"Please... ", I croaked when I noticed that he was damn serious. He smirked eerily in response , pleaded beyond words. Tears leaked out of my eyes in rivulets on my cold and swollen cheeks. While l was in angony he was enjoying it with every delayed beat of my heart. "I can kill you right now", Soon enough the sound of my choking filled up the air when he lifted me up off of my feet.
My legs dangled off of the floor by more than a foot. Something l used to watch in movies was happening to me. This was going to happen fast just like l lost my baby. Soon l felt my eyes roll at the back of my head. Resisting death wasn't possible and it was painful. He chuckled again at the pathetic squeaks and gasps coming from my tightened throat.It was deafenig in my ears and l knew it, l was going to die. There was no point in denying it now. "I do have to revenge", At the grim thought my lips pinched tightly together. I kicked my leg forwards kicking him in between his legs but he didn't seem affected. I kicked in the position where l knew that he would feel pain but it was all useless.I stopped and tried to concentrate again but l couldn't hear anything more other than the sound of my stuttering heart beat pounding in my ear along with the sound of my roaring blood. My hands were clutched tightly around his right arm while my face felt numb and hot at the same time. I felt like l would explode if he squeezed my throat any more tighter.My lower body felt numb. I could no longer feel them, l was paralysing. My hands hardened to the point that l could no long move my fingers while my nails embedded into his skin. I willed my eyes to stay open but they slowly closed. The palpitation of my heart started to also slow to a sluggish pace. My legs froze into the place as l felt the torrents of pain and coldness enter my frozen muscles.
Bright lights blinded my vision with sporadic patterns when I felt my air flow being sufficiently cut off. No matter how hard l tried to breathe, l was done. I was going to die without a good memory in my head. The only thing I had in my head was that I was betrayed by my husband and sister. The excruciating pain finally eased when l felt darkness correct at the corners of my vision. This was the end of me."Stop Mark, Alpha Damien wants her alive", Just as he was finishing me, someone shouted but he shockingly didn't move even an inch."Let her go right now, you will end up having trouble", he shouted loudly and that caused him to loosen his hold on my poor throat. His grip slackened and my entire body crumbled to the forest floor with a loud thud. Sides burning and numb gagging for air, l felt bile rise up to my throat and my head spinned uncontrollably in a dizzying circle ."This wouldn't have happened if you had done what I had told you",He murmured and just like that the meal he had served me few minutes ago poured out of my mouth. It was bitter and disgusting as l puked it all over myself. My body trembled as if l was having a seizure. My eyes burned against my cold face mixing into the snot and saliva. I bent over and continued to heave until I felt my insides empty.My hair hung around my face completely covered in the disgusting substance that came out of my mouth until the scent was everywhere around me. When I finally raised up my head, the so called Mark was staring down at me with a amazed look on his face . " What is it ?", I inwardly asked myself before my eyes staring at him clearly . I realized later that he had a big chunk of hair in his hands hanging from his curled up fist. I was shocked at the sight . My hair was so long and that had to happen."Poor you, you loosing everything",He chuckled. " Wait!, you puking", His eyes glowed brightly almost red when he bent down to my level. Dangerous nails scraped my cheeks and he gripped my face harshly then yanked it up . My vision blurred from unshed tears when he harshly shoved the hair off my face." SHE HAS THE MARK ", Just as he was roughly pulling the torn hoodie from my body, l heard someone say in a surprised voice. "Mark?, How is that possible?", They all walked towards me. I didn't know what they were talking about but they all seemed shocked. "It's glowing, we need to take her to the Alpha",My blood froze at that."How the hell did the moon goddess end up giving a mark to someone ugly like her, goodness she just had miscarriage",Mark growled as he pulled my chin up. Though l didn't know what they were talking about, l wasn't annoyed when Mark looked at me with disgust. Ignoring the fact that I had blood dried up in between my legs, my face was also covered up in vomit." The Alpha is gonna sort it out but l feel pity for him ",One said. "Of course he isn't going to accept her", Mark snarled. " Please.... don't ... take...me", Tears were again forming in my eyes when I thought about meeting the so called Alpha. " It would be better if you don't piss me off ", Mark growled as he slowly dragged me. I just cried in response.My legs were currently in serious pain. I must have sprained an ankle or two as l was running but he didn't care. " Should l kill myself before they do ?", I instantly asked myself but trembled at the thought. I wasn't even capable of doing that. I have never harmed myself even when I was being mistreated by my husband.They dragged me for a couple of hours until when they lastly halted. " You said you saw the mark ", The bulky man came and said in a voice that was menacing and dark. "We all saw the mark", l trembled when l heard the men answer in unison."First take her in the dungeon as Alpha Damien comes",My heart beat stopped for a second when I heard that.The room that l was dragged in just had a bed and a tiny square window with metal bars. Another empty bed was on top of mine. Weak and exhausted, l just collapsed down on the bed.The door soon creaked open . l quickly turned my eyes towards it with my heart pounding in my chest. I didn't want to be dragged anywhere else. Just as l was waiting , a girl quickly entered and closed the door behind her rapidly as if she didn't want to get caught . She was hiding something under her apron.She breathed out when her eyes met mine. " You the new slave , right ?", She asked while ruffling under her apron. Not interested, l just ignored her. "Huh! It's fine if you don't want to talk", She shrugged her shoulders then got a crumble piece of bread and a slice of cheese. "We not allowed to bring food in here but I managed to sneak this in , figured you will be hungry", She murmured a bit faster then handed it to me."Am not hungry", l croaked. "Oh .... ", she looked disappointed for a second but t
"So the moon goddess gave the mark to her", Walking with guards on either sides of me, l heard other slaves whisper to themselves. " Is she trying to make it harder for us, she can't be the one , l heard that she had miscarriage", Another one answered. "First stand here as we wait for the elders", The so called beta ordered when we stopped in one of rooms."I want to puke", l instantly turned when l heard one of the guards murmur. I felt like crying when my gaze fall on them. Most of them had their nose wrinkled in disgust. I was smelling and I knew it. "I don't even think l can get hard at looking at her , none that less fuck her", My left eye twitched in annoyance when l heard them continue. I couldn't do anything to them."Goddess l feel bad for Alpha Damien"."He might reject her", They went on with chatting as l silently fumed.Before l could think of an idea or even go through it , the large oak doors soon slowly opened and at that l felt all the hot air and anger deflate in not
"You right she needs to be your Surrogate ,we can't be ruled by a human Luna", I continued to freeze in my clothes as l heard the old men speak. "You need to get one of the strong she wolves and make her your Luna", The harsh man this time spoke directing the words to Damien."I already have her", He replied with his eyes on me. I shrugged my shoulders. That had nothing to do with me. "Since she is a stranger , she needs to be treated like one, the dungeon is the best place", l instantly turned my eyes to the old man who suggested that. He wanted me to stay with the slaves."Am a stranger.....let me free then", l helplessly whispered while looking up at the old man. I already had my problems and didn't want more. At my words , the man's frown instead deepened. "Take her right now ", His arrogant jaw gritted and full lips pursed into a displeased frown. His tall nose also wrinkled in disgust probably because of how bad l smelled. Immediately l inverted my gaze from him then turned it t
After the old lady walking out of the room , I slowly made my way to bathroom totally ashamed of myself. While inside the bathroom, the first thing I got was the spare toothbrush that was on the counter. I vomited few hours ago and my mouth was sour. I coated the brush excessively without minding. I groaned out when the minty flavor coated my teeth and tongue , it felt good to have some thing clean in my mouth after all those days. Never thought that a menial thing as brushing my teeth would hit me hard with such relief. Never would have thought of myself sold to werewolves too. It all happened mysteriously just like l lost my baby. After some time, l stood under the shower ,the water was warm but l groaned when it hit my sore muscles. Every part of my body was aching me.****With so much struggle l managed to open up my eyes. Squinting l turned my head only to find the bright rays of the sun streaming in through some window. Though it was already morning , my vision was still blur
"With your behavior , l might decide to chain you on the bed instead of giving you freedom", He spoke confidently. "Try it once and see, you will regret why you bought me", l hissed out. "Whatever it is but like it or not you will be underneath me by the time am done", At his exclamation my insides waterburned with extreme rage and hatred. This is what Jack also did to me and then betrayed me. "There is a ceremony taking place tonight, l want you to prepare yourself but as l mentioned before , you must always address me as sir and you must respect those who are superior to you, once you arrive at the party you gonna meet them and don't forget you only speak when spoken to", He explained while staring at me."What am l, a circus animal?", l shouted loudly with anger evidently showing in my eyes, " Am not like you ... beast whatever it is and am not going to attend it", "We thanking the moon goddess for bringing me an old whore to be my mate ", He hissed out then left. Tears streamed
"Know where you belong, am not a whore like you", Finding it unbearable to control my anger, the words furiously escaped out of my mouth. "Have you just replied to me like that", She sneered back a bit shocked."I can do more than that", l confidently hissed out."Take her right now back to her room", Damien roared at the guards. "Keep on keeping me here and you will see the worst of me", l snarled at him too before the guards dragged me away.As soon as the door was closed by the guards, l dropped down on the bed and a loud scream fall out of my mouth. This is what l really hated. "Better tell that leader of yours too let.... ",I instantly trailed off in mid sentence when the door out of the blue burst open. "So it seems as though you forgot the rules", Damien burst out as soon as he closed the door behind his back. "All you forgot was that am a human not like you beasts, l will never follow any of your rules", l was hurting and felt on the verge of the tears as I yelled at him ."
DAMIEN'S POV.I knew it that she would break at one point. I was done being the nice man . I knew it that it wouldn't be long before my inner beast took over like it always did and teach her a lesson. The only thing that kept me from ruining her before was now gone. It was time to ruin her defiance.I had no conscience or guilt whatever. And I couldn't help for the moment to wipe her defiance right off her fierce face. I wanted her to surrender completely to me and know that she was mine , the one chosen to be my mate. All l knew was that she was fucking mine. Human, miscarriage or whatever she was mine, the only person who was chosen to give birth to pups in the whole pack. At the sight of her , l minimized her but the only thing that shocked me was that she wasn't what I thought she would be. I always considered humans to be weak but she wasn't. She was the only one who had defiance in her eyes clear and sharp. She just had miscarriage, betrayed by her family but she was still so
ZOEY'S POV."Leave me alone", l screamed out as soon as the bodyguards held up my hands. "Take her to the cells", I heard Damien groan out. "Fuck you son of a bitch", l shouted as the guards dragged me towards the hallways. Just like a criminal, they dragged me mercilessly then threw me into a dark room.It was a round room with chains hanging on the wall. With angry growls, they quickly chained my wrists . They walked out after and closed the door behind their backs. A few minutes went by before l heard keys turning into the lock. Shockingly that was accompanied by whines and cries from a girl on the other side .The door flew open and someone threw a tiny figure in the room. She landed on the floor and l gasped in disbelief. "Dr Tracy", l gasped out and then I quickly slid my hands from the hoops and crawled quickly to where she was . She lifted her head slowly towards me, surprisingly she had a busted lip and a pink cheek."Oh my god Zoey ", she threw herself into my arms. " You al
"No, no, no", Vandeer began shrieking and in front of my eyes, I saw her begin to rapidly age. Her skin wrinkled and her hair turned white before falling from her scalp. "Ahh!", She shrieked once more and black smoke poured from her mouth and shot out in my direction. The power of gods responded quickly and more of the blinding white fire spewed from my mouth.Black met white in the air and a Sonic boom sounded over the island as the two magical forces clashed. That blinding light flowing from the gods through me and against the necromancer was blinding hot. Even my vision blurred as this force left my mouth. It got hotter and stronger.The core of the light began turning a pale blue, showing that it was increasing in heat. Blue flames always are hotter than white and that pale blue was leaving my body and blasting against the darkness. Vandeer's shadows were stripped away and the blue flames devoured her aging body.It blasted through her and into the ground, pulverizing her aging sk
I held my breath as l watched Damien continue to race in the necromancer's direction, mindingless about the weapon the wicked necromancer had. When the dagger was in reach, Damien flung out his hand and slapped the danger away from her. Vandeer's face curled into a disgusting snarl but quickly Damien wrapped up his hands around her throat.One of her hands went to his wrists as he strangled her. Just as l watched, l realized late that her free hand was making unfamiliar signs. With a flick of her wrist, the smoke dagger that was flying away jerked to a halt and rerouted in the air until it was flying back in their direction."No", The scream left my lips too late.The dagger rocketed through the air with a sickening thud and lodged itself in Damien's back.Damien's body went still. His hands loosened from around Vandeer's throat and in that moment, a wide grin spread across her lips, peeling her lips back to reveal her grotesque teeth. I watched as Damien stumbled back from her with t
"Zoey l hate begging but if you need me to get down on my knees and plead with you to go then l will do it. I won't be able to focus on what is coming with you here", Damien's voice pulled me out of my reverie."But it's you who said that am your mate and as a Luna l should always be on your side. Why can't I stay with you right now?, ... I don't want to leave you, l know how weak the wolfsbane made you become", My voice cracked at the end and tears threatened to spill as l rested my head on Damien's chest, gripping him tighter as if he was my lifetime."You right Zoey. I know but am sorry. I don't want to put my babies lives in danger", His hands cradled my face and his thumb wiped away a stray tear on my cheek before lowering to trace my bottom chapped lip. "There's nothing to forgive", I stood on the tips to kiss him gently but he pushed our lips harder together in a passionate kiss that took my breath away."There are boats on the shore . For now l just want you to get away from t
Damien was here but his clothing was torn in some places from the crash but overall, he seemed perfectly alright and my heart soared. Heat coursed through my core at the sight of the absolute rage and fury etched across his face. His power and dominance radiated around him and the sight of his murderous intent directed at his evil brother made me want to fall in his arms.Damien was here. He had come for me , for us. My hand hovered over my stomach and in that moment some of the power of ice drifted away. That was enough for my head to clear of the powerful magic consuming my body and soul. The other half of my soul was here and just the sight of him slowly returned me to warmth.To light and love.He walked with determination in each stride as he trudged through the ice and snow in his path. Damien's strength in the face of magic powered storm was awe-inspiring and desire momentarily clouded my mind. He had a look of shock on his face. I had a feeling that he didn't believe that it w
My skin was crawling as the necromancer spoke of the past and the insanity that led to this situation. "My visions led me to you. After the bastards winning the war, those foolish Werewolves cast me aside. Even though they did that to me, l didn't stop helping them. I still had a thought that one of my best strong witches will be mated to one the feared Alphas but still the moon goddess chose you", This time she spat on the ground in front of me."You don't even know how to use magic, you're pathetic, you would have been dead but this sick bast....","Hey it's your fault, l tried my level best to get her out of the country", Brian pointed a shaking finger at Vandeer with a low growl. "Whatever. She is still alive", Vandeer waved off Brian's anger as she put the blame of their previously failed plan on him. "Missed opportunities lead to new ones, let's forget the past", The necromancer shrugged and crossed her arms before looking in my way again."Damien killed my mate and l won't hesi
ZOEY'S POV.We both turned out gaze to the door as it suddenly groaned under the weight of itself as someone pushed it open. "That will be her now", Brian stood from where he was hunched in front of me then went to greet the woman entering in the cell room. A slender woman with straight inky black hair swept into the room as if she moved with air.She adorned her body with a floor length black dress that cascaded around her legs. My eyes traveled up to the leather harness around her chest that resembled the shape of a pentagram and emphasized her breasts. She covered herself in several pieces of jewelry that varied with different colored stones and minerals that held each their own magical glow.I looked up at her face, thinking that she was perhaps beautiful just like the outfit she had dressed up but hell no l was wrong. She was hardly more than a skeleton clinging to it's translucent flesh.But her eyes were the worst. There was no white in her eyes, only darkness like a swirling p
ZOEY'S POV."What do you want from me?", My voice left me almost inaudible as l questioned Brian. It was now three days ever since he captured me. My last conversation with him left me annoyed and l cursed as he walked out of my cell. Throughout the days, I was fed like a prisoner and l didn't hear anything from Zara, whenever I asked Brian he only laughed.I knew it in my heart that wherever Zara was, she was fighting hard to escape and look for me."What do you want from me Brian?, Why did you abduct me?", I asked again. This time he narrowed his eyes and that darkness inside of him made me fearful of the answer. "I thought you know it already", He hissed it in my face."I just your powers","My powers?", My eyes narrowed at him and I shook my head in disbelief. He abducted me all because he wanted the powers their moon goddess gave me. "Magic is really wonderful, didn't you feel happy when you realized that you the only Luna who was blessed with healing powers?", He asked."No", l
DAMIEN'S POV."Zoey has been taken away, let me go look for her"Zara's words echoed again in my head as l regained my conscience. As expected l was still in the cold cell. Those are the only words that kept sounding in my head ever since l was attacked - together with the Alphas of the different packs.Getting captured was something I was still finding unbelievable but the reality of damp cell fliters kept reminding me that, I was in the cell that had thick doors with wolfsbane on them. The hunters attacked us mysteriously, they didn't give us a chance to fight and currently both my wrists and ankles were chained up to the cement wall behind my back just like the others.The constant injections of wolfsbane and silver were keeping me weak and unable to break the metal chains that had trapped me for a week. Ever since we were captured, every day scientists come in and draw blood. They were experimenting on us. They captured all supernatural creatures.I didn't understand my role in he
Getting out of the building was successful for a while however just as we were turning around the corner, a gloved hand all of the sudden clamped hard on my upper arm and squeezed tight. I turned to Zara's direction but she was also being caught. She tried to scream but a gloved hand clamped around her mouth just like me.The gloves smelled like dirty leather. Oh! God, l was again abducted. This was heart breaking, l was just from fighting for my life and here l was again abducted.That wasn't enough before we could react, I watched with my blurry eyes as they jammed the needles into our necks. My last thoughts were that whatever was jammed in my neck didn't hurt my babies. Many people were after my babies. Miscarriages and being abducted was all l was fated to.***There was no way in hell l could tell how much time had passed when the fog cleared from my brain. My head was pounding as if a thousand horses were galloping through it and my throat was dry as if I hadn't had a drink in
