CHAPTER FIVE | THE INITIATION
ALENAWe are on our way back to the pack house, I'm currently sitting as far away from Nathan as I can. The waves of anger rolling off him right now can make the bravest of men go crying home to their mommy. He hasn't said a word since we got into the car.I'm extremely scared right now. I feel like he's too busy cooking something evil up to scold me. I guess it's the calm before the storm.I try to distract myself by looking at things around me. I notice that a few slick cars are in our front and at our back. They seem to be Nathan's bodyguards. Gosh! This dude is extremely rich.I notice it the moment I regained consciousness. Anyone who has ever been into the pack house would know that the pack is a wealthy one. The clothes he wears alone basically scream wealth. I guess he couldn't have climbed up the ladder of Fame without wealth, he must have used his riches to win the hearts of a lot of Alphas and to become the most powerful Alpha in the world.I snap out of my thoughts when the car stops directly in front of the pack house entrance. Nathan gets down and starts walking off. I sit still in the car, not wanting to go inside and face the punishment that I know is inevitable.Nathan takes a few steps before he notices that I'm not following him. He immediately turns and comes back to the car to get me. He forcefully grips my hands and drags me out of the car like a rag doll.I've never ever felt as miserable as I feel right now in all twenty-two years of my existence.Together with his bodyguards, we all go into the pack house. The pack house is bustling as people move from up and down. It seems like there is an event going on. As we pass by, everyone stops and bows to the Alpha while bending their necks a little as a show of respect.In our world, it's mandatory for all wolves, young or old to bow down and show the Alphas their neck as a sign of respect and submission. Any wolf that doesn't bow is considered rebellious and would be severally punished for it.We keep walking until we reach the entrance of a room that I've never been to and one of the guards pushes the doors open. I'm shocked to see women with lots of makeup items and a lot of ball dresses on display.Nathan pushes me to the hands of a female who looks like she's in her early 40s. She takes me and sits me down in front of a mirror. She immediately starts doing weird things to my hair. It feels like I'm being prepared for a pageant. When she's done a young female proceeds to apply makeup on my face.The process continues for almost an hour before it's finally complete. I try taking a look at myself in the mirror but I am not allowed to.I'm really lost right now. I don't know why I'm here right now or for what reason I'm being dressed up for. I'm scared of asking Nathan cause I don't know what his reaction will be.After the very unnecessary makeover, Nathan takes me back into his arms gently. He looks at me as if I'm meat and he's a he is a wolf that has been starved for days.Looking up at him, I expect him to compliment me, the way normal wolfs will probably do to their mates, but to my utter surprise, his face is back to his impassive look. He links his muscular arms with mine and we walk out of the makeup room and down the hall.We walk through a corridor and stop at huge two huge doors. Nathan takes hold of my shoulders and turns me around until I'm facing him.“Whatever you do, do not embarrass me. Do whatever you are asked to do and don't talk to anyone without my permission. Don't leave my side for anything." I stare at him like he has two heads.Is he being serious right now, he doesn't even have the decency to tell me what is going on right now or where he is taking me too. Does he think that I am a puppet? Does he think that he gets to treat me however he likes just because I'm his mate? I am not going to let him treat me less than I am worth, even if I am scared shitless of him.With this resolution in mind, I forcefully brush his hands off my shoulders.“What the hell is going on?" I asked while taking two steps away from him.“You are going to be initiated into the pack today."“What the hell do you mean by initiation? I never signed up for any initiation." I yelled in anger.Usually, when a werewolf wants to join a new pack or is trying to exchange packs, he or she applies for it and the Beta of the pack checks if they are worthy enough to join the pack. Then, they get an official invitation from the Beta. After, they take an exam and if they pass, they take a physical test. If they pass all, they are officially initiated through the initiation ceremony.“You are my mate, which automatically makes you the Luna of this pack. Usually, when a female is mated to someone in our pack, the initiation is skipped and they automatically become pack members. Since you were a rogue, you have to be initiated before you take the position of the Luna." he explains to me like I'm a child who doesn't understand English.“I don't want to be a member of your pack and I sure as hell don't want to become the Luna of your pack. Just reject me and let me go" I say pleadingly.If I get initiated right now, It won't be easy for me to ever leave the pack again. I don't want that, I want to leave and never return.Instead of replying, my mate rolls his eyes and pulls me close until I feel his breath on my face.“You will go in there and do whatever you are asked to do by the Beta. You will swear an oat, become my Luna and stay by my side for the rest of your life...or should I say our lives." He says with finality.To scared to refuse, I nod my head furiously.It's funny how a minute ago, I was saying that I will stand up to him and now I am shaking like a leaf on water. I guess I'm all bark and no bite.“I expect verbal answers from you, cause the last I checked you weren't dumb"“ Y...yess Sir" I replied like a dog scared of its master.Goddess! I am really pathetic.He takes my hand gently again and pushes the gigantic doors open.My breath is knocked out of me when I take in the huge number of werewolves in the hall. We are at the top of the stairs that lead to a grand ballroom. The room is already filled with different types of wolves, new and old.I've never been exactly great with crowds. Back then, when my old pack still existed, I was always expected to attend any gatherings since I was the daughter of an Alpha. My parents knew how uncomfortable I get in crowds but still forced me to go anyway. When I became a rogue, I thought that I was finally free from having to deal with shit like this only to be thrown into a much worse situation.Bloodmoon make is a much larger pack than my former pack. In comparison with the Bloodmoon pack, my former pack was like a bunch of ants. Not only are the pack members muscular and huge, but they also look extremely strong and vicious. I wish the ground would open up and swallow me when a very attractive but muscular man starts coming our way. It looks like he is heading straight to me and Alpha Nathan. The power that radiates from him makes me conclude that he is the Beta of the pack. He looks like he would brake me into two with his fingers alone.I try hiding at Nathan's back only for him to push me forward and hold my hands more tightly. I guess there's no running away or hiding for me.On reaching us, the Beta bows down to Nathan and I am transferred from Nathan's hand to his Beta's. No words are spoken as I am taken directly to the middle of the ballroom. On getting there, I notice that other pack members are beginning to form a huge circle around me and the Beta. The invitation ceremony starts and I have no choice but to swear an oath of loyalty to the Bloodmoon pack.I'm officially a member of the Bloodmoon pack. After the oat, I'm immediately connected to the pack link. I can now communicate with any pack member of my choice through the link. Rogue's don't have any connections to other wolves so it's kind of weird to feel the ability to mind-link others.Alpha Nathan takes my hand and starts introducing me to other important members of the pack. He officially Introduces me to his Beta, Caleb, his Gamma, Ralph, and the pack's chief warrior, Lucinda.I am shocked to find out that the head of their pack warriors is a female. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with it, but it's very rear to see a female in a high position in our world. Usually, females are considered pup-making machines and nothing else. Unlike the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma positions, the position of the head warrior is not based on inheritance. Lucinda must have earned that position with determination and hard work. I wish I am like her.I guess one of the reasons the Bloodmoon pack is the best is that it gives equal opportunities to both males and females.When the ceremony is officially over, Nathan and I walk hand in hand out of the ballroom. A lot of people greet me, wondering who the strange lady beside their Alpha is.Since he hasn't marked me yet, I can't take over the position of the Luna of the pack.We walk through the mansion and to my surprise, walk past the room I was kept in before. Thinking that Nathan wants to change my room because of the stunt I pulled earlier, I say nothing. I notice we are walking outside the pack house and towards a house adjacent to the pack house.At first, I think nothing of it until I see some guards carrying a bloody and unconscious man into the house. Upon entering, it's brought to my notice that it's more like a prison cell than a house.As we walked further into the place, I see a lot of people there, ranging from women to children and lots of men. I'm dumbfounded when I see a girl no other than 5 years inside a cell with an older woman. My heart aches at the sight.“Nathan, what are these people doing here?" I finally asked the words that has been stuck in my throat since our arrival.“These men and women are here for the same reason you are here right now" he replies without spearing me a glance.“What exactly am I here for?" I inquire with a confused expression on my face.“What kind of memory do you have? I won't be surprised if it's you have a goldfish memory, I won't fucking put it past you."I ignore his insults and look in the opposite direction.I search my brain trying to see if I had done anything to annoy him during the mating ceremony but came back blank.We get to the end of the cell's corridor where an empty cell is facing us directly. Nathan digs into his pockets and brings out a bunch of keys. He unlocks the cell but stops me from getting inside.To my shock, Nathan bends down and picks me up bridal style. I'm so startled that I let out a shriek.He carries me and lays me down on a straw bed that feels like it was specially made for a very small animal.“Nathan! Who the fuck permitted you to touch me and why the hell did you bring me here?" I yelled in absolute fury.Instead of answering my questions like a sane and normal person would do, Nathan fully ignores me and instead, decide to stare at me like I am a really expensive painting of himself. He continues to stare at me for a few minutes as he stretches his hands forward and strokes my face. He sure loves doing that.“Oh, babe! You really didn't think you could defy me and get away with it did you?"Oh shit, I was so caught up in the initiation ceremony that I totally forget about my earlier failed attempt at escaping. He really meant it when he said I was going to regret it didn't he?“Oh come on Nathan, you should get over it. It is in the past now as I'm now officially a member of your pack. We both know it won't be easy for me to leave your pack now?" I say while laughing nervously.Nathan really freaks me out, one moment he is nice and the next, he is acting like a crazed man.“You will stay here until I feel like letting you out. You should count yourself lucky, the only reason you are here and not back in the dungeons is because you are now a member of my pack."Saying this, he stands up and try's leaving, but I hold unto his legs.“Nathan, you can't do this, I'm your mate. Whatever I feel is what you feel." I'm using the ‘i'm your mate card' because it's the only reason he may let me go.“Exactly, what you feel is what I feel, being in pain will strengthen our bond. As they say, no pain, no gain." Saying this, he gets up and leaves without sparing me another glance. I hear the “Click" sound that signifies that the door had been locked.“No food for her until I say so." I hear Nathan order a guard outside before everything becomes silent.What kind of psychopath did the moon goddess mate me with? He is willing to feel pain just to teach me a lesson. I'm starting to think he is a masochist.CHAPTER SIX | THE PUNISHMENTALENAIt's been two years since Nathan locked me up in the cell. My hair started falling out in the first year of my imprisonment. I look skeletal since I haven't been given anything to eat for years. I have lost all hope of seeing the sun again, I don't have much more time to live. I have given up on ever having anything to eat again, I...“Would you just shut the fuck up, we have only been here for a few hours. Stop being so fucking dramatic." my wolf angrily yells while rolling her wolfy eyes at me. Unbelievable, my own wolf is cursing at me, her owner. I know we have only been in here for a few hours, but I got bored and decided to entertain myself by being dramatic.“Are you not supposed to support me on this, our mate locked us up and all you are concerned about is my dramatics. I'm starting to think that you love our mate more than you love me." I reply out loud since no one else can hear me.“Of cause I love our mate more than you, he is my mate af
CHAPTER SEVEN | HEAT IS A BITCHALENA I wake up the next morning with an intense headache, I feel like my head is about to fall off my body. Too weak to stand up, I stay still on the straw bed hoping and praying Nathan would have changed his mind about keeping me locked up. I really don't feel good and the heat in the cell is making matters worse. I can't seem to pay attention to anything around me, all I can pay attention to is the uncomfortable heat I'm feeling right now. Sitting up, I let out a long sigh. My skin is sticky and hot, making me groan as I try to cool off. Tying my hair in a bun, I lean on the wall. I feel suffocated. The heat spreads through my body and I can feel my skin getting red. Soon, it becomes unbearable, causing me to shed my clothes. I feel suffocated and I try gasping for breaths. Though it is to no avail because I can't seem to catch my breath. Staying still for a few moments, I trying to get the heat off my mind, but alas, it was still all I can th
CHAPTER EIGHT | BAD MATE NATHANI knew my mate was in heat the moment I woke up this morning. I never wanted her to sleep in that fucking cell last night, I had it in mind to release her. I couldn't because I was called for an emergency meeting.Some stupid rogues thought they could break into my territory and do whatever the hell they wanted, It was only fair that I showed them why they shouldn't ever fuck with my pack. I really feel like an asshole for letting her experience her first heat in a cell. Scratch that, I know I am a fucking asshole. I have been treating her like shit since the moment she stepped into my territory. I knew my mate was in my territory the moment she stepped in, but since I already met her two years before, I also knew that she was the only offspring of Caleb and Ava king. Even with the knowledge that she was my mate, I still let her get treated like other rogues. Not exactly like order rogues though, I didn't kill her immediately, so I'll say I treated
CHAPTER NINE | NAUGHTY GIRL ALENAAfter hours of sleeping, I finally woke up some minutes ago. Fortunately for me, my heat has subsided, but unfortunately for me, I still feel extremely horny. I still crave the touch of my mate, even though he rejected me the first time. I lay silently on my bed while facing up.Goddess! How can a person be so good-looking? He makes me want to reap off my clothes and just let him use me as he pleases. As I continue thinking of my mate and my newly found attraction to him, I start feeling the heat spread through my body again. Great! The second phase of my heat.Shit! I barely survived the first phase of my heat and the second is already knocking at the door.Knowing that my mate is not going to show up to help me out, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I get off the bed and take off my clothes, which just happen to be Nathan's jacket. I smile widely, knowing that this would definitely help me and my wolf get better. Since Nathan does
CHAPTER TEN | COCK BLOCKING RESPONSIBILITIESNATHANWe are both painfully still as my lips touch the spot I am supposed to mark. The urge to mark her is so strong that I have to close my eyes to regain my senses for a second. I move down and kiss her inner thigh, her chest raising and falling rapidly as she gasps for breath. I stop when I reach the place she wants me the most. I won't give her what she wants, not until she begs for it. I start kissing her stomach and move upwards until my mouth meets hers. I press my lips against her, finally releasing the tension that has been building since the first phase of her heat. I can't believe I am kissing her.It was never my plan to kiss her, not less touch her. Hell, I wasn't even planning on speaking to her. I only came to her room to check on her. The moment I saw her pleasuring herself while moaning out my name, my self-control was shattered into tiny little pieces. I knew then and there that I wasn't going to leave the room with
CHAPTER ELEVEN | THE AFTERMATHALENAHe left. I can't believe he just fucking left in the middle of me blowing him off. He just fucking left, no explanation, no nothing. Hell, he didn't even spare me another glance. I honestly had it in mind to follow him and demand why the hell he would just get up and leave like that, but my horny ass had other plans. I was so turned on by sucking Nathan off that I had to touch myself and get myself off before going after my mate. My pleasure is my priority.I practically shake in anger as I walk through the halls of the pack house. I am on my way to tearing Nathan into pieces for leaving when we were supposed to get intimate. I don't know where I am heading since I currently have a clue about where he is. All I know is that I'm going to find him and when I do, I'll make sure he fuck's me. If that doesn't work, then I will move to my next plan. Begging him to fuck me. Even after three orgasms, I am still really desperate to feel him inside
CHAPTER TWELVE | RAGEALENAEven a blind person would be able to see the love in Nathan's eyes as he stares at her like she's the only thing in the world worth seeing. The love in his eyes as her looks at her can not be mistaken.I can barely register the whimper and growl that vibrates from my chest as my wolf fights for control.Everything now makes perfect fucking sense.Nathan refuses to accept me as his mate because he is in love with another woman. A woman that unfortunately for him and fortunately for me was not ordained to be his mate.This must have been the reason Nathan wasn't affected by the smell of my arousal, during the two days of my heat.This is why he refuses to claim me. This is why he won't mark and mate with me.All the respect I have for Lucinda suddenly vanishes into thin air within seconds.When I was first introduced to her, I was amazed and impressed by her position as the pack head warrior. The confidence that seemed to have been rolling off her in waves mad
CHAPTER THIRTEEN | REGRETALENAMy head is throbbing and my muscles are aching. It feels like I travelled throughout the world on foot. My legs are so sore that I am sure I won't be able to get up from the hospital bed.I woke up some minutes ago and found myself in a hospital bed. Not just any hospital, but the same one I got admitted into when Nathan stabbed me.This should be the part where the same doctor that treated me last time comes in and confesses his undying love for me. Then I will find out that Nathan isn't my true mate but used a love potion on me because he fell madly in love with me two years ago.“It was love at first sight," he would say to me.Then Nathan would become the villain of the story and try to kill me and my true mate. I would sacrifice my life for the doctor and get killed instead. Then the moon goddess would be moved by the love I have for my mate and grant me ten more lives. Then I and my true mate would leave happily ever after.I sigh as I imagine how
