Maya POV
I don't know how long I have been out but one thing is for sure, if I don't get back at this time, then I was going to get it from Regina. Worst would be her running her mouth to the alpha, her lover about me escaping my duties.Although the woods give me peace and the tranquillity I crave for, I know I can't continue reeling in the serenity of the quietness of the forest and the fresh air filling my lungs, reminding me that I was still alive.Taking one last longing look to the peaceful forest and taking a deep breath, I stand up and head back to the packhouse.Before we get too far into the story,let me introduce myself.My name is Maya Reed and I am the personal slave to the Alpha of Blue moon pack, Alpha Logan Davidson.Logan and I are fated mates. The moon goddess chose us for each other.I was only eighteen years old when I learnt that Logan was my mate. Imagine how happy I was after I identified him as my mate.Every werewolf gets excited after hitting eighteen years and I was no different.I knew that I would get to meet my mate after my eighteenth birthday and I did.But what I anticipated to be pure bliss turned out to be my nightmare.The mate I so wanted to meet rejected me, saying he couldn't take a weak Omega like me for a Luna.That I was like a plague and I didn't deserve to stand next to him.As if that wasn't enough, he declared he already had a beloved. The woman who he was going to marry and make her his Luna.My heart shattered to pieces as the only hope I had of ever leaving this hellhole escaped me.From what I was told, I was picked up in the woods by the former Luna, half dead.Nobody knows where I come from or who my parents are.I was fifteen years old when I was picked up and brought to the Blue Moon pack.Don't mistake Luna's act as kindness, no,I was brought here not as a member of the pack but as a slave.I lived with the other slaves in the pack doing all sorts of hard labour.I was really excited that after I found my mate, he would take me away from here, away from this hellhole. But alas! That was nothing but a dream and the reality smacked me hard in the face.I believed that once I found him, I wouldn't have to worry about waking up at five in the morning to scrub dirty floors or do the laundry.But my excitement turned into disappointment. With a mate who hated me for no apparent reason, could I be any less hopeless?It was better when I hadn't been identified as the Alpha's mate because after that, my life turned from bad to worse. At least before that, I was only a slave who was looked down upon just like the others but after that, I was reduced to nothing but a hated Omega slave.I became the target of Regina's bullying.She would ask me to do humiliating things for her.Imagine asking me to clean their bed which had traces of their sex Left behind in every corner.That was not all,she would physically abuse me and even ask the Alpha to lock me to the dungeons even without doing anything wrong. My existence alone was enough to anger her, my presence enough to evoke deep feelings of loathe and disgust.That's how I managed to live my two years here in this Pack.I wanted nothing else but to get the hell out of this place, but where was I supposed to go.I knew nobody beyond the pack Lands and running away would definitely turn me into a rogue.That's the worst fate a werewolf could find himself or herself in.Rogues had no place in the werewolf world.It didn't matter whether you were a good wolf or a bad one.Once they capture you, you sure would experience hell down on earth.Your limbs would be severed and your skin peeled off you.Just thinking about it, sends goosebumps all over my body.I still wanted my limbs intact so I dared not run away.To me, it was better to suffer in the hands of Regina than to be captured and tortured or have my head cut.As I made my way to the packhouse, the thoughts of who could be my parents filled my mind.Why was I abandoned?Were my parents still alive or were they dead?If they were alive, then were they looking for me?" Where the hell are you coming from?" Regina's angry voice forcefully pulled me away from my thoughts.' oh no the witch is here.' I cursed inwardly.She was glaring at me with those hate filled eyes.Sometimes, I fail to understand why Regina hates me so much.I was nothing but the rejected mate of her lover.Logan chose her over me, his fated mate.And If that wasn't enough, he made me serve him and his bitch. I had to watch how he doted on Regina everyday, giving in to her ridiculous demands.But I stilled my heart and learned to ignore everything.As long as I lived, that was fine because I wasn't hoping to meet my ancestors soon.As much as my life was nothing but pure misery,I still loved my life,a lot." I went to the woods." I replied honestly, looking her straight in the eye.I know answering her back irked her, but not answering angered her even more.Sometimes, I wonder what she really wants. A honest answer will leave you punished, a lie would land you to even deeper shit." Go and make me pumpkin custard, my baby is craving it." Regina said, caressing her now flat tummy. Her voice taunting meHer words earned a reaction from me.My eyes bulged out. I am sure they were almost popping out of their sockets. Regina is pregnant?But what was I thinking,those two practically rolled in the bed like bunnies on heat." What are you so surprised about? I am the future Luna, of course it's my duty to give the Alpha an heir." Regina said sarcastically as she eyed me with contempt.Right? What was I thinking? Just as she said, as the future Luna, it was her very duty to give the Alpha heirs." Okay." I said as I walked towards the kitchen.I thought I had come to terms with the fact that I would never be enough for Logan and could never be the woman he needs. But I can't pretend that the news about Regina's pregnancy sounded pleasant to my ears.I walked in a daze to the kitchen but my clumsiness made me stumble upon a rich hard chest." Watch where you are going, Omega." Logan shouted at me before I even found the courage to apologise.That has always been his way of degrading me. Reminding me that I was nothing but a lowly Omega,a slave in his pack.My eyes gleamed with tears but I fought very hard to restrain them. I couldn't allow Logan to see my tears, not now when I could feel him simmering with anger.A slap sent me flying as I slammed on the wall before falling down with a thud. The impact was too much that I coughed out blood as tears started stinging my eyes."You filthy animal, how dare you touch me with your dirty hands?" Logan's voice bloomed into my ears and i shivered from the coldness etched on his words.I didn't dare raise my head to look at him because that would make him more angrier than he already was. He doesn't forget to remind me how ugly and disgusting my face is." I'm sorry, it won't happen again." My meek voice travelled through the room. Despite trying, I couldn't control the tremble lacing my voice. My sorry would definitely aggravate the already bad situation but what else could I say. He was using his alpha voice on me making me submit to him." You are sorry? Why don't I see how sorry you are mutt!"
" Bathe her and dress her up. Tonight she will be auctioned off. At Least after tonight, I don't get to see her ugly face in this pack anymore.'" Regina Instructed.The word getting sold off could have scared the shit out of me, but not anymore.If there's a chance I could get away from this hellhole, I would not hesitate to do it. I would rather have myself killed by some stranger than to continue living on this pack, letting Logan humiliate and Regina vent up her anger and hatred on me.' Anything that allows you to sleep peacefully.' I said inwardly.Ugly! who doesn't know that despite being chosen by the Alpha, she has always been jealous of my beauty.I was bathed by the slaves and my wounds cleaned. The silver chains restraining me were also removed.I know they did this so that I can heal by evening or by the time they sell me off.But there's no problem. It was better than having my fragile human body to heal itself.After I was cleaned and given clean clothes to wear, I was
Regina's voice rang from the door as she made her way inside.I saw her eyes widen in surprise before jealousy adorned them.That prompted me to take a look at myself.I hadn't been in the mood to admire myself but now that I witnessed such emotions from her from the reflection of the mirror, I got curious.The girls had washed my hair and straightened it before curling the ends creating waves.The red dress was hugging my curves at the right places.I have to admit that whoever chose the dress for me has a good sense of fashion.The red dress created a contrast with my wheat like skin adding more charm to my already well proportioned body.I always knew I had a great body, just that with the loosely fitted satin dresses we were made to wear, nothing could be outlined.A little bit of makeup was done on my face, the pink lipstick applied on my lips giving them a luscious look.I could not believe that the person in the reflection was actually me.I was proud that my parents gave me su
Gideon POVIt's been three fucking hours and the little Alpha has been all about discussing whatever it is I didn't even pay attention about. Usually this kind of matters are handled by my beta but Leo is out of the pack. That leaves me , the Lycan King, to listen to some stupid proposals made by a young and ignorant alpha of a small pack under my rule.As the Lycan King, I rule over all the other packs and they have to discuss every important matter about their pack with me.That's how it has always been but there's nothing I loathe like sitting for hours listening to things I have least Interest with so that leaves Leo to handle such petty matters.My head is occupied with the news about the new arrivals to the auction that will be held two hours from now.Known as the heartless and mateless king, I get to satsify my sexual needs by buying a few sex slaves. We lycans are known to have a strong sex drive and that's why I personally pick my sex slaves.I kicked my last one out of my
Gideon POVI stilled, as waves of shock rippled through me from what my beast just Said.Mate? The lady in red was my mate? The very same mate I have been waiting for for years?I don't know exactly what I was feeling. A myriad of emotions flashed through me, ranging from relief, happiness to rage.I was relieved that at last, the moon Goddess gifted me what was made just for me.Happy that I was no longer mateless as others referred to me as.I was angry that someone had the audacity to present my very own fated for auctioning.A growl so deep that it had the whole room vibrating tore through me as I heard someone place a bid on what was meant to be mine.' Calm down, I'll get her out of here.' I had to calm my beast before he could do worse.' You better get my mate out of here at this very moment or you won't like it.' Danger growled back at me.I knew better than to take the words of my beast lightly. He was capable of that mad much more.Being a lycan, our beasts are strong an
Logan POVComing to the Lycan's kingdom was not something I very much wanted but I knew that I had to do it.For the sake of the development of my pack, I had yi sit down with that arrogant ass and discuss the issue about the opening of the pack school in my pack.Our pack was considered one of the wealthiest but we were never given the go ahead to open a pack school.That's what I wanted for my people, to be able to study in our pack and not be forced to move to other packs.We were wealthy but I knew constructing a school at the pack land would need us to seek help from others but most importantly, to get permission from the Lycan king.Three hours to the discussion and I could see the Man was paying the least attention to what I was saying about.My proposal had been well polished by me and my beta and I knew there was nothing boring about it.Since he wasn't listening, I was forced to repeat something more than once and that really irked me. But what could I do? Not like I would w
" I understand you are interested in this lady but she's my mate and I can't let her go." I said, trying to reason with the lycan King but the look of mockery he gave me convinced me that he didn't believe a word I said.I could not blame him though, even to me it sounded like a made up story, a far fetched story.But that was the truth, a truth nobody could change. She is my mate, the gift that the moon goddess gave me to complete me. I might have treated her badly but I couldn't let Maya go, I was unable to. She is perfect for me and my wolf, just not ideal Luna for the pack. Her status deters her from being accepted by only my father but also the elders. I know that to convince them to make her Luna would need me to go against them and I wasn't willing to go to such lengths to have her by my side when I can just give the pack the Luna they need and give my beast the mate she craves for.I learned from my father that the pack comes first before any personal matter.My parents are n
Maya POVI finally did it. I did what I have been looking forward to doing tonight. I thought I would be happy seeing him break out of my rejection but still, I felt like that wasn't enough. After all the things Logan did to me, a mere rejection is not enough to wash away my pain.I watch his devastated look as he looks at me with pain filled eyes. The same eyes I would give him everytime he Instructed his men to torture me but just like he always reacted to me with a blank look, I gave him just that. A blank look. A tug from my now new owner has me taking one last glance at him and the look I see now has me surprised. He looks… sad and Lost. But I quickly cleared such stupid thoughts off my mind. Logan will never look sad just because I was leaving for another pack. If anything, I think he's rejoicing Inwardly. Now, he can get to be with his chosen mate without having to deal with his loathsome mate.All the reactions he showed earlier when the man took me from him should be because
