CHAPTER 2

ANASTASIA

"Da...Damian," I stammered, still feeling the pain deep in my heart. It ached so terribly that all I could do was stay down on my knees, trembling.

"Alpha, what happened?!" My father yelled, storming up to the altar to take me in his hold. But before father could even wrap his arms around me... "How about you ask your filthy daughter that question," Damian said, tossing something at me.

It looked like a photograph. A lot of them.

Once they all fell down at my knees, father and I carefully picked up a picture, only for me to be horrified by what I saw.

It's... Me! I was naked in the pictures, fingering and touching my body!

"What... What is this?" I stammered, trembling while checking the other photos. "When was this taken? I don't remember taking any photo of myself being..." That's when a strong wave ran across my body down to my spine, as I recalled this image before me. "This is the same image I saw in my dream when I started my habit. How... How is this real?" I was lost.

What is going on here?

"My daughter?" I heard father's strong voice from my side. It made me terrified instantly. I lifted my eyes and found him holding one of the pics, staring at it with shock in his eyes!

Goddess, this is bad!

"My love, what's wrong?" Step mom asked as she drew closer with Cassandra, gasping out in astonishment at the photo in father's hands.

Their eyes suddenly fell on me, along with father, darting straight into my soul with so much shame engulfing them.

I never wanted this. This isn't what I wished for.

"You thought your Alpha was a foolish man and wouldn't find out about your daughter's secret? Isn't that right, Raymond?" Damian questioned father loudly, publicly shaming him before the guests.

Father didn't know how to react to this accusation laid on him by the Alpha. All he could do was place both hands together, apologizing to Damian. "I am so sorry, Alpha Damian, but with the Goddess as my witness, I raised my girls in the right way. This... This has to be a mistake."

"Are you for real now?!" Damian roared, causing my body to shiver. "Are you calling me a liar despite the images before you?!"

"I never said that, Alpha."

"You are calling me a liar, Raymond! Your daughter is a slut! She's a freaking nymphomaniac!" Damian yelled, announcing the news to the whole guests.

I heard them all gasp out in horror, as they began to gossip, looking at me with disgust.

"Oh Goddess! She's a whore?!"

"Heavens! I knew that her innocence was nothing but a Sham! She's a slut!"

"So, if the Alpha didn't make his findings about her secrets, Wolf Blood would have had a Slut for a Luna?! Disgusting!"

"And Raymond goes about claiming his girls are pure and holy, whereas they are all prostitutes."

"He must be punished for lying to our Alpha. All of them must face the music!"

They all murmured, speaking ill of me and my family. The painful part was how they attacked father, insulting and downgrading his image.

Their words got to him, leaving my father frozen. He couldn't say a word but stare at the ground, letting go of the picture in his hand.

"Dad?" I called, feeling my eyes welling with tears. This is what I was afraid of. Father is shattered, and it's all because of me.

"I bet her sister is the same. We need to check her as well."

"I agree. We don't want these sisters polluting our pack with their dirt!" The guests suggested, attacking Cassandra. When my Step sister heard this, she became afraid, hiding behind my Step mom, crying.

"I am not a slut. Mom, please tell them," Cassandra cried, burying her face on Linda. My Step mom held her close, defending Casey. "She's nothing like that! Stop talking about my girls like that! " She roared, shielding my Step sis.

Suddenly... "Cassandra is nothing like that," Damian said to the people, defending my Step sister.

Before my eyes, he pulled her close and shockingly placed my ring on Casey's finger!

I was shocked to the core.

Cassandra didn't know how to react to this sudden action from Damian. She looked at me then back at him, watching Damian go on his knees, declaring before everyone, "You are the purest damsel I've ever met, Cassandra. Despite your sister's disgusting action, I am still ready to make your family a part of mine. That's why I, Alpha Damian, will make you my mate and Luna. Do you accept?"

"Damian," I called bitterly, staring at Cassandra.

My step sister took one more look at me, as tears streamed out of her eyes. And without any delay, she nodded at Damian, accepting his proposal.

And that's how my whole world went into the trash that night. Damian made Cassandra his Luna, taking her away from the mansion at once.

I was left on my knees, receiving the insults and brutal words from the guests. They didn't spare my father one bit. They made him the laughing stock that night.

In shame, father glanced at me with a cold gaze and left the hall for his room.

My Step Mom had to see the guests out to free us from the embarrassment, before coming up to me to help me to my feet.

"Why didn't you tell me about this, Anna?! Look at what you've done! Your father is so mad at you!" She vented, expressing her disappointment.

I didn't know what to say but kept my head down, thinking of what to do. That's when Linda suggested, " Go and meet your father and seek for his forgiveness. I'll come with you to talk to him."

"O....okay," I muttered, shaking.

As we walked together to the staircase, we were suddenly startled by a heavy luggage that fell right at our feet, stopping us from taking any more steps.

When I stared at the bag, I realized it was my luggage. And how did I know? It wasn't just the clothes that made me aware, but my dildo! It was shooting out of the bag!

Lifting my eyes to the top of the staircase, I saw father glaring at me with rage. That's when he ordered loudly, "GET OUT!"

"Father?" I gasped out, shocked to hear him utter those two words.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, YOU WHORE!" He roared, shimmering his wolf eyes at me.

My Step Mom tried to save me, begging father to forgive me for my action. "Please don't kick her out, Ray! I'm sure we can settle this as a family."

"She should have thought of that when she decided to become a prostitute in my house!" He yelled, hurrying down the stairs, and grabbing my arm roughly.

Fear overwhelmed me, as I stared into my father's raging eyes, shaking. "Daddy, please. I swear to the goddess, I'm still pure."

"SHUT UP!" He shouted, slamming his back hand right on my face! Due to the force, I fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

"Raymond stop!"

"Stay out of this, Linda! I will not allow this whore to remain in my home anymore! From now on... she's dead to me!" He said, making his decision.

Shocked, I lifted my head to look at my father, just to hear him say to me with so much hatred buried his gaze, "You are no longer ny daughter. You are nothing but a stranger to me!"

"Father?"

"GUARDS!" He roared out. The guards came in and father ordered them to throw me out of the house. "I don't want to see her anywhere near my home! THROW HER OUT!"

"Father please! Please believe me!" I cried, falling at his feet. But I was forced to pull back when he threw his leg at me, almost kicking me in the mouth.

I fell into the arms of the guards, who dragged me out of the house in my wedding dress and out through the gate in the cold night, with my luggage.

"FATHER!" I cried, taking hold of the bars. But the guards ordered me to leave, chasing me away.

Everything is ruined. My life, my future, my home, my... Wedding. Tonight, I was supposed to be Damian's Luna, but Cassandra has filled that spot right before my eyes.

I know she had no choice. She had to accept Damian to save father's reputation. But Damian... "Who gave him those pics?" I wondered.

Now I was keen on finding out how he got those images of me. I thought they were just a part of my imagination or dreams, but I never knew it was real!

"I need to see Damain. He needs to know that I never had sex with anyone! Maybe... Maybe Casey will get him to listen and investigate on the matter," I reasoned, making my decision.

"I don't want to take Cassandra's place. She's now his Luna. I just need Damian to help clear my name from this accusation. I am not a whore."

Dragging my bag, I made my way to Damian's mansion but was stopped by the guards, who refused to let me in. Seeing this, I decided to sneak in by following the fence from behind, falling into the garden.

Carefully, I made my way to the back door, only for something from one of the windows to catch my eyes. It was Damian and Cassandra in one of the rooms, celebrating their wedding.

What surprised me was how happy Cassandra was, burying herself in Damian's embrace with a kiss to his cheek.

This felt strange to me.

As far as I remember, Casey never liked Damian. She was fond of making fun of him behind his back. But seeing how happy she was... It felt like she was never crying in the first place, nor did she dislike him.

"A toast to our victory," Damian said, lifting up his glass.

Cassandra suddenly said, stopping the celebration, "Not yet, my love. We need to do this as a complete team."

A complete team? What does she mean?

All of a sudden, Casey opened the door and I was left astonished by who I saw stepping into the room to join the celebration!

"Linda?" My step mother! She walked into the room and grabbed a glass, making the toast. "A drink to our success and to the downfall of that foolish step daughter of mine." They all cheered and drank with joy, laughing out loudly.

"What is going on here? I... I don't get it," I was confused while watching them celebrate. "But Linda was at home with father. When did she get here?" I was beginning to lose my reasoning.

"I heard her call me foolish. Was that my mind playing a game on me? No, I must have heard wrong."

I didn't want to believe what I heard since I knew my Step mother well. She's the nicest person I've ever met. She can never speak. ill of me.

But all that went into the drain when I heard Linda reveal a horrible secret that will remain in me for the rest of my life.

"I told you that the only way to destroy her is by making her a maniac. Just one bottle of that drug and she's a sex freak. So easy, " She laughed, gulping down her drink.

"Drug? That means..." I gasped, realizing the truth.

I didn't just develop the obsession. Linda did something to me! She's the one who made me a freak!
