I feel my heart dropping, my stomach churning, and my chest tightening. I felt suffocated from the pain of knowing it.
I knew it. This was going to end like this anyway. Love has always been cruel to the weak. I hated being born weak. An omega who has no right and is treated like trash. an omega who has to be kept quiet and obey because it would be a shame.
Why do I have to be so weak? Why do I have to be an orphan poor girl who has no one by her side other than some friends who pity me?
My inner wolf instantly took over as I can’t handle all the overwhelmIng emotions right now. There’s only one place I could think of right now, my inner wolf wanting to rampage.
And I let her.
I couldn’t clearly remember what happened, but a glimpse of it told me I was in a cave.
There was an old man sitting by a chair in front of me. His growing beard that reached his knee was in view and his eyes were almost hidden from the black cap that he was wearing. He had some candles everywhere, books scattered to the sides, and some rats were even walking around.
I blinked. I don’t recognize him, but I know him. If I’m not mistaken, he’s the necromancer who could do almost anything.
“Please make me stronger,” I said without thinking.
The necromancer looked at me “Who are you? Your blood is very active.”
I was quiet as he continued, “My dear, don’t you know who I am? Every wish has a consequence. It will be hard for you. You will be a threat to the world, and the world will be your enemy. You won't have a mate until you meet with the child of prophecy, the hybrid.”
Hybrid? What is this old man saying? “I don’t care. Just do anything to give me power.”
He fixed his composure and looked at me. He opened his eyes to see clearly and was muttering a few words. Pain suddenly flashed everywhere and I couldn’t remember everything.
His eyes suddenly flashed fear, “Your future looks dark. You’ll become a leader, a frightening one.”
“What?”
I wanted to ask but the necromancer suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
I was left with silence in the cave, now a bit woken up. What I asked will come haunting me one day but I don’t even care.
I immediately went back to the packhouse, fully drenched in sweat and a mind full of murder thoughts. I could feel the newfound power surging within me, and it gave me confidence.
Amiro came to me, “There you are, I’ve been looking for you. Where were you?” He asked worriedly then looked at my eyes, “What happened to your eyes? They are red.”
I ignored him, my head full of one thing in mind. Looking around, I find Valentina huddled to Darian by the corner, laughing at each other.
“You bitch!” I yelled, gaining the attention of everyone in the room, including the alphas.
"The moon goddess chose me as his mate. Sorry about that, Kamilah.” Said Valentina.
You sly fox. She even pretended to be my friend!
“You're just an omega.” She continued, “Did you think you'll have a chance with the alpha?” She sneered, grabbing Darian’s hands and I growled at the sight. Darian was just letting her, looking at me blankly as if he was under some spell.
‘Stop it, Kamilah. This Is my day’
I heard Darian's mind link.
I glared at him. So he’s on her side. I growled and felt my inner wolf taking over. I felt the pain searing into my every fiber until transformed.
Some left the banquet, some stayed to watch.
My wolf was a bit bigger than other omega’s, which is a bit of an advantage. I instantly came for Valentina but Darian blocked me. “Stop Kamilah!”
I stared at the man before me. I’m out of control and I couldn't even stop my wolf. Not that I want to.
“The moon goddess picked her, Kamilah,” Darian spoke again.
“But what about me? Darian, you may act naive but you know that I…love you!” I cried out in anger.
He scoffed, “Love? I merely pity you because you’re weak. I never loved you. Why are you too weak of an omega?”
“We may have been friends but… don’t you dare hurt my mate.” When I still stood up in an offensive stance, he sighed. “I don’t want to hurt you on this special night, Kamilah. But you give me no choice.”
He came to me in a flash and grabbed my hair, slicing my cheek along the way. I whimpered as his sharp claws made contact, hissing at the pain. My blood dripped, but I felt nothing except numbness. All I could think of was disbelief and in denial, hoping this was all a dream that the man who promised to protect me is not hurting me right now.
My wolf fought back and pushed him but he’s strong as he’s now a fully alpha, not budging from his place. I managed to get to Valentina who was snickering at the scene and I grabbed her throat, my body releasing a white light that blinded everyone.
I released all the overwhelming energy in my body, which made everyone faint right there and there.
Rufus, Darian’s father, and the past alpha came at me. “I knew this would happen.”
He attempted to stand and stop me but he struggled with my power. I could see Jessica, my bully watching with a whole grin, clearly enjoying this.
When a hand grabbed my shoulders, stopping me from releasing further.
“So everyone here just hates you? Poor thing.” Alpha Magnus’s deep voice said from behind me, holding my hand, but stopped when his hands collided with mine and I felt sparks.
He flinched, seemingly feeling it too. His eyes flashed red and he seemed angry and confused. His eyebrows furrowed at me. He looked at the blood moon from the sky that was fully showing up in the sky before turning back to me.
I felt an electric touch the moment our hands collided and darkness took me in.
I woke up ticklish, feeling someone is licking my wound. I opened my eyes to see a strange man licking a wound on my right. I winced. “You’re awake,” he said, still licking and he almost drank my blood. I realized he’s Alpha Magnus. But why am I here? The place is..different from my room. “You have been sleeping for the whole day.” I touched my forehead, wondering what happened, “Where am I?” “You’re in my pack.” He simply announced. “What?” His pack…the RedBlood pack? He sighed, “I know things might have shocked you but…Your alpha banished you, and since I’m nice, I am taking you in.” I nodded, now remembering what happened. Darian and Valentina are mates, and I attacked them and that was just all I could remember. I felt a sharp pang of headache and I held my breath. “What happened after that?” Alpha Magnus was still licking my right side, and I felt ticklish now. “Uhm..why are you still licking me?” “You have a wound. And you have such unique blood.” He pointed o
“Oh, seems that Alpha Magnus wants to see you, I’ll escort you to his office.” Just then, I could sense someone digging into my way. I glanced and saw a woman from afar. “And who is that?” Dimitri looked at the woman and rolled his eyes, heaving a tired sigh as if she’s done dealing with the specific woman. He smiled sheepishly, holding my arms, “I advise you not to deal with her.” He was about to grab my hand when a voice stopped him. “Dimitri!” The woman called out and Dimitri muttered a curse. “Here she comes.” He whispered. I blinked, feeling confused. Is there something wrong with the woman? “Oh…look what we got here. this is the new one?” The tall blonde woman came, smiling at me, but I don’t have to be stupid to notice the look behind her eyes. “Stacy…good to see you,” Dimitri replied. “It's so nice of Alpha Magnus to host a party just for…this kind of being.” She insulted me and I raised my eyebrows at that. “Excuse me?” I defended myself, “I am an Alpha Queen.
Once I was calmed down he asked if I was ready and I nodded. “Alright, grab my hand.” I did as he ordered and held his big hand. I could feel the veins and the callousness on his palms. “From now on, do as I say, Kamilah. Look into my eyes.” I did as he told, seeing his chocolate brown eyes melting my own and he concentrated. “Follow after me. I, state your name, is now free from my past pack and is now in the BloodLust pack, under Alpha Magnus. I will do whatever my Alpha asks me to, accept his orders, and let him mind link.” I said the words he uttered and after we were finished, I could feel a sharp pain in my mind, a strong magnetic field on our hands that was still clasped together, and my inner wolf battling inside. I groaned in pain, falling to my knees. Alpha Magnus caught me before I could hit the floor and he grabbed my arm, whispering in my ears. “Calm down. I didn't mean to harm you. You just need to go through this process quickly and it will leave soon.” “I
“Wake her up.” “Kamilah…you must wake up now.” I blinked as the bright sunlight hit me. What time is it? My body instantly alerted me to see two tall men standing by the door, watching me. I realized it was Alpha Magnus and Dimitri. “What-What’s wrong?” I asked curiously, not remembering why they were here. “The sun is high up now.” Alpha Magnus remarked sarcastically, his tone so cold that it could slice a saucer. I glanced at Dimitri beside him who was giving me some signals. I just raised my eyebrows, asking him to elaborate. Dimitri sighed, “You have training today. Remember?” I instantly stood up, now remembering it. “Oh haha right!” “Get dressed. We’ll wait for you at the training grounds.” Alpha Magnus said before leaving. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, wasn’t it just yesterday that he was “nice” to me?” Dimitri walked closer to me, “He hates tardiness. Please understand our alpha.” “Dimitri! Come!” Alpha Magnus' voice thundered from below the stairs.
The next training did nothing. Alpha Magnus was true to his words at “treating me harshly” as he decided to step in between my training with Dimitri. “Step aside Dimitri. From now on, I’ll be her training partner.” He said after a while and Dimitri glanced at me. He sighed, nodding at his alpha and leaving us. I clicked my tongue, “Don’t you have other tasks to do as an Alpha? I mean, like monitor your other members?” He’s so keen on the idea of “protecting” me…as if something had attacked me. As far as I know, I’m safe here. Why is he so up to his riled-up sleeves and always on alert? Well, he’s one of the terror alpha after all. Of course, this harsh training would be normal. “You can launch at me,” He said, giving me many openings. I did as Dimitri advised me. Since I was small compared to most people here, he wanted me to take advantage of it and be much quicker. I managed to land a blow and he shook his head, “Still not enough.” He grabbed my arm and hit it, making m
ALPHA MAGNUS' POV I gulped down the glass of wine in my hands and winced in disgust at the taste. My mate’s blood is much more appetizing than this. Ever since I tasted her blood, she’s always been the one I've been craving. It’s intoxicating me. And it kills me that she’s not aware that she’s mine. And her smell, oh her so lovely scent. It’s a mix of flowery, and honey, and tastes so sweet. I could just inhale it for the whole day and never get tired of it. I don’t even sleep, but that scent alone would let me snore for the night. That’s how much power she has over me. So much power that it’s scary how she could easily manipulate me in the future…if she wanted to. Knowing this, I know I’m damned. No, I have to be patient. I have to let time pass and let her discover it on her own. I know she’s been adjusting to her new pack…my pack….and things are still confusing for her. But a woman was standing in front of me. I glared at her, not in the mood to get laid tonight. She ha
KAMILAH’S POV “Alpha…something happened… I need your help.” I instantly mind-linked Alpha Magnus, now desperate. He seemed to hold a grasp of things as he replied, “Stay where you are and don’t move. I’m on my way.” I gulped, to think she had just become my friend. And she’s Owen’s mate. What would he do if he knew? Alpha Magnus soon arrived in his black furry wolf with ten backups, including Dimitri tailing behind him. He approached the tree and sniffed. “The attacker is just nearby. Dimitri, trace him!” Dimitri, in his sandy fur, quickly moved and got five of his men with him as they ran off. I faced Alpha Magnus, “Him? How’d you know?” He gritted his teeth, “He must be the only one judging by the claw and the markings. From the looks of it, he did it so abruptly.” He then looked at my body checking for any signs of bruises, “Are you hurt?” I shook my head, “I’m alright.” “Good, report to me everything that happened and leave no details.” He sharply ordered and sp
Stacy scoffed, “You keep on coddling her ass because she’s new to our pack. From the rumors, I heard that she’s from her past Shadow pack who attempted to kill the mate of her crush…isn’t that right, Kamilah?” Everyone got quiet at that, watching Stacy with wide eyes. Dimitri rolled his eyes, “Shut up, Stacy.” I pursed my lips, gulping down the lump in my throat as I remember that scene again. Stacy knows this is my weakness and she is using this as a chance to put me down. Dimitri wanted to stop me but he sighed and just let me. I cleared my throat and spoke up, “Let me be clear, Stacy since you brought up my past.” I started, breathing in. “I was blinded by too much rage and jealousy that time that I attempted to kill my beloved’s mate. But I didn’t manage since they stopped me, so technically, I didn’t kill anyone.” I approached her and whispered in her ears, “So watch what you say, I’m stronger than you, so don’t keep pushing my limit or you’ll surely be out of sight.” I
