Leaning against the wall of the factory where I worked, I tried to catch my breath but I knew I couldn't stop even for a second. If I got caught, my wage would be deducted and I couldn't afford that. I needed every single penny I could get my hands on. The deafening roar of machines filled the air as I assembled iron parts at lightning speed. The monotonous routine left my hands calloused and my back aching, the constant fear of accidents or losing a limb haunting me every moment. I glanced at my old, wristwatch that had so many cracks, I could barely see what was written on it anymore. And it was time to head over to my other job.I wrapped up everything quickly and walked towards my boss who was sitting on a chair and counting money. He looked up at me, took out a couple of dollar bills, and tossed them on the table without a word. He was always all about his money and business. I took it and darted out of the factory. The cold air immediately hit my skin and I sighed in relief contrary to the hot and loud environment of the factory. The moon was high up in the sky tonight and under its gentle glow, the streets transformed into different colors of mesmerizing lights illuminating the bustling streets.It was a beautiful night but as usual, the rush of my job didn't allow me to enjoy the breathtaking view. I hurried over to the diner where I worked as a waitress. The door dinged when I pulled it open."You are two minutes late. Get dressed and get to work immediately," my boss ordered as soon as I stepped in."I'm sorry," I apologized hurriedly moving over to the back of the diner where all the employees changed to their work clothes. Rushing out, I walked from table to table, taking orders and serving hot greasy food to customers. The tips I got were often meager, at times, there were no tips at all. My stomach grumbled repeatedly due to hunger, my feet throbbed from hours of standing but I ignored all the pain. This has been my life for the past two years since I finished high school.These jobs were my way of survival and I thought it was also going to help me through college after two years of working but I was met with the biggest disappointment of my life when I found out all the money I saved was all gone, taken by my mum. Normal kids wouldn't worry about their parents taking their money or things but mine was a completely different scenario. The pain of having a mother who was consumed by alcohol and drug addiction was a heavy burden to bear. My mum, who should have been a source of guidance and support, had become a relentless storm in my life. All she ever thought about was the desperation of how and where to get her next drink.Her priorities were painfully clear: drugs and alcohol came first, and my well-being was an afterthought. But I had gotten used to it all, I had found a way to survive all on my own at a very young age and it didn't bother me anymore that she didn't care about me, I had given up on the longing that always remained unfulfilled. But my dreams of going to college, of pursuing a better life, were shattered as I realized my mum's actions. The money I had diligently saved, toiling during night and day was taken by her to fuel her addiction. Each dollar meant for my education vanished into the bottom of a liquor bottle or a syringe, leaving my dreams in ruins.However, I didn't give up. No, I couldn't give up. Giving up would mean saying goodbye to the better life I want for myself. It would mean saying goodbye to my dreams and aspirations. It would mean never getting out of this hellhole after everything I had been through and I couldn't accept that. I was going to keep working hard and I was sure that one day, all my dreams would finally come through and this part of my life would be like a terrible nightmare. I was finally done with my shift and my job for the day. I changed back into my clothes and dragged my tired, aching feet out of the diner.Buses were a luxury I couldn't afford to take daily. So, I quickened my pace towards the direction of my home. Could I call it my home? It was just a shelter I lived in with a stranger that I couldn't recognize. On my way home, I caught sight of two girls giggling and sharing opinions on what they should eat. My lips twitched as I stared at them. They looked like college students and I envied them greatly. I didn't have any friends due to my busy schedule. The ones I had when I was in high school got tired of my daily schedule because I never had time to spend with them. As time went by, we slowly drifted apart. I'm sure they don't remember they ever met someone like me.The girls caught me staring at them and they weirdly looked at me. I averted my gaze and continued walking. I got to the house soon enough and the lights outside were on for the first time ever. I saw a sleek luxurious car parked at the entrance of the house. I frowned wondering if I was in the wrong place but the countless empty bottles of alcohol on the waste bin told me otherwise. I opened the door and stepped in. Surprisingly, the living room was completely clean. There was no sign of alcohol or smoke in the air. I wondered what was going on."You are back," I heard her usual unfeeling and detached voice. She was impeccably dressed in clean clothes and didn't look as pale or frail as she used to but that wasn't what caught my attention. My attention was drawn to the tall man who seemed to be towering over me with well-defined muscles. His steel-like grey eyes took me in slowly piercing every spot it stopped. His jawline was chiselled framing a face that radiated seriousness and authority. He was a man of daunting presence, his physical features exuding an intimidating and domineering aura that demanded immediate attention and respect. I knew he wasn't any ordinary man but who was he and what was he doing here?"You are going with him. You belong to him now," she said. I turned towards her in surprise because her words didn't make any sense. What was she talking about all of a sudden?"Pack your things and let's leave. I have other important things to do," he said to me in a cold, husky, and deep voice that made me flinch. His words carried a commanding presence that left an indelible mark on me making it unequivocally clear that he was a force to be respected and feared."Mate!" my wolf suddenly growled catching me off guard. I stumbled backward in shock."What are you still doing here? I already packed your stuff. Leave with him because you have no other choice," she declared picking up an envelope filled with cash with a wide smile. "I sold you to him. He owns you now," she deadpanned."W..what?" I stuttered, I was tongue-tied and unable to speak. My eyes widened and my body felt like it was frozen momentarily as the gravity of the situation sank in. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was sold to a total stranger who also happened to be my mate. Was this perhaps another one of my nightmares?Alpha Leo's POV Things between Sophia and I have been shaky for the past few days. The dream had refused to leave my mind and it was the only thing I thought about all day. She had noticed it and tried to reach out to me a few times but the only thing I could do was to shut her out. I decided to go and see one of my father's oldest friends, Lady Willow. She was a good witch and a good woman. We were lucky to have her around as kids as she was a bright light in our dark lives. "Where are you going to?" Sophia barked at me. "I'm going out. I have to see someone" I said as calmly as I could. I was beginning to get too bothered about the disappearance of Maria. I could have sworn that I did not feel this way before. "Where are you going to?" She asked me, studying me carefully. "I just said I'm going out, I have someone I need to see" I snapped at her, angry that she was asking me so many questions. "You said that already and I asked again. Who are you going to see?" She asked and I
Maria's POV It wasn't hard to find my way to the clinic the next day. I had a lot I wanted to talk about with Elvira. The nightmare I had was heavy on my mind but I needed to ask her if she could help me return the Alpha's staff of authority. It didn't take long for me to get to the clinic, but I hesitated before knocking on Elvira's door. "Come in" her cool voice invited me in. Without any more hesitation, I turned the lock and eased the door open. Her office had a strong smell of antiseptic, one that made me gag. "Oh, Maria. I was not expecting you so soon. Is everything okay with you and the baby?" She asked, pointing to the seat in front of her. "I am fine. I've just been having the backache I kept complaining to you about, it seems to be getting worse" I said to her, hoping that she didn't see through me. "Alright. I'll give you a painkiller to help with the pain but it all boils down to you resting and sleeping a lot. You are entering your third trimester, it's the last hur
Alpha Leo's POV My chest was clogged tight when I woke up. I had a dream, a bad one. It was not pleasant at all and even after I had woken up, the fear still carried with me. In that dream, I had seen a silver wolf driving a sword right through my chest. It had felt so real that there was a dull pain right at the spot that the sword had gone right through. "What are you doing awake?" Sophia's voice came to me from the dark, apparently my jerking awake had also woken her up too. "Did I wake you?" I asked, not knowing what else to say since I couldn't tell her the dream I had. "Yes, you did. But that was not the question I asked" she said and I shook my head to rid myself of the thoughts of the dream. It didn't work. "I had a dream. It woke me up. Sorry, that woke you up" I answered and turned my back to her to sleep. "What dream did you have?" She asked and turned on the bedside lamps. I squinted my eyes to adjust to the sudden influx of light in the room. She had sat up and was
Maria's POV "She must be sent away, I don't care what happens. You have to send her away. I can't believe you would stall in doing this?" I heard Elizabeth's sharp voice. I had followed Alpha Elijah back to the palace because he had forgotten his scepter. It was embarrassing that I had run into them like this, especially since I knew that Elizabeth was talking about him throwing me out of the palace. It was all too much. I wanted to just catch a break and it seemed as if I kept moving from a bad place to worse. It was already enough that I was pregnant for a man who wouldn't even look at me, I had fallen prey to a deranged pervert Alpha who only wanted to do whatever he could to sleep with me. Now, finally, in a place where I should get breathing space, I was still plagued by a woman that I had done absolutely nothing but exist to. "You can't ask me for such a thing. She is under my protection as a pack member now. You should know me better than that" I heard Alpha Elijah's reassu
Alpha Felix's POV "What are you doing here?" I barked at Maya as she made her way into my chambers. I had specifically asked the guards not to let anyone in as I wanted to be alone. I had not expected the disappearance of Maria to affect me the way it did. I felt mostly regret, wishing that I had taken what I wanted when it was still within my reach. Now, she was gone and she probably hated me too. "I came to help you." She said and I noticed that her protruding belly was now flat and had lost some of its firmness. "What happened to your pregnancy?" I asked and she smiled sinisterly. "I got rid of it. Figured it was standing in my way, Moreover, I would not want to have the baby of a cheater and a user like Dexter" she said, her tone hard and icy with no sign of remorse. "You got rid of your child?" I asked, refusing to believe this cold-hearted person in front of me. "Don't act so shocked about it. The head maid has done the same for you several times. You must have been too in
Maria's POV Alpha Elijah had given me my own place and gotten me a job in the clinic. I loved what I did now and hoped that I could start my life afresh here. Elizabeth didn't like me and so far, she made it very clear to me that she didn't like me. I tried to stay away from her as much as possible and even deliberately avoided Alpha Elijah."How are you enjoying the clinic?" Elvira asked me as I made my way to the canteen to have lunch. "It's going on well. I'm really grateful you took me in to work here. I don't think I would have survived anywhere else" I said thankfully and she laughed. "Look, your pregnancy is already 6 months. You need to relax more and work less now. I know you only just started work here and you are supposed to be on probation for the first three months but I am going to ease the burden of work for you. You will still be getting your full pay too" Elvira said and I felt my eyes water with tears. I remembered Maya and how she had been nice to me too before
Alpha Leo's POVThe drive to where I had first met her refused to leave my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about her innocent face and how she had refused to go with me. It wasn't until we got to my pack that I had to grudgingly look forward to being inside her. Going back to those moments now, I wish that I had offered more than the pain she had come to associate with me. "Sir, we are here," my driver said and I looked at my environment to see that we were packed outside Maria's previous house. Her mother had been too eager to sell her off, offering her naive daughter as a breeder for a few thousand of money. It disgusted me now and I kept wondering how I had not thought about this before. I got out of the sleek car, catching a reflection of myself in the window. I looked worn out, and even though I had not been stressing myself and made conscious efforts to rest, the weight loss and stress continued to take their toll on me. Maria's mother was in her living room with two men on e
Maria's POV It has been three days since I regained consciousness. So far, everyone has been very kind to me and the Alpha has not shown any signs of being a creep yet. Everything was going smoothly so far, in fact, I was healing so nicely that I could take a stroll by the end of the third day. "How are you doing today?" The alpha asked me and I beamed at him. He has been coming to check on me every day for the past three days. I had even begun to look forward to his visits. "I am doing very well Alpha. Welcome" I said and made to stand up, but he quickly waved his hands at me, motioning for me to not bother doing that. "Thank you. Elvira said you are healing nicely. I take it that you feel the same way?" he asked me, his eyes filled with genuine concern. "Yes, everything is healing nicely. I can barely feel the pain in my head. It comes and goes now" I explained to him, excited to share the details of my day with him. There was how he made me feel, he made me feel safe. It was
Alpha Felix's POV I grabbed her legs, I didn't even wait to think about it before I delved for her. She had some explaining to do and there was no way I would let her get the easy way out. "You are not dying today" I muttered as I removed the rope from her neck and carried her down. She was coughing violently and I could see how red and bulky her eyes were. "Just let me die" she cried but I took her to the chair and carefully strapped her in. She had a lot to tell me and it would be better for her if she just started talking already. Her eyes were filled with shock when I secured her tightly to the chair with the same rope that she had been trying to use to kill herself. "What are you doing?" She asked me, her eyes were clear and devoid of the pitiful demeanor that she had been wearing since Maria escaped from my hands. "I am sure that you are not blind, so you can see what I am doing is tying you to a chair" I responded, my tone cold and calm, almost like I wasn't planning to to
