Roxanne has always been treated like trash by her step family. They made her life a living hell, always berating her for being weak and powerless. Her only companion in the pack was Beta's son. He treated her right better than everyone in the pack and eventually she fell in love with him. She realized that they were mates and she couldn't be more than happy, but to her disappointment, he rejected her and chose her step sister. That was only the beginning of Roxanne's suffering, as her step father sold her off as a breeder to the ruthless Lycan King, Alejandro, a man notorious for his cruelty. She was forced to become a breeder against her will. With a heavy heart, she accepted her fate, determined to simply give the Alpha his pup, and leave the pack forever. But fate seemed to have other plans.

I was about to go inside the house, but I halted when I observed the elegant cars leaving the Alphaâs pack house. I was perplexed and surprised, because I know that my family can't possess such cars since they are too expensive.
I sensed a weird and strong aura within me but I couldn't tell who and what it was. Slowing down my pace, I went closer to the sitting room and heard my stepfatherâs voice, just when I was about to go up to my room.
âIn a few days, she would be out of our way for good.â The spit in his voice made me intuitively aware that the discussion was about me. After all, I was the only one he despised in the whole pack.
My heart was pounding from what I had just heard and I tried to be as calm as possible so I could comprehend what he was saying.
âAfter sheâs been picked up, Alpha Alejandro won't hurt our pack anymore because of the debt I owe him. He will forgive our sins and let us live. And the bitch would be out of our lives for good! What a good idea. Two birds, one stone.â Alpha Vanthorn continued.
âWhat was he talking about?â My eyes widened in disbelief and I started to tremble violently.
âI guess you are eavesdropping again, huh? A voice sounded behind me and I snapped my head around coming face to face with Alexa's nasty sneer.
Her glance was filled with scorn and loathing. I know how much she dislikes me. She despises me so fiercely that she wants everything that belongs to me. What would she possibly want from me?
Why will she be jealous of me? I don't enjoy good things like she did. I don't go to school, nor do I have any day to rest like she always did, so why would she be jealous? She was more beautiful than I am for heaven's sake.
I just did my best to avoid Alexa's wrath, and it upset me that I drew the attention of my step father, Alpha Vanthorn.
âRoxanne!â Alpha Vanthorn's voice sounded powerful, sending chills down my spine. I began to feel hot all of a sudden, but it did nothing to calm the coldness within me.
Realizing I was in for trouble, I attempted to run but it was too late. I was halted by Liam who pulled me by the hand. He was just coming in.
âAlphaâŚâ My voice quivered as I sucked in a deep breath attempting to control my fear and not dare to glance up at the faces of others in the room.
âI told you she is a snitch, but you didn't believe me. She is always hiding and eavesdropping on our conversation, she should be punished, father,â Alexa replied with a sneer. She has always enjoyed seeing me in pain.
âYou were eavesdropping on us, huh?â Alpha Vanthorn snarled.
âI swear by the moon goddess Alpha, I didnât do it. I was just coming inâ I said practically in tears.
Slap!
A big hit fell on my face, knocking me down and I sank to the ground, hearing my stepfatherâs furious roars.
âYou dare to call my daughter a liar? How dare you!?â Alpha Vanthorn roared and began to beat me fiercely. I can't believe that this was the man I have always loved as much as I loved my father. Who would have thought that he could act this way towards me now that my father was no more?
âNo, Iâm so sorryâŚ.. please forgive me⌠please stopâŚâ I pleaded as I curled myself on the floor with my hands up trying to defend the blows from landing on my chest.
âFatherâŚ. Please stopâŚâ I begged as the agony was getting too severe for me and my eyesight started to blur.
âPlease stop this, Alpha⌠sheâs going to dieâŚâ Nanny Olivia, attempted to plead with him but Alpha Vanthorn would not budge.
Nanny Olivia is one person who has always comforted me, telling me that all will be well. She was my nanny right from when I was a baby.
âShe lacks manners and I have to teach her some manners. Of what purpose is her existence to this family?â Alpha Vanthorn hissed in rage.
I slumped against the wall watching my stepfather in terror, fearful he might lift his hand to slap me again.
âWell, father,â Liam yelled, interrupting his father. âShe is of importance to us right now. You know what the plans are. In a few days, she will be out of our lives. Alpha Alejandro's wrath won't be upon our pack anymore and most of all, she will no longer be a concern to usâ My stepbrother, Liam, added with a grin.
Alpha Vanthorn's countenance went from fury to amusement.
âYou seem confused, stepsister.â Alexa stared at me with a gentle grin. âWhy donât you tell her, dad? I think she would love the news.â
I leaned back against the wall, startled at the sudden grin on their faces. If Alpha Vanthorn could grin then I was certain that it was of no good.
Alpha Vanthorn came closer to me, he raised my face, and extended his fangs causing me to recoil in fright.
âYou are going to carry out a little task for me, one that will be of help to all of us.â He paused, to clear his throat and he continued immediately.
âAlpha Alejandro has vowed to raid our pack and slaughter everyone because of the amount of money I owe him. But he has offered a twisted treaty: provide him with a 'special' maid and he will spare our lives. I'm sure you realize how much this pack has to be protected, or else we would all be dead. Including you,â
âFather!â I yelled, not believing what I had just heard. I was astonished, horrified, and silent. My gaze met those of Nanny Olivia. She felt awful for me but she turned her face away knowing she couldnât be of assistance to me.
Alpha Alejandro? The king of the most powerful pack in the whole of Tryone City? He was known for his brutality and disdain for worthless people, especially Omegas.
Even his wolf was rumored to be a monster that shreds his victims apart in a second. None of his servants survived there. There was a rumor that he killed his mate too.
He was the king of all Lycans and an Alpha of all Alphas with no compassion even at his old age. And that was who they wanted to send me to? How could they be so cruel to me? What have I done to deserve it?
âFather please, donât please, I promise to be on my best behavior.â In sobs, I summoned all of my remaining courage and appealed.
âRoxanne, donât bother stressing yourself begging my father, you donât have a choice. Your fate has been sealed alreadyâ Alexa chuckled.
âFather please, donât do this to meâŚ. Donât send me to him. I beg of you please ....â
âYou will do as I have asked you to and that is final!â Alpha Vanthorn yelled.
âLiam!â Alpha Vanthorn ordered.
âTake Roxanne to her room, ensure you lock the doors, she isnât allowed to leave the house. Alpha Alejandro's envoys would be coming back soon and I donât want to search for her.â
I couldnât hold back my tears, the sorrow I felt was excruciating. In less than a day, I have been cheated on and rejected by my mate, my step sister has been marked by my mate and now, my stepfather is selling me off to the Lycan king.
There was no way I was going to serve the ruthless Lycan King. I have to escape somehow. Before Liam could come closer to me, my vision blurred and I passed out.
Roxanne's POV I snorted as I heard Lucia's words. I don't care if he wants a mate or not. In fact, I don't think I want to be with someone like him, a beast who cares about no one but himself. In fact, I'd rather die than be with him. He should just go to hell. âAre you still with me?â Lucia's voice tore me away from my thoughts and I shifted my gaze to her face. âYes, Lucia. I'm here.â I flashed her a forced smile. âAnd as for your words earlier, I don't care. I don't care to know why he doesn't want a mate. I don't even want to be with someone like him.â I spat with a tone of finality and a startled gasp escaped her lips. âCome on, Rosebud, don't say that.â She shushed me. âI bet you'll forgive him if you come to know the reason behind hisâŚ.â âDon't make me repeat myself, Lucia. I don't care and that's final.â She exhaled sharply. âLet's go get you something to eat.â She said as she rose up from the bed and I nodded. I knew she did that in an effort to change the conversatio
Roxanne's POV I woke up to the soft glow of light streaming through the slightly opened curtains. The warmth and the softness of the bed was completely different from the cold, damp dungeon I had been in just hours ago. Who was I kidding? That cold and hard ground can never be compared to this bed in any way! My poor body still aches from the harshness of the dungeon ground and my mind was filled with nothing but the weight of everything that had happened to me just within a short period of time. First it was Ethan's rejection and now, it was Alpha Alejandro. I must be a cursed woman! I must have gone against the moon goddess in my past life to warrant all of these bad things that keep happening to me. I MUST BE CURSED! âCome on, Roxanne, don't say that. You are not cursed, neither have you gone against the moon goddess in any way!â Zoey chided me in a soft tone, but I shook my head. I can't be made to believe otherwise. I was cursed. If I wasn't, then bad things wouldn't be happ
Alejandro's POV I sat in my study, as I stared at the flickering flames in the fireplace. The weight of my decisions pressed heavily on my shoulders. The events of that night, two nights ago, replayed in my mindâRoxanneâs trembling hands, the way her eyes had filled with pain when I rejected her, and the bond that had sparked between us, only for me to sever it ruthlessly, coupled with the way I had discarded her just after taking pleasure from her body. I clenched my fists, my wolf growling within me. He was restless and agitated. "She is ours," he snarled, "Why did you fucking reject her, without asking me about it?" Just like the first time, I shut him out, refusing to entertain the thought. Roxanne was nothing more than a means to an end. She was here to bear my heir. She would bear my heir, and then she would be gone. The bond didnât matter. It couldnât matter. My wolf had forced me into going to see her in the dungeon some minutes ago, and I went even though it was dar
Roxanne's POVMy body ached, my heart shattered and my wolf, Zoey, whimpered softly within me, as she mourned the rejection that had torn through our bond. I can't tell how long I've been here, but I know that it's been more than two days. I slumped against the rough stone wall, my legs giving out beneath me. The floor was cold and hard, but I barely noticed the discomfort. My mind was filled with different emotionsâŚ. anger, humiliation and a deep sadness that was threatening to consume me. "How could this happen?" I whispered to myself, my voice trembling. "How could he reject me like that? I haven't even done anything to deserve itâ Zoey stirred within me. "He doesnât deserve us," she growled, her voice laced with pain and defiance. "We are strong, Roxanne. Stronger than he thinks. We will survive this." I wanted to believe her, but the weight of Alpha Alejandro's rejection pressed down on me like a heavy blanket. He had taken everything from meâmy dignity, my freedom, and no
Roxanne's POV âPleaseâŚ.let me go⌠I promise never to cross paths with you ever again. I promise to run far away from here. Please just let me go,â I pleaded in tears, silently hoping that he would listen to me. Alpha Alejandro turned his gaze to his Gamma, âTell the maids to have her ready by nightfall, I will be bedding her tonight.âWatching him pull the door open, I was certain that I had no choice at this point. He said it was either by choice or by force. Oh moon goddess! What have I done to deserve this?âWhat will happen after your pup is born?â I looked back and asked before he left. He stopped without turning around to stare at me. After a short silence, he said in a quiet voice, âYou will be set free. The day the pup is born, you will be out of hereââFine, I would just give him a child and get my freedom,â I muttered. It's not as bad as I thought after all. âPrepare her for the Alpha, and ensure she is fit and healthy to bear his heir,â Mason instructed someone who
Roxanne's POV âWhatâs going on? Where am I?â I stuttered with confusion laced in my voice as I stared around the strange room. I tried to figure out my surroundings but it was all blacked out. I couldnât see anything because I was blindfolded.Panic surged through me as I scented the unfamiliar surroundings. Yet my mind couldnât process what was going on.âWhatâs happening to me?â I mumbled a grunt in annoyance as I attempted to get on my feet but I ended up falling on my knees and struggling with the agony that set in.Realization dawned on me that I was tied up. I swallowed hard, trying to make sense of it, yet my mind was all blank. I had no clue what was going on with me. I had no clue where I was.âWhere am I? Whatâs going on? Why am I being tied up?â A whirlwind of thoughts crossed my mind and fear coiled around my heart as I recalled how I found myself in this situation.âHello? Is anybody there?â I asked again, but there was no answer. . I was already on the verge of tears,
