortable. I tried to make my way through him but it just wanted working. "Goodness, what do I do?" You could see the tears welled up in my eyes already and it seemed like the entire world had come crashing upon me and were joining forces to make life a miserable hell for me. I was in a dilemma and with each second that flew, I became more aroused."The bastard! Let go of me!" I tried to yell but my efforts went futile as the good for nothing bastard had placed his hands over my mouth to prevent me from doing what it was I wanted to do. My strength was dwindling really fast and I knew I had not much time before I finally found myself yielding to me. I had Always scurried from him but fate just wasn't on my side at that moment. Soon, tears began to trickle down my face and I couldn't struggle anymore. He knew this and l
ALPHA JORDAN'S POVI sighed with frustration, knowing quite well what he wanted to ask of me and to be honest, I was sick and tired of having to answer that question. First it was Laura and now it is her father. The expression on my face turned sour and I didn't give a damn if they noticed it or what it is they felt about me.He was about to ask whatever question that was running through his mind when Luna tugged at his shirt and spoke to him through her eyes. From the way he stared, I could decipher that he didn't quite agree with what his wife was saying to him. Anyways, he didn't ask anything of me and I kinda liked it."I thought you were asking me something?" I went on to say with a sarcastic look lurking at the corners of my face. The confusion on his brows gave me so much joy like I had never felt since I began that walk with them."No, I'm not. You can go on with what you were doing!" He muttered in a low whispering voice and I in response turned my attention to Katherine who
LAURA'S POVThe moment I got out of the cart and saw those people paying homage to that good for nothing omega, I felt a rush of anger within me, one that I hadn't felt in a long while. I clenched my hand into a fist, one I so badly Wanted to bury in her face but I decided to exercise patient. "Let's see what she's going to do!" I said to myself and after a few seconds passed, it appeared she had no plan of doing anything or even changing the narrative. I walked up to her with renewed anger and landed a thick and destructive slap on her face, one that made her stagger. I could see the expression of shock lurking on her face but I didn't give a damn. She moved her eyes towards my husband and I could bet she was hoping he would come to her defence Like he did in my parents pack, but she was disappointed."What? Why are you staring at him?" I snapped at her, the frown still embedded into my face. "What was the slap for?" She inquired suddenly in a loud and firm voice, taking me off gu
LUNA MARGARET POV I was worried for my husband's state of mind and all efkr to Pacify him proved abortive. With my hands clasped to my back, I stood beside him while we listened to the old man that was lying right in front of us. "You were trying to say something just now!" My husband muttered, his hand shaking uncontrollably like he was a jelly. My heart shrinked out of fear as we waited to hear what it was he was about to say. "We didn't get to see those who came to burn the farm. I could only see that they were putting on a red top," he muttered and began to gasp for breath almost immediately, making all of us worry. He was the only one with evidence and information that could help us with whatever investigation we want to carry out. "No! You shouldn't do this. You're going nowhere!" Delvon said as tears trickled down his face. I stood still for a split second with my mind clouded with thought of what to do. I ran out of the house as swiftly as my feet could carry me and right
ALPHA DEVON'S POV As I laid on my bed with my head to the ceiling, I began to ponder on what had happened over time. It all just wasn't making sense but there was nothing I could do about it and then on the other hand was my son who was acting all strange and weird. I was yet to comprehend the spirit that came over him to make him think he can act in any manner he wishes to. Is that the same son I'm going to hand over the pack to? I began to have second thoughts about it. Lol, not like I had any choice at all. He was the only son I had and it wasn't possible that I would choose someone else as heir to my throne. I was still pondering on this when i heard some noise from outside. It was quite weird that there would be such great noise emanating from my family chambers. I ignored it at first, busying my head with more important thoughts but I continued to hear it and it grew so annoying and irritating that I couldn't bear it anymore. I heaved a sigh, a sigh of frustrati
ALPHA JORDAN'S POVAs I laid in bed, I couldn't get myself to be calm even though I wanted to be calm. There was nothing I did that helped calm me down. I turned towards the bedside table and filled the glass up with water, gulping it down at once. I felt a bit refreshed but still hadn't the thought out of my head.I continued to remember the kiss like it was the most prized possession to me at that moment. The way my lips curved against hers which was as soft as a petal continued to roam in my head and all efforts to get me to stop thinking about it proved abortive. I clasped my hands for a brief second as my eyes darted around. I was still struggling to get myself when I felt a hand against my back. I was startled as I hadn't expected it. I turned sharply to the amazement of Laura who had touched my back."Is anything the problem? Why do you look so shocked? Are you alright?" She inquired with concern in her voice for me. I fixed my gaze on her
KATHERINE'S POVAs I heard that weird sound, my entitled nerves stood taut as I tried to process what sound it is. The Alpha was startled as well but he wasn't as Shocked as I was. "What noise is that sir?" I asked, fiddling restlessly with my hands. I was almost at the verge of tears and had to gather all the Willpower in me to prevent me from bursting into tears. "A minute, let me go check what it is…" he volunteered, tightened his hands around me a bit before releasing it and then went off like one who was running a marathon. He had gone only a few steps when we saw someone clad in all black. I froze. "Who could this be? It's all weird for someone to be dressed this way…" I thought to myself and then shrugged my shoulder with indifference, not until my Gaze rested on the long sword in his hands. Well, I wasn't sure if it was a lady or a man but from the way the person was dressed, I could tell that it was a man."Who are you and what do you

KATHERINE'S POVI sat still in which, finding it really hard to believe what I just saw. Was I daydreaming or what exactly was going on. I looked up to the Alpha and I could see a rare kind of glint in them. "Sir!" I called out in an innocent manner, blinking continuously like I was some teddy bear."Is anything the problem?" He asked in a cool and calm voice that took me off guard. I couldn't understand how he managed to remain all calm even after kissing me. I tried to speak but the words wouldn't just come out. I took a deep sigh, rose to my feet and then ran off at once in the direction of my room. Somehow, I could sense he was staring at me as I went but all of that didn't matter. I didn't stop for even a split second until I got to my room.Turning the doorknob with so much force and energy, Nina jerked awake, panting like one who had green haunted in her dreams."What's the problem, Katherine! What's going on?" She inquired, quite wor
LISA'S POVAs I stood in front of her, I felt a strong rage of anger race through me and there just wasn't anything I could do about it. She was my mother and for the little time I had left in they house, I had to do exactly what she wanted me to do. All was going on fine until she mentioned something about me having a man. I was dumbfounded and began to wonder how she came to know about that because I was sure I made sure to keep it a secret even from my friends. I couldn't trust their secrecy but here was my mother telling me that I had a man. How did she come to know that I had a man? That's what I wasn't clear about but since she knew about it already, there was no need denying it to her. I straightened myself and then stared right at her with all the courage I could muster."Well, is it written anywhere that I cannot have a boyfriend mum? I have a boyfriend and he's really nice. At least he loves me, unlike you…'" I had intentionally hurled those wor
LUNA MARGARET'S POVMy eyes were filled with tears as I gazed right into her eyes. I couldn't understand why she was trying to deny it even though it was staring you right in the face. I clenched my hands into a fist as I rose to my feet. I was filled with anger and wanted to land her a punch across the face."Are you going to tell me the truth or you want me to get it from you by force?" I snapped at her with anger in my voice. She began to tremble, her hands shaking uncontrollably like she was some jelly."I still do not understand what you're talking about, mum? What did I do wrong? Please tell me! It's not so clear to me…" she insisted eity her eyes flickering around with imbalance."You've been seeing a man, haven't you?" I hurled the words right at her and watched her countenance change. She was shocked that I was aware of that. A sinister look did I fix on her without taking my hands off my chest."A man? Y
LUNA MARGARET'S POVI felt a little migraine the moment I left my husband's room. Placing a hand on my head, I slowly pressed it in to soothe me and leave me relieved but nothing like that happened. All I wanted was to get myself to be calm and have the peace and happiness that I really deserved. My eyes fell on Liam who was only a few paces away from me but the moment I drew nearer to him, I knew wasn't fine. He was troubled, really troubled that for over a minute, he didn't realise that I was standing there. I heaved a sigh and gently touched him on the shoulder. He turned his head to me right away with an indifferent look."Oh! It's you mum. I thought it was someone else!" He uttered without fixing even a glance at me.'"And who do you think it is that it might have been? Your father?" There was no response but I was sure of one thing and that was the change of countenance. He didn't look enthusiastic about it one bit."Mum, why are you su
ALPHA DEVON'S POV I was in a trauma and all efforts to get my mind off the problem at hand proved difficult even though I was already in a better state of mind than I was in a few Hours ago. There were only a few who would go through the kind of problem I have gone through and wouldn't go crazy.. My wife sat by my side with worry in her ears. I stole a glance at her but couldn't bring myself to say a word. I held her hands instead and then planted a kiss on it. It was all beautiful and full of life. "What of Liam and Lisa? How are they doing? Why aren't they here with you?" I muttered in a low whispering voice that she could barely hear me. She took a deep sigh and with that, I needed no one to tell me what had just happened. It was all so clear to me and it was only for her to speak the words. *Did you hear what I just said or you decided not to respond?" My voice was sharp and quite unfriendly that it would have sent anyone who didn't know me to
