‎‎Neither Kaelen nor I said anything for a long time. His eyes roamed over me as if he was trying to figure something out. Perhaps he was internally asking himself why he was here.Peter’s hand clenched tighter around my wrist as he pulled me forward.“She’s ready for you now,” he said. I almost scoffed at how airy his voice was with such fake pride for me.Kaelen didn’t respond to him. His gaze flickered over to where Peter’s hand held mine, and something dangerous flashed in his eyes. It was there for only a split second, but I caught it.“Let her go,” he commanded my father flatly.Peter hesitated, then he dropped my wrist as if it burned him.With a tilt of his head, Kaelen gestured at me as he told me, “Come with me.”As he led me out of the door, I really hoped I wouldn’t have to return to the house. The rain drizzled slightly over us, but not enough for us to run for shelter.He led me through the pack grounds in silence, his hands in his pockets as if this was his pack and he owned e

‎ “He rejected me,” I started to explain myself to my father as he took slow and intentional steps toward me. A part of me knew it was useless, explaining myself. There was nothing I could possibly say that would stop him from doing whatever he wanted.“You saw it, he didn’t want anything to do with me,” I added.“And he said it’s because you’re an omega. A weak one. Which isn’t exactly a lie, now, is it?” He asked me darkly.A small, rebellious part of me had the urge to snap at him and tell him he had his role to play in this as well. He was the beta who had betrayed Alpha Kaelen’s father. Even if I wasn’t an omega, it would have been hard for him to accept me as his mate anyway.I barely had any time to collect my thoughts when he exploded like a wildfire.“You humiliated me!” He screamed like a man without flaws and faults. “You stood there and exposed your weakness without even standing up for yourself!”What was I supposed to say when my mate was attacking me with hurtful words? I was

‎ From the way Peter was grinning beside me, I could tell I had gotten myself into something I would regret. After all, he had wanted me to catch Alpha Kaelen’s attention. Even better for him now, I was Alpha Kaelen’s mate.“Mate.”The word echoed in my mind, twisting my stomach. My heart pounded wildly as my wolf leapt up and started to pace once again, trying to claw her way out of me and reach for him like a wild beast.Not quite sure why I was making the first move, I took a step forward. The music had long stopped, and everyone was staring at what was happening in front of them. I didn’t miss the air of discontentment from a lot of people at the fact that he was mated to a person like me, but it didn’t register immediately.This could be my way out, I thought. I could be taken away from my father, taken out of the situation I was in. I could leave here tonight with my mate, and all of my problems with my father would be put behind me.Alpha Kaelen finally got over his shock and moved

The whip cracked like thunder through the air before it hit my skin.“Argh!” I screamed in pain, tears stinging my eyes as the whip stung my back.It didn’t matter how many times this happened. It didn’t matter how many years this has been going on for. I would never be used to this level of cruelty. Not when it came from the one man who was supposed to protect me. “You useless little thing,” Peter, my father, spat at me, venomsoaking his words. “You think everyone doesn’t see how weak you are? How pathetic your wolf is?”Another strike came down on my back, and I flinched with my hand balling into fists. He didn’t let that one sit beside another one came down on my back again.“I raised you to be something,” he hissed at me. “Not some runt of a creature who has her first shift at sixteen like a cursed mistake. And that wolf of yours, what can it possibly do?! You’re lucky I haven’t thrown you to the rogues, Seraphina. Very lucky.”I bit the inside of my cheek until the metallic taste of
