CARTER’S POVSo, Luciano had sent someone to make sure we were doing okay. Luciano might be just what I needed. He was never shy with money. Last time he was here he bought an omega for a million dollars. Show off, that one. Not that I was complaining. “Andrew, what brings you here?” I gestured for him to take his seat. “The other Alphas needed to be sure you were doing okay. You didn’t show up for the convention and no one could reach you by phone.” “The convention, that happened already? They will have to forgive my absence, I’ve had my hands full here.” Fuck why did I say that. I couldn’t let anyone know people were sick and now dying. He was looking at me like he expected me to say more. I could stare him down but this could a way to deter him from any thoughts he could be having. “You see, Andrew, my park has found itself in some financial difficulties. We are barely scraping by. The convention completely…” I waved my hand to signal a thought flying away and he relaxed.“Yo
CARTER’S POV“I’m leaving.” I didn’t understand why Dylan felt he needed to make this announcement to me in person.He wasn’t the first to leave since this whole thing started, but I was happy to see him go. Good riddance to him. I knew a bunch of the pack expected him to challenge me one day, if he was leaving then at least I wouldn’t get to cripple him in a fight. “Bye, Dylan. Goodluck surviving without a pack, and don’t come back.” “It’s not just me, three others are coming with me. And we are meeting up with those who left already.” Dylan announced. Normally this revelation would have had me wanting a fight but we just buried one more person this morning and I honestly did not have it in me to care. “Well, goodbye to the lot of you. I hope hunters find you. Get out of my sight.” By, Luna. I needed a solution to this sickness if not the rest of the park might start leaving too. George and Ciara so far were more than useless. At least Ciara had other uses, George was just dull.
*Arianna's POV*I was walking through the dark streets alone, my whole body was shaking with fear. It was so late, yet my mother didn't think twice about sending me out to get something for her, something she would never do to my younger sister, I was the only one whom everyone hated and always wanted to bully and all because of what? Just because I'm an omega!Omega tends to be treated like rags since we're seen as weak and useless, but someday, I hope that will change and I can finally have a peaceful and normal life.I suddenly saw my worst bullies heading towards my way and fear gripped me, I searched around for somewhere to hide but it was already too late since they saw me already and there was no where I could run to."Look what we have here." Lucas, the gang leader said with a sinister smile on his face."P please don't bother me, I only want to go home, I didn't do anything." I stuttered, the fear was evident in my voice."Oh look at you, we haven't ever started yet and you'r
*Arianna's POV*"Tell me your full name right now." He ordered.I shook my head, tears were streaming down my cheeks, I didn't want to tell him my name."Say it!" He commanded and this time, he used his power as an Alpha and I couldn't resist, I found myself telling him my name against my own will."Arianna Sinclair." I said with a broken heart."I Carter Derulo reject you Arianna Sinclair as my mate and from this day forth, I want nothing to do with you!" Carter spat, the hate and rage visible in his eyes, the look he gave me was that of disgust and it shattered my heart completely.I tried to speak but it felt like I've suddenly lost my voice, the pain of his rejection was just too much. Why!? Why does this keeps happening to me? What have I done wrong!?"Accept the rejection Arianna." He commanded and that was exactly what I did."I accept your rejection." I cried and that moment, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, the pain was just too much that I fell to the floor groaning in pain.
*Arianna's POV*"Oh save it Arianna!" Ciara spat. "You getting rejected shouldn't come as a surprise to you, after all, nobody wants an omega for a mate and not even the Alpha. The moon goddess made a mistake by pairing you with the Alpha, but thankfully, that mistake has been corrected." She laughed and then she kissed Carter again.I knew Ciara hated me, in fact, she was my worse bully, but I didn't know she hates me this much, my own sister whom I love so much.I've done so many things just to earn the love of my family, but no matter what I do, I just can't change the way they feel about me and it breaks my heart so much."I didn't call you here to hear your silly words Arianna, go wait for me in the room opposite ours." Carter said."No! I'm leaving, I refuse to stay here for a single second!" I turned to leave but Carter's voice stopped me."Go wait for me in the room opposite ours." He commanded and this time, I couldn't resist his command.I tried so hard to fight his power of
*Arianna's POV*My eyes scanned the crowed and I saw my family among them, but from the look on their faces, I realized that indeed they were in on this too.I shut my eyes tightly as hot tears rolled down my cheeks, the pain this time was even greater than the pain I had felt when Carter rejected me and right now, the least I can do is not to care anymore and just accept my fate, everyone has abandoned me, even the goddess herself has turned her back on me.The light was focused on me, making me the center of attraction.Carter who acted as the auctioneer himself then called out the starting price for me, "We have a beautiful young lady here, starting bid at $20,000."The men in the crowd began placing their bids, "I bid $30, 000!""I offer $50, 000!" another man shouted.The price continued to rise as more men joined in the bidding, and my heart sank with each new offer. I couldn't believe that I was being sold like an object with meaningless value and I have no idea what my fate wo
*Arianna's POV*I felt someone's presence in my room and I hurriedly sat up. It's so late already and I should be asleep, but I found it so hard to fall asleep, hence the reason I'm still awake."Who's there?" I asked fearfully since the person's face was yet to be revealed."If you don't show yourself then I'll scream." I threatened."In my own home?" Luciano replied as he stepped into the light.I was surprised to see him here, I quickly got down from the bed and I bowed in respect. "Alpha." He walked to where I stood and after looking at me for sometime, he took a sit on my bed."I didn't specify what your duties here are before." He said.My body was literally trembling, I was nervous and scared at the same time and I would love nothing more than to be a thousand feets away from him right now. I haven't forgotten what he said to me before, nor the hatred I saw in his eyes, he looked so bitter and he directed that anger at me before, a man like this is certainly capable of doing a
**Arianna's POV** "Let's get started with your next punishment." He tells me and that mischievous smirk on his face grows larger. A feeling of dread starts to grow in my heart. I have a feeling that whatever he has planned for me is going to be really bad. I try to back away from him towards the door hoping that nobody is on the other side and maybe I'll be able to escape but deep down even I know that it won't work but I have to try, I can't go through what I went through last night again. I'd rather die. I started to back away towards the door and one of the floor board creaks. "And where exactly do you think you're going?" Luciano asks me with rage in his eyes. Tears well up in my eyes, knowing I've been caught. "Please Alpha Luciano, I don't know what I have done to you but please let me go. I promise I'll go far away from here and you'll never have to see me again." I tell him hoping that he'll really let me go. He starts laughing maniacally. "Let you go? Y
