Chapter 4
Alpha Jordan watches as the warrior flogged her helplessly with blood gushing out of her body. He felt every pain that was inflicted on her.She is his mate, but right now he felt hurt for allowing her to be punished even when she was innocent, he felt hurt for not being able to protect his mate. And also he was angry that he was mated to a slave but somehow he liked the fact she was his mate and also wondered why her scent and Appearance differ, with the way she talked he wondered if she was a slave from the start."If you feel the pain that much, why don't you try to stop them "Austin questioned as he jerked from his thoughts."How long have you been standing here ?"He questioned with his face fixed on her, instead of Austin."long enough to see the pain you went through each time she gets weep "He commented smiling at his friends."What did you know, can you read my thoughts now ?" he asked his friends who kept smiling at him."not really, she is your mate isn't she?"Austin finally asked taking Alpha Jordan by surprise"When did you find out ?"Alpha Jordan asked, with a straight face. He is not ready to let anyone know and how Austin finds out sooner makes him wonder who else knows about this."Since the first day, "Austin answered, tapping his friend who seemed lost."Is it so Obvious? "He asked one more time, staring at his friend."Not so Obvious dear Friend, mind taking a walk with me "He turns to him, taking his hands without his approval as they both turn to walk away.Alpha Jordan turned to look at Cora for the last time who was still determined not to admit to the fact that she steals, she wishes death would gladly take her away but the thought of avenging her parent's death flooded her mind, and she became strong again. she smiles as they keep on flogging her.Lydia looks at her and she is angry at the fact that she still smiles under punishment. She felt hurt even when she was going through pain, All she wanted was for Cora to beg her for mercy which she refuses to do.The sound of only the birds whispering can be heard, the trees dance to the tune of the whispering sound of the cool forest.Austin and Alpha Jordan's footsteps can be heard in the forest, and both walk silently into the forest."So about her....."Austin was about to mention the slave girl when Alpha Jordan cut him short"What about her, hope you already know I can't accept her as my mate" Alpha Jordan pointed out to Austin who was not satisfied with his response."Why ?, because she is a slave and she is not from our pack, because everyone termed her as a thief and you can't associate with one, because she doesn't have Alpha blood "Austin commented as to why he can't accept her as a mate, he had always wanted him to find his second chance mate after his first rejections by his mate which take place a long time ago"This is not about me, this is about what the pack members want "Alpha Jordan voiced out."and who cares about the pack members, she is your mate go for her and be happy "Beta Austin advised the confused Alpha"pretty good enough she will make a good luna, she is very different from all the slaves and your pack's female wolf '' He complimented"I wonder if she finally decides to admit to the fact that she stole from me''Alpha Jordan voiced out, his mind drifting to the pain she might have been passing through from the weeping."Did you also believe she steals from you, even when you know how cunning and wicked Lydia is?"Beta Austin stated, looking at his Alpha as they turn to walk back to their pack.Lydia is one of the Elder Daughters, who use to be close to Alpha Jordan's father when he was alive their friendship was so strong that Alpha Jordan's Father appointed his daughter with an honorable position that mixes mixed uses but no one dares question herShe was made to be in charge of slavery right from time and the slave trade has always existed even when Alpha Jordan was still small.As the only surviving heir to his pack, he took over the slave trade from his father after his death, he has been it so smoothly.Everyone knows the silver pack to be the strongest pack in history with over 300 Pack warriors, who were all-trained by Alpha Jordan himself.He valued his packs a lot and he was not ready to let them down, not today and not tomorrow.The walk back to the back was as silent as ever as they both seems not to have anything to talk about rather down walked silently why listening to the sound made by the trees and the melodies produced by the birds"And when will you go in search of your mate, you are not getting any younger, "Alpha Jordan asked his best friend Austin, whom he had been his friend since childhood, and also promised to always stand by each other in any circumstances."Fair enough, when you are already committed to giving us an heir ''He answers as they both smile at themselves.Arriving at the packs and back at the Dungeon, Alpha Jordan notices a shadow lying lifelessly on the floor, he rushes to the dungeon only to find out Cora was the one on the floor. He felt hurt and heartbroken to see her in such a critical condition. Austin turn to her and off he went, rushing to bring some water while Alpha Jordan without thinking twice rushed her from the floor in a bridal style running to his Chambers as everyone stares at their Alpha in surprisedChapter 5Alpha Jordan lay Cora in his bed and immediately Beta Austin and the wolf doctor rushed in, the wolf doctor immediately attended to her, and blood gushed out of every part of her body.She is covered with so much blood that even the wolf doctor was surprised at what might have happened to her and she was covered with so much blood. Slowly he attended to all her injuries and then cleaned every part of her body, he saw different marks on her body and also noticed that she was sick and she had never taken any treatment.Alpha Jordan paced around, scared of what might have happened and why he went far away. He should have watched over her and stopped them. He blamed himself for whatever happened to her. Austin tapped on him continuously with the assurance that she would be fine.The wolf doctor walked out of the Alpha Chambers as both Austin and Alpha Jordan rushed to him, bombarding him with questions "How is she? what happen to her, "Both asked simultaneously without giving t
Chapter six. 'Is he truly my mate? No, how could i think of something as ridiculous as that. The Alpha can't be mated to someone like me.' She thought.But she still couldn't explain how she felt drawn to him. Just his scent is making her feel things she's not felt before.She stared at him for a long time trying to figure out what it was about him that made her attracted to him. She looked from his blond hair that was shorter on the side,longer on the top to his strong nose, sharp jawline,full pink lips and the most beautiful long neck. She noticed his muscles through his shirt and wondered how he would look like shirtless. She was so drawn to him that she reached out and started to caress his face without even realizing it. Beta Austin who's a light sleeper woke up and watched Cora with a smile on his face. "They look so good together" he thought and went back to sleep.Alpha Jordan was having a peaceful sleep for the first time due to the fact t
Chapter sevenLydia was furious that a mere Omega dares talk back at her. She was also scared that if she is given the chance to become Luna she would lose her job as head of slaves due to the way she's been maltreating her. She had to think of something. Then she also had to deal with the stupid prophecy of the fortune teller. She couldn't allow one stupid mistake to stop the plans her family had been making for years. Her father has to be the Alpha. Speaking of which he's still annoyed with her. Just because of this silly Cora. Her father would know what to do but she couldn't go to him yet. She would do that when he's calm. For now, she would make sure she doesn't assign Cora anywhere near where the Alpha will be. Yes, that will be the plan for now. And she will make sure to give her enough work so she wouldn't have time to wander around. With that, she ordered a guard to bring Cora from her room.Cora who had just started to settle into bed was astonished at the entry of the guard
Chapter eightThe next couple of days went by in a blur. The incident that happened between the Alpha and Cora is long forgotten. The gossip mill now had something else to discuss. Cora had also started to get used to cleaning duty probably because she had a friend now. Lucy has been a good company so far and she couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't met her before. Still, she was grateful to the moon goddess for bringing her into her life. She made all that she was going through easy. Cora was put out of her thoughts by a slap from Lydia."Daydreaming are we? If everyone decided to sit around and daydream, how will the work get done?" Lydia asked" I'm sorry ma'am" Cora apologized" You had better be. Now get to work before I lose my temper"" Yes ma'am," Cora said and scurried away"What are y'all looking at? Don't you have work to do? Or do you want to be punished?" Lydia shouted at the people who gathered expecting a scene.Immediately it w
"Why are you here ?"Cora asked Lucy ,who had taken her turn in ignoring her questions.she washed the clothes in silence .Not ready to give an answer to her questions .Just as she had expected, Lydia gave Cora extra work to do. So as for Cora to miss the mate ball ceremony once more ."You should be in the mate ball ceremony,not with me "She stated , staring at Lucy who kept on watching the dirty clothes in silence ,as she purposely ignored her ."Lucy ,I know you are mad at me ,but please don't be too hard on me "She paused to look at Lucy with an expectancy but she still got ignored by Lucy."Lucy please ,I'm sorry can we start all over? "she said with the hope that she would finally speak to her .Lucy stopped whatever she was doing as she stared silently at her .Her eyes boring deep into Cora's eyes like she left something there that she was looking at ."Look whatever beef we have , should be kept outside for now "she said "I don't know why Lydia is being so hard on you,but still
"Lusting over an Alpha "Lydia quarried,with her hands on her waist .She was damn angry at her for staring at the alpha in a romantic way ,and the fact that she was more engrove with the alpha and how he dance romantically with Cora instead of her created a deep anger on her ."Since when have you been admiring the alpha like your life depends on him?"Lydia asked, expecting her to give an immediate answer to her questions but she was more than surprised,when all she did was to stare deeply at her without uttering any word from her mouth.Lydia was deeply frustrated and also she was angry ,the only reason she is this calm was because she was in the midst of many wolves from different packs and she would not want to create any suspicious activities that will bring more disregard to the pack ."Aren't you the one I'm talking to?"She questioned Cora who kept acting like she didn't exist . She smiles and looks around ,in a way that shows she was actually looking for whoever was making such
Cora's heart was pounding against her chest as she quickly left the Alpha's presence and ran back to her quarters. She couldn't believe what had just happened,she engaging in a romance with the alpha even when she knew very well ,that their mate won't work .She sigh at the fact that the Alpha was her mate, and yet she couldn't allow herself to give in to the bond. The thought of what the pack would do to her if they found out was too much to bear.As she ran through the darkened corridors, she couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over her. She knew that the pack members didn't like her, but she had never felt such intense hatred from them before. It was like they could sense her connection to the Alpha, and they hated her for it.She finally arrived at her small, cramped room, and she locked the door behind her. She leaned against the door, her breath coming in short gasps as she tried to calm down. She couldn't keep running forever, but she didn't know what else to do.She w
Cora was exhausted, mentally and physically drained from the events of the past few days. She couldn't believe that everything had come crashing down so quickly. As she walked to her room, she was grateful for the support of Lucy and Austin. They had been there for her every step of the way, even when she didn't deserve it.Soon they reached her room, Austin gave her a hug and whispered a few words of encouragement before heading back to his own room. She could feel the weight of his absence as he left, but she was grateful for the Both Austin and Lucy for coming to her rescue at the last minutes . Lucy remained in her room , her eyes fixed on Cora with a look of anger and confusion."What the hell is wrong with you?" Lucy asked, her voice laced with emotion. "How could you do this to us? To yourself?"she added ,her anger taking the best part of her .She didn't have an answer for her friend. She couldn't explain the choices she had made or the reasons behind them. All she knew was t
