Rayna’s pov:
“See! I told you all!” Violet let the tears fall from her eyes, “She has no wolf.”
Before I could utter another word, I saw Eric rushing to Violet’s side and hugging her tightly, “Oh, Goddess! My love! I am so sorry. You are the mommy of the Alpha heir of this pack.” He mumbled in her hair.
Before I could call him out, the other two triplets went to her and squeezed her little frame in between their muscular bodies.
What was just happening? Were they congratulating her for being pregnant?
“Sh…she is lying…” I said in a weak voice and heard several growls.
“One more word for our mate and you will be dead, Rayna.” Derek practically barked in front of all the pack members.
“Our mate?”
“Yes. Our mate!” Eric detached himself from his mate and turned to look at his parents, “Mom! This Luna ceremony will take place as it was planned. Except we would like to take Violet as our Luna.”
Alpha Magnus and Luna Camila seemed happy and relieved with the decision, “You are the future of this pack, sons. We will do whatever you find suitable.”
“Hold on. You can’t do that to me.” I screamed, “This was supposed to be my ceremony. You are not giving me any chance to prove my innocence.”
No. I didn’t want to cry. I wanted to kill all of them.
So much disrespect.
“You better get off the stage and start serving fresh juices to the pack members, Rayna.” Eric said throwing one arm around Violet, “Thank your stars that we are letting you live. When this ceremony is over, we’ll decide your punishment. You tried to kill the future alpha of the pack in his mom’s tummy. Violet is the mother of OUR child.”
I couldn’t take it anymore. Punishment for a crime, I never committed?
“The whole pack used to bully me, including you three, Eric. How many were punished for that?” Eric’s eyes flashed red, and I could see his wolf trying to come forward.
But I didn’t want to stay quiet. Why should I?
This was my only chance to get away from this filthy life. And Violet practically snatched it from my hands.
“You once opened my shirt in front of the pack members. They saw you doing that, but you never got punishment for it just because you were an alpha brat!”
“Rayna!” I heard my father shouting my name, “Enough. Go and serve the juice.” He held my neatly made hair and pushed me aside. I fell on the floor hitting my face on it.
I heard the suppressed laughter and felt humiliated. Nobody bothered to give me a hand. Lying there I turned my head and found Eric pulling Violet towards the mic. His brothers followed him happily. I saw my stepmother shaking her head in my direction.
She was enjoying the situation. I could see it in her eyes.
I closed my eyes and could feel so much anger filling my heart. Accompanied with immense hate, I opened my eyes and stood up slowly.
They humiliated me. Now it was my turn.
Eric! That day, you opened my shirt. You tried showing them that I have got small bo*obs. Tonight I’ll show them you have got a pea-sized dic*k.
With lightning speed, I ran to Eric and pulled the tied rope off his cotton pants. Before he could understand, what I was doing, I had successfully pulled down his pants leaving him in his floral boxers. I heard several gasps from the audience.
Before I could reach for his boxers, something hard hit the back of my head and I felt my eyes rolling back.
The darkness engulfed me, and I felt my mind losing consciousness.
Rayna’s POV:I started cutting the grilled chicken breast to complete the Caesar salad. After that, I was supposed to set up the taco bar for the guests.“Can you move it a little faster?” the kitchen head, Nadia asked me in a shrill voice, “Lycan King’s delegation is here and soon they will assemble for the lunch.”All the Omegas were silent after I returned to my duties. After all, they all served me for a good two weeks because I was going to be their Luna.I nodded quietly and started giving a good toss to all the ingredients in the salad bowl. The absence of my wolf didn’t let my head injury heal.Did I tell you that my father was the one who hit me with his iron fist? He was a great father indeed. Huh!Thanks to the painkiller injections that saved the day. Now I was back to the kitchen as a cook who was supposed to serve the pack along with the VIP guests.After the insult Eric had asked the guards to throw me in the dungeons, but his parents opposed it strongly. They didn’t wa
Alexander Ironheart- The Alpha King I was listening to the boring speech by the former Alpha of the Black Stone pack, Alpha Magnus. He was still the same dimwitted man I had left five years back.I am Alexander Ironheart. The Lycan King.Five years back I came to this pack for a training session and found my mate here. She spent some time with me and then decided to reject me.Lola always wanted a powerful mate by her side, so she chose the beta of this pack who was a widow and had a thirteen-year-old daughter. I could never tell her that I was not a mere warrior but a crown prince.I wasn’t allowed to give away my true identity until and unless I had a Luna by my side. It was way easier to get a mate when you are an Alpha King. But I wanted someone who could accept me as a commoner.“Lexi! The Alpha is waiting for your signature on the contract.” I straightened when I got my beta’s mind link. Right now, they all were treating me as a Royal advisor, Lexi.I tried to suppress my Lyc
Rayna Bennett.I was looking into those hazel eyes which had turned gentle for a moment when they were looking at me.The room was gripped in shocked stillness. Someone walked closer and I found Derek looking at me with so much hate, “I … I don’t think… you can take a chosen mate… just like that, Mr. Lexi.”Yes! I was expecting this from my pack Alphas, yet I was also sure the Lycans would try to keep their word. Once they have made the decision then it could only be changed by no one else but Alpha King himself.“Why not?” The strikingly handsome Lycan whose name was Lexi asked Derek, but his eyes were still locked with mine, “No one can make me take back my decision unless this she-wolf asks me to do so.” I was still in shock and felt like I was dreaming. “Please come with me,” I felt a hand on my elbow and turned to find the Royal beta tilting his head towards the door, “let’s get you out of here, lady.”Lady?Wow! That was quick. First, I was called a slave! Omega! A filth!And
I tried to struggle free of his grip and felt his teeth, piercing my skin. I felt helpless. He was an Alpha male. Much stronger than me. No! I couldn’t let that happen. “I said… leave me!” Using all my strength, I pushed him off me with full force. I did succeed this time, but my heart sank when I saw blood droplets on his lips. Did he just… I touched the skin to relieve some of the burning sensation, “Did you… did you just mark me? You have already got a Luna by your side, as*shole!” There was an evil glint in his eyes, “Yes. Violet will always be my Luna. She is the mom of my child. While you?” He paused, wiped the blood off his mouth, and licked his finger, “You will always be a slave. My side chick! If you think I’ll let you go with that bloody Lycan warrior, then you are mistaken. I have got confirmed news. The Lycan who claimed you, is not even an advisor. The one in power is Beta Brian.” With that, Eric turned on his heels to leave the room and twisted the handle. “This i
The strikingly dashing man covered my hand that was placed on the dining table.“Don’t be scared, Rayna. I am not a fool to think that the Dick triplets will be stupid enough to ask a nake*d slave to serve the drinks to the Royals. So, what’s the catch here.”His eyes were boring into mine as if he wanted to get into my brain and read all my thoughts. Initially, I stayed quiet and then looked up to meet his piercing gaze.“What am I missing here?” he asked in a hushed tone.“I wanted revenge!” I finished hurriedly and then started chewing my lip, “I am sorry, Mr. Lexi… b…but I wanted safety. They are after my life. My freedom.”Just last night I promised myself not to cry but… here I was weak as ever. I thought with a smirk. I had almost forgotten about his presence when a hand came up and started wiping my cheeks softly.“Why are they after you?” when he asked me, I closed my eyes in shame, “Tell me and I promise. No judgments.”I hoped he wouldn’t use this information against me in
Rayna Bennett:“Here… I brought you these,” Zara placed a disposable plate of strawberries on the mat. We were sitting in our favorite spot under the huge Oak tree.“Won’t you eat with me?” I said filling my mouth with those beauties.“Nah. I already had it in the kitchen.” She said leaning back against the tree trunk, “so what are the Lycan’s plans? Is he willing to take you with him?” she asked me and picked up a twig twirling it between her slander fingers.“I don’t know about his plans. But if he is willing to not only save my life but also wants to keep my future secure then I guess I owe him my life.”“Come on, Rayna. You are beautiful and can get any well-settled wolf or a Lycan. A warrior life is nothing but… unpredictable.” She threw the twig at me and sat straight, “If he is offering you a good job then just accept it and move on. Don’t waste your life after him.”I shook my head and picked up some more strawberries, “I was mated to the Alphas of my pack and see what they di
Rayna Bennett: “Come on!” Zara said dragging me to the backyard where other Omegas were waiting for her, “You are staying in your room a lot lately. We know you are banned from entering the kitchen or for any other chore but that doesn’t mean you are not allowed to enjoy life.” As always Zara kept on chattering and kept pulling me where Omegas used to have their small fun gatherings. “Guys! Our very own Rayna is here!” A fellow Omega, Harper threw her fist in the air and a heavy hush fell on the group. This was the only free time of the day for us, as after lunch the pack members used to take naps. None of them was expecting me and I was regretting coming here. They must be feeling uncomfortable around me. “Come over,” I heard Nadia, the kitchen in charge, and walked to her, “Come on, girls.” She clapped her hands bringing out all the Omegas out of their trance, “Don’t forget that Rayna has been one of us.” She announced good-naturedly and I threw a thankful glance her way. Nad
Alexander Ironheart povI heard all the remarks they were throwing at her. She stopped but didn’t let her mouth’s grip loose around that spoon.My announcement to make her my mate might just be a show to keep her safe. But there she was standing as my soon-to-be chosen mate among her pack members. I couldn’t see them disrespecting her.Looking at Lola, I couldn’t believe that she could be so heartless. Why did her stupid beta mate never get the chance to see her real face?I not only went to Rayna but also scooped her up in my arms.I never liked weak people in my life, be it a woman or a man. This she-wolf might be weak physically, but she was intelligent.I had to give her this much credit. She seemed to be relaxed in my arms. Her heart rate had quickened and was now stabilizing.However, she was shocked when I placed her foot on my knee and started tying her shoelaces. For some odd reason, I liked doing it.“What was the prize after the win?” I asked loudly no one in particular, ke
