Chapter Eight
Maya’s POVI 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 terrible and dark, there was a small bed by the corner and a toilet without a door at the far end.The only rays of light that came into the dungeon was through the small window which had iron bars in rows.I was pushed into the room before the men locked it and left with the hefty keys that were making annoying dangling sounds.I was treated like a prisoner and a slave for doing nothing wrong , that’s what broke me the most. I went and laid down on the very hard bed before curling my body into a small ball. I am so scared , heartbroken, hungry , tired and felt sick because of the terror of the unknown.The Alpha King said he will sell me as a sex slave and that was the last thing I will wish on anyone on this planet earth. I tried my best to be strong and not cry but my weak body gave way and the tears wouldn’t stop streaming down.The room is dark with nothing so I couldn’t keep up with time , I don’t know if it’s day or night. The only thing that helps me in keeping track of time is the little window , I guess the time of the day by the intensity of the light and when the chirping sounds of bed woke me up the next day… I knew that it was morning.I spent the whole night thing of a way to escape this hole and help my parents out before taking my revenge on Jacob first before the cruel Alpha but all the plans that came to my head were unrealistic and I will end up dead if I dare atemo them, the worst part of all these is that I am a weak omega so I am not even strong enough to break the bars of the window and escape even if I transform into my omega werewolf form.No wonder people insult and look down on these omegas, we are completely weak, hopeless and only act as a fool in the games of the stranger park.My heartbeat literally stopped when I heard the sounds of rattling metals. I squeezed myself to the wall sacred that the Alpha has already sold me off as a sex slave but instead a plate of small portion of rice and sardine was pushed inside alongside a bottle water before the door closed again, I’d didn’t even get the chance to see thee person with only means that I can’t beg anyone to save me in the mansion.“Am I some kind of dog that they caged and keep feeding ? I won’t eat their food “ I said angrily while crossing my arms , I ignored the rumbling sounds of my stomach and how dry my throat felt because of the thrust. I haven’t eaten anything for 24 hours and the little pride I have left in me kept me from touching the food till someone opened the door and kept another plate of steaming and delicious-scented macaroni and cheese alongside another table water.The smell was so delicious and my chest was already hurting because of ulcer and hunger.The person picked the first plate and before the hands could carry the bottle water along, I quickly ran and took it alongside the second meal that was brought to me.I inhaled the delicious meal and thanked the moon goddess for providing me with a delicious meal in this hell. Food is now my new comfort and I forgot about my pride and didn’t lift my head till I finished eating up all the macaroni and cheese at a single go. I also drink both bottles of water , I still feel hungry and weak but my head seems to be clearer and my stomach stopped making the horrible and embarrassing sounds.“I know that I went against my word that I won’t eat anything but on second thoughts, I need food to fight this battle ahead” I whispered to myself while I stumbled into another wave of tears and slept when I remembered everything.Few days have passed and the cruel Alpha hasn’t come to visit me even once and this made me curious and anxious. Is he still looking for a buyer or did he completely forget about my existence? I don’t even know which is better but staying locked up in this smelling and congested palace is begging to drive me crazy to an extent that I have no more tears to shed.The only thing keeping me busy are thoughts and plans of how to escape this place and plans to take revenge for my family after escaping this hell. Sometimes I sing Taylor Swift’s songs to fill the empty vacuum in my heart and in this scary, dark and cold dungeon they dumped me.About 4 or 5 days later , the key to the dungeon shifted and instead of me seeing my plate of food and water as usual , I saw a figure entering the dark dungeon and my heart started racing with fear. No one has spoken or visited me since I was abducted mso this is suspicious and scary.“Who is it and what do they want to do with me?”Chapter Thirty Eight Maya’s POVApproaching Alpha King Aaron at his extravagant party, my heart raced with fear. "I-I'm so sorry," I stammered, anxiety tightening my voice. "It was an accident. I didn't mean to spill the food."Aaron's stern expression intensified, sending shivers down my spine. "Do you understand the consequences of your actions?" he growled, his tone cutting through the buzzing background of the party.Fear etched across my face, my eyes wide with trepidation. "Please, Alpha King Aaron, I didn't mean any harm. It was just clumsy of me."The room fell silent, all eyes fixed on the unfolding drama. My heart raced as I awaited Aaron's response, expecting the worst.Unexpectedly, Aaron's hand reached for his pocket, pulling out a pristine white handkerchief. The guests gasped, astonished at the sight of the ruthless king showing an uncharacteristic gesture of compassion.Without a word, Aaron gently wiped away the food from my face, his touch surprisingly tender.

Chapter Thirty Seven Maya’s POV The corridor, once a refuge, was disrupted by the looming presence of Alpha Aaron, the host of the extravagant party. As he approached, a sense of authority radiated from him, his sharp gaze taking in the scene – a drenched me, wrapped in a borrowed tuxedo coat, and Declan, standing like a shield against the turmoil that had marred the evening.Alpha Aaron's expression darkened, his alpha instincts sensing the tension in the air. A low growl escaped him, a visceral manifestation of the anger brewing beneath the surface. His eyes, usually warm and welcoming, now bore into the room with an intensity that sent shivers down our spines."What's going on here?" Alpha Aaron's voice, a thunderous command, sliced through the corridor, demanding an answer to the disturbance that dared to interrupt his meticulously planned party. The room, once filled with whispers, fell silent in the wake of his question.Stella and Jacob, who had briefly bowed to the son of th
Chapter Thirty Six Maya’s POV The echo of my pounding heart resonated through the kitchen as I took a step back, the sudden presence of Stella sending ripples of fear through me. Before I could comprehend what was happening, her grip tightened on my hair, yanking me backward. Pain shot through my scalp as I stumbled, desperately trying to regain balance.The glasses I held, remnants of the party's revelry, slipped from my grasp, shattering on the unforgiving floor. The crash reverberated like a discordant symphony, drawing the attention of the entire room. Time seemed to freeze as the fragments scattered around me, a chaotic dance mirroring the shattered pieces of my composure.The drinks I had so carefully prepared cascaded down, drenching me in a cold, humiliating embrace. A stunned hush fell over the party as the liquid dripped from my hair, down my face, and soaked through the fabric of the chef's coat. Every eye in the room turned toward me, a collective gasp punctuating the aw
Chapter Thirty Five Maya’s POV After almost dying , I was left with no choice as I hurried around the kitchen, making sure the drinks were just right, and adding those final touches to the food spread.

Amidst the festive chaos, I couldn't shake the idea of escaping.While arranging appetisers, my mind started to sketch an escape plan. The urge to slip away grew stronger, but something held me back. Declan's face kept popping into my head, disrupting the exit strategy forming in my mind.The memory of Declan stirred a storm of emotions.

I shook my head, trying to break free from the enchantment threatening to derail my focus.The party's energy surged, engulfing me in a sea of joy.

Chapter Thirty Four Aaron’s POVMaya's eyes fluttered open, a newfound vitality coursing through her. The room, once shrouded in concern, now bathed in a warm light as life returned to her. She sat up, greeted by the concerned gaze of Declan. A shy smile played on her lips as she acknowledged him, her gratitude evident."Thank you for saving me," she whispered, her voice filled with sincerity. Declan returned her smile, a reassuring presence in the aftermath of the tumultuous events.However, before Declan could respond, Nina, who had been observing the scene with a certain impatience, rolled her eyes. "I'm the one who saved you," she declared, her tone tinged with annoyance. Maya, realising her oversight, lowered her head and directed her gratitude towards Nina."Thank you," Maya said softly, but Nina, seemingly uninterested, brushed past her without acknowledging the gratitude. With a dismissive air, Nina made her way toward the door, her focus shifting from the healing moment to t
Chapter Thirty Three Aaron’s POV In the chaotic ambiance, I found myself urging those around me to disregard Maya's sudden collapse. "Let's not be held back, we're heading to the party," I declared with a sense of urgency. My plea, however, fell on stubborn ears as Declan, unyielding, resisted the call to revelry. Swiftly, without a moment's hesitation, he scooped up Maya's limp form, cradling her in my arms like a delicate bride.The party's distant sounds faded as he carried Maya to a quiet room, the gravity of her condition sinking in. Gently placing her on a nearby surface, I felt a rush of responsibility but I don’t have conscience and don’t care about anything that happens to her.Declan’s phone emerged from his pocket, fingers dialling swiftly to summon a doctor to her aid.
