I've not run for a minute when a hand grabbed me by my neck from behind, making my head snap back. I screamed in pain, my head fuzzy.
That was when I felt it, the sparks. I could feel electricity on the part of my neck he was holding. It felt amazing and made my toes curl. I hit his hand and I jolted from the sparks. The scent I smelt earlier surrounded me strongly and I could feel my wolf going crazy inside me, trying to come out. My hands pricked as I tried to stop him from choking me. I struggled to open my eyes and the moment I saw his face, I let out a gasp. He had curly long hair that was styled in a stylish way. His face looked like it was carved by angels and his cold gray eyes stared at me with no emotion. He was very handsome. My wolf was trying to communicate with me, but since it had been so long since she spoke with me, I couldn't hear her well. After so many trials of trying to connect with me. I heard it, it was very faint, but I heard it. "Mate." My wolf whispered. "I just found my mate but he's trying to kill me." “Let me go! Let go of me.” I screamed out, hitting his arms, but he didn't bulge. His grey eyes stared into my soul. “How…How can you do this to your mate?” I stuttered, black dots clouding my vision. “You will say no such words.” He growled, shaking me. “I am no mate to a rogue and I'll never be.” “Is everything okay over there, Alpha Logan.” The beta asked, wondering why he was hesitating to kill the last rogue. “We really need to get back to the park. You need to hurry up if you're going to get rid of her. Infact, You know what, I'll leave, you can catch up with me when you're done.” He continued, annoyed and irritated before leaving. I felt the grip on my neck loosen a bit and I could breathe properly but I could tell a nasty bruise was going to form around my neck later. “What are you doing in my park's territory, you filthy rouge?” He growled, his eyes changing color. I chuckled. “That's not a nice way to talk to your mate, is it? You can't tell me you don't feel the sparks.” “If you dare say that word again, I won't hesitate to kill you.” He growled out, his claws poking out of his fingers and his face emotionless. I was scared with the way he looked at me and I could tell he's not someone I want to mess with. I'll ask you for the last time. “What are you doing in my territory? Were you sent here to spy on us? Did you come with your fellow brothers?” “No, no. I promise you, I don't know them. I was being chased, that was why I ran into your territory, please don't kill me.” I pleaded. “I ran away from my park and have been surviving in the woods alone. I am a lone wolf.” “Begging and pleading won't change anything. I hate rogues with so much passion and the last thing I'd ever do is to be mates with one. I'll rather die than be mates with you.” He said, with disgust all over his face. I could feel the waves of hatred flowing out of him and I felt a huge pang in my chest. “You can't ignore the mate bond. You'll have no choice but to succumb to it.” I replied him, fighting back tears. “Don't you dare lecture me on what to do!” He yelled out, baring his teeth and making me tilt my head to the side in submission. “You're nothing but a good for nothing, lone wolf. You aren't fit to be a luna neither will I let you be the mother to my pups!” “I can tell you can't shift into your wolf yet and that is so pathetic! You will never have any use to me or to anyone else.” “Enough!” I cried out, my voice breaking. I hated that his words got to me. It wasn't like he lied but I didn't expect him to be that harsh. “You don't have to say all those words to me. If you don't want me as your mate, just kill me already. Snap my neck and put me out of my misery! I hate my life already, so just kill me!” “One thing I hate is people telling me what to do. Killing you would be too easy for you and I don't want that. I want you to feel something worse, something terrible that would make you wish you were dead. You will look for death but you won't find it.” He sneered at me, making me gulp in fear. “What's your name, rouge?” He asked, his eyes blazing with anger. I refused to reply to him, hoping he'd get tired of waiting for me to respond and just kill me or he'll change his mind and let me go. I really didn't want to die. “I'm not a very patient man and I have a lot to do at the park. Don't test me.” He snarled. “Please, just let me go. We can act like we never met and I promise not to ever come back here again. I won't trespass again.” I pleaded again, hoping it would do something but it just fueled his anger more. Before I could blink, I was pinned to the bark of a tree, the harshness making my back bruise. I cried out in pain. “Your name!” He growled in my face. His face was fully in his wolf form, he looked scary and I cowered In fear. “Lily.” I croaked out. “My name is Lily Stone.” He grunted in satisfaction before looking me dead in my eyes. “I, Alpha Logan, of the crescent moon park, reject Lily Stone as my luna and mate.”I could feel my heart break into pieces as I heard the words come out if his mouth. My mate just rejected me. I looked into his blank eyes as he let go of me and I just crumbled on the floor, My wolf howling in pain. “What…What did you just do?” I cried out, placing my hands on my chest, breathing heavily. He smirked as he looked at me. “I told you, I'd rather let you wish for death than kill you. You will die from the pain of having no mate and it will be slow and agonizing.” “How could you be so evil? The moon goddess didn't make us mates for no reason. You should have just killed me!” I screamed out. “Sulking and shouting won't fix anything. Now stand up, we need to leave.” He replied, looking bored and uninterested in whatever I was saying. “What do you mean by we should leave? Haven't you done enough? I'm not going anywhere with you.” I said, hugging my legs to my chest, sniffing. “You really think I reject you and just let you go?” He laughed coldly. “You might not be o
“How dare you speak back to me! You filthy rouge. Don't you know what you are in this park? You're nothing and you're about to live your worst life ever here. You're going to die and I'll make sure it's by my hands.” I smirked, spitting out the blood that was forming in my mouth and glared at her, not backing down. She got more furious and growled at me, claws coming out of her fingers, ready to attack me when Logan grabbed her by her waist, nuzzling his nose in her neck. “Calm down Valerie, you don't need to get angry because of a bitch like her.” “You need to punish her, Logan. Did you see the way she looked at me? I'm sure she plans to do something evil to me later. I don't like her and I want you to kill her immediately, right now!” Valerie whined. I rolled my eyes as I watched them, disgust evident on my face. Logan looked up at me, angrily his eyes changing colors. He growled and stalked towards me. “How dare you disrespect my mate and Luna of my park? He yelled, making
“What do you mean by that? What mistake did I make by coming here? How do you even know my name?” I asked, curious, confused and disturbed. “How did you get in here? Show your face, you coward.” I said, trying to act stronger that I look.I stared at the man squatting in front of me, trying to figure him out but I couldn’t. His voice sounded familiar but I couldn’t place where I heard it from. “You’re in no position to ask me questions, rogue. You came here at the wrong time and if you think you can ruin my years of hard work, you’re wrong. I’ll kill you before then.” This park is no place for you to be and if you think you can have the alpha as your mate, you are very wrong. Rogues are to be killed and soon, you will be!” He said, his hands tightening around the cage bars with rage. “Can you just explain yourself better? I have no idea what you’re talking about and how did you know we’re mates? Who exactly are you and—?” I didn’t complete my statement before he was away in a
The moongoddess hates me. I know that now. Right from when I started to suffer in my last pack, to this very moment of being caught after trying to escape. She hates me. I'm weak, with no wolf. I can't fight to save my life and my mate doesn't want me. The plan was to start a new life entirely, forgetting about Logan, but that can't happen anymore. I groaned as I tried to push the body off me, but it felt like I was trying to lift a heavy rock, it was impossible. I could feel my body get hot and electricity zap through my body. The tip of my fingers were left with a tingling sensation. I had been caught by Logan. He got off me in a flash, and took a few steps away from me and I got up fast on my feet, about to run again when I crashed onto a hard wall. I stepped back and looked back to see what stopped me from running when I saw that it was Logan and the hard walk was his toned body. His hair was wet and disheveled and I could tell that he just had his bath. His eyes were black,
I laid on the floor in my cage, weak and tired from crying so much. I put the maid in danger and Logan didn't hesitate to deal with her. He whipped her for over an hour and at some point, he forced me to watch her. He didn't stop until she was unconscious. I closed my eyes tightly and the picture of her battered body flashed in my mind. Logan had thrown me back in the cage and told me he'd be back. I sniffed and sat down, trying to clear my head. A mate is supposed to be your special someone, who you share a connection with. I always wished to find my mate and I daydream of how he would treat me, love me and cherish me but I got a monster who rejected me. I was about to fall asleep when I heard two voices talking. I could tell one was Logan because I could sense him. The other person was a female and from the scent, I could tell it wasn't Valerie. I scooted closer to the entrance of the cage so that I could hear them well. "How could you lock her up, Logan? She's your mate!" Th
The next morning, I woke up feeling hungry. My stomach growled all through the night, so as soon as I woke up, I brushed my teeth and left the room in search of food. I walked around for a while, getting lost in the castle, but it wasn’t for long because I was able to find the kitchen. I opened it to find different servants bustling and working, looking serious. None of them looked approachable and I was about to leave when a voice stopped me. "Why are you leaving? Aren't you here to get something to eat?" I looked back to check the owner of the voice to see that is was a male who looked like he was around my age or younger. I smiled and nodded my head slowly. "Come on in." He said, smiling and I followed him back into the kitchen. He brought out some slices of bread, lettuce, tomatoes and onions and started to make me a sandwich. I liked my lips and my stomach growled out, making me bow my head in embarrassment. "That wasn't my stomach." I squeaked out. "Yeah, it sure wasn't."
Before I could blink, I was up against the wall with Logan’s hand wrapped around my neck. He wasn't squeezing it yet, but he applied pressure enough to make me gasp for breath. "What did I tell you about how to speak?" He growled at me. "What gave you the right to speak to your future Luna like that!?""I saw her flirting with one of the male servants in the kitchen instead of coming to my room to help me with things that I had planned for the day. You had to see how she was all over the servant." Valerie tutted. Logan growled loudly, scaring me. I could feel the anger rolling off him through the mate bond and the pressure on my neck was getting tighter. I brought up my hand and put it on his, gently, looking deep into his eyes. "Calm down, Logan." I whispered and I saw something flicker in his eyes but it was gone as soon as I saw it. Logan growled out angrily again before releasing me and running out. "You're lucky he didn't break your neck this time but I promise you, that the
"What…what do you mean by that Valerie?" I stuttered. "I don't think I have to fight with you. I don't want to fight with you, I'm good.""Are you scared?" Valerie teased. "I don't care if you want to spar with me or not. Come into the clearing and let's get started." She said sternly, "I don't see a reason why I should. I'm not even dressed for a fight. How am I supposed to fight you in a gown? It won't be a fair fight because you're fully dressed for this and I'm not." "You're talking too much, rouge." Valerie said with a fake yawn. "I didn't ask for any stories from you. Why are you explaining so much? Do you really think I care? Get in here!"I clenched my fist as I looked at her. We both knew the sparring wasn't going to be like a normal one. She had another agenda and I could see it in her eyes. She was going to beat me up. "We don't have all day, rouge. I have to get ready for my party later tonight. If you're going to be my servant, I need to know how you can protect me. I
