Alpha Kaden's second mate

The Sins of the Father

.

.

.

It is funny how life changes in a single second, one moment you are at the top, in rainbows and sunshine and the next day in a twinkle of an eye everything comes crashing down like a collapsed building, it would have been different if my misfortune were to have been cursed by my own hands but rather it wasn't, and it hurt to suffer because I was the spawn of the enemy, I was simply paying for a crime, I did not commit, the Sins of the father are passed on to the sons or rather in this case unto the daughter.

I once treasured the home that brought me peace and joy, the home of my birth, the home where I had all my memories, the home where I was among the people I belong, the home of my family, the home of my pack, my clan and now this home had become my personal prison, a cage where I have been cast into and a place where I was now treated like a piece of trash, less than a werewolf of my birthright, and less than a person, my pack members that once cherished me and treated me like a princess now treated me like a slave that was tainted with blood, an Omega of the lowest level in the pack's history.

All the household and maintenance burdens of the packmembers and the pack members now fell on me and only me, no help given, I was not allowed to receive help of any kind, it would be a taboo, not that anyone would even help me to even begin with. I Louisiana Reynolds the once cherished daughter of the Former Beta Darius Reynolds and daughter of RedSand Pack now an Omega, a slave, reduced to nothing and no one but a rotten pest of the pack with a stained blood, blood of evil.

I clearly remember the day my life turned upside down, it was the same day my father was killed, Darius Reynolds my father and the former beta of the pack had lost his mate, my mother Rita Reynolds who died at childbirth at exactly Three years ago from today. Usually it was rare for a werewolf to die during childbirth but my mother had always been weak, she had been born as a weak pup and it was only a miracle that she had been able to live up to the age that she lived which was age forty-five.

That day my father had lost his pup, and his mate, while I had lost my mother and my brother.

As a werewolf losing your mate was very excruciating and almost impossible to heal from but my father was strong, and at that time I commended his strength, the entire pack commended his strength as well, but we were all wrong, my father had only been good in hiding his pain when he was in front of people, because he was an authority in the pack, the Second in command of a pack that housed almost three hundred wolves , makes, females and children.

My father had fallen deep into his grief and I was in my own grief, mourning the loss of my mother not to have realized that my father would have been having it worse, I neglected him, his needs and I slowly watched him unknowingly slip into the state of madness until he had committed the greatest offense of all time in werewolves laws, my father had raped and brutally murdered another's mate and to make things worse, the female that had been murdered had been blessed with a pup but my father snatched that blessing away from fated mate, he ruined lives, he ruined the packs reputation and eventually ruined my life.

I remember the day, I was dragged to the square to be judged alongside my father, a spawn of the devil was the devil, that had been the words of my Alpha, Alpha Samuel, an Alpha that had once cherished me like a daughter, an Alpha that had once thought I would be mates to his son William when we turned eighteen had spat on him and treated me with disgust that day.

The most painful thing of all in our trial was that my father had died a madman, he had no idea of what he had done up until his death, even has his head had been ripped off from his body, he had no idea what he had done and he couldn't even recognize me as his daughter, as I wailed and dragged at the tragedy before me.

I remember the look on Alpha Kaden's face, the Alpha of Blood Sun pack, a pack that housed , up to a thousand werewolves , one of the most strongest pack in the world, the most feared Alpha in the region and sadly the mate of whom had been raped and killed by my own father, he was the one that ripped out his head and when he was done, he turned to face me, there was this redness in his face, this unquenchable anger deep in his eye balls and at that moment I knew I would be the next to feel his wrath, but I was wrong, he looked at me deep with hatred and disdain for longer than seconds, I could count before he transformed into his black beast wolf and dashed into the forest.

Where did everything go wrong how did a peace treaty visit turn into a bloody mess, my Alpha , Alpha Samuel as his own way to ease the burden damage that was brought on Blood Sun Pack for the loss of their Luna by publicly stripping me naked for the whole pack to see and flogged me with wolfs bane laced chains multiple times across my bare back that still today I c couldn't think to remember, the scars of the flogging still painted across my back like a disgraced animal. I remember the blood and me calling out for help, and Alpha Samuel had stripped me of my title as a Beta blood and downgraded to an Omega, the lowest of the lowest and an Omega, I shall remain still I die. I knew then that I would never have a mate, my mate would be quick to reject me if my past was ever known to him. I was now a damage good, a curse that slaved all day around Redsand pack.

I stared at the half moon, as I laid on the floor of the dungeon beneath the pack house of my pack, The sun would soon rise and my wolf itched for a run. It had been a while since I was able to transform actually it had been three years , since I had changed to my wolf form, since I had been condemned to a life as an omega and a pack slave, I had been fed little amount of wolfs bane to suppress my wolf and as a result I have not been able to feel my wolf properly and transform even if I had the opportunity to and it has also been three years I had been able to mind link my pack and them me , not that anyone would want to in the first place and I am sure that the reason for the loss of my mind link abilities would also be as a result of the wolfs bane as well as completely weakens me.

This dungeon has been my home since the tragedy, everybody at the break of dawn, I am released to the open to do my chores around the pack and when I was done, I would be escorted back by one of the pack guards whom doesn't spare any opportunity to manhandle and mistreat me at any given time.

I turn nineteen soon and I have been living this life of pain. There has not been a day throughout this three years I had dreamed and wished everything to be s dream as I slept at night but as the burning sun rays hit my skin each morning and I wake up to the cold dungeon floor reality sets in again, a bitter reality indeed.

"Hey!, Get up!" the guard snapped as the pulled open the gate of the dungeon forcefully, too forcefully as a matter of fact that my body jerked up in surprise. The bulk guard marched into the my dungeon walls with a suspicious smile on his face that brought shiver down my spine, I know then what is to come, his sickening smile widened, he derived pleasure from watching the fear that was to come from me "lie down!" He snapped and I gasped outwardly unable to control the panic that was rising within me

"Please" I begged, I know I shouldn't at this point, this had been a routine for a year now still I begged hoping that he would spare me but everything I was wrong and know this time, I would also be wrong.

"You beg every time " he laughed cynically before saying afterwards "Your tears brings me pleasure and he drags me forcefully pushing me to the ground as he immediately gets on top of me and raises up my beaten down dress to and my shorts to expose my feminine parts before unzipping his, my heart rises as the tears run down my cheeks and the pain of violation itches in my skin. The inserted his two fingers in my parts forcefully and I let out a scream. "Shut up or I will kill you!" he snapped and he realized his parts cupping it in his hands as he pumped his parts and drove violently into my parts groaning louder as hot tears ran down my cheeks. This has been a routine for the passed one year at least one time in a week and thrice at most , I know I should be thankful that he had not taken my virtue yet but he had definitely taken my purity and after some minutes or so of groaning and continuous pumping he brings his member to my face and releases himself on my cheeks and just like that piece of my dignity stripped from me and at that moment I solely desired the death he was so willing to give me earlier.

The Wolves Talk

.

.

.

"Look, I brought her in one piece as usual" the guard said with a sickening smirk on his face as he threw me across the room until I landed on the tiled floor of the pack house kitchen. I imagined how I looked laying helpless on the kitchen floor, drained of life and light but this people could care less how I looked or how I felt, they have made that known to me countless times over the past three years, it is strange how it takes the circumstances a person face to know how people really felt for them. Those who stay in the good times and in the bad times are your true friend.

How the Redsand were quick to turn against me in a twinkle of an eye though they were not the parties that were directly wrong baffled me at times, it was like they had a certain rage before the tragedy and that event had just triggered the chain reaction that set a timed bomb off and I was at the receiving end of that bomb's blast.

"Good Sean, you sure took your good damn time" The kitchen head, Vera spat as she stared at me in disgust, it was obvious she could still smell the guards discharge on me and her stare made me feel more disgusted with myself, if only I was privileged to at least have a good and nice bath, but all my privileges had been taken away from me, the day I lost everything as well as my dignity, or rather most of it, what was left was what I use to boost my strength in surviving each day without thinking of ending it all.

Though most of the times, I wished for death, deep inside me I don't, I want to live, I want to be alive and I want to be happy and deeper down inside me , I wanted a mate that would love unconditionally with all my flaws. The spirit of my parents lived inside me and I hear them urging me to be strong to not give up , regardless of my father's sin, I know he was a good man, a wonderful father and a great beta.

Sometimes I question the moon goddess, was this the purpose she had for me, was I not destined for happiness.

"Of course" Sean grinned and walked out of the kitchen but not without sparing me a sadistic glance as he eyed my body lustfully.

"Filthy whore!" Vera spat at me on the floor as she looked at me with pure hatred "You are just like your mother, a filthy whore she was a filthy whore you also are"

Vera held an extra hatred towards me, and I know the reason why, she had always had an affection for my father. My mother once told me that my father and Vera where once a couple before my father discovered his true mate.

Vera must have been devastated for the loss of lover though they were not destined by the moon goddess. Vera rejected her mate thinking my father would do the same but he didn't and even to today she remained unmated but not celibate. Vera was the real pack whore but she had always blamed her predicament on my father , she blamed him fervently for tricking her and making her lose her mate though she was entirely the own architect of her own misfortune. Though it was a misfortune on her part, my misfortune was greater than hers.

"Go clean yourself up you wench!, your stench is ruining my kitchen and my nose" Vera spat again as she dragged me from the kitchen floor into the staff bathroom before shutting the door behind me.

I was not allowed here on a regular basis, Vera would not allow it, but today I must have stunk really bad and I get to enjoy this privilege and I would grab the opportunity, I am well aware that Vera would not allow me take my time to properly take my bathe. So I immediately stripped out of my clothes, a little saddened that I would have no other choice but to put the dirty dress on after a clean bathe.

The cold water stream down my body from the shower and I take the opportunity to let the tears slip out of my eyes, as I thought of my life,my heart breaking life, I wanted to scream but I couldn't my throat wouldn't let it out, I felt like I was choking like a chord had been wrapped across my neck and it was tightening itself each passing seconds and more tears stream down my tears and the water from the shower washed it away. How I wished the water could also wash away my pain sorrows or even wash me out of this place to my freedom.

I knew the wish would not come to pass when I heard the loud bang against the bathroom door.

"Get out of there now!" I hear Vera shout angrily from the other side of the door.

I immediately jumped out of the shower without wiping my body and quickly put on my beaten down dress that I laid on the bathroom sink before I marched to open the bathroom door. "Here" Vera slapped the dress against my chest "wear it and get out now. I am doing you a favor this time. The Alpha would not be pleased if you had appeared like a trash before him while he entertained his guest"

"Serve the Alpha?, His guest?" I questioned confused , I was never allowed to serve him my duties had always been to clean the kitchen after every meal was prepared, I have never been allowed to venture into the pack house during meal times and walk alongside the pack members.

"Do not question me, Do as I say" Vera frowned, she waited for me to put on the dress , it wasn't the best , neither was it new but it would do perfectly, my former dress had already resembled a rag. This new dress would last for a while before another act of generosity falls on me again.

I finished putting on the dress and followed behind her

"Follow the other servants and act properly, any act of defiance would cause you everything and trust me, it would not be death, death would be a privilege, a gift and Redsand pack as no interest in gifting a tramp like you gifts" Vera scolded, I bowed my head down as I nodded in acknowledgement.

I warnings were of no need to me, I would never act out of turn, I wasn't strong enough and I have no allies. It would be to my disadvantage if I behaved stupidly and incur more wrath from the pack.

I stepped into the pack hall, where group gatherings and dinner took place with a cooler on my hand as I followed quietly behind the servants not uttering a single word. The pack hall was just as I remembered but this time it looked more beautiful, more modern, a lot has really changed in three years, the world had changed while I have been stuck in one position. In the past my family and I sat at the table at the right hand of the Alpha's table, those were the happy times, dining with my family and with my pack, those were memories I still cherished despite the harsh treatment I was getting from this pack members that had once called me sister, daughter and friend.

"Join in the serving, assist Tora in serving the Alpha's table" Vera instructed

I nodded in acknowledgement without uttering a single word, though my heart was frightened, I had not been able to set my eyes on the aloha directly for more than two years. He had forgotten about me left me at the hands of the wolves he commanded. I wondered if he would recognized me today, a part of me wanted him to , I wanted him to see the pain he had made me lived in for three years for being born to a guilty. Another part of me didn't want him to recognize me at all less he remembers the sins of the past and incur more wrath and judgement on me.

The wolves talk as I carry the tray of food to the Alpha's table. They realize my presence among them in the halls. They are surprised to see me, I have graced there presence in three years , they are surprised to see me serving with the servants today.

The whispers loudens as I approached the alpha's table and this time Alpha Samuel had noticed my presence but I kept my head down and avoided meeting his face.

I gaze fall on William, I don't feel a thing no attraction or pull then I am sure that I am not his mate , none of the wolves in the hall is my mate and I feel a certain relief.

William also stared at me , he had a frown on his face and his mouth was scrunched up like he wanted to say something or do something but something was holding him back.

William sister, Diana was seated beside her brother, she was once my best friend and as I looked into her eyes I could see sorrow radiating from her eye orbs, like she pitied me. I don't need it from her, not now not ever.

"Louisiana, you still live" the Alpha voice boomed across the silent halls, the wolves knows not to talk when the Alpha's speaks.

"Yes Alpha" I responded softly and firm my gaze rooted in the tiled floor of the halls, was he hoping I would be dead, he was the one that dumped me in the dungeons surely he made inquiries of his prisoners once in a while.

"Who is she?" The stranger beside him spoke, the power radiating from him told me that he was an Alpha. The visitor Vera spoke about.

"She is the daughter of my former beta. Beta Darius, the traitor" The Alpha announced ever loudly like as if reminding the pack of my stained identity, my heart broke and quivered as I reminded of my position

"The one who murdered Alpha's Kaden pregnant mate?" The strange Alpha asked

"Yes, a sad event it was" Alpha Samuel replied.

"And she lives, Alpha Kaden spared her life " the Alpha says surprised

"That puzzled me as well, but I assure you Alpha Leonard, she is paying for her sins properly" the Alpha responded, My sins !, My sins !, Was it my sin, I was innocent, I am still in I am still innocent.

"Of course" Alpha Leonard responded

This was madness, why do they see it fit to punish me, it was not my hands that was stained with blood, I look up slightly to stare at the Luna's face. She had been like a second mother to me all those years before the tragedy, she had consoled me when my mother passed and she held so much love in her eyes for me but this time I could only see indifference inside them. Was there really no one that is willing to help me, to stop the injustice done against me.

"You may leave" the Alpha commanded and with a bow, I carried my feet away from his table but as I left I stared at the table that was once occupied by my family, already occupied by another family, the once Gamma, Gamma Eric was now the new beta. A lone tear slipped out of my face as I departed from their presence back to the servers stand and thankfully Vera had no use of me in serving again unless I would have had to walk back to the tables I just passed in shame. Maybe this was all Vera's plan to remind me of where I belonged and it worked. I know my place.

I was sent back to the dungeons after I finished the day's work, after I finished with serving in the halls I was assigned to the cleaning of the kitchen which had been my normal job in the kitchen to begin with.

All the while I was doing my chores Vera had this joyful smile on her drawn across her slightly wrinkled face as she watched me slave away my bones, I was sure there and then that the whole serving fiasco was all her idea, her idea to make herself feel good and to make me feel the worst of myself than I already felt and sadly she had succeeded, watching them in that pack hall taught me a lot of lessons but the one that stuck out the most was that there lives were going perfectly well, all the pack members were living their best life, they were happy while I was living a life of suffering and torment. After I had finished with the kitchen, I proceeded with cleaning and moping of the pack house all by myself, the pack house was over three storey building with at least ten rooms in the each floors, this pack house provided shelter to newly transformed werewolves as well as the trainees for duty of a pack warrior and a guard and as the luck was never in my side, seventy percent of the wolves in the pack house were males while the remaining thirty percent were females that could care less about me, my own kind treating me like a plague. Werewolves as in their nature regularly feel the need to feel superior and to dominate it was in our nature, and this newly transformed males were still understanding their wolves and how to control their emotions. Their testosterones was on an increase and the need to dominate heightened like never before. Females usually feel something similar when we turned eighteen, were more emotional and fierce at the same, normally this was the time we found out mates and when the matebond is formed the wolves heightened feels are controlled. Every year a mating ceremony or mating dance is observed for those that turned eighteen to find their mates and also for those older that are yet to find their mates. Mates from all over the region journey to the pack where the mate dance would happen, it was a festival really, I had attended a few before when my life was still normal. Diana and I used to sneak out of the house to watch the event, the dancing, the drinking and the moments when wolves found each other, Diana and I hoped that one day we would both find our mate the same day when we turned eighteen. That was all a pipe dream now, Diana would have gotten her mate by now, I was not too observant at the pack balls but there was a likely chance that she was mated. The moon goddess was gracious enough not to pair us with mates that would be difficult or far from us to find, most wolves that don't mate at age eighteen is usually because their mates are not old enough or their mates had not attended the mating dance. So therefore after a wolf has attended the dance for more than three years , he or she is granted passage to journey to several packs to find their mates for a period of five years but most wolves don't take so long. I guess the moon goddess has chosen for me to not have a mate here in this pack or maybe she was also punishing me for my father's sin, well I will never know if I will forever remain down here, that will be a story for another day. Back to the main story of the present, the newly transformed exerting some of their dominance on me, as humans will liken this characters to bullies of their world. While I cleaned the floors, the wolves would kick and toss the buckets of water to give me extra work or some of them would purposely trip me over and spit on me , or give extra work though I was older than some of them. Each day, I slave away and further loss myself into the shadows of depression, hopelessness and helplessness. As I lay on the cold ground of the completely tired and drained after a hard Day's work, tears pooled down by eyes and ran down my cheeks into the cold ground and I whimpered in pain, until sleep over took me. "Rise and shine princess", Sean barged into my cell walls like the prince of the place. I immediately gathered myself and stood up abruptly. I held my head down as I awaited what was to come, my heart was racing like the vile business between Sean and I had not become a common experience. Sean burst out into a fit of laughter. "I can smell your fear, it turns me on. Too bad I would not be able to have my way today" "You wouldn't ?", I asked in a high tone startled at his declaration. "Wow!, You are not so innocent after all" Sean smirked. I lowered my head down regaining myself from my short outburst but my impatience grew as I await the reason why I would be spared from assault. "The Alpha needs you!". Sean declared and I felt the blood in my body drain out immediately. What had I done wrong?. Did I upset him in the dinning halls?. Several questions ran through my mind as I was through the well familiar hallway leading to the Alpha's office. **** The Alpha's office is just like I remember from the last time I set my foot into the four corners of the office. Diana and I spent a lot of times in this office playing around the entire place when we were younger until we get caught and each time we found a way to avoid punishment from both our fathers. A lone tear ran down my left cheek and before I could bring myself to wipe my cheeks the Alpha finally spoke saying "Anna, I hope you are doing well?" He said and immediately a shiver ran down my spine, my eyes almost popped out from my eyes socket, I did not know what frightened me more, the fact that he addressed me by a name he had called me when I was still someone of importance to him or him asking me if I was doing well. I almost burst out into tears but I had to hold myself back. I had to be strong, I might not have any position, dignity or standing but I had my will, I would not give him the satisfaction of breaking down just because he asked a question as if he truly cared about me "I am okay Alpha" the lies rolled out easily from my lips, he was the one that sentenced me to a life of agony. "My daughter has requested for your services" He said calmly. "My services?" I asked confused, "You are to become Diana's maid" He declared. "Ok Alpha" I responded bowing my head in submission. It is not like I would have a choice to object in the first place. But why would Diana request for me did she feel pity for me when she saw me at the dinning halls. Had my obvious misery made her realize my existence after three years she had shunned me might and refused to set her eyes at me. "You will have a room in her apartment and you are to see to her every need" Alpha Samuel instructed. "Thank you sir" I bowed "You have been given a little grace, my little freedom thanks to my daughter, I hope you will not defile this privilege and act out of line. Remember your place" Alpha Samuel warned and I nodding in acknowledgement. **** The softness of the bed brought serenity to my soul, I let my fingers run across the linens and the bed. Three years since I had the comfort of a bed. Three years since I have been able to touch a soft fabrics. The bed was not grande or queen like, it was small but it was a bed, a privilege, I have not had in a long time. I laid softly on the bed wrapping myself in a fetal position. My body quivered and I did not realize that I was crying until, I felt the wetness of the fabrics against my cheeks and that was my breaking point, I let the water run down uncontrollably as I groaned in pain and frustration. After few minutes of crying, I gathered myself from the bed , the tears stain painted on the bed spread. I finally had the opportunity to look round the room, it was a portable room , there was a small wardrobe opposite the bed and a small drawer besides the bed where a lamp was placed. The room was painted in mustard color and it held no design whatever. It was just a simple room but I was grateful to have finally been able to leave the dungeons maybe I do have Diana to thank for that, maybe she came too late but she was the reason why I was now able to enjoy a little comfort. A few floral dresses laid in the wardrobe along with some under garments , I ran my hand through the fabrics for few seconds before finally closing the wardrobe. I optioned for a bathe before I would be called for my duties and I peeled myself out of my clothes and into the bathroom. I let the water from the shower run down my hair to my entire body, as if washing away my pain and suffering. The Alpha was right, I have been given a little freedom, little, my thoughts wondered , I wished I had also been awarded the privilege to transform, though I barely felt my wolf because of the wolfsbane but a transformation would make me regain the connection, though the transformation would be excruciating, I was willing to go through with it to be able to feel like my complete self. But I knew that it was just wishful thinking, Diana had only managed to pull me out of my cage but I sure Alpha Samuel would not oblige her if she requested that I be allowed to transform like every other wolves in the pack. I was a Beta's daughter, the blood of a beta ran through my vein and it made me a stronger wolves like regular wolves. The risk would be high. I would be able to take down up to five regular wolves before I would be captured and this time, I would surely be sentenced to death and as cruel as my pack members has been to me , I would not harm them, I will not rip mates apart like my father did, I was not insane like he had been. I would not allow my family name die out so miserable and we would be forgotten like we never existed not that there was anything good to remember my family name for at the mean time. I know someday, I might be able to clear the stain and free my family from it's curse. I will live for my mother, I will live for my father and I will push on for myself.
