Amelia's p.o.v
The men stepped away from Merbal with smirks and approached me slowly.
I was about to stand up and run to the door when I was grabbed by the leg and pushed down on the ground. I winced in pain as one of the men hovered on top of me, while two of his friends grabbed each side of my hand to stop me from fighting back.
I was screaming and calling out to my mate who was standing still, looking down at me unaffected, his expression was colder than it was a few minutes ago. I couldn't believe that he really was the man I had been waiting for all my life. Something was terribly wrong with him.
What happened to male mate's hating other men looking at their females?. What happened to mates being possessive and loving. The fucking bastard in front of me was neither of those things.
"Let's toy with her a bit before diving in." The man on top of me said seriously then leaned in and kissed my neck roughly, his tongue making me nauseous.
I was disgusted by him and myself as well. If I wasn't born as an Omega or a woman, they wouldn't be doing such awful things to me.
The man shifted a bit and leaned in to kiss my lower lip.
I knew what I was about to do was a death wish, but I wasn't going to let trash like him be the first to kiss or fuck me. I angrily bite his upper lip hard.
I ignored the taste of blood that poured in my mouth and bit harder.
The man pulled back with a loud growl. I was about to look up when a hard punch across my face made me dizzy. My hearing slowly began to dim and all I could hear was my wolf's loud whimpers.
I blinked a few times to clear my vision but I was getting more dizzy. My breath was labored and my head aching so very badly. It's as if It was being ripped in two.
A large hand touched my cheek gently, immediately the pain subsided and when the beautiful tingles erupted again throughout my body, I knew who it was, but I couldn't understand why he was touching me.
I slowly leaned into the warmth of the hand as I closed my eyes.
I didn't care anymore what he would do to me.
I had no strength to fight any man off and my mate was a heartless bastard who didn't give a shit.
As my breath slowly stabilized I could hear loud whimpers and cries.
Whoever it was. They sounded like they were in pain.
The hand on my cheek dropped and the warmth disappeared. I forced my eyes open and looked at the figure in front of me.
My mate stood with his back towards me, his shoulders were slightly rising and falling and his hands were covered in blood.
In front of him, on the ground was the warrior's body who had hit me. He was covered in blood, and large claw marks showed on most of his naked body. His breathing was very low and he was struggling.
The two other warriors stood a bit further away looking at the alpha in horror.
One had a few claw marks on his cheek and the other was trying to stand straight but he couldn't. His leg looked injured.
"I permitted you to fuck her, but you disobeyed my words by hitting her and that does piss me off a lot. This slut is to serve my wife as a slave, she can't be having bruises and scars on her body. What I offer my woman should be perfect like she is." He spat in a loud threatening growl.
Tears filled my eyes as his words slowly sunk in.
He didn't hit the warrior nor stop him for my sake, but because I was a toy about to be given to his beloved wife.
"We are sorry alpha. Please forgive us." The warrior who couldn't stand straight said in a respectful tone.
"Get this trash from the ground and get the fuck out of my face." He ordered.
The two men quickly moved and grabbed the injured man from the ground then rushed out of the room with him.
The alpha sighed then looked at Marble who quickly faced the other side.
When he looked at me I too quickly lowered my gaze.
We both feared the man in front of us. He wasn't like any high rank we had come across.
In these past minutes, I understood a few things about him.
First, he had a very bad temper. Whatever command or demand he gave out, it was supposed to be taken seriously. No one was allowed to go against his words unless they were desperate for death.
Secondly, he cared for no one. An alpha who could hurt his own men and mate meant he only cared for himself.
He had no pity or Mercy. When injuring someone he seemed unfazed. It's like he enjoyed inflicting pain on others.
And lastly. He was a psycho. A bastard who was crazy and complicated.
I couldn't understand why he was doing this?. Deep down in my heart, I wished to have nothing to do with him, but then again, he was my mate.
He walked to the couch opposite the table and stood a meter away from it.
"You." He called loudly.
Merbal and I quickly turned to face him.
"Me?" Merbal asked huskily.
"Blow me." He demanded as moved his hands to his trousers and pulled down the zip.
My world there and then seemed to stop.
Everything that happened was like a false implantation of a horrible nightmare.
I watched in tears as Merbal moved and crawled to where he was. She moved her hands and unbuckled his belt slowly.
She pulled down the trousers and she was about to touch his boxer when I growled at her loudly getting both their attention.
My wolf and I weren't having it. If he didn't want me then he was free to reject me, but as long as he wasn't ready to reject me, I wasn't going to let him be with another woman besides me. Wife or not.
Ian's p.o.v I kept quiet, staring at the lady coldly because I could only think of two things and that was. One, I was either relatively exhausted that I was seeing things that weren't real or my hearing wasn't at its best peak "Axel, did she growl at us, and is she glaring at us right now?" I asked silently to be certain that I wasn't the only one seeing shit. He huffed then retreated into our subconscious without a word. His actions were rather old than pleasing ever since meeting the girl who claimed to be our mate. If it was any other girl doing the very same thing, he could have taken over and ripped her into pieces for her fucked up disrespect. But here he was, retreating and acting deaf. What was his fucking problem. Was he growing soft towards the slut because she looked innocent and pitiful?. Either way, I wasn't having that. I pulled up my trousers and my zip without taking my eyes off of her. She had a glare across her face that was directed towards the trash
Amelia's p.o.v I stumbled a bit and tried my best to keep up with a small group of ladies that were around me. I saw how some warriors behind us beat some she-wolves who were very tired to walk and that gave me motivation to move no matter how much pain I was in. Two of the she-wolves were brutally raped and killed for trying to escape. After seeing that, we all were afraid of attempting such a thing. The alpha looked calm as he walked ahead. On his left side was a tall man who I could tell was a beta by his aura and on his other side was a delta that had tried to have his way with me in the woods. I couldn't understand why they were all walking in their human form rather than tuning into their wolves. Either way, I was grateful that the alpha had not given such an order because I couldn't shift into my wolf. Yes, I could hear her clearly and feel her emotions through me, but I couldn't shift. It was one of the reasons I was abused and mistreated. A few times th
Amelia's p.o.v I couldn't stop crying as we walked past the border of the pack. The two ladies were left dead and used like they were breeding machines and no one seemed to care. The bastards even hit them just to exercise their dominance and power. I had no idea what lay ahead of us but I could guess that it was hell. A few cheers came from the warriors when a huge mansion came into view and soon after a few houses too. "Home sweet home." The Beta Said then rushed ahead of everyone. "The beta sure has balls. He can't even put his cock in check when it comes to our Luna. I will pay you $10,000 if I'm wrong, but my guess is that he's rushing to fuck her." The Delta who was behind the alpha whispered, shocking me. I looked at the Alpha expecting him to turn and rip him to pieces for saying that. But when he continued walking without a care I was stunned. How could he be calm and not even care?. Was it because she wasn't his mate?. Or was it because he had heard no
Amelia's p.o.v "I don't like her." The Luna said lazily while she sat upright and faced me coldly. I slowly lowered my eyes to the ground and clenched my hands in fists. I was furious with her, so damn much, and the only thing I could think about was grabbing her hair and dragging her out of the damn room and to the freakin stairs. "You and I share the same feelings, Luna. I actually don't fucking get why the alpha would gift such a slut to you. If he wanted to hand you a trophy, the slaughtered alpha's daughter would have been....." "Blade, know your place." The beta said loudly. "Neo..." "Ian would kill you without hesitation upon hearing your stupid words. Everything he has ever done for you and our pack has always been wise and the best decision no one could ever come up with. Choosing this she-wolf as a slave for the Luna isn't a bad idea and deep down we all know that Ian has his reason which we should never question." The Beta said with emphasis
Amelia's p.o.v "Ouch," I murmured under my breath while I walked to a huge mansion ahead. A few women were outside chatting and laughing. By their clothes and how they looked, I understood they were split into four groups. The first group which was near the entrance were dressed in high-quality clothes. I remember hearing Merbal obsessing over the same clothing line. She went on ranting about how expensive the clothes and products were. The ladies all had their hair and make-up done. They looked very healthy too and cheerful. Right on their left was another group of ladies. Unlike those, they looked horrible. Their clothes were dirty and torn, they had raccoon eyes, and bruises were fixed on their bodies. They were all quiet and kept looking from side to side, it's like they were in fear of something. A few meters away from them was another group. The ladies in that group wore simple clothes. One was reading a book, while another was moving back and forth with headsets plu
Amelia's p.o.v I sighed in relief once the warriors were completely out of my sight. My heart was rapidly beating and the pain was still there that it was making me sick to my stomach. I looked at the lady beside me and forced a smile on my face. It was horrible to be noticed by any man who wasn't my mate, but then again, how was I to hide from all of them without being noticed?. My mate didn't want anything to do with me and he made that clear a lot of times. The only time he gave me his full attention was when I was attacked and that's only because I was his wife's personal slave. "Thank you." The lady whispered, confusing me. Why was she saying that to me when I was the one who was supposed to say that? If not for her, I couldn't have sat down or known that the warriors were behind me, who knew what they could have done to me?. "For what?" I asked in a low tone. "For helping me out back then. Remember, I was about to go back when the beta granted us freedom?" She ask
Amelia's p.o.v Not only were we taken by force from our pack, all that we knew and grew up cherishing was destroyed, despite having no one to love and to protect me, she probably did, and seeing them being killed and slaughtered was a horrible feeling. What's even worse was that we were supposed to please the same pack that killed our pack members. "I don't know when my owner will be back." She said in a cracked voice. "Owner?" I asked to try and understand what she was talking about. "Yes, my owner." She answered then pulled out her hands from mine. "When we reached the pack, you were taken away while we were ordered to stand there. A warrior went ahead to call the other males that had remained behind." She said then swallowed hard and put her hand together on her lap. "Then the warriors came running happily towards us..." She trailed off as her voice broke and tears continued to fall. "You don't have to tell me anything. So don't." I whispered sadly as tears filled my
Amelia's p.o.v "You have a mate!" She asked on top of her voice. "No, I don't. But I know deep down my heart that he will be very handsome and sexy." I blurted the words out in defense. She kept quiet and gave me a suspicious eye for a few seconds. "If you have, you can tell me. You don't have to hide it, you know." She muttered under her breath. "I told you already that I don't have one." I said nervously then bumped her shoulder to mine. "Okay, if you say so." She answered. "Look, if I was already mated would I still be a virgin?" I asked softly. She kept quiet then shrugged. "I had no idea that you were a virgin." She answered then smiled warmly. "It feels good to know I'm not the only one who lacks experience in that area." She finished. I chuckled softly then sighed. "You are not alone. I'm a virgin and I'm not mated, if I was, I could have been marked by now because we both know how possessive the males are when it comes to their fem
Kyle's POV "So, are you doing okay?" I asked Uncle August on the phone."Yes, my mate is doing much better as well," he answered simply."I'm glad," I said as I stretched myself on the couch."So, you left your pup and went to have fun?" he asked as I rolled my eyes."You are making it sound terrible, Uncle," I pointed out."Well, your pup is only six months old, and you are already out having fun with your mate," he said as I frowned."My mother was the one who encouraged us to come here. Moreover, it was a promise we made at Lui's ceremony," I answered coldly."Oh, so Amelia is looking after the pup?" he asked in a relieved tone."Of course she is. She and Dad were very happy when they knew of our plans. I kind of feel like they want to make another sibling," I answered as he laughed loudly."No way, they are just happy to be taking care of their grandpup," he said, making me smile.After the birth of my pup, they were very supportive in almost everything. My mother was very close
Kyle's POV "Aren't you going in?" Father asked as I stood outside the ward with a rapidly beating heart.I had no idea why my dad, Ian, had given my father, Axel, control, but I felt grateful. Perhaps it was because Father always knew what to say in the moment and at the right time."I feel cold feet, Father," I whispered honestly.He smirked and then moved his hand to my head, ruffling my hair gently and playfully."Son, you just have to go in; she is waiting for you," he said as I looked at him and then smiled."Always remember, we are the strongholds of our mates as they are for us. You being there for her right now will be heartwarming and ease the tension and worries she might have," he said softly."Thank you, Father," I whispered to him and then slowly grabbed the door handle and pushed it open.When Yuki came into view, I quickly went in and went to her side, embracing her with a warm smile.All the emotions I thought I couldn't feel in that moment came crashing down on me: h
Kyle's POV "Son, calm down," my dad said softly.I glared at him, then shifted my gaze to the side.How could he even ask me to calm down when my mate was struggling in the labor ward to give birth?"Dad, you don't get how I feel right now, so don't tell me to calm down," I answered seriously."You really think I don't understand? I felt that way twice when you and your sister were being born," he said, then moved his hand to my shoulder.I looked at him sadly and rubbed my forehead with my fingers."Wasn't I supposed to be in there?" I asked while looking at the labor ward."Yes, but your mother is right there by her side," he answered.I had been so focused on the pack documents the past few weeks that I paid less attention to Yuki.When the news of her going into labor reached me, I panicked and dropped everything I was doing.And right now, I was feeling so guilty that I wasn't by her side when she needed me the most.I had been standing outside for what felt like forever, and eac
Mariana's POV I sat looking at Roxanne's little pup as I clenched my hands into fists.He was so innocent, yet I knew he would grow up to be the very thing I despised the most because of the blood flowing through his veins.His mother was an Alpha Queen, while his father was a very powerful hybrid. The chances of him becoming any of his father's breed were high, but his chances of becoming an Alpha King were even higher.Would killing him in secret be a bad thing?I quickly averted my eyes when the pup smiled at me.He sat playing with a sword toy, and a powerful witch stood close to the door's entrance, watching his every movement."Excuse me, Miss Alpha Queen. Why do you look at the young master like that?" she asked seriously.Damn it, was it so obvious that I was thinking badly of him?I didn't want anyone to know or find out what my exact thoughts were, at least not now. If I was going to kill the little pup, I had to do it discreetly."You must not have heard the news from Rox
August's POV "So?" I asked Kyle on the phone."I called Garren yesterday, and he said Mariana is doing okay, although she looked very afraid and conflicted when she met the other members of his territory," he answered."And the Alpha king's mate?" I asked."She decided to stay in Lui's pack because she felt free and safe there," he replied."I'm sorry, Uncle August, but why did you leave like that without a word? You missed out on a lot," he asked.I slowly turned in my seat behind my desk and looked at Tanya, who was sleeping on the bed. I could still see a light shade of red under her lashes.I had never seen her cry so much before. She refused to eat most of the time or talk to me as much as she used to.I was trying my very best to comfort her, yet it did nothing; I was running out of options."Something bad happened, and I didn't want to inform anyone. We had to leave immediately because it involved my mate, and she asked that of me," I answered and then stood up from my seat."
Lui's POV "Are you okay?" I asked Akira with concern."Yes, how could I not be after the exciting day we have had?" she answered playfully.These past few years have brought us closer than we already were. Not only did we share a mark, but we also shared an amazing, mature bond.She was more open with me, and I got to see a side of her that I never expected. She was naughty in bed and funny whenever I felt down or needed cheering up. She was also very respectful, kind, and mindful.I laughed softly and then wrapped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her into my embrace.We were standing all alone in the living room.After that talk, Dad and Mom asked Mariana to follow them so she could meet her late brother's mate, while the twins decided to get rid of the body.Uncle Alec went on to invite Alpha Ian and his family to join him in the dining hall, while we decided to remain behind for a bit and talk."I'm just very happy that everyone is safe," I said honestly."Me too," she answer
Tanya's POV "Is it usually like this?" I asked August seriously."What do you mean?" he asked back with a chuckle."You know, like some stranger coming into this territory and threatening them all," I answered as he shrugged."Well, what can I say? Our kind are so full of dominance that they tend to have fun ambushing weaker packs sometimes," he said, then looked at my father, who was quietly standing opposite us."Is everything okay with him?" he mind-linked me."I think he is a bit shaken by what happened," I answered through the mind-link and then moved closer to him."Dad, are you okay?" I asked seriously."Yeah, it's just that when I heard that heartwarming talk in the living room, I came to realize how terrible holding secrets is," he answered as I smiled."That's why I have none," I replied softly."Can I talk to you for a second, as in alone?" he asked.I frowned and then quickly shook my head."No, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of my man," I answered seri
Mariana's POVI stood still, tears running down my face and a beating heart in my hand."I'm sorry," my wolf whispered, then pulled back as I slowly looked down at my brother's dead body.I dropped the heart with a trembling hand and screamed as I fell to my knees in a panic, moving my hand to cover the hole in his chest."No, Diaz, no," I cried as I moved my other bloody hand to his face."You can't die, please, you can't die! Why, oh goddess, why?" I sobbed."Wake up and look at me! Please, look at me! I swear I will never get angry again," I cried at the top of my voice.I was very upset over his words, and for a second, I wished him dead. But how was I to know that my wolf would act upon this wish of mine, as cruel as it was?Every time I wished for something within her reach and power, she did exactly that. Then I felt so happy because she protected me, even when it was against my will!But how could she hurt our only brother like he was nothing? "Mariana," Amelia called as she
Diaz's POV"What exactly do you want to hear from me?" I asked lazily."Everything," Amelia answered strongly.I rolled my eyes and then looked at Ian coldly."There is no need to mind-link each other, so I'll be frank, Amelia," I said seriously."Please," she whispered."Your mate is a thorn in my side," I said.Twin Delta warriors were about to move when Ian raised his hand, and they stopped in their tracks."I'm glad because you will soon bleed from my fists," he answered with a smirk."Ian, I would like to give you that satisfaction, but I won't, because I am not here to seriously fight," I said honestly."And yes, most of you in this room are a nuisance, and most of you are a pest to us. But then there are those like her," I pointed at the ancient witch and then moved my hand to the female dragon."Who we consider useful and very powerful," I said, then sat down."I can see you hate me," I pointed out the obvious."You think? They want you dead," Amelia answered."Fair enough, bu
