Matilda POV
“Do you all take me for a fool?!” I barged into the living room where my parents and Hilda were watching a movie.They were stunned and confused as they focused their gazes on me.“What is the meaning of this?” my father fired in annoyance.I had just broken the last rule which was never to step into the living room except I was being called.“That beast asked to marry Hilda and not me. What kind of games are you all trying to play?” I asked them dolefully.I couldn’t act fierce and strong even if I wanted to. I was just like a human because I was extremely weak and wolf-less.“How dare you!” before I knew it, a slap landed on my face and I fell to the ground.“Mum…” I cried out.“You must be stupid enough to think you deserve my daughter’s spot,” she said in exasperation.“But I already have a mate. I love him and you all promised to bless our union based on the phone call, why did you lie to me?” I asked them angrily.“When will you get to realize that you are nothing but a slave and fool who accidentally took my face!” Hilda spat at my face in annoyance.I was on the ground, crying bitterly.“I... I really want to get married to my mate and not some king I know nothing about. He is mighty and needs someone like Hilda beside him.” I suggested to them frantically and my father slapped me hard.“You are stupid!” he cursed me in anger.“If I ever hear this nonsense from you, I swear I will kill you!” he warned me looking so scary.“I will not repeat myself, you have no right to make a decision and have to do whatever I tell you to do!” he informed me avidly and I nodded sheepishly.“Who is there?” my mother called with a loud voice and a gamma guard rushed into the room.“Take her out and lash her fifty!” she instructed the guard and he nodded as he advanced to me.“Make sure it is very hard, on her butts!” Hilda concluded the statement, the guard dragged me out.I couldn’t plead and I didn’t attempt to do it because it would be a wasted effort.I was dragged out of the living room to the wide compound, the guard pushed me onto the bench where I lay flat. He called some of his men who approached me with a big paddling stick.It was going to hurt, I knew. This was something they do to me, almost every day whenever I pissed them off. I would have said I was used to it but it has been a while since I was last hit.“Start!” the guard instructed them and immediately they started beating my butts so hard with the stick.The servants were all over the place, witnessing the embarrassing scene. I closed my eyes and groaned in pain. I gritted my teeth in anger and gnashed in pain, it was hurting more than I had expected and I don’t think I could hold still till the end.“35! 36! 37!” another guard was announcing the number of strokes I have been given, I was already losing consciousness.Everything suddenly turned blur as I could only hear my groans and my heart aching in pain, eventually, I fainted.I gradually opened my eyes and found myself on the bed, I felt sore all over and aches to make life miserable for me. I turned sideways and saw Uncle Thomas seated beside me on the wooden chair, he smiled and placed a balm on the table.“Tilda… how are you feeling?” he asked me with a warm voice.Uncle Thomas was the only one I respected and he also respected me. He was the only one that stood by me even when everything came crashing in my face. He acted the role of my father and he was reliable.“I have warned you to stay clear and never confront your parents, didn’t I?” he raised a brow and I nodded my head skeptically.“But I can’t do it. I want to get married to Tony.” as I said, my eyes were swallowed with tears that rolled down my cheeks profusely. I couldn’t control it.“That’s impossible, dear. You are among the prestigious lady in Crescent even if you are being mishandled, you will never be allowed to settle with a lowlife gamma.” he spilled the blunt truth to me and I sobbed.“I know, I know,” I said through my sniffles.“You have one day left.” he began.“Now, I want you to take your time and recuperate. Alright?” his hand softly caressed my hair and I nodded.“Use this balm to apply on those areas, you won’t feel the pain shortly,” he informed me and rose from the seat.“Uncle Thomas,” I called him and he stopped.“Can you do me a favor?” I asked.“With what?” he turned to me.Uncle Thomas assigned a trusted guard with me and he helped to clear the path for me until I got closer to Tony’s chamber.It was not far from our mansion since he was part of my father’s servant.“I will stop here.” the guard informed me and left.I sighed heavily staring at his room. The candlelight was still on and his windows were left open, I was feeling reluctant to see him again.How would he react? I doubt he doesn’t know that I had returned.The crickets and wolves made lousy and howling sounds that creep me out. The moonlight brightened my paths as I approached his room with mixed feelings.I wanted to tell him the truth. That our future was bleak, we must elope and run away.I can’t find myself loving another man aside from him. I was confused to find his door halfway open.“Tony…” I pushed the door aside and stepped into the room.Behold, my eyes spread wide open in shock as adrenaline rushed up my spine.“Tony?” my lips curled as I closed my eyes and opened them to see if I was overthinking.Immediately, he jumped out of the bed and wore his boxer and my eyes dropped to Hilda, who covered herself with the duvet.Tony and Hilda were having sex. My mate and my twin sister.It felt surreal as my heart shattered in anguish.“I can explain.” he approached me and I stepped backward.My eyes would never lie to me. What more does he have to explain?Hilda didn’t look bothered, she had a smile resting on her lips.This was her, always craving for whatever I own - and she has gotten it.I stormed out of the room in anger, this was the man I have missed all these years but he didn’t seem to miss me.Matilda POVIn conclusion, I had to leave. No one wanted me and even the person I had hoped to stick with forever betrayed me. I felt the best way to leave and start a new life - if it doesn’t get any worse.I looked at my face through the mirror as the makeup artist applied warm foundations on my face with the mascara brushing my lashes up. I couldn’t understand my feelings, and neither do I know what to say.My parents and everyone in the pack were happy, the deal will be sealed as long as I was given to the king as his gift. I also didn’t struggle with them, like a weak and stupid lady - I sold myself out.Hilda was asked to stay indoors until the whole process was done. As soon as I leave, she could resurface but at the moment she must stay in her room.The veil was covered on my face and I was asked to stand. I couldn’t help but gasp in admiration, I was loving beautiful, and attractive in the breathtaking gown. It wasn’t a regular wedding dress, the design and everything was mad
Matilda's POVThings ran faster than my mind could ever fathom or even catch up with. I was still on the ground when this man whom I was forced to marry walked out without caring to even know what the shape of my face was. What concerned him were just the things which were under the dress and he seemed so fiery to the extent I could tell that his demands were always met by anyone under him.I couldn't help but admit the rumors which were spread about him, around the entire pack. He was a beast, capable of ending lives with just a fierce stare.And as he walked away, I was pulled up from the ground furiously by another man by the arm, dragged out of his perfectly built room towards an unknown location."Hey…" I cried out in pain. It was thought he would rip off the arm from the socket and would leave me without any. Were they all so feisty in this part of the world? From master to slave?Soon he led me towards a room, opening the door and pushing me in as I fell face down to the ground
MATILDA'S POV I was led into another room, this particular room, unlike the one I had been locked in previously, looked even more eloquent, like that of a princess.I thought this was probably befitting of royalty, of the alpha's Luna.Unlike the other room, which had just a worn-out bed that creaked whenever one sat on it, this one looked polished and splendid. It had a queen-sized bed that was covered with a beautiful blanket with colorful decorations.The room itself was painted with two beautiful colors which made it a beauty to behold.Unlike the other room which had a hard cemented floor, this particular room was tiled with a beautiful tile that made the place look like a small heaven.At one corner was a dressing mirror, and in front of it stood a dressing stool and a dressing table.I looked around in awe as soon as we got into the room. Momentarily, I forgot about my predicament, it looked like the beauty of the place had wiped my sorrow for a moment."This way ma'am." One o
MATILDA'S POV Adrenaline rushed through me, and the blood rushed through my veins in such a hurry like they were in a contest on who would arrive at my neck first, to choke me to death.She gave me a small smile and squeezed my hand in hers before she finally walked away, closing the door softly behind her.I shivered the moment I heard the door closed.I had heard many doors close in my lifetime, but never had I been this nervous and terrified at the close of a door. Not even on days when my parents would lock me up for days and offer me food from underneath the door like a dog.At this point, hearing the door locked, I was certain that this was really it.There was no going back, not even a chance to run away.I laughed at my silly thought, it was painful laughter.It was a hard truth, I could not escape, not even if I wanted to.Alpha Moses is the strongest Alpha known with a very strong army that could take me down in an instant, and I was just a feeble wolf-less girl that could
MATILDA'S POV He held onto a part of my cloth and pulled it until it tore open, baring me in front of him.My instinct in a situation like this would usually be to recoil, and then my arms would fly into the defensive and cover myself from him. But somehow, I could not bring myself to do it.Maybe it was the great fear I had for him.I watched as his hungry eyes devoured my naked body, he licked his lips involuntarily as his eyes scanned my bare chest.I felt my chest rising and falling, and my skin tingled with each look his hungry eyes gave my bare body. Soon I was feeling hot all over.I thought I was going to faint anytime soon.Still, I could not bring myself to hide from him It was not like I could do what I wanted to, though. He was a powerful man and was capable of crushing me within seconds. So I stayed still.I almost jumped out of my skin when I suddenly felt his hands move up my arms, caressing them in such a way that felt sensual. It felt wrong, yet at the same time, it
MOSES'S POV I was coming out from the gym in my palace when I was informed by one of the palace's maidens that my orders had been carried out, the woman had been prepared and was waiting for me in my room.I licked my lips in anticipation, I had been told by her father that she was untouched. I looked forward to being the one to defile her. Doing that always gave me a kind of feeling of fulfillment, it always reminded me of the amount of power I controlled.Yes, I always go to the gym. I have a gym in my palace where I often go to work out to keep fit. Even though I was the alpha king and commanded a lot of power, I still needed to maintain my good looks.Plus, going to the gym would also help to build my power and make me more powerful.I let out a lopsided smile as I stretched my hand and collected the towel that was being passed to me by one of my concubines. She tried to rub my chest, but I forcefully pulled her hand away. This was not time for that, I did not have the time for h
MATILDA'S POV I opened the door with shaky hands, fearing that there could be people out there who would see my nakedness.I was scared that I would bare myself completely before the people out there, but still, I was scared of staying still in the room because I feared what he could do to me if I remained there.I walked slowly outside, looking around and feeling ashamed of myself that the house would see my nakedness.But much to my relief, the very moment I stepped outside, a white piece of cloth, which was enough to cover the torn parts of my cloth, was put over my shoulders.I turned to the part the cloth had come from and saw one of the two women that had prepared me earlier standing there with me.She smiled at me and gestured to me that we should go."Come with me," she said with a soft, calm voice.I followed after her and let her lead me, she put her arms around my shoulder and we walked till we got to the room they had prepared for me earlier.She opened the door and led m
MOSES'S POV I heard my phone ringing after I saw her working out of my room, so I picked it up to see who was calling again.It was my right-hand man calling. I wondered what could be the problem this time around again.He told me that my attention was needed at the meeting they were having downstairs about the well-being of the pack and all my other territories."There is a rumor going around about plans for an external attack on the park." He said on the phone.I clenched my fist, who would dare try to make plans to attack my pack? Was he not scared for his life?"Okay, I would be right there," I said calmly into the phone, even though I was boiling inside.With my fist still clenched, I tossed my phone on the bed and started walking angrily downstairs.I got to my study, where we normally had emergency meetings about anything about the pack and its well-being.I met Louis, already sitting there with some other men."How authentic is the source of the rumor?" I asked, in a clear v
