third chapter

POV Lily

My  body ached from hours of relentless crying as the sound of the door  unlocking echoed through my room. My mother entered with weary, sunken  eyes, followed by my father and a colossal alpha I had never seen before  in our pack.

"Take her away," my father ordered, his voice cold and detached.

The  man approached me, gripping my arms tightly and forcefully, leading me  through the darkened corridors of the house toward the waiting carriage  outside.

"Father, please, don't do this to me!" I pleaded desperately, my voice trembling.

"Hurry up!" he barked at the alpha, turning away, as if unwilling to face the consequences of his decision.

"Please, I want to marry Ethan. Don't snatch away my only chance at happiness!" I screamed, my voice choked with emotion.

He dragged me along, and no matter how hard I fought, his strength overwhelmed me. His menacing red eyes filled me with terror.

"Help! Someone, please help me!" I cried out once more, my breaths coming in ragged gasps.

"Shut up, you worthless creature!" the alpha growled, throwing me into the carriage with force.

As  the alpha secured me inside with silver chains, I spotted Ethan in the  crowd. My heart leaped with a mix of relief and fear. I knew he would do  anything to save me, but against an alpha like this, he didn't stand a  chance.

"Ethan, help me!" I called desperation in my voice.

Confusion  and anger flashed across Ethan's face as he rushed toward us. But  before he could reach me, the alpha moved with supernatural speed,  intercepting him with brutal force, and sending him crashing to the  ground.

"Ethan, run! Save yourself!" I pleaded, fear for his safety overriding any concern for myself.

He  struggled to his feet, a fierce determination in his eyes, but the odds  were stacked against him. The alpha's cronies swarmed around Ethan,  delivering blow after blow, and he was overwhelmed.

The  alpha sneered at me, seeing the despair in my eyes, and callously  commanded his men to deal with Ethan. As they dragged him away, my heart  broke for him. He was risking everything for me, and I felt helpless,  unable to protect him.

"Remember  this moment, Lily Brooks," the alpha sneered as the carriage doors  closed, "because this is the last time you'll see him."

The  carriage jolted into motion, carrying me away from everything I knew  and loved. The tears kept flowing, and as I clung to the faint hope of  escape, my heart whispered Ethan's name, praying that somehow, against  all odds, we would be reunited again------------------

"Lily  Brooks!"  I heard Ethan's voice calling me and a spark of hope rose  within me, "I'll find you, I won't give up on the promise I made to you,  that day I declared my love!"  Ethan said with a bruised body.

The  alpha carrying me laughed at the situation.  With teary eyes, I smiled  weakly.  Inside, I asked the moon goddess for us to meet again so we  could live our love.

-----------------

I  was walking through the dark forest with my dress covered in mud. The  moon shone beautifully, and the alpha followed closely behind me,  watching with malicious intent. My body trembled from the cold, and fear  of what might happen in that place consumed me.

"I'm sorry for your situation," he said in a lecherous tone.

I looked at him suspiciously and started to walk faster to keep him from catching up to me.

"It's such a waste to do this to a girl like you," he licked his lips, eyeing my exposed body.

Looking  around, I saw that I was alone. My only chance of escape was to run,  but my legs were tired, and fear held me back as my breaths became  shallow.

"Don't worry, princess, we're just going to have a little fun," he said, approaching me.

"Don't come near me!" I screamed as I ran as fast as I could, my swollen feet struggling with each step.

The alpha grabbed me by the hair, pulling me forcefully, causing pain to shoot through me as I let out a desperate cry for help.

"Someone, please help me!"

He held me tighter, pressing his body against mine, rubbing himself against me, and kissing my neck roughly.

"Let go of me!"

I struggled, trying to push him away, feeling repulsed by his actions.

"Don't be a fool; no one will hear you!" he laughed loudly.

As  he was about to lift my dress and unzip his pants, we heard the sound  of something being hurled in our direction a massive tree trunk. The  alpha's eyes widened upon hearing it, and he quickly moved away from me,  his face now filled with fear.

Suddenly,  a guttural growl echoed through the forest, freezing my heart. I looked  around, trying to locate the source of the sound, and then I saw him. A  massive beast emerged from the shadows in his wolf form. His eyes were  fiery orbs that stared intensely into my soul. He was furious, and I  couldn't tell if I was his target or if he was after the alpha who had  captured me.

Before  I could process what was happening, the alpha who held me was struck  with overwhelming force. The beast pounced on him, his sharp claws  tearing into the alpha's skin as he screamed in pain and terror. The  attack was swift and merciless, and within seconds, the alpha lay dead  on the blood-soaked ground.

My  body trembled, unsure if I should feel relieved or more afraid. The  enormous wolf turned to me, his eyes still ablaze, and I thought he  might kill me next.

"You're safe now. No one will hurt you," the beast established a telepathic connection with me.

I  wanted to believe his words, but my heart raced, and the situation kept  me on edge. Suddenly, everything around me blurred, my body felt weak,  and my eyelids heavy. I saw a black figure leaping toward me, and then I  blacked out, losing consciousness.

"Don't  worry.... now you belong to me, little omega" These were the last words  I heard before I felt something holding me with its icy hands.
