Amelia's Pov
Three days later
I stood in the dark corner of the poorly lit room as I watched my mum sleep in the cramped room, which was no different from a Sauna.
I was in a difficult situation, school was off-limits.
Mr. Henry made things worse for me, he wouldn't let me go anywhere.
After I passed out, he got into a fight with the beta and was humiliated. Since then he was always in a heated argument with my mom. Claiming she had deceived him, seems they both were hiding something from me.
She hardly stayed at home to avoid pissing him, and that gave him the right to do whatever he pleased with me.
He would accuse me of humiliating him, I was in a terrible position. I was subjected to physical and psychological abuse and was now facing accusations of destroying his property. He didn't want to believe I was abused and raped.
I was hurt and frustrated by his lack of belief. He always claimed Chris supported me because he was more than just a friend.
But I believe Chris's primary reason was that he believed me and understood that I was a victim of rape. No matter how complex the situation was, his support was a sign of trust, respect, and care.
In addition to this, Mr. Henry began forcing me into sexual relationships with his friends in exchange for compensation for the damages done to the house.
Today, Chris was going to pick his mate and I decided to honor the invite, not minding how Mr. Henry would react to me going to the pack house.
As I stood by the wall staring at my mum, I prayed silently to the goddess for me to be the future luna of the pack like Chris had promised.
Earlier, invites were sent to the maidens of our pack, exempting daughters from the family of defaulters.
Mr. Henry was glad as he made me work extra hours at his bar. While at the bar, Chris tried linking me but I kept blocking him off.
It was a surprise when his Second Beta Sam appeared with a package and an invite.
"I don't want to disobey the orders of the Luna, I have caused enough trouble, I'm the daughter of a defaulter, remember?" I said as he let out a small smile.
"Your father was never a defaulter, we both know that," Sam said, handing the bags to me.
"Mr. Henry is also my dad." I spat.
"I don't mind, Chris demands your presence. " He said, turning to leave.
I knew Mr. Henry would try to stop me from attending the pack house and my mum would support him to be in his good book, so I decided to drug him, hoping my mum had her shift that night, but unfortunately, she was home.
~~~~~~~
It was a perfect time. I put on the dress Chris sent, it was tight and revealing, not my type of dress but I didn't have an option as I slid into it.
Tiptoeing to the last room, I caught a glimpse of him laying on the floor, a spark of rage running through me.
His sight was nauseous as I turned to leave, if I spent one more minute there I might end up taking his life.
I walked down the creaking passageway and discovered he had locked the door, and I couldn't find the key.
What was he up to? I thought as I quietly walked back to my room.
It was late and Chris would be waiting for me, so I decided to take the risk and go through the window. On opening the window I was welcomed by the strong smell of liquor, I knew my dad's friends were still out drinking their lives away. I decided to be careful, and not get caught when I stepped on the broken glass in the process.
"Not again," I whispered
"Who's there?" The loud voice of Pete, my dad's friend, thundered as I stood wincing in pain, not trying to make a sound.
I stood like a statue, hoping he wouldn't find me, but he did.
"Hmm." He huffed standing before me and letting out an evil grin.
"I would recognize that scent even in death." He said as I felt the sting of his slap across my eyes.
At that moment, I hated myself more. I was so weak and submissive. He pulled me by my hair as I let out muffled sounds. I didn't want a situation where my mum would wake up to see me with the men she had warned me to stay clear of and in revealing clothes too.
I was devastated, as he threw me to the ground, ruining my gown.
"Do you mind telling me where you were headed?" He probed belching in my face as his friends laughed.
I watched in horror as he walked towards me with this lustful look.
"Not again, not now," I whispered.
"What are you doing out here, dressed like this?" He probed as I felt my throat go dry.
I knew they wanted something from me, and if I didn't give in to them, Mr. Henry would forcefully throw me to them the next day.
"What do you all want from me?' I said crawling backward.
"What we've always had!" A man my Grandparents' age whispered.
I knew that the more time I spent here, the more their sexual desires would increase. I decided to take a run for it, not realizing it was the full moon.
I ran aiming for the woods, hoping to lose them, not minding the thorns before me, as I tried getting to Chris.
Suddenly the cries of wolves behind sent chills down my spine, despite being drunk and their wolves so sickly, they were still faster than I was.
I hid behind a rock, as they ran past me. Just when I had thought it was all over and decided to take a peep, I was caught by Pete's Brown and Grey wolf as he shifted immediately, pinning me down in the process.
"Let me go!" I yelled in agony as his friends walked towards me with evil grins plastered on their faces.
I closed my eyes in agony as he ripped my clothes, his penis bulging between my thighs.
I silently prayed for a miracle, when an inner voice suddenly yelled "Mate" with the scent of freesia in a damp moss, mixed with a moonflower, filling the air as I opened my eyes, determined to get a glimpse of my savior.
His silver eyes which shone brightly aided by the brightness of the full moon had seared into my eyes, almost branding them with its dazzling light.
My eyes adjusted to the brightness slowly and I caught a glimpse of a scar before he turned away, handing me to a guard.
I was tempted to touch it and know what had happened to him, but I was already lifted onto the lap of his guard.
"Take her to the pack house."
His Voice was like an angelic melody, with a soft and gentle quality. It was so comforting and calming, that it made me feel at peace and fully reassured.
I felt safe as we rode to the pack house. The sound of the hooves rang in my ears as I kept my eyes fixed on him.
AMELIA'S POVMy eyes glazed over with a dreamy expression when I recounted my encounter with the stranger. I've never felt like that before, lost in his beauty, mesmerized by his eyes and his smile, I didn't notice when we arrived at the packhouse."I was riding on his horse, and I guess I must have been thinking of him for too long because the next thing I knew, his assistant was bringing me down from the horse. I must have looked like a complete fool, but I couldn't help it.But of course, I know I shouldn't let myself get too carried away. After all, he's just a stranger I met in the woods. But still, I can't help the feeling."You're safe now, miss, the Alpha is awaiting your presence." "Thank you, sir, can I get your name?" I wanted to know as he had a mask on his face. Maybe I could use him to trace his boss."That's not needed." Turning his back on me, he climbed up the horse and rode away."Hmmm, rude.""Where are you?" Chris suddenly mind-linked me, his voice with all urgency
AMELIA'S POVI slowly opened my eyes, as the bright sunlight shining through the window immediately blinded me.I groaned and turned my head away, feeling the exhaustion from the previous night's activities settle in my bones. I couldn't remember the last time I had slept this deeply, but it was as if my body was trying to make up for lost time.I immediately remembered everything about the party. The loud music, the dancing, the laughter, and the drinks. I had just had a glass and started feeling dizzy. I tried to steady myself, but the room was spinning, and I knew I had to find Chris to sit down. That's the last thing I remember before waking up in this unfamiliar room. At first, I was disoriented and couldn't remember how I ended up there. But then, I noticed the empty bottle of liquor on the table beside me, and it all came back to me. I had passed out at the party, and someone must have brought me here. I sat up slowly, feeling a headache coming on, and tried to take in my sur
Amelia's Pov"Congratulations, you're going to be a mother." I heard the doctor say.It's been two months since the incident at the palace since he told me he never wants to see my face again. The pack has taken a drastic turn during these months. Alpha Verdran was dead and Chris ruled in his stead. Lucy's wedding to her heartthrob was also around the corner.I still haven't gotten over what transpired at the palace. I've contemplated suicide but couldn't bring myself to do it.It's been two months now, and it still hurts just as much as it did on that night.And then there's my family. Mr. Henry and my mum didn't accept me. Mum picked her husband over me and called me a cursed child. She said I've brought nothing but pain to her and it's my fault my dad died.She didn't want me to live with her anymore. Mr. Henry accused me of throwing myself at him and she didn't want me to take her husband from her.I was thrown out of the house. I didn't know where to go, no one to rely on. I ha
Amelia's PovMy eyes welled up with tears as he spat those words. I recounted the painful memory of Lucy bullying me and how he had always been there.I've never imagined he would ever say something like that to me. "If you're done thinking about your pathetic life you can leave." He said as I felt the urge to just run and die.I was tired of crying, begging, and being used by people.I dried my face and decided to leave his office, but hadn't even taken a step when Lucy marched into the room."What's she doing here?" "She's leaving already dear," Chris whispered while she stared daggers at me.The scar from the vase I threw was still on her face.I felt their gaze follow me till I walked out of the room.I knew that neither I nor my baby would be safe in this pack after I informed Chris of my pregnancy. As I got home, I packed a few clothes and decided to wait for night hours to leave the pack.I knew it wasn't going to be an easy journey, fleeing the pack and searching for a new p
Amelia's Pov My heart pounded in my chest as I fled my home, fear gripping me with each step. I could hear the soldiers' footsteps echoing behind me, hot on my trail. I ran with all my might, not knowing where to go, my breaths coming in short gasps. The grasses and trees that I passed by seemed to reach out and scratch at me, causing small cuts and bruises along my arms and legs. I dared not look back, knowing that any hesitation could be my downfall.I pushed myself to keep running, hoping that somewhere, somehow, I would find a haven.I felt like I was swallowed whole by the forest. The trees towered above me, blocking out the moon and casting everything in a greenish hue. I had been running for what felt like hours, but it seemed like there was nowhere to go. I was hungry and my stomach grumbled loudly, reminding me of how long it had been since I had eaten. My mind kept drifting to thoughts of food, but I pushed them aside. There were more pressing matters at hand.I was scar
Amelia's PovI stared in fear as they grabbed me roughly and pulled me through the bamboo gate, back to the fetish house where I ran from. I could hear their whispers and growls as they dragged me along, and I knew that I was in deep trouble.But nothing prepared me for the sight of the scary leader with the mask, walking towards me with slow, deliberate steps. My heart raced as his scent and walking steps seemed familiar, but I was yet to remember where I met him.I realized he was the one in charge, the one who had the power to decide my fate.He looked at me with cold, merciless eyes, and I could feel the fear taking hold of me. I was taken to a little bed in the room where I was tied, leaving me unable to move. I struggled against the ropes, but they were too tight.And then, suddenly they began their incantation, a strange and terrifying chant that filled the room with dark energy. I closed my eyes and tried to block out the sounds, but it was no use. The words echoed in my mind
Amelia's PovI stared at him, his eyes were piercing and even though they were partially obscured by his mask, I could still sense the intensity of his gaze. I suddenly felt a rush of butterflies in my stomach as our eyes met, and I tried to brush the feeling off as I kept mute.But then he spoke up, his voice stern and commanding."Sit down," he said, pointing to a nearby chair.As I sat down, I couldn't help but notice how cute his voice sounded, despite its hard tone. It was almost as if he was trying to be tough, but I could sense a softer side to him as well.But then he surprisingly went straight to the point, demanding to know what I was running from.How did he know I was running from something? I tried to come up with a response, but my mind was blank.I didn't want him to know I didn't have a wolf and also didn't want him to know I was pregnant for a powerful Alpha who isn't my mate. All I could do was stare back at him, my heart racing with fear and uncertainty."I...I do
Amelia's Pov Greg immediately brought me into the lady who was in charge of the workers. I couldn't help but feel nervous. I was bleeding, and Greg had told me how strict and uncompromising she was, also how she doted on the rogue leader like he was her son. And now, here I was, in front of her, with a wound on my neck that I had received while trying to touch what belonged to him.As I got into her chambers, I felt her piercing gaze bore into me, and I felt as if she was assessing me, weighing me up, and deciding whether I was worthy of her attention. I felt myself shiver under her scrutiny, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to meet her expectations.I could feel her eyes flicker over the wound on my neck, and a flicker of concern passed over her face. "What happened here?" she asked, her voice low and intense.I hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say. I didn't want to appear weak in front of her, but I also didn't want to lie.But surprisingly, Greg came to my res
