This is for my second book, apologies for the mistakenly uploaded chapter
Chapter 1: Getting sold"Daddy please don't let me go to him. I will work hard. I will do every thing else, I will work as your maid, but please not to the alpha", I plead with tears and snort running down my face. My jeans ripped at the knees from kneeling and crawling around to plead with my step father. "Don't you get it? You are just a burden and if you continue to be like this, I will leave you and your mother alone", he spits and drags his pants from my hold. But If I remember vividly well, they were never his, they belonged to my father who died of a stroke two years ago. About the same time I was put into this deep mud of misery. "You bitch, didn't you hear him? Stop begging" mom kicks the maid who was subjected to pedicure and stands up in a jolt. I watch her as she approaches me and even though all hope is lost, the sight of my mother calms me for a brief second. Maybe she would talk to Jeffery to make a compromise. But then, a hot slap lands on the side of my face a
CHAPTER 2 - I FOUND MY TOY. Alpha Warren Lucas's POVI have never hated anything more than this stupid selection I am forced to partake in. For the past five years ever since my twenty fifth birthday and fifty second victory of the fifty two battles that I have gotten into, Nanny Deliana, my grandmother decided that it was the best and only compromise I could make since I didn't have a Luna yet. "You could find a worthy Luna or maybe your mate during it", she had said after threathening me to die without seeing her great grand child. Not like I blame her though, her only son and former alpha had died in an ambush with his wife, leaving me to succeed immediately I clocked eighteen. But I was always ready. I was born and raised as an alpha, so nothing ever proved difficult for me except escaping the topic of getting a mate or at least someone who would bear me a son. "The males in our lineage do not live long. Someone has to succeed you", she would always say and now, here I am be
CHAPTER 3"Heather Rhys Sage!" Godmother calls in a way that makes my heart shake in its rib cage from fear. It's been two weeks. Two weeks since my parents forced me to a new type of hell, one that makes me feel like I will be trapped till forever. One because of the heavy security that sends me back everytime I reach the gate and two because of the mate bond. Everyone seemed to have realized it on that day except for him or was he pretending not to because he was embarrassed of me?And before we had had the chance to even talk, he was out. Out after threatening to break me in a way. Now, I do not know if I ought to be happy or not that he is not back, but then… "Rhys?" She calls me by the name dad used to call me when he was alive, except there is no love in her tone. "Yes godmother?" I answer as I race my way down the stairs, stopping to maintain a steady pace the moment I sight her in her favorite couch in the mini living area. "Don't you feel it? Can't you tell if he's al
CHAPTER 4: "Why do you think I am dressed like this?" She scoffs. The same way she did the time she was bragging about her connections. But I am still confused. "I don't get it", I mutter as I try to conjure the situation. But nothing comes to my head. It still doesn't make any sense. But she seems so smug and proud about it. "This time, I will get the alpha and we will be mates and I will have his son and be his Luna. You are not the only one who knows how to play dress up", she says and I frown as I am more confused. Because it doesn't look like dress up. Right on her shoulder is a red mark shaped like an iron and it looks pretty recent. A wind blows through and she winces in pain. There are bruises on her face too. "So you did all of this to win the alpha's attention and have him sleep with you?" I ask her and she nods, looking quite satisfied with herself. "Yes and it doesn't end there, you put all of this marks on me", she says."No I didn't." Her gaze flickers to the
CHAPTER 5: MARA SEDUCES LUCASAlpha Warren's POVAfter a few moments of trying to relax in the shower and on my bed, I still find myself stuck in my thoughts. Heather couldn't have done that, but grandmother can not possibly be lying to me. She has only ever wanted the best for me and that I found someone to bear a child with which I have done. Everything is fishy and I feel so bad about it. The room is still filled with the scent of Heather from the time she stayed here. I insisted that she be treated in my room, but I doubt if Nanny let her stay if she had those suspicions towards her. The actions and evidence are outrageous and they have left me ever so confused. Then I hear a knock on the door. My heart skips in excitement and anticipation for Heather."Come in", but the sight of the person who enters my room is none other than Mara. I thought she was passed out. Her body is scantily covered and I can see the bruises on her skin as she slowly approaches me with a tray in
CHAPTER 6 - WAKING UP TO A SAD REALITY Heather's POVBeing bullied by my parents in the past made waking up to pain a norm for me, but today's is different. There's an ache in-between my legs that brings memories rushing through my head. As I force myself to sit up and face the mirror on the other side of the wall, I realize how red my face has turned. Although it aches, I know that I would do it again and again if time rewound. The way he touched me and called my name made me feel so beautiful in ways I had never felt before. He said he inched to bite me and mark me but although he didn't, I don't feel bad at all. Him seeking me out to sleep with me and eventually making love to me all night must mean something. It must mean that although he could not fight for me yesterday, he realized how wrong things were and he wanted to make it up to me. He must have realized that we were mates and that he was just too awkward to acknowledge it at first. I'm so glad. I'm so grateful to
CHAPTER 7 - Alpha Warren's POVA week goes by and I must say I have never been torn in between emotions as much as I am with Heather. Most times, she's the woman I want to wrap around and scoop and kiss and fuck and I even get the urge to mark her and make her mine, but the other times, she's talking back to my grandmother and Nanny Deliana is always having to report her to me. Those times just override the good joys and thoughts I have of her which has in fact forced me to ignore her and with everything in me avoid her since the morning I woke up to her in my bed. It's all suspicious. The fact that she keeps trying to see me to plead and explain to me that she's misunderstood while my grandmother says she's the villain. My grandmother will never do anything to hurt me, but this just keeps getting me confused. "Alpha, Heather is here to see you again and she appears even more aggressive than usual", my secretary says as he hands me an iPad with a live security feed. One of Hea
CHAPTER 8 - betrayal in guilt Alpha Warren's POVShe looks helpless, defenseless and so vulnerable and it feels like deja vu all over. I'm back to the first time I laid my eyes on her. When she looked so weak over the shoulders of the soldier that carried her into the palace. Limp and extremely vulnerable and again, she has my attention. My undivided attention as she doesn't try to defend herself like the other times rather her eyes and full gaze are on me and piercing into my soul. Without words I can hear her pleas. Plea for me to remember something, a plea for me to fight for her, a plea for me to do something.And I try, I will myself to try very hard to remember what it is that I have to, my mind travels back to that morning when I woke up naked beside her. That morning still puzzles me, I still wonder what happened that morning. Had we really slept together? No, I disregard that thought immediately, because if she is really the woman my grandmother paints her to be, the
