THE LYCAN KING AND THE SLAVE

MIA’s POV

It's my twentieth birthday and I still hate my life.

My life sucks, and every day seems to be a constant reminder of that reality, but today makes me feel worse about my life.

I picked up the stainless bucket I was using to mop the floor and squeeze the dirty rag, at least I was done with some of the chores given to me today.

I had told Mrs. Caroline, the old cranky head of staff, weeks before today, I wanted to take today off and just sob and drink away my sorrow in an isolated bar, but I still put myself on duty today.

"We have a big party coming up and you won't be given that liberty to leave," she'd replied to my request yesterday, in a harsh tone.

"But I told you for weeks now," I pleaded as tears streamed down my eyes, I just wanted to be anywhere else but here today.

"Quit whining Mia, it is a party for the Alpha, the world doesn't revolve around you,"

Ironically, she would say that, because my world had always revolved around others, it was almost like I was just a substitute character in my own life.

I did other chores and dressed for the party, I was given the liberty to dress up for the party.

It was a mask-themed party and all the guests there would be wearing their masks. I felt better, I didn't have to see their faces to know how "Important" they were.

Walking towards the entrance of the party, I bumped into something, or rather someone, before I could reach out to apologize, I was shoved backward, my back pinned to the wall.

"Are you stupid," he yelled out in a hoarse voice and I looked up to get a glance at the six-foot male standing before me, his shoulders were unusually broad and his hair brown, he had hazel green eyes and his gaze was piercing mine and I soon discovered why when my wolf began to howl from within me.

"Mate,"

"Mate,"

"Mate,"

All my life, I had thought about the moment I would get to discover who my mate was and how I would feel at that moment, but right now, I do not feel good about it. I almost lost hope when I turned eighteen and still have not met my mate.

"How dare you, foolish wench," he yelled again with disgust in his eyes. At this point, an audience was already gathering and I lowered my gaze to the ground.

"Doesn't he know," I whispered to myself.

"I am sorry," I muttered aloud, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Alpha Leo, what is going on?" A tall man approached us, I recognized him to be the Beta of the pack, and now I knew my mate was the Alpha.

The freaking Alpha is my mate.

"This little wench right here ran into me," he replied, his eyes irritated by my presence.

"Identify yourself," the Beta yelled out to me and I became startled.

I still had my mask on but he didn't. I lifted my mask to look directly into his eyes.

I shrugged, " I am Mia Lee,"

An evil smug look formed on the Alpha's face.

"I knew they had got to be a mistake," he mumbled, running his hands through his hair. There was something about the way he glared at me that gave me the chills. I had always wanted to meet the alpha, I had a secret crush on him but today I was indifferent about my longing.

He moved closer to me and his gaze was dark. "You are a witch,"

I have been used to people calling me weak but something about this statement made me feel bad.

"You are my mate," he declared and there was a sudden outburst from the crowd that had gathered and I lowered my gaze.

"You are my mate," I repeated after him, hoping to sound enthusiastic about it, but there was something about the way he said it that made it sound vague.

He let out a chuckle, "The moon goddess Jokes with me, I am the Alpha of this creekstone pack and I can't be mated to this nobody, a weak omega" he yelled out and people started laughing, I have had humiliating days but this tops the list.

"Alpha, I know you might think I am weak but I___" I trailed off when I saw that he was already laughing at me uncontrollably alongside the crowd which imitated everything that he did.

" I am the Alpha, and I can't be mated to an Omega,"

"She is also a HUMAN, wolfless" someone with a green mask yelled out from the crowd and everyone laughed and the disgust on the Alpha's face toward me became more evident.

"A mere human thinks she is worthy to be with an Alpha," without waiting for my response he yanked me toward him and I let out a gentle cry of discomfort.

"You think you lowly and weak servant deserve to be with an Alpha?" he asked with a dreadful demeaning tone.

"I can be good to my Alpha," I responded with a whisper and he let out an uproar of laughter and all the others in the room chorused.

"Are you offering to be my sex slave, so I can fuck you till you are worthy enough to be my Luna?"

I almost rolled my eyes, "That wasn't what I meant by that,"

"Then what do you mean stupid wench?" He yelled out, never had I felt this low in my life and I decided I was going to leave now, after all, it was a big party and with my mask, I didn't have to be seen, I tried to slip away from him but his grip on me was firm.

"Do you want to be my Luna?" He asked, his question sounded more like a mockery but I couldn't say no to the Alpha so I decided to go with it.

" Yes," I simply said.

He grinned and shoved me away.

"I, Alpha Leo of Creekstone pack reject you as my mate and Luna,"

At the sound of his declaration, I felt a pang on my chest and I fell to the floor.
