Crystal’s POV
I felt my breathing get stuck in my throat while staring into his eyes with my open mouth. I could still feel the sparks flying between us.
Never in my dream had I thought that Luke would be my mate! An Alpha will be my mate. How’s it possible?
‘There's nothing impossible. The Moon Goddess chose you for him.’ C*ssie said happily when I heard whispers from people around us.
[W..wait! Is this dirty maid Luke's mate? She is going to be his Luna?]
[My goodness! I feel sorry for Luke, he must be cursed.]
[I am also feeling terrible for Bracky.]
[But why is she looking injured so bad? Has she been treated fairly here?]
More and more speculation poured into my ears, pulling me out of my lost mind. With my status, I was not supposed to be here. Tonight had many noble guests here, and Alpha will surely punish me for ruining such an important party. I took a peek around only to get Bracky who was staring at me with killing eyes.
f*ck, I'm screwed!
I scrambled to get up, but my dirty wet heavy dress tripped me again. My face reddened when someone laughed at my clumsy movements. But the next second, a slender hand reached out to me.
“Take my hand.” Luke's tender voice sounded as I looked up.
Shit! His one simple sentence made my heart beat hundred times in a second, and his gentle eyes made me happy inside. He seemed not like others. Should I trust him?
'Just trust our mate, Crystal.' C*ssie suggested in excitement.
I slowly took his hand, and again my entire body turned hot as I felt electricity rush through my veins, leaving me numb.
When I could stand on my feet, he gave me a smile before turning towards that noble woman I bumped into. Goddess, he was just like a Prince Charming. Could I really be his mate? Would he accept me?
Then I heard him apologize to that woman, “I am sorry for the accident, lady. We'll pay for your loss later. Please allow my men to take you to change first.”
It was out of my surprise that he didn't blame me. Did that mean he was likely to accept us? I couldn't help but feel my heart pounding fast as he turned toward me again.
He wore a black and royal golden tuxedo with arranged hair, making him look like a king. I kept my tense hands holding together, trying my best to stand elegant and waiting for his answer to me.
He stopped just a few steps away from me before saying, “Crystal… right?”
My name sounded like honey from his mouth and when I nodded my head, he continued, “I'm really happy to find my mate. Personally, I don't mind no matter what she is. I will protect her with my life as long as she is my mate.”
My smile widened with his every word. I started believing C*ssie's opinion that our mate was worthy to be trusted and loved. However, my smile soon froze at his next words.
“But Crystal...I am going to be an Alpha and you know that,” He said with an apologetic smile, "As an Alpha, I have to consider my pack even before myself."
Luke sighed and said, “And as far as I know, you don't have a wolf, right? You can not shift."
Many guests gasped to hear that and again they started gossiping.
[Wow, how could a wolf-less Luna lead and protect the pack?]
[Oh, what a poor young Alpha! He is so excellent and deserves a better mate.]
[That lowly omega should give up. She can not be a good Luna.]
Those murmurs pressed on my heart heavily. It suddenly dawned on me that I was still that girl who was destined to be abandoned. My mate didn't want me. He didn't really care about me but his Alpha reputation.
I chuckled and asked, trying my best not to show them my sadness, "So, you're going to reject me, aren't you?"
He seemed to not expect me to be so direct and explained, "I have no other choice."
He acted like he was sorry but I didn't find any sincerity in his eyes. I smiled sarcastically as I agreed, "OK, I accept."
‘No! What are you saying, Crystal!’ C*ssie was furious, hot like lava, ‘They can not do this! We’re chosen for each other by the goddess!’
I ignore C*ssie like air and from the corner of my eyes, I caught Luke’s eyes lightening up as if he was waiting for it!
He thanked me falsely and didn’t take a second to announce, “I, Luke George, the Alpha of the Dark Moon pack, reject you Crystal Roger as my Mate and the Luna of my pack!"
I thought I was ready but still felt my heart getting ripped into pieces as sharp pain rushed to my heart through my arms. It was so painful that I immediately fell to my knees while holding my heart.
Wiping my tears, I immediately said back, “I... Crystal Roger, accept your rejection." And that's when another flow of pain went through my heart. I felt someone was pulling out my heart from my body.
I had closed my eyes in pain, but I knew all of them were staring at me. I didn't want to let them enjoy more of my weakness, so I tried my best to stand up.
Luke pretended to offer more help but I refused. I had no interest to be a tool to complete the show of his kindness. All I wanted to do was to run home and cry in my mom's arms. She was the only one who cherished me in the world.
I was near the gate when I heard Luke proudly announcing Bracky as his new Luna. It hit me one more time and I instantly turn back only to see Luke kissing Bracky in front of everyone when they all were cheering and applauding for them.
Tears kept rolling down when I noticed Bracky was showing me a mocking smile. I knew what she wanted to say that I could never defeat her.
Turning towards the woods, I ran away, I ran far away from them. Tears kept flowing through my eyes, and my heart kept aching in pain, but I didn't stop for a second.
'Why? Why it all happens to me all the time? Why Goddess you have to be so cruel to me?'
'I never asked an Alpha to be my mate. I just want a normal one who would not mind my past and respect me. Is this too much?'
'Even if I am destined to be rejected, why should it be Luke and Bracky? Am I being cursed for love? Haven't I suffered enough?'
I was cursing my fate while through the woods when abruptly, I felt cold arms holding my wrist, and in a second, my back was harshly pushed against a tree, making me gasp in surprise, but my eyes were closed because of the sudden pull.
However, suddenly a familiar scent rushed through my nose. It's... it's the same smell as my mate!
I instantly opened my eyes, and again a hard gasp left my mouth when I saw LUKE standing in front of me, and this time, a dazzling smile crept over his face. He had caged me in his arms.
"Are you running away from me, little mate?" He asked near my ears and his hot breath made me quiver. The time of severing our bond was too short to remove the full effect.
'What the heck is he doing here? Did he just follow me?'
I was stunned when he flirtatiously bit my earlobe and said, "How could an omega like you smell so heavenly that my wolf goes crazy to have you."
what the h*ll did he mean? He was the one who chose to reject me a few minutes ago and now he was saying he wanted me? Did I have no shame in his eyes?
I felt anger in my heart and I tried to push him away, "You just rejected me and we aren't mates anymore. Let me go!"
But surprisingly, he scoffed and said, "Yes, I rejected you, but I never said I'd allow you to leave me. And I'm also your new Alpha, I can f*ck you in all the positions as I want!"
My eyes went wide. I was shocked after hearing his filthy words. His beautiful face was distorted with anger, which put me in a trance. Was this still that noble prince? He looked more like a devil now.
Before I could resist, he started kissing my neck and ordered me while stripping my dress, "Submit to your Alpha, little thing. I know you also want me."
I tried my best to resist but he was too strong. And what scared me most was that every touch with him stirred up a desire within me. In the fantasy of all werewolf girls, giving your virginity to your mate would undoubtedly be the sweetest dream. For all these years, I also had expected it.
But now it turned out to be my nightmare. I hated that my body still got feelings from his touch. I hated that I didn't suppress my moans when he violently sucked my breast. I hated that deep inside I still wanted to have my mate.
"d*mn, you taste so good, even better than Bracky!"
When I was close to giving in to that stupid mate bond, his words quenched all my desires, which finally gave me some power to push him a bit away.
"You have slept with Bracky?!"
I couldn't hide the resentment in my voice and C*ssie was angrily growling in my head too. Even though life was never easy for us, I still tried hard to keep our virginity well for our mate. But looking back at our so-called mate, he already had another woman, who happened to be my biggest bully. I felt sick.
How could I be so stupid? He already kissed Bracky in front of people and announced her to be his new Luna. He didn't really love me. He just wanted my body.
Before I could run away, he caught my arms and smirked: "Got jealous, huh? Don't worry, I will keep Bracky at her place and you at your place. Just keep your wet core ready for me to f*ck every day!"
"Over my dead body!" I gritted my teeth but he laughed out.
"I'm your Alpha and how far can you run without a wolf? As long as I want, I can lock you on my bed. You'd better know that."
He held me tighter but the touch with him couldn't give me any spark anymore. At that moment I only wanted to get rid of him, so I bit his arm hard making him release his hand.
"Ah! You crazy b*tch!" He cursed and soon forced me onto the tree, "You really need some lesson now."
The n*ked lust and anger in his eyes were unsettling but I had nowhere to run.
Oh my Goddess, what should I do?
Crystal's PovI had nowhere to run.I fought against him with all my strength but as an Alpha, he was much stronger than me.My old dress ripped apart under his violence, and he rubbed my body more roughly. I felt hopeless.As tears rolled down my cheeks, he lifted my chin and said, "Don't pretend to be an innocent girl. It won't be long before you'll beg me to have you."His words made me sick and I couldn't help but retort, "Even if you can get my body, you won't get my heart. You're a rapist."My words obviously angered him, his Alpha's pride surely could not bear this. I hoped it could make him give up but I underestimated his impudence."Try me again, I'll make you watch your mother die." He squeezed my plumpness with malice and reminded me, "She's in need of an operation, isn't she?"His rude movement made me give a painful cry, but his words shocked me even more. Was he threatening to cut off all medical support for my mother? But..."Your father had promised me..." I wanted to
Crystal's POVMy mind was blank when Issac the agent successfully helped me and my mother settle in the capital city.I knew Luke and Bracky could never find and hurt me here. I'm safe now. But I still had no idea how Issac made it.He just snapped his fingers, and Bracky and her wolves who were so close to us were instantly sent miles away from us.He had taken us near a secret gate, and in a flash, we crossed that border without alerting anyone. How could it happen? Was Issac a wizard or something else? Was it really a wise choice to take his offer?"Miss, your bath is ready." The chain of my thoughts was interrupted by the voices of the maids, who were helping me with my fitting.Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I feel like I'm in a different world. In the mirror, I was shiny and bright; but inside myself, I felt rotten slowly.Half a month ago, Issac had taken me to meet the client as soon as we arrived in this city. I hadn't seen the face of the client but from his voice,
Crystal’s PovIssac’s words just blew my mind away in surprise and shock. I… I entered the wrong room? No, no, I slept with the wrong man? f*ck!I immediately sat down and turned back when a breath of relief left my mouth after seeing the empty bed. Thankfully he’s not here, or else I don’t know how I would have faced him.He was not that old tycoon, and this is why I felt weird. I couldn’t resist his hot touches that made me wet like a pool for him. Even his rough touches also felt like fire on my body, making me scream for more.My body again started turning hotter just thinking how he thrust roughly inside me yesterday. My vagina also started getting wet and a loud roar of Issac broke the chain of my thoughts.“b*tch! If you want to see your mother again, then you better show up your *ss in front of your master and apologize to him before he turns you and your mom into ashes!”Hearing Isaac, my heart immediately twisted in fear as I immediately replied, “I… I will immediately visit
A Month LaterCrystal's Pov"Crystal, two club sandwiches on table no.3." Hearing Grace, I was preparing the tray to carry the item. I turned towards her and nodded while she left the kitchen.I looked at the trey and sighed as I remembered how drastically my life changed in the last month.That day in the hospital, I didn't only lose my mother but also lost my smile, happiness, and everything.That day was stormy, I ran out of the hospital and kept running on the road. My eyes were still filled with tears, I wanted to scream and cry, but the bulky men of Issac were chasing behind me. I heard them yell and curse loudly but I had no time to care. The only thing I knew to do was to run for my life.The bad weather exacerbated the difficulty of my escape and just when I was exhausted and they were about to catch me at an alley, a door suddenly opened and someone pulled me inside a house and closed the door.And that's when I met Grace; she is not too old, just in her twenties. I instinct
Ramos's PovI have been going nuts for the last few months because of the demands of my pack members and my family.I never thought of having another mate and I am enough to handle my throne and my pack, but this HEIR OF THE ALPHA rule is giving me a headache since I am already thirty years old.Now as per the alpha rule book, I must have an heir.I thought of choosing a she-wolf from my pack, but those are nothing but useless wh*res who rubs their *sses on my d*ck to take them. I don't want my Luna to be a wh*re; that's why I took my Beta's suggestion and tried this surrogacy way.But d*mn, it failed again!I was on the verge of a rampage when I learned this bad news. And then, a fabulous aroma caught my attention. I rushed in that direction without thinking.And the moment I caught the woman and made her turn towards me, for the first time in my life, I felt some unknown feelings rushing through my veins as if I knew her and she was a part of me! Weird!I am the most potent Alpha th
Crystal's PovI was left shocked after hearing about his private doctor.I slowly looked towards my womb, and those words started roaming in my mind that his Alpha bloodline is so overbearing that none of the surrogate tests were successful then how...How am I pregnant with his babies?!"So no one can bear my child?" I heard his mocking tone, and before I could cover my ears to hear more secrets, he locked his gaze on me again and hung up the phone."Now come to the real point, where were you on the 8th of the last month?"His cold words made my eyes widen. And then I realized he was the man of that night. After all, I had never had s*x with anyone other than that overbearing man in that wrong room.I gulped and thought to make an excuse when again his cold tone rang around the room, giving me goosebumps, "DON'T YOU DARE TO LIE!"f*ck! I'm doomed today. Even if I tell him the truth, I don't know what he'll do with me. But...if I lie to him, I'm sure I will die.Gulping hard, I said,
Crystal's PovStaring at the sky, I was just wondering what is happening to me and my life. How I ended up as an unwanted soul of the entire world?Caressing my belly, I forced myself to be positive. At least, my babies were going to get the life that they deserved.I'm alone in the car driving to the house of Alpha Ramos. I guess he's also DISGUSTED by my presence but I'm happy that he's not with me.The Tyrant separated me from Grace whom I left without even having a chance to say goodbye face-to-face. I still remembered how Alpha Ramos mocked me before he left."You can see her for your entire life after giving birth to my pups."Heartless bast*rd!Cursing him makes me calm down, but I was still curious if I'm really carrying more than one baby. I meant he was after all an alpha who was much more powerful than me. When he kept saying PUPS, it shouldn't be wrong.I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice when the car stopped, and finally my eyes caught a luxurious mansi
Crystal's POV"You're here just because of the pups!""The moment you give birth to them, the next moment you will vanish in front of our eyes, especially from my son's eyes, because by then his Luna will be next to him.""So till the birth, just behave yourself! Don't dare cause any trouble for my son!"Her words made my heart wave with the reality that everyone keeps reminding me of! I kept my hand over my womb as a drop of tears slipped through my eyes. I curse myself for meeting Ramos at the hospital because that encounter would cost me my babies.Why? Why are they so heartless? Do I not deserve a heart that loves my babies because I am an omega? He is the father, but I am also their mother. It's me who will carry them and give birth to them. Then how come he got more rights on them?Without turning back towards her, I immediately ran inside the mansion where Ms. Rosalie was standing with a tray of food, "Ms. Roger, I got some soup fo_""I'm sorry, I'm not hungry right now," I sai
