"I, Luciano Marchetti, Alpha king of the Crescent Moon pack, reject you, Freya Delaney, as my mate and luna." His husky baritone scratched my ear, as he strangled and glared downward at me. "A-Alpha, i-it hurts." I whimpered, gazing up at him tearfully. + He rules his kingdom with an iron fist. At the mention of his name, every wolf shudders with trepidation. He is none other than Luciano Marchetti, the ruthless alpha king of the crescent moon pack. Meanwhile, Freya Delaney is a lowly omega maid in Luciano's palace who has never had the chance to see him. Her life falls apart on one fateful day, when she wakes up next to the corpse of Luciano's mother with a bloody knife in her grasp. As expected, no one believes her innocence, and she is immediately deemed a murderer. What happens when she finds out that the alpha king is her fated mate? What more when he rejects her on the spot and casts her into the dungeon instead?

Murderer

Freya's POV

A choked gasp escaped my lips as I squeezed my eyes open.

It felt as if I had been running from a demon in my sleep before I snapped back to consciousness.

Confusion coursed through me as I scanned the exquisite ceiling of the room, from where I was lying.

Realization hit me like a wicked stepmother and I became aware that I was neither in my bedchamber at the servants quarters, nor was the cold, hard surface on which my back was glued to my bed.

"Danger, Freya. There's danger." My wolf, Ana, chanted from within.

I immediately tilted my head sideways, and as soon as I did, I wish I had never done so.

The gory sight that met my eyes caused me to jump as a frightful mewl emitted from my mouth.

I was lying in a pool of blood I presumed wasn't mine, beside the dowager luna.

The mother of the Alpha king.

Luna Lorelei.

Her face was deathly pallor, her eyes were open but they weren't moving, and there was a wide gash on her chest where blood was still oozing out in copious amounts.

Harsh cognition briskly dawned on me, and I realized I had been lying in the luna's pool of blood.

And she was most likely dead.

As I made to stand up, the blood vessels at my temple began to painfully throb, causing my vision to spin.

Through clenched teeth, I struggled to sit up and that was when, I heard the loud clattering of an object beside me.

For the umpteenth time that day, I gasped as I saw the object.

It was a bloody knife.

I realized something for the second time that day, my hands were drenched in blood, same as my uniform and socks.

Although, my pumps were nowhere to be found.

"N-No. This can't be." I muttered to myself like a senile widow who couldn't accept the news of her husband's death.

Something wasn't right.

In the past ten years that I had been a maid at the palace, I had never had the opportunity to visit the main palace, talk less of entering the luna's chambers.

The most frustrating aspect of the whole thing was that I couldn't remember how I got into the chamber.

The only thing I remembered was that yesterday had been the dowager luna's sixtieth birthday, and I was in the kitchen doing dishes with some maids after the party ended.

Apart from that, I couldn't remember anything else.

And now, I was in her bedchamber with a bloody knife in my grasp, looking disheveled.

"Dowager Luna's bedchamber is on the ground floor and the window is open. We can run away from here before we get framed, Freya." Ana suggested.

"No. That'd make it seem as if I have something to hide. I didn't do it, so there's no reason why I should run away." I countered, and I felt her bristle within me.

"You are fucking stupid at times. That's your problem." She bit back, and as I made to snap at her, the door creaked open and an elderly woman, who I presumed was the dowager luna's lady in waiting, strolled in.

Good. I could explain myself to her. I reassured myself, ignoring my wolf's grumble.

I guessed my wolf was right and I was really stupid because I didn't expect her to scream in terror or for her eyes to widen into saucers as she saw me.

I was foolish enough to think she'd have helped me without being scared or shocked by the unpleasant sight.

"M-Ma'am, calm down. I didn't do it. Please believe me." I started like an imbecile.

The elder woman shook her head in disbelief, her eyes darting between the dowager luna's corpse and I.

"You bloody murderer. What have you done? How could you do this?" She spat, tears rolling down her cheeks as she cradled the dowager luna's body.

"Murderer? I-I didn't do it. I swear to the moon goddess. I work here in the palace as a maid. I also have no idea how I got here, but I-"

The rest of my words flew back into my mouth as I heard a knock on the door.

"You should have escaped when you could." Ana taunted, and I ignored her.

"Are you alright, mother? I heard a scream from my study. Can I come in?" The gravelly baritone of a man came from behind the door.

Mate. Mate. Mate.

My wolf was beside herself with happiness as she chanted the word like a mantra.

How perfect. My mate had all these years to show up, but he didn't, he just had to show up on the worst day of my life.

But wait, "mother?"

Did that mean my mate was the alpha king?

"He's here, Freya. Our alpha is here." Ana swirled in excitement within me.

"You are not answering me, ma. I'm coming in." The voice wafted into my ears again, and I exchanged startled glances with the elder woman.

I squeezed my eyes shut in surrender as the door creaked open, and the man, my mate, strolled in.

So, that was him. 

The alpha king who my best friend, Ivy, had an unhealthy obsession with.

I wondered how she'd take the news that he was my mate.

"Alpha." The elder woman bowed, and I found myself doing the same.

Without uttering a word, he gazed at his mother's corpse before diverting his focus on me.

I had come across various men from all walks of life in the one decade and nine years that I had been alive, but never had I seen a man as gorgeous as him.

Four years had passed since I started working as a palace maid, but I had never had the opportunity to see him because he never partook in festivals and rarely went out.

Alpha was a mysterious enigma to us all.

He had emerald eyes that looked stunning but empty and distant. His auburn hair was slicked back with a stray strand hanging beautifully on his forehead.

His ethereal face seemed as though it was carved by the moon goddess herself. His pointed nose sat perfectly on his face like a button, h-

"Mate?" His voice drew me out of my thoughts, back to the harshful reality of my miserable life.

His handsome facial features contorted into disgust as he glared from the dowager luna's body to me.

"My alpha." I whispered, forcing my aching body up from the floor.

As asinine as I was, my wolf still yearned for my alpha's mating mark.

She yearned to proudly wear the mark like it was a gift bequeathed to her by the moon goddess herself.

I craved to submit to him. It was a weird feeling and I didn't know what to do with myself.

"What happened to my mother, Arabella?" His thunderous voice reverberated across the room.

"Alpha, the evil maid wench killed her. I walked in on her removing the knife from her throat." Arabella lied, and I couldn't help the huff that left my throat.

"I-I ne-"

I was forced to swallow the rest of my words when I was forcefully yanked up from the floor and slammed against the cold hardness of the wall.

His emerald eyes had changed into an icy black void that seemed to suck my soul in, the more I stared at him.

"P-Please let me explain, Alpha. I-I"

"Keep your mouth shut, you darn murderer. To think the moon goddess decided to ridicule me by making a worthless omega wench like you my mate." He spat, curling his hands around my neck.

Instantly, I knew I was in deep trouble.

Ana whimpered softly inside me as he bore his fangs to me in a murderous way.

"Your name, what is it?" He growled.

Sniffing, I stuttered. "F-Freya Delaney."

"I, Luciano Marchetti, Alpha king of the Crescent Moon pack, reject you, Freya Delaney, as my mate and luna." His husky baritone scratched my ear, as he strangled me and glared downward at me.

"A-Alpha, i-it hurts." I whimpered, gazing up at him tearfully.

So tight that I was on the verge of hyperventilating.

"I-I accept your rejection, Alpha." I cried, and he finally let go as the excruciating ache I felt in my chest gradually fizzled out to a dull one.

I wasn't allowed to sympathize with myself for long before I was roughly hauled against the wall again by Luciano. 

"I will make you regret this, you vicious killer." He whispered in an eerily-calm tone.

I fluttered my eyes shut in silent resignation as I awaited my brutal fate.

Cast her into the dungeon
Luciano's POV Anger boiled through my veins as I watched the omega wench close her eyes. I could hear the sound of my own heartbeat pounding in my ears, and the odor of my mother’s blood lingering in the air. At that moment, I wanted nothing more than to rip the omega’s head off her body, but I repressed my murderous instincts because I didn't want to further annihilate the palace's tainted purity. A venomous pretender like the omega didn't deserve to die in a luxurious place like my palace. Freya or whatever her wretched name was. "I order you to look at me." I spat, basking in manic satisfaction as she whimpered like a cornered kitten. Immediately, she squeezed her teary eyes and gazed at me. "Why did you kill her? Which rogue wolf sent you? Is it that worthless Abram Norwich of Ice Fire pack? Who exactly is it?" I yelled, disgust building up within me, the more I stared at her expressionless face. "I think you've got the wrong person, Luciano. She doesn't seem like she can

Captive
Luciano's POV I bit my lips as I felt my eyes fill up with water for the umpteenth time that day–or night. Whichever it was. I had no idea what day it was nor had my lost memories returned to me. It felt as if Alpha Luciano had forgotten all about me, because the guards were yet to tell me about my fate. My gruesome fate. The terrifying aura of the dark dungeon I had been forgotten in made me shiver in trepidation as my teeth clattered, with tears cascading my face. The dungeon was a massive structure that radiated fear. Skeletons littered the floor, their bones scattered aimlessly. The metallic odor of blood also hung in the air; thick and cloying. I knew in my heart that there was no doubt I'd end up like those skeletons. "Luciano may eventually let us go. There's no need to cry, Freya. We didn't do it, right? So let's hold our head up and remain brave, okay?" Ana's voice glided into my thoughts and I just scoffed, gazing down at my chained legs. I was currently sitting on

Evil thoughts brewing
Luciano's POVAs I paced my study with different unhinged thoughts assailing my mind, a knock came on the door yanking me back to reality."Who is it?" I barked."It's Gamma Reginald, Alpha. May I come in?" The voice of my third in command and warrior leader, wafted through the door, causing me to inhale heavily.Picking up my cigar from the ashtray, I bellowed. "You can come in. I presume you're alone.""Yes, Alpha. I came alone." "Very well then." I muttered, lighting up my cigar."Alpha," He said, bowing in front of me. "The preparations for the funeral are underway and the autopsy report have just arrived from the pack's hospital. Would you like to take a look at it now?""That's good. Now we can know whether the omega truly killed her." Killian spoke from within, and I ignored him."Don't bother showing it to me. I already know who killed her and I'm going to make her pay. There's no use leaving her to enjoy an underserved solitude in the dungeon. She deserves to get her punishm

Tortured

The crowd cheered as two huge guards dragged me to the scaffold.Today was the worst day of my life.It was the day of my execution.After five months of investigating the mysterious death of the dowager luna and all evidence still pointed toward me as the murderer, I was eventually sentenced to death by beheading some days ago.Tears oozed out of my eyes as I smiled mirthlessly at the crowd that had gathered to me take my last breath.The pack that had converged to watch me die an undeserving, torturous death."Ivy." I whispered to myself as my eyes scanned the crowd for a familiar brunette.She didn't come.After my sentencing, she had held me in the dungeon and wept bitterly until her cries lulled me to sleep.Strangely enough, the gravity of the whole situation didn't quite dawn on me on the day of my sentencing.The realization just struck me earlier that day when I was asked to take off my clothes and presente

Why can’t this feel right?
Luciano's POV "Monster." I heard Freya whisper feebly as the bricks piled up around her.A dry smile curved my lips as I moved closer to her."Just a minute." I muttered, tapping one of the guard's shoulder, and they immediately stopped working.Retrieving my lighter from my pocket, I took one step closer to Freya. "Monster, huh? How brazen of you."She remained undaunted as she kept glaring at me like she would chop me into pieces the moment she was set free.I knew she couldn't do more than a dead rat because the glare was a look I recognized and had grown accustomed to.It was a look associated with most captives.I called it "the cowardice glare" because they couldn't even dare touch me even if I decided to let them go.The least thing a criminal could do was to at least have a courageous mindset, but they were all feeble-minded punies.I flicked on my lighter and let it dangerously linger beside Freya's neck, and her glare instantly dissolved into a panicked look, which was exac

An unfortunate life
Freya's POV "Help me. Please help me." I wheezed, weakly hitting the immurement.The only response I got was the echo of my own voice and a scoff."Luciano is so evil. He's such a brutal scumbag. Why is he doing this to us?" Ana whimpered from within.And at that moment, I wished I could bring her out of me and hug her."I wish I could hug you too. We've been through so much in just ten days." She said, causing me to sob softly."Do you think we will ever be able to get out of this place? Will we ever be free from this life of torture? Why did this have to happen to us? Why are we being punished for a crime we didn't even commit, Freya?" My wolf asked and I could only cry harder as I clutched my chest.If only I knew the answer to that question."I wish I knew, Ana. I'm so tired of this miserable hell I call a life. Why can't I be happy? Don't I deserve a blissful life after everything I've been through?" I wept.My knees and head ached while my neck itched and burned from the burn w

A change of heart
Luciano's POV "Please accept my sincere condolences once again, Alpha." One of the pack elders said as the diggers covered mother's mahogany casket with earth."Thanks, Elder." I nodded, subconsciously reaching into my pocket for my lighter before realizing that I had left it at the dungeon.I was gradually getting addicted to smoking which wasn't a good thing in the slightest.I could only imagine the nagging I would have gotten from my mother if she were alive.She had always been against me smoking and drinking excessively.Mother would often tell me that alcohol and cigars could only suppress my worries for a while before I get dragged back to the harsh reality of life.And she was right.I had been smoking since she died ten days ago, yet I couldn't get a single hour of peaceful sleep at night.Everything tormented me–from the disturbing voice of my wolf telling me I was making a bad decision by tormenting Freya down to the gory image of mother lying in a pool of her own blood i

Alive
Freya's POVI heaved a blissful sigh as I felt fresh air on my face.Being in the damn brick enclosure had nearly killed me.It was then I realized something; I wasn't in the immurement anymore.The toxic smell of cement that gave me heartburn had dissipated but the throbbing ache at the back of my head still lingered."It seems we survived that torturous ordeal, Freya." Ana squealed, causing me to raise my lips weakly to resemble a smile."It seems the omega is starting to regain consciousness." I heard a strange voice say."Really?" Another voice questioned."Yes. Her lips twitched just now." The former voice responded.Opening my eyes felt like a rigorous task, so I kept my eyes closed while gently breathing in the natural oxygen that the moon goddess bestowed onto us.Nothing could have prepared me for the large amount of cold water that was poured on my head.Instantly, I squeezed my eyes open with a gasp as water cascaded down my body, causing me to shiver."What was that for?"

What is going on?
Luciano's POV "Alpha." Reginald greeted as I trekked into my private bar.The private bar was located at a secluded part of the palace beside my bedchambers.Only Darius, Reginald, and my butler were allowed in there."How is the omega? Has she woken up now?" I asked, sitting on a bat stool."Yes, Alpha," Reginald confirmed, going behind the bar counter to retrieve two shot glasses. "What would you like to drink?" He asked me."Plain whiskey, thanks," I muttered, to which he nodded."What did she look like when you went there?" I prodded as he set the shot glass of whiskey in front of me."She looked disheveled but somewhat heathy in a way like someone has been secretly feeding her. I know it can't be the guards because they won't dare go against your orders." Gamma said, taking his seat on the bar stool beside me."Interesting," I downed the whiskey and grimaced."Would you like me to look into the matter?" He asked, and I waved him off."No, it's fine. The person is doing a great j
