CHAPTER 3: FROM MATE TO PET

~~~KANE~~~

A long crushing silence stretched the very moment I had recognized Meena as my mate and not Anya. The crowd exhaled. I turned to the crowd, my voice booming, “I reject the union between Anya and me. The moon goddess doesn't have to tangle me with a broken and cursed wolf. I know what's best for me.”

I turned my gaze back to Meena as I held her hand. “Shall we?”

“After you, my king.”

The crowd made way for us as I led Meena into the center of it. Meena had been the one I'd chosen from the very first day. No one, not even the moon goddess should decide what's good or bad for me. Hushed voices and murmurs, came from the members in the clearing as the event unfolded in their presence.

I adjusted the position of my hat as I started. “A pack needs a Luna with teeth, not a soft heart. I chose Meena as the one I'll bond with, and not a cursed daughter of the sick beta who killed her mother for bringing her to this world. Who knows if she's trying to do the same to her father?”

I caught a glimpse of Anya and her friend from the corner of my eye as they struggled to leave the clearing. “We aren't done yet, Anya, you'll be under my custody until I decide what I'll do with you.”

Tyran—my beta, tried to raise an objection but I silenced him with my words. “I have made my decision, and that decision is final.”

The crowd watched. Still. No one dared to defend her.

“And what do you plan on doing with her by keeping her locked up in a room?” Tyran hissed beside me, his anger radiating off as if he might burn out of it.

“She is mine now Tyran, don't you get it? I'll do whatever I like with her. All you have to do is just stay and watch me.”

“She’s the daughter of your father's beta for goddess sake. You don't have to toss her away like that and you didn't have to reject her, Kane.” He taunted, mumbling under his breath.

“I chose Meena, she's had my heart since before now, you know that. I said my decision is final.”

“Then let Anya go,” he scoffed. “Youve rejected her, what else do you need Kane?”

“To taste her Tyran. I need more. I need to taste how sweet she is. I can't let her go just like that. That's not my way.”

“Stop being a dog. She's not one of those cheap little whores Kane.” He rubbed his hand through his head. Like, he's done this not more than once—acting like I'm his child. “I wonder when you'll have control over those things between your legs, you're an Alpha and you need to start acting like one.”

Hours later, I went into my bedchamber. I've asked the guards to take Anya there. I wasn't going to let her go away like that. No. She has to be of use to me at least.

“Hello Anya,” she cowered in terror at the sight of me, frightened. “You know, the mating ritual wasn't supposed to end that way.” I continued, fixing my eyes on hers with a cold stare as I approached her like a predator who had captured its prey, “but it's all your damn fault, Anya.”

Her facial expression gave it all. Surprised.

“Its definitely your fault for not being the perfect luna I'd wished to have. It's also your fault for looking this beautiful. But mate or not, you're still mine. Anya, you'll all be mine. Mine alone.”

I moved closer to her and pulled her body towards mine. My fingers traced her left cheek down to her chest. Then I grabbed her bare breast roughly, squeezing its pointed nipple. She let out a soft gasp of pain to my satisfaction. “All this you're carrying… they'll all be mine,” I said, then let out a wide devilish grin.

I went on to grab the zip of her dress and pulled it down. Revealing only her naked body under her pants. She just stood there numb, frozen, staring at me stupidly. There's nothing she can do and that's the least she could. My eyes ravage her entire body as I drew her closer and sniffed behind her earlobes. I watched her with lust in my eyes, the moment my eyes met hers, I felt her nipples hardening under my palms.

I pulled her closer to the bed, closer to me. “Don't think I accept you as a mate. I'm just going to use you for this from now on.” I said as I used my teeth to go down on her nipple, giving it a soft bite, I couldn't help but grin at the way her body responded to my every touch. She moaned in partial pleasure and partial pain. Her eyes are so beautiful as I regard her with pleasure and interest.

I ordered her as I went down from the bed. “Don't just stay there like a statue Anya, unzip and take off my pants.”

She dropped to her knees without any option left for her than to obey, pulling down my trousers and revealing my massive cock. It wasn't hard yet, but when she put her hands on it, the goosebumps, that's when I felt it instantly.

“Take that in your mouth,” I ordered her, pulling her head backwards and grabbing hold of my cock.

She hesitated at first, doubting whether to, or not. But the moment I gave her a stern look that spoke louder than words, she kept her gaze leveled on my cock and crouched down low enough to get it in her mouth.

I let out a ragged moan the moment I felt her thin lips on me. As she rocked back and forth slowly, my cock hardened in her mouth. “Fuck. Yes. Suck off harder.” I growled, grabbing hold of her hair as I thrust into her mouth gently.

I yanked her hair off making her scream in pain but it didn't stop me from thrusting in and out more. My body trembled as I enjoyed every bit of it, my entire body went rigid instantly then I jerked carelessly to the spasms of release and finally dropped, breathing heavily. By this time she was already wet from what had just unfolded.

“Pick up that rag of a cloth of yours, and get lost,” I said in a cold tone. “I need some rest. Remember, this is not the end but just the beginning.”
