Chapter Six
Maya’s POVI knew that something was wrong the moment I woke up from sleep. I had a bad feeling about today but I brushed it off. I am tired , heartbroken and not in a very good mood so I ignored my instincts and noticed that the house is awfully quiet when I was walking down stairs towards the dining room which is close to the kitchen.My family loves to gist, argue or watch the television loudly but the house seems too quiet today, no music was playing in the background and I also didn’t hear the sound of Haden playing around which made me really suspicious.I woke up pretty late today ,I stared into the mirror with my dishevelled hair and SpongeBob pyjamas to rehearse what I will tell my parents since I still haven’t heard a word from Delta Jacob since last night and my face is still red and visibly swollen up from the swimming pool accident I had last night. The large amount of concealer I dabbed to my face still couldn’t hide it.“Mother , what’s wrong ?” I asked , my heart skipping a beat at the sight of my step mother’s red swollen face filled with tears.“Go back to your room “ she mouthed but my body was too shocked to even move.“Run Now! Protect your brother and step sister !” She mouthed again making desperate hand gestures towards me where my feet still felt glued to the wooden staircase leading down from my room to the kitchen.“Arghhh!” I shouted when I understood that she was trying to tell me that she's in danger but I immediately closed my mouth hoping that mother’s piercing crying shouts covered mine while my feet finally got moving as I stepped back , turning around and running back to my room .I shouted at the sight of a huge, ugly and dangerous looking man coming from the kitchen and he was holding a wolfsbane gun that was pointing towards my step mothers head.Who is this man?What does he want ?Where is father? I didn’t see him in the dining room with my step mother.I wish it was a full moon where we can easily turn into our werewolf forms and fight with our strength but it’s still the middle of the month and I am not strong enough to fight that hideous large man!My family is not so rich and as omegas we also stay in the low suburb part of town, so definitely armed robbers or thieves wouldn’t target our poor house because they won’t have anything to steal, except designer clothes or shoes.So why on earth will someone with a gun sneak up into our home this early morning?!The thoughts kept clouding my head as I ran to hide inside my wardrobe silently praying to the moon goddess to keep my family safe.I wrapped my legs and placed some clothes over my head and body while I kept my ears at alert just in case I heard any movement.*Ring Ring Ring*Shape of you by Ed Sheeran began blasting on my phone loudly.“Shit! My phone, I should grab it and call for help. I totally forgot about it. It seems like my brain has been in some zombie mood since last night …!” I quickly came out of the dark and old wooden wardrobe towards my bed where I picked the phone , ignoring Eve's call and switched off the small sleek gadget silently hoping that the chaos downstairs would stop them from hearing the ring tone so that they wouldn't come for me too .I ran to hide behind the curtains of my door holding my bedside lamp stand in hand when I felt footsteps but the loud and heavy footsteps didn’t stop in front of my door , it moved to the next door.“Haden! That’s Haden’s room, I quickly opened the door and tried to hit the huge man before he could open Haden’s door but he turned around and kicked me with his legs in my abdomen. It was so painful that it made me fall down till I rolled down the staircase in a painful manner.“Ouch” I groaned , lifting my bruised head to come face to face with my step mother and father both their lips tied , their body also tied to the dining table chairs with a heavy chain,there were also two men pointing a gun to their head.“What’s going on ?!” I shouted trying to stand up and pick the broken lantern as a weapon but I heard a click sound and a metal tugging behind my head.I swallowed,my throat immediately going dry and I almost pee in my pants when I felt the edge of the metallic pistol hitting the back of my head.“One wrong move and you are gone” came a terrifying yet familiar voice. I raised my shaky hands up in surrender while the tears now freely streamed down from my face.I was so selfish, my step mother told me to go and protect Haden and Stella but instead I went ahead to hide and the man who hurt me is still not back with Haden, it’s better for us to face this as a family than for them to hurt my baby brother Haden alone in his room.“Mother I am so sorry , I couldn’t protect Stella and Haden. I am so sorry “ I cried loudly.“Tape her and shut her mouth up !” Came the voice again, pushing me towards where my father and my step mother are. I turned my limb body around to face the monster that seems to be in charge of this sick shit when my eyes widened with shock.“Alpha Aaron?” I whispered looking up at him but his expression still remained grim, he didn’t even spare me a glance as two men stood behind him bringing him a chair to sit down.This must be more serious than I thought and more of his soldiers kept appearing out of nowhere. I cried into the masking tape which was taped on my mouth as I looked up at the monster with so much hatred in my heart, waiting for him to tell us our crime because my family doesn't deserve this harsh treatment .Now you can have a clear picture of why my body was shaking back then at the garden when I almost slapped Alpha Aaron or did he come to punish me for trying to slap him ? But I asked for forgiveness, I begged him on my knees last night!“If it’s because I almost slapped you,please take me and leave my family out of this. Please punish me alone !” I cried out but he ignored me , my tears didn’t even make him glance my way.He looks bigger , more terrifying yet calm in his well tailored black business suit that made him look more like a god than a devil despite the bloody situation at hand.Rumours had it that he is worse than the devil and my family and are so unfortunate to witness his wrought first hand.“You must be wondering about the unexpected visit right? He asked casually, playing with a gun in his hands.Ugh?! He should stop playing around and get to the point already!“Omega Lucas , how dare you ,a common omega, betray me and the entire Bloodmoon Pack?”Alpha Aaron asked , his mean scowl directed at father as one of the soldiers removed the tape on father’s face.“I dare do no such thing!” Cried father with so much raw pain in his voice. My stepmother's face was also red as tears and mucus kept flowing from her face,the sight completely broke me.“Bring in the witness who has the evidence…”One of the soldiers went to the living room and came back to the small and crowded dining room with Delta Jacob behind him.“Ugh?!” What on earth is going on here?!Chapter Seven Maya’s POV “Jacob, how could you do this to me and my family,what did we do to you to make you betray us?!”I tried shouting through the tape on my mouth but it only came out as a small muffle with no one paying attention to me.“Tell them what you saw before reporting to me…” said Alpha Aaron, commanding Jacob who still looked like a little child despite his long height in the presence of Alpha Aaron’s brooding presence.Delta Jacob, my supposed fated mate who cheated on me with my step sister didn't even spare me a glance as he went to stand beside Alpha Aaron with a grim expression looking at father. “Alpha Aaron, I saw this poor and low ranking Omega Lucas exchanging packages with another omega from our enemies pack, the Nightshade Pack and coincidentally,one of our power plants got attacked on the same night. I even have a picture evidence ….” Said Jacob bringing out his phone and showing a picture to Alpha Aaron before bringing it toward our face and true , ther
Chapter Eight Maya’s POV I was too heartbroken to even take note of where the car is driving me to , I silently kept crying because I am scared of what lies ahead and I’m also worried about my family. What if the Alpha King comes back to hurt them? So many things and questions kept coming up in my head , the biggest of it all is why did Jacob betray my family and I like that ? I can’t remember me or my family offending him so why ?! The cars finally stopped after passing through large black gates into a mansion that looked as big as an estate but my eyes were too blurry with the tears for me to notice the details. I heard rumours of how rich the Alpha King was and this gigantic mansion proves it. “Lock her up before I decide what to do with her” was the only thing the cruel Alpha said before disappearing to only God knows where. Still in tears , I kept quiet as his men carried and dragged me towards what looked like an underground dungeon. The place is all stuffy , smells terribl
Chapter Nine Maya’s POV “Who is it ?”“What do you want ?”“Don’t dare try to hurt me , I can be scary and dangerous too!” I shouted and threatened while standing upright and on alert , ready to fight off any one that tried to harm me but a middle aged chubby woman came in alongside a young man who looked about my age.He was dressed stylishly in bright colours.“Oh please hun, you’re too weak to do anything and you stunk by the way” the young man said while chewing gum and closing his nose with his pink painted nails. “What do you want from me ?” I asked , I felt a bit relieved that it wasn’t the Alpha’s men that came in. These two looked problematic but not dangerous, they don’t look like they will harm me. “Just shut up and follow us . When the Alpha gives an order , no one questions it” said the elderly woman while roughly dragging and pulling my hands out of the cage. The young man closed the door behind me before they led me outside where I had to close my eyes immediately be
Chapter Ten Maya’s POV I stared at the red pieces of clothing in my hand trying to think of a way to put it on my body. This small stretch rope doesn’t look like a cloth at all.The guy noticed me being hesitant so he pushed me towards the bathroom. “Be fast, we still have to work on your makeup and hair . He wants you tonight and you need to look perfect” he said with so much sass. I can see some of the maids around me giving me pitiful looks but I didn’t care, the staff sympathising with me just makes this whole thing more humiliating.I took the piece of clothe that looks like a rope and heels to the bathroom and after what seems like eternity , I figured the dress out. The red dress was so soft and felt nice on my body, it stopped before my knees and exposed my legs …it was off shoulder with tiny bows as sleeves , it left the upper part of my body bare and the corset on the bra area made my cleavage look bigger and fuller.The back of the dress is completely strapless, the dress
Chapter Eleven Maya’s POV I held my breath and kept looking around the opulent office, heart pounding in my chest. I had never been in a room so grand, so intimidating. And the man behind the desk was the most imposing thing of all.He sat in a high-backed leather chair, his broad shoulders hunched over a stack of papers. I couldn't help but admire the way his suit hugged his muscular frame. He was handsome, in a dark and dangerous way, with piercing blue eyes that seemed to stare straight through her.I took a hesitant step backwards out of fear , her heels clicking against the polished floor. The man looked up at her, his expression hard and unyielding."How dare you defy me?" he growled.My heart sank but I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders, determined to show him she wasn't afraid but before I could talk back to him ,his phone rang. He casually picked the smartphone and brought it to his ears , his eyes darkened while receiving the call before he hung up and we immed
Chapter Twelve Maya’s POV I looked down at the red tiny dress as my lips wobbled. Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to be taken as collateral for the crimes my father never committed but I got more brave when I remember that I sacrificed myself to make sure that my family is safe because I love them. My head is filled with different thoughts as my trembling hands held onto the handle of the dress; I stepped out of it carefully and let it fall to the ground;My white skin came into view; I had never been naked in front of a man before, and the first man I would show her nakedness to was this beast. I wished I wasn't this vulnerable, I wished my father had made the right choices and didn’t get himself into trouble and I also wished that Jacob was a more decent man then I wouldn’t be here in this fucked up position. ''Take off those too. '' He said calmly while his eyes focused on the lingerie on my body. Tears filled my eyes; I stared at him with so much hate and disgust; I had never se
Chapter Thirteen Maya’s POV I took another long, hot and scorching bath. I scrubbed my body so hard as if it would help me get rid of the humiliation. It's even more annoying that he didn’t touch me because it means he has other plans for me. A little part of me was disappointed that he didn’t touch me. Does he hate me that much or am I just not desirable? First Jacob rejected me and now Aaron kept me for days and never laid his hands on me. I'm not complaining but I can’t help thinking about this because I am an overthinker. I came out of the bath after the water had turned really cold. I don’t know how long I have been in there but I know it was more than an hour. I fried my body and opened the decent sized wardrobe to see that it is stocked with plain t-shirts in dark colors with a few pairs of jeans trousers and a black converse, even though the clothes looked basic I could tell that they cost a fortune , the material just feels and radiates differently on my skin and it’s not
Chapter Fourteen Maya’s POV “That was a stupid thing to do especially when I'm running away from a powerful enemy but I am already too tired, my soul and body is tired !” I slept off for a brief second ,just a tiny brief second and when I opened my eyes. I saw myself back at the devil’s mansion but I closed my eyes hoping it's just a dream as I fell asleep.With a sudden jolt, I snapped awake. The gentle hum of the engine beneath me, the rhythmic vibrations, and the warmth of sunlight on my face woke me up from sleep. Confusion fogged my mind for a moment, but it quickly lifted, revealing the car's interior. The sun was casting a warm golden glow through the windows.As I stretched and yawned, a delicious , rich and tantalising smell invaded my senses. My stomach rumbled in response, as if it recognized the delicious aroma. Cheeseburgers. It was the mouthwatering aroma of cheeseburgers that had stirred me from my slumber. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep
