He grabbed hold of my neck and lifted me off the ground. His angry eyes bore into mine as I gasped for breath. “You're a mute, a Stealer wolf and worse, you're weak. I can never accept you as my Luna, not in this life or the next to come.” **** Estelle's already jammed up life took a turn for the worse when she is discovered to be a Stealer wolf; a wolf, whose scent drives single and widowed wolves wide. Being a mute, she is ridiculed and looked down on, and she took solace in the fact that she would be saved and healed whenever she found her mate, but what happens when this mate of hers refuses to accept her because he saw her as not worthy and weak to become his Luna? She is turned into a slave since she is the only one who isn't affected by the Alpha's aura, but can she use this as an advantage to win his heart, especially now that the pack doctor wants to have him for herself? She's a mute. Will she be able to pull through all the obstacles and heal?

“Ignore them, Estelle. Just ignore them,” I comforted myself inwardly as I made way through the crowds of hostile gazes pointing at me. I was used to it anyway; after all, they weren't going to kill me or anything.
As I continued to walk toward the plaza, I shut my eyes, and ignored the glares everyone was giving me.
I was delighted in the fact that the mating convention was taking place, meaning that I would finally get my mate and heal. The mating convention was a ceremony that happened every year, where the wolves that had turned 18 would all gather to get blessed and encounter their mates. I turned 18 today, and it was just in time for the season of the mating convention. I couldn't wait to get my mate and leave this hellhole called a pack.
No one around here liked me because I was mute. Yeah, I was the only disabled wolf in the pack and that made people distance themselves from me. They bully, insult and call me all kinds of names, but I endured it all. It was not the fault being born mute, just that fate decided to play a fast one on me.
I was told my mother died immediately after giving birth to me and I developed a high fever, then they discovered I was no longer able to speak. I grew to live with it but when the pack doctor told me I could be cured, my joy was boundless, but my hope was shattered when my father refused to pay the bills and decided to use it instead for my pregnant stepmother and her unborn child.
And since then, I've been in this situation, feeling bad whenever I had the urge to share my views on interesting matters and couldn't because of my condition. No matter how much I wanted to, I could never voice those thoughts. So, I had to endure these horrible stares as well as the hateful remarks.
But I still had another hope, and that was the mating convention. If I could find my mate here, I'm sure I'll be cured as time goes on because only I know that I am not completely mute. Even though I can't speak, I can form voices.
Suddenly, the atmosphere changed and I started sweating. I took a handkerchief and wiped my face with it, but the sweat wasn't stopping.
Despite the hostile glares people threw my way, I kept walking, trying to ignore the feeling of someone staring at me. It was becoming more difficult to pretend I didn't feel it anymore, especially when the smell of fear permeated the air. My steps slowed down. I stopped walking altogether. And I stood there like a statue, my hands trembling.
When I turned, I could see that the eyes of the male wolves present had turned red and bloody. Fear gripped me when their fangs shot out, and they gathered themselves together, approaching me. I instinctively started taking steps back.
“Mate!” They growled as they advanced towards me, and my eyes widened. What the heck were they talking about? Me? Mate?
The way they looked at me like they wanted to attack or possess me sent cold shivers down my spine. Instantly, I turned to run and they grabbed, pulling me into their midst.
I shook my head in protest when one wanted to touch me, but he ignored me and started touching my face. Oh, how I wanted to yell and tell them to get the fucking hell away from me! But I knew my voice wouldn't work. All that came out of my mouth was small whimpers when they touched my body.
Their eyes flashed with anger while they pushed me closer to each other. My knees buckled, the ground spinning. When I tried to stand again, I heard several gasps. I looked up and saw them surrounding me, while some were even looking down at me and licking my hair.
My heart was pounding furiously against my chest and I felt faint as the tears streamed down my face.
Before I could process what was happening, they started tearing off my clothes. I fought with them and made another attempt to escape, but it was futile. They dragged and pulled me while muttering, “Mate.” Everything was thrown into chaos, and I was hurt when no one came to my aid, not even the wolves passing by. Who was I kidding? They hated me and I could swear they were happy seeing me like this.
I caught sight of a car stopping in the plaza, and my face lit up with hope when I saw my father step down, followed by Alpha Cedric as they approached us. My father saw how I was being treated and being the beta, I was hoping for him to calm everyone down, to yell at the male werewolves harassing me and making them stop, but my heart shattered when my father did not come to my aid. Instead, he turned his face away from me and walked away.
I felt hurt and betrayed as the one person I relied on, let me down. I struggled with them the more, and their grips on me loosened. When I tried to make a run for it again, they caught me and put me on the floor.
I used my hands to beg them to stop, doing all sorts of demonstrations I could think of, but they were hell-bent on undressing me. Why weren't people helping me? Was that how much they despised me?
I continued struggling, but then a unique scent caught my attention. Inhaling it alone made me feel at peace, and I sniffed, wanting to get more of it. No one was coming to save me, that I know, so before they had their way, I decided to follow that scent.
I fought off the male werewolves and rushed out of their mates, running straight into the Alpha's arms.
Everyone gasped, and I realized I might have just landed myself in a big shit.
**Estelle's POV**Someone came to celebrate me and Alpha Cedric's arrival. And she was Scarlett.She came with flowers as if she cared about me. She handed it over to me but her gaze seemed to hate me so much. “Welcome, Estelle! I heard cheers along the way when I was at home. And it turns out you've come back. So, how's your treatment going?"I was sure she thought my therapy was a failure because I came home before my pre-arranged schedule.Alpha Cedric grabbed my hand so I didn't have time to answer him. He whispered, “Ignore her! Come on!"So, I obeyed his orders. As my feet moved away, Scarlett chuckled, "Why are you avoiding me as if I'm a threat to you?"Alpha Cedric frowned. He must have thought Scarlett was crazy. No one here considered her a threat. She was just a useless louse.She walked
**Estelle's POV**“Alpha, why didn't you answer me? You're free from the curse, right?" I was worried when I asked that question, worried that I might end up getting an answer I didn't expect.Oh, we'd found the one who cursed us. Alpha Cedric had beaten them. In the classic case, our curse should have disappeared right? So why didn't he answer me loudly and confidently? He just looked down, looking very sad."You make me think that the curse hasn't been removed from your body." I wanted to cry when he finally looked up and held my fingers as if giving an instant answer.Doctor Gordon left us for a while. He reasoned that he wanted to get drinking water from his earthen jug, which was placed in the kitchen. It gave me time with Alpha Cedric. I thought he did that on purpose so Alpha Cedric could talk to me freely.Alpha Cedric looked me straight
**Alpha Cedric's POV**We were cornered because of the many hybrids surrounding us. And if we sprayed them with a paralytic potion, it might not work completely.Our backs were pressed against each other, keeping no gaps for the enemies.“Alpha, do you think we’re going to die?” he asked. He didn't sound scared at all, instead, he sounded very gentle and calm.I wouldn't believe it if I didn't hear it with my ears."We will not die!" I dodged when a hybrid tried to spit at me. "We will definitely win." I whistled. It echoed across the walls of the cave and must have been heard by all of our soldiers.Soon they appeared, hanging in various places. The cave had holes so they could slip in between. While a few of them charged through the entrance."Attack them!" The Gammas shouted. They sprayed t
**Alpha Cedric's POV**Alpha Daren was standing behind the gate, waiting for Prince and me. Did they already know what I mean? I didn’t think so."Welcome, Alpha," said Alpha Daren welcomingly. He let me in.I got out of the car and followed Alpha Daren. He led me to the guest hall. I was not sure why Prince accompanied him.“Please sit down, Alpha!”I nodded and sat down in a comfortable chair. As usual in front of me was always filled with delicious and fresh food. A pitcher filled with very fresh water. I chugged it all and wiped my mouth."It's amazing that you came without making an appointment, Alpha. Is there a serious problem going on?” he asked.Without responding, I pulled out a report document to him and handed it over. I glanced at Prince, giving him information signals. But
**Alpha Cedric's POV**“Damn Scarlett! I will kill her!” Roland couldn't contain his anger. He had wanted to go to Scarlett's house to slap her.But I endured him. "Don't let her know anything about my mission, Roland!" I said, staring at him seriously.He groaned because he knew there was no way to refute me. “But she almost killed Estelle, Alpha. Are you going to let her do this?” He pointed at the letter in my hand.“She failed to do so.” Although I was also very angry. “If we get too hasty, I'm afraid she might just mess things up. You know I've worked hard to get to this point, right?" And I thought again of Estelle.Finally, Roland gave up. He rubbed his forehead roughly then forgot the letter I had received from Estelle. He packed a few more things and tried to ignore me. It didn't take long before he st
**Estelle's POV**A man emerged from the darkness of the forest with a head full of blood!I suddenly trembled as I wondered who that man was. Two of Doctor Gordon's students grabbed the firewood in each hand. They were agile enough to deal with dangerous situations, indicating that this was not the first time."Go!" snapped Doctor Gordon. His booming voice made the two soldiers who were supposed to be guarding me suddenly startled.Then they turned to Doctor Gordon, turning in the direction where Doctor Gordon was looking. Immediately they knew what we were dealing with.They raised their swords respectively, dashing to approach the bloodied man, probably about to draw their swords to death.But Doctor Gordon forbade them to hurt him. “Bring him here alive! I will ask him something!”Doctor Gordon'
**Estelle's POV**"Why is it interfering with my therapy, Doctor?" I got so nervous when I imagine bad things. Was Doctor Gordon going somewhere that I had to stop getting therapy? Or would this research process injure him so he would have to pause until he recovered?My wolf matched my worries. It even cried when imagining our bleak days back. My ever-growing voice seemed meaningless to it."Are you going to stop doing therapy on Estelle?" It was Alpha Cedric who was most definitely against the idea. I could understand it. He paid for all of this. Besides that, I was sure he hoped I could quickly return to the pack.Doctor Gordon shook his head and denied our worries. "I'm not going to stop the therapy. I'd still do it but maybe some of my therapy schedules would be reduced. I should spend more time on the research I'm doing. This is in the common interest.”
**Estelle's POV**I studied Alpha Cedric's hands. They looked fine, didn't even have a single scratch.Then I turned to Doctor Gordon, trying to come up with an answer."This is very strange." He rubbed his chin occasionally, still studying Alpha Cedric's hands. "Where did you get the poison?""Here." Alpha Cedric pointed at an area in his right hand.I was not very a good observer. But I watched that point with focus. And still, I found nothing. Was he lying? I was sure he was not lying.“You should have been seriously injured from that poison. And even though you won't die, since they've been crippled, at least your hands will leave scars.”Alpha Cedric frowned in surprise. "Really?" He checked his hands. "But it's fine.""Yeah, and that's what confused me."
**Alpha Cedric's POV**Tens of footsteps surrounded us, surrounding us from all directions!The leaves of the gigantic plants blocking the sunlight light us up nicely. It was still the middle of the day, but it felt like we were exploring in the late afternoon.Prince drew his sword and shouted at his members, “Prepare your weapons! Maybe it's the hybrids!”I could see the fear on the members' faces, as well as mine. But I assured them that there was nothing to be afraid of.“Have you guys forgotten that I carry the strongest weapon?” I said to my members. We stood in a circular formation, back to each other. While the footsteps were getting closer, more and more.I looked around warily, trying to find the nearest enemy position. Now neither of us was cutting down those gigantic plants. We focused on saving ourselves.
