Chapter 2

"Because I have a fiance!" He stated and then walked away codly.

  Karen stared rightly after his shadow till it was no longer in view, then she broke down crying, without caring for the fact that she was going to ruin her make up and that wasn't going to please her father.

  "Pr.. Princess !" Rahinna called, she was worried for her.

  "I want to be left alone!" Karen muttered with tears flowing from her face, she was used to crying alone without no one to comfort her.

As Rahinna left her, she broke down crying her heart out, she damned the consequences of being caught by her father and let herself cried out. 

She was heartbroken, shattered beyond measure and the worst of all was that there was no one to comfort her. 

 Why is she this ill fated? She had bear to live with the hatred her father had for her hoping that one day she'd have a mate who would love her, How she had counted her eggs and was waiting for them to hatch, but a second rejection by her mate? 

 She suddenly heard an angry growl inside of her, she was startled as she paid rapt attentions to listen to the voice again, and suprisingly she heard the growl again.

  "Kiara?" She called out disbelievingly, she'd had never believed that her wolf, Kiara would be also devastated like she was to express her anger. 

  "You don't want to get on my bad side today, do you? " It was her father's commanding voice that Jolted her away from her thought. 

  "I... I " Karen stuttered, cleaning her face off hurriedly. 

    "Is that how you appreciate me for throwing such a feast for you, Ingrate?" She could tell that her father was very angry and was battling with the urge of hitting her because some of his guest was already trooping in.

  "You really have the guts to want to shame me amongst this crowd. Now, you would cheer up and put on a cheerful face in order to please these Noble men or else I would have you locked up in the dungeon where you were meant to be!" Her father threatened and then walked away leaving her flabbergasted and transfixed to that same spot.

  Karen blinked her eyes few minutes away from when her father left her transfixed to that spot, Her life was in her father's hands and therefore she had no option than to oblige to her father's command.

  She robbed off the tears in her face and smear some powder to brighten her face, she put on a faked smile and then started walking to the main floor of where the grand feast would be held.

Her father must be gullible if he thinks she was going to let herself be sold at the auction like a garbage, she had the right to her life and she was done with him planning everything for her, treating her like a trash when she was actually his biological daughter, she was done with everything and needed to experience a new life, a life she wishes would worth more than her present miserable life. 

She had it all planned, She would escape from the feast and away from the palace to any nearby town, even though she hadn't figure out where she'd be going, she was determined to leave the palace.

 She had to take this bold step for once in her life, Most now that she's aware that her destined mate have a fiancee and there was no way he'd be claiming her as his mate, she have to learn to live for herself.

  Just within the blink of an eye, the feast hall was already crowded with different people, different noble men and females. Karen would have been happy for being the celebrant of the feast, but she cared less because of what was going on around her.

  The feast started, but she was absent minded and was lost in her thought thinking of how to move on with her escape plan.

  She'd was still lost in her thoughts when she heard her father standing in the big podium and was beckoning on her to stop forward.

She stood up, to his command, that was when she discovered that all eyes was fixed on her.

 She wasn't used to getting much attention and she suddenly started feeling discomfortable. 

Karen braced up herself as she started walking to the podium where her father stood, she ignored the stares she was getting and continued walking until she got to where her father was.

 She gave a bow to her father and then he encouraged her to stand by him.

Her father made a formal introduction to the crowd, introducing her as his only daughter and child. Karen scoffed once she heard him referred to her as his only daughter, the last time she checked, never for once had she recalled being treated as his daughter. He made her go laborious work meant for the males of their pack and other heavy tasks and still punish her at every attempt he gets for getting a task failed or not done properly. He whips her at every chances he gets and the scar at her back skin was a living testimony of her father's hatred for her. No matter how hard she tried to please him, he always find one fault or the other and would use that opportunity to get her whipped, and now he had the guts to call her his daughter when he hadn't been much of a father.

Karen smiled to the crowd as she waved at them, while they cheer at her, from the look her father was giving her, she could tell that he was warning her not to do anything stupid but impress him.

  A guard walked up to her and whispered in her ear that she had to dance for the noble, she knew it was a ploy by her father in order for him to begin his auction.

Music was played and Karen was confused on how she would Mastermind her escape plan, while in her thought, she started dancing giving herself to music, she was very good at dancing and she start moving to the tune of the beat.

 Suddenly, all the lights went off making a booking noise amongst the crowd, Karen wondered what had happened, she'd thought it was a power supply oitage and was already thinking about using that moment to flee, but when she saw her father drew out his sword and there was chaos everywhere, she knew it wasn't a better option as she might get killed.

 Before she could catch in what was happening next, she found herself being blindfolded by someone and all she could hear was screams before she passed out.

                ****

The rays of light from a particular source shone on Karen's face, she stretched her body lazily and popped her heavy eye lid open, which she quickly closed due to the reflection of light in her eyes, she turned her eyes away from that angle and faced a less reflected angle.

Her body hurt a bit, so also was her body, she was feeling as though she had just finished a laborious work.

Her eyes scanned around her environment, that was when it dawned on her that she was in a strange place which was more like a dungeon, she was in a dungeon?

  What was she doing there? Her body froze as she suddenly recalled being blindfolded and taken away by someone from her birthday feast.

Her palm turned sweaty as her cheek turned pale white, she had been kidnapped! The tremor shooked her as she took the courage and walked to the door of the dungeon to see if she'd see her captor.

 As she walked to the door, her eyes narrowed to the heavy chain that was used to lock the door of the dungeon, she poked out her head from the iron door and found two guards at the entrance.

  She cleared her throat trying to get their attention, and then they turned to face her relief washing over their faces.

 A more taller one quickly walked away as though he was going to make a report, she'd had wanted to ask the other about where she was but she decided to wait for the other guard to come back.

Heartbeats later, a royal call was made and then she realized she had been kidnapped by the Alpha King of another Pack perhaps.

 She'd was curious to know why she was kidnapped and who had her kidnapped.

 In her anticipation, she forgot to stand up and obey the royal call.

The door to the dungeon went open, Karen was still sitting in the spot she had sat earlier, she immediately glance at the visitor she was having.

  Her eyes took in that familiar figure whose face was covered from the Ray of the sunlight, she knew she had seen that figure somewhere, but she couldn't recall where she had seen it.

 As the figure Walked closer, even with the strides he took, Karen could recall such footstep, but the issue was that she couldn't recall who it'd be.

 Karen could feel her heart racing heavily, her body had already heated up and she wondered why she was this scared just by his walking step, she had gone threw several whip lashing but she hadn't for once been this scared.

  "You're finally awake!" She heard that domineering commanding voice, familiar,. But where?

  His figure finally came to her view as he stopped at her front, she shifted backward in shock as she gasped, her eyes bulging out.

  "You?" She found the word escaping from her lips unexpectedly as she gaze disbelievingly at the figure.

 "Who were you expecting?" His voice came out mocking, as his face which she described as handsome smirked devilishly giving him a Savage look.

  "I'm still in doubt that you can do this to me, why would you have me kidnapped and in a dungeon? I thought that I was your Fated Mate" Karen said devastingly.

  "You're not my Mate, but my worst enemy!" He shouted, his angry voice booming all over the room as it shooked her and send cold shivers running down her spine, if she had always described her father voice as being too strict, his way more than her father's.

Even with his cold voice, she still managed to courageously looked at his voice, his face was looking at her with hatred written all over him like she was some sort of natural disaster or forbidden disease. The hatred she had always seen in her father's eyes was nothing compared to how scary his eyes looked.
