“Bring me the food quickly”,
I heard that ugly voice but I pretended like I didn’t hear him and went on with washing the utensils.
“You also a slut , there is no need to show off”, Out of the blue, my hair was in a tight grip and my locks were being pulled roughly.
“Slut?”,
I hated that word.
“Fuck you, son of a bitch”, I cursed before pulling away. He grabbed my arm and stopped me from running like I usually did.
“I ordered you to get me food, bitch.” He said with a tone filled with anger. I glared at the bastard angrily. He was the Beta of the Red Moon Pack whilst I was an omega-the lowest and the dirtiest in line.
That was why I was disrespected with my fellows but not today.
God! Today, I wasn’t in any mood to play games. I had enough of male wolves playing around with me and dominating me because I was an omega.
“Fuck off, I’m not your slave!”, I snapped angrily and all the omegas who were working turned to look at me with their mouth open. What I was doing was wrong. It was never good to have an argument with the Beta as that would lead to bloodshed and most of that blood would be mine but right now I didn’t care.
I was tired of being disrespected.
Omegas were treated horribly, they were slaves to the pack and the Alpha. I was born as an omega so being a slave came to me naturally but not now. When I was young, they used to force me to cook, take care of other members, clean dishes and clothes. I wasn’t allowed to take part in any pack activity as my wolf was weak- or so they claimed it to be but not today.
“You really need to be taught a lesson”, He hissed out.
“Am ready for it”, I retorted and the other omegas gasped in shock. “Be careful. I will beat the crap out of you”, He threatened. “Go on”, I retorted.
He chuckled, “Ah, such a confident female omega wolf, I haven’t seen females like you in a while. I will beat you. Omegas are all weak,” he taunted, all of his ego appearing in the grimace plastered on his face. “Bite me,”
Ugh. What a way to end a night. I will show him, the true me.
“I’m waiting”,
I ran my fingers through my hair and looked away from his face. The more I stared, the angrier I got. I wanted to strangle him. He had been the most irritating person ever since I was born and I wasn’t going to take his crap anymore.
“Rinah, don’t please”,
I heard one of the omegas speak but I ignored her. My claws instead emerged and sharpened out of my hands, I released my fist and whirled my hand over his face, however, before my claws could bruise him, he grabbed my hand and stopped me. Quickening my instincts, I buckled my knee to his crotch and he grumbled, grabbing himself and releasing my hand. I threw my leg at his stomach and with force, he flew off the kitchen doorway and crashed against the wall outside.
“What a bitch!” I heard him growl as he wiped the blood of his lips. When he raised his head, I saw red-nothing else.
When he stood up, holding his stomach and limping towards me, I backed away. Male wolves could heal quicker as they had the strength and power too. Amd secondly I was an omega.
In a flash, he was standing in front of me, and before I could use my reflexes, he threw me against the mirror with full force, causing the mirror to shatter into my back. The pain was inevitable, ongoing as the sharp shards tore my skin apart. I rolled on my stomach and bit my lip to contain the scream but some omegas were already running out of the kitchen afraid.
“Don’t ever think omegas like you can be stronger than us,” He said, pushing his boot towards my head and moving it back so I could meet his gaze. “Act like an omega and do what other omegas do,” He knelt down and spat out at me.
I didn’t reply to him. I just closed my eyes but all I saw was his blood. The fire inside me was boiling with the way this bastard had been treating me ever since I was born, not only he bruised me but he humiliated me and used words he shouldn’t have. “Calling me a weak omega”
A second later, I heard him scoff as I didn’t fight back until the last very moment. I dashed away from the ground and grabbed his throat, slamming his head against the tile, thrusting my claws inside him and drawing his blood out. His mouth hung open as he tried to choke out words but failed to do so.
“Let me tell you something, beta Steven,” My claws deepened inside his throat as I leaned beside him. “Men like you-they only know how to blabber. Don’t ever underestimate an omega like me, that’s if I let you live after this.”
“Alpha Blair will kill you if you kill me..” He coughed out.
“Do you think I give a shit about him?” Well, I did. But I didn’t want to show my weakness. I honestly feared our Alpha. He is so ruthless.
“Who don’t you give a shit about?”, I i’mmediately froze when I heard that voice.
It was the Alpha himself.
Shit! I was dead.
What was he even doing here?
“When did this fucking start in my pack?,” Alpha Blair shouted, his nostrils flaring with with anger.
“Who gave you the right to fight your beta”, He added as he grabbed my elbow and lifted me off the ground. “What the fuck was this?”
“He attacked me first,” A lie fearlessly came out of my mouth.
“Is that so, Steven?” His head turned towards Steven who was in anger as well.
“She’s lying of course. Why would I start a fight with a female omega. She started it first and then I simply fought back, couldn’t let my self die in the hands of an omega,” he replied.
"She didn't only fight me but she is so disobedient, she doesn't want to do pack duties", The beta added.
I swallowed hard as Alpha Blair’s molten gaze landed back on me. I had started it first but if it wasn’t for Steven insulting me, I wouldn’t have done any of it. Without asking me again, Alpha grabbed me by my elbow and dragged me away from the place like a rag doll.
I was dead this time and all the omegas who were outside had their hands over their mouths. They knew what was going to happen next.
“I didn’t do anything, he disrespected me and called me a slut, obviously I had to do something!” | exclaimed as Alpha Blair pushed me to the guards.
“Take that bitch to the dungeon”,
His words were the end of me.
As soon as the Alpha ordered so, the guards immediately pulled me and started dragging me to the dungeon.Their grips were so tight and my right arm throbbed with the sudden impact. The Beta’s claws had dug deep in it. I had stopped bleeding but the wound was still deep and it could open at any time.Emotionlessly they took me downstairs to the ground level of the house or what some people called-the dungeon. This was my first time to be brought here. The dungeon was large and stretched out. There was a faint scent of wolves, dried blood and other animals. Most especially rogues and omegas that are disrespectful.Just like me.The guards pushed me inside a room that was small and suffocating. I misbehaved without knowing that the cells were so small.“I don’t think you will get out of this cell alive,” One of the guards stated as he turned me around and tightened my shackles.“All this pretty face for nothing”, The guard ran his dirty fingers all over my face not knowing that I was al
“Shit!”, I groaned as I opened my eyes. My head was throbbing with pain.“Where am ......”, I froze when I looked around. I was in the cell again. Yes I knew why I was brought back again in the cell. I disrespected the Alpha himself and this time the punishment was worse.Whoever dragged me out of the Alpha’s office when I lost consciousness made sure to chain me with silver chains. They were really cutting sores into my skin and it was really paining.Just as I was still staring at the silver chains, I heard a door opening behind me. I heard the feet against the tiled floor, the tile floor that chilled my bare feet.The stupid beta stepped around directly in front of me with an evil smirk on his face.“W-What do you want?” I asked in a scratchy voice. I had barely talked after I realized that the guards here never spoke. It was pointless to waste that energy when I seemed to never have any.He chuckled and bellowed a repulsive laugh as he slapped his knee in genuine humor. After pull
I don’t know how long I have stood in the middle of the room chained up. My hands were now pulled taunt above my head causing them to ache. My fingers were tingling from lack of blood flow but I had nothing to do. The stupid beta made sure that he cut me then later came back and chained me again.Right now I could feel hunger starting to eat it’s way into my body. It was a parasite I couldn’t get rid of. The last time I ate was the day before I attacked the beta. It was probably three days now without eating anything and the beta made sure that no food was given to me.He was doing a lot of things to me but I had a feeling that he won’t kill me right now but the moment, I will be set free, I will surely deal with him.I will drag him to hell, painfully and......My thoughts immediately stopped when the door burst open.My heart stopped as an intoxicating sent of vanilla and citrus hit my nose. I didn’t even have to turn my head to see who was entering. It was the smell of my mate.Wha
I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t seem to remember how to force air in and out of my lungs as the guards drugged me out of the cell.The elders of the pack who were walking in the hallway, stopped when they saw the guards dragging me.“What is her status? What has she done?”, One of the elders asked the guards but exactly as expected, Alpha spat, “she doesn’t have any status in the pack!”, “If I may ask, what was her crime to be demoted in such a manner? This punishment is usually given to the rogues”“Is she a rogue too?”, One of the elders asked.Alpha looked down his nose at him in disdain. “She’s not your concern. She’s no one’s concern,” he sneered.“But still she looks weak and sick to be given this punishment. Get one of the disobedient omegas to save her”,His request only seemed to infuriate Alpha further. “She is also a disobedient omega and only a mate can stand in her place, and she has none.” He made a point to emphasize the last word as if I wasn’t already acutely aware th
The clock was striking to midnight and an hour had passed by since the horrific moment yet I couldn't get any sleep.I wasn't going to.I felt pain.My body felt lifeless as I lay sprawled across the pillow top mattress. Darkness surrounded me, leaving me nervous yet curious of my whereabouts. Where am I? I was in an unknown room. The only objects that I could notice was the bed and the single window which allowed a gleam of light to shine through. I looked at the moon. Its crocket smile seemed to be taunting me. My eyes brows knitted in anger.I was in pain both physically and mentally. Throughout my years of living, what Alpha ordered was the most terrific thing I had ever faced. Yes I have been getting punishments and my body heals faster but this time I felt betrayed. And it was so paining. The moment the guard put me on the bed in this room, my body started healing but mentally I wasn't. Memories were flowing in my head.Everything about the mate, the moon goddess chose for m
I didn't dream the moment I walked in the room to sleep, I didn't dream even though I wanted to but I woke up with a heavy head, an empty stomach, and a fire between my legs. Tossing and rolling was what I did for the next entire hour I was awake as l recalled everything the ruthless Alpha ordered to be done on my body.l was so weak to reject that nonsense. Wake up.I forced myself off the bed and walked over to the window. As I pulled the curtains aside, a beautiful view of the surroundings took my breath away. It wasn't bright as it was earlier. The sun was hidden behind the mountains far away from where the estate was but I could still catch a glimpse of it. The sky was in warm colors and just watching the silent beauty eased my blood urges and everything else that tensed me.Everything that tensed in me , i meant the fire between my legs. Even though I was standing it was still there.''What is wrong with me?'',l questioned myself and my reasons for a moment why I was burning b
What is worse than someone knocking on your bedroom door in the middle of your peaceful sleep? Someone banging on your door interrupting your peaceful sleep."Rinah, wake up." Amara's voice at this moment was like cat claws gliding across a chalk board. I even regretted why I allowed her to pick me up for training. "No."My eyes still closed, I could hear my bedroom door creak open. A cool draft from the halls slipped in along with the red head. Turning away as quickly as I could, I pulled the blankets over my head and ignored her plea for me to get up."It's training time. Get your ass up." Cool air nipped at my skin when she ripped the covers from me."What the fuck, what time is it?" I screeched, covering my eyes from the bedroom light she had turned on."Its six in the morning, now come on." I sat up, my eyes trained on her as I thought of a million different ways I could rip her apart.But I could not be livid with her. If I would have overslept, I would have had another confron
With a snap of his finger, I watched as Jamie got into her fighting stance, ready to strike. My hands up in defense, I watched as a smile crossed Jamie's lips. I could see how she was going to enjoy this.She charged at me, swinging her right arm in attempts to hit me in the face. Just in time, I dodged it.Her hand snapped back before her right leg lifted, connecting with my exposed rib. Such a small leg sent a powerful blow to my side before her left fist sent a viscous blow to my face.OH's and ah's escaped the crowd as I hit the ground. I wiped my mouth, checking for blood as I looked up at her. She was hopping around, a smile painted on her face from her hit.Weirdly, I found it amusing more than annoying."Again." Alpha yelled to me, urging me to stand and continue. I also enjoyed the amusement in his tone of voice.Standing to my feet, I ignored the shooting pain that sparked from my side as I stood to fight again."I will go easy on you." Jamie winked at me."Don't." I snarled
Jackson's hands moved over his heart, and a roguish smile covered his lips. "Never call it such. Daisy Dame," he laughed. "I better go fix the jukebox before Floyd gets here and starts beating it again." "He does love his music," I muttered, turning my attention to the door as it opened.Royce and Bryce, regulars at the bar, entered, shaking the snow from their jackets as they removed them. Grabbing a pitcher, I tipped it to fill for them and took the $20 bill he placed on the bar, breaking it into change for them to play pool. Once they headed off, I started mixing the drinks we'd serve for the special.People began filing in as the clock ticked on, and the music got more bois- terous. I'd finished mixing the drinks for a group of women who were slumming it, their words, not mine. Jackson worked beside me, moving through the orders for the kitchen while I focused on the drinks.I was pouring another pitcher of beer when the doors opened, and a man entered. My senses screamed in warni
BraelynStepping out of the shower, I peered around the small cramped room. It was hardly big enough to turn around in, but it was clean. We'd rented a new apartment in a high traffic area, close to work, once we'd noticed the wolves around the one Douglas had chosen for us. It would have been more dangerous to be around wolves, especially considering Saint had left me in a precarious condition.I dressed in a pair of soft, stretchy jeans and pulled the camisole top over my sensitive breasts. Turning sideways in the cramped room, I looked at the gentle swell of my belly in the mirror. It was noticeable now and hard to hide that I was pregnant. Groaning. I grabbed the sweater and slipped my arms into it, shoving my hair into a messy bun before I left the room. The stale scent of takeout food made my nose itch, hating that it wasn't the fresh food we'd had on the mountain. I missed the mountain and the protection it would have offered me in my current condition. I hated waking up every
Zayne killed the feed as I moved to grab Chaos. I didn't even know what to say to him since I wasn't able to process what I'd seen. I'd accused Braclyn of helping Harold, and she'd been his primary victim. Why hadn't she said any- thing? Why hadn't she tried to reach me with the truth?"That's why she was so sad all the time," Chaos whispered, his eyes swim- ming with unshed tears. "She tried to hide it and pretend not to be sad, but I sensed it. I caught it once when she was trying to pretend she was happy." He sniffled, and I frowned at his words.I swallowed down the sick feeling as I tried to recall Braelyn ever acting like a victim. "How the fuck did we miss this?" I asked myself, but it was Chaos who answered."You had to watch her when she didn't think you were. Fear is an emotion. and so is pain. We control our emotions, and only we allow people to see them." He handed me a phone, and I stared at it. "I saw it because she seemed sad, but she's Braelyn. She is only sad when no
Nausea washed through me, knowing exactly how much pain was involved when skinned alive. The entire room watched as Harold tossed the knife aside and spoke to the camera, with no volume, as per his usual shit. It wasn't until someone else entered the room, his face obscured by a mask, that the camera was adjusted, and the volume came to life. I didn't relish the idea of hearing her screams or reliving the tortured memories they'd bring back to life."Nothing yet? She's a different breed, Harold," the masked male an- nounced, and even though he was wearing the mask, we all knew it was Lucas."There is that sadistic fuck, Lucas. I can't believe he was under our noses all this time, and had been the one to help Harold in his torture session. But why wear the mask?" Eryx gripped his fists and shook in rage.My eyes slid back to the woman, noting her head was covered, and I was willing to bet she was probably gagged beneath the sack. It helped Harold and Lucas to dehumanize their victims.
Saint-Three Months LaterI watched Cole Van Helsing climb out of the Blackhawk helicopter, shield- ing his eyes as he moved toward me, shaking the snow from his heavy coat. Tat- tooed fingers righted the collar of his jacket, and he smiled upon seeing me. "Van Helsing," 1 announced, running my eyes over the tattoo that covered his brow and his temple to vanish into his hairline. "Kingsley, pleasure as always," Cole said in a heavily accented tone that most women would fawn over. "You are causing quite the issue for us. I hope your mate is worth it," he concluded, nodding at the other helicopters that were coming in as Cole's took off to refuel."She is, and I believe she's pregnant with my child," I announced, watching his face pinch with distaste."Seems to be in the water lately," he grumbled. "Someone needs to invent some immortal-proof birth control.""You too, huh?" I asked."No, not me." he said in a tone filled with anger. "Rhys is going to be a daddy, but he's rejected his mat
"You should run until you reach the furthest exit. It should have anyone trailing Braelyn's scent on your tail while we head in the opposite direction. They aren't expecting her to go through the river, and the rafts will make it near impossible for Saint to catch her scent on the wind. Once you get to the end of the tunnel, Tyler, get on the bike and toss the nightgown over the cliffside. It should have them searching for her until nightfall, leaving us enough time to put some distance between them and us." Douglas dropped the nightgown into Tyler's hand, watching as he took one last long, heated glance at Tora, who smirked wickedly at his interest. "Go, you two can hook up much later once we're off this cursed mountain. The snow is coming, and once it does, we'll be easier to track."We watched Tyler vanish into one of the many caves. Douglas sprinkled the pepper over the entrance of others, including a light dusting at the one where Tyler had disappeared. Moving to where Tora and I
I'd dressed in a soft pair of jeans and flat, leather, thigh-high boots with multiple buckles covering the top of the leather, curving and hugging my calves. The jacket I'd chosen was army green, with soft fur lining that heated against my arms. Tugging the jacket up tighter, I zipped it while walking the perimeter of the courtyard with Phenrys, my unlucky babysitter for the day.He was silent and vigilant as we moved through the mostly empty yard. I paused, inhaling the crisp air that threatened snow as it stung against my nose and cheeks. "It's cold as shit out here," he grumbled, rubbing his hands together while studying the way I moved. "We're going back inside momentarily because I'm over the cold.""I need to light the candles inside my mother's crypt. They've been ne- glected, and I'd like to do so before we go back inside."Phenrys dropped his head, rolling it back to look at me before sliding his gaze to the crypt that sat a few yards away from the newly built ad-on. Nodding,
"Oh, this will be fun." I turned back to him, noticing how his eyes skimmed over my bare skin."Hey, they're at least excited to meet you from what he told me. But there are other Alpha's in the city and the meetings with them aren't going as smoothly without me. They're on edge, and some of them might be secretly against me. There's a lot going on.""Something is always happening in the world. They just all seem to be happening to us right now." I gave him the closest thing I could to a comforting smile, one that wasn't a mask. I needed to be real with him. "Luckily, we can handle your wolves with little interference.""Our wolves, you mean." He corrected and my brow pinched together. "We're mated now, officially. You bear my mark and I'm the Alpha. That makes you their Luna by wolf law."I rose from the bed, setting my feet on the cold floor and closing my eyes as I steadied myself. "Apollo, there's still a chance we won't make it out of here alive. The wolves, that's easy in my min
Saint climbed into bed, naked. He didn't move the pillows, choosing to slide beneath the covers. Before I could guess what Saint intended, he'd yanked on the blanket, lifting it, sending all the pillows shooting into the air, raining down around the bed. He pounced, capturing my wrists above my head, smiling down at me.“No more walls, woman. You and me, we have to figure out a balance so that we can live together. I know you're struggling because I can feel your turmoil through the link. I can feel your need to run, to escape me, and that isn't happening. I know you, Brae. I know you because you live within in me, inside my fucking soul.""If you really knew me, Saint, you'd know I would never be involved in anything that would hurt this pack." I whispered, struggling to get out from beneath him.He allowed me to wiggle from his grip as he settled in beside me. His attention moved over my face before he softly exhaled. "At night, when they'd put us back into our cells. I dreamed of y
