#Chapter 13: The Mating Ceremony

last update Last Updated: 2025-10-09 10:56:44

Isla's POV

Stepping out into the square, I found Adrian, Tessa, and Gideon preparing to enter a sedan.

There were many cars behind theirs, a long convey for the pack to travel to the mating ceremony.

Standing beside Adrian, Tessa was dressed in a flattering satin green gown. Her hair was done up and diamond jewelry sparkled from her ears, neck, and wrists.

A pang of nostalgia struck me in the chest. How often, in days long gone now, had I been the one standing beside Adrian in a dress, about to attend an event with our families.

Then, I was the jewel on his arm, someone he smiled at and introduced with pride, even to people who already knew me.

Now, I had to follow behind Tessa and Adrian as nothing more than a servant.

No, a slave.

They entered their sedan. On instinct, I stepped forward, but this time it was Gideon who blocked my path, stepping right in front of me.

"Where do you think you are going, slave?" he said with disgust. "Slaves ride in the cars at the end of the convey." H

    Isla's POV"Tessa," Gideon said soothingly, stepping closer to his sister.Adrian turned Tessa in his arms and held her closer. Slowly, Gideon was able to take the whip from her hands. Gideon gave the whip to one of the omega servants, who backed away with it. It was still at the ready.As Tessa gradually calmed, she lifted her head, looked at Adrian and asked him, "Why haven't you rejected her?""Punishment," Adrian replied. "A fated mate's betrayal cuts deeply, both ways. I want her to feel the same pain that I have carried these past five years."Slowly, Adrian eased Tessa back away from him, putting some space between them."I plan on taking Isla to the mating ceremony banquet," he said. "There, I will socialize and find a more suitable bed partner. Isla, as my servant, will only be able to watch from the sidelines.""I could join you," Tessa said quickly.Adrian considered her, his face revealing nothing. "Perhaps," he said, which sounded non-committal to me but Tessa seemed plea

    Isla's POVI was caught, and with my phone clearly in my hands, plugged into Amy's charger, there wasn't a lot I could say that would get me out of this damning situation.Tessa, I knew, would never help me. She hadn't liked me in the past, and she hated me now. But Amy had been my friend once.If anyone would offer me mercy in this situation, it was her and only her."Amy, please," I said. "I can explain. Please."But Amy just stared at me coldly, before narrowing her eyes, stepping forward, and snatching my phone out of my hands. "You aren't supposed to have this. I'll be taking it.""But –""You hid a phone?" Tessa scoffed, though she seemed almost pleased, and somewhat excited, that I had done so. "That's worth ten lashes."I paled."Do you remember where lashings are doled out?" she asked me.I nodded."Go there. Every step in the wrong direction will earn you ten more lashings."Swallowing hard, I didn't see any way out of this, so I set one foot in front of the other, made my w

    Adrian's POVMoving on instinct, I blocked the knife that would have landed right in Isla's eye, batting it out of the sky and down to the ground, where it harmlessly clattered.While Isla was safe, the knife had cut into me, and a line of blood formed on my palm. A bead of it pooled, then dripped down onto the bricks of the square.At my movement, everyone froze.Behind me, Isla gripped her hand in the same place as my wound, yet I saw no blood on her in that location. Not that I cared either way.For now, I simply wiped my blood on my shirt. It wasn't that deep, and closed quickly. Calm and composed, I wasn't going to be bothered by a bit of blood.The pack watched me with varying levels of upset. I heard as the whispers started."Why would Alpha protect a slave?""He doesn't still care for her, does he?""He wouldn't. He couldn't.""Then why do this?"Gideon, my Beta, stepped forward. "Alpha –"I raised my hand, immediately silencing him and everyone else.When they were quiet, I s

    Isla's POVWhen I woke up again, I was in the storage room again, but this time some of the boxes had been pushed aside to make room for a cot and a small chest of drawers.Every single one of my muscles ached, but I still forced myself upright, worried now about my phone.Thankfully, the boxes that kept it hidden were in the same place, and my phone was still safely beneath them.Turning on the screen, I could see that Martha had called me a dozen times and messaged even more than that.Maybe now, alone in my room, I could finally get a hold of her and coordinate an escape plan. If we could get the police involved, then maybe I could be saved.I unlocked the phone, went to the text thread with Martha –The phone went dead. Cursing lightly, I tried to turn it on again, but it gave me the flashing signal of a battery with a line through it.The battery was dead.I closed my eyes as the feel of utter defeat washed over me.Yet I allowed myself for a moment or two of self-pity before ope

  • Enslaved but Fated to My Alpha   #Chapter 8: Lie

    Isla's POVI tensed. Grabbing onto the wrist of his exploring hand, I tried to push him away. At least, that was what I thought I was doing."What's the matter, slave?" he asked me, his voice dropping low and dangerous. It simultaneously filled me with fear and with longing. "You played the role of my whore so well in the past. Now your wounds have closed. Why not do it again, as we did in the past?"My body was reacting to his touch the same as it always had, and the mating bond was only amplifying those feelings – that lust.I wanted to resist him, but it was so difficult. The bond connected us together, making his touch, his closeness, feel like fireworks against my skin.But it wasn't just that. It was the past, the way I had always clung to him, trusting him with my body, knowing it would be good, that pushed me forward.The two things combined worked against me, and soon, I removed my hand from his wrist entirely to grab at his shoulders instead."Don't fight it," he said, a gro
