Amara's POV.
"Get up." I was dragged up immediately.
"We don't have time to lazy around, slaves have work to do." A woman glared hard at me.
"And the alpha just told me to make sure you work." She dragged me with her.
I followed her swallowing, I couldn't believe he did that to me and left immediately.
I followed the woman, we reached a pantry,it was very dirty.
I could tell from the looks of it nobody has cleaned it for a long time.The woman threw my shirt into my hands,
“You will be working in the kitchen until further notice. You can choose which task is easiest for you, if not then you'll do them all.”
I didn't know what tasks to pick. I'm sure this wouldn't help me get my freedom.
The woman left after giving me two minutes, she said she'd come back when I had decided what I wanted to do.
My body was aching as if my whole body was tired.I tried cleaning up a little. The clothes were filthy and looked old but I didn't want the other slaves to see so I wore mine again.
I sat for some time thinking about what I wanted to do, it took a lot of thinking about what would be easier for me.
I wasn't ready for the slap that hit me when she came Inside.
“Start cleaning."
I felt like crying,she slapped me again and I got back to work. I knew I couldn't cry, I needed all the strength I had for what lies ahead.
I heard the door close behind me,the next thing I knew she started hitting me.
"Clean up and don't waste time." She walked out.
I nodded as I began cleaning immediately, my whole body ached badly, my wolf wasn't that strong, and the beatings I got made it extremely weak.
I was so exhausted, when I finished everything I was covered in sweat, my whole body was wet.
I was sitting outside when she finally returned.
She ordered something I couldn't understand, but when she saw me she started cursing again.
"Find a room and stay." She ordered, so I looked for an open room.
I closed the door immediately when I found one, and jumped on the bed immediately.
I was too exhausted to even think, I fell asleep before even knowing it.
**********
"Hey, get up, we're late!" Someone barged into my room.
I opened my eyes groggily, I realized it was another slave I didn't know,I looked at the clock and saw it was already 10 in the morning.
I followed her, I couldn't remember anything but I knew I didn't deserve this treatment, I was only doing this to survive, it was better than Kaden taking me back to the pack.
I joined her in scrubbing the floor, trying so hard to fight my tears, I kept scrubbing, hoping it finishes quickly.
"We get to eat after." She whispered softly.
"I'm Maria." She said,
"I'm Amara." I replied.
We kept cleaning and she stood up immediately, I dropped the brush following her , I didn't know how slaves worked here, but I presumed if I followed her then I'll understand everything.
I followed he into a corridor, I could see other slaves seated in the dinning there.
"It's time to eat." She walked in, I followed her.
I stared at the food on the table, I was starving. I hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon.
"Eat slowly." Maria whispered in my ear.
I looked down at my plate, I was starving, I ate slowly but soon my stomach was protesting loudly.
Maria chuckled, " Fine, eat faster or we will get thrown out." I ignored her, my hunger won out.
After I swallowed I asked quietly, "Where are we going?"
"Training grounds. We have a lot of slaves." I looked up at her confused.
"What? But why me." Maria gave me a sad smile.
"Because the alpha ordered it."
I sighed in frustration, sighing as I stood up.
"How do you know he did?" I asked.
She sighed,"I don't know exactly, I've never talked to him, the head slave said so."
"Okay." I muttered, looking away, I didn't want her seeing me cry.
She stood up and I joined her, I could feel the other slaves eyes on me.
"Why are they staring?" I whispered.
"He also told the head slave that you're a rogue and should be treated like a rogue slave." She replied.
My heart thumped loudly, I couldn't believe what I just heard, it felt like a lie, but it was true.
He was the one who made them treat me this way. I couldn't believe it, but I saw the hatred he has for me. He showed me that firsthand, it didn't matter to him if I was his mate or not.
I stopped following Maria, walking away to where I didn't know I ran away. I needed air and it felt so suffocating here, my feelings were everywhere.
I saw a flower garden , I went inside, it was quiet inside, I sat down on a stone bench.
I put my head in my arms, hiding my face. I sobbed quietly.
'I don't know what to do anymore.' I thought miserably.
"I escaped to find a better place, not this."
The tears slipped from my eyes and I couldn't control them, I buried my face even more, it's been days since anyone helped me, and now the alpha ordered that people should treat me like a rogue slave.
'But am I really?'
I thought about what would happen if I ran back to Kaden, I was sure he would kill me, it was better to stay here than to run into the hands of a psycho.
I rather stay with a mate who hated me because I was a rogue.
I thought of how life would be if my parents didn't die, I wouldn't go through all this.
'If they were alive none of this would ever happen to me,' I cried harder.
I heard footsteps nearing, I wiped away the remaining tears I couldn't bring myself to look at whoever it was, I hoped they wouldn't see me like this.
The footsteps grew closer and someone touched me on the shoulder.
I gasped when I looked up, it was Alpha Dylan.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" He bellowed.
Dylan's POV.I should be excited that I found my mate, but I wasn't, she was a rogue and I didn't like that.I don't care how attractive she looked, I just didn't like rogues.They were responsible for the pain I had, I still remembered the day my parents died.It was vivid in my memories, when the rogues came and killed them.I had to take over power even though I wasn't ready. I still remembered the guilt in me. I would've done something if I didn't go to a party.Meeting my mate and realizing she's a rogue made me so pissed, I couldn't help but act the way I acted with her.I felt the pull crazily, I wanted to run to her after leaving her in the slave quarters, but I refused, I couldn't do that.I told the head slave to make sure she works, I didn't want her lingering around.I couldn't tell anyone she was my mate, only Aidan knew about this.I knew he wouldn't say anything till I told him to, I sighed ruffling my hair as her face slipped into my mind.Her red hair, green eyes, and
Amara's POV.I didn't know what to expect from him, he looked really angry and it scared me.I didn't realize I'll see him here, all I came here to do was cry."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come here." I hiccuped.I started sobbing as my tears stained the dirt around us. I wiped off my cheeks and looked back at him. His expression showed a mixture of guilt, hurt, and anger. But mostly confusion. He stared down at me with no emotion. I was starting to feel scared again."I'm so sorry." I muttered."You should be working like the other slaves.""So can you give me one credible reason why you're here?" He barked.I bit my lip. Why am I even crying? It's not like he cares anymore than usual, but still the sight of his face made my heart ache.He grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from the wall. I let out a whimper."Where are we going?" I managed to squeak out.His eyes locked on mine in an instant. I felt chills go up my spine as I stared at those piercing grey orbs that were filled wit
AMARA'S POV I couldn't take it any longer. My wolf was whimpering in pain. I could feel the pain of being rejected even without being rejected. It was much more awful than being rejected, being betrayed. With shaky legs, I pulled myself up and went wherever I was able to go. I wasn't in my right state of mind. My wolf continued to whine in distress and desperation.The feeling of being betrayed by your mate who hasn't even accepted you is the worst feeling ever. For once I felt like going back to Kaden. At least when I was with Kaden only I was the one suffering but being with Dylan is making my wolf feel the misery that it never deserved. Even I also never deserved this kind of treatment. What did I ever do in my life to get all these sufferings in my life? The only thing I ever wanted was a normal life. A mate who loved me dearly and a pack who treated me fairly. But no, the moon goddess must hate me to the core because no one deserved to be treated like dirt. My train of tho
DYLAN'S POVI don't know what is wrong with me. Why am I thinking about Amara? Why is my wolf howling for her? Why is my mind filled up with the constant desire of getting just a glimpse of her? I don't know why my mind is feeling so fuzzy. I think my wolf is playing with me because I got to know she is my mate. But why did she have to be my mate? Couldn't it be someone else? Even someone unattractive or a slave could be my mate but no it had to be a rogue. A rogue whom I despise the most. Maybe I know what would stop me from thinking about her. Yeah, a one-night stand would definitely be a good way to release my sexual tension and help me think straight again. Without giving it any thought I just went to my pack and looked for someone. Anyone who could quench my thirst for being sexually driven. I smirked when I saw one of the ladies giving me a sultry look and I looked back at her with the same lust-filled gaze. It seemed like she got the message and slowly walked towards an a
AMARA'S POV When he grabbed the side of my face, I flinched in disgust as I felt cold, uneasy shivers run down my spine. My skin underneath his hard grip felt as though it was under boiling larva, and my legs were trembling so badly that I would have fallen to the ground if the man wasn't cornering me to the sink. "You have such blemish free skin for a rogue..." He whispered as he clutched my chin hard before running his thumb over my lips. I shut my eyes tight as I glanced to the side, wishing he'd just disappear. Feeling this man close to me reminded me of past memories with Kaden. Unlike my mate, his prescence made me feel uneasy, and his touch disgusts me and made all the hair at the back of my neck rise. "Hey!" He suddenly growled and with a gasp I was forced to look at him, and I cried outloud when his fingers digged into the flesh of my cheek. "Look at me when I'm talking to you, you slut or I'll kill you!" "Could you repeat what you said just right now?"I didn't want to
DYLAN'S POV I watched as she tripped and fell face first on the ground when I threw her into the cell before I locked the gates. It took her some seconds to lift her head, and when she turned to me, I could see her bursted lips, and the blood running down her left cheek. But that wasn't what startled me. She suddenly got up and ran towards me, wrapping her arms around the bars of the gates with a pleading look in her eyes. I tried hard to look away, but the fucking mate bond was subjecting me to staring into those enchanting emerald green eyes of hers. Aside being a rogue, I don't think Amara had a single flaw that would make me want to reject her every single minute I thought of her. She was undeniably the most beautiful she-wolf I had ever come across. Infact, no woman could hold a candle to her other worldly beauty and pulchritudinous appearance. With her red hair and doe shaped jewel eyes, she was capable of rendering men to their knees with so much as a swing of her bodacio
DYLAN'S POV I didn't even bother to touch the message. Even though there was a look of horror on the elders' faces, my face was completely neutral. Infact, I had never been calm about anything as this right now. I have received worse threats, and yet, they all seemed futile and useless. I turn to Barton who had the same neutral expression as I did. The scar a witch had given him during a deadly fight was still there, intimiddating and huge, slashed across his eyes. One thing about werewolves, we couldn't heal the way we did if we were wounded or scarred by witches. We just healed like normal humans, the scar still there to remind us of our past encounter. It was slashed across his left eyes, from the top lid to his cheek, and yet I wondered how he drew the attention of most women in the pack. His hazel eyes were piercing and cold, and his raven black hair shielded most of his eyes. I didn't make Barton head of my pack warriors for nothing. He was strong, resilient and trust worth
DYLAN'S POV My eyes shot open like a bullet struck the side of my neck when she helped me pushed the hem of her skirt up, and I noticed she wasn't wearing anything underneath. "Feel how wet and horny I am for you Dylan." She moaned softly, leaning her head towards the crook of my neck while bracing her hands at the arm of my chair, waiting, urging me to continue. I start to kiss the side of her neck while stimulating the tip of her clit, rubbing my thumb over it in a circular motion. Her moans grew heavy and softer, and her legs were hung on the office table, spread wide apart to enable me easy access. The feeling of her wetness on my hand stimulated deep feelings within me, and before I knew it, I was biting and sucking the sensitive part of her neck, listening to her moans and getting enticed by it. "Oh Dylan..." She moaned, and suddenly the image of Amara flashed in my head. I kissed Elana harder and even went as far as pushing her back so I could get access into her mouth, j
