The next day, my heart was beating fast as Mother called her sister Karen. I sat on the edge of my bed, my hands shaking as I waited to hear what would happen to me.

“How is it, Mother?” I asked, my voice full of hope and fear.

“She accepts,” Mother smiled, but I could see sadness in her eyes. She was happy for me but sad that I had to leave.

My heart felt heavy with guilt. “I’m sorry, Mama,” I said, tears starting to fill my eyes. “I’m so sorry for causing all this trouble.”

She pulled me into her warm arms and held me tight. We both stayed quiet as she gently touched my hair, the way she did when I was little and scared.

“You don’t have to say sorry, honey. They bullied you and hurt you. It’s time to leave this horrible pack that never appreciated you.”

“Thank you, Mother.” I buried my face in her shoulder, breathing in her familiar smell that always made me feel safe.

“I will be right back, darling.” She kissed the top of my head before leaving my room.

I started packing my ba

    JaneTwo guards entered my cell and dragged me out. I was too weak from the wolfsbane to put up much of a fight. They hauled me down the corridor to a room I hadn’t seen before.The punishment room was exactly what it sounded like - a stone chamber filled with instruments designed to cause pain. In the center was a wooden post with iron shackles attached to it.“Chain her up,” one of the guards ordered.They fastened the shackles around my wrists, forcing me to stand with my arms stretched above my head. Then, without warning, someone threw a bucket of ice-cold water over me.“What are you doing?” I gasped, shivering from the cold.“Time for your punishment,” the guard said with a cruel grin. “I’m in charge of teaching you respect.”“What crime did I commit?” I asked.“Crime?” he laughed. “Your crime is disobeying the Alpha King. Your crime is thinking you’re better than you are.”The first lash of the whip across my back made me scream. The second made my knees buckle. By the fifth,

    JaneThe Next Day in the CellI woke up on the cold stone floor, my whole body aching from the freezing night. It had been horrible - the cold had seeped into my bones, and even with Amber trying to keep me warm through our bond, I had barely slept.“Jane, are you awake?” Amber’s voice was weaker than usual in my mind.“I’m here,” I replied silently. “How are you feeling?”“Tired, but I’m still with you. We’ll get through this.”The sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the corridor, getting closer to my cell. I heard the jingle of keys and then my cell door creaked open.“Get up!” a rough voice barked. A guard I didn’t recognize grabbed my hair and yanked me to my feet. “The Alpha King is here to see you.”I tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong. “Let go of me!”“Bow to your king,” he commanded, trying to force my head down.I struggled against him, refusing to bow. “I don’t bow to anyone.”“You will learn,” the guard growled.That’s when I saw him - the Alpha King standing

    JaneI had no choice but to follow the Alpha King. He had made it very clear what would happen if I tried to resist.“I’m sure you don’t want to lose the people you care about,” he had said with that evil smile of his.I stared at him for a long moment, seeing the cold determination in his eyes. He was absolutely serious about punishing me, and he would hurt innocent people to do it.“Alpha, please forgive her for my sake,” Uncle Tommy pleaded desperately. “I’m begging you to show mercy.”The Alpha King’s face darkened with anger. “Anyone who pleads for her or asks me to forgive her will be severely punished along with her,” he warned in a dangerous voice. “Do you all understand me?”I watched my uncle’s face go pale as he immediately closed his mouth. The Alpha King was using fear to control everyone around him, just like the bully he was.“Uncle, don’t worry about me,” I said quietly. “I’m willing to go with him.”“Good girl,” he smirked, looking satisfied with my surrender. “Raymon

    JaneThis time, Amber was going for the kill. Her claws aimed straight for his heart, but the Alpha King was desperate now.“Stop!” he screamed. “If you kill me, I’ll make sure everyone you love dies! I’ll slaughter everyone in this pack, starting with your precious friends!”Amber paused, not because she was afraid, but because she was thinking.“Try it,” she said coldly. “Let’s see who dies first.”She lunged for his throat, her jaws closing around his neck. The Alpha King’s scream was cut short as she bit down.“What the hell?” he screamed. “Raymond! Are you just going to stand there and watch as this crazy woman kills your king?”She was about to finish him off in one blow when Raymond attacked her.She released the Alpha King and turned to face this new threat, a smile playing on her lips.“Another enemy,” she said pleasantly. “How convenient. I can kill two birds with one stone.”But before she could attack Raymond, Ella’s desperate voice rang out.“Please don’t hurt him!” she c

    JaneThe Alpha King let out a loud, angry howl that shook the entire hall. Everyone around us immediately fell to their knees, their heads bowed in submission. Everyone except me.I stood there, completely unaffected by his Alpha command. My body didn’t even tremble.“Interesting,” he said, his eyes narrowing as he studied me. “My Alpha howl didn’t work on you. I can see you have some tricks up your sleeve, mate. No wonder you had the courage to accept my rejection.”His voice turned cold and threatening. “But who do you think you are to reject ME, bitch? Accept me as your mate and king, or die.”I stared at the arrogant fool in front of me. This was supposed to be our king? He was nothing but a bully drunk on power.“Die?” I laughed loudly, the sound echoing through the silent hall. “You think too highly of yourself, Your Majesty.”Inside my mind, I felt Amber, my wolf, stirring with anger. She hated him just as much as I did.“Let me out, Jane,” Amber growled in my head. “Let me sho

    Jane“What? What did you say? The Alpha King on his way here?” I muttered, dropping the clothes in my hand onto the floor.“I’m sorry, Jane,” Ella whispered. “Raymond told the Alpha where you’re staying.”I couldn’t call him a betrayer. He wasn’t my friend, and I knew he would tell his Alpha sooner or later. I just didn’t expect it to happen so fast.“I’m not angry,” I replied quietly. “I knew this would happen. I just never knew it would happen this fast.”“Don’t worry too much,” Amira stated, putting her hand on my shoulder. “My father will protect you. We’re all going to protect you because you’re family to us.”I had wanted to meet him before—to get my revenge—but not like this. Not because I had to kill an Alpha who tried to hurt me.“Jane, your phone is ringing,” Amira said, handing me my phone.“I don’t want to talk to anyone right now.”“You should answer it,” Ella said.I looked at the screen and saw it was my father calling. My mother must have told him everything.“Hello, D
