Ethena's POV

 

The moment I got into my car and shut the door behind me, I let out a heavy sigh and dropped my head hard - right on my steering wheel, resting for a second.

 

My whole body was trembling from the aftermath of what I had just done, and my head still hurt and felt very heavy from the hangover from drinking too much last night.

 

I reluctantly got up and inserted my keys, but my mind went back to home and I grimaced, wondering what the hell I was supposed to do? What's the point? What's the use? It's not like anybody cared about me…

 

If only things had gone the way I wanted last night, then I wouldn't have to be In this condition. I wouldn't have spent a night with him.

 

In rage, I backed out of the driveway and sped off as I remembered the crude smirk on his face, the way only his presence demanded submission from me without so much as exerting his aura, and yet, I had enjoyed It. I hated the way he made me feel, but oddly enough I also loved It.

 

Nathan was a dangerous man. And my definition of a dangerous man was a man who was confident. He knew he had the looks and the power as a Lycan, but what he didn't know was that I wasn't the other low lives that would willingly kiss his feet and do his bidding.

 

I was my Father's daughter no matter what, and I have grown to know his tale as a ruthless devil who ruled his people with an iron fist.

 

I remembered when I was little and how my father told me scary stories about him- how he would attack small neighboring packs and take their lands and kill their Alpha. From the maids, I learnt of his sickening obsession with women and how he never spent a night alone. He was basically a man-whore.

 

I hated him, but I ended up having a one night stand with him- not only that, he was the first man I'd ever had sex with.

 

As I drove, I felt my cheeks grow hot as I slowly glided my thighs against each other, biting down on my lip and remembering how his thick fingers made me feel when he had thrusted them into my tight pussy hole. I imagined him using three and tearing me apart…

 

"For fuck's sake Ethena, he's the enemy. You shouldn't be daydreaming about that blood thirsty asshole," I suddenly snap at myself, shaking my head like I could physically shake off thoughts of. I grabbed the steering wheel with a firm grip and focused on the road even though my head was still pounding like crazy. "It was a stupid mistake, but since It was between us adults, I'm pretty sure he'll be able to bury this under the hatchet and keep in mind that no one should ever know this happened between us."

 

By the time I drove into the compound, I was already anticipating having a cold bath and falling into a long slumber.

 

However, when I stepped down from the car, I noticed how tense the atmosphere was.

 

My brows creased as I scanned the faces of the maids and guards In the yard. Their expressions revealed shock, disgust and disappointment as they all stared and whispered.

 

I was so speechless at how they boldly chided me, but what left me frozen was when my father burst through the crowd of Omegas and the next second, landed a slap across my face which left me staggering back against the car.

 

"George?!" In the spur of the moment, I heard Ruby gasp before I opened my eyes, my hands still to my cheek as I watched Ruby hold him back.

 

Tears filled my eyes, partly because of the sting from the slap, but mostly because of the pure hate and disgust I saw in his eyes as Ruby pulled him away.

 

Almost everyone in the pack house was gathered around In a semi-circle, looking at me, and I wished for the ground to swallow me up seeing Amira and Jackson in the background, evil smirks on their faces as they stared at me with mirth in their eyes.

 

"She thinks she can completely ruin the reputation of this pack and my name? I would rather kill her myself!" He growled, and before I knew It, I was knocked down to the floor with a punch from him.

 

I gasped, more tears running down my eyes as I held the same cheek which was bright red now with blood filling my mouth.

 

"What have I done?!" I yelled, glaring up at him when I couldn't take the humiliation anymore. "If you didn't want me as a daughter, you could have just said so."

 

"I regret the day you were born into this world Ethena. All you've ever brought me Is shame." He was ruthless with his words and each one stuck me hard like a knife piercing through my heart.

 

"George, she's still your daughter. You know everyone is watching so let's just go inside and talk this out like a family. She probably… " Ruby said, but through the worried, anxious look on her face, I could see the smile and pretense in her eyes.

 

She was enjoying every bit of this.

 

"No. She will not step foot in my house. Infact, she is banished from this pack. From today henceforth she is no longer my daughter. I don't want to ever see you again," I was in shock, not expecting him to go this length. Just when I wanted to really inquire what I had done, he dropped the bomb. "No sane daughter of mine would have sex with my enemy. You have betrayed my trust."

 

Look who's talking about Betrayal.

 

My face grew as pale as a blank sheet of paper.

 

Something dropped on my lap and I stayed there in my kneeling position, watching as the video of Nathan and I having sex last night played out Infront of me with the headlines…

 

'George Wood's daughter caught in a hotel with American's Married Billionaire Bachelor Nathan Prince'

 

Below, I could see pictures of me sleeping on the bed after we had done the deed. My whole body was out in the open. I felt so ashamed. It was at that moment I really wanted the ground to swallow me up. I had thought that was the only picture he had taken. I was so stupid. How could I have thought I had deleted It? No wonder he had readily let me take his phone. He had a lot more from where It came from.

 

Photos of me even leaving the room, already dressed, were released and I suspected his Beta, Augustus had something to do with this.

 

In the video, most times Nathan's face was blurred or It was barely shown as he blended in with the darkness, but It was my face which was the main focus of the video.

 

I saw comments under the video all shaming me and my father. Aside from being an Alpha, in the human world, he was known as a CEO of a large company, and In just one night, the sales had drastically gone down.

 

As I scrolled through, I had almost forgotten the situation I was in, and It was when my father roughly pulled me up by my arm that I realized.

 

The phone fell out of my grip as he threw me aside, towards the exit of the pack and far away from the main compound where the onlookers just stood and watched me.

 

I could see the judgment in their eyes. They probably thought I had been putting up an act, behaving like a decent virgin when I really was just a slut.

 

"Father please." I crawled onto my knees and clasped my hands together. "It was a stupid mistake. It shouldn't have happened… I wasn't thinking."

 

He barely even glanced at me before he turned to Jackson, his head pack warrior.

 

"Ensure she leaves this pack or I'll strip you of your position and ensure you join her."

 

"Yes Alpha." He replied before turning to me with the coldest look I have ever gotten from him.

 

Amira just gave me a once over; like I was trash she was studying before walking inside, not a single look of remorse or pity on her face. Just pure utter bliss.

 

Jackson ordered his men, and like a criminal I was bundled up and thrown into his car which he rode to the outskirts of our pack where he tossed me out, still tied up like an animal.

 

"So, all those times when you refused me and claimed you wanted our first night to be special… you were just a slut in disguise weren't you?" He smirked as he knelt over my tied up body.

 

"Fuck you." I cursed at him. I would rather be left here with just my clothes on and no shoes than beg the likes of him.

 

"You're no different from your sister, but I have to admit, I wouldn't mind giving you another chance to redeem yourself to me." I watched as he suddenly grabbed my neck and licked his lips with a lustful gaze in his eyes. "Maybe I'll reconsider changing your father's mind?"

 

I spat on him this time, and as his expression changed while he wiped It off, I laughed scornfully at him.

 

"Who do you think you are? Do you think he'll ever accept you to even get mated to Amira? Well, no matter how much she loves you, they'll never let a useless ordinary pack warrior be the Alpha. Not when he's alive."

 

He suddenly grabbed me again, this time by my chin and more roughly.

 

"And who do you think you are? You've literally been stripped of your status… you don't even have any at the moment. I'm much better than you than you'll ever be, and I will be the Alpha. I've already come this far to fail now."

 

Seeing that power hungry look in his eyes, my eyes suddenly grew wide with realization.

 

"Y.. you don't love her, do you? You never loved any of us. You were just power hungry. All these while you have just been after the crown?"

 

He just smirked and got up.

 

"Sadly, you're only figuring this out now. Just a few minutes away from being lunch to the wild rogues."

 

I struggled harder in the thick ropes, wincing as they bit into my skin before I looked up to see he was already in his car and getting ready to zoom off.

 

"Fuck you Jackson!" I burst Into tears. "You'll never get away with this."

 

"Funny enough, I am. Watch me." And with that, he sped off, while I ate the dust from his wheels, coughing.

 

It was a painful process, but after a while, I was loose and freed from the ropes, but not without reddish purple marks adorning my wrists and ankles after struggling and wriggling around.

 

It was already getting dark after a few hours, and I looked like I had been here for days. My mini gown was a lot dirty now after wriggling for hours on the ground, my skin was a reddish purple hue, my face was dirty and muddy, and my hair looked like It hadn't been combed for months.

 

To top It all off, my left cheek was still red from the slap and punch earlier and I was barefooted and already got blisters on my toes.

 

Yet, I didn't hesitate before leaving the borders immediately, running towards the one place I knew I had to be right now.

 

Nathan's pack.
