ALPHA ROGAN OWNS ME

Present: 2023 Nina was lost in sleep and her dream world, when she felt someone hit her at the back of her head. She jerked up awake because of the pain and muttered an "ouch". "Wake up you lazy brat, who do you think you are to do as you please? A queen?" The familiar sharp voice of Ms. Clara prevented Nina from rejoining her dream world. Nina groaned frustratedly as she got up from the bed, glaring daggers at Ms. Clara. "You have two minutes to get dressed and join the girls outside to start the day's work" she thundered. "Yes, Ms Clara" Nina responded flatly.

"You better don't let me come back here to check on you..." Ms. Clara warned. "Yes, Ms. Clara" After Ms. Clara scoffed and walked out of the room, Nina sighed and sat down tiredly on the bed. She looked around the small dimly lit room that was full of bunk beds. 'Those wretched girls, they couldn't even wake me up' she thought, flaring with anger. She had slept very late the previous day because she had extra chores to do and could still feel her bones protesting for her to go back to sleep. But alas she couldn't, not when the maid supervisor was a few minutes away from chopping her head on the block. Her eyes suddenly widened when she remembered something, she got up and retrieved a small calendar from under the bed. She took out a pen and marked a date. "Just a day left until my eighteenth birthday, after today I'll finally be free," Nina said to herself with a relieved smile. She was turning eighteen tomorrow and her Alpha king Uncle had promised to give her her freedom. She would be free from working as a maid and would be allowed to find her mate. It was all she ever wanted, to be with her mate and be free. "NINA!!!" The scary voice of Ms. Clara from outside cut short her happiness and she cussed in realization that she still wasn't ready. "Coming Ms Clara" Nina responded back and immediately hid the calendar and began to dress up in the maid uniform. After getting dressed, she immediately ran out of the maid's quarters to join the girls who had already begun cleaning. Some girls laughed at her while others just ignored her existence, no one wanted to associate with her which she had gotten used to. This has been her life since the pack relocated. Hours later, Nina was cleaning the Alpha's office when Alpha King Uthar walked in. She curtsied and greeted, "Alpha King Uncle Uthar" Uthar nodded in acknowledgement and took his seat, ignoring her presence as he worked. Nina cleaned nervously and sneaked glances at him at intervals, she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. Since her parents died twelve years ago, Uthar has been her only family left but apart from that, nothing connected them. He demoted her to a maid because she was an Omega without parents and promised her freedom when she turned eighteen. They only shared blood ties but Uthar regarded her as a mere maid. "Erm... Alpha king Uncle, you might not remember but I'm actually turning eighteen tomorrow" Nina said with a nervous chuckle, finally gaining enough courage to speak. "And so what?" Uthar asked, not even sparing her a glance. Nina stopped cleaning and came forward to stand in front of him, head still bowed. She said, "Y...you pro...promised to give me back my freedom when I turn eighteen. I wanted to..." Alpha king Uthar burst into laughter, cutting her off. Nina wasn't happy about it but she stayed still waiting for him to finish. He was the alpha and she was just an ordinary maid, talking without permission was a death sentence. "Freedom? You must be quite delusional" Uthar said in between laughs, "Get ready, Alpha King Rogan will be coming to get you tomorrow" he added. "What?!" Nina couldn't control herself from exclaiming. She raised her head to look at her uncle with confusion clear on her face. "Twelve years ago, Alpha King Rogan helped our pack during the dreadful war with rogues on the condition that you would be given to him as a breeder" Uthar explained without any remorse or regret. If not for Rogan, the pack would have gone into extinction. After relocating to Rogan's territory, the rogues never came back to attack as if they were scared of Rogan's pack. To Uthar, gifting out his niece to Rogan was worth it. Nina's legs wobbled weakly and gave way, she had been dreaming of her freedom for as long as she could remember and now when it was almost in her grasp, she was given in exchange for the pack's survival. Tears welled in her eyes from her painfully constricting heart, at that moment she missed her parents even more. If they didn't die so early, she wouldn't be suffering so much. "Don't stain my office with your tears, you should be lucky that Alpha King Rogan took interest in you. You are useless, do you think any man would want to accept you as his mate? Stop dreaming kid and prepare to be taken tomorrow" "Send Ms. Clara over, you are relieved of your duties, and she will ensure that you are presentable to meet Alpha King Rogan tomorrow. You may leave" Uther waved her off to leave his office. Nina picked herself up despite her broken heart and bowed to Alpha King Uthar. She knew she couldn't object to him, her life was at his mercy. And very soon, it was going to be at Alpha King Rogan's mercy. She heard he was the most ruthless alpha in the region, him laying claim on a six-year-old girl just to be his breeder was enough proof. Everyone knew that he didn't care about love, he only wanted an obedient girl to become his baby-making machine. And unluckily, Nina was the girl he picked.

Flashback: Year 2011

"Thank you Alpha King Rogan for honoring my request for this meeting. I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances" Uthar said as he offered his bruised hands for a handshake.

"It's alright Alpha King Uthar, I hear your pack has been continuously attacked by rogues..." Rogan asked even though the evidence of the war was quite obvious with Uthar's bruised skin and the rumble that was left of the pack due to the continuous attack. The whole pack was on fire and they were barely hanging on a thread.

Uthar chuckled dryly, he was an alpha king seeking help from another. He was not happy about it but he had no choice at the moment because for some reason rogues wouldn't let them be. These rogues were strange in the fact they didn't look sick and were twice as powerful, at this rate, the entire pack would be completely wiped off if nothing was done. Hence the ass licking...

"Yes, Half the pack is already dead, and the buildings have been reduced to nothing. These rogues are different from the usual ones we all know, stronger and more in tune with their bodies. I have tried to find out why they keep attacking my pack but I have found nothing. I couldn't even leave to visit you at your pack for fear of rogues attacking again, that's why I called you over instead" Uthar lamented bitterly. The two kings were currently in the tattered building that used to be the pack's house. It was the only building 'semi-standing' and that's where the remaining pack members also resided. Noise could be heard of children's cries and laughs, some women treating injured men, some cooking and others watching the children. They were making do with what they had left...

"Hmmm, so what can I do for you?" Rogan asked.

"We need help, a place for the pack to stay and more warriors to help us fight," Uthar said

"And what's to say that the rogues won't be angered by my help and attack my pack? I mean from what you said, these rogues are not just rogues..."

"Then what's to say that they won't attack your pack after mine has been wiped out? As far as these rogues are still in existence, they remain a threat to everyone. It's better to join hands and wipe them off now so they don't get even stronger" Uthar countered with a little gnashing of his teeth. He was frustrated and a little irritated that Rogan was playing hard to get.

"Hmmm, you are right about that," Rogan said with a thoughtful face. "This is a serious problem that I would have to think over. I wouldn't want to risk the safety of my pack by looking for trouble with those rogues when we aren't directly enemies. And at the same time, I wouldn't want my pack to suffer in the future because I failed to tackle the issue now" he added.

Alpha King Uthar cursed under his breath, it was clear that Rogan was having fun toying with him. It was said that Rogan was even more cruel and heartless than his father and now Uthar got to witness it firsthand.

"There is no time to think, my pack is on the verge of extinction," Alpha King Uthar said lowly. "What do you want? What can I give you in exchange for your help?" He asked, looking at Rogan dead in the eyes.

Rogan smirked at him, those were the words he wanted to hear, "Do you think you would be able to buy my help with your current condition?" he scorned.

Alpha King Uthar's hands folded into fists as he looked at Rogan with red eyes, "What do you want then?"

Suddenly there were approaching little footsteps, the two kings turned in the direction of the noise and a pretty little girl appeared. She was around five or six years old, she had beautiful green eyes and long auburn hair. Her pearly whites were on display as if she wasn't in the middle of the war.

"What are you doing here? Go and join the others quickly" Uthar scolded as soon as he saw her.

Her face dimmed down as soon as she heard Alpha King Uthar's voice. She bowed her head and said, "Alpha king uncle, commander said I should tell you that he has done as you said" Her little voice was as light as a feather but still audible to be heard by werewolves.

"Okay, you can leave now" Uthar waved her off without even looking at her. She turned around and scurried off immediately, the pressure of two alpha kings was too imposing. Uthar returned his focus to Rogan but he caught Rogan looking at the place where the departed little girl stood, absentmindedly.

Uthar's calculating steely grey eyes immediately flickered with a profound light, "Her name is Nina, she's my niece. Her parents died last week during the early attacks from the rogues..." He spoke up with a sly smile.

Rogan recovered himself and smiled, "She's an Omega, too weak..."

"But she's fresh and young, she will be a good breeder to raise your children seeing that you are yet to find your true mate" Uthar countered.

Alpha King Rogan was quiet as he thought about Uthar's offer. Something was strange about that little girl but he just couldn't place his finger on it, he felt the urge to take her away despite seeing her for the first time.

He always trusted his instincts no matter as it has never failed him so he looked up to Uthar and said with a striking smile, "I'll help you... you can pick an empty land from my territory to start over with your pack and as for the rogues, I'll deal with them if they come knocking"

"And in return?..." Uthar asked even though he had an inkling of Rogan's desire. He was pleased that he was able to get help from Rogan to save his pack for such minimal cost.

"In return, Nina is mine. I'll come for her when she turns eighteen" Rogan smirked.

Back to present

Nina gulped nervously as she made her way to the pack house where she would be meeting Alpha King Rogan. She was dressed beautifully like a princess but her mind was distant.

Her heart was in pain even though her much-awaited eighteenth birthday was here, all she could think of was her boring caged life with Alpha King Rogan.

If the unmated female wolves knew what she was thinking, they would definitely cough up blood in anger. They would all kill to be in her position but here she was still feeling miserable about it.

Forget about being the Luna, they would be willing to bear the Alpha's babies for free.

"You may go in, Alpha King Uthar is inside and Alpha King Rogan is on his way" Ms. Clara said with a smile at Nina as they arrived at the entrance of the hall.

Ms. Clara's kind attitude was in sharp contrast to the woman Nina had known for years as a wicked and heartless witch.

The other day, she mocked Nina and asked if she thought she was a queen but here she was now, treating Nina like a queen because of her affiliation with Alpha King Rogan. Nina was surprised by her two-faced character.

"Uhmm, Ms. Clara, I want to use the restroom first before going in," Nina said. She prayed in her mind that Ms. Clara wouldn't object.

"Sure sure, let me go with you" Ms Clara said with a beaming smile.

"No, don't worry. The restroom is just down there. You can go, you must be busy supervising the maids, I don't want to keep you" Nina dismissed her hastily while shading her too.

Ms Clara played a role in making her life miserable while growing up. She would make her do the hardest chores and would punish her twice as hard, Nina always wondered why the woman was so cruel towards her but she never found out why.

The other girls didn't make her feel any better because they bullied and treated her even worse than a maid. To them, Nina had no sympathy because they never helped her in any way and wouldn't hesitate to throw her under the bus in any situation.

She felt relieved to be out of their hair now and reach, now they would only look at her with jealousy if they were in her shoes.

"Oh...alright then," Ms Clara said, her ears a little red in shame. She left immediately and Nina pretended to head to the restroom but rushed to look around and make sure nobody was close by.

Nina lied about using the restroom, she wanted to run away from the pack. After thinking about it thoroughly, she decided that couldn't just accept her screwed fate, she would run away and start afresh.

After confirming that the coast was clear, Nina tried to call out her wolf; she would run faster if she shifted. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shift. That was one of the problems with Omegas, they were too weak to shift and their wolves were very unreliable.

"I guess I'll be running with legs then" Nina huffed to herself frustratedly. Since her first shift two years ago, she hasn't been able to shift no matter how much she tried. She didn't like how weak her body was.

Nina took off running as fast as she could, she avoided people and ran in the direction of the forest. She had no idea where she was going but her main priority now was making sure that Alpha King Rogan did not take her away.

After running for fifteen minutes, she breathed in relief to finally see the forest in sight. She couldn't help but light up in hope that her escape was going to be successful.

Just when she was a few meters away from the tall trees of the forest, she heard a fierce growl behind her that made her shiver. Her heart dropped in trepidation at the thought of being caught when her escape plan was so close to success.

She adamantly refused to look back to find the source of the growl, instead, she trudged on even faster, afraid that a second delay would deliver her into the hands of the person she was running from.

The growl got even louder and the source was gaining in on her but she didn't stop. Just when she was a step away from the seemingly enticing forest, she felt a jerk that pulled her to the ground, she fell with a thud and a huge jet-black wolf landed on her.

Nina let out a scream with her eyes sealed shut and thrashed wildly, but she couldn't budge, the wolf was too strong.

Cracking of bones could be heard and the wolf shifted to a man with an imposing figure, his hair was jet-black and fell just above his shoulders. His muscular body held Nina down effortlessly, it was like a mountain compared to a small wooden boat.

"Hello little reward, trying to run away from me?"

Nina's eyes opened unconsciously to meet the striking cobalt-blue eyes of Alpha King Rogan, her breath hitched to see such a handsome face with hypnotic eyes. She couldn't even control the word, "Mate" that fell off her lips as she stared at him.

Her eyes widened a second later in shock at the revelation. What kind of game was the moon goddess playing? The person Nina was running away from was the mate she had always dreamt of meeting.

She wished in her head that this would just turn out to be a bad dream but the feeling of the bond reminded her that it was real.

The cruelest Alpha in the region who didn't care about love and only wanted a breeder turned out to be Nina's mate, the one person who was supposed to love her with affection.

Nina didn't need anyone to tell her that she was doomed.
