Chapter 1: When Dawn Breaks Too Early

In a confined room filled with different creaking sounds, the sounds made mainly from rats which roamed around the room, a small window served as ventilation in the room. The room was empty, no decoration to beautify the room, old paint already peeling off from the walls, which had created a home for bugs and ants. The only reasonable items were an old chair and table, and a wardrobe, which served the user of the abandoned room as its best valued possession.

It was the very early hours of the morning. A young girl lay on the bed, her thick black hair covering the bed as she lay tired from the previous day's work. She had not been asleep for more than four hours when a bowl of water was poured on her tired body. She woke up with a great force, as if the water poured on her had woken her up from a terrifying dream. Settling back again on the bed, another basin of ice cold water came crashing on her body, causing her to jerk up, her eyes widening with fear. She had overslept, more than her usual time. Falling on her knees in an instant, a sob breaking forth from her lips.

"You ungrateful bitch of a child, what are you still doing on the bed by this time of the early hours of the morning? Who the hell do you think will get the grains sieved and ground, huh? You wolfless girl, my shame and disgrace, now will you stand up and go get the day ready for the pack's breakfast?"

The woman's voice thundered throughout the whole room, the woman's voice sending the young girl out of the room in an instant. Her body sluggishly walked towards the pack's kitchen. It was still the very early hours of the morning, everywhere seemed so dark, not the right time for a normal werewolf to rise up from sleep.

Bella was an omega. She knew she had no right to voice out her thoughts, unless she wanted to be thrown to the city's mine, which might happen soon enough, because no one would accept an omega of the pack as a mate. So soon enough she would be thrown to the pack mine. But sometimes she wished, and hoped, not to be mated to a vicious mate, who would be vicious and good for nothing.

As she strode towards the kitchen, the lights were switched off, giving it a dark view, making her quite scared of walking further into the dark. The lamp stand was still quite far from her reach.

"What is the time? It's probably four in the morning," she whispered to herself, considering the pack had always been up after six o'clock in the morning.

She was about to enter the kitchen when she felt a hand drag her out from the corner. She made a light scream, struggling to break forth from whoever that was dragging her to another room.

"Help, help, let go of me," she shouted, but the alley was too quiet for anyone to hear her. Everyone was still asleep, but who must have been dragging her? Whoever that was dragging her was a male, his hands said so. The man's hands covered her mouth, stopping her from screaming, her words came out muffled. A door opened and closed immediately, and with a heavy force, her back got slammed on a wall, making her back hurt and a hiss escaped her lips. The male was quite a strong one, but the pain never stopped her from trying to struggle, but a heavy slap descended on her face, making her stop struggling as she hissed with pain, holding onto her cheek. A scream erupted from her lips but the male was quick enough to quieten her with his hand.

Raising her head up, the room was dark, but a little light from the rising sun made the features of whoever that had kidnapped her be visible. She saw her captor, who was no other male wolf but the alpha's son, Lucas, the soon to be alpha, who was yet to find a mate for himself but he never got to be blessed by a mate. He was always been spoilt, pampered and raised more than a prince, making him arrogant and evil. His father was the pioneer person who brought out the law of throwing wolfless wolves to the mine so they could suffer for life. Lucas had always been given best things, possessions, and he was her worst bully. The first wolf to make her life painful in the pack, and thus, this made him her worst enemy, and him dragging her here to the store room meant he wanted to give her more trouble. But the male wolf never seemed to make a sentence to her, he had been quiet, watching her with those green eyes, which looked like they wanted to burn her to death.

She raised her head up fully, now staring at his face. He had given her a two feet space, which made her breathe properly. But she knew she was in big trouble.

"What can I help you with, Alpha Lucas?" she whispered, hoping her voice never sounded so rash nor weak. Anything that had to do with the alpha, one needed to be careful with the way they talked. The man was a dark devil who took simple things so seriously.

But the reply she got from him surprised her. The alpha's son strode towards her, caging her on the wall. She shook with fear, never expecting such actions from him. This was the first time the alpha's son had come close to her. What was he trying to do with her? Was he not satisfied with the title of being a bully? Did he want an upgrade of being called a pervert?

Lucas raised his hands on her cheek, as he brought the other hand near her head, blocking her from escaping, then raising her head up, making her look at him, eyeball to eyeball.

"Hello wolfless omega, I never knew you got the energy to fight me back. Well considering in a day's time, would be the day we find our mates," he said, stopping mid way at his words. He was twenty eight, everyone knew how hard it was for him to find his mate, maybe because the goddess had caused him not to ever have a mate because of his evils. But Lucas had never been so serious with the alpha title. He was the only son to the current alpha and Luna, so he did not seem to have any brother whom he could compete for the position of the alpha with. He only had two little sisters.

Lucas could not believe he had the most worthless female in his arms, but he could not resist, at least not having a taste of her, before she got rejected by her mate and then thrown to the mine. That would be a waste, he thought.

"So why don't we have a little bit of fun, also considering the fact that you will be rejected by your mate? No one would accept you, you know. You are an omega, and also you do not have any wolf in you, so why don't you take the privilege I'm offering you on a platter of gold? And let's have a little bit of fun, before the pack members awake and maybe I will save you from the hands of your mate, when the time comes, you might not be thrown to the dungeon."

Lucas said, offering her a devious smile. It was not everyday the alpha son offered someone sexual advances, all unmated females wanted him in their arms, so who was the slave to reject him?

"So would you like it slow, or fast? I'm at your command, beauty," Lucas said, biting her neck, feeling as she shivered under his touch. As he was about to unzip her dress, the reaction he had expected from her shocked him to the brim. It was worse than he had expected.
