77 concubines

I was forcefully brought back to consciousness when a cold bucket of water was splashed on my body.

 Shivering from the cold, I looked around my surroundings and noticed I was locked in a dungeon in the full moon Pack.

The ugly memory of what happened last night at the mating ball ceremony came flooding back at me, bringing me to the present reality of my life.

It made me realize that I wasn't hallucinating all along. 

The cell was suddenly opened by a fierce-looking guard.

"Who are you? Why am I here?"

I asked. 

The guard came inside and dragged me out without saying a word. He held me roughly, dragging me with him to a place I couldn't fathom. 

I couldn't question him too because I was scared that he might hurt me. . 

"Where are you taking me to? Please tell me if my mother is still alive." I finally summoned the courage to speak up!

He kept ignoring me until he suddenly stopped dragging me. 

I looked up to see myself in the pack's new building. My father just finished the new pack building project and planned to move in after the mating ball ceremony, before he was killed. 

"Who was this villain that killed my father and took over the full moon pack?" I wondered.

As though he could hear my thoughts, Alpha Lottana came out of the new building as the guard bowed to him in respect. 

"My greetings Alpha Lottana. Here is the late Alpha's daughter you asked to be brought to you." The guard said and pushed me forward.

I started shaking in fear, my heart was beating fast when I saw his face and his cold look. 

I was standing right in front of the man who murdered my father and captured me alive.

 I have heard about Alpha Lottana's devilish acts of wickedness to other packs and his many concubines.

"I was told you're cursed and without a wolf. You are weak and useless and don't have any value to this pack except in my bed as my concubine. Choose now to be one of my concubines, or you die." Alpha Lottana said in a mean and authoritative voice.

The pack members once threatened to sell me to Alpha Lottana as one of his concubines. I guessed their wish was about to become a reality.

I wasn't bothered if I lived or died anymore. I had lost everything precious to her.

 I also had a feeling that my mother was killed by the same enemies.

 I was about to tell him that I would rather die than be his concubine when my mother, Luna Anita, was also dragged out by the same guard that dragged me to Alpha Lottana.

"You're still alive, Mom. Are you alright? Did they hurt you?" I threw many questions at my mother without allowing her a breathing space to process her response.

"Enough of this nonsense." Alpha Lottana bellowed which made me and my mother shake in fear.

"I gave you an option. You have a choice to save you and your mother's life by becoming one of my concubines, or I'll kill the both of you now." Lottana warned. His baritone voice was more ferocious like a thunderstorm.

It was so heart-wrenching for me to see my mother go through this after losing my father. I didn't want to lose her the same way too. 

She just has to save them and keep them alive until they take back her father's pack.

."I'm not doing this because I want to; I'm doing it to save my mother's life and not because I want to be your concubine." I sneered at him. 

"It's none of my business if you want to or not. My guards will take you to my Castle." Alpha Lottana bellowed as he walked out on us. 

"I'm sorry, mom. I'm so sorry." I muffled in my mom's arms as tears began to flow down my cheeks.

My mother's posture was bad.

I could tell from the way I struggled to hold her. She must have been through so much.

"It's okay dear. You didn't have to sell yourself to him. Alpha Lottana is too ruthless for you. You shouldn't have," My mother lamented.

"I had no choice, Mom. I had to do something or else we wouldn't be alive to take revenge on him." I explained, releasing myself from their embrace.

The guard scoffed and tilted his head to signal me to move along. I gave my mother one last hug before I was dragged out by the guard.

"Why am I so unlucky? Why does the moon goddess hate me so much?" I cried uncontrollably as the guard led me to Lottana Castle. 

We got to the front of the mansion's gate and my hands began to tremble.

 I was terrified of what I would be expected to do as we walked into the mansion and went straight into Lottana's chambers.

Alpha Lottana was seated on his gold-encrusted couch that faced the door to the chambers.

 He got off the couch and his cold eyes were fixed on me, his gaze pierced into my soul. I couldn't dare make eye contact for too long.

"You have made yourself useful for once in your pathetic life. Your mother would be free to leave or stay."

I made a huge mistake. I was unable to hold in the pain I felt in my heart.

 If only I had a wolf, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out the way it is. 

"Your weakness amuses me." Lottana babbled, an awkward frown taking control of his face. 

He's right, without a wolf, I'm nothing, just another pitiful weakling.

"I'm more than you think, Alpha.

Don't underestimate me.," I responded, wiping the tears off my face.

"Haha!" Lottana erupted with laughter.

 "Oh really? I would love to see the stuff you're made of." he spoke sarcastically and placed his hands on my shoulders, pretending to care about what I had to say.

"Look here, I have two sons and 77 concubines. You shall not only serve me but them also." he said in a firm voice, displaying his dominance.

77 concubines? Is that even allowed? What a piece of crap!
