CHAPTER ONE

 ALPHA KING EDEN

“You are nothing but a weak slave girl sold to me by your father.” He looked at the girl kneeling before him in his palace.

  He looked at her from head to toes, his eyes caught her golden eyes and auburn hair. She's beautiful, he thought. She would be good for his sexual desires.

“Go to my room and undress or do you want me to undress you here?” he ordered. Everyone in the room started laughing.

                            SARA

She was scared as she looked at the man before her. She got up to walk to the Alpha’s room.

“ Hold on! Everyone out!” He ordered.

Whispers filled the air as everyone in the throne room started walking out. Once the last person left, the door was shut.

“Undress now!” He ordered.

Sara stood there shaking in disbelief.

“ You would be punished for making me repeat myself, I said undress now!” He ordered again with a loud voice.

With a shaky hand, she nodded and started undressing. His eyes were on her in disgust.

She took off her clothes and lowered her head in shame.

“Turn around.” He ordered.

She slowly turned around with her back facing him.

“You look ugly, who gave you these scars.” He asked in disgust.

“My father.” She replied.

“I see! He’s worse than me. It's a pity because you can’t be saved.”He laughed wickedly.

He turned her around, facing him “ You can’t escape from me, I’m your new worst nightmare. No one escapes from the Alpha king.” He smirked.

                       A  DAY BEFORE 

                             SARA

I screamed as I felt my hair being pulled. I tried to reach for the person pulling my hair but I couldn’t “ why am I so weak?” I said to myself.

“Use the other whip, she’s not crying.” A voice said.

“Let’s see if you would not scream this time.” Said another voice.

The whip landed on my back. I held it in. I wasn’t planning on showing how weak I was. I will never show my weakness.

I felt the whip coming again. I bit my lips so hard, I could feel the metal taste of blood.I felt my vision blurred. I was trying to stay awake.

“ Enough! Lock her up.” Said the male voice.

I was pushed into the cell, the floor was watery with water and blood. My hands were shaking. I was so weak.

Finally, I let the tears flow. I was wondering why life has been so unfair to me. Why was I born to encounter this pain and suffering?

I was born an unlucky girl, my family hated me. A girl who was cursed by someone that hated my father.

I was locked up in a cell, that is also my room. I sighed and took my clothes off and headed for the bathroom.

I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror, I gasped. I look horrible. My body was covered with bruises, both new and old.

I stepped into the shower and turned on the faucet. Cold water poured on my fresh wounds causing me to cry harder.

“ Why me?” I sobbed.

Suddenly there was a knock at my room door. I became scared, thinking my father’s servants are back to punish me more.

“ c…come in.” I stuttered.

A teenage girl walked in. Her name is Mira. She always sneaks in to give me food and attends to my wounds.

“ Why are you here? You would be punished if you were caught.” I begged.

“My princess, I’m not leaving.” She smiled.

She’s the only one that acknowledges me as a princess. I’m a princess that lives worse than a slave in my fathers palace’s .

“Allow me.” She said, grabbing a medical box. She treated my wounds and covered them.

“Rest, I would sneak in something for you to eat.” She said,

I thanked her with a warm smile and she left.

My wicked father, Alpha Alfred of the Nightwalker pack offended someone . The witch took revenge by cursing one of his children and I was the unlucky one.

The witch did not only curse me but killed the love of his life.My mother. Anytime my father gets angry, he takes it out on me.

Everyone in the palace hates me. They sees me as the cursed one. No one talked to me or looked at me. Not even my twin sister Claire. She hates me too. On several occasions, she has tried to kill me.

I’m determined to look for freedom and live my remaining lives well.

The next day, I woke up and did my usual routine,Sitting at my window and looking at people coming and going in the pack ground.I leaned my head at my window thinking about my miserable life.

There was a knock at my door.

“ Who is it?” I asked.

The door burst open, almost removing the door. I sat up scared.

“ Your presence is needed at the Alpha’s throne room.”The maid scoffed in disgust.

I was surprised to see that other maids walked into my room and tore the dress I was wearing, she gave me a new dress and shoe.

Once the maids were done with the final touches. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing an uncomfortable corset dress.

“The Alpha asked for you to be present, just you only. Are we clear? The first maid asked.

“Yes.” I said lowering my head.

“ Good. Let’s go.” She ordered.

My room was located on the outskirts of the palace. Anyone barely comes there because it was the ugliest part of the palace.

As we walk to the Alpha’s throne room. We met people on the way.They were murmuring and calling me names.

I smiled. I couldn’t let their words get to me.We stopped at the entrance.

“ Remember to behave well if you don’t want to get punished.” The Maid said.

I nodded and opened the huge door of the throne room. People were inside and laughing. Noticing me, they all kept quiet. Disgust was all over their eyes.

My father, Alpha Alfred was on his throne,he watched me with disgust and hatred as I walked towards him.

“O hail my Alpha, the ruler of the Nightwalker pack.” I said bowing my head in respect.

“ You may rise,” My father said with disgust. I was wondering why he hated me so much.

“I summoned you here because I have good news for you.” He announced.

I wondered what good news was, it couldn’t be anything good because this man hates my existence.

“You have been married to Alpha king Eden of the moonstone pack.” he smirked.

“What?” The word left my mouth before I realized I’m not supposed to talk before my father.

I wasn’t surprised he would marry me off to a ruthless king. Stories about the atrocities of Alpha king Eden have spread around our pack. I have heard the maids talk about him. Now I'm going to be his wife?

“Be prepared to be taken to the Moonstone pack, you now belong to them.” He said irritatedly.

“I would have beaten and locked you up for talking, when you were not asked to talk but I don’t want  to leave scars on you, to your husband.” He said rising from his throne.

“I’m happy I’m leaving you, where could be worse than this pack? Everyone here hates me.” I said turning to the people in the room.

I ran to my room crying. I couldn’t wait to leave this pack of pains and torture. I got to my room and walked into my bathroom to wash my face.

I looked at myself in the mirror, My eyes were swollen from the tears that had been flowing from my face as I stood there and listened to the words from my father.

“This is my freedom, the freedom I have been looking for.” I muttered to myself.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on my door. The maids from earlier,walked in.

“Get ready,you are leaving now for the Moonstone pack.” She scoffed.

They packed up the little belongings I had and dragged me outside.

A chariot was packed outside waiting. I jumped into the chariot and put my small luggage inside.

I looked at the palace one last time. “ I will be back to take revenge,for now this is my freedom.” 

I sighed and watched as the Nightwalker pack vanished from my sight as we headed to my new prison.

“We have arrived, Princess..” Said the charioteer.

“Thank you.” I said anxiously.

I came down from the chariot, the sight before me was enticing.The palace at Moonstone pack reflects power and wealth, featuring ornate detailing and intricate carvings.

I looked around, there were manicured gardens and cleaned water fountains.

“Welcome, I'm the head maid, Gloria.please follow me.” said a mean looking lady, i didn't see earlier.

I followed her into the palace. Beautiful paintings and carvings were all over the palace walls, and also wolf drawings on the wall, of course I was  in a werewolf pack. We came to a stop in front of a huge door.

“This is where the Alpha is, remember to be respectful and do whatever he says.” She said with a sigh and pity looks.

I nodded but before I could open the door, I heard a loud angry voice, yelling and shouting.

I became scared I didn’t know what was going on. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. 

I opened my eyes when I heard footsteps coming from the room. A young lady came out crying, her dress was torn, her hair was messy.There were fresh claw marks on her body.

She came to a stop in front of me, she looked at me and shook her head. She walked away sobbing.

THIS IS MY NEW HELL, I said to myself.
