Chapter Four
Maya’s POVMy heart raced asI stood in front of my step sister Stella's closed bedroom door. The faint sound of hushed whispers was what made me curious. I raised my trembling hand and slowly turned the doorknob, my breath caught in my throat. What I just saw inside shattered my world.The room was dimly lit, the soft glow from the bedside lamp casting an intimate shadow of two people having sex.My eyes widened as they fell upon Stella entwined with a figure I recognized all too well Delta Jacob. Their naked bodies moved together and they kissed each other in a passionate way that I had never seen before. Each touch, each whisper and moan seemed to echo in my chest, a painful reminder of what was unfolding before my eyes.My heart, once full of innocent hopes and dreams, now ached with a painI could hardly bear. Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as the truth stabbed at my heart like a thousand needles.Unable to tear my gaze away, I watched as Stella and Delta Jacob shared an intimacy that should have been reserved for me and him . It was as if a dagger had been plunged into my chest, and with every movement they made, it twisted even deeper. Silent sobs racked my body, my shoulders trembling as tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched.My world had come crashing down in the most painful way imaginable. The weight of my emotions threatened to crush her, suffocating me with an overwhelming sense of loss. The image burned into my mind was oneI wishedI could erase, yet it was etched there, a painful scarI couldn't ignore.As the minutes stretched on, my pain turned to anger. Anger at Stella for betraying my trust, anger at Delta Jacob for breaking my heart even before they get to know more about each other, and anger at herself for ever believing that getting a mate will make me free. With a choked sob, I finally tore my gaze away from the heart-wrenching scene.I stumbled back, my legs feeling weak beneath her.“All this was too good to be true , did father and stepmother do all these to humiliate me ?” l sobbedIn a daze, I retreated from the room, closing the door softly behind her.I leaned against the wall in the hallway, trying to steady my ragged breaths. The raw agony coursing through my veins was almost unbearable.Suddenly, the bedroom door swung open, and I 's heart skipped a beat. Stella and Delta Jacob stood there, their flushed faces a stark contrast to I 's tear-streaked one.My eyes locked with Stella's for a brief moment, the hurt and shock reflected in both their gazes.“Why?” I whispered“Why will anyone want you , you're like a slave and I told him everything about your miserable life. You're only good with being a maid , I just showed him a good time and gave him a reason to choose me over you” Stella said with so much arrogance and she wasn't even sounding sorry“But mother said he was dangerous …” I said looking at Delta who looked bored and unbothered“It doesn't matter as long as he is rich and has a handsome face. I will make him mine and my mother helped me by sending you away from the house !” Stella said with bitterness“And you, won't you speak for yourself?!” I shouted at Delta Jacob“I don't care about your family drama , even if I take you as my mate . You will only end up as my breeder because you're not my type so it's better I sell you off as a sex slave “ he said shrugging his shoulders as if it was the most normal thing to sayWithout a word, I turned and fled, my feet carrying me away from the painful reality I had just witnessed."Maya wait!" Delta Jacob ‘s voice called out behind her, but I didn't stop. I ran blindly, my tears blurring my surroundings as I stumbled out of the house.The night air was cold against my skin, but I hardly noticed. my heartache was too consuming, my pain too all-encompassing.My sobs echoed through the empty streets as I ran, my heart heavy with the weight of my shattered dreams of freedom and I'm super glad that my brother wasn't home to witness all that.Everytime I close my eyes , I keep seeing the naked image of Stella and Jacob which makes me more angry.My breaths came in ragged gasps as I sprinted towards the outskirts of town. My legs carried me, fueled by a mixture of pain and desperation.My heart still ached, my tears mingling with the rain that soaked my clothes. My mind was a whirlwind of emotions, memories, and confusion as she pushed herself onward.Finally, I arrived at the stream that I remembered from my childhood. It was a place my late mother had often brought me to play by the beach.The sound of the running water was a bittersweet melody that resonated with memories of laughter and joy. My heart clenched as she looked around, feeling the absence of my mother's comforting presence keenly.I sat down by the water's edge, collapsing onto the muddy ground. Wrapping my arms around my knees, I buried her face in my hands and cried.The tears flowed freely, mingling with raindrops and the stream's water. I felt a mixture of grief and anger, my heart heavy with the weight of loss and betrayal.As I sat by the stream, memories of her mother flooded her mind. As the darkness deepened, I suddenly realised that it was nighttime. Fear crawled up her spine, and my pulse quickened.Panicked, I took a step back, my heart racing even faster. In my haste, my foot slipped on a wet rock, and before I knew it, I fell and rolled into the cold water. Panic overtook me as she struggled to stay down and my limbs struggled in the water.Someone should please help me ! I don’t want to die! I have not even had sex yet! Someone save me , I don’t want to die a virgin and I need ri stay alive for my brother!” I kept shouting and howling but no one seemed to be around and it’s already late at night.At Least I will die with a full stomach I thought because I am already giving up. I have been trying to save myself but it feels like I keep getting deeper , my entire body is covered with water. There is water entering my eyes and ears and I can already feel the taste of the swimming pool chlorine in my mouth.*Splash Splash Splash*“Help me! Someone should please help me! I can't die and leave my brother alone in this wicked world !” I kept shoutingIt feels like I am fighting a battle, I tried to spread my hands and splash my legs around the water but the weight of the water kept drowning me and making me sink down.I tried to hold my breath and swim but all my efforts were in vain . I kept choking and coughing under the water which made my entire body become weak. I blinked away the water tirelessly till my body gave up and I blanked out into total darkness.Chapter Five Maya’s POV Boobs.I can feel a stranger’s strong and large hands pressing down on my boobs, that’s the first thing my fuzzy brain registered. I tightened my eyes which were already closed as I tried to make my aching and blank head remember what on earth is going on since I don’t have the energy to lift my sore body up and face the pervert taking advantage of the situation and my body.“Young lady, try and open your eyes if you can hear me '' came the stranger's baritone voice before I could open my eyes and see what’s going on in my surroundings. I felt his lips briefly on mine,the lips were firm yet gentle on my before it left my mouth. I let it go the first time thinking it was a mistake and I was in some kind of messed up dream but then the strong yet soft lips came down on my mouth again and captured my lips again but this time around the stranger parted my lips with his mouth which made my mouth open wider. “Am I in heaven or is this a dream ?” I thought . I cou
Chapter Six Maya’s POV I knew that something was wrong the moment I woke up from sleep. I had a bad feeling about today but I brushed it off. I am tired , heartbroken and not in a very good mood so I ignored my instincts and noticed that the house is awfully quiet when I was walking down stairs towards the dining room which is close to the kitchen. My family loves to gist, argue or watch the television loudly but the house seems too quiet today, no music was playing in the background and I also didn’t hear the sound of Haden playing around which made me really suspicious.I woke up pretty late today ,I stared into the mirror with my dishevelled hair and SpongeBob pyjamas to rehearse what I will tell my parents since I still haven’t heard a word from Delta Jacob since last night and my face is still red and visibly swollen up from the swimming pool accident I had last night. The large amount of concealer I dabbed to my face still couldn’t hide it.“Mother , what’s wrong ?” I asked ,
Chapter Seven Maya’s POV “Jacob, how could you do this to me and my family,what did we do to you to make you betray us?!”I tried shouting through the tape on my mouth but it only came out as a small muffle with no one paying attention to me.“Tell them what you saw before reporting to me…” said Alpha Aaron, commanding Jacob who still looked like a little child despite his long height in the presence of Alpha Aaron’s brooding presence.Delta Jacob, my supposed fated mate who cheated on me with my step sister didn't even spare me a glance as he went to stand beside Alpha Aaron with a grim expression looking at father. “Alpha Aaron, I saw this poor and low ranking Omega Lucas exchanging packages with another omega from our enemies pack, the Nightshade Pack and coincidentally,one of our power plants got attacked on the same night. I even have a picture evidence ….” Said Jacob bringing out his phone and showing a picture to Alpha Aaron before bringing it toward our face and true , ther
Chapter Eight Maya’s POV I was too heartbroken to even take note of where the car is driving me to , I silently kept crying because I am scared of what lies ahead and I’m also worried about my family. What if the Alpha King comes back to hurt them? So many things and questions kept coming up in my head , the biggest of it all is why did Jacob betray my family and I like that ? I can’t remember me or my family offending him so why ?! The cars finally stopped after passing through large black gates into a mansion that looked as big as an estate but my eyes were too blurry with the tears for me to notice the details. I heard rumours of how rich the Alpha King was and this gigantic mansion proves it. “Lock her up before I decide what to do with her” was the only thing the cruel Alpha said before disappearing to only God knows where. Still in tears , I kept quiet as his men carried and dragged me towards what looked like an underground dungeon. The place is all stuffy , smells terribl
Chapter Nine Maya’s POV “Who is it ?”“What do you want ?”“Don’t dare try to hurt me , I can be scary and dangerous too!” I shouted and threatened while standing upright and on alert , ready to fight off any one that tried to harm me but a middle aged chubby woman came in alongside a young man who looked about my age.He was dressed stylishly in bright colours.“Oh please hun, you’re too weak to do anything and you stunk by the way” the young man said while chewing gum and closing his nose with his pink painted nails. “What do you want from me ?” I asked , I felt a bit relieved that it wasn’t the Alpha’s men that came in. These two looked problematic but not dangerous, they don’t look like they will harm me. “Just shut up and follow us . When the Alpha gives an order , no one questions it” said the elderly woman while roughly dragging and pulling my hands out of the cage. The young man closed the door behind me before they led me outside where I had to close my eyes immediately be
Chapter Ten Maya’s POV I stared at the red pieces of clothing in my hand trying to think of a way to put it on my body. This small stretch rope doesn’t look like a cloth at all.The guy noticed me being hesitant so he pushed me towards the bathroom. “Be fast, we still have to work on your makeup and hair . He wants you tonight and you need to look perfect” he said with so much sass. I can see some of the maids around me giving me pitiful looks but I didn’t care, the staff sympathising with me just makes this whole thing more humiliating.I took the piece of clothe that looks like a rope and heels to the bathroom and after what seems like eternity , I figured the dress out. The red dress was so soft and felt nice on my body, it stopped before my knees and exposed my legs …it was off shoulder with tiny bows as sleeves , it left the upper part of my body bare and the corset on the bra area made my cleavage look bigger and fuller.The back of the dress is completely strapless, the dress
Chapter Eleven Maya’s POV I held my breath and kept looking around the opulent office, heart pounding in my chest. I had never been in a room so grand, so intimidating. And the man behind the desk was the most imposing thing of all.He sat in a high-backed leather chair, his broad shoulders hunched over a stack of papers. I couldn't help but admire the way his suit hugged his muscular frame. He was handsome, in a dark and dangerous way, with piercing blue eyes that seemed to stare straight through her.I took a hesitant step backwards out of fear , her heels clicking against the polished floor. The man looked up at her, his expression hard and unyielding."How dare you defy me?" he growled.My heart sank but I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders, determined to show him she wasn't afraid but before I could talk back to him ,his phone rang. He casually picked the smartphone and brought it to his ears , his eyes darkened while receiving the call before he hung up and we immed
Chapter Twelve Maya’s POV I looked down at the red tiny dress as my lips wobbled. Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to be taken as collateral for the crimes my father never committed but I got more brave when I remember that I sacrificed myself to make sure that my family is safe because I love them. My head is filled with different thoughts as my trembling hands held onto the handle of the dress; I stepped out of it carefully and let it fall to the ground;My white skin came into view; I had never been naked in front of a man before, and the first man I would show her nakedness to was this beast. I wished I wasn't this vulnerable, I wished my father had made the right choices and didn’t get himself into trouble and I also wished that Jacob was a more decent man then I wouldn’t be here in this fucked up position. ''Take off those too. '' He said calmly while his eyes focused on the lingerie on my body. Tears filled my eyes; I stared at him with so much hate and disgust; I had never se
