Caught in the act

AMBER

“You have until tomorrow to make that decision, so until then keep your head straight on to our main focus!!” my father said yelling the daylight out of me.

“This is so unfair” I yelled knowing the outcome of my actions but didn't mind.

“You will do as I say or have your head chopped off and fed to the hyenas,” my father said, holding on to my face so hard as he stared into the eyes.

I immediately swallowed up the bile rising in my throat as I begged him to let go.

“Do you understand?” he asked tightening his grip on my face, before letting it go.

“Yes,” I stuttered with a slow head nod.

I staggered the minute he took off his grip on my face.

I couldn't fight back the tears that were welled up in my eyes.

I had myself curled up on the floor as I cried my eyes out.

I never wished for such a life.

But yet, the moon goddess chose to give me this.

And now I'm left with no choice but to endure.

My Father Alpha Ragen, had lost his mate my mother in a rogue attack just when I was three.

And ever since then, had poured his passion into strengthening his pack to never allow that to repeat itself.

But unfortunately, the only daughter he had which happened to me turned out to be a weak wolf.

An Omega…

He had gotten extremely angry the day he found out about me being a weak wolf.

As he feared my fate had been sealed like that of my mother's.

He had always believed Omega were meant to be slaves and not rulers.

Why they were never taken up in battlefronts, because they were completely weak and defenseless.

So how was it that I was to take over the pack, defending them against their rivalry pack?

And now Life, being the only daughter to the Alpha of the Wolfbane pack hasn't always been easy on my end.

As it comes with expectations from the members of the pack and my ruthless father that I was to obey every command from my Dad.

Even an order that stated I was to be mated to someone, whose scent I couldn't get the minute he stepped into our chambers.

Not that I was not yet of age, but he wasn't my mate.

My wolf never yelled when he walked in.

**********************

I had my eyes closed thinking about what he would do to me realizing I was an Omega who happened to be his forged mate.

The Mate bonding ceremony was In two days, as I feared being made to spend the rest of my life with someone my wolf never craved for.

Instead it growled the first night our eyes met.

The words of my father soon resurfaced in my head as it made me feel so helpless not having anyone to confide in.

I wanted a mate not someone I was forced to love.

And well I over heard from my father with his elders few nights before, that the betterment of the pack was all he cared about at this point.

So In order to save the pack from doom of it's rivalry pack, he had to forge my mate with Reece, the promising and strongest alpha wolf in the pack and made him his successor.

And of all he could think, was making him his successor.

For the fact that my wolf growled the minute I saw him, he was up to no good being here in our pack.

And I was so certain about that because my wolf never lies.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror the minute I caught a glimpse of it.

As I wished for the mood goddess to take it all back.

I sat by the window watching as the clouds went by.

I watched curiously as to where they are going, and wished I could be just like them.

Free to be amongst the stars.

Unlike me being an Omega in my pack.

****************

“Amber!!!” I was awakened by the loud bang that came from my dad.

“Amber!!!” I froze the minute I realized who it was calling.

My father, Alpha Reagan.

Oh shit!!! I yelled staring at the clock realizing I was running late for my own pre mating ceremony.

It was a tradition to have both families come together before nightfall in bringing their mated kids together for better recognition before the ceremony.

I got off the bed in a hurry. 

And luckily for me, my father had it all prepared.

My dress, hair do.

Making me look perfect for Alpha Reecca, someone who I despised and was never going to fall in love with.

I got out seeing the elders of our pack as they all stared at me walking in.

I saw the look in his eyes like he had won a trophy, seeing me. 

I wanted to look him straight in the eyes letting him know he wasn't my match.

I saw how much of love he had for power by just staring at his eyes.

He was nothing compared to what my wolf would want.

Soon afterward the ceremony came to an end as we were all dismissed.

I quickly went off to my room not wanting anymore stare from him.

The main ceremony was to be done by nightfall when the final moon comes out.

It was a night meant for me to be happy.

But this particular ceremony was one I considered a torture from my father.

And was even worse than all the abuse I had gotten from him for being a weak wolf.

This wasn't the life I craved for, but the life I was now confirmed to live.

I stared down the open field which they had prepared for the mating ceremony, when I heard my father's voice from behind me.

“Don't even think about trying anything stupid!!” he yelled holding on to my wrist.

“Ouch!!!” I cried out…
