HERMIONE'S POV
"I was perplexed by Alpha Phoenix's behavior. He ordered the guards to humiliate me, and as they began to remove their pants, attempting to spread my legs, he suddenly lunged forward. He threw the two guards against the wall.
The guards lay on the ground, gasping for breath. I didn't feel relieved; my teeth still fought to control my fear. Alpha Phoenix was known for his cruelty and capriciousness, and I didn't anticipate better treatment after being taken to his room.
He ruthlessly denied me as his mate. Maybe, he intended to have his way with me first and then discard me to others. With that in mind, I still resisted the maids pulling at me, struggling as best as I could.
But my strength was feeble... I couldn't even shift.
My bruised face received another slap, blood spreading in my mouth. I glared at her with fury, only inviting greater mockery.
"Damn whore! Shut up, or you'll receive more than this."
I was thrown into a cold bathtub, the maids roughly scrubbing my skin, their disgust barely concealed. I was treated like a piece of meat, sliced cruelly.
Emerging from the bathtub, I was instructed not to wear anything. A piece of cloth was wrapped around me, and my hands were chained to the bed. Blindfolded, I couldn't see.
I was roughly tossed onto a soft bed. My head screamed from the impact, but all I received was the sound of the door closing.
Unknown terror washed over me once more. I could imagine how Alpha Phoenix would treat me! I tried to move my body to sit up, but every movement sent searing pain through my bones.
"Seems you're still not obedient, still thinking about escape," a voice of cold mockery entered my ears as the door swung open, freezing my blood.
"Alpha... King, I swear I haven't helped anyone escape, including my brother..." I trembled, explaining.
"Shut up! I've heard enough of your excuses!" The bed sank beside me, his large hand clamping over my mouth, silencing me.
I whimpered, struggling, but suddenly my lips were covered by something soft.
What's happening?!
"W...What are you trying to do?" I asked, trembling, my fear escalating.
"You really don't know?" His throat emitted a cold laugh.
His icy fingers brushed my cheek, like the Grim Reaper holding a sharp blade against my neck. I dared not move.
With a tear, the blindfold over my eyes was roughly removed. I met his eagle-like, cruel gaze. His clothes were undone, revealing a well-built chest.
I swallowed repeatedly, trying to ease my fear, but the allure of a mate betrayed me. Heat pooled between my legs, and I involuntarily writhed.
Damn it! I was craving him, despite his rejection!
"Isn't that what you want?" He observed my honest reaction, disgust evident in his gaze.
I yelped when his finger pinched my nipples, making me tremble.
Tears started to accumulate in my eyes as I looked at him pleadingly.
"D...Don't... I didn't , really, I didn't try to get you!"
However, he didn't believe my words and thought that I was just lying to him again.
He put great strength on his fingers and angrily rubbed my chest while, at the same time, playing with my nipples, making me groan from the pain.
"There you go again, lying through your teeth! You think that I would believe your lies?!" His hand roamed down from my chest all the way down to my stomach and it didn't stop. That made my chest tighten.
"No... no, don't..." I pleaded to him while shaking my head.
The Alpha King raised his head and sneered at me. "What? You're shy now? Aren't you a slut who wanted to be fuck by me?"
I immediately shook my head at his words. "N...No, it wasn't like that... I... I just want... I am your mate..."
I let out a painful cry after saying those words when he put his strength on my back. I could hear the cracking sound of my bones.
How could he be so cruel?
I just wanted to be recognized by him as his mate...
"I told you, before I am satisfied, you will be a sex slave forever! I never want to hear the word 'mate' come out of your mouth!" He coldly whispered in my ears as his hand slid down from my panties.
I could hear the loud thump of my chest.
I don't want this...
I am not a sex slave!
I gritted my teeth and glared at him. "Didn't you already reject me?"
Slap.
A loud slap could be heard in the room that made me stop from continuing what I wanted to say to him.
I could taste the blood in my mouth as I stared at him with widened eyes out of disbelief.
"How dare a mere slave like you, dare to raise your tone at me! Presumptuous!" He angrily exclaimed as he started emitting killing intent.
I could even feel his sharp nails digging into my belly and a liquid started to ooze from the wound that he created.
This time, I couldn't stop the tears that I had been holding earlier.
"Yes, I am a slave! Then what are you doing? Desiring a filthy slave?!" I yelled at him with tears falling on my cheeks to the point that blue veins appeared on my neck when I screamed it all from the bottom of my heart.
This time, I don't feel fear. Rather, I felt ridiculous.
I didn't give him the chance to retort and let out a sneer. "You love that woman so much? She still ran away! Eloped with a slave!"
"You are a loser-"
Snap--
Again, he didn't let me finish my words and directly grasped my aching cheeks from his slap and gripped it tightly, which made me groan from the pain.
His eyes were bloodshot when he looked at me. "Finally, you're starting to tell the truth. Your brother took her, didn't he? Speak! Where's Miya?"
I knew my protests were futile. I looked at him and suddenly burst into laughter. "Kill me then, Alpha Phoenix! You'll never get the truth from my mouth!"
"Seems you enjoy being a whore," he snorted, unfastening his own pants. I caught sight of his big cock and involuntarily shivered.
But the urgent sounds outside the door made him halt.
"Alpha! There are rogues invading our territory! They claim to have seen Benjamin's presence!"
What? My brother? Did he really do this? Alpha Phoenix noticed the panic in my eyes, a murderous intent gathering in his own. My breathing became labored once more.
"I'll change my focus; I'll f*ck you in front of your brother's corpse." With that, he rushed out.
When I felt the weight on the bed lighten, I slowly opened my eyes and saw him leave the room with a loud bang on the door that made me flinch.
Yet at the same time, I felt relieved upon seeing that he left.
I looked at my situation and couldn't help but cry even more.
Suddenly, a tremendous force seemed to surge from within my body, and I realized what it was!
I was about to experience my first transformation! The bones throughout my body seemed to shatter with excruciating pain. I attempted to hunch over to alleviate it, but the iron chains on my limbs restricted my movement.
Endure, Hermione. You can do it. This pain is nothing. You can heal yourself right after, so it doesn't matter if you break your bone again.
I took a long breath before I forcefully took my hands out of the chain.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
I could hear my bones cracking like damn fireworks. The white bed was stained with a red liquid.
Until I let out another howl, the iron chains snapped from my body, and I caught sight of my wolf form in the mirror.
A massive white wolf.
I wasn't an omega; I was a rare and powerful white wolf!
Enormous elation erupted within me, my injuries rapidly healing as calm settled back into my mind. I had only one thought: escape from here!
HERMIONE'S POVI took a deep breath and stealthily made my way out of the Alpha King's house. However, upon spotting a sharp sword on the table, I strapped it to my back. Fortunately, there were no guards on patrol; they had all gone to confront the rogues. This was the reason it was relatively easy for me to leave.I had reverted to my human form; the first shift had drained me considerably. My wolf was already fast asleep. I guessed that one of the reasons was my lack of proper training as an omega for so long. Once I stabilized, I was determined to put in the effort to strengthen my limbs, making my wolf even more powerful!However, just when I was about to leave the territory and go to the forest, I happened to meet a guard."Where are you going at this hour?" He asked while holding a large sharp sword in his hands.Looking at the sword in his hand, it seemed like he had just gone back to fighting with some rogues or something given with the red liquid that still kept on dripping
PHOENIX'S POVAfter dealing with all the rogues, I couldn't find any trace of Benjamin. Thoughts of that defiant slave resurfaced, stoking my anger within me. However, as I returned to my chamber and saw the mess of wolves, realization struck— that slave had managed to escape! How was that possible? No one could break free from my iron chains!I immediately ordered the guards to be brought to me. I needed to uncover the truth!I threw the goblet on the floor, right next to the guard who was responsible for guarding my room, especially because I had a little slave whom I had just locked in that room.This foolish guard who had just left his post and went to the bar to fuck another woman despite having a mate, had reported that the little slave I had chained to my bed had escaped, only leaving the stains of blood on the sheet along with the chains that I used to bind her!"It's no use apologizing to me. You already heard my temper." I tried to sound calm and indifferent despite the fact
HERMIONE'S POVI let out a sigh of relief after seeing that there was no one who was following me, especially Phoenix ,It seemed like jumping off the cliff was a successful idea.Since I was a child I have discovered that I have a very special healing ability, so I am not afraid of broken bones, and as long as I can still breathe, my wounds will soon heal themselves.But it really hurts! It fucking hurts that I wanted to die badly!I couldn't even pass out even if I wanted to! The pain made me feel alive and conscious even more! It would be much easier if I would just pass out!Da-My eyes slightly widened as I tried to hide my scent and even my breath when I heard footsteps that were walking in front of the huge stone that I was currently hiding.Did they find me so quickly?Fuck... I can't let this happen! I've suffered a lot and I can't go back now. I can't be caught by him again after all the sacrifices that I've made!I gritted my teeth and looked at my legs, which were still n
One week laterPHOENIX'S POVDamn it! It had been a week ever since that little slave, Hermione had escape and up until now, there was no signs of her, as if she vanished. More like as if she didn't exist.I should still be able to communicate with her wolf since we are mates, yet for some reason, she blocked her communication at that day where she was about to escape.My mind would replay all the events that had happened at that night in the forest where I saw her white fur that almost covered her face and she was in the verge of shifting to her wolf fur.Even her eyes were silver that match the color of her fur.Speaking of silver... that slave is a fucking white wolf!She could clearly fight back given with the ability that she performed at that night, but how come she just easily let someone like me bullied her? How come she easily let others bully her when she could clearly fight back?Was she hiding her ability and made me think that she was weak so that I could lower my guard d
HERMIONE'S POVDuring this time, Elizabeth and I ran a training class. Just like before, we rescued some homeless or bully pups and gathered them together to learn some self-protection moves. Everything was going as expected.I walked towards to the woman who had long fiery hair and she was in the middle of a break after she had taught the young cubs and even the old ones how to wield their swords.I saw her take her towel and wipe the sweat from her body. The moment she had seen me, her lips curved up and she walked in my direction with a smile.“What's up? You want to teach them too or maybe... you want to be taught by me?” She playfully asked.I rolled my eyes as I pushed her face away from me. “Shut it, Megan. Just continue what you're doing with them and don't mind me.”Megan. One of our trainers. She's a certified flirt. She loves teasing and playing with people's emotions, but she's the type of flirt who flirts. She won't accept people in her life easily—especially when it come
PHOENIX'S POVI went to the forest where I last saw her. I even tried to search all over the forest to see if she was making her own territory or something, but there was none.I couldn't even trace her with her scent.I went to the downtown, which was at the end of the forest. There was another town that was being built and being searched all over, but in the end, there was no news of her.“Damn it!” I cursed heavily as I roamed around again.Even if it was just a faint scent of her, I would have an idea that she was still alive and if she was, there was a big possibility that I could find her.Yet... I couldn't scent her at all! Not in this place and not in that forest either!'Stupid... I told you that you would regret it, yet you didn't believe it. You should have treated her better.'I could hear the taunts and mocking of my own wolf that made my blue veins appear on my forehead.“Shut up. Don't you have any information at all?!” I retorted in irritation.However, before I could
HERMIONE'S POV"Elizabeth..." I whispered to her."Go ahead." This time, Elizabeth sat on the chair and faced me with a serious gaze.I took a deep breath and looked at her in the eyes. “I guess I'll just have to leave.”Elizabeth slammed her hand on the table and looked at me with widened eyes. “What did you say?!”“It must be that man! I can't drag you guys into this. I also wanted to give you the pack for you to handle, especially because I think I won't be back for a month or so.” I honestly confessed, making her breath hitch.“Do you know what you're talking about, That's what you call a rogue!!!” Her sharp eyes were coldly locking onto mine.Yet I wasn't intimidated by it. I nodded my head and answered, “I know what I'm doing, Elizabeth.”This time, she snapped. “You knew?! Are you crazy?! You don't know the life of being a rogue, Hermione?! If you leave the pack, I won't know how to protect you anymore!”“I am a white wolf, Elizabeth. I'm sure that you know that white wolves ar
PHOENIX'S POV"Your Majesty, the vessel is about to dock. It looks like there are no accidents." Aaron reported to me. And I didn't have the mind to answer him, I just stared intently at the approaching vessel. My mate, the damn runaway slave was inside.I was going to just destroy that pack of hers and kill everyone inside! But that would have really tarnished my reputation, and the weaklings, who could be killed at any time, weren't in a hurry to deal with now - except for that man!CLICK-The vessel docked. I said nothing and walked quickly to the vessel.“Woooooo, mom, what's wrong with the sister! !” How annoying! How could they get a child to do it. I inclined my head and gave the noisy child a cold glance, and the woman next to her hastily covered the child's mouth. But delayed to leave."Get out," I ordered in a cold voice.But the woman, not knowing where the courage suddenly came from, asked me with red eyes but timidly. "Sir, this... this young lady..."I didn't have time t
