CHAPTER 5

VICTORIA

I shook like a lief in the wind after hearing his words. Why in the Goddess’s name did he want me to strip. “Don’t make me repeat myself Victoria, I am not in the mood.” Right, he was not in the mood. What was he in the mood for, sex?

He had his concubines for that, why would he want a lowly human, an omega who was raised as his sister? Well, who was I kidding, Jackson had never treated me like a sister. I was more like any other pack member to him.

“Damnit Victoria! I said fucking strip and get into the fucking shower!” his voice boomed in the room making me jump a little. His concubines whined on the side and that was how I knew he was using his alpha power.

I made him angrier than he already was, I didn’t want him getting up from the bed as he was going to murderer me if he did. I had always played it safe and stayed out of his way. That was how I had never gotten a beating from him in the past three years I has been a slave for the pack.

I unhooked the straps of my now oversized dress, and it feel and pooled at my feet. I was left with a bra and underwear and walked slowly towards the bathroom praying he didn’t call me back and ask me to remove those too.

When I finally got into the bathroom, I locked the door and sighed in relief. I knew he could kick the door down if he wanted to but in that moment. Locking the door made me feel safe. But it was short lived, as I notice a lingerie hanging on the towel hanger in the bathroom.

My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach. He wanted to sleep with me, Goddess why? “I don’t have all night, make haste in there!” he yelled once again, and tears fell from my eyes as I opened the water. I had a crush on him but I never wanted it this way.

I got into the shower and cleaned myself up. I couldn’t even enjoy the warm water as I was worried about what was going to happen once, I got out of that shower. Was he going to violate me?

That thought alone got me shaking in fear. I got done quickly as I didn’t want him yelling again or worse. Kicking the door down and coming to get me.

I wore the lingerie and walked out. I looked at me as I walked out. The bathroom door was facing his bed, so he had a view. That thing did nothing to cover my nakedness as well. I felt like covering myself or better yet.

Have the ground open and swallow me. brothers were not supposed to see their sisters naked. But who was I kidding, that monster was not my brother.

“Get out.” For a second there I thought he was talking to me, that he was not pleased with my appearance and was asking me to leave. I hurried to my dress and picked it up, but he spoke again making me freeze in place.

“What are you doing?” I turned my head slowly to look at him to make sure he was talking to me. “All of you, I said get the fuck out.” My heart sank; his concubines scattered not bothering to take their clothes.

They glared at me as they walked out, I looked at them with pleading eyes asking them to save me. but alas, none of them did, why would they? They hated me.

“Come here.” He said and my hands trembled. My dirty dress fell from my hands. What was it about my bruised body did he find attractive? Or was that what he was into?

“I don’t want to do this, but I have to try. We are in crisis, and I have to try everything I can to get an heir. Everyone is trying but nothing we do changes anything, none of our kind can get pregnant, both here and abroad.”

He was talking more to himself than to me, like he was trying to justify what he was about to do. “We have tried everything, human doctors, our doctors and for years nothing has changed. No child has been born anywhere.”

He then turned to me, “You are the one child we have seen in nineteen years. I don’t want to do this but, you can see how things are, at this rate, I will die without an heir. Besides that, our kind will perish if none of us can produce children.”

He looked at me as if he were pleading, at least that was what I saw for a split second until his eyes changed and his face hardened.

“I want to try with you, Victoria, you might be the key to all this. I have tried with everyone else and others have tried as well. But nothing, still no heir and we are all getting old and dying.”

That was the longest conversation alpha Jackson has ever had with me. well, it wasn’t a conversation, he was talking, and I was listening.

“So, please. Don’t turn me into a monster and just give yourself to me. let us try and see if together we can’t save our species. Our pack.”

‘don’t turn me into a monster’ those words kept repeating in my head. It meant that it didn’t matter if I wanted to or not. What he wanted was going to happen. That it would be easier if I gave myself to him than him taking me by force.

It was my first time; how could I opt to be taken by force. “Talk to me,” there it was, the pleading tone again.

“Victoria,  don’t over think it. if you give yourself to me, I will be gentle, and I won’t promise it won’t hurt but I will do my best to go easy on you.”

He sighed; he looked like he meant what he said. “Look, I don’t want to do this either but what choice do I have?” he got up from the bed and walked towards me. my whole body trembled; my feet rooted on the spot.

He got to me and started kissing my neck, that alone send cold shivers down my spine. I had never imagined such a thing could ever happen. What damned curse did the Goddess place upon me. he then scooped me up and walked to the bed with me.

He placed me down on the bed gently and…
