I ran, my bare feet sinking into the muddy ground, my breath coming in sharp gasps. The sound of footsteps grew louder as they chased me, the orange glow of their torches revealing how close they were. I lost my footing and fell. When I looked back, I saw them more clearly—there were about a hundred of them, their eyes eerily white and devoid of pupils. They seemed lost, almost like they had no control over themselves. But one thing was certain: they were after me...or perhaps not. I shut my eyes tightly, waiting for my end. My years of endless suffering were finally coming to a close. One…Two…Three… I counted in my head, expecting their sharp fangs to pierce through my neck, but it never happened. Instead, there was only silence. I could hear their footsteps slowly fading away. Cautiously, I opened my eyes and saw no sign of them. Where did they go? Did they see me? A loud shriek jolted me out of my thoughts. Where did that come from? I got up and followed the sound. I tracked the wolves' footsteps, leading me to the most horrific, lifeless body I had ever seen. I fell to the ground, covering my mouth in shock, trying to stifle the scream that threatened to escape. The lifeless body lay sprawled on the ground, torn apart in a way that made my stomach churn. The sight was horrifying—limbs twisted at unnatural angles, deep gashes running across what was left of the torso, and the face... Oh, the face. It was the worst of all; eyes wide open, staring blankly at the night sky, devoid of life. Blood pooled around the mutilated body, the metallic scent threatening to make me retch. I tried to make sense of what was happening when another loud shriek came. No, it wasn’t one. Thousands of screams erupted at once, threatening to destroy my eardrums. In horror, I traced the sounds but then something was wrong. This place was all too familiar. I know this place. I walked with hastier footsteps then it all just came to me. This was Red moon pack. This was my pack. My hurried steps turned into a full sprint until I crashed into a tree, only that I didn’t feel any pain. I passed right. through it. I was in too much of a daze to figure out what that was and I kept on running until I reached the pack house borders and met a trail of lifeless bodies sprawled all over the ground. Some had transformed into their wolves while others never even got the chance to fight back. I ran deeper into the pack and found the wolves snarling and biting every soul they could find. I stood still, unable to move a single muscle at the sight before me. Why weren't the wolves attacking me? Couldn't they see me? As that thought flashed through my mind, a wolf suddenly fixed its gaze on me. His eerie white eyes locked onto mine, and he bared his bloody fangs, letting out a terrifying growl. I froze, fear paralyzing me. My feet were rooted to the ground. My eyes widened as the wolf slowly advanced, causing me to stumble and fall to the ground. The closer he came, the more I knew I needed to run, but I couldn't move. I shut my eyes tightly, bracing myself to accept my fate for the second time that night until... "Sabrina! Sabrina!! Sabrina!!!" Someone yelled my name, shaking me vigorously. My eyes flew wide open, my breathing ragged. It took me some time to recognize my surroundings until they finally landed on Anne who had an ugly scowl on her face. It was all a dream. “Raunchy dreams?” she remarked with a sly smile, “Seeing how sweaty you are, he must have rammed you real hard.” “What do you want ?” I asked ignoring her taunts. My nonchalant response seemed to strike a nerve, as Anne violently grabbed my chin and spoke through gritted teeth, “That better not have been Alpha Damon you were dreaming about because if it was…” “…and if it was, what would you do?” I said calmly. She released my chin forcefully, tilting my head to the side. “Alpha Damon wouldn’t even spare you a glance. To him you’re nothing but an object. A slave.” She scoffed and made to leave with her head up high before she halted her steps, “Speaking of Alpha Damon, He wants you to meet him at the dining. Don’t keep him waiting.” And with that, she left. I sank into my bed with a loud sigh the moment Anne left. Bizarre of her to think I had the hots for my enslaver, someone I had never seen, but that was the last thing on my mind right now. My weird dream consumed my thoughts. I tried to decipher it. The wolves, my pack, being able to walk through trees… I ran my fingers through my damp hair. Anne was right, I sweated buckets because my fingers couldn’t even pass through the wet locks of my hair. I sighed again. Maybe I should take the dream to be just what it was…a weird dream. I shook my head got rid of any more thoughts of the dream and started my morning. I made my bed, the creaky wooden frame shaking as I smoothed the wrinkly sheets. My room. A tiny space carved out from a storage room down in the basement. Just a few days ago, this room was a cluttered storage area, packed to the brim with boxes, old furniture, and dusty ornaments. It was a chaotic mess, with barely enough room to squeeze through the narrow pathways between the stacks of stuff. Looking around, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. I had decluttered everything, stacking them up in one corner of the room. Even though it was still cramped, I had created a manageable area for myself. I took a quick shower and headed out to the kitchen not wanting Anne to barge in again with her loud voice, yelling about how I’m no longer a princess but a slave and should act like one. Just as I exited my room, a hand suddenly grabbed me and pinned me to the wall. “Didn’t I summon you, Sabrina?” a low, deep voice boomed throughout the basement.Sabrina’s POVWhen did he get here?“W-were you watching me?” I asked, turning away from him.“Mm. I was right over there,” he pointed to a balcony behind me.“Oh,” I exclaimed softly, and an awkward silence settled between us.“Do you need anything, Beta Ian?”He kept mute for a while and finally said, “Damon…”My body stilled the moment I heard his name.“…what do you think of him?”“I-I don’t understand.”Ian looked at me. “Shall we walk?”Did I have a choice? If I did, then no. I didn’t want the Alpha and Beta duo coming to me all the time.“Of course.”I returned all the gardening tools and joined Ian for a walk.“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but I heard your conversation with Urmi. Why did you do that?” he said after a while on our walk.My heart dropped. I felt my cheeks heat up from embarrassment. That’s a question I would like to ask myself. Why the hell would I do that?“I don’t know.”“Don’t try to fool me, Sabrina. You know why you did that.”I looked at him, faltering in m
Sabrina’s POVThe entire table rose to their feet. “Alpha Damon,” they all bowed and greeted in unison.Alpha Axel still held my hand. “I’ll come find you after dinner,” he whispered close to my ear, sending an uncomfortable shiver down my spine before letting go and walking to take a seat.I turned around, ready to disappear. But my steps froze when I caught sight of him… Alpha Damon, settling into the seat at the head of the table like he was a king to all these other Alphas. He was.Our gaze met for a fleeting second, but then he looked away.Just… like that.Like I was nothing. Like I wasn’t even worth a second glance.I swallowed hard. I should’ve been relieved. That was what I wanted, wasn’t it? To not be seen. For him to never cast me a second glance.So why did it sting?I lowered my gaze and hurried out of the dining hall, my heart beating faster with each step. I didn’t stop until I was in the kitchen again. I immediately ran toward the jug of water and poured it into a cup,
Damon's POVI fastened the last cufflink on my shirt, watching Sabrina move around the room to fetch my suit jacket. She placed a hand on her waist to support her bump and walked up to me with a bright smile on her face.“Here,” she said, holding it out to me.I took it from her and slid my arms into the sleeves. Before I could finish adjusting it, she stepped closer and did it for me, smoothing the fabric over my shoulders. Her fingers moved to my collar next, straightening it till she was satisfied.For a moment, I just watched her.There was a glow about her that had nothing to do with the sun filtering into the room. I reached for her waist and gently pulled her closer, my hands settling in a way that helped support the weight she carried. She let out a quiet breath, leaning into me without hesitation.“You look pleased,” I began to tease, “For someone whose mate is about to leave her for a few hours.”She smiled, and that glow I’d noticed earlier brightened impossibly. “Is it re
Sabrina’s POVMy lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.I stared at Damon, my heart was thudding wildly in my chest. What was this? Some new form of punishment?I looked away, my lips quivering from fear. I couldn’t. That name, his name, felt too heavy, too dangerous to be spoken by someone like me.A muscle in his jaw ticked. “You’re not following orders, little mouse.”That made my eyes dart back to his.He didn’t raise his voice, not even slightly. But the chill that came with those words rooted me to the ground.I had heard what happened when people didn’t follow his orders. My mouth went dry. I tried to speak, but the words were stuck in my throat.After what felt like hours of silent war with myself, I forced the word out, my voice barely audible. “D-Damon…”I winced. Even hearing it from my own mouth sent shivers down my spine.Damon stood up in one graceful motion, dusting the dirt off his pants. Then, to my utter horror, he extended a hand.My eyes widened. I quickly sc
