Chapter 3

VICTOR’S POV

I watched as the girl that the Moonfire Pack brought as my wife fell and I was quick enough to catch her in my arms, seeing her go unconscious. I immediately mind-linked the pack doctor before taking her to my room, Gabriel and the girl she came with following me behind. She was too frail and felt weightless in my hands.

I dropped her on my bed and realised that she was bleeding as my arms were covered with blood from her back. I raised her top, only to see several scars, both old and new on her body. There were new and fresh wounds that were badly stitched and bleeding. The sight wasn't something I could withstand. 

The pack doctor quickly came inside, rushing to her side on sighting her. She began to tend to her wounds, stitching them up well. After she was done, she did some check-ups on her and gave her some medicine before cleaning the blood off her.

" Alpha, she is malnourished and weak. She has a few broken bones and I don't sense much energy coming from her. It seems like she is wolfless and that's why she became this sick after all the wounds on her body, " the doctor revealed, causing me to ball my hands into fists, my claw digging deep into my palms as hot breath came out from my nostrils.

I couldn't overlook the fact that the Moonfire Pack had insulted my position by sending me an Omega as my bride. A weak, malnourished, badly beaten, and wolfless Omega. I wasn't going to let this slide, I wasn't going to let them do this to me.

Glancing at her one last time, I walked out of the room and went to my office without saying a word. I got into my office and finally released my hands, blood dripping down from it to the floor. Gabriel, my Beta came almost immediately, but stopped as he saw me. My eyes had turned pitch black, and my breathing quavered. 

I raised my hands, smashing my table into two, all the papers there falling on the floor. Gabriel lowered his head in submission, my Alpha power all in full display. I was a hot-tempered person, got angry easily, and didn't like when I was fooled.

They offered a lady to me as a peace treaty to stop the attack I was planning to send to their Pack, but instead, they sent me an Omega. She couldn't even become a warrior, let alone become the Luna of the Bloodfang Pack. No one would respect an Omega and other Packs would mock me, see me as a coward, and use her as a tool to destroy the Pack my late parents had built from scratch. Both she and the Moonfire Pack would pay, they would pay for everything.

" When she wakes up, send her and the friend she came with to the Omega quarters where they originally belong. Give them double the work the Omegas receive and let them be punished for every little mistake they make, even if it is placing a bucket of water in the wrong place. And, send a thank you gift to the Moonfire Pack for the bride they sent to me, let them know that I receive her with all pleasure, " I ordered, my eyes returning to their normal colour. Gabriel raised his head, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion at my orders.

" Alpha, are you sure about this? It would favour no one if she becomes an Omega in this pack. We can just train her hard and make her a warrior or a tracker, " he suggested, but that wasn't any of my concern. I wasn't going to let her get away with this.

" She becoming an Omega won't favour anyone, and won't also destroy me or anyone in this Pack. Just do as I've ordered, Gabriel, I'm not changing my mind, " I waved him off and he bowed his head before leaving.

MAYA'S POV

My eyes opened as I regained consciousness. It was dark and I tried to adjust my eyes to the darkness. I knew I was in an unfamiliar place, seeing that the scent of the sheets was different, yet alluring. 

I raised my top to see that all my wounds had been cleanly stitched and I felt no pain anymore, it was as if I had been sedated. Soon, memories began rushing into my head, my leaving Moonfire Pack for Bloodfang Pack, my pounding headache and fever which I felt no more, my fainting and the Alpha catching me. 

I placed my hands over my mouth, my eyes widened as I remembered all that happened. I felt like killing myself right now. After everything I had done to prevent the Alpha from seeing me as weak and pathetic as he wanted, I fainted in his arms. How could I have been so stupid? I resisted the urge to cry as it would do me no good, right now, I needed to figure out how to leave this dark room.

I stood up from the bed, feeling much better than earlier, and walked, trying my best to avoid things. I wasn't able to see well as I had no power, but at least, I was able to sense my surroundings with the little energy I had left in me.

Suddenly, the door opened and I fell on my buttocks, surprised as I wasn't expecting anyone to come inside. Everywhere soon became bright and I saw Alpha Victor standing next to the switch.

On sighting him, I instantly stood up, lowering my head and barring my neck in submission, hating the fact that he had seen me act weak twice today. When I heard nothing from him, I looked up, only to see him staring intensely at me with a kind of expression I couldn't understand.

" Seeing you up from bed and acting like a kid has made me know that my doctor did a great job in treating you, " he spoke out and I bit my lips, unsure whether to thank him or not. He was the reason I was badly beaten, acting oblivious didn't change that fact.

" Your name? " he questioned, still standing in his position, but his arms folded together and I almost gulped at his bulging muscles. I wondered why he was asking my name, there was no way he agreed to marry me without knowing my name, right?

" Maya, " I responded and he raised a brow as if wanting me to continue. I blinked at him, not knowing what he wanted me to say until it clicked. "Just Maya, " I responded, and even though his eyes looked like he wanted to ask questions, he nodded and I couldn't be more grateful.

Most times I tell people that I was just Maya, and they began to throw questions my way like ' Why are you just Maya? What's your surname? Where are your parents? and the likes. Some even snicker and make fun of me when I tell them the truth, without any care.

" Why did you accept the marriage and come here to become my wife? What were you thinking when you accepted to become the wife of an Alpha, a powerful one at that? Was it power? Money? Or other reasons? " He asked and I shook my head. I hadn't even thought that far. I just did as Alpha Caleb instructed and came here without thinking of what I was going to be doing there. Was I going to become a Luna? The thought of that bothered me.

" I don't have thoughts like that, Alpha, " I answered truthfully. " My Alpha only ordered me to get prepared as I was going to get married to you and I did as he ordered, " I elaborated and I heard his footsteps, he was coming closer to me.

" Why did you accept his orders to get married to someone you haven't met and don't know? What did he promise you in exchange for you spying on me and my Pack? " His voice deepened, becoming more cold as he walked towards me, and even though I was terrified, I couldn't help but be turned on.

" He said I had to get married to you for you to stop the attack on the Pack, and he would have killed me if I refused his orders so I had no choice. I'm nothing but a mere Omega who cannot dare to refuse her Alpha's order, " I replied even though I wondered why he was asking me these unnecessary and doubting questions. Didn't he and the Alpha agree to sell me to his Pack for a peace treaty?

Before I knew what was happening, the Alpha burst into laughter, a dark cold laughter that sent chills down my spine. I didn't know what I was feeling anymore. My legs were becoming weak and I had to go back to the bed to sit down to avoid falling.

I stared at him as he came closer to me, the itchiness in between my legs increasing as I began to feel hot. I began to use my hands to fan myself, but it wasn't helping as I began sweating. My thighs felt wet, my clit shuddering, wanting to be touched. Alpha Victor bent to meet my position, his eyes furrowed as he began to sniff the air.

" I can smell your arousal, " he said, smirking devilishly, and a moan escaped from my lips, causing me to cover my mouth with my palms as he chuckled. " Do I get you turned on just with my voice? You haven't even seen me at all, " he continued and I bit my lips, trying to control myself but failing miserably.

I didn't know what to do anymore, so I just let my body control me. I grabbed him by the collar and placed my lips on his, closing my eyes as I felt him stiffen.
