Theda POV
"Quick, pack your things. Everyone is crazy, they are all ferocious, and we must get out of the city," my mother said, with sorrow in her eyes, as she paced around the room, bringing out things from each corner.
I could read the sorrow in her eyes, flitting across them, as she made her way across the room. It sounded exigent.
"Mom, why are we going to leave? She's already a slave," Axel, my younger brother said, jumping up, with a sad look on his face.
I didn't know why she said that. It sounded like she was traumatized, blown away by the fact that I was finally sold after my Omega genes proved positive.
"You're purely an Omega, almost entirely. They would kill you, Theda. Julian is going to make sure he harms you," she said. I still didn't understand.
"W-hat do you mean by that?" I managed to spit out the words, rolling my eyes at her, dazed by her actions.
"They're going to kill you, Theda. The Alpha who bought you is ruthless," she mouthed out, with an obvious sign of fear dancing on her face.
Just as the words would travel through the ear, and I sank them deep, a wave of angst encompassed almost the entirety of me, and I felt the steam hurling out of my pores, while the liquid drowned down my face.
The curse had not left me. My life was not good. Maybe it was everlasting, I didn't know, but it was a page of self-fulfilling prophecy unveiling its rotten existence in my life.
"What are we to do now? How are we going to escape?" Axel cried, with a low-tuned voice.
My breathing ceased in my that as I heard the footfalls of the most cruel man I ever knew. He appeared over the door, with disgust written all over his face.
Disgust for me.
Disgust for a cursed child.
"Julian! Julian, please, don't do this to Theda, don't do this to her," my mother pleaded, crouching at his feet, sending an immediate gut-wrenching wave of surprise in me, blanching ripe.
"You monster," I called. The crying died down, and he looked down upon me. "You're the leech on our skin, an infectious parasite, a beastly creature. The goddess will pay you for your sins!" I yelled.
Swoosh. His hands palmed me right in the face, and his nails clawing me badly, I could feel my skin peeling.
"Take her to Alpha Tyler's pack. Make sure that she reaches there safely. At least, a prey is better devoured when fully fleshed!" He ordered.
My eyes rolled to the guards. They were the heavy gammas of our pack, and they couldn't stand our sight. We had now become their little plaything.
My father, the previous Alpha, trusted these men, and their sons. Now, they were hurting us, attacking and defiling our royalty. All because of my mother's love for this wicked man.
They grabbed me with hard hands, and their nails dug in deep. A whimper escaped my lips, but they didn't care and kept dragging me around the packhouse.
My mother cried and wailed, pleading to him, while my brother joined, wanting to get a hold of me. My face whipped to the side, as I watched other guards manhandle him, giving him a beat down.
Today was the worst day of my life. The day when everything finally crumbled.
They forced me into the midget car. I was more than half an Omega, while the other half of my hybrid self didn't yet manifest and ruptured, so I was a good Omega for an Alpha class.
To be candid, Omegas received the worst treatment. We were the last in rank, and we only either had to be a slave for the rest of our lives or if lucky, be the mistresses of Alphas.
Most of the cruel bidders wanted me as their slaves, a tool they could use to satisfy their nonsensical desires.
Thinking I got into safer hands, my mother warned me about this man.
Alpha Tyler he was called.
A monstrous creature, he was rumored to be.
That wasn't the first time I heard that name, but encountering him only made me shiver, as my bones weakened, and my tendons broke.
It was about an hour's drive. I tried to maintain silence, while the terrifying presence of the built Gammas had me shaking. I knew they were all shifters, and they could devour me if I attempted to run. I stood no chance. As soon as I had the feeling that we were near the borders of the pack we were heading to, I tried to calm down, but it seemed my wolf was announcing danger to me.
We drove past the borders, and I experienced the malicious stare of the sentinels positioned at the borders. It was dark, and we drove a long distance. I felt like throwing up, as exhaustion consumed the whole of me. The car came to a halt at a massive three-story mansion, and my stomach dropped as the Gammas stepped out.
They reached out for me, grabbed my arms, two Gamma on each side, and walked me up to two guards positioned at the large door. My steps were weak, and my feet almost faltered as we marched the ascending stairs past the fountain leading to the main door.
"Is she Alpha Julian's slave?" One of the men, supposedly a Gamma too, asked, as he examined me closely. My vision was blurry, and since it was at night, I didn't know what the men looked like, but their figure was intimidating.
"Yes. We have brought her to you. She's the Alpha's slave now. He may do to her what he pleases," one of the Gammas from my pack said.
The words left me dying. They shook hands, and the Gammas retreated to the car, and it was me against a new set of beasts.
A shocking expression appeared on their faces, and they stared at me, staring at themselves afterward.
"What the hell are you looking at? Get in the house!" The man bawled, trying to shove the expression he just gave.
I didn't know why they were staring at me like that, but his mouth was agape. One of them grabbed my arm, and the massive door opened before me, a wave of air slapping my face.
Inside the house was dimly lit, and it was as silent as the deathly hallows, and it was me with these men. I didn't know what they would do to me.
My chains cording me rattling, disturbing the silence of the house.
"She looks so awkward. The Alpha needs to see this," one of the men said.
Awkward? Of course, I was in this state.
My mind held hope, and my mouth shut for a momentary silence, before the house experienced a thunderstorm.
"You?!" The thick and throaty voice echoed around the house, and I turned around to see a masculine figure in the dark.
The Alpha.
Tyler POVA feeling of content ran through my mind, as my eyes scanned around the city, from the balcony of my apartment. I inhaled my smoke deeply and it went down, cooling my lungs, leaving the ecstatical feeling ramping up in me and springing up from my core to every part of my body. Somehow, I knew that something was running in me, a feeling I couldn't really tell, or distinguish from all other things I had in my head. It was already late at night, and I watched the outside world, with the buzzing orchestral notes of nocturnals thundering inside my ears. It was like anxiety I was feeling, but I really couldn't recognize it. I didn't know what exactly it was, but I had to fight against it. A wave of uncertainty swept all over me, and while it seemed that the feeling wouldn't while away, I had to find out what exactly it was that this was. I had to follow my instinct. My wolf, Tyson, suddenly felt exhilarated. Jumping, and howling constantly. "Tyson, what's wrong?" I asked, but
Theda POV As I was led down the hallway that I felt the Alpha had emerged from, so many things ran in my head.I'm now in a new pack.I have a new alpha.I am on my own, ALONE.Those things, I wasn't yet ready to sink down my mind. But one thing was sure, there was a bit of happiness lurching inside me. Why? I was finally out of the reach of my uncompassionate stepfather, Julian.Yes, I had always wanted to leave the fire moon pack, my original pack, ever since my father died two years ago. It's been a lot of hell and torment for me and I had prayed every night for my miseries to come to an end.What did my mother or brother, and my father do wrong to make us receive such torments after his passing? None, I'm certain. It was probably my said- cursed fate. Though ever since I was twelve years old, I had always been different and an irregular person, unlike the others. I met some bunch of Alphas' young daughters then and they seemed more dominating than me. Then my good father, who h
Tyler POVI watched as my mate's clone left the office, and Blake's eyes just made me cringe the more. He knew what the situation was, and I knew that he didn't want to tell me about it. It was killing me to keep it on the inside. I knew very well that this was not going to be a good idea, but for someone I had already paid for, there was nothing to lose."You aren't going to say anything about it?" Blake asked, taking to his feet, and sitting on a side table. He usually felt casual in the office."About what?" I asked him, trying to deny even knowing the feeling. He drew his face closer to mine, trying to study me. He looked at me judgingly, and I knew that his nose could go farther than his brains could. Irony intended, he was a very smart one."Don't tell me you don't fucking know what I'm talking about," he mouthed out, hissing afterward. Clicking his tongue severally, I knew he was ready to bring up the matter, and wasn't going to give up on it. "What exactly do you want to kn
Theda POV Slowly and miraculously, a week passed. I had taken the Omega quarters as my new home and tried my best to be law-abiding despite the multiple yells I received from Zoey. I lived in the shadows of every other person in the quarters. Like most of the Omegas, I wasn't allowed to go out of the quarter and only a few can leave when they have to run an errand for Zoey. One thing was strange and creepy. It was the way Zoey and a few of the high-ranked Omegas stare at me. It was really weird because I found them whispering after staring long at me but I pretended not to care much, neither did I confront them. I was done sweeping the assigned portion of the quarter, I was cracking my knuckles to relax my sprained little finger bones when someone walked past me, shoving me with a shoulder that caused me to stumble. I fell to the ground, luckily with my hands and I heard a roar of disgusting laughter. I arose, dusting my clothes as I spun to meet three girls. Two of them see
Theda POV I hung my head as I shut my eyes, pressed my hands against my sides, and curled my toes in my boots, mentally preparing myself to take whatever verdict I was given. No, it can't be death. I won't die without liberating my family from the horrible hands of Julian. "Theda…you'll go over to the packhouse to serve Alpha Tyler for today." Upon hearing that, I flicked open an eye as murmurings filled the courtyard. Serve the Alpha for the day? How will I do that? So many similar questions ran through my mind until his Beta spoke. "Be at the packhouse in the next ten minutes," he informed me. As he withdrew his eyes from me, he rolled them at Lena who was smirking, and left. Zoey gave me a fierce look before entering the house. "Theda," Jasmine called with her soft voice as she stepped up next to me. She had a frightful look on her face which got me nervous. "Glad you didn't get a harsher punishment," she whispered to me. Lena walked up to us with a sneer plastered on her
Theda POVHe was standing at the door, some meters away but I could still feel his hot breath, making it feel like he was just an inch away.As he entered the office, my heart sank like the titanic ship, my head was hanging and I felt my body tremble.His eyes went down to the shattered glasses of the vase and his frown deepened."Did you break it?" He asked with a groan, and taking another step, my heartbeat increased rapidly. Still on the floor, I couldn't help but notice that he was a good foot taller than me, his black hair was slicked back with the finest gel, and his chiseled jaw set tight as he suddenly clenched his teeth, returning his gaze to me.Damn it. I wasn't really checking him out, was I? I slowly arose, thinking of an explanation to give."I…I…""Do you know what the heck you've done?" He grumbled. Reaching the table in between two couches, he sent it to an edge with his foot, causing me to stumble backward and land on the floor again.He took a step forward, shoot
Tyler POVI watched as a maid took care of the broken vase on the floor. My eyes rolled to each and every fraction of it, while my thoughts were a conflict between Theda, and to the person which this vase was linked to. Selena.I caught a view of a large fragment of it, having a stain of blood on it, and I grabbed it carefully."Alpha, it's a part of the vase," she said. I gave her a dismissive look, which meant I knew what I was doing, and I placed the fragment in a jar, placing it next to the picture of Selena, staring closely at it. It made memories ring in me, and I tried to hide my emotions. I turned around to see the maid done with cleaning the mess. Blake walked in hastily to the office, and my eyes rolled at him, scanning his body language and heavy expressions. Was he here with his usual tantrums again?"Are you all right?" He asked me when he stopped in front of me."Is she okay?""Who…?""Her. Theda, I mean," I retorted, ignoring his first question. For now, it seemed l
Theda POV"Theda, are you awake?" The soft tenor voice of the doctor asked, making me tighten the muscles around my eyes."Guess you're fast asleep then," I heard him mumble as he left the room.I let out a gentle sigh as I slowly opened my eyes. The main door of the room was forcefully pushed open and the two girls who had left appeared at the door.My eyes meet their unpleasant gaze and I shut them immediately, cringing as they both giggled sarcastically."Hey new slave, are you pretending to be asleep?" One said as they walked up to me."Poor miserable thing. Let me guess, she thinks the best solution out of her unavoidable circumstance is to pretend to be asleep.""Ugh, that's petty. You better wake up, silly blonde."Fuck them. They clearly knew I was pretending but I wasn't thinking of putting an end to my act. Not so soon.I'm sure they'll let me be like the doctor did."Hm, silly blonde? That suits her better than her name."They giggled again, making the pit of my stomach twi
