LOGINI confessed my love to Alpha Derrick, and in return, he had his guards drag me through the mud like an animal. The pack cheered as if it were a holiday, throwing rocks and spitting on me. I always knew this day was inevitable.
Even as the pain flared, I refused to weep. I wouldn't let their final memory of me be my tears. "That filthy witch, I heard she tried to kill Alpha Derrick." One of my bullies Rebecca whispered to the others. "I knew it, she killed our previous Alpha and Luna, I never understood why Alpha Derrick let her live this long." Another said throwing a stone at me. "I hope they give her a really slow death. Maybe even give her to the rogue wolves at the outskirts of town to ravage her body for nights before they end her pathetic existence." I was dragged into a dungeon. My hands and feet were chained to the ground. "Is this how you repay our Alpha?, he has been nothing but kind to you. Even after your father's death, he stuck his neck out for you. The rest of the pack wanted you banished but he fought to keep you here. Ungrateful Cold bitch!" One of the guards grabbed my cheeks and glared at me while the other began unzipping his pants. "Hey get out the way, I have always wanted to fuck this bitch." Liam, Derrick's gamma told the guard who hesitated, "Oh come on, this bitch is cursed no doubt about that, but you cannot deny she's insanely hot." Liam said shoving the guard away. "Please...please don't do this." I pleaded watching Liam drop his trousers. He wasn't wearing any underwear and his rock hard cock was in full display, "Please I wasn't trying to kill Derrick, I would never do something like that." "I know." Liam leaned and whispered into her ears, "Derrick likes to act nice, but deep down he is the worst of us. He needed to give the pack a reason to justify your death. And just so you know, your father never killed himself. Derrick did. He only stuck his neck out for you to make himself less suspicious of his murder." My heart sank at his words and a gut wrenching scream tore through my throat. It was a scream of pure pain. Why was fate so cruel to me?, for years I had loved the man responsible for my suffering?, I believed I was the reason my father Killed himself, but all this time it was all Derrick? "Hey Chris, stand guard at the entrance and make sure no one comes in. Don't worry after I'm done, I'll let you and the boys have your fun." Liam smirked and the guard glanced over at me again. "No Chris! Please! Please do not leave me with him!" I begged and wept like a child but the guard coldly said. "You want me to stay?, are you that hungry for my cock?, just wait a little bit longer, after he is done, I'll ravage your pussy and asshole until you cannot feel or walk anymore." And then he left. I began to sweat, and unconsciously peed myself. I had never even kissed a man before. My life was absolute dog shit but like every woman, I always believed my first time would be something magical. I never imagined I would be raped and my virginity forcefully taken away. "Oh you're squirting already?" Liam saw the liquid dripping into the ground, "Let me lick it clean." "No please!" Liam began to undress me, slipping off my gown, leaving me with only my underwears. He shifted my pantie to the side and began to touch my pussy. "I know you like it baby girl" He began to tease me, rubbing my pussy. "Stop! Please stop it!" "Shh darling, how can I stop it when your pussy is leaking wet juices like a bitch in heat? Ssshh. I will make you feel good. " He spat on his hand and made my entrance wet enough for him to finger me. Suddenly a loud crash upstairs interrupted him and I heard hundreds of footsteps running around the place. The echoes of swords and wolves clashing against the other filled the dungeon. "Who dares attack us?" Liam frowned putting on his pants, and in the blink of an eye he had a sword around his neck while another soldier handcuffed him. "Who the fuck are you? " Liam spat at them. His question was followed by a devastating blow to his face, that knocked out a few of his teeth. "This pack has been conquered by the Demon wolf Calhoun Northman, Alpha of the Bloodhound pack, our great conqueror. Everyone here, everything you own. The grave you bury your dead. Your Mates and children now belong to him." A tall dark haired handsome man grabbed Liam's face, "Now shut the fuck up and keep moving." My face went pale at his words. Alpha Calhoun was here. He had invaded our pack. For two years, we had heard the terrifying stories of an Alpha who wanted to conquer the world. He was a monster hungry for power. Some said he came from the devil, but others rumored he was the son of the Moon Goddess Chandra herself. "Take him to the hall." He ordered his men. "Yes Beta Damon!" He glanced over at me and broke the chain with his bare hands and tossed me my clothes, "You're beautiful, if you play your cards right, Alpha Calhoun might notice you and take you as one of his whore. It is much better than whatever fate awaited you." He gripped my hands and dragged me upstairs with him. The elegant palace was now reduced to ruins, blood stains splattered across the walls. Dismembered bones and torn flesh scattered on the floor. The gardens once meticulously tended to, were now overgrown and wild. He dragged me into the main hall of the castle. There, a man claded in black armour was speaking to my pack, who were all kneeling with their heads bowed. Next to him was Alpha Derrick, so badly beaten that I could barely recognize him. I couldn't believe there was a wolf powerful enough to defeat Derrick. "I am Alpha Calhoun your new Alpha and from this moment on, you own nothing, not even your lives. Your children are mine, your mates will become my whores, your men will become slave workers and your land will become my territory. Even your souls will follow me to the afterlife and worship me in hell." He began to speak, "A year ago I sent out a messenger to deliver my message to your Alpha. It was simple, submit your pack to my empire and I'll be gracious and let you continue living as citizens under my rule, but your foolish Alpha killed my messenger gruesomely and rejected my offer, and now....well here we are. All this bloodshed could have been avoided if he had been a good little dog and listened to instructions." Suddenly his gaze settled on mine and then it hit me, the scent of a hundred roses and strawberries. I had never smelt anything so..alluring before and instantly I felt drawn to him. What was this feeling?, was I given a second chance by the moon goddess immediately after a rejection? Our eyes met and I knew by the look in his eyes that he had caught a whiff of my scent too. Coldly he said, pointing a finger at me "Bring that whore to me!"Jinx's pov "Calhoun, please!" I cried, my voice echoing off the damp cave walls. "You have to wake up. You have to heal!" His breathing was shallow and each gasp sounded like dry leaves rubbing together. The blue glow of the water was fading, replaced by the dark, oily blood of the snake. I pressed my hands against his chest, trying to hold his broken ribs together, but I felt so small. So weak. Nyx, please, I begged in the silence of my mind. I know you’re tired. I know the silver and the lunar blast hurt you but he’s dying. Our mate is dying. Deep inside me, in the darkest corner of my soul, something stirred. It wasn't a growl. It was a faint, golden pulse. “He... protected... us,” a tiny, raspy voice whispered. It was Nyx, "I don't like him, but he protected us." She sounded like she had been walking through a desert for a thousand years. "He did," I whispered aloud, tears dripping into Calhoun’s pale cheek. "He gave everything and now we have to give it b
Derrick's Pov The moon was high in the sky, but the night felt heavier than usual. Hours had passed, and Jinx was still missing. I couldn't sit still as I paced back and forth across the floor, my boots clicking against the wood as my mind raced with dark thoughts. "Shit!" I shouted at the empty walls. I had underestimated Calhoun. I never thought he would be fast enough or strong enough after being a prisoner in the iron walls to snatch her away from me so suddenly. I collapsed into the edge of the bed, burying my face in my hands. I tried to think, tried to plan, but my brain was a mess of worry. I knew they had to be somewhere in the thick forest surrounding the pack house, but the trees were dense and full of hiding spots. Finding her felt like looking for a needle in a haystack. My mind drifted back to the way Jinx looked at me. A while ago, she had actually helped me. She showed me kindness when I deserved nothing but hatred. After everything I had done, after the wa
I groaned into his mouth, my fingers digging into his muscular shoulders as the broken chains on my wrists clinked softly, a reminder of where I had just been, but the sound was drowned out by the heavy splashing of the water as Calhoun moved us toward the edge of the hot spring. He lifted me effortlessly, my legs wrapping around his thick waist. He stepped into the glowing blue water. It was perfectly hot, soothing the bruises on my skin and the ache in my soul. "You're so beautiful," Calhoun murmured, his eyes scanning my face with a worshipful intensity. He reached for the hem of my ruined shirt, his touch hesitant, as if he were afraid he might break me. "Don't stop," I breathed. "I am afraid I might hurt you little mouse." Calhoun said softly. "you won't." I replied cupping his face and kissing him slowly. He pulled the soaked fabric over my head, tossing it onto the rocks. The steam swirled around my bare skin, and I felt a shiver of pleasure that had nothing t
The cold water of the creek was freezing my blood, but the guards were getting closer. I could see the orange glow of their torches dancing on the snow at the top of the ravine. "They went down! Search every inch!" a guard roared. Calhoun staggered, his weight leaning heavily on me. He was still dazed, his eyes unfocused. We had to move. I pulled him through the waist deep water, the current pulling at our legs. We rounded a bend in the creek, and that’s when I saw it, a dark, jagged hole in the side of the cliff. Steam was puffing out of the hole like the breath of a dragon. "In there!" I hissed, dragging Calhoun toward the opening. As soon as we stepped inside, the freezing air of the forest disappeared. The cave was deep and narrow, slanting downward into the earth. The further we went, the hotter it got. The walls were wet, dripping with moisture that turned into a thick, white fog. "Jinx... stop..." Calhoun rasped, his voice thick with pain. "Just a little furt
I held Calhoun’s head in my lap, my tears dripping into his blood stained cheeks. "Calhoun, wake up," I whispered, shaking him gently. His breathing was shallow, and his skin felt like ice. The lunar blast had drained him and me. My own body felt heavy, as if my veins were filled with lead. "Jinx..." a weak, wet voice called from the cabin. I looked back. Derrick was slumped against a broken beam, clutching his side. Blood leaked through his fingers, staining his expensive shirt. "He’s... he’s going to kill us all if you don't leave him." "Shut up, Derrick!" I snapped. "You did this. You triggered him!" "I was only trying to save you. You saw it for yourself what that man really is. He is a demon. A rabid dog that should be put down before he burns the world to the ground." Derrick said coughing out blood and I glared at him."He is my Demon!" "He will kill you!" Derrick shouted back."That wouldn't be the first time would it Derrick?, seeing that you tried to kill me too." I s
Calhoun took a step into the cabin, and the temperature seemed to drop twenty degrees. The blood dripping from his fingertips hit the wooden floor with a heavy drip, drip, drip that sounded like a ticking clock in the absolute silence. "Calhoun?" I whispered, my voice trembling. He didn't answer. His head tilted to the side, a sickening crack echoing from his neck. He sniffed the air, his chest heaving. The scent of him was overwhelming as it was no longer the comforting smell of rose and rain. It smelled like blood and a cold, metallic darkness that made Nyx howl in terror inside my mind. "Jinx, get back!" Derrick yelled, scrambling to his feet. He wiped blood from his lip and gripped his silver sword with white knuckles. "Calhoun, stop! You’re not in your right mind! Look at her! You’re going to hurt her!" Calhoun’s red eyes slowly flickered toward Derrick. The growl that erupted from his chest was so loud the windows rattled in their frames. "Mine," Calhoun hissed.
