I need to leave now. If I were the Alpha's daughter, I might even consider going to the palace as the king's breeder for the family’s glory but not now, as an omega, I have nothing to do with this matter, my mate just rejected me. Why do they have to sacrifice me?
I might be a slave but I still own myself. I slowly backed away and ran to my room. I know the King, Stella was right. After he lost his mate a few years ago, he became more aggressive. I heard he killed the maid attending to him after she said something he didn’t like.
He can kill someone whenever he likes. I have not seen him in person but the rumors said he had the looks of a monster.
I packed my things and hurried out of my room. I only had a little time to escape since they were still occupied with the news from the palace.
I went through the back door so that only a few people could see me. I immediately ran into the forest behind the pack house.
It's very dark outside, but because of my night vision, I can still see in the dark. I just keep running because I know, they will eventually find out that I am no longer in the pack house.
If only I had known that Stella hated me this much, I wouldn't have stayed here. But I can't go to the palace either. Stella wants me to go there to be killed.
She knows the king's temper, the moment he finds out I'm not supposed to be there, he'll cut my head off.
I held my things tightly while running. But gradually I slowed down because of. I'm still too weak because of the rejection earlier.
I decided to stop and rest for a while. I sat under a tree and leaned against it.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I hope they don't look for me anymore, I hope they let me go.
I immediately opened my eyes when I heard footsteps. I was alerted and immediately looked around.
From not far away, I could see a group of werewolves. One of them is James. My eyes widened and immediately stood up.
I started running again. I was expecting it but I didn't expect them to find me this quickly.
For one moment, I thought about shifting. But then Celine warned, “You will strain yourself. You haven’t recovered.”
"There she is!" A man shouted. I ran faster. No, they can't catch me.
No matter what I do to escape, they are faster than me. Someone grabbed my hand and pulled me closer, harshly.
"You can't escape, Aria. Just come back with us if you don't want to get hurt." I still struggled in his grip.
He tightened his grip, "Listen to me, Aria. I might reject you, but I still care for you," I immediately looked at him.
Care for me? Who is he fooling? Of them all, he was the worst.
"Stop it, James. Please, just let me go. I don't want to go back to that place. If you really care for me, let me go. Let me run away," He shook his head several times.
"I can't so come with us. We'll talk about it at the pack house," he said.
Is there anything else I can do? Why am I so weak? I stopped struggling.
"Escaping won't help, Aria. You know my father and sister. They won't let you go," I know.
I looked straight into his eyes, "Just kill me now, then."
He shook his head again, "I can't. They need you," of course. They need me to sacrifice.
I sighed in defeat, “Okay then. Just take me back,” He nodded. He let the warriors take me back to the pack house. The Alpha and other members of the pack are waiting outside.
Stella released a firm slap on my cheek, making me cough with blood.
“How dare you run away, bitch?! After we gave you a place to stay? Feed you?!”
I just laughed without emotion at what he said—sheltered me? Food? I'm working hard to get all of that here.
"That's enough Stella," Her father stopped her.
"But she escaped! No one can leave this place without your consent Father. She disrespects you; she deserves to be punished," why she's like that?
"I know but we need her to replace you."
"Yeah right."
"Why did you run away, Aria?" The alpha asked me calmly. I bowed and knelt, "I'm begging, alpha. Please don't send me to the palace."
He just stared at me, suggesting, "Why? You don't want to have a luxurious life? I'm sure the king will give you that," I don't need wealth if I just die after I get there.
I shook my head, "Please alpha. Don't sacrifice me."
"She's right dad. She can't go there to replace Stella. I'm sure the king will know that she doesn't have Alpha or Beta blood. What if she just stays here and serves me? Let Karen go instead of her," James’ words made me look at him.
His sister looks at him in disbelief. Karen was extremely shocked. "Why me? Gosh, James. I'm your girlfriend. Why are you sending me there?!"
"What? Aside from my sister, there is no lady with Alpha and Beta blood except you," he answered.
"James! How could you say that to my best friend? You were with her earlier, doing some nasty thing. You even rejected Aria. And now, you want Karen to go?!" Stella said in disbelief.
James looked at his father who was just listening to them. "Father, hear me out. We really can't send Aria there. If we do that, by the time the king finds out that she doesn't have alpha or beta blood, we will be punished."
The alpha nodded, "Sounds reasonable enough. But I can't make a decision right now. Keep her in the dungeon while I think about what could happen to her," after he said that, he looked at me.
"You're something else, Aria." He whispered before entering the pack house. Stella and Karen gave me a sharp look.
"Call yourself lucky tonight, bitch!"
The warriors grabbed both my arms and made me stand up. They dragged me towards the dungeon.
They locked me in a dark place, I was alone. I sighed and sat on the floor. This is what always happens to me. Got locked, tortured and suffering.
I let out a sigh, I'm praying that my destiny will change soon.
A loud moan escaped from her lips as she arced her back caused by the undeniably pleasure, I was giving her. A proud and satisfied grin formed into my lips.I know she couldn’t think straight now. She’s been drowned by my kisses. My sinful hand travelled to her back down to her ass causing her to shiver in pleasure.I captured her lips again. She immediately snakes her hand around my neck and pulled me even closer. Her nails dug into my back, like she was asking more.I smirked and stopped kissing her. She looked at me in confusion. Before she can speak, I pushed her down the bed.I pinned both of her hand against the bed, “You’re naughty, honey,” she said seductively. I just grinned, using my other hand, I teased her nipple. She groaned at what I did and closed her eyes tightly.“Please…”“Please what?” I asked her huskily. She half opened her eyes, like she was begging me.“Touch me, please.” Well, gladly. I kissed her again and started caressing her breast. She moaned over and over
Aree’s POVTime passed quickly. I have been detained here for five days. They still haven't decided what to do with me.Staying here for five days was ten times harder than I expected. However, I'm used to this kind of situation. It's really different when someone makes you suffer every day.Stella always comes here to torture me. She said nasty things, hurting me physically and mentally.I rested my head on my knees and let out a deep breath. I remember my life before everything went wrong. But my happy life was filled with sadness now.I smiled sadly; I never thought that I would suffer like this."Aria, honey? Where are you?"I giggled softly as I continued to hide behind the tree in our vast garden. My mother and were playing hide and seek.I peeked a little to find out where she was, but I was very surprised when I found her right in front of me."There you are, you little missy!" she said happily and tickled me. I screamed and laughed out loud."Mom! Stop tickling me!" I said wh
Third Person’s POVAfter a few days of traveling, the king has found his way to the last pack of the southern territory. He’s a little grumpy and pissed because until now, he still hasn’t found his second chance mate.He also started to think that the vision of the royal witch might be wrong. That he doesn’t really have one, that he is destined to be mate less for the rest of his life.He let out a sigh and looked at his two betas who were sleeping peacefully now. He immediately frowned, this two only knew sleeping, eating and drinking. He just shook his head and looked out the car’s window.“We’re near the last pack, your majesty,” his chauffeur informed him. He nodded and leaned back. If he can’t find his second chance mate now, maybe he’ll just continue looking for a breeder. He needs someone who will carry an heir, the next Lycan king of the kingdom.A few minutes later, the car stopped completely. Signaling that they had arrived, he let out a sigh. He looked at his two betas agai
Third Person’s POV James walked closer to his sister, he was shocked and confused to see her alone here. Where’s Aree? Did she do something bad to Aree? And why she smelled like her? This is weird. He grabbed her hand and pulled her a little, “Why are you smelling like her?” He whispered.Stella raised an eyebrow, “What? I don’t know what you are talking about. I smell like this always,” She reason out even if she knew what he meant. Her dear brother smelling Aree’s scent on her. So, her scent can make guys go crazy over her.Her jaw clenched. She didn’t expect them to act like this over her. What’s so special about her? She saw none. She smiled at her brother and removed his hand on her arm, “Don’t act like this in front of the king. I just decided that I will be the one who will go instead of Aree. That’s what you want, right? Even if you rejected her, you still don’t want to let her go,” James shut his lips tight.She was right, even if he rejected Aree a few weeks ago, he still c
“Did you hear that?” Claude asked his twin brother. Callister’s brow furrowed and focused, yes, he heard it. They’ve been roaming around for half an hour now, but this is the first time they heard something unusual.They looked at each other, they were thinking the same. They need to know where that room is, after a few seconds of searching, they manage to pinpoint a certain place. From outside where they were standing, they heard a faint voice.Callister knocked on the door, three times but no one responded. “Is someone’s inside? Would you mind to open the door?” They called the attention for whoever’s staying inside the room. James looked at Aree in panick. Someone’s looking for her. Stella’s right. Aree is the king’s second chance mate.He took a deep breath and pulled Aree’s arm. He brought her inside the bathroom, and started to tie both of her hand. Aree’s eyes widened, what is he doing? “Hey, stop. Let me go, James. I warn you, don’t do this to me. Let me out!” She screamed and
Aree’s POVHe was about to kiss me, but I did everything to push him away. If only he had been my mate until now, I might have butterflies in my stomach. But what I can feel now is pure hatred and disgust.He broke the connection, the bond between the two of us. Then now he expects us to be okay? He’s delusional. I glared at him as I tried to push him away from me.He’s holding my arms tightly as he pushes himself on me. I feel disgusted and don’t want to be this close to him. I can’t let him claim me.“Get off me, James!” I screamed. He covered my mouth and pinned me even more on the wall. My eyes widened in shock. What is he doing? Is he this desperate?“Silence! Don’t you dare to scream? I know you want this too. You wanted my attention, right? Then, here it is,” After he said that. He tried to kiss me again, but I avoided his lips.He can’t be serious. I don’t want his attention now. I never wanted it. He’s my mate. I should never beg for his love and attention. But he’s not my ma
Aree's POVI slowly woke up because of a faint voice coming from somewhere. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. I still feel tired and weak. I looked around and slowly got up. I sat on the edge of the bed."Later, she will wake up. Her body was fatigued by her sudden use of power," I slightly frowned at what I heard."Right now, when she wakes up. She will feel dizzy and weak. So what we should do is get her treated by a senior healer. I know that will help her. And she will recover faster," the male voice continued. This time I know that he is the healer of the pack.I stood up and approached the door to hear more about their discussion. But I hadn't gone far when the door opened. I immediately went back to bed and lay down.My jaw dropped when I realized who was in front of me now.He's my savior, my second-chance mate. And before I fainted, I heard someone addressing him with ‘majesty’. Was it dream? I blinked twice, not knowing what to do.When I recovered from the shock, I was about to
Aree's POVI frowned at what I saw. Alpha Cornell and her little children, Stella and James, are now on their knees. Stella is still wearing the dress she took from me. Her hair and make-up are messy. She obviously didn't sleep and cried last night.I turned my gaze to her brother kneeling next to her. He has bruises on his face and body. Werewolf has the ability of fast healing. So I wonder why his wounds aren't healing if they hit him last night? Or maybe they did something I can't even imagine.I pursed my lips. I looked at the king, who was also looking at me. Behind him, I see Claude's twin. This is weird and unusual; the king has two Betas."Come and sit next to me," I heard him say. I saw how Stella glared at me. I can see the rage in her eyes. If her two hands were not tied, she would probably attack me.I grinned at what I saw. For the first time, I felt satisfaction. She's mad at me.The table has turned. They can't enslave me now. I proudly walked towards my mate. He adjust
