His Silent Luna

CHAPTER 2

Lyka POV

I stayed tied up for five hours until a maid came to untie me. She must have been sent when they realized I wasn't there yet.

The maid's name was Anna, she was five years older than me and an Omega, the lowest ranking. I'm sure she's only helping because she's ordered to but still, she could have just left me here like others have and I'd have to spend the night tied up here until someone else comes along. Once she untied me, I smiled at her but she spat on me in return.

“Don't f*****g curse me, I have enough s**t to deal with already,” she shouted at me and I nodded.

She stared at me in disgust for a good minute then began walking to the pack house. I was even below an Omega.

I followed silently behind her, we got to the main road leading out of the woods. We walked on the path until we reached the highway.

All the way there, Anna had been making gag noises and I felt like crying. When we reached the highway she turned to me, “Could you f*****g walk away from me? Stay ten feet far away from me, I can't stand that stench anymore! It's worse than the smell from Katherine's bathroom!”

I nodded and she was about to turn back around but a black SUV pulled up in front of her and with a gun, a man dressed in black knocked her out.

I stood there frozen in shock as he pointed the gun at me, “Lady Hazel, get into the car. We don't have to do this the hard way.” he shouted at me and I flinched.

Who was Lady Hazel? Definitely not me.

I wanted to tell him that but I couldn't and just stared at him in shock.

“f**k. Get her!” He yelled and five men got out of the van and stormed at me. I attempted to run away but they caught me and dragged me into the van despite all my struggles.

I was gagged, tied to my legs, and blindfolded until we stopped. They dragged me out and we walked for a while until I was suddenly thrown to the ground.

I tried to get on my feet but it was of no use. I stayed there helplessly until I smelled another man enter the room.

“That's her?” The man asked.

“Yes, Your Highness.” They replied in unison.

“What stinks here?” he growled. No reply came but I believe they pointed at me. The man strode over to me and then untied me. He made me sit up and remove my blindfold and gag. “Well well well Cinderella, you think you could run off like that? How dare you play me like that!” He yelled at me and I trembled in fear.

Only a small light bulb that's giving the room light and it wasn't enough to see the person before me clearly.

“I will teach you a lesson you'll never forget, have that in mind but first, we'll complete the deal we made. You're marrying me tomorrow.”

What? Marry him?

I was panicking. I had no idea what he was talking about, or who he thought he was talking to and I couldn't even talk to correct him.

I needed to get out of there, fast. I got up to my feet and began to run in the direction of the door but he yanked my hair, dragged me back to the ground, and slapped me.

Tears streamed down my face as I silently sobbed. The sting on my cheeks was excruciating, I massaged it with my hands, trying to ease the pain but it was of no use. His hands must be made of steel.

“Where do you think you're going, Hazel!” He yelled at me. He bent down in front of me and grabbed my neck and began strangling me. I struggled to get free but he was way stronger than I was, “How dare you!” He growled angrily, “Did you forget that I can easily kill you here? You'll be forgotten just like that!” He was just a few inches away, shouting in my face, his piercing blue eyes sending daggers. “I can decide to just keep you here, torture you until you break, and die miserably.”

His grip was getting tighter and tighter by the second, it was getting harder and harder to breathe as my vision got blurry and my strength weakened.

Just when I thought this was the end for me, he let go and I gasped for air like a fish out of water. My heart was pounding in my ears, I felt my consciousness slowly slipping away and it was frightening.

I began shaking like a wet chicken, I was terrified of the man, he gave off a dangerous aura and I was intimidated. I was too scared to even move so imagine how confused I was when he suddenly our eyes locked and I could see his terrifying icy blue eyes clearly and I'm sure he could see my trembling ones as well, a long terrifying growl escaped from his lips before he said, “You, you're not hazel… you're... you're my mate?”

At that moment, I was not sure if I heard him right. I was still trying to calm myself, clear my vision, and calm my terrified heart. Everything felt surreal to me and I didn't know what to do.

"You look exactly like Hazel!" he exclaimed, “But you have no wolf?” I could hear the disappointment in his voice.

The man snickered, “A weakling for a mate? What a sick joke the moon goddess played.” he groaned loudly, clearly displeased. “And from the look of things, you're a sore loser in your pack. You must be an omega.” He ran his face through his face and hair then growled angrily. “The f**k is this!? I had expectations, I waited for my mate for years only to meet this?” he spaced around the room lamenting.

Ouch. His words stung. Although since I have no wolf, I couldn't feel the mating bond but if he says he's my mate then it's true.

This was the worst way ever to meet a mate, and his words are one of the hurtful ones I've heard in my life – and I've heard a lot.

I was suddenly overcome with sadness. I too had expectations. Just the way his expectations weren't met, so was mine. I wanted to let him know that but I couldn't. Firstly because I couldn't physically do that and secondly, I was too scared of him and disappointed.

I expected my mate to be kind and loving the way my parents and Aunt Aya were, and the way Uncle Marcus and Katherine were before they changed.

He seems to be even worse than my uncle and Katherine. He threatened to kill me or torture me until I died miserably, what kind of a cruel man is he?

“Your Highness, what will you do now? Is that really your mate?” One of the men that kidnapped and brought me here asked.

“No!” I answered immediately, “No, no, no way!” He pointed at me as he continued, “That thing isn't my mate.” He turned his icy blue eyes to me, they were cold, hostile, and unloving. “Not for long.”

He walked back to me, bent down, and said, “You cannot be my mate, I, Silver Dankworth of Blackburn pack, heir to the throne, reject you as my mate.”

He’s the son of the Alpha king? The wedding of the year everyone was talking about?

Now I understand why he's this ruthless. I've heard many rumors about him, how killed an enemy's entire military force alone in a single day. He is ruthless, cruel, unforgiving, and very powerful. Nobody dares cross him or wage war upon his pack.

Is this my fated partner? A sick joke this was indeed.

“Now accept it.” He ordered.

Oh no. How was I going to handle this?

“Accept it!” He barked and I flinched. I began shaking in fear, worried about what he'd do to me. I could not reject it as I couldn't speak. I remained silent and he grew angrier.

“Accept it!” He repeated, his canines grew, as well as his claws and I almost peed my pants. I began crying again since that was the only thing I could do. “Accept it now before I kill you.” He threatened. “I do not need you so release me from this Ill fate this instant!”

I continued crying, I was sure this time he'd kill me. He's not known to give empty threats.

“Speak! Or are you mute?!”

I saw that as my opportunity and I nodded vigorously as my body trembled.

“What? You're also mute?” He questions, momentarily in disbelief before it sits in, “You're mute?! f**k!” I could hear the disappointment in his voice and it stung.

He got up again and paced around the room grumbling to himself, “So I can't even reject you?!” he shouted frustratedly and I just stayed put where I was and watched, waiting for what he'd do next.

“Well if I can't reject you, then I'll just kill you.” He finally concluded and I shook my head at that.

Who the hell is this animal? He wants to kill me? His mate? Alright, he doesn't like me but at least he'll take a little pity on me or something. But instead, he wants to kill me? So I'll die after all.

He grew his claws longer as he approached me, the look in his eyes was murderous. This is it? I shut my eyes as I waited for my fate, to be killed by my mate.

Just then, someone barged into the room and rushed to Silver, he looked towards me and frowned, “Who's that because I found Lady Hazel and she, unfortunately, has left the country.” the man said and Silver growled angrily.

“Your Highness, what will you do now? We can't capture and bring her here in time for your wedding and if you don't get married you won't inherit the throne.” One of the men that kidnapped said.

“I already know all that, Steven!” Silver yelled at him then he turned to me, “I guess you won't be dying after all, you're going to marry me in place of Lady Hazel tomorrow and you'll act the part until I've captured that bitch.”

“I shook my head.” I don't want to marry the person who tried to reject and kill me moments ago. What kind of a game is this?

“You don't have a choice, here.” With that, he left and everyone followed behind him, leaving me alone in the empty room.
