Chapter 2

My scream shocked them so much that they jumped away from each other.

“Amanda? What are you doing here?” Derek asked in surprise. “How- when did you get here?”

I barked out a dry laugh. “Oh you didn’t hear me enter? I guess it was hard to hear over the sound of you cheating on me with my own sister!” I snapped.

“Correction, step sister.” Amanda interrupted with a proud smirk on her face. She was still lying on the bed with no shame for what she had done.

“You bitch!” I sneered, “How can you be so cold and shameless? Why do you have to take everything from me? You knew how much we loved each other but you kept chasing him until you finally had your way!” Hot tears were running down my face now but Amanda just grinned at me.

“Chase him? No darling, I never chased Derek, he was the one chasing me, begging me for months to keep our relationship secret because he couldn’t get enough of me. We have been fucking behind your back for months now. You were just too dumb to see it.” She giggled.

“You bitch!” I screamed, trying to jump on her, but Derek immediately grabbed me and shoved me to the floor.

“That’s enough Vera! I won’t let you put a single finger on the mother of my child.” He growled.

 I looked up at him in shock. Did I hear him correctly? Was this real or was it a prank? “M-mother?” I stammered, looking between them with wide eyes.

“Yes.” Amanda smiled. “I’m soon going to be the mother of Derek’s first child. I’m 3 months pregnant. Won’t you congratulate me?” She said, grinning at me like she had just shared the best news possible.

My head was spinning and I felt bile rise up in my throat.

“Derek? Is it true? You’ve been sleeping with her for months and you got her pregnant?” I asked with pain in my chest.

I prayed he would deny it, that he would say she was lying. That she had drugged him or something else, but one look at his cold face told me I was only deceiving myself. This was not my Derek anymore.

“Stop crying Vera, you’re embarrassing me and yourself. Just go home, I don’t know why you had to come and ruin my fun time for me and my Luna.”

If my heart was broken before, his words had completely shattered it now.

I slowly got up to my feet with tears still streaming down my face. “Why are you doing this to me Derek? You said you loved me! You said you’d never do anything to hurt me! You said you hated Amanda and the others for hurting me. So why are you doing this now?” I cried but to my horror, Derek burst out laughing.

“You stupid little girl. You really believed all that? You’re really dumber than I thought. Of course I had to say all those things. How else could I keep you as a loyal, obedient little pet? I just told you what you wanted to hear and you eagerly ate into my hands like the desperate, pathetic little Omega you are.”

His words felt like a physical punch to my stomach. The painful lump in my throat grew so much that it was getting hard to breathe.

If Derek had taken a knife and physically stabbed me in the back with it, I doubt it would hurt more than this.

“So everything was a lie then? You never loved me. You just wanted a loyal pet that you can control. Is that it?” I asked and Derek shook his head.

“No my darling. Not everything was a lie. I do love you in my own special way. You were always so obedient, so desperate for my approval, always eager to please me and you never knew how to say no. You were the perfect little pet. But I love you and Amanda both, and I want to keep you both with me. In fact, I want to get you pregnant with my pups soon too.” He revealed with a smile and I almost vomited.

 “What?!” I gasped. “-You’re not.. are you serious?! You think I will stay with you after what you’ve done? You must be crazy! I don’t want anything to do with you ever again!” I yelled before turning on my heels, with the intention to storm away, but Derek suddenly grabbed my arm and yanked me back against his chest.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going? You think you can just break up with me and leave? After all the time I’ve invested in training you to be so good for me? Hell no baby girl, you’re mine forever, or until I get tired of you.”

I stared up at him in horror. How was this the same man who gently kissed my bruises? who hugged me when I cried? who promised to love and care for me for eternity? When had he become so heartless? When had he become so cruel?

Or was Amanda right? Had he always been this way and I had been too foolish to see it? Amanda’s voice suddenly snapped me back to reality.

“Derek please come back to bed. Let’s finish what we started. The bed is getting cold without you.” She cooed at him and he smiled at her with a hungry look in his eye.

The look he gave her made me want to puke.

Before I could react, Derek called in two guards and shoved me into their arms.

“Lock her up in her room. I paid her father good morning to buy her when she turns 18, so you better not leave a scratch on her.”

I gasped at him. So that was why my stepfather never objected to our relationship? Because he had already sold me to Derek?

All the men in my life were heartless, rotten monsters. What had I ever done to be treated like this?!

The guards immediately dragged me out of the room, but instead of taking me down to the dungeons like I expected, they took me to the very next room and locked me in it.

I let out a gasp of horror when I saw what the room was. The room was obviously specially designed for me. It had my pictures and my name hung or plastered across the room. But that wasn’t the horrible part.

The part of horror was that there were chains and whips attached to the bed and other parts of the room. There was also a small dog cage in the corner of the room with a dogs bowl in it. The bowl had my name on it. The cage was for me.

Derek was going to lock me up in here and force me to be his pet slave! He was truly sick!

It was clearly a twisted prison but I should still have been relieved that I wasn’t in the cold smelly dungeons, but then I suddenly realized why they locked me here.

 The walls were paper thin and I could hear Amanda moaning very loudly as Derek continued to fuck her in the very next room.

I tried to block the sound by covering my ears but it didn’t work. I could still hear everything.

I eventually gave up and curled myself on the floor, letting the painful sobs finally wreck my body.

A part of me still couldn’t believe what had happened. In a flash of a second, all my hopes and dreams of a new life with Derek, the only thing that was keeping me together, was smashed to pieces. It was all a lie, and I was the greatest fool to ever believe that someone as powerful as Derek would ever love someone like me.

This was all my fault, it was all happening because I was weak and pathetic. I couldn’t protect my mother and she died because of me. If I had a wolf at least, then maybe I would have been useful to the pack. But no, I was weak, pathetic and I let myself trust a handsome man with sweet empty words.

But never again! Derek hadn’t just broken my heart tonight, he had killed a very important part of me. I would never ever be the same again.

I cried until there were no more tears to cry. Then I passed out on the cold floor.

I was roughly woken up by someone pouring water on my face.

I gasped awake as the water entered my nose and made it hard to breathe.

I wiped my face and looked up to see Jessica grinning down at me. She was more than happy to see me humiliated like this.

“Wakey wakey Princess Vera. How do you like your new room? And did you enjoy what you saw in Derek’s room last night? I tried to warn you, but you refused to listen.” She laughed with that familiar evil glint in her eyes.

The former me would have begged her to leave me alone, I would have let her do whatever she wanted to me so that she wouldn’t get more angry. But that part of me was dead now. Derek killed her last night.

I looked her straight in the eyes and sneered. “Fuck off Jessica!”

I saw her eyes go round with shock at my words. She clearly never expected me to retaliate. Suddenly her hand struck out and she landed a very hard slap across my face.

“You fucking Omega bitch! How dare you?! How dare you talk back to me like that? So you suddenly grew brave huh? You think you’re better than me just because you’re prettier?

 Because all the boys can’t stop lusting after you, you Omega Slut?” She screeched with red hot anger.

I was no longer affected by her insults, and I wasn’t scared of her anymore, instead I just coldly smiled at her. “So is that the reason you always hated me? Because I’m prettier than you? Or because all the boys like me better?” I sneered back.

She roared in anger and was about to hit me across the face again but Derek suddenly appeared and grabbed her hand mid air.

“I told you not to spoil my property! Do you know how much she cost me?!” Derek yelled, shoving Jessica away from me.

She wanted to argue but Derek commanded her to leave us, and she reluctantly obeyed.

Derek looked back at me and smirked. “I heard what you said to her a minute ago. So you finally grew some balls to fight back? What changed?”

I smirked back at him. “I realized that my former boyfriend was a stupid imbecile, and a worthless piece of shit who is trying to control me because he knows just how weak and pathetic he truly is.”

Derek stared at me with so much hatred that I got worried that I had pushed him too far.

Before I could react, he lunged at me and slammed me into the wall. His hand tightened around my throat so much that I stopped breathing.

But just when I thought I was going to die, Jessica burst into the room with panic in her eyes. “Alpha! Alpha!” She screamed.

“What?!” He snapped, angry at being distracted from his attempted murder.

“It’s Alpha Sylvester. He just crossed our borders!” She yelled and Derek froze.

I saw the blood drain from his face in obvious fear but I couldn’t blame him though. Anyone who heard about Alpha King Sylvester knew they were in trouble. Alpha Sylvester was bad news. Very very bad news.
