Chapter 3

LILA

I land on the ground with a thud, blood splattering from my mouth and I hear the crack of my bones from the impact of the fall before I feel the pain.

I don’t dare look up to see the furious look on Beta Arden’s face as he closes the gap between us.

What must I have possibly done to deserve all this torture?

Maybe the moon goddess is punishing me for trying to escape my fate, if I had let myself stay in that cell at least by now i would have died and I would be resting peacefully.

In a split second Beta Arden grabs my hair forcefully causing a scream to escape my mouth as blood gushes from it.

“Please Beta, I will do what you want now,“ I beg.

“Oh so now you want to do your job, do you think I will let you know off the hook so easily ? “ he says, positioning me on my knees in front of his bulging cock.

“Suck me off bitch,“ he commands.

With shaky hands I force the bile that I feel resurfacing and start to do as I’m told when the door bursts open.

“Beta Arden I expected better from you, what do you think you’re doing with that cunt from the Halemoon Pack, do you want to have our heads hanged ?“ A freakishly tall man says as he storms into the room with a fearful looking Pen on his trail.

Fear blossoms in my spine, how could he know who I am?

Beta Arden releases his grip on me and tosses me aside as his eyes widen in shock.

“Pen, how dare you let Lila Stark into this bar, are you out of your mind?” he barks.

“Please I’m sorry Alpha Damian and Beta Dryden. I didn’t know she was the one, I would never do anything on purpose to ruin our alliance with the Hale moon Pack.“ she pleads.

I don’t know how to feel as I watch their interaction but scared and confused as I watch their interaction. I would have never come here if I knew they had alliances with my former pack. I thought was escaping death but it seems like I cannot run away from it.

” Beta take Pen out of here and make sure she gets the punishment she deserves, I will handle you later.“ The Alpha commands as he closes the gap between us.

He grips me my throat, cutting of my air supply as a curious glint crosses his eyes.

“As for you, you have ten minutes to get your ass out of here, leave no trace of your belongings and I will pretend like this never happened.“

•••

I am back once again to where I started.

Immediately Alpha Dryden warned me, I limped out of the room and before I was able to make it to the servant quarters to carry the kitty belongings I had, Pen had already thrown them outside.

She forced me to strip from what I was wearing and gave me the torn clothes I came in with, now I’ve been I’m walking through the streets for over a day,scared for my life because it seems like Sebastian has warned people of me.

If he warned them of me then why hadn’t Alpha Dryden returned me back to my pack? I wondered as I stopped next to a tree to shade me from the winter breeze.

I am so weak, hungry and bruised. All the wounds that I got since being at my pack hadn’t healed and the ones from made it more difficult for me to breathe, unfortunately I am wolfless so, it’s going to take at least a week before I heal.

I sigh, sitting against the tree when the smell of waffles envelops me. Looking over, I spot a bakery and a plump woman arranging pasteries inside.

Maybe if I begged enough she would pity me and give me just a bite, I think as I force myself to my feet, ignoring the pain as I make my way over.

”Good day Ma’am, please can you give me just a bite from the waffles, I will clean and sweep, whatever you want me to do please, ” I beg.

Her head whips up and the smile on her face disappears. “ You insolent rat, get out of my face, arent you ready ashamed of yourself ?“

“Please, I will do anything you want,“ my desperation takes over, never in my life did I think I would be so desperate for just a bite of waffles but the groaning of my stomach and wobbbling of my legs leaves me no other choice.

“Get out of here before I call the Police on you!“ she warns, grabbing a broom to chase me away like I’m so fly.

I limp away before she hits me and I make my way down the street, people scrunch their noses when they see me, some even push me out of their way and somehow I can understand.

I already irritated by my smell and I’m sure that I look worse than I smell.

I trip on a basket of tomatoes and I start to apologize before the owner even says a word.

“Scurry along you little wrench and cause havoc some other place, he barks after me.

I finaly reach the outskirts of the town and I fall to my knees to regain my breath when I hear a growl.

My breath hitches in my throat as I spot seven black wolves staring at me with hungry looks in their eyes.

“Stupid girl, what made you bold enough to come to this part of town, don’t you know this is our territory ?“ the biggest wolf rasps as he steps away from the others, slowly closing the gap between us.

A shiver of unease cascades down my spine, “Please i didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to be here, I will leave now.“

An amused laugh escapes the wolf’s lips, “too late for that girl, you’re going to be our dinner for the night,“ it says before pouncing on me.
