“Father, please listen to me this time.” I begged with tears in my eyes. “Stop crying. You are spoiling your makeup.” “I can't do this father, he threatened me.” I sobbed into my palms. “You can and you will. Wipe your tears, Alphas don't cry.” I expected him to ask about the marks on my neck and wrists but he didn't. I even twisted my neck bearing the pains but it seemed as though he was blind. ****** Kendall wanted to find her mate as soon as possible so she could get out of her father's clutches. But when she found her mate, she realized that she had made a big mistake in choosing to follow her mate. He was nothing like she thought he was. He was everything she didn't want in her mate. He was worse compared to her father. What she had been trying to run away from all her life, she ended up running into. ***** All he wanted was to find his mate. He didn't expect that she would turn out to be the daughter of his arch enemy and the one person he had been looking for to take out his anger on.

CHAPTER ONE

Kendall's POV

“Try not to disgrace me today, Kendall. I mean it.” I rolled my eyes. I hated these gatherings. It was filled with fake smiles and laughter.

“I will try my best.”

He shook his head. “Sometimes, I wish it was your sister who had come first.”

“Why is that? Let me guess. Because, you can control her but you can’t control me.” he sighed.

“One day, you will understand that I have always had your best interest at heart.” I rolled my eyes again. Sometimes, I wished that I wasn't born into the family I knew as mine.

My father had always preferred my sister to me because she was easier to control. She was just like his puppet, doing everything he asked her to without any questions. I, on the other hand, was the black sheep in the family. I had a mind of my own and did only things that benefited me.

The door opened before I could open it and someone opened his palm for me. I rejected it. I could step down from the car myself. I didn’t need the help of an unmated Alpha who needed my father’s help.

“Kendall.” My father whispered behind me but I shook my head.

As I walked into the ball, I felt sick and disgusted. I wished I could go back, but my father wanted me to meet some of his acquaintances. I knew the reason behind it. Even though I continuously told him that I wanted no one apart from my mate, he kept trying to match me with powerful Alphas or their sons.

“Kendall, keep up.” he said for the umpteenth time. I wished he could walk an hour in the heels he forced me to wear. Maybe, he would understand me a little.

“Ah!” He exclaimed when he noticed another familiar face and I sighed.

“Kendall, this is Alpha Nate of Blackwood pack and his son, Jake. Alpha, this is my eldest daughter, Kendall. You must have heard of her. She is the strongest warrior in the west.” I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. He was only proud of me when he had to use me to get what he wanted.

“I doubt if there is anyone who isn’t aware of your daughter’s immense strength. You must have seen my son in one of those popular magazines and television. He is a well known figure in the human world. His intelligence is something humans can’t do without. The president can’t take a decision without hearing from him.”

“Dad, you are exaggerating again.” I smiled. This was the first time that I have seen someone who thought a little bit like me.

When I saw that my father was neck deep into the weird conversation he was having with Alpha Nate and his son, I decided to take the chance to receive fresh air.

I exhaled as I walked up the stairs to the balcony. I wished I could pull my heels. My head collided with someone and wine splashed on me. I raised my head to scream at him but he was faster than me.

“Oh my God, I am so sorry.” he kept apologizing. He pulled his handkerchief from his pocket and tried to dry me up with it but I held his hand.

“Don’t, it will only grow worse.”

“I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

“It’s okay. Thank goodness it’s not white.” I chuckled, trying to make the environment lighter.

“Did you come here with a date?”

“No, but I did come here with my father.”

“Maybe, you could accompany me to the balcony.” He could be anyone. He could be one of the power drunk males like my father or worse, he could have a mate who would kill me. I shook my head. We were just going to have a conversation. Nothing else.

“Yeah. I was also heading towards there.”

“The crowd is a bit intimidating right?” he asked as we kept climbing up the stairs and I nodded.

We talked about a lot of things on the balcony. I suddenly froze when my nose caught on a unique scent. I felt the urge to run after the scent.

“Are you okay?” I nodded my head trying to act normal. 

The intoxicating scent grew. I wondered if I was the only one getting drunk. My breath seized and the hair at the back of my neck stood in attention. ‘Mate’ I have found my mate! My wolf kept jumping in my head and I felt lightheaded. I couldn’t turn around to look at his face. 

“Alpha.” The man in front of me bowed. 

“My lady, this is my Alpha…” I watched his mouth move but I was lost in my head to understand what he was saying.

I have finally met my mate but he caught me with his beta. Will he think of me as a whore?

“Hey!” someone snapped their fingers in front of me and I opened my eyes. The Beta was nowhere to be found and in front of me was the most handsome man I had ever set my eyes on. His piercing gaze drew me in to continuously stare into his deep blue eyes. My eyes moved over to his heart shaped lips. They made me want to take them into my lips and know what it tastes like. His well shaped jawline made him look hotter.

I cleared my throat and wiped my mouth when I noticed that I was drooling all along. “I am sorry.” I said awkwardly and he chuckled.

“There is nothing to be sorry about. I am all yours. You can stare at me all you want, I don't mind." I felt my cheeks becoming pink.

“You look beautiful in that dress.”

“Thank you.” I whispered.

We talked about a lot of things. During our short conversation, I discovered that we had a lot in common. For example, we both hated gatherings like this and we also hated egocentric Alphas.

‘Where in the world are you, Kendall? If you make me lose face in front of all these people, be ready to dig your crave.’ my father's mind linked me before I could reply to him.

“It was nice meeting you, but I have to go now.”

“Is this another Cinderella story?” I chuckled and shook my head.

“My father is getting worried.”

“Then maybe I should come with you. I am going to meet him sometime in the future. It won’t hurt to bring the meeting forward.”

‘Kendall! You are really getting on my nerves. Thirty seconds is all you’ve got.’ the smile wiped off my face.

“I have to go.” I turned around and ran all the way down without waiting for him to say a thing.

I spotted my father in the midst of some men. Their auras made me want to bow but I am an Alpha, I can resist them. I wonder what they were trying to do.

“Father.” I whispered when I got to him.

He smiled a little. I knew he was trying hard to hide his anger. “This is my daughter, Kendall. Kendall, this is Alpha Jason and his son Drake. Drake is going to take over from his father in a few days.”

“Alpha, this is a great party.” I commented , not knowing what else to say. The men burst into laughter.

“She is such a modest girl. You are so lucky to have her. I know that she will male a good Luna. we made a good choice trusting you, Alpha Atlas' ' alpha Jason said and i turned to my father in confusion. What was he talking about?

“Oh yes! I forgot to mention it to you. This is the essence of our coming here. To talk about your wedding coming up in two weeks.” 

I laughed hysterically hoping that they would tell me that they were joking. “You are joking right?'' I asked my father, but he shook his head. How could he do this to me?

“You and Drake should get to know each other.” my father said, but I shook my head.

“Be a good girl, Kendall.” my father whispered into my ears but I shook my head. He was not going to destroy my life like he destroyed my mother.

Drake held out his hand urging me to come with him but I shook my head. 

“Kendall what are you doing? You are getting on my nerves.” my father whispered again.

“Come on Kendall. Let’s talk about our future and your roles.” Drake smirked but I shook my head.

“No, I don't want to.”

“Do not pay attention to my daughter. She is just shaken by the news.”

“No I am not. I told you that I wanted no one ap[art from my mate and I have found him.”

“Forgive my daughter, I think she is a little bit drunk. You know how these young ones are.” they chuckled as my father said the dumbest joke.

“I hope that won't be a problem when we get married, Alpha.” I felt like throwing up. Another control freak in my life, was my life moving from worse to worse?

“Aren’t you all listening to me? I said that I have found my mate and I want no one else but him." The look on my father’s face grew worse but I didn't care. I will not let my father turn me into a puppet just like he did to my sister and mother.

My father was about to say something when we heard a crash. We turned around to see two males rolling off each other. In the midst of the chaos, I sneaked outside knowing what my father was capable of.

Am I the only one who thinks something is missing? Chapters 1-4 while having the same characters, seem totally unrelated to the story beginning at chapter 5???? Did I miss something here??

CHAPTER TWOAlpha Declan’s POVI watched as her small eyes increased in diameter.“It was nice meeting you, but I have to go now.” she said immediately. What was wrong with her? I wanted to ask her badly, but I didn't want her to freak out. We just met.Instead, I smiled and asked her, “Is this another Cinderella story?” my heart melted when she chuckled again. I wanted to listen to the sound of her voice all day.“My father is getting worried.” she finally said and I nodded. At least, I have found out that it was her father and not some crazy guy.“Then maybe I should come with you. I am going to meet him sometime in the future. It won’t hurt to bring the meeting forward.” I said jokingly, but I meant it.She laughed, taking it as an unserious joke. She opened her mouth to say something but shut it again. I could see the excitement drain off her face. She sighed. “I have to go.” she said and turned around before I could say anything.I tried to stop her but she ran down the stairs li

CHAPTER THREEKendall’s POV“Bold of you to think that what you did to me that night was okay.” I rolled my eyes wondering why he kept bringing up that night’s event.“I told you that I have found my mate.”“Who is he? Is he an Alpha?” I nodded my head.“Of what pack, Kendall? What is his name?”“I don’t know. We didn’t exchange names.” I bit my lips aware of how stupid I sounded.My father shook his head at me. “He could be a lowly Alpha of a weak pack. Do you think your getting together with him will do our pack any good? We will be mocked by others.”“I don't care about that.”“I don't care what you think Kendall. You are getting married to Drake and that is what is going to happen. And don't think of running away. You will only end up pissing him off.”The door pushed open and the Beta rushed inside. “I’m sorry to disrupt your meeting Alpha but you have a guest.”“What guest?” I sat properly and strained my ears.The Beta stared at me for a while as I pretended to be reading the m

Chapter FourKendall’s POVMy mother and my sister stood outside the door. My mother shook her head at me asking me to keep my mouth shut but I rolled my eyes. If he controls them, he can't control me.“I will rather run away with my mate than end up with someone who is like you!”“I am not surprised. You are a result of your mother's disobedience.” He said bitterly, pointed at my mother and left.“Listen to your father, Kendall. You can't…”“No mom, I'm going to do whatever I want to do. Don't expect me to live under his shadows like you. Sometimes, I wished I wasn't born into this family.” I spat. My mother stared at me for a while then she shook her head.“Follow what he says, Kendall. That is the only way we can survive.” I shook my head. I was going to make a difference.******I stared at myself in the mirror as they worked on enhancing my beauty. This was the day that I will start writing my own story.The door opened and my mother stepped inside. She wasn't smiling. She just

Chapter Five Kendall’s POVI never thought the day of the festival would turn out like this. The air should have been filled with excitement and joy, but instead, it felt heavy with tension and resentment.My father, as usual, had been in one of his moods, barking orders and criticizing every move we made. Watching my mother and sister obey his every command without question made my blood boil.It was as if they were programmed to do whatever he said, no matter how unreasonable or unfair it seemed. I couldn’t stand it anymore.As we prepared for the festivities, I pulled my mother and sister aside, hoping to reason with them. “Can’t you see what he’s doing to us?” I whispered urgently, my frustration seeping into every word. “We don’t have to take this. We can stand up to him, together.”But before I could finish my words, my mother’s hand connected with my cheek in a sharp slap. Shocked, I stumbled backward, the sting of her betrayal burning on my skin.“How dare you speak against y

Chapter SevenDeclan’s POVAs the last of the rogues fled, defeated, Kendall turned to me, her eyes beaming with tears in them. “Are they gone? Are we safe now?” she whispered questions.Turning to her, I offered a reassuring smile, though I could see the fear lingering in her eyes. “Don’t worry, Kendall,” I said, my voice calm and steady. “We’re safe now. The rogues won’t dare to attack us again.”Kendall nodded, though her expression remained tense with worry. I could understand her apprehension; it was only natural to fear the unknown, especially in times of danger.I knew that my pack was more than capable of handling any threat that came our way. “Alpha,” one of my men approached. “We’ve taken care of them, but a few managed to escape into the woods. What are your orders?”I considered my options for a moment before nodding decisively. “Send out a search party,” I instructed. “I want those rogues found and brought to justice. We cannot allow them to continue threatening the terri

Despite my best efforts to push aside the hurt and disappointment, they lingered like a dark cloud, casting a heavy cloud over the new day.As I lay there, the soft rays of sunlight filtering through the curtains, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness wash over me. I had stormed out of the room in a fit of anger after Declan’s cold rejection last night.Unable to bear the thought of facing Declan after his rejection, now in the quiet solitude of the morning, I couldn’t shake the feeling of regret that ate at me from within.With a heavy sigh, I rolled over in bed, expecting to find Declan lying beside me, his presence a constant reminder of the distance that still separated us. But to my surprise, the other side of the bed was empty, the sheets cold and made.Confusion and disappointment flooded through me as I sat up, scanning the room for any s

Chapter NineKendall’s POVTwo weeks had passed since I arrived among Declan’s pack, and each day felt like years of loneliness. Declan remained as stubborn and cold as ever, his indifference to me constantly reminded me of my failure to win his affection.The pack members, too, made it clear that I was not welcome among them. They treated me with disdain and suspicion, their eyes cold and unwelcoming every time as they went about their duties.It was clear that they saw me as nothing more than an outsider, an stranger among them. Despite my best efforts to fit in though, to prove myself worthy of their acceptance, it seemed that nothing I did was enough to earn anyone’s trust.No matter how hard I worked or how honestly I tried to please them, I remained a stranger. But somehow, I refused to give up hope. Knowing that he was the key to everything, I was determined to prove to Declan and his pack that I was worthy of respect, that I belonged by his side as his mate.One evening, as I

Chapter TenKendall’s POVAs the day of the wedding approached, a sense of dread settled over me like a heavy cloud. I couldn’t shake the feeling of terror of what the future held with Declan as my mate and husband that gripped my heart. But with the arrangements for the wedding already made, there was no turning back now. The ride back to my father’s pack for the ceremony was a silent one, filled with tension and unspoken resentment between us. I sat stiffly beside Declan, staring out the window as the scenery blurred past, my mind a whirlwind of emotions.I missed my home, the familiar sights and sounds of my father’s pack. Returning felt like stepping into a nightmare, a reminder of the life I was leaving behind and the uncertain future that awaited me. Throughout the journey, I didn’t say a word to Declan, and he seemed content to let the silence stretch between us. Perhaps he too was wrestling with his own doubts and fears, or maybe he simply didn’t care.As we arrived at my fa
