LOGINRen’s POV
"Little beauty, you've finally fallen into my hands!"
A lewd, mocking voice suddenly echoed from above me. I snapped my head up, and my blood ran cold when I saw who it was. It was Malachi, the Beta from last night.
Panic surged through me as I looked around. We weren't heading to the place of torture. We were in a desolate, secluded spot deep in the forest, surrounded by thick, suffocating bushes. This was the most remote part of the tribe, a place where wild animals roamed and ordinary people dared not go.
"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath. I had been so drowning in sadness that I hadn’t been paying attention to where we were going. My mind had been blind.
This Beta was infamous for his cruelty. He took anyone he wanted, regardless of age or gender, and forced himself on them. He had done terrible things to my mother in the past, and now he had brought me here. I knew exactly what was on his mind. He wanted to have sex me.
Terror gripped my heart, making my hands shake. I was no match for him. He was the strongest Beta in the Pack, second only to my father, which was why Alpha Kane still trusted him.
What should I do? Panic clawed at my throat. Even Fenri was growling deep inside my mind, snarling at Malachi to stay back. But it was useless. My wolf was sealed away; I couldn't transform, and I had no strength.
Before I could think of a plan, Malachi pounced. His heavy body pinned me down, his eager hands roaming over my skin.
"Fuck, your skin is so smooth," he said, a sickening smile spreading across his face.
I struggled fiercely, but the feeling of his rough hands on me made my skin crawl. I wanted to vomit. My resistance only angered him. He clamped my hands above my head with one powerful hand and leaned in close.
"If you don't behave, I'll make you receive 100 lashes," he hissed. "I'm saving you, you know. As long as you behave and let me fuck you every day, I'll let you live."
Being dominated by this man was humiliating enough, but he wanted to keep me as his plaything? I would rather die under the lash.
"Pah, you trash!" I spat in his face, cursing him with all my strength.
Malachi wiped the spit from his cheek and sneered. "Hahaha, interesting. Really interesting. I love your resistance. You'll make me feel great later. You'll make my dick hard. After I fuck you to death, you'll know how powerful I am."
He forced his leg between mine, prying them apart with brute strength. His large hand grabbed at my dick through my pants, trying to pull them down.
But in his excitement, his grip loosened. His strength was dispersed. I saw my chance.
I broke free and slapped him across the face with all the power I had. "I'm Alpha Kane's mate! If you do this, you'll be killed!"
This was my only card, even though Alpha Kane had just rejected me.
It worked. Malachi froze. I scrambled backward, trying to run, but a iron grip clamped around my neck. My body was yanked back and slammed into the hard ground.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The air was knocked out of me.
Before I could recover, a heavy slap landed across my face. A man's strength was far greater than a girl's, especially a Beta's. My vision blurred, and I felt warm blood flowing from my nose and mouth.
He grabbed a fistful of my hair, tearing at my scalp until I cried out in pain.
"You're Alpha Kane's mate?" Malachi laughed darkly. "You don't know, do you? It was Kane who allowed me to bring you here. I have Lord Kane's permission."
His words were like a knife in my heart. I didn't expect Alpha Kane to be this ruthless. To give me to the most disgusting man in the Pack...
At that exact moment, a sharp pain exploded in my chest. But for some reason, I just found it funny. I felt like a total clown.
"I, Ren Sinclair, accept your refusal..."
The mate bond snapped. A searing, white-hot pain swept over me, tearing my soul apart.
Malachi didn't care about my pain. He was just excited that I had stopped fighting. He yanked my pants down and forced his legs between mine. He touched himself casually, then aimed that disgusting thing at my hole and thrust in.
Kane’s POV
"Kane, our mate accepted the rejection."
My wolf, Scar, roared in my mind, his voice filled with agony. "Why did you reject him?!"
I could feel Scar’s fury, and I was in agony myself. The breaking bond was causing excruciating pain all over my body. It was a punishment from the Luna Goddess. She had chosen Ren for me, but I had rejected my fated mate.
“Kane, you have rejected our mate. You have defied the will of the Luna Goddess,” Scar accused me, his rage vibrating in my skull. If he could, he would have fought me right there, but a wolf cannot harm its master.
“Scar, I had to refuse him!” I grit my teeth against the pain. “He’s a man, and my partner can’t be a man! Besides, his father killed…”
Scar interrupted me with a snarl. “It wasn’t his father who killed your father! You know perfectly well that it was…”
“Scar!” I shouted, cutting him off. He realized what he was about to say and his anger vanished into a heavy silence. Then, his voice shifted, becoming knowing.
“But his wolf is powerful. And don’t you want to fuck him too?”
Wolves understand their own nature. Only Scar knew the truth I was hiding. From the first moment I saw Ren, that Omega, I had wanted him. I was ashamed to admit it, but I was seduced by Ren. I desperately wanted to fuck him.
I couldn't help it; my hand moved down to my cock. Ren was fair-skinned and utterly alluring, though he seemed oblivious to his own beauty. He often hung out with groups of boys, and every time I saw them, I wanted to kill them. I questioned my own sanity, but the desire was undeniable.
I wanted to fuck that boy. I wanted to bury myself inside him. His skin was so white; I imagined it covered in erotic marks. I imagined he would be so tight. He would cry from being fucked. He would sway his lewd ass and beg me for more.
Thinking about this, I sped up the rhythm of my hand. The feeling was incredible. The Luna Goddess had made him my mate, and yet I had thrown him away.
"Fuck!" I roared at the ceiling. Even though I had rejected him, my erect penis betrayed my desire for that boy.
"Someone, call Vera in!" I yelled. My cock needed a release. Vera was beautiful and wild in bed. Most importantly, she was Ren's best friend. She could mimic Ren's voice, and she was the one who could make me orgasm while pretending to be him.
King Lyall’s POV
I rode hard, the wind stinging my face as my horse thundered over the uneven terrain. Beta Caspian and a squad of guards flanked me. We were closing in on our destination.
"King, we have arrived," Caspian announced, his voice cutting through the rush of air. "This is the boundary of the Silver River Pack."
I gave a sharp, silent nod. I was thirty years old. For a Lycan—a creature blessed with immortality and devastating power—this should have been the absolute prime of my life. But the Moon Goddess had played a cruel, twisted joke on me.
I had no Mate.
For thirty long years, I had fantasized about my soulmate. I had sworn to the Goddess that I would give them the world, that I would love and protect them regardless of whether they were an Omega or a peasant. Yet, my soul remained silent. Empty. A void.
"Those elders are becoming more outrageous by the day," Caspian muttered, breaking my heavy silence. He couldn't hide his indignation.
My brow furrowed deeper. The council elders were threatening suicide, claiming a Lycan King could not rule without an heir. They swore that if a Luna was not chosen this year, they would starve themselves to death on the altar. I respected their sacrifice for the tribe, but I loathed this manipulated fate.
"Since there is no Mate, we will simply choose the most obedient puppet," I said coldly. My voice was like ice from the abyss as I watched the territory of the Silver River Pack rise in the distance. "We choose here. The Silver River Pack is weak. Their influence is crumbling. A future Luna from here will have no powerful relatives to hide behind. She will understand that her only way to survive is through absolute obedience."
I knew the thought was selfish. I didn't need love. I just needed a beautiful, docile breeding tool to silence the old men.
Suddenly, the wind shifted.
A strange, intoxicating scent hit me. It was faint, but it electrified my entire nervous system.
"Mate! Lyall! It is our Mate!" My wolf, Torin, howled wildly in my mind. His voice was a mixture of shock and thirty years of suppressed longing screaming all at once.
Ren’s POV The young warrior trembled violently, unable to move beneath Caspian's heavy boot. Thick tears and snot streamed down his face, mixing with the ash as he sobbed for mercy. "No... please don't kill me! I was wrong..."My eyes turned as cold as glacial ice as I looked down at him. "What exactly were you wrong about? When Vera just swore on her life that my father wasn't a murderer, you still firmly believed he was.""No! No! He wasn't a murderer! I was blind! I was stupid!" the man shrieked, his voice cracking with sheer panic.His pathetic, groveling state filled me with absolute disgust. I knew perfectly well he felt absolutely zero remorse for how he had treated me; he was only submitting because the cold steel of my dagger was buried an inch from his face.My pack had been burned to ashes. The true culprit, Alpha Kane, had cowardly vanished into the woods, leaving the pack to endure the raging fire, while my chest burned with a rage with no target to unleash it on. Suppr
"It was him! I saw it with my own two eyes! He is the one who killed him!"Seeing the suspicion in the crowd's eyes, Vera completely panicked. She raised her voice, screaming frantically at the top of her lungs. "I swear it in the name of the Moon Goddess! If I have uttered even a single lie today, may I drop dead right here! May my soul be trampled to dust by the rogues!"The survivors collectively gasped, stepping backward in sheer horror. A blood oath to the Moon Goddess was sacred. It was impossible to lie under such a vow without being struck down."How could it be Alpha Kane?" the young warrior who had been shouting the loudest muttered to himself, his face draining of color. "He's... that was his own father..."My hand trembled around the silver dagger pressed against Vera's throat. I had considered a thousand different suspects over the past few days, but I had never imagined it would be Alpha Kane—not even in my darkest nightmares. Kane had brutally slaughtered his own fathe
Ren’s POV I was startled for a split second, but before the woman could get anywhere near me, Malachi lunged forward, his massive frame blocking her path and slamming her back by her shoulders.I stood up slowly, wiping the ash from my knees, and fixed her with a cold stare."Vera, what the hell are you doing?!"I couldn't help cursing her inwardly. This woman was just as damn stupid as Catherine!Vera staggered back under Malachi's force. Looking around, she saw that everyone was kneeling in solemn grief, and only now did she seem to realize she had interrupted a mass pack funeral. The color drained from her face. She took two guilty steps back, her fingers nervously twisting her skirt as she stammered, "I... I was just worried. I heard Catherine had been captured by the rogues, so I wanted to ask... "I frowned when I heard Catherine's name. Right. I hadn't seen that idiot since the rogue leader left her behind to deal with me. Had she somehow slipped away? Knowing her, she was fa
Ren’s POV Seeing Malachi's solemn, rigid expression, Lyall and I exchanged a sharp, tense glance. Our usually reckless Gamma never looked this serious. Whatever lay ahead couldn’t be simple."Lead the way," Lyall commanded in a low voice. The heavy arm he had wrapped around my waist tightened, pulling me flush against his side as we stepped into motion.We followed Malachi through the cave's damp, twisting labyrinth, turning down darker and more narrow tunnels until we reached the most secluded chamber near the cliffside. Malachi stopped before a rough-hewn wooden door. He hesitated, his jaw clenching as he cast a look over his shoulder at us. He threw his weight against the wood and shoved the door open.A wave of a suffocating, putrid stench instantly blasted our senses.It was a sickening cocktail of stale sweat, human waste, dried blood, and the unmistakable rot of festering wounds. The odor was so overpowering that everyone present instinctively pulled their sleeves over their
Ren’s POV The black wolf’s rotten breath washed over me as his fangs came closer and closer to my throat.I gritted my teeth and tightened my grip on the dagger.Just then, a deafening crash sounded. Flying debris erupted into the room as the massive black portcullis was violently blasted off its tracks. Through the smoke, a colossal, radiating silver wolf burst in."AWOOOO—!!" A howl filled with the overwhelming dominance of the Lycan King echoed through the cavern. The sheer pressure made every rogue’s ears ring and their legs tremble uncontrollably.Before the black wolf could close his jaws around my neck, a flash of silver tore through the cavern. Lyall lunged forward and slammed his massive paw down on him.CRACK! The sharp, clear sound of fracturing bone echoed off the rock. The rogue leader let out an agonizing howl as he was pinned flat against the stone slab.The black wolf blinked. The moment he recognized who it was, his eyes filled with pure horror. "Lycan... King?!"
Ren’s POV You absolute fool!I cursed her over and over in my head. If she exposed me right now, not only would the captive women and children die, but Malachi and I would be torn to shreds in seconds. My muscles tensed, and my thumb slid toward the dagger at my waist.The Rogue Leader let out a fierce, malicious laugh, cutting Catherine off mid-sentence. "I love breaking wildcats!”He marched down the stone steps."The fiercer the temper, the sweeter the submission!"He grabbed the chains around Catherine's wrists and dragged her toward the dark passage behind the stone throne.Catherine fought desperately, kicking and screaming. Her eyes never left me.She wanted to call my name again.I saw it in her eyes."Ren..."My blood ran cold.But before the sound could escape her lips, the Rogue Leader suddenly stopped.For a split second, his crimson eyes shifted toward me.My heart nearly stopped. Had he noticed me?No...I forced myself to remain still, lowering my head like every other rogue
"Expelled? On what grounds?"The words felt like a death sentence. I stood there, shaking, my mind racing through everything we had given up. I've done so much for this pack day after day. My mother had literally sold her body to the pack’s Betas, letting them use her like a toy just so we could sta
Hearing my name on that man’s lips, spoken with such vile intent, made my skin crawl. It was a desecration. I’d always been too fair, too slender for a pack wolf. My features were too fine, my lips too full, my hair a dark, unruly cascade that fell into my eyes. They whispered I looked more like a
Mate! Mine! Fenris was still howling in my head, desperate to break free and finally reach the mate he’d waited so long to see. But it was impossible. Kane shoved me away like I was something contaminated, and my body slammed into the marble floor once again. A sharp crack echoed through the room
"Omega, come here." The command was soft, but it carried the weight of a mountain. The air pressure in the room shifted. I didn't respond immediately; I desperately wanted to run away, to flee this room and this humiliation.On the bed, Vera pouted. She cupped her breasts, leaning down to try and
