"B-BEAST?"
Delilah stuttered as she could not take her eyes off his eyes.Her whole body was shaking in fear. She heard a loud growl which made her fall to her knees to submit to him.The growl was so powerful that she lost consciousness and fainted.The next morning,Delilah felt a light in her eyes. When she opened her eyes she immediately closed them.The sunlight directly fell on her face. It bothered her to keep her eyes open.She gradually sat up and opened her eyes slowly. She roamed her eyes around and gasped.She was in the dark forest.The trees around here were very big and dark green. The sunlight kept touching her face from the corner of the leaves of those trees.She remembered what happened last night. Her eyes widened. She shook her head and stood up but whizzed when she felt pain in her knees.Yesterday her step mother pushed her. That time she got hurt on her knees and then last night when the beast growled she kneeled on the ground with a thud and got hurt a second time.'Beast...' She thought about him.The way his orange eyes looked at her, it looked like he was really offended by her."No, no. I can not stay here." She told herself.She looked for a way and tried to get out of there. She started to walk but something caught her eye.It was the hurricane lamp she came with.It was broken. Was that broken by falling down or because of the sound of the beast's growl?It was her foolishness to come here. She was a fool. Otherwise, why would she come here? She could have died by the beast. She still remembered, there was a woman living beside her home when she was fourteen.That woman lost her son. She told everyone about how her son went to the forest and was hunted by the beast. He did not come back again.That time everyone in the pack shook in fear."He will kill me. He will kill me. He will kill me."She kept chanting the same words as she headed away.She frowned when she could not memorize the path."I forgot the way!"She screamed. "How can I forget the way? No, no. I can't forget that. How can I go back? Where will I go? What if the beast tries to hunt me again? This time he will kill me for sure."She scolded herself for coming here. She should have thought about it first before stepping into the forest.The chilliness of the air made her quiver.Being an Omega was very tough in their pack, after all her rank was the lowest rank among others.Omegas were born to be slaves. Some of the Alphas bought them for their sexual pleasure. Some of the buyers came to buy but found themselves as their mates. So they accepted them.But it was not going to happen with Delilah.Her step mother wanted to sell her to men. She would let them play with Delilah's body as much as they wanted. Delilah's 'No' was nothing to her and her second husband.Delilah tightened her fists. "No, I can not go back there. She will complain to the Alpha and find me soon. Alpha will scold her and tell her to take care of me as her child. What about after that? She will sell me in the dark night without the knowledge of others."Delilah knew how that woman was. She tried to tell the Alpha about her mother beating her for asking about the money her father saved for her. After that Alpha only scolded Naomi and told her that she should take care of her since she did not have a child and it was her husband's daughter. He even told her that it was Delilah's right to take the money for her living. But Naomi only nodded her head to him and did not do anything as she was told. After coming back home, she beat her more and warned her not to tell others again.The pack never gave any respect to Delilah because of her rank at the same time men attempted to use her because she did not have a parent to protect her. Most of the time it was because of her scent too.So why would she go back? She could not. Her relatives did not have a great bond with her either since her father and mother both were dead.She looked around and went to a path her heart told her to go.She heard a few muffled voices from afar. She thought they would help her so she headed to those voices.She almost reached them. There were a few young men who looked like wood cutters. They had axes in their hands.Delilah's eyes lightened up. She understood that the way was right. She was close to the outside. She did not know where she would go but right now she did not want to get killed by the beast.When she was passing the way one of those men noticed her."Hey! Who are you?"Delilah stopped. She looked at them and replied,"I am sorry to disturb you, please keep doing your work."She was about to step forward when she heard them."Grab the girl. She is an Omega."Her heart pounded. "No, no. Not again the same problem."She saw them coming to her.Delilah looked at the way where she wanted to go and turned around the opposite.Looked like she could not go back anymore.She started to run. She looked behind. They were following her.She tried to run fast.She did not know where she was going. After a long run, she did not realize they lost her in the dark forest.She kept running and felt her strength was losing.Suddenly she saw a man doing something in her way. His back was facing her.His broad shoulders and muscular arms were telling that he was a warrior.She could not stop her steps and bumped into him.He turned around and she was stunned.She was about to fall back but he grabbed her waist to support her.She looked at him carefully.He was a handsome man with a few scratches on his face. His front hair bangs covered his forehead gracefully, almost hiding his beautiful eyes.If people looked from afar they would say he looked dangerous but closely he was really handsome.She was lost in his facial features. But his deep voice made her come back to her senses."Who are you?""Who are you?"Delilah kept staring at the man as if she was lost on him."Hmm?""Who are you?""Delilah."He loosened his grip and she fell to the ground. "Aaah! Why did you do that??"It was the third time her knees got hurt. She might become cripple soon."Just go back from where you came from." His voice was cold and shook her from the inside.He turned around and started to walk ahead.She looked at his back. His mullet didn't reach his shoulder line.A handsome but scary man!She stared for some time until he disappeared from her sight."What a strange man!" She mumbled. Before she could ask for help, he turned his back to her. She tried to stand up. She took the support of a tree and stood up slowly. "I am feeling hungry." She cried.She was starving. She looked back to the way from where she escaped from the wood cutters."I should have told the man about this incident. But he is just rude. But wait!"Something caught her mind.He was someone who did not get affected by her
Delilah started to walk and an unknown fear was eating her alive.She forgot to tell that old man about her seeing the beast. She was afraid of him. Who knew when he would come after her again just like last night?'I am still confused about how he did not harm me. I clearly saw his blood thirsty Orange eyes. Is he blind at night? I hope so.'She thought and focused on her way.Suddenly she heard a loud growl."AAAAH..." She screamed but put her hands over her mouth. The growl echoed through the whole forest.She shook her head in fear. She ran as fast as she could. Tears streamed out of her eyes.'He will eat you alive.'Naomi's words kept chanting in her mind.She saw a little light in the dark forest. It was like a hope for her.But it was far away from her. She made her way to it, avoiding the loud growls.The growls stopped when she closed the light. She thought the beast was following her and would kill her.Unexpectedly her right hand was caught by someone and she screamed,"No
"Your death.""W-What?"He stood up and her heart skipped a beat. She thought he would hurt her.But she was wrong. He went to the kitchen and put some fruits on a plate.He came back and placed the plate on the tea table in front of her.She looked at the plate of fruits and then at him."Don't act innocent. Just eat and leave."Then she realized she was hungry. She had not eaten for two whole days. She glanced at the fruits but she could not stop herself from devouring the fruits.She grabbed the apple and started to eat hungrily as if she had never eaten any fruit before.He looked at her and sighed. He walked out of the house.When she saw him leaving the house she paused but again started to eat.She did not have any time to think about whether he gave her a poisonous apple as he told her he was her death. She was starving like death.After eating a few apples and grapes, she felt a little better. The floor was made of wood, the stairs, the ceiling, everything. 'How can the woo
"You are digging your own grave."That voice was something she did not expect. That was very in-depth. Something that could kill her alive.She was losing her mind thinking about what was happening around her.The weakness was eating her slowly. Her frozen body needed warmth.She wanted to open her eyes but was not able to do it.Lifting her hand she wanted his support. Then she felt the warmth she wanted. A tear rolled down from her closing eyes.She sobbed. "Will you give me shelter?" She asked as she tried to stand up while taking support of his hand.It was like she knew him for a while as if he was her nearest person to offer her protection from her family who wanted to sell her as a prostitute, from those men who wanted to destroy her.For a moment, she felt like staying with him as he wanted to be with her.Questioning this sudden thought, she considered it was all because of her dizziness.Or was it really her fate?She could not stand up but was about to fall, he scoffed,"I
"I killed her."Delilah stared at him. Her hands and legs were shaking. "W-What are you s-saying?"He shrugged his shoulders and continued to sharpen the stake.She stepped back. She could not believe that someone could kill their own mate.Her real parents were mates. But her father might be in an extramarital affair with Naomi. So the next day after her mother's death her father married Naomi as his chosen mate.Though he did not like her mother still he had to be with his mate when she was alive because no one could resist their mate bond.Mates were the part and parcel of a werewolf.She assumed he was a warrior wolf and the way he was working on the killer weapons, she was totally confirmed about it now.But how cruel of a man could he be? He killed his own mate, his fated mate!"What? Have you changed your decision about staying here?" He asked.She bit her lower lip as she began to think about the consequences of living there.'If I live here, he will kill me. If I go out of her
"How dare you touch my things without my permission?"Everett got mad at her. Her whole body was shaking as she heard him."I-I didn't have a-anythi-""Can't you even speak clearly?"Delilah took a deep breath but it was not easy to take a breath when he caged her by grabbing her arms."Master, don't get mad at me. I didn't have any clothes to wear."He glared at her. "Next time, don't touch anything without my permission. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequences." He pushed her.She almost fell to the ground but controlled her steps.She lowered her head as she was really embarrassed about everything. "Don't touch anything, don't talk to me without any reason, don't disturb me, and most importantly, stay away from me." He threw a bunch of rules at her.She nodded her head while looking down."Words.""Y-Yes, Master."He left the house again leaving her alone in the house.She unhurriedly walked to the kitchen.She was upset by his behaviour. She didn't mean to steal anything. She
"I made dinner, can we eat together?"There was a frown between his brows, departing two brows by a thin line."Did I tell you to cook for me?" "No, Master. But… Can we eat together? Eating alone is really boring." He wanted to scold her but when he saw she was running towards the table and pulled out a chair for him, he did not yell at her.He walked to the table and sat down. She immediately took a plate and served him dumplings."Please eat vegetable soup too." She recommended as she pushed the bowl to have a plate.He stared at his plate for some time.Delilah sat down on a chair beside him slowly. She was afraid that he would not like her cooking. However, her step mother always told her that she cooked well, otherwise she would not let her stay in the house.She tasted the soup to see if everything was okay or not. 'Everything is okay. Then why is he not eating anything?' She asked herself.With curiosity, she asked him,"Don't you like these dishes? I am sorry, I don't know w
"Why? Aren't you the slave who agreed to warm my bed?"Delilah was stunned hearing his words.She indeed said to him about the slave thing but at that time she had no other option. He was not letting her enter so she tried to convince him somehow."I-I didn't m-mean that."Everett's dark gaze made her shake from the core."Never make a commitment if you don't mean that." He said and let her go.She immediately moved away from him and sat on the other side. She felt tears in her eyes. She wiped them and was about to get out of bed, but his voice stopped her."Sleep here, in this bed." He turned around and his back was facing her.She lay on the bed and covered herself with the quilt which was arranged on the leg side.She did not know why she said that to him. Now he would treat her like a slave with her.Slave!She did not want to take the tag on her head and saved her chastity by running away from her pack.How did she become a slave now?The night was long but passed as she slept w
