Amara's POV.
"Mate." We whispered simultaneously.
I stood up shakily, staring at him. I wondered what he was going to do to me.
He was so darn tall and handsome, I couldn't help but admire him, I could see his muscles from the clothes.
He glared hard at me, he looked like he wanted to slap me, he didn't though, he only stepped forward slowly until he stood in front of me, we stood there for a while not saying anything. He looked into my eyes as if trying to figure out something.
My wolf pranced around nervously, his energy was subduing mine.
"Alpha, I've been looking for you." I saw another figure come close, he had light brown eyes.
I gasped when I stared at my mate again, he was an alpha???
"Who's this?" He paused, staring at me.
"Aidan, it's my mate." Aidan gasped, blinking repeatedly.
I swallowed nervously, his gaze wasn't loving, from his eyes, it felt like he wanted me dead.
"She's a rogue." He spat.
I shivered, his hate towards me was glaring, I don't know if he felt this bond like I did, or the delicious smell that made me want to run to him.
He looked at me like I was a monster, my wolf whined in pain, I sucked my breath waiting for the rejection but it didn't come.
"Take her with you." He ordered Aidan.
Aidan came to me and I followed him willingly, I didn't want to struggle, I was still weak from all the running.
"But she's your mate.." Aidan said softly, I wanted to thank him for pointing that out, but the alpha turned to me glaring hard.
"She's a fucking rogue." He roared, making me flinch. His voice sounded so loud and powerful.
The air grew thicker and heavier, I tried not to shift in fear, his power was making me want to submit, I was almost whimpering in pleasure.
His scent filled my head, he smelled so intoxicating, I couldn't stop myself from whimpering in pure bliss.
His eyes narrowed and I was afraid he was going to hit me.
We reached an open area and I gasped when I saw the houses there, they were big and beautiful.
There were wolves everywhere, some were training while others played games together.
The pack was full of life.
I never thought a place could feel so happy.
When we arrived I was surprised at how clean the place was, not a speck of dust nor dirt anywhere.
"Welcome to Shadowmoon pack." Aidan smiled.
"Stop being friendly with rogues, they are not to be trusted." He growled, Aidan nodded.
I glared at him, I couldn't help it, he was being irritating.
It felt like he could see my glare, he turned to me immediately, looking at me in a manner that made me shiver.
He then started walking and I followed him dutifully, I wanted to stay away from him.
He led me to a larger building, a room with many people, and a table with different kinds of food on top of it.
I saw werewolves that looked like slaves, I turned to him my eyebrows raising in question.
"Aidan, go tell the pack members I'll attend the meeting soon, you can start, you're the beta, they'll begin with you." He turned to Aidan, who nodded leaving the building.
I could see some slaves rushing to work, I clenched my fists tightly.
"You're now my pack's slave." He announced and blood rushed to my ears .
"N-" I stuttered trying to find words, he smirked at me.
"You will obey my every command, I will allow no disobedience." His smile disappeared.
I bowed my head, feeling ashamed. I knew he didn't like me from the way he acted but I didn't expect this at all.
"Why are you making me a slave?" I asked nervously.
"You're a rogue, I should have you killed, I'm letting you stay because you're unfortunately my mate."
"I don't know why the moon goddess decided to give me a rogue for a mate."
"I'm not a..." He pressed his finger to my lips stopping me from speaking.
"You have no say in what I decide." He spat.
"Why don't you just reject me." I blurted out immediately.
The energy in the room shifted, he pressed my neck backing me to a corner of the room with one hand holding my neck.
"That would be too easy. If I didn't have a bond with you, I'd kill you." He gritted out.
I gulped and averted my gaze from his intense ones.
"You'll stay in one of the rooms here with the slaves, and work a slave, you should be happy I'm giving you this mercy." He didn't leave my neck, his hands tightened as I gasped trying to breathe.
He suddenly moved away, I stumbled back and held my throat where he had pressed. I coughed trying to get rid of the sudden lump in my throat.
His cold gaze pierced into me, I felt as small as a kitten next to this huge beast.
"Do you understand?" He asked.
I couldn't say anything, all I did was stare at him, my heart ached so bad
He seemed satisfied by my silence and left without another word.
I closed my eyes, my chest hurt, I wanted to cry but I didn't. I couldn't show my weakness to him.
He already hurt me by being this way with me, I couldn't let him see how much it affected me.
I thought I found solace when I saw my mate, I didn't know he would act this way with me.
"I asked a question." He thundered.
I nodded slowly, and he laughed.
"If I wanted you to nod as a lizard I would've asked you to nod." He barked.
"I need an answer." He demanded.
"Yes." I whispered.
His face twisted in rage.
He kicked me, knocking me off balance.
I fell on the ground hitting my head and crying out in pain. He walked away , I sat up immediately and I heard footsteps coming closer.
"Who is it?" I asked shakily.
I could see the door opening.
I was about to stand up, but someone pulled
Amara's POV."Get up." I was dragged up immediately."We don't have time to lazy around, slaves have work to do." A woman glared hard at me."And the alpha just told me to make sure you work." She dragged me with her.I followed her swallowing, I couldn't believe he did that to me and left immediately.I followed the woman, we reached a pantry,it was very dirty.I could tell from the looks of it nobody has cleaned it for a long time.The woman threw my shirt into my hands,“You will be working in the kitchen until further notice. You can choose which task is easiest for you, if not then you'll do them all.” I didn't know what tasks to pick. I'm sure this wouldn't help me get my freedom.The woman left after giving me two minutes, she said she'd come back when I had decided what I wanted to do.My body was aching as if my whole body was tired.I tried cleaning up a little. The clothes were filthy and looked old but I didn't want the other slaves to see so I wore mine again.I sat for so
Dylan's POV.I should be excited that I found my mate, but I wasn't, she was a rogue and I didn't like that.I don't care how attractive she looked, I just didn't like rogues.They were responsible for the pain I had, I still remembered the day my parents died.It was vivid in my memories, when the rogues came and killed them.I had to take over power even though I wasn't ready. I still remembered the guilt in me. I would've done something if I didn't go to a party.Meeting my mate and realizing she's a rogue made me so pissed, I couldn't help but act the way I acted with her.I felt the pull crazily, I wanted to run to her after leaving her in the slave quarters, but I refused, I couldn't do that.I told the head slave to make sure she works, I didn't want her lingering around.I couldn't tell anyone she was my mate, only Aidan knew about this.I knew he wouldn't say anything till I told him to, I sighed ruffling my hair as her face slipped into my mind.Her red hair, green eyes, and
Amara's POV.I didn't know what to expect from him, he looked really angry and it scared me.I didn't realize I'll see him here, all I came here to do was cry."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come here." I hiccuped.I started sobbing as my tears stained the dirt around us. I wiped off my cheeks and looked back at him. His expression showed a mixture of guilt, hurt, and anger. But mostly confusion. He stared down at me with no emotion. I was starting to feel scared again."I'm so sorry." I muttered."You should be working like the other slaves.""So can you give me one credible reason why you're here?" He barked.I bit my lip. Why am I even crying? It's not like he cares anymore than usual, but still the sight of his face made my heart ache.He grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from the wall. I let out a whimper."Where are we going?" I managed to squeak out.His eyes locked on mine in an instant. I felt chills go up my spine as I stared at those piercing grey orbs that were filled wit
AMARA'S POV I couldn't take it any longer. My wolf was whimpering in pain. I could feel the pain of being rejected even without being rejected. It was much more awful than being rejected, being betrayed. With shaky legs, I pulled myself up and went wherever I was able to go. I wasn't in my right state of mind. My wolf continued to whine in distress and desperation.The feeling of being betrayed by your mate who hasn't even accepted you is the worst feeling ever. For once I felt like going back to Kaden. At least when I was with Kaden only I was the one suffering but being with Dylan is making my wolf feel the misery that it never deserved. Even I also never deserved this kind of treatment. What did I ever do in my life to get all these sufferings in my life? The only thing I ever wanted was a normal life. A mate who loved me dearly and a pack who treated me fairly. But no, the moon goddess must hate me to the core because no one deserved to be treated like dirt. My train of tho
DYLAN'S POVI don't know what is wrong with me. Why am I thinking about Amara? Why is my wolf howling for her? Why is my mind filled up with the constant desire of getting just a glimpse of her? I don't know why my mind is feeling so fuzzy. I think my wolf is playing with me because I got to know she is my mate. But why did she have to be my mate? Couldn't it be someone else? Even someone unattractive or a slave could be my mate but no it had to be a rogue. A rogue whom I despise the most. Maybe I know what would stop me from thinking about her. Yeah, a one-night stand would definitely be a good way to release my sexual tension and help me think straight again. Without giving it any thought I just went to my pack and looked for someone. Anyone who could quench my thirst for being sexually driven. I smirked when I saw one of the ladies giving me a sultry look and I looked back at her with the same lust-filled gaze. It seemed like she got the message and slowly walked towards an a
AMARA'S POV When he grabbed the side of my face, I flinched in disgust as I felt cold, uneasy shivers run down my spine. My skin underneath his hard grip felt as though it was under boiling larva, and my legs were trembling so badly that I would have fallen to the ground if the man wasn't cornering me to the sink. "You have such blemish free skin for a rogue..." He whispered as he clutched my chin hard before running his thumb over my lips. I shut my eyes tight as I glanced to the side, wishing he'd just disappear. Feeling this man close to me reminded me of past memories with Kaden. Unlike my mate, his prescence made me feel uneasy, and his touch disgusts me and made all the hair at the back of my neck rise. "Hey!" He suddenly growled and with a gasp I was forced to look at him, and I cried outloud when his fingers digged into the flesh of my cheek. "Look at me when I'm talking to you, you slut or I'll kill you!" "Could you repeat what you said just right now?"I didn't want to
DYLAN'S POV I watched as she tripped and fell face first on the ground when I threw her into the cell before I locked the gates. It took her some seconds to lift her head, and when she turned to me, I could see her bursted lips, and the blood running down her left cheek. But that wasn't what startled me. She suddenly got up and ran towards me, wrapping her arms around the bars of the gates with a pleading look in her eyes. I tried hard to look away, but the fucking mate bond was subjecting me to staring into those enchanting emerald green eyes of hers. Aside being a rogue, I don't think Amara had a single flaw that would make me want to reject her every single minute I thought of her. She was undeniably the most beautiful she-wolf I had ever come across. Infact, no woman could hold a candle to her other worldly beauty and pulchritudinous appearance. With her red hair and doe shaped jewel eyes, she was capable of rendering men to their knees with so much as a swing of her bodacio
DYLAN'S POV I didn't even bother to touch the message. Even though there was a look of horror on the elders' faces, my face was completely neutral. Infact, I had never been calm about anything as this right now. I have received worse threats, and yet, they all seemed futile and useless. I turn to Barton who had the same neutral expression as I did. The scar a witch had given him during a deadly fight was still there, intimiddating and huge, slashed across his eyes. One thing about werewolves, we couldn't heal the way we did if we were wounded or scarred by witches. We just healed like normal humans, the scar still there to remind us of our past encounter. It was slashed across his left eyes, from the top lid to his cheek, and yet I wondered how he drew the attention of most women in the pack. His hazel eyes were piercing and cold, and his raven black hair shielded most of his eyes. I didn't make Barton head of my pack warriors for nothing. He was strong, resilient and trust worth
Dylan’s Pov“Are you ready?” I asked Amara for the tenth time already. “Will be done in a minute honey,” She replied, as she continued her makeup. “Why didn't you just let the maids do this for you?” I whined.“Because I wanted something mild” She grinned over at me before adding “Besides, Carlos was disturbing me.” I rolled my eyes at her because I knew she was exaggerating. “Daddy” Little Carlos called out running into my arms. I lifted him and swung him around once until he started to squeal with glee. It was our favorite routine. “Is mommy done yet?” He inquired as I set him down.“Not yet, my boy,” I replied smiling at him. “But, everyone is waiting for us” he whined. “How old are you again?” Amara asked him. She never seemed to get tired of his antics.“Two!”He declared.“Oh, you're so grown up. And mummy is done we can go down now.” She said as she stood up to kiss Carlos on the cheek. I picked Carlos up again and kissed Amara on her forehead. “You look beautiful”
Dylan’s Pov “She won't tell you herself but I can,” Anita the witch seer muttered entering the torture room.Elana's eyes widened when she saw her. “ I should have killed you when I had the chance,” She said.“Don't flatter yourself, Elana. You couldn't kill me.” Anita replied.“You are lucky I'm in chains and you absorbed my powers, you would have regretted helping them,” Elana retorted.I was surprised at how confident she was even when she at the verge of dying. Anita walked up to her and placed her hands on her head. Elana kept struggling but seer paid no attention to her. After a minute, Seer removed her hands and smiled mockingly.“You know what, Elana? That was more easier than expected,” She mu
Elana's Pov“We meet again, Elana.” Anita the daughter of the witch queen said appearing before me.She smiled warmly at me but I could see malice behind her eyes.She stepped forward and stared into my eyes with intensity. I could see the hatred and resentment burning behind her amber brown eyes.“You shouldn’t be here.” I said softly.“Didn’t you learn the last time?” I taunted.She smiled at me before disappearing before I could a react.“The great, Elana” Dylan’s growled behind me. I turned to find Dylan standing behind me. His expression was blank and unreadable.“What… are you doing here?” I stuttered trying to hide my fear. You're a witch, Elana.” He sneered. I saw anger flashing in his eyes.“No, I'm not,” I denied flatly.“Then what was that utterance about?” he asked referring to my conversation with Anita, confirming that I wasn't hallucinating.“I perceived an unfamiliar scent so I only challenged the person” I replied,hoping he buys it because i didnt like that look o
Elana’s Pov I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling and thinking about my life. How long was I going to wait for Dylan to fall in love with me? I was getting older and there was still no sign of affection from him. Will I grow old and die while waiting for him to love me? I had rejected two good mates the moon goddess blessed me with just for him yet he won't love me.I have waited for so long to not influence his feelings for me with my powers but I have waited for a long time. It's about time I make him love me.“Hahaha” I let out an evil laugh.“I'm a witch after all,” I told myself. “Why should I beg for love when I can make him fall in love with me,” I said, smiling wickedly. I jumped off my bed excitedly. I was going to cook up something in the cave for him. “A nice little drink.” I thought.I should take advantage of the fresh air and walk down there instead of flying. I wore my boots and headed downstairs. As I descended the stairs, I met Princess, and for the f
Dylan’s Pov“We are not wasting any more time. I will mind link the others to meet us at the barrier.” I stated firmly. He nodded and gave me an assuring smile. I quickly mind-linked Aidan telling him to meet me at the barrier with others. As soon as I finished I ran towards the barriers the sound of cracking bones as I shifted calming me down. I picked up a motion beside me and turned to see that Stephen has shifted too. On getting to the barrier, Aidan, Barton, Cecelia, and Jeffery were already there.We quickly changed back to human form but didn't say anything immediately.“What's going on Dylan? You sounded really pissed.” Aidan asked worry written all over his face just like the others. “I'm more than pissed, Aidan. I have been living with my enemy,” I snapped before letting out a deep breath and trying to calm myself down.“What do you mean living with your enemy? Barton asked.“Remember the day Amara was kidnapped? I asked them and they nodded.“How we knew black magi
Dylan’s Pov It's been two days since the mating ceremony and I'm glad it was a success.I had a meeting with Stephen today so I decided to go down for breakfast.Surprisingly the house was still quiet only the maids were awake. “Good morning Alpha” They greeted. “Good morning,” I replied. “Are you all doing okay today?” They nodded their heads vigorously.“Yes Alpha, we are all very well,” one of them said as she dried her hands on a towel. “Good good,” I smiled before taking my seat in the dining. Stephen should be here in five minutes I thought, waiting for him to arrive. I took a sip of coffee before taking out a piece of toast and started to eat.As if on cue there was a knock on the door and a voice saying, “He is in the dining room,” “Good morning, Alpha” Stephen greeted.“Good morning, Stephen” I replied, motioning for him to sit down.“How have you been? You look tired,” he commented as he took his seat beside me.“I am. I did not sleep well last nigh
Elana’s Pov Waking up was a little awkward. When I woke up this morning I had woken up in Kaden’s strong arms. I was so comfortable right now. I wanted to fall asleep again but knew I shouldn't waste any more time. I have to return to pack before anyone looks for me and I still need to see Amara. Slowly and gently I removed his hand from my waistc. After a minute he stirred slightly. Without saying a single word, I slipped off the bed quietly and grabbed my clothes from yesterday, which consisted of a black dress and sneakers. I exited the room and closed the door quietly behind me. I walked towards the stairs and went downstairs silently. I heard movement near the kitchen and saw Amara sitting at the kitchen table reading a book. Now, I see why Kaden had books in his room. He wanted to impress her. “Good approach” I thought. She looked up when she heard me walking towards her. “Look who the cat dragged in,” She said sarcastically . “You sound awfully happy. Is this h

Elana's Pov You like that?” He asked spanking it harder. “Oh god yes. Go slow. Please”. ”Please what?” he said in a mocking tone. “Touch me harder!” “You’re going to need more.” “Show me” As soon as the word left my mouth, Kaden slapped me as hard as he could. “You’re fucking insatiable aren’t you?” “Ya…Kaden” “That’s what I thought,” he said before trailing kisses on my back down to my ass. He gently bit and nipped at it. “Stop it, I can't breathe,” I gasped “Why can’t you breathe?” He asked teasingly. I moaned loudly as I felt a sharp pinch. “Aww I love it when you scream” He mumbled as he started nibbling around my pussy. I tried to concentrate on breathing but failed miserably and my mind began racing. “Fuck! Fuck! Oh fuck! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! OH SHIT!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. My knees were weak and I was having difficulty standing but Kaden wasn’t done eating me up so I held on to the table for support. “Fuck! That hurt! Oh, f
