MATILDA'S POV It was night by the time I finished cleaning and everywhere was already so dark, I could not know exactly what the time was since I had no watch on me.The sharp pain in my hand drew my attention to look at and I noticed I was bleeding as a result of too much work. I wiped off the blood with the helm of my garment and started gradually going outside the hall while looking out for alpha Moses, I do not want a repeat of the morning's event. Probably this time around since there would not be any work to give to me, he would just kill me Instead.I chuckled at the thought of that then I suddenly remembered my training with Eva, she would probably be worried about me by now because I was supposed to have returned a long time ago, but I did not have a phone to call her to inform her of my predicament so she would probably not be aware of what I was going through.I immediately started making my way to the slave's quarters from the pack house, normally remembering the event tha
MATILDA'S POVIt was finally the day of the mating ceremony that the whole pack had been waiting for, especially the unmated wolves.I was returning from that pack house that morning, back to the slaves' quarters when I heard some slaves talking about it. I had never attended such a ceremony before, even when it was held in my father's pack, because I had been my mate, Tony, when I turned eighteen, and from all the things I heard it seemed like it would be a very interesting ceremony."It had been a long time since the mating ceremony was held in our pack." One of them said excitedly."It was even more interesting this time around because all the omegas and maids were invited to the ceremony, which had never been done before." another one said happily.I could feel the air of excitement in everyone around the place, but I was not happy because I knew that I would not be able to attend the ceremony even if I wanted to because I had been banned from entering the hall. I could get punis
MOSES'S POVThe mating event started, and people from prominent packs were seen moving in along with their Alphas. Even those that had found their mates also came to the event just to witness the ceremony and I was happy, seeing all the look plans turned out perfect.Louis came to call me into my room when I was dressing up and informed me that everyone was already settled in the hall and they were waiting for my arrival speech."I will be outside soon," I said to him as I did the last button of my suit while looking at the mirror.I was all smiles but I had no idea why, I knew it was not because of the event. I was not hoping to find any mate there after what had happened to my fated mate, I was not sure the moon goddess would give me a second chance, it's a rare thing that only happened for a reason.When I entered the hall, everyone had settled there, and I saw the Alpha sitting in a place that had been prepared for them. Even the maids were not left out in the fun because I had d
MATILDA'S POV I stopped running after I had gone a little far from the hall, to where no one would even see me.There was no point staying there to look for my mate, he probably was not there, and there was no way he would be there. After all, I did not belong there.What I should be doing now is not looking for my mate but training even more so that I would be strong enough to be able to escape from there so that I could meet my grandmother and Kelvin, I had been away from them for too long and I had really missed them. The two were the only people who had ever shown me love in my life. I blushed as I thought about Kelvin. I really missed him and the times we used to spend together, he really showed me sincere love like a real friend.Kelvin was my only human friend, he knew I was a werewolf yet he still agreed to be my friend and stood by me. He was the only one I was able to open up to about my true identity and he stayed. I was scared initially that he would leave after finding
MOSES'S POVI returned to the hall with a big frown on my face, my fists clenched and my lips pressed together. I had been happy ever since but finding out that Matilda was my second chance a few moments ago was enough to ruin my mood for the whole of that day.My face changed when I saw some of the wolves interacting happily with their newfound mates, my eyes traced the Alphas and their Lunas sitting on the high table, chatting happily.Everyone was happy except me, and it was all because of that good for nothing Matilda.It was still hard for me to believe that the moon goddess would give me a second chance to have a mate, but then why would she give me a pathetic mate? Was it to punish me for my wickedness? I angrily walked over and went to sit on my chair still with an annoyed look on my face. I was certain that it must be noticed that my angry face did not match the happy mood that every other person in the hall was in.I was still nursing my anger and thinking of my predicamen
MATILDA'S POV Eva and I were still hiding behind the big rock inside the cave when I heard Luxian calling my name while walking into the cave, looking around for us.The both of us came out from our hiding place as soon as we were aware that it was Luxian who had come into the cave. I should have known he was the one, who else knew about the cave if not him?"Luxian!" I called softly as I walked out of the hiding. " What are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be at the mating event? Is the event over?" I asked him curiously, thinking he should be at the mating event except his situation turned out just like Eva.I totally forgot not wearing any clothes before Luxian walked in and used my hand to cover the upper part of my body, feeling shy standing in front of Luxian like that, but Eva seemed to act normal, she did not see it as anything, being seen by another wolf without wearing cloth.Even Luxian didn't see a big deal in this, he just looked at us just like the way he always
MATILDA'S POV My head hurt like crazy when I opened my eyes, at first there were scales in my eyes so I could not see properly, but I felt something cold moving on my body.I moved my hand and rubbed my eyes gently with my fingers."You are awake." I need a voice.I immediately recognized the voice that spoke to me, and then the scales covering my eyes wore out and I saw Eva hovering over me. She had a wet cloth on her hand and a bucket of water by her side."You are awake!" she said again looking at me as I sat up on the bed while rubbing my eyes at the same time. It was kind of hard for me to grasp exactly what was going on in my environment.Why had I zoned out and why does Eva have a worried look on her face?"How are you feeling now?" She asked worriedly, with her eyes scanning my body.I nodded my head to tell her I was okay, apart from the slight headache I felt, and the unrest all over my body I was okay. But then why was I having such a worried feeling?The look of worry on
MOSES'S POV I woke up with my eyes blurred and my head spinning, my head pounded, sharp and heavy and I felt pains all over my body, especially my stomach. I tried to set up on the bed but my entire body was weak, and then, I remembered I was poisoned.I tried to sense my wolf, but he was only whimpering in pain, trying to recover from the poison, just like me.I managed to look around my silent environment despite the heavy pains in my body. I noticed that I was in the pack's hospital, Louis was sitting by my bedside."You are awake." He said with a smile when he noticed my movements and stood up quickly."Where is that girl who had poisoned me? I hope you did not let her escape?" I asked, ignoring his excitement on seeing that I was awake. He should not expect me to die just like that, did he?I had seen the kind of speed and guts she possessed when I had chased her, not that I did not completely trust my men, but I just wanted to make sure."No alpha Moses, there is no way she wo
