Hazel POV
I patted Ava as she continued speaking with tears in her eyes despite that she still managed to smile as if telling me that -it- was -alright before she continued speaking.
After that night, I was always mocked, abused and molested by the pack members and the luna always punishes me whenever the alpha is not around. Every night the alpha always calls for me and whenever I disobeyed him he always makes sure to punish me and gives me to warriors and alphas to toy with. Once the alpha got tired of me, he sent me here to become an omega.
I was about to say something else when I heard footsteps slowly fading.
"I have to go now!" She stated and I nodded, as soon as she left, I crawled into my small bed recalling all she had said before dozing off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I checked myself as soon as I was dressed, I looked lean and pale, with huge bags under my eyes because I had barely slept last night, my dress was torn all thanks to alpha Logan and I have no choice but to change into my old ones especially now that Teresa appears furious at the sight of it.
I went down the hallways knowing fully well that no one would be up by now just as I was dwelling in those thoughts, I bumped into a hard chest and to my utmost surprise, alpha Logan was standing before me with an unreadable expression on his face. My eyes wandered up slowly, he was shirtless, sweat glistening on his body probably coming from a run, and his sea of abs was staring at me right in the face, I was shamelessly gawking at him despite all I have heard and knew I would soon be to him.
Then I felt someone glaring at me, it was no other person than my beloved Teresa glaring at me as if I had ruined an opportunity for her, her face was caked up with excessive makeup which I think it's too early in the morning.
As soon as she faced alpha Logan, a smile cracked on her face and she was blushing furiously and fluttering her lashes like the slut she was.
"Alpha Logan……" she called in a sweet soft voice grinning like a cheshire cat before hardly completing her statement. "Good morning, I was wondering if you would like to have some coffee with me."
"I am sorry but I can't, maybe some other time," alpha Logan replied with a stoic expression on his face as if not swayed by Teresa's charm.
"It won't take long, it's just for a few minutes," she pleaded further sounding like a desperate puppy in need of a bone.
"As I had said earlier, I have some other urgent things to do," he said and with that, he left.
"You always bring bad luck," she gritted her teeth stomping on the ground before leaving, thank goodness that was all she said or I would be in trouble.
As soon as she left, I dashed into the kitchen to see Seraphina and a few omegas working.
"You finally came," Seraphina said with a frown.
"Now if you please move here and start peeling these potatoes," she added and I immediately did as I was told.
"It's high time you finished making the sauce don't want to keep the Alphas waiting!" The head omega Seraphina voice boomed in an annoyed voice.
"Just a moment and I am done with it," I replied but she was already gone scolding another omega.
I heaved a sigh of relief as soon as I was done before grabbing the tray and heading to the dining room where all the alphas are already seated discussing amongst themselves.
Right now, I wished to be done so quickly and disappear out of there.
The Luna sat beside the alpha ranting with a practiced smile on her face. Teresa sat beside alpha Logan batting her lashes while blushing furiously.
"Hazel," Teresa called in a gentle voice, something she rarely ever did.
"Yes Ma'am," I replied with a polite smile, my brows raised curiously as I was growing impatient and wished to disappear out of here.
"Could you please get me more sauce?" She asked with the same tone making me wondering what's gotten into her.
"Sure!" I replied before dashing into the kitchen.
After the breakfast, I went into the garden taking a seat on the bench and admiring the red rose in my hands, thankfully there was no one around. I closed my eyes enjoying the fragrance of the flower when a noice startled me. It was Tate with a malicious grin on his face.
"I knew I did find you here doll," he said as he moved towards me as I abruptly stood up and took a few steps back.
"Stay away from me!" I said in a firm voice, my heart was pounding loudly in my chest, there was no one in sight and he could do anything he wanted.
"Feisty doll?" he smirked as he strode towards me.
"Don't move any closer or?" I threatened as I stepped away from him.
"Or what? what are you going to do?" he said with a playful smile on his lips.
"Or I will scream," I said, my voice came out in a whisper as I took another step away from him, literally begging the moon goddess for someone to pop out or something."
"Scream for all I care, besides who are they going to believe? you or me?" he smirked as I finally reached a corner.
He moved towards me and grab my chin harshly while I struggled against his grip.
"Leave me alone," I yelled as his grip grew tighter and I began to panic, but he didn't stop as he lowered his head slowly to reach mine.
'What in the goddess name was he trying to do.'
I struggled against him and with all the strength left in me, I pushed him harder making him land on one of the rose flower bushes.
Panic washed through me as I slowly moved towards him, he was lying still, his hands were now slowly dripping with blood as the thorn from the roses had stuck into it. I placed my hands on his forehead but he didn't move, I checked his wounds but they were not healing and I wished so hard that I was dreaming.
"What's going on here?" I heard a deep loud dominating voice ask and immediately knew that belonged to.
'The Alpha! I was so dead!'
"I didn't mean to push him so hard, I was only trying to defend myself," I replied with a whisper as I was shaking with fear. I could see the the Luna coming towards me, panic written on their faces.
"No! No! what happened to him Reid? please say something." she wailed as she tugged on his shirt.
"Go and get the pack doctor!" the Alpha ordered.
"What have you done this time witch?" the luna wailed as she move towards me with a glare on my face.
"I'm sorry luna, it was not intentional," I tried to explain as panic and fear ran through my veins. My palms started to grow sweaty as I wiped it with my clothes.
"Hey! You good for nothing b***h! what have you done to my son! he is not even healing!" she yelled as she examined his brushes.
"Hey go get the pack doctor!" she yelled at the maid opposite her direction before shooting daggers at me. Luckily the pack doctor came and checked his pulse before telling the guards to bring him inside.
"You better pray he wakes up soon or else I will kill you! I won't care what benefits you would bring this pack! You good for nothing wolfless girl!" she growled, her eyes gleaming and I immediately knew her wolf was surfacing which made me step back a little as she took predatory steps towards me and slashing me on the neck making me to wince in pain, tears threatening to spill.
"What are you waiting for, take her into one of the dungeons and torture her untill she learns her lesson!" she ordered the pack warriors who immediately followed her orders grabbing me roughly as I managed to cover my neck to reduce the bleeding.
"Beatrice! You won't do any of this! Tate is perfectly fine!" I heard the alpha say and relief flooded through my veins, but that only lasted for a moment when I heard the alpha continue. "We can't afford any mistakes remember else we won't get the alliance? we can't afford anymore damages to our pack?"
"So what? I don't care what deal you made! all I want is her bundled with silver chains from head to toes and undergoing through an heavy torture session!" she caterwauled poking him by the ribs.
"What's going on here?" I heard a deep loud and husky voice ask, booming with authority making everyone silent including the luna who immediately composed herself. The guard immediately released me which I was grateful for because I immediately grabbed my neck properly to stop the bleeding.
"I'm sorry alpha, nothing much happened except that she almost killed my son," the alpha explained as the luna wrapped her arms around his waist and began sniffing loudly.
'She almost killed him, my poor baby is injured.' Alpha Logan sniffed the air furrowing his brows before walking towards me making my heart pounded louder against my chest as fear washed over me and everyone could easily scent it. I took a quick glance at the Luna who smirked at me.
I lowered my gaze to the floor as he moved closer and covered my wound.
"Raise your head!" his deep voice resounded in my ears as I complied, his hands slowly found its way to mine slowly revealing my neck soaked with my own blood.
"Who did this to you?" he demanded with a stoic look on his face. I looked at him before looking at the luna whose face was now pale looking at me with a pleading look, too bad he followed my trail and caught me staring at her.
"Is she the one responsible?" he asked with no hint of emotion and I slowly nodded.
"Lock her up in the dungeon and make sure she receives a torture session! no one touches what is mine and go Scot free!" he ordered making me look startled as the guards immediately bundled her up.
Wait a second, I am human not something he could claim, well that's the least of my problems.
"No! you can't do this do to me, this is my territory," the luna wailed as she is being drag by the guards.
"REID!" she screamed calling the alphas name but he gave her a pathetic face.
"For your Luna trying to touch what's mine, I can't bear to stay any minute in this pack!" he continued and I saw the alpha cowering with fear.
"But alpha, you haven't even finished signing the alliance," I finally managed to stop stammering.
"Are you trying to stop me from leaving?" he said with furrowed brows making the alpha confused.
"No alpha, I dare not!" he immediately replied with his head bowed slightly." I just wanted to ask if you are leaving with her?" he asked.
"Of course, she is mine now, why shouldn't I?" he replied with a stoic look on his face making my face go pale.
'Oh no! from frying pan to fire!'
Could my life get any worse?
