Brielle’s POV

I avoided my sisters, because I couldn’t bear be humiliated this night. The hall was filled with beautiful men and women, all looking every bit regal as they danced around the hall.

I watched in jealousy but I did my work, so I wouldn't be scolded by the head maid.

Who was storming towards me now.

"Gabriella. " She called, and I lifted my head to look at her.

"Yes ma'am?"

She gestured to a tray of food. "Go and serve the Alphas and Betas. Hurry up."

My heart leaped to my chest. The Alpha, my dad, and the beta's son, Cole.

I always had a crush on Cole. Despite the way everyone treated me, he never treated me that way.

Could he be my mate? No way, a low slave like me, and a beta like him?

Only in my dreams.

Smoothing my dress, I dragged the tray up to the table where they were, my body shaking as I avoided the glare from everyone, including my father who wasn't happy to see me here.

I would probably get beaten for that later.

My eyes met Cole's and the strangest thing happened.

A beautiful scent wafted into my nose, and his eyes widened.

My wolf whispered the one word I never knew I could hear.

Mate.

Cole was my mate?

A wide smile came onto my lips as I looked into his eyes.

My world came to a standstill. A whole Beta was my mate? That meant I wouldn't be a slave anymore.

That meant good things. Maybe he would come to love me.

My head pounded with happiness and hope filled my chest.

However, reality crashed down on me as I noticed the disapproving scowl on my father's face.

He sneered at me, his voice laced with disdain. "What is this lowly servant doing here? Get back to the kitchen, Gabriella!"

I hesitated, my eyes still locked with Cole's, but all my excitement died as he let out a loud sigh, standing to his feet.

Everyone was watching now, and they made fun of me, but I didn't care. I had eyes for my mate only.

But my mate didn't have eyes only for me.

Hitting me from behind, my eldest sister Anna walked past me with a smirk on her lips. She reached Cole and what happened next felt like a knife was stuck into my chest.

They kissed, leaving me gaping at them and the tray in my hand came crashing to the floor, the sound resonating in the whole ball.

"C-cole?" I stuttered, tears falling from my eyes. Mates are supposed to love eachother, right? Why was mine kissing my sister?

"But you are my mate!" I cried, ignoring the hisses of anger my father was directing at me.

Cole sighed.

"You are not my mate, Anna is."

The world crumbled around me, and I fell to my knees, the realization hitting me like a tidal wave.

The one glimmer of hope, the fantasy of escaping my life as a servant, vanished before my eyes.

"But... the scent," I whispered, my voice choked with sorrow. "My wolf said..."

Cole interrupted, his tone indifferent. "Your wolf was mistaken. You're nothing to me."

My heart seared in pain at the rejection, and I looked at them with tears in my eyes as Anna kissed him deeply, both not caring that I was here, dying.

Anna broke the kiss, grinning at me. "Cole, reject her officially. I don't want her getting the wrong idea."

"Yes baby."

Cole pinned me with a stern look. "I, Beta Cole, reject you, lowly servant, as my mate." He pronounced, and the whole guests presents laughed loudly as I screamed in pain, feeling the mate bond cut.

All my life, I have been hated. Even by my own mate.

Was there a reason to be here anymore?

"Guards!" My father thundered, his face red with anger as he glared hard at me.

I was on the floor, surrounded by food and have just been rejected by my mate who was kissing my sister.

I was every bit of the disgrace he saw me to be.

"Take this wretched being out of this castle. Do whatever you want with her. She's no longer needed in my life!"

The guards snickered as they lifted me roughly from the floor and I just let them. He finally disowned me.

I was finally alone, unwanted and unloved.

The guards took me to the border, and with anger, flung me out of the pack and decided to leave me a parting gift.

They all descended on me, punching me in every area until I couldn't cry or block anymore.

"Wretched whore." They snickered as they left me outside the border, where the rogues and every other monster stayed.

I was unwanted, unloved and unneeded.

Curling into a ball to minimise the pain, darkness finally took over, and I let myself fall unconscious

    Brielle "She's not dead, just unconscious." A gruff voice pierced into my consciousness and a foot hit my stomach, pulling me out of my daze. I hunched forward, holding my stomach to prevent any more attacks. "Yep, she's very much alive. Who are you, rogue? Answer before I kill you for trespassing." The voice threatened, and I felt my heart race in fear. I avoided their gaze. "Please, don't hurt me. I don't mean any harm." I pleaded, fear enveloping me as I recalled what my father used to do to rogues and trespassers. I had no idea I had trespassed. If I wasn't at the border, that means... No! That means I was in the neighbouring pack... The cruel Alpha king, feared across all kingdoms and known for being unforgiving. Those guards! They did it on purpose. I was good as dead. Only the goddess can save me. A hand held my collar roughly, dragging me up to my feet. I avoided my gaze, not allowing them to take my eye contact for deviance. "Hm. She looks harmless."

    Brielle My eyes finally adjusted to the light just as a small voice muttered the words I never thought I would hear in this situation. Mate. The Alpha king was my mate? My second Chance? "Bring her forward. I need to see what I'm looking at." His dark, husky voice sent vibrations through my body, and I almost pleaded to hear him speak, but a large hand pushed me forward, and I came stumbling before his feet. I could now see him clearly, and my breath caught in my throat. In all the rumors they said about him, no one ever mentioned how beautiful he was. His eyes were a stormy grey, cold and calculating, yet holding a magnetic intensity that drew me in. Sharp cheekbones accentuated his rugged features, and his jet-black hair framed his face with a controlled wildness, teasing and inviting me to run my hands through them. His silk shirt had two buttons down, and I could see a peek of his muscular chest and a scribe of tattoos on it. I wanted to see more. My gaze locked with h

    Brielle A maid took me to a room which had a door in the bathroom leading to another room. I was instructed to never open the door. I didn't care about that. All I thought about was the fact that my mate refused to be my mate, but wanted to use me as a slave. A queen to be seen not heard, and his own personal sex slave and breeder, who would give him a heir. I hated this fate. My wolf cried in pain. Never did I think I woukd be destined for this kind of fate. I never wanted this fate for me. I always felt I would be with our beta's son, but he chose Anna over me. Even my own mate didn't want me. I was useless, and would be doomed to be the Alpha's property. I could barely sleep as I thought about being tied to this fate after tomorrow for the rest of my life. Even as the maids all rushed into my room in the morning to get me ready for the wedding. Even as I became the world's most beautiful woman ever. Even as I was walked to meet The king at the alter. I couldn't think of any

    BrielleI cried as the pain shot up in me, nearly dulling the pleasure I felt earlier.He slipped his length in and the pain dulled, but I was still getting accustomed to the feeling of a whole muscle into me.He moved a bit, and a gasp left my lips at the bolt of pleasure I felt from that.He moved his hips, and a moan left my lips as he grazed a spot in me."Fuck you are so fucking tight. " He groaned and he moved again. I gripped the bedsheets tight, tried to stable myself but he didn't let me as he pounded softly into me."I need to see your face while I fuck you." He growled and I was turned over, so my back was on the bed and my chest was exposed to him.My hands flied to cover my breast and my cheeks tinted, but he growled."Don't cover up. I own it. All of it."My hands fell to my sides and I saw his eyes darken even more as they took in my rock hard nipples.He lowered himself and took a bud between his lips, his tongue flicking over it and sending a bolt of pleasure through

    BrielleFor the next two months, I planned on how to escape. The pack was so tight, it was almost impossible to escape the tight walls.But I found a maid, Rachel, who cared a whole deal about me.She had a plan to sneak me out. I just had to say when. But something was holding me back.In the two months I've spent in the pack, Lydia made every day hell. From insults to threats, hitting and abusing me while Zadyre turned a blind eye.He barely even spoke to me, the only time he paid me attention was when he had to come into my room in the middle of the night, and sleep with me.Those were the only nights I felt alive. I know he felt it too because it was hard to ignore. Maybe if I stayed a bit longer, he would realise he belonged to me.I felt incredibly stupid for thinking those thoughts, but those were the reasons I had not left the pack.I hoped for him to see me.But that wasn't going to happen and I finally found a reason to run at breakfast, where Lydia asked the question that s

    Brielle Rachel’s face paled as the words echoed between us, the hush falling afterwards a stark reminder of what was at stake, my life and that of my unborn child.“I can’t stay here anymore. I can’t let them find or take my baby away from me Rachel.” I cried softly, remembering that the walls were super thin and if the wrong person should hear, then it was over.Rachel turned away towards the door and locked it twice, before rushing back to me with unused tears in her eyes. “Then we leave tonight.” My eyes widened in shock. “But Rachel, I thought you said it wasn’t safe to leave this week.”She grabbed my hands, her small ones fitting in mine. “But it would be suicidal to remain here when you are already with child. The Alpha’s seed is not like others. One would be able to detect the baby in few days after it has formed.”My throat dried up as I made up my mind. I couldn’t let my child be doomed to this fate with those monsters as it’s parents. I held my belly protectively.“Let’s

    Brielle My eyes fluttered slowly, bright light stabbing needles into my brain. Immediately I felt the sensation of pain all around my body and a loud groan left my lips. “Don’t worry, your body wouldn’t hurt anymore.” The soft baritone voice of a man swam into my ear, calming my nerves for a bit before I realized, I didn’t know that voice. Immediately my eyes flew open and I pushed myself up on the bed, my heart beat racing and my eyes darting around. But the sudden movement caused my bones to ache and I groaned out in pain. "Easy, easy," the man said, rushing to my side and gently pressing me back onto the bed. "You need to rest. You've been through a lot." I tried to resist, but my body felt like lead, and I couldn't muster the strength to fight him off. He handed me a glass of water, and I took a sip, the cool liquid soothing my parched throat. After taking water, I was able to focus. And my eyes met with particular pair of brown. A familiar pair. He gave me a soft smile, a

    ZADYRE Immediately she stepped into the hall, I sensed her wolf. My eyes immediately darted to the entrance and there she was. After years of searching, I finally found her, my mate. Her eyes sparkled as she walked in, a man with her and three little children behind them, and my wolf growled angrily. Five years was surely enough time for her to move on. I took a sip of my drink in the corner of the hall where I sat with my guards, who patiently waited for my order. Too bad for her, five years wasn’t going to change the truth. She belonged to me. And that’s what I was here for. To reunite with my mate. And I do not care if she is married or has a new life with her kids that weren’t mine. I knew she was hiding out in the human world, but it took me so long to find her in all the states. And never did I know she was with this traitor, a member of my pack. She thought she was smart with hiding under a new identity and appearance but all that didn’t work. I’m taking what

    DamonThe sounds around me suddenly went silent. I could do no other thing than panic as we walked outside and I set my eyes on Amelia that was in the pool of her own blood. Her hand trembled over her stomach and her dress was soaked with her own blood. My chest tightened and it felt like I was being stabbed over and over again in my heart. For the first time in decades, fear consumed me. Not just fear- terror.Brielle ran to her and started talking to her but I didn’t hear anything, I walked to her and I dropped to my knees beside her, ignoring the roar of the battle continuing behind me.“Amelia!” My voice cracked, raw and desperate. Her lashes fluttered weakly, her breath shallow. Her usually fiery eyes, the ones that taunted and challenged me endlessly, were glassy and unfocused.I pressed my hands to the wound, my fingers slick with her blood. “You’re not leaving me. Do you hear me?” My voice was a growl now, a plea wrapped in steel. I could feel her slipping, her life force dimm

    AmeliaIt was the day of the wedding and we were finally out of captivity. Damon and I had tried to escape but it was futile. Later on, Sebastian had come to our rescue and even if we were weary at first we decided to trust him. The palace was in chaos as everyone prepared for the wedding. Sebastian had told us of his plan already and I was ready for how the day was going to turn out. Maids and guards were going back and forth as they prepare the hall for the wedding, they didn’t want to be on the receiving end of Orlando’s fury. I avoided Damon most of the morning, finding excuses to busy myself with Brielle.But even amidst the turmoil, my thoughts were elsewhere.I was pregnant. I had found out earlier that morning and I hadn’t been able to process things well since then. I hadn’t told anyone- not even said the words out loud to myself. I felt like saying it would make it more real and I wasn’t sure I wanted to accept the truth. I placed a hand over my stomach and let out a shak

    AmeliaThe days at the resort passed in an awkward, suffocating blur. Damon’s rejection echoed in my mind, a relentless loop of words that stung more than I cared to admit. I tried my best to stay out of his way and pretended like the pull of the bond that was dragging me to him was nonexistent. I avoided him as best as I could, but we were staying the same room and tension was thick and suffocating. Every time my eyes fell on him, I would feel my hear ache- it was longing for his love and touch but I knew it was something I couldn’t get- something I would never get. I buried myself in helping Brielle and Zadyre with their problems. It was easier to focus on them than to face my own mess. Brielle had enough to deal with without me adding my drama to the mix, so I kept my distance and my mouth shut.When we returned to the pack, the air felt different. Heavier. Maybe it was just me, carrying the weight of the unspoken bond between Damon and me. Or maybe it was the way the pack still

    DamonThe discussion I had with Zadyre earlier played over and over again in my head as I drove through the road, holding on to the steering wheel tightly. “You know you’re the only I trust and know can do this, Damon,” he had said in a very serious tone. “The border spell will keep us safe, but it has to be precise. If it falters, Sebastian and his allies could find us before we’re ready.”“I know it’s an easy task,” I had replied him as I shrugged it off. But Zadyre’s expression had told me this wasn’t like the other times.“And,” he continued, glancing at Brielle and the kids in the distance, “I need you to keep Amelia in line. She can be of help.”I’d raised an eyebrow at that. “Of help? Sounds like a handful.”“Just take her with you,” Zadyre muttered, his gaze darkening. “She’s loyal and she can keep an eye on you. She can even help you.”Now, as Amelia sat in the passenger seat beside me, her arms crossed and her glare cutting through the silence, I wondered if Zadyre had unde

    A sneak peak to Damon’s point of view of when he first met AmeliaDamon’s POVThe drive back to Brielle’s location was tense, filled with an unspoken urgency. Zadyre was silent in the passenger seat, his gaze fixed on the horizon. He hadn’t said much since I convinced him to come back and get her. Convincing him hadn’t been easy; his stubbornness was unmatched, and his pride even more so. But I couldn’t let him leave her behind.“She’s your mate, Zadyre,” I’d told him earlier, my tone sharp. “You can’t just abandon her. You’ve been through hell, and so has she. The least you can do is protect her.”He’d gritted his teeth, jaw tight, before muttering something about her safety being more important than his presence. But I knew better. Their bond was very strong and undeniable, no matter how much he tried to pretend he wasn’t drawn towards her or needed her. As we got closer to the house where Brielle was supposedly at, I could feel Zadyre’s body tensing up. It was radiating off him li

    The End… Or the Beginning? BrielleDays have passed and everything had for back to the way they always were. It was morning and after breakfast, we decided to take the kids outside. The pack lands were now more beautiful after we had gotten rid of every evil that plagued it. There trees were lush, the rivers clear, the people happy and the air was filled with the smell of the beautiful and blooming flowers. It was like Mother Nature was happy that we were healing from the past so so she was helping to hasten the process. Nikki and Micah were running in front of us as they chased each other though the garden with their laugh echoing across the beautiful sky. Rachael was walking in front of us too both not as playfully as her brothers, she had always been much calmer and smarter than them. Zadyre and I walked behind them while holding hands and letting the peacefulness of the park and the air wash past us. It felt surreal, this calm after the storm.“You know,” I began, my voice sof

    BrielleImmediately Orlando fell to the ground in the hall and lost his life, I felt a surge of energy burst through from him and enter into me. It felt like something that I didn’t know was missing from my body finally came into place and I felt that wild energy course through me though it was tamer than before. It was overwhelming and terrifying all at once but I soon relaxed my body and the tension left as I welcomed it. My powers. They were back.I gasped as the strength and connection to my wolf rushed through my veins, stronger than ever. It was like breathing again after years of suffocation. It was too late to save devastation as he had breathed his last so I rushed over to Zadyre that was still battered and bloody, his wounds had not healed at all and I could see the life slipping out of him gradually. His breathing was unsteady and shallow and his chest rose and fell but it was faint. “Zadyre!” I cried as I moved closer to him. I didn’t know where to touch him, I didn’t kno

    Sebastian I could feel myself losing a lot of blood and my life slipping away, my body was aching a lot and even breathing was painful. Everything became blurry but I tried so hard to stay awake and alive, I had something to say to Zadyre and I wouldn’t die without telling him what I had in mind. I turned my head to the direction where Zadyre laid motionless with Brielle by his side. His body was battered and covered in blood and regret washed over me. I had done this, how had we gotten here?I let out a shaky breathe as different mentors from the past came flooding into my mind- memories of my anger, my acting out and of me being wicked. I had hated Zadyre and did a lot of bad things to him because I had thought he was the reason we were orphans but I was wrong and I knew the truth now. And as I slowly but surely lost my life, I needed to let him know and I couldn’t die without his forgiveness. Brielle was crying and I could she was torn between staying with Zadyre and coming to c

    Brielle“Zadyre!” I called, and he glanced back at me just long enough to understand what I was about to do but Orlando must have noticed that we were silently communicating because when I moved closer to him, he turned his attention away from Zadyre and punched me. “Brielle!” Zadyre yelled but he couldn’t stop Orlando or get to me. The force from Orlando’s punch had me being flown across the room like a rag doll. My body hit the stone wall with a loud thud and I fell to the ground, the stone I had held and watched to use on Orlando had lodged itself against my chest and I had an open would. Every breathe I took felt like I was being stabbed in the lungs over and over again but I couldn’t be weak or just stay there, I had to do something to help Zadyre. My vision started becoming blurry and I tried to sit up but it was hard. I managed to get the stone out of my body and my eyes glanced to the side where Damon and Sebastian were engaged in a serious fight with Lydia. She was a storm
