My eyes widened in shock as the head of the Epsilon suddenly spoke up.
Will I be killed?No, that was too harsh.I wondered what plans they had for me and my unborn child, I was fine with everything but death.This child was mine, my blood, I cared less if Scott didn't want him or her. I did and was going to cater to him or he, even if it meant that I would have to suffer the shame of being banished.Being a rogue sometimes even seemed preferable than being a maid here.The rules of blue moon were what made it the strongest pack in the world, excluding the Alpha king's.To every other member, it was okay, but slaves were the main reason as to why these rules were made.We were restricted to so many things and now even getting pregnant was a sin here for us and having a say in our judgement was a sin here.Every so often, we had no right to mate a higher rank than us, only if the person had a say in the pack.That was what Scott had done, he was no better than people with no ranks, the members of the pack.When his ruthless father was alive, he didn't and now even in his death, he still didn't and was still a coward.The Beta seemed to be the one of with the mouth here and the Epsilon, each member of the Epsilon seemed to have more power than he did.It looked like it was the council of Epsilons, Delta and Beta that ruled the pack because the more I looked at the picture the lesser is seen Scott.There was a foolish part of me just kept on believing that there was possibility that he would do something or maybe had a plan for me.“Are you with us?” He called out, making me look up to meet his eyes.Pain, fear, and anxiety filled me as I awaited the result of their meeting now.“Well it's a shame that you have brought this open yourself especially at this time” he has begun.“You see, if you haven't brought this bad luck upon yourself, we had a debate last month about the people that would get a promotion”.My heart cut short as he spoke, it cut in pain.“You were among the ladies we had eyes on, but after this surprising news then we'd have to rethink and also crosscheck the other ladies” he continued.“You know we could have another pretender in our mist, just so you know this as of yours have not created a bad name for your parents with bad names, but you have ruined the promotion for the rest”.My heart wept in regret as tears couldn't describe my pain anymoreThe tears were still never ending as tears kept on spilling uncontrollably, as the reality of our affair hit me hard, I was rushing to escape being a slave and I had run to the devil's den.Now I was in regret, there was nothing I could do about it.If only I had been mindful about the way he loved spilling his seeds inside me, then maybe I wouldn't be in this kind of situation right now.“This judgement, as decided by we the members of the council” he began before pausing.Time seemed to pause as all that was running through my brains are thoughts of what was going to happen next.“Your execution would be postponed until Scott's coronation as Alpha, we would still run a test to make sure you are indeed pregnant”.“If you'd ask me, there is no need to postpone it as she and her head alongside the pregnancy kit have confirmed it” the Beta said, making me wonder what's wrong with this man.Here I was rejoicing that Scott had been given enough time to clarify this if I strike back until he let out this foul statement from his mouth.“This is my case, Beta, Steve, and if you'd let me continue”.The Beta mumbled an apology, making me wonder how exactly this pack runs.“Your execution now would cast an evil eye on his coronation as it isn't auspicious” he said.I was indeed relieved, but upon looking at Scott, I felt my heart shatter all over and over again.Why on earth would he frown upon hearing this kind of news?This delightful news, even though I knew that Scott had sported the worst facial expression ever since I stepped in her.One part of my mind was confirmed that he had indeed played me, while the other kept on hoping that he had something planned out for us.No matter how I tried telling myself that he means we'll, anytime I looked at his face, I shivered in fear.Fear of what the future had planned out for me.“Take the slut away”.“No!” I screamed as they jerked me up.It was as though the reality of what had happy just hit me now.I wanted to speak, and would do it now.“Let me speak!!”.“It's ……uh” immediately the guard hit me, making me gasp as the world suddenly sent silent.Everything became blurry and played in slow motion before it suddenly went blank.I could see it, the way I was being dragged into the waiting jail before the world would shut down.The way they laughed and spat on my aching figure that was being left sprawled on the floor before my world shut again.My stomach rumbles again making me stir, and a sharp pain woke me up.I eyed the black ant that moving away from where I laid down.I sat up and realized it was already night and chilly, I shivered in cold.Today was definitely the worst day of my life, first I had felt the bad thing coming my way and was dragged by royal guards to where I was not even allowed to speak for myself.He had watched all these too, tears began to spill down my eyes as I began to condemn myself for being too stupid and careless.I had believed him stupidly, who was I kidding in the first place when I thought he would really pull me out of my family's name tag.I was stupid and dumb as fuck, I had opened my legs for the Alpha Prince hoping that he'd change my destiny but never, for once, did he say anything in my defense?Did he even care in the first place?What about those promises?What happens to me now?even happens to the promises I had made to my parents?I was still finding it hard to believe that Scott had denied me in front of everyone.If he had done that then I was certain that he could worse more, there was no way he would claim me as Luna if he'd done this in front of the elders and rank bearers of the pack.My mind went way back to our childhood, we were the best of friends, even though it was in secret.**Flashback**“Scotty, should we head back there?” My fear old self asked, making him flash me a toothy grin at me.“We might get caught again and moreover we aren't supposed to do anything in our wolves without supervision” he said trying to prove to be smart.“But Leia has been howling for you” I said before pouting, one I knew he couldn't deny.“ Well let's see if you can out Asher today” he said before running after me and then changing while he was still hot on my toes, leaving me no choice.My whitish wolf could be seen running while Asher chased me around and just as I turned back, he caught me, making me fall while he is wolf was on me.The delightful glint in his before he leaned in and just then.“What do these brats think they ate doing in the tomato farm?” We heard and without being told we ran off and just as we thought we had run a long way.We were picked up by our assigned Theta's who didn't look pleased to see us at all.“You, brats again!!”.**End of flashback**I burst into fresh tears wondering what had changed since then, there was love with no doubt.Or was it all one-sided from the onset, all his whispers as he wipes my tears trying to calm my weeping heart, where they all lie?Even though he would never know, he was the reason I was still alive as if he hadn't come to meet me on that day, I would have surely killed myself.The day my world crashed down, the day mom and Dad decided it was best to leave me all alone.I knew back then that the moon goddess had something else in store for me, but the love Scott was giving was unquestionable.He was the one who taught me virtually everything I knew, reading, writing, singing, even the games we played.He was my world and still is the only thing here was who I am to Scott.I had once believed blindly that he had taken me to be equally his too, until today.“What went wrong?” I asked myself over and over again, and the hot tears continued to flow until my eyes dried up.**Scott POV**Waking up to my father's Beta rants wasn't something I wished for my enemy.I was so damn tired as though I had run a marathon before sleeping last night but last night was far better than any marathon race.He just walked in like he owned and he began ranting on something that I just could not understand.My mind was just focused on just one person, Aria.Damn that bitch was sweetness on another level, she knew how to make a man pant hungrily for her.last night's sex was the best and if I was to say we were getting better in tis little game of yours, which of which I was becoming a grandmaster.Sex was far more sweeter when the consciousness of getting caught was involved.He kept on saying shit and cussing someone as I drifted in and out of sleep."What a slut!" He then said before facing the windows and then he said something that caught my attention, "Aria would have to go down like her parents"."Aria" I said, upon sitting up making him turn to stare at me suspicio
My mind went back to a distant memory.**Flashback**“Promise me!”.“What mom?” I asked, pulling her closer.She looked down at me lovingly before saying, “promise you will be better than us”.**End of flashback**.I had failed, and Scott was the only one I blamed here, as he failed both me and the future of this pack.My hands found my tummy, it was still flat, but warmth filled me immediately.Just as my mom had loved me unconditional, so would my child be loved by me.What still wowed me to the core was the fact that Scott had done nothing to actually speak for me or even give me courage when no one is looking?I was confused and there I thought of it the more confused I became as one part of my mind prayed he was doing something in secret.“Hey you” I hear another resumed, don't this people ever get tired.I could feel my wolf roaring for blood, ever since yesterday she has been silent.She had so much connection with Scott's wolf, they ruled out night affairs.She blocked me last
**warning: fair amount of sexual content**As soon as my eyes left his face to see the glistening thing on his hand that kept on flashing in my side view and identified it as a sword, I became alert.His gaze that never left mine was beginning to make me feel so uneasy and self-conscious. He took slow but steady steps, making it seem like it was taking ages for him to reach my cell, and it wasn't like the distance from the cell to where he stood was far.It was the exact sword he had placed on my neck the other time, my heart thumped against my chest as it flashed once in my memory.My mind immediately screamed at me to shout because the look on his face was definitely wicked.The closer he got to me, the more my heart thumped wildly with so many thoughts as to why he was staring at me in that manner.I concluded he was here to kill me indeed, who knows that Beta might have sent him as it's no secret that he hated me.Or could it be Scott because he didn't want me spilling out the se
**Aria's POV**The sound of the bell echoed again for the second time, breaking the code of silence that enveloped the entire dungeon.I watched as, from cell to cell, everyone else prickled as all stood and walked closer to the cell with their fingers curling round the metal bars of the cell.I could sense the shiver and fear, I could hear footsteps from afar off.Including mine, mine was far much worse than theirs.My ear picked the approaching footsteps of someone walking down into the dungeon before making a big noise about his appearance.We listened as the heavy keys jingled in melodious irritating noise, step after step whistling a known ballad.I loved ballads, but don't blame me when I say he made it sound so terrible in his off-key and croaky voice.His voice made it sound so awful and terrible to listen to, it made me want to shut my ears.I realized that when he tried to sing what he had been whistling loud enough for more than the prisoners ears.He got to the first cell
**Aria's POV**The wind whistled with the sound of the people, it moved past my hair as it flipped it in midair for a minute before resting again on my shoulder.The noise grew louder and louder with each step I took, and so did the light at the end of the long tunnel they had led us right through become brighter.It was like finding out that the light at the end of the tunnel we've been searching for all our lives and was filled with mystery, uncertainty, and promises of what seemed so far off.The sound of jeers filled my ears as I walked out, shielding my eyes from the blinding lights.I had thought differently about leading the trail of prisoners out to the open field, but how wrong I was.How wrong was I all this while, how wrong was I to let myself be devoured by this naivety, these assumptions.I walked alone to the podium, I had thought that this was just his coronation, but It had clearly all been deceit, I searched around for him where he should be.In my mind thinking a rea
**Scott POV**Today was finally the day, the day I'd take over and claim my throne.After Dad's death, I didn't want it to seem like I was very desperate to claim the throne, so I kept shut and let them decide.They decided to go it on an auspicious day, so I could just pick up my Luna.Deep down, I was scared that Aria was going to pull stunts that would be hard to explain to everyone, but I knew that regardless of what, she was getting nowhere to being my Luna.I stood as I was being dressed up in a golden royal regalia, I stared at myself in pride.I was finally taking my place as Alpha, my mind flashed once again to Aria and her unborn child, my heir.As if my Luna would agree to training the wife of a slave as my heir, if by any chance Aria would survive the pregnancy months, she would kill her baby finally.I was proud of myself, to think that I had pulled this off without getting entangled in any mess.
Scott chose no one else in the pack to mate with than Crystal Bell. She was proud and my greatest foe, I should have suspected that she had something to do with Scott but…I no longer had any excuses to give, they're signs that should have made me to stay away, but I was being too stupid to see it.Love, I had called it…what was this feeling then?I had seen him show me love and then do the things that no man have ever done to me, but, it didn't seem like he loved me one bit.How could a man who had promised me all I had ever wished for be this man I was staring at right now?His hands encircle around Crystal face, and he pulled her closer to himself, making everyone squeal.I could feel my heartbeat increase and I let out a gasp, it was as though my brain was just registering what was happening in my presence right now.The chemistry between them couldn't miss at all, making me wonder what I was to him in the first place.I was the naïve girl he would use to conquer his thrust for a
**Aria's POV**The sound of his rejection to my ears was sweet-and-sour.It was a music my heart involuntarily danced to in many beats, each beat a string of its music.Everywhere spin around me in three- sixty degrees as I danced to this music, everything spanned until I could hear my heart faintly beating with each step I took. I walked out slowly out of the room and at first, I had thought myself of being in a kind of dream or perhaps another nightmare.The worst of it kind, with the way the scenes were playing out, I was certain it was never going to end in a happily ever after for me.“Could all this be real?” I thought to myself again.Yet no matter how hard I tried to think about the whole situation.I was unable to wrap my actual mind around the fact that I might have been used and dumped, as funny as it may sound.The quarters where the maids stayed was only a few walks away from where I was, but reaching my doorknob to me felt like a walk to eternity.Each step I took came
