“Take her to the Alpha’s office. He wants to see the whore we had been fucking chasing for three years.” The second time I woke up, I realised late that I was being dragged out of the cell towards the Alpha Kane’s office.
The frantic fear pulsed like a living thing inside me as the guard dragged me inside the room. I was shaken and terrified yet the fear gave me courage -courage I had never seen before. The guard twisted his fingers and pushed me down to a kneeling position. My dirty, tangled hair fell in front of me as I closed my eyes shut immediately and prayed for my life.
“Raise her head. I want to see her face,” I heard the Alpha speak.
The guard grabbed my hair and pulled it up until I did come face to face with the Alpha.
As soon as my gaze locked with his, I felt full. I maintained the struggle within me and didn’t flinch at his sight but I couldn’t control what I was feeling in between my legs. My mate!
It was unbelievable but he was mine, and I was his. We were mates.
I was mated to him. My wolf was already getting excited.
He also realised it because out of the blue his gorgeous blue eyes turned dark then he started to fume with anger.
“Let her go and leave”, He snapped at the guards and the beta then he approached me with his jaws clenched with anger.
As soon as they walked out, he approached me i’mmediately but with his jaws clenched with anger.
The room fell silent as the last of the guards left, and I was left alone with him. I could feel the weight of his presence, his dominance filling the space between us, making it suffocating. The Alpha was closer now, his eyes never leaving mine. There was a strange intensity in his gaze—one I couldn’t quite place.
My pulse quickened, my heart a loud drum in my chest, and yet I didn’t dare move. Every part of me screamed to run, to escape, but I couldn’t. His very presence was magnetic, pulling me in, making my body betray my thoughts. I could feel his gaze drop from my face to the rest of me, lingering on the ragged clothes that clung to my body, the dirt and grime that had accumulated over years of running.
“Never in my life did I think that the moon goddess will curse me with a rogue to be my mate” , He spoke more to himself but with his glare lingering on my dirty body.
“I won’t reject you. You’re going to be useful, rogue,” he murmured, his voice dangerously soft. “One way or another.”
Before I could spit out a retort, his hand shot out and grabbed my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. “I’m gonna let you live in my pack for the sake of my pack, I need a heir and you will do well as my breeder”,
The words hit me like a slap, cold and biting. As a breeder?!. The way he said it.
I felt like I was nothing, like I will never be something in his life more than a breeder. It immediately sent a searing pain through my chest. The bond that connected us, the undeniable force pulling me toward him, now felt like a cruel twist of fate.
I wanted to respond, to lash out at him for his words, for the way he dismissed me so easily. But I couldn’t. My breath caught in my throat, and I felt the sting of his rejection deep in my bones. My wolf, the part of me that shared this bond, whimpered at his words. We were mates—how could he degrade me like this?
“I’m not just a breeder,” I said, my voice trembling with a mixture of hurt and anger. “You don’t get to define me like that.”
His eyes flashed with something dark, something possessive, but it only made the pain deeper. The way he looked at me, the raw emotion that flickered behind his gaze, almost made me forget the venom in his words. Almost.
“You are mine,” He snarled, his voice low and filled with frustration. “And whether you like it or not, that’s what you’ll be. I’ll make sure of it.”
The room felt like it was closing in around me, the weight of his words pressing against my chest. I wanted to fight back, to stand up for myself, but it felt like there was no winning in this. The bond between us, the connection I could no longer ignore, made it almost impossible to stand my ground.
“I won’t be your prisoner,” I whispered, my hands shaking, trying to hold onto some semblance of control.
He stepped more closer, his gaze never leaving mine. “You won’t have a choice,” he growled, his tone cold and final. “You are my mate. You’ll bear my children. You’ll submit.”
A wave of defiance rose within me, stronger than the fear that gripped my heart. No matter what he said, no matter how he tried to control me, I would never be just what he wanted me to be. I was more than that.
“I don’t care about your power,” I said through gritted teeth. “I will never submit to you like that. Not now. Not ever.”
The Alpha’s jaw clenched, his nostrils flaring as if he was trying to control the storm brewing inside of him. His fists tightened at his sides, and I could see the struggle within him. But his pride, his desire to dominate, was stronger than anything else.
“You’ll learn to accept your place,” he muttered, stepping even closer until I could feel the heat of his body radiating against mine. “Whether you want to or not.”
The bond between us surged once again, undeniable, fierce. But even with that force pulling me toward him, I refused to back down. I might be his mate, but I would not be his to command.
Not without a fight.
“You think you can make me submit just because of this bond?” I asked, my voice shaking, but there was strength in it, a stubbornness that even I hadn’t known I possessed.
“Watch and see”, He walked away from me then went back to his table.
“Come for her”, He added then the guards immediately entered in the room. “Take her to whorehouse”, He spoke as the guards gripped my hands.
“Whorehouse?”, I froze immediately.
“Don’t try to make any surprising moves,” The guard who was ordered to take me to the whore house warned while grabbing my wrist and started to drag me out of the Alpha’s office. “Who told you that am gonna do it”, I hissed out. I had chains all over my hands but I was hissing out.“She smells, goodness”, One of the men who were walking behind us murmured. “And whose fault is it?, bastard”, I snapped at him.“Watch your language, bitch”, The bastard out of the blue pulled my hair from behind and a scream escaped out of my mouth.“Good that you have reached in this house, that’s the way you gonna start screaming beneath us”, The one who had his grip on my wrist said with a smirk on his face.I didn’t respond, I just had my eyes on the house.The furnishing was reddish brown and everything was open. There were two girls seated on the sofa’s, a drink in their hands while a robe was around their bodies. Upon hearing us, they turned and instantly peered at me.“Who’s she?” One of the ladie
The sound of footsteps approaching broke my concentration, and I stiffened. The door opened, and another girl, I hadn’t seen yet entered her eyes scanning me with an almost calculating expression.“Oh, God! Are you the new whore?” She asked, her eyes fixed on me like I was some kind of curiosity. I didn’t reply. Her gaze lingered as she started walking toward me.“You haven’t showered, have you? Goodness, you smell like rot,” she muttered, her tone dripping with disgust. Still, I ignored her.She sighed and shrugged, undeterred by my silence. “Fine, don’t talk. But the rumors are already spreading-about how the new whore the Alpha rejected”My chest tightened at her words, but I held my ground. Finally, I spoke, my voice hoarse and cold. “And do you think I give a damn about that?”She snorted, a dry laugh escaping her lips. “I don’t give a damn either, but being rejected hurts like hell,” she said, heading toward the closet.“Anyways I didn’t expect you to still be standing,” she rem
The door suddenly rattled, jolting me from my panicked thoughts. My grip tightened on the knife, my heart hammering in my chest as I pressed myself against the wall beside the door. The knob twisted, the sound of keys jingling faintly. Someone was coming in.I held my breath, every muscle in my body tense. The door creaked open, and a shadow fell across the floor. A deep, gravelly voice spoke, low and commanding. "I know you're in here. Come out quietly, and I might go easy on you."The air felt heavy, suffocating, as I stayed rooted to my spot. He took a step into the room, his boots thudding against the worn floorboards. His scent hit me—a mix of alcohol and something primal, something dangerous."Don’t make this harder than it needs to be, the Alpha sent you here in the whorehouse for us to use you" he said, his tone dripping with menace.I clenched the knife so tightly that the rusted edges bit into my palm. If I had to fight, I would. I wouldn’t go down without a fight. Slowly, h
I sat there for a moment longer, trembling but resolute, as the adrenaline coursing through me began to ebb. My mind was a battlefield of fear and determination. If they thought I was going to quietly accept this fate, they were wrong.I stood and surveyed the room again, searching for anything I might have missed earlier. The dresser had yielded the knife, but it didn’t hold much else—a few scraps of fabric and some tarnished trinkets that wouldn’t help me. My eyes darted toward the vent near the ceiling.It was small—too small for me to fit through—but the screws holding it in place were rusted. If I could open it, maybe I could use it to listen, to learn the patterns of the guards or where they kept the keys. I dragged the chair from the corner of the room over to the vent and climbed up, knife in hand.The blade slipped a few times against the stubborn screws, but eventually, I managed to loosen one. Then another. The metal grille creaked as I pulled it free, revealing the dark tu
When Alpha Kane moved more closer, the knife trembled in my hand, but I didn't let it drop. My chest heaved as I stood my ground, glaring at Alpha Kane. His eyes bore into mine, sharp and calculating, as though he was deciding whether I was worth the effort of subduing or breaking."I won't go back," I growled, my voice shaking but determined. "I'll fight until my last breath before I let you or anyone else control me."His smile faded, replaced by a cold, stoic mask. "You're brave," he said flatly, his tone devoid of emotion. "Braver than most. But bravery doesn't mean much here." He stepped forward, and I instinctively took a step back, only to feel the solid presence of the guards closing in behind me."Stay back!" I shouted, thrusting the knife out in front of me. "I swear I'II-""You'll what?" Kane interrupted, his voice laced with a chilling calm. "Kill me? Stab a guard? Run?" He shook his head, almost pityingly. "You're playing a dangerous game. Do you even know what you're up
The heavy door shut behind me with a resounding thud, and I was once again surrounded by the cold, sterile corridors of this hellish place. The guards didn’t say a word as they led me back to my room. The silence between us was suffocating, thick with unspoken threats. I tried not to meet their eyes, keeping my gaze fixed ahead, my thoughts racing.What did Kane want from me? The offer of comfort and luxury was a trap, I knew that. A way to break me without having to lift a finger. But the way he had spoken—calm, controlled, with that unsettling hint of curiosity—made me wonder if there was something more behind it. I couldn’t let my guard down, not even for a second.When we reached my room, the guards shoved me inside, and I stumbled forward, barely catching myself against the doorframe. They didn’t even lock it behind them. I was left alone again, and the silence in the room felt like a weight pressing down on me.I paced the small space, my mind racing, trying to process everything
The bed sheet was snatched from my body and coldness seeped through my whole body. I felt anger flow through my body but, I ignored it and went on with sleeping." Wake up , wake up", Jane screamed way to loud for my liking. My eyes took so long to open and notice it was already morning. I didn't even remember falling asleep. With no word said ,I sat up on the bed . I was feeling dizzy and my stomach pain was lingering."Am warning you", She started when l failed to sit up. "If you don't get up before else does , nothing will go well for you , you the one who said that you want to shower ,we can only use the bathroom when other slaves are asleep",she said and at that l forced myself up. "Unfortunately I currently have no cloth, they are all short ",She went on."It's fine", l said in a low voice as l stood up. I didn't only have stomach pain but also every muscle in my body twitched in pain . The bones in my back cracked and a faint pang hammered inside of me. I was so hungry."Where
"We chased you for 3 years, you thought you a hero, look here you're", As soon the beta left, one of the guards started and others laughed."You a cursed rogue, imagine being rejected by your own mate","He even decided to make you a pack's slave","Can you keep quiet, I want to do my work in peace", l said in a calm voice. One of them annoyingly laughed as if it was funny. "Look at you, you still have that back bone even after being rejected your own mate", He slammed his hands on the wall above me."Riddle me this , rogue, why are you still alive?", He asked and my brows furrowed. "How are you pulling his strings, we don't want a rogue to be our luna", I remained silent and felt him get angry. He quickly reached out and grabbed my chin roughly then made me look up at him. His nails were digging in my cheeks but I didn't wince."Why is Alpha Kade so easy on you?", He asked again but still l didn't respond to him.What did he even mean by easy on me?!"We are going Herbert are you com
The next few days passed in a strange quietness, a calmness that I hadn’t expected after everything that had happened. During the day, I trained alongside the pack, pushing myself further than before. Kade’s presence, though still looming in the background, wasn’t as oppressive as it had been. There was a quiet understanding now—a shift in the way he looked at me. He wasn’t constantly hovering, scrutinizing my every move, but I knew that he was watching from the sidelines, waiting to see if I would keep my word.Training felt different. It wasn’t just about proving myself to the pack anymore. It was about proving it to myself. I focused more than ever, growing stronger each day, each sparring match, and feeling my body begin to adapt to the intensity of the training. There were no more whispers of doubt in my mind, no more insecurities about my place here. I was earning my place, step by step.At night, things remained just as peaceful. Kade didn’t come to my room again, and for that,
The training dragged on, but I refused to let exhaustion slow me down. Kade's gaze seemed to follow me with every movement, sharp and calculating, as though he were cataloging my every flaw. He didn’t pair with me again after the initial spar, but his presence loomed over me, pushing me harder than I thought possible.By the time the session ended, my muscles felt like they were made of lead. The pack dispersed slowly, some offering me lingering looks, others ignoring me entirely. I stayed behind, leaning against a wooden post to catch my breath.“You held your own today.”The voice startled me. I turned to see Torren standing a few feet away, arms crossed, his smirk less mocking this time.“Barely,” I muttered, wiping the sweat from my brow.“Barely’s better than nothing,” he said with a shrug. “Most don’t land a hit on Kade their first time sparring. You’ve got potential.”His words, while backhanded, felt oddly like praise. I narrowed my eyes at him. “Why does it sound like there’s
The morning came too soon. A soft beam of sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. My body felt heavy, as though the exhaustion of the previous day had embedded itself deep into my bones. I blinked groggily, disoriented by the unfamiliar warmth cocooning me.And then it hit me.Kade.My heart lurched, and I instinctively jerked back, only to find that the source of warmth was no longer lying beside me. The bed was empty, the sheets on his side rumpled but cold. I let out a shaky breath, a mixture of relief and confusion washing over me.Had he left? Why hadn’t I woken up when he did? The thought that I’d slept so soundly in his presence both unnerved and irritated me.I pushed myself upright, clutching the blanket to my chest as I scanned the room. The bathroom door was closed, but I didn’t hear the sound of running water. My gaze darted to the small desk near the window, where a folded piece of paper caught my eye.Curiosity tugged at me, and I s
The rest of the day blurred into a haze of exhaustion. Training with the pack wasn’t just physical; it was mental, a constant test of endurance and focus. The wolves pushed me relentlessly, their disdain obvious in their sneers and muttered comments. I didn’t care. Every blow I blocked, every hit I landed, was another small victory, another step closer to proving I didn’t belong at the bottom of their hierarchy.By the time the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in streaks of red and gold, my body felt like it had been put through a meat grinder. I limped back to my room, muscles screaming in protest with every step. The clean, sterile space greeted me with an emptiness that felt heavier than before.I made my way to the bathroom.I started the shower, and peacefully washed my body. Everything was well and I took my time while showering but everything changed i'mmediately when I opened the bathroom door to get out.My eyes instantly fall on the bastard who was seated on th
The room felt colder after Kade left, his presence lingering like a shadow I couldn’t shake. His words swirled in my head, heavy with implications I couldn’t unravel. You’re asking questions you don’t want the answers to. The truth. That’s what I wanted, but was it what I needed? What could possibly be so dangerous about knowing the truth?I leaned back against the bedpost, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts refusing to settle. Kade is well known as brute, a man who ruled through fear and dominance, yet through out this day, something about him felt... different. Like he wasn’t entirely the monster I’d painted him to be.That thought made me angrier than it should have.I stood abruptly, needing to move, to do something. My room, though bigger than the one I’d been thrown into when I first arrived, still felt like a prison. The clean walls, the soft bed, the untouched clothes—it was all a farce. A pretty cage was still a cage.And there was nothing to do in the room.Tomorrow, he sai
As I walked back to my room, my mind raced with confusion and anger. Kade's sudden shift in tone had left me reeling. He had spent so much time treating me like an inconvenience—his enemy even. But for a moment, just a fleeting moment, there was something softer in his voice. It wasn’t enough to convince me he wasn’t a monster, but it was enough to keep me awake tonight, questioning everything.I shook my head, scoffing under my breath. "What the hell is wrong with me? Since when does 'clean yourself up' count as sweet?"Yet, I couldn’t deny the flicker of something I’d seen in his eyes. It wasn’t just anger or frustration. There was hesitation, maybe even a hint of… concern? That thought made me stop in my tracks. Concern wasn’t something I associated with Kade. He was a brute, a dictator, someone who seemed to view me as an inconvenience at best and a burden at worst.But then, why hadn’t he punished me for eavesdropping? Why hadn’t he locked me up, as he so often did before? Why ha
As soon as I was out, the real me hit me so badly. What did I just do?!But they real deserved it.I looked around then noticed that the guards weren't around. I was happy for it. This time I didn't want to escape but I wanted the stupid ruthless bastard. Their Alpha.I walked slowly due to hunger until my eyes landed on one of the workers."Where is Kade?", I asked and when her eyes fall on me, fear showed in her eyes. I was scaring with blood of the rotten meat all over my body.She hesitated for a second but when she saw me open my mouth, she gave in i'mmediately. "He's in the meeting room."My brows furrowed. Meeting room?"Where is that and what meeting?""The meeting with the council. It's downstairs, near the cellar." The servant replied, staring at me with wide eyes. The second the compulsion wore off, she walked away without a single thought of what happened.I remained calm, used the energy I had in me and went downstairs, the underground level of the estate, one I had never
I sat frozen, my mind racing as his words echoed in my ears. Was he serious? Would he actually kill someone just to prove a point—or worse, to feed me? A part of me wanted to laugh at the absurdity of it all, but the cold reality was that Alpha Kade wasn’t one to make empty threats.I pulled the blanket tighter around me, my body trembling from more than just hunger. His dominance, his sheer cruelty, clung to me like a suffocating shadow. Yet, beneath it all, there was a fire—a part of me that refused to break no matter how hard he tried to bend me.I forced myself to stand, leaning against the wall for support as I moved to the window. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the packhouse grounds. My wolf stirred within me, restless and angry, urging me to fight back, to run, to do something other than sit and wait for him to come back.But how? The room was locked, and I was weak. My injuries, though healing, had drained me, and I wasn’t sure I could survive anoth
With trembling fingers, I reached for the cabin door and knocked softly. My breath clouded in the icy air, and for a moment, there was no response. I thought of leaving, running back into the darkness to find another way, but the creak of the door interrupted my thoughts.A woman stood in the doorway, her piercing green eyes locking onto mine. She was older, her silver hair braided over one shoulder, and though her face was lined with age, there was a sharpness to her gaze that warned me she wasn’t to be underestimated.She sniffed the air and narrowed her eyes. “A rogue,” she said, her voice calm but laced with suspicion. “You’re injured.”I didn’t deny it. “Please,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “I need shelter, just for tonight.”Her gaze swept over me, taking in the blood, the bruises, and the desperation in my eyes. She let out a slow breath before stepping aside. “Come in, then. But don’t think I won’t throw you out if you bring trouble.”I stepped inside, the warmth of the ca
