LOGIN"I will make you wish for death," he spat wickedly, his eyes blazing into mine. "But death... will be too far away." ***** Rita Maxwell was hated by all, including her mum and her twin sister, Becky, due to the birth scar on her face, the same scar that was termed a curse and had condemned her. What could be more cruel than having fate take a twist into one’s worst nightmare? Rita’s kindness was mistaken for treason and attempted murder, and she was reduced from a despised daughter to a rejected and hated maid in the packhouse. But on her eighteenth birthday, the tables turned so cruelly that she wished they never had. All she ever asked for was love, a perfect life with a mate who cherished her, not the other way around. As the hands of time ticked and broken hearts bled, what becomes of the bond that was once termed a curse, a taboo… manipulated? What becomes of Rita, the cursed and hated pack omega?

Only the panting hearts of two were heard. My breath and that of Marvin.“Nooo,” he growled, eyes blazing as they met mine. “No, there is nowhere on earth this could have been possible,” he blurted angrily, trying to drag the cord that intertwined us together as mates, but it bulged and could only be severed if he accepted or rejected me.“You evil swine, what did you do? Tell me the witch you visited to make this happen. Answer me,” he barked, his eyes burning into mine with rage that he couldn’t control.“I said answer me,” he roared, and I jerked back, dread and confusion colliding at me. The hate in his eyes, the rage, was second to none. His jaw clenched, teeth grinding with such force that it sent another pul
RitaI blinked, confused, wanting to speak, but before I could even form words, everything became blank, void, empty, only leaving me with the realization that I was still under the shower and, worse, the loud bang from the shower door.I quickly slipped into another set of clothes I had brought along into the washroom and hurried to unlock the door, but what met me wasn’t what I expected.Smack!A loud slap cracked across my cheeks, sending me staggering back into the showers and almost losing my footing if I hadn’t clung onto the marble wall in time.“What gave you the guts to leave the kitchen unattended?” Anna’s fury burned into me. “Standing under the shower as if a thousand baths could wash away your sins!”I lowered my head, swallowing the pain.“If anything goes wrong today, just know you’ll pay for it,” she barked, storming toward the door without turning back. “Are you still standing there?”I followed in silence. By the time we got to the kitchen, I gulped in shock at the p
Four years laterRita“You.”His voice roared in my head, so terrifying that I had to jump out of bed to the blurring sound of the alarm by my bedside. It was the same nightmare that had taunted me these past four years, The same one that had shattered my life and dragged me into a cruelty I had never imagined for myself.I quickly ran out of bed when I reached for the clock. “Nooo,” I shouted, hurrying to take my bath.There was no way I was resuming late today. There was no way I would let myself experience any harsh treatment from Anna, the chief maid, for lateness. I took the quickest shower ever and hurried out of the servant’s quarters to the open space just by the courtyard. That was my designated duty this morning.I looked around. No one was looking my way; everyone was busy with their activities, which was a good sign. Relief barely settled before her voice cut through the air.“Why are you still stuck there all morning?”I flinched. The broom slipped from my grasp and hit t
Slowly, I forced my eyes open, my heart already prepared to plead, to swear I hadn’t seen anything, to beg for mercy. But as my lips twitched with no words forming, only broken whispers, I found the foot of the tree empty.No one was there.I looked around from the tree, and no one came into view except the woman still sprawled in the mud a few meters away, her body crippled and her hands fallen limply to her sides.My heart tightened when she tried to whisper something through the pain and weakness consuming her. I couldn’t make it out clearly, but I thought I heard…“Someone… help.”Without thinking, reckless, terrified, and desperate, I made the greatest mistake of my life. I climbed down from the tree and rushed toward her. She looked so feeble, struggling to lift her head from the mud, her strength failing her completely.I couldn’t stand there and do nothing.Dropping into a crouch, I tried to turn her onto her side, but blood kept pouring from her head, warm and sticky, soaking
