Alpha's Worthless Beauty

Man With Many Faces

~ Serena's POV ~

“Why are you hesitating so much, love? I know Cecilia tried to drown you, but you don’t have to worry about anything. I will punish her and in return I want you to smile at me.” Asher’s words were more like a command than a request. He was sliding his finger over my body and I could feel his breath on my face.

There was nothing but darkness around me. I could sense from the soft mattress that this ain’t my room, but his. My clothes are wet and they are sticking to my body. He must be enjoying this view to his fullest. He kept saying stupid things to me after his father snatched everything.

Do I want to kill him?

Well, I would be stupid if I said that I didn’t have such a thought at the start, but what could a blind and deaf person like me do? I was beaten up, I was tormented and they even made sure to provide me with limited food, so what’s the point of living? I am nothing more than a corpse anyway, so even if this person is whispering comforting words to me from time to time, I still want to strangle him to death before leaving this world.

Hatred is a luxury that I can’t afford in my current situation. Asher enjoys seeing my desperate expression whenever he tries to have his way with me. He is trying his best to control himself as he wanted to have my virginity on my eighteenth birthday. Well, he must be happy as my birthday falls on the same day as the twins, but nobody gives a damn about my birthday in this pack.

The only person who remembers it is the sole man who is desperately waiting to have me. I can’t understand his weird obsession with me.

“Why don’t you try to take my name? I know that you can’t speak, but at least try. I want you to try for my sake, Serena. You know that there is no one other than me who cares about you in this cold place, right?

Why do you hate me so much? I do remember that your stupid brother talked about you having a crush on me. You should be happy that I have laid my eyes on someone as pathetic as you. I could take you right now if I wanted to, but I don’t want to use force on you.” I felt his lips on the side of my neck and that was enough to make me feel disgusted.

By now, my whole body must be covered with goosebumps. I tried to push away his rock-hard body, but he simply pinned my hands above my head.

“The ceremony is tomorrow, Serena. The day when you will become mine. I have already prepared a nice dress for you for tomorrow, so don’t forget to wear it and if you try to wear something else, then I will tear those clothes in front of all the guests.

Well, I do prefer you naked on my bed while waiting for me, so I am just reminding you to behave properly, alright? You could feel what sort of effect you have on me, right?” He whispered to me whilst he pressed his body against mine. I could feel something poking me and it didn’t take me long to understand that he was trying to rub his thing against me.

For how long do I have to go through all of this? Why did my father ask me to live? What’s the point of surviving without my family and my people? Do I have to suffer till the end of my life? Why didn’t these people get rid of me when they killed everyone?

“You do make quite cute expressions when I try to get closer to you. I know that even you enjoy this, but why do I feel that sometimes you don’t appreciate my hard work? I try so hard to look after you, but you dare to look down at me. Why? Do you think you are above me? You believe that you are better than me, don’t you?

I could guess just by looking at your expression, Serena.” He was whispering those weird things to me, but suddenly he bit my earlobe and I ended up squealing in pain as he was not ready to easily let go of me. I am not able to understand his resentment towards me. Asher, his twin sister and their father... I just can’t understand them.

It’s been a long time, but I still haven’t heard from my wolf. I was not a coward, but they tried to break my resolve by tormenting me to my core. Maybe even my wolf was disappointed in someone like me. I once wanted to find my mate as I thought that he might take me away from this place, but what’s the point of waiting for someone who won’t even look at me? Even if, by some miracle, I found my mate, then that person would surely reject me for being unworthy of his affection.

Cecilia was right. Nobody would want an unworthy mate like me.

“Ahh... ahh!” I yelled. I wanted to say to get away from me, I wanted to tell him to stop hurting me, but nothing was coming out of my mouth other than the useless whimpering sounds.

I hate them, I hate myself for my uselessness. I could feel that my earlobe was bleeding, but no one in this place cared about my injuries or pain.

The place that once provided me with warmth has now completely vanished because of all these people.

“I will see you tomorrow and after the ceremony, I want you to wait for me in my room. Oh, I would love it if you would wait for me while spreading your legs. That would be a wonderful sight that I will surely remember.” He said while he gently kissed my forehead.

What the heck is he saying?

I want to leave this place, but where can I go?

Suddenly, someone helped me to get up and after that, I was getting dragged somewhere.

“Jeez! What does Asher see in her?” I heard the voice of one of the pack members.

She must be talking with the other person who is holding me by my right arm.

“Tsk, he will get bored soon. Cecilia knows her brother, so I am certain that this one is soon going to be tossed away by Asher. Forget about her. After throwing her in the storeroom, our work would finish. Do you know that tomorrow there will be lots of Alphas of other packhouses are going to gather here? Cecilia told me that she personally invited the Alpha of the Dark Moon pack. He might be interested in Cecilia.” The other one replied, while they both sounded quite excited about this Alpha.

“Umm, are you talking about Alpha Daemon? He surely is quite a hot topic among the pack members these days. I heard he is not only handsome, but quite smart. What was his name again? Yeah, I remember. He is known as the man with many faces.” They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t even care that I was injured.

Well, it’s not like this is the first time or anything like that.

But most of all, who is this man and why are they calling him a man with many faces?

Alpha Daemon... I don’t think I have heard his name before, so why am I feeling so anxious about this person?

Those two women threw me inside the storeroom, which must be smaller than Cecilia’s closet.

My clothes are still wet and I am feeling a bit cold. I coughed and sneezed, but there was nothing around me. I tried to search for a blanket by moving my hands around the floor, but I found nothing. The floor was cold and so was my body. I hugged my knees while I was sitting on the floor. There was a time when I once wanted to explore faraway places, but things are different now. The day when I am going to lose everything is already set and, sadly, I am not able to do anything about this damn situation of mine.

At the ceremony, Asher is going to trample on me and Cecilia is going to put salt on my wounds. I want to put an end to an end to everything and meet my family. I am not scared of dying, but I could not say the same thing about living.

I don’t remember when I slept, but the day of the ceremony came faster than I thought. I don’t know what I was wearing, but I was feeling cold in the dress. Asher ordered the same girls to help me to dress up and, while dressing me up strangely, they were laughing.

The material of the dress is light to the touch and I could feel the wind. What sort of dress did the bastard give me? I could hear people mumbling and some girls were even saying that I am nothing more than a selfish b***h.

I was given the tray of champagne as they don’t like the freeloader like me in the packhouse, so they want me to work. I could not even see properly, so how do they expect me to serve the guests? Suddenly, someone pushed me from behind and before I could understand anything, I heard an angry voice, “How dare you ruin my clothes, you b***h! People are laughing at me. You must have done this purposely, right?”

No, I need to get away from this man. Before I could move away, he grabbed me by my hair and pushed me down on the floor. People started to kick me and all I did was try to cover myself.

So, weak.

I could do nothing but endure their harsh actions. I need to lower my head even when I have done nothing wrong. I need to apologise if I want to hold on to this stupid life, but I refuse to look down and lower my head.

“I didn’t know that the rumoured girl would be such a beauty.

They were wrong. You are not worthless. At least not to me. Come, let me help you.” I heard a deep husky voice and this was the first time that someone was saying comforting words to me, but I am not a fool. There is nothing like a free lunch in this cruel world, so what exactly this person wants from someone like me?

Who is this man and why is he taking my side?

He says that I am not worthless, but could I trust his words?
