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 of use to me, but we need more servants and you will do just fine as one. Now get up!” He barked at me. “I'm not leaving with you, I'm going nowhere. I'd rather die. Just kill me. I am not a slave and I'll never be one. You've rejected me already, so just let me go.” I replied, clenching my fist. “You're not in any position to make any decisions here. You are coming with me and that's final.” He replied, gritting his teeth. “I'm doing you a favor by asking you to come with me and if you know what's good for you, you come with me immediately!” I didn't say anything nor did I act like I could hear him. I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that he just rejected me. All of a sudden I felt his fist in my hair, pulling it to the side, my head bending with it. “You'll have to do as I say or I'll make you do worse things. Now, get up!” He said angrily, before dragging me behind him. “You're hurting me.” I cried, my feet dragging after him. I scratched his arms, but he just tightened his fist. “Please, please. I'm sorry. I'll go with you.” I said softly, crying. I could feel my scalp getting hot from the force in which he used to pull my hair. The pain was too much. The softness of my voice must have gotten to him because he stopped dragging me and bent so he could look me in the eye. “All you have to do is just to be obedient and you wouldn't have to go through pain.” He said, sternly. “We have to make some ground rules before we get to the park. First, don't keep eye contact with anyone till we reach wherever we're going. Secondly, for no reason should you speak to anyone, unless I give you the permission to.” “Now, the last and the most important. You must never, ever tell anyone we're mates.” ”To them, you're just a rogue I captured from the woods. If you fail to abide by these three rules, I'll make sure you don't live to see the next day.” He said, his face blank and scary. Although I wasn't happy with his rules, I just had to agree to it. I nodded and didn't say anything. I was too tired, dirty and weak to fight back. He stared at me for a while, thinking I'd put up a fight but after seeing that I was saying nothing, he shoved me forward and we started walking. After a few minutes of walking, some buildings started coming into view and I could hear people talking. I bowed my head, making sure my face was covered with my long hair. We walked further and more buildings came into view, people started to notice me and whisper amongst themselves. “Who is she and what is she doing here?” “Her scent is different. She must be a rouge.” A voice spat out “Look at her feet, her hands and her clothes. I can't even look at her. She's an eyesore.” A feminine voice said. I took in a deep breath and continued walking, trying to not listen to whatever anyone had to say about me. We soon got to a castle-like building and I tried to push open the doors, but it didn't budge. “What a weakling.” Logan muttered, before pushing me out of the way and opening the doors. All I had seen on his face since we met were anger, disgust and irritation. We hadn't walked a few steps into the house when a shrill voice rang out. “Baby! Oh my God I missed you. I was worried about you when you ran out of the meeting.” A girl with blonde hair and a heavily made up face ran to hug Logan, planting a sloppy kiss on his lips. My face burnt as I watched him move his lips, kissing her back. I clenched my fist in anger before looking away. “I had to deal with something which made me late.” Logan said, licking his lips and looking at me. I looked at the girl again, glaring at her and she noticed. She walked up to me, looking at me from head to toe. “You stink and look horrible.” She said, covering her nose and looking at me with disgust. I chuckled and decided to break one of Logan’s rules. I decided to reply to her. “At least I don't look like a clown. Did you check the mirror at all? You look like a joke.” I burst into laughter as she looked at me angrily. She wasn't expecting me to say that to her and I enjoyed the look on her face. “How dare you!?” She yelled angrily before moving closer to me to give me a slap on the face!“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
Logan’s povI groaned out as I ran my hands through my hair. These past few days have been frustrating for me. I found my mate but I rejected her. I just had to.It was a different thing if she was just a weakling but she wasn't just that. She is a rouge and I can't deal with that but why haven't i been myself these past few days. I should have just let her or go or just kill her on the spot. "You will do no such thing. My wolf snarled at me. I could feel her wolf when we found her but because you rejected her, I can't anymore." "She has a wolf?" I asked, surprised. "Yes, she does. You dumb ass. How could you reject mate?" He growled. I ignored and shut my wolf out before he started to lecture me on how I wasn't supposed to reject my mate. He of all people knows why I hated rogues but all of a sudden he wants me to accept Lily. Nothing was going to change my mind. I'd have Valerie as my mate, not one pathetic weak rougue. The only problem I was fighting was the mate bond. It's
Lily’s POVAfter running for about an hour, I stopped to catch my breath under a tree. I sat down and ignored the splinters of dry woods cutting into my skin. I rubbed my wrists together, smiling as the raw bruises had started to heal well. In about two days, there would be no sign that I had an injury there. These are the perks that come with having your wolf. Everything becomes different. Your senses become heightened, you heal faster and become stronger. You just become complete and I was really glad to have my wolf back. My stomach growled in hunger and I realised that I hadn't eaten. "I should have eaten before I left." I muttered to myself standing up and looking for trees with fruits. Few hours later, I hadn't found anything to eat. The fruits I was seeing looked really sus. Either they had a weird shape or colour and I was being careful not to eat something that would take my life. There was no one out there to help me if I got poisoned. It is better to starve than eat some
Lily’s POV "You've been staring at me for a while. Are you going to give me an answer or not?" He said, bringing out a small key and dangling it in my face. "I can unlock these chains and set you free if you want." "How did you get that key? Did Logan send you here to do this on his behalf? Or why exactly are you doing this? Why are you trying to help me?" I asked, curious and confused. "Why are you asking so many questions!?" He sneered as he bent to my level ahd I could tell he was glaring at me behind the mask. "Just answer the damn question with 1 yes or no." "I'll answer after you answer my own questions. You don't just expect me to accept your offer just like that. If I had agreed to say yes, I'm very sure there's a condition attached to it. I want to know why you're helping me and what you want in return.""Oh, nice. You're actually smart. Minutes ago, I thought otherwise. I'm just trying to do you a favour here. With the way the Alpha treats you, I'm sure you're tired of h
Lily's Pov. The room was very hot and I laid in my own sweat and tears. I was sticky all over and I wished I hadn't locked my windows earlier. I perked my ears up whenever I heard a sound, hoping it was Logan coming to free me but it was never him. I have waited for so long and I was starting to get tired. I couldn't just sit and wait, I had to do something. I brought my wrist closer to my mouth, and pulled on the knots of the rope with my teeth, trying to loosen it. It was very uncomfortable and my neck was hurting badly but I still continued to try. I tried to reach my wolf again, so we could combine our strengths and work on escaping together but she didn't respond. I needed my fangs badly and there was no way I could shift without connecting to her. I didn't give up because of that but continued to gnaw on the rope. I didn't know how I was going to escape from the room but I just wanted to be free from the ropes on my wrists. I chomped on the rope harder, ignoring the pain t
Lily’s POV. My wolf whined inside me as different images ran through my mind. "Why is Logan holding chains? What does he plan to do with it?" I asked myself like I didn't know already. I staggered back, hiding myself behind the curtains hoping it would hide me from him. Logan stalked closer to me like I was a prey, his eyes full of anger, disgust and hatred. "Stay away from…me! Stand back!" I stammered weakly but my wolf had other plans. She tried to take control, fangs popping through my gums. She was angry with Logan for protecting another female and also won't allow him to tie her down because of her. Logan dropped the chains he was holding and pulled on my hair, yanking it hard and making me feel a sharp pain in my head. It became worse because I hadn't healed from the first injury. "Listen close to me, rogue wolf, I'm not here to play like that. If you dare try to flash your fangs at me again, I'll tear you so fast into pieces." I forced my wolf back inside of me and my
Lily’s POV We got back to the castle without any of us talking to each other. I was trying to get my mind off the fact that he had sex with Valerie without feeling remorseful while all I felt was pain. How long do I have to deal with this? He doesn't want me but he's keeping me around and messing with my emotions. I hated that mate bond is making things pretty difficult for me because I couldn't get him out of my head. I sniffed, wiping my tears. There's no way I would waste my tears on someone that wasn't worth it. We got to the front of his room only to see Valerie standing there. As soon as she saw me, she smirked at me before running to Logan. She pressed a kiss on his lips, smiling. "Where did you go? I woke up to see that you have left. How could you leave like that after the hot night we spent together. I wasn't even done with you and there's more to come. I'm also sure you want more of me." She purred, rubbing her hands over his chest. My wolf was scratching against me, s
Lily’s POV "What is wrong with you!? Why can't you just listen to me that she has nothing to do with this. I forced her here, so take me instead." "The man who was holding Hannah stood in front of me. How dare you question the Alpha." He snarled and Logan shoved him off, telling him to leave immediately. He glared at me once again before he dragged Hannah with him.I wasn't just going to let him take Hannah with him so I followed them, only for Logan to hold me back. "Let go of me right now! Leave me alone." I screamed, thrashing around but he just flipped me and pinned me to the ground. My face was in the dirt and he held my hands tightly behind me. I cried out, watching the man drag Hannah away with him till they were out of sight. After Logan was sure they were gone, he pulled me back up. "What is wrong with you? Why are you acting up?" "Why did you hold me back?" I sniffed, cleaning my tears. Where did he take Hannah to? Are you going to lock her up and beat her just like you
Lily’s POVI and Hannah both went still as the footsteps got closer. "Didn't you say the soldiers don't reach here when they're on patrol?" I asked, trying to stand up but only for me to realize that I've sprained my ankle. "They don't. They really don't." Hannah replied, rushing to my side to help me up. "You're hurt, you need to sit down and let your leg heal." "I can't! Someone's out there and we don't know who, what if it's a dangerous animal?"Hannah rolled her eyes. "Really? Have you forgotten that we're actual wolves? The 'wild animal’ stands no chance against us. I'll bring it down with a swipe of my claw." "This isn't the right time to joke hannah. We can't be caught or we'll be in trouble." I said, rubbing my forehead. "Why would we be in trouble? It's not like this place is actually out of bounds like the forest next to the training ground. The Alpha would have informed us if he didn't want us to run here." "Hold on. The forest next to the training ground is out of b
Lily’s POVThe night went by pretty fast and that was thanks to Logan's sister who I later found out that her name was Mia. She is the complete opposite of Logan and I felt better after we talked. I wished she could just start living with us in the castle but she told me she couldn't because she had her own park and mate but she promised to visit and check up on me often and I was glad. We couldn't continue our conversation about Logan because Hannah came into the kitchen to start prepping some meals for the day so we had to put a hold to it. I didn't bother going back to my room because I knew that there was no way I was going to sleep after seeing Logan and Valerie have sex so I just joined Hannah in prepping the meals as soon as Mia left. When we finished, Hannah served us some food and asked me to follow her. She led me towards the back door of the kitchen and when she opened it, I saw a number of servants sitting on patches of grass, talking to each other and laughing. They s
Lily’s POVI dragged my feet back to the castle naked, not caring if anyone sees me. I was exhausted from shifting and my body was sore. I forced the thought of how Logan pushed me away like I had acid on my body out of my head. I didn't want to think about it. I got to the front of his room, took in a deep breath and opened it. His scent wasn't strong which meant that he wasn't in the room. I was relieved and disappointed. I shouldn't be, but I was. I quickly had a shower and crawled into my bed but I couldn't sleep. I kept turning and tossing. I was restless. I could tell Logan wasn't back because I left the door of my room opened so I could hear when he walked in."Argh! Why can't I sleep?" I pulled on my hair before pushing the covers off my body and groaned out in frustration before leaving the room to go on a walk, to see if I'd be able to clear my head.I didn't know where I was going because I wasn't totally familiar with the insides. The plan initially was to go to the kit
