Exalia's POV

There was a knock, followed by the door opening. Maria walked in with a smug expression.

“How does it feel? Don’t worry, I’ll be a good Luna to your mate,” she taunted.

She approached me with an exaggerated expression of concern. “What’s wrong, Exalia? Can’t handle being turned down by your mate?” She sneered.

Before I could respond, Maria’s eyes flicked toward the door. I saw Alpha Jake approaching. Maria’s face twisted into a cruel grin. “Let’s see who’s more important,” she said with satisfaction.

Suddenly, she slammed her head against the door frame, crying out, “Ouch! Ow!” The speed of her actions left me stunned, unable to react.

“What happened, Maria?” Alpha Jake rushed to her, entirely ignoring me.

“Exalia hit me because you didn’t choose her!” Maria’s voice was filled with false indignation. She pointed at me as she spoke to Jake.

He turned to look at me, his brows furrowing in anger.

“Jeez, I didn’t do it,” I said weakly.

“Shut up, Exalia!” Jake snapped. “I thought we could still act civil, but this? You’re not the little girl I once knew.”

“I really didn’t do—” Before I could finish, Jake backhanded me across the face.

The force of the slap made my skin burn, and tears streamed uncontrollably from my eyes.

Without another word, Jake scooped up the wailing Maria, cradling her gently. Maria’s lips curled into a scornful smile as she looked at me.

“I told you,” she mouthed, her eyes glittering with malice.

Hours later, my father stormed into my room, his face flushed with anger. I cowered on the bed, tears streaming down my face.

“How dare he do this to you?” My father roared, his voice trembling with fury.

“Look at how red he turned your face! That cowardly alpha thinks he can just reject my daughter and get away with it because he’s the alpha, and I’m his beta.” I shrank back, my heart pounding. I had never seen my father so enraged.

“Father, please, I don’t know what to do; I’m so tired of being bullied,” I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper.

Without a word, he pulled me out of bed and dragged me through the hall to the alpha’s office. He kicked the door open with a powerful thrust.

“How dare you slap my daughter?” He bellowed, slamming his fist on the desk, making Jake stand up.

“She harmed Maria; I had no choice but to discipline her,” Jake replied nonchalantly.

“Did you consult me, her father, before you decided to discipline her? You’ve known her for 18 years. Would she ever bully anyone? You broke her spirit with your rejection; why couldn’t you just let her be?"

“I don’t care if you’re the alpha; my daughter is not a toy!” I blinked away the fresh tears threatening to fall.

“Is that a threat?” Jake’s voice was menacing as he narrowed his eyes at my father. Without a word, my father’s fist flew toward Jake, landing squarely on his jaw.

“Now that’s a threat!” my father said defiantly.

“Apologize, Beta!” Jake growled, and I knew this would not end well.

“Never!” my father shouted.

“Alright then! Guards, make sure he receives no less than 40 strokes of a silver rod laced with wolf bane,” Jake commanded, turning on his heel and walking out.

I ran after him, desperation flooding me. “Alpha, please, have mercy! I’m sorry,” I pleaded, falling at his feet, not knowing how to stop the punishment.

“Get off me and stay away!” he snapped, kicking me aside. I watched helplessly as the guards dragged my father away. I felt utterly powerless. How could my friend, my mate, be so heartless?

“Ahhhh! Ahhhhh!” I heard my father scream out in pain.

He was lying flat on a wooden-like board while two guards stood opposite each other, holding big rods in their hands and flogging him.

Maria sat in front of it with a smile on her face. If they weren't using silver and wolfs bane, I wouldn't have any problems, but this way, my father was too vulnerable.

The heavy whip was brought down with full force again and again across my father's shoulders, back, and legs. At first, the heavy thongs cut through his skin only.

Then, as the blows continued, they cut deeper into the subcutaneous tissues, producing first an oozing of blood from the capillaries and veins of the skin and finally spurting arterial bleeding from vessels in the underlying muscles.

I thought I could watch, and as the pack beta, he could manage, but no, my father was dying, and no one fucking cared.

“Ahhh! Please, Maria, I'd do anything to stop this." After enduring 20 strokes, I couldn't watch anymore; blood could be seen dripping down from the wooden board.

Maria stood up from her seat and walked to me. “Are you sure you are ready to do anything?” She raised an eyebrow, and I desperately nodded at her.

“Good then, fall to my feet and wipe my feet. I think they are dusty.” She ordered with a provocative smile.

She looked at me, “Well, there's going to be an all-alpha meeting tomorrow, so I want to make sure to serve all of them. For now, I'd talk to the alpha, but everything depends on your performance,” “Yes, Maria,” I muttered. “Maria?” She asked. “I meant Luna,” she smiled and gestured for me to leave with her hand. “My father?” I sobbed. “He'd be looked after to do your work,” she said, and after looking at my unconscious father for a while, I left. ~~~~ Walking to my house I stopped by the forest trying to feel my wolf, she could help me right? I believed I had one, but it wasn't clear to me why she didn't show up yet. I closed my eyes, focusing on the forest sounds and the gentle breeze.

"You were forcing yourself on him, it was so clear,” the lady who I didn't know continued. “Impossible! I would never do such a thing; what would I gain? He tried… he tried…” I failed to explain as I burst into more tears. Immediately, the door slammed open, and five guards stormed into the kitchen. With two pulling my arms, I didn't know how to react; it was happening just too fast. “Exalia! What have you done?” one of them, the pack gamma, asked. “Nothing! I swear! He tried to force himself on me and… and I didn't do anything, just a push!” I cried out as more tears threatened to fall from my eyes. “Don't lie to us! We have the evidence, and there's a witness!” Mike the gamma exclaimed harshly, pointing at the alpha's body and the unknown lady. Hitting his hand on his forehead, which was something he'd always do when angry, he looked at me. “What? No! I

I'd go out on a walk and we'd check out how to get into the pack house,” my voice sounded as I stood up and walked out through the door, as my beta, jace followed behind me.The night was dark and quiet in the territory of the Moon launch Pack. As the fierce and dominant lycan alpha, I prowled through the dense forest, by my guards, and jace. "Alpha, everything seems calm tonight," one of the guards reported, breaking the silence of the night.I scanned the area with my black eyes and nodded in acknowledgment. "Stay vigilant. We have an attack to launch," I replied firmly. Deep down, I longed to rest, but I had to get rid of all the corrupt alpha's and I was going to do just that, I had to uphold my duties. I was known as the most feared alpha, although I didn't see anything scary about myself compared to Peter, my best friend,

"The rogues are attacking the clinic! Hurry!" The nurse yelled, running past the prison. Rogues? Attack?! Father! My heart sank as I followed the guards. Each moment was filled with terror, as I hoped it wasn't as bad as I thought. "Where's my father?" I asked a guard who walked past me. He scoffed indifferently, continuing on his way like I never existed. "Where's my family? Where's my father?" I asked another guard standing by the corner. He turned to me, his gaze fierce as he rolled his eyes. Why wasn't anyone listening to me? Why weren't they answering me? I'm not invisible, am I? Maybe it's not as bad as I think. My father is the beta after all. He was a skilled warrior. Nothing bad would happen to him. Right? Yes, he's safe. He's definitely safe. But what if he isn't? What if h

Though I reeked of blood and sweat. I just needed to ensure she was ok and not feeling bad I left her for so long."Alpha," Mark called disturbed.Turning, I arched a brow as I asked, "What?""It's about your mate, alpha," he said, his voice low as he avoided my gaze."What happened to her?! Tell me!""Alpha, she's been locked up.""Locked up? Release her and bring her to me at once!"Watching his departing figure, my blood instantly bubbled with rage. How dare they lock my woman without my consent! I'll kill whoever's responsible.In moments, I watched as my mate was dragged, thrown across the

After many trials and stress, I was finally able to merge my pack with the Moon Launch Pack, which was also Kiera's pack.Surprisingly, their Alpha had absconded with his mate even before the battle had started. I snorted when I remembered that memory.I couldn't figure out how that coward became their Alpha, such a wimp.Thankfully, Kiera still cares about this pack; if not, I wouldn't have bothered about the merging.Taking large strides, I finally arrived in the hall and strode in calmly. The noisy hall instantly quietened as I made my way in.Without glancing at any of them, I took my seat on the center chair at the far end of the hall before looking around the hall.The Elders from my pack and the Elders from the Moon launch pack sat on each side.“So, what's this meeting about?” I asked calmly, staring a

Didn't you want an elevation in your status?” I asked, crossing my arms with a smile that didn't reach the depths of my eyes.  The elder flinched, a

Please don’t tell me a gulp of champagne is making you shiver like a little baby,” he mocked, grinning with his teeth wide open.“Are you going to take your own gulp, or you prefer to say things that are not profound?” I asked, whispering into his ears, so that only he could hear what I said.He gave me a side eye and took the bottle from my hands, and his eyes glinted with a mischievous look, Alex was a silly old man.“Okay everyone,” he said, shining his teeth and grinning.“To kicking some ass and to popping champagne and drinking on the way home,” he said, pouring down so much of the liquid into his throat.We all burst into a fit of laughter, even Dane fell rolled on the ground, and Tasha lost her footing and fell

Not everyone could tolerate the way a woman would treat them like the way Alex did to me.Sometimes, when I looked at Alex, I saw a humble, gentle and great leader, and I was often very proud of him.I also felt honored to be the Luna and queen of such a wonderful Alpha king like Alex.I know that he we every girls dream, if I was not his Luna, and If he had not yet chosen a mate and married by now, many girls would have been flocking around him in the palace everyday.Many of them would even go out of their way to get h

Blood flowed down my ribs, and I felt some pain, similar to a muscle pull on my ankle.Exalia was soon with me in a flash, she had also turned back into her human form, and her beautiful silver fur was gone.She examined my minor injuries with her fingers, and I could see that she was not happy about it at all, she seemed sad.“Are you okay?” She asked with a tight and sober voice, she didn’t look so good.“Yeah,” I replied, trying to hide the fact that my bones hurt and I was in slight pain.“How are you holding up?” I asked her.“Hmmm, I’m good,” she said but she stared at the ocean as if she was expecting something.The waves were restless and they splashed as if they were angry at something.Ryk, Tasha and Dane appeared in front of us, and they look
