CHAPTER FIVE: Breaking Point

1293 Words
Fiona Skye Two weeks had gone already but I hadn’t been able to recover from the heartbreak and emotional turmoil I had been through. The worst of it was that Alpha Darren had assigned me to be his servant just so he could treat me more like garbage to his satisfaction. If only I had died together with my pack members on that fateful day, I wouldn’t be here to go through all these miseries. I jolted from my squeaky bed in a rush, I had forgotten that I had Alpha Darren’s room to thoroughly clean. Immediately, I rushed into the cleaning room to get the things needed for it. For someone who had been rejected and humiliated by her mate and was supposed to be consoling herself, I didn’t know I managed to put up with the demanding chores while putting up with my shattered heart. I wish I could get saved. I got to his chamber, finding no one there. I began to sweep the wooden floors of the alpha's chamber. As I moved about the room, attending to my duties, Alpha Darren entered, studying my every move. “What are you doing here?” he questioned with his low growling voice that sent shivers down my spine. I kept my gaze lowered and replied, “Cleaning, Alpha, as instructed,” He observed me for a moment before nodding. “See that you do it thoroughly,” he commanded, making his way to the table to have a seat. I continued cleaning but I could feel his eyes on me as I scrubbed the floor. His gaze was intense, like a physical touch that I could not escape. I kept my eyes fixed on my task, trying to ignore the sensation of being watched, but it was no use. With every movement I made, I could feel him watching. “What is that mark on your shoulder?” He spoke up, breaking the silence. Mark? My heart thumped in my chest. The mark on my shoulder had been a hidden thing since I started to exist. How did he see it from a distance? I cleared my throat, “What mark? I don’t have a mark on my shoulder,” I lied. He stood up from his seat and walked towards me with purpose. Immediately, I stopped what I was doing and rose from the floor, stepping backward until I couldn’t. He got to me, boring his eyes into mine. “Are you saying that I saw something wrong?” He said slowly, scanning his eyes all over my body. I nodded in agreement, feeling a bit scared of the situation. He tried to touch my face but I pushed down his hand in a rush. He grabbed my hand forcefully and thundered, “Behave!” I gasped, letting fear take over me. He was Alpha Darren and he could do anything to me. He caressed his index finger on my cheek, letting a smirk appear on his lips. Then, he leaned in to meet my lips with his lips. I put my face away, panting like someone who had just run a marathon. He lifted his hand and landed it on my cheek, making me groan in pain and cry. I held my cheeks, letting my tears fall uncontrollably. Without delay, he lifted me, carrying me to his bed while I struggled to let go of his hold. “Put me down!” I cried out but he ignored me. He walked for a few minutes and finally put me down, but on his bed then proceeded to tear my clothes. He was going to have his way with me without my consent. I began to cry and plead to him to let me go but he ignored me as he was busy struggling to get me out of my clothes. Unfortunately, he tore it wide enough that it was able to expose my cleavage. Just as he was about to tear it more, someone entered. We were both shocked in unison to see who had just entered, behold it was Scarlett. I had multiple feelings rushing through me at the same time. I was happy that I had been saved but at the same time, I was scared that I had gotten into trouble and I was going to face Scarlett’s wrath. Darren froze in action and proceeded to get off me. He adjusted his clothes and walked out immediately. Scarlett, whose face expressed so many emotions at a time walked angrily toward me, yanking me out of the bed. “Come here, you little w***e!” She hissed. I winced, feeling pain from her grip on my hair. She pulled me out of the room and headed to the entrance of the stronghold while holding my hair tightly. She finally let go of my hair, pushing me down the staircase while she stood and watched me roll down it. Before I could know what happened, Elara and Tamara appeared, together with other pack members. “Get me some heavy wood!” Scarlett said angrily, walking downstairs gently to meet me where I had rolled down. “How dare you get close to Darren?! Are you that hungry to have him?! Don’t you have fear? Don’t you have no shame?!” She queried. Her eyes blazed with anger, and her lips curled into a snarl as she spoke to me. “I didn’t do anything wrong,” I sobbed, tears streaming from my swollen eyes down my cheeks. “Who did?” She questioned, letting out a chuckle. “I…” I couldn’t speak further. At that point, I craved to be saved before I died. I prayed in my mind that the moon goddess would give me a second chance. “Today, I will show you what it means to stay clear from what belongs to me!” She yelled. She was about to turn away when Tamara got back with a heavy wood in her hand. Scarlett took it from her and her attention to me. She lifted her hand forcefully, and just as she was about to let the woodland on me, I began to feel strange. With my eyes tightly shut, patiently waiting to get killed, I felt something rising inside of me, something hot and powerful, like a tide rushing in. The pain was excruciating but I was able to endure it. Scarlett and every one of the pack members, including Darren and Cedric who had left their chambers to know what the chaos was all about, stood in shock, watching me in disbelief. My fingers began to change into odd claws, furs began to grow in the necessary places and I could feel veneers popping out in my mouth. With my eyes still closed, I felt my body begin to change, stretching and growing until I was no longer myself. I had become something else entirely, something wild and free. I had shape-lifted into my wolf self. “Fiona, it’s nice to finally meet you. I am Maya, your wolf,” her calm voice sounded off I didn’t know what to say as it was my first time in such a situation and I was still feeling so much pain. “Don’t be scared. I’m here for you,” Maya spoke again I tried to speak but I got distracted while struggling to shape-shift fully, feeling energized and violent. I howled at them repeatedly, making them dart around. “Get her!” Scarlett commanded. Immediately, Arthur made his way towards me. I howled at him but he kept on approaching then I lunged at him, tearing his skin mercilessly. With blood on my mouth and everywhere, I ran into the woods, howling continuously.
