Bullied by the alpha, mated to the Lycan

It was a cool winter morning in the emerald pack and eight year old Yvonne and her parents were in the kitchen preparing for the full moon festival that was celebrated every last full moon of the year. The full moon festival, was a day all the werewolves and lycans alike, celebrated the moon goddess, appreciating her for seeing them through another year, making sacrifices and asking her to guide them through the next year.

lt was Yvonne second favorite day of the year after her birthday, because her ever-busy father was always at home to celebrate with them while her mother would prepare delicious meals and buys her stunning clothes and shoes for the special occasion.

The full moon festival event is similar to what the humans celebrates every year as the new year's day event.

As mother and daughter paced around in the kitchen, they heard a series of strange and unusual sounds.

At first, her parents thought it was other wolves celebrating noisily or the Alpha was passing through the land as he usually does every festival day, but after a mindful listen, they discovered that it wasn't any of those.

"Honey, could you please go outside and see what is happening out there?" Yvonne father, Adolph Beeman asked her mother Jessie Beeman.

"Adolph, you should go yourself. As you can see, I'm busy," Jessie retorted.

"What's wrong Jess?" He asked, placing his hand on her shoulder and patting her.

"You never help around the house, even when you're here. Now Adolph, I can't leave what I'm doing, so you better go and see for yourself.

"I'm sorry babe, please... Okay just this once," he tickled her waist making her giggle.

"Fine, fine.. let me go and see for myself," She agreed. "But you will finish the preparation, including cleaning," She smirked.

"I will, your highness," he curtseyed with sarcasm.

"I hope Yvonne marries a better man that will take care of her and go out of his way to see that she's not stressed at all," Jessie said as she walked out of the kitchen.

Jessie peeped through the window to see that some rogue wolves were entering people's houses, destroying things and killing innocent wolves. She almost screamed when she saw they were coming towards her house.

"Adolph, take Yvonne and run, they are here to kill and destroy," Jessie screamed walking backwards with fear.

"Who are they?" Adolph ran out just in time to see one of the rogue wolves ripping out his wife's heart and pouring wolfsbane inside the empty space that once contained her heart.

"Please.. save... Save my baby, save my daughter... Please Adolph..." Jessie coughed blood out.

"Mummy!" Little Yvonne exclaimed as she saw what was happening to her mother.

Adolph carried his daughter and started running away through the back door and the wolf that killed his wife started running after them. He ran outside the house to the streets and the wolf was still after him.

It got close to them and pushed Adolph to the ground with his daughter. Adolph fell in his stomach, using his two hand to guide Yvonne's head in a bid to prevent her from getting injured.

The wolf was about to pounce on them, when they heard a gunshot. Adolph froze, thinking it was shot at him, but he turned carefully to see the wolf that just pushed him on the ground, blood gushing out if it's body as it returned slowly to it's human form.

Another wolf was coming for them, but was shot as well. The bullet came right on time to save Adolph and his daughter Yvonne. Then Adolph raised his head to see some of their pack warriors with guns killing the rogue wolves.

He hugged his daughter firmly, crying for his wife and wishing he never sent her to see what was happening outside.

"Daddy, let's go and carry mummy," Little Yvonne said to her crying father.

"I'm sorry Yvonne, I will protect you, I will love you and make sure you have the best life," Adolph promised his daughter. "I will make sure you don't marry a weak man like me, but someone that will love, cherish and protect you as much as I will do," he said between sobs.

"Daddy, I don't want to marry, I want to be with you and mummy forever," She cried.

Just then, they heard another gunshot, which made them lie still, quietly to avoid any stray bullet. Even when Yvonne tried to say something, her dad covered her mouth with his hand. The shooting continued till dusk.

Once Adolph was sure the commotion had died down, he took his daughter to the pack house, where he saw many other affected wolves and their family members complaining and begging the Alpha for help.

Soon the Alpha walked out of his Chambers wearing a long face to address his people. He too was looking hurt, sad and distressed.

The people thought he looked so because of what happened to them, but they were no where close to guessing his problems.

"I'm sorry about what happened earlier today, my good people, it was never my intention to see my people suffer." The Alpha said trying to console them.

The people started whispering and complaining among themselves. Soon the little whispers became murmuring and murmuring became loud cries and screams at the Alpha.

"I lost my wife to the attack too." The Alpha said and everywhere became silent as graveyard.

Who would believe that the Luna was killed by rogue wolves? It has never happened before, not in the history of werewolves. What did the Alpha do to provoke the anger of the goddess?

"I can assure you my people that the war is over, my able soldiers have defeated them and we are victorious. You can now go home my good people." The Alpha concluded and went back inside and the people started murmuring and complaining again.

Adolph quietly carried his daughter on his back, and went towards the exit of their pack, but the soldiers that manned the gate wouldn't allow them go.

He met many other werewolf families trying to run away from the pack, but were stopped by the armed soldiers. Claiming they were instructed from above not to allow anyone go out or come inside the pack without order from the young Alpha Storm until the next full moon festival.

After staying for a long time without getting a chance to leave, all the wolves and families that went to the pack exit started going back to their homes one after the other. Adolph also left with his daughter to their home, hoping they would be able to make it to the next day without getting attacked.

Adolph got home with his daughter when it was almost dawn and they met Jessie's heart beating faintly and her body was just starting to get cold.

If only he had gone home earlier, maybe they would have saved her, but it was too late as her heart beat it's last and her body became totally cold.

It was hard for little Yvonne who saw her mother die in front of her. She could neither sleep nor eat, as what happened to her mother kept replaying in her head. She kept seeing what happened to her mom in front of her.

Jessie Beeman was buried at noon the next day and so was everyone that died from the attack.

Yvonne couldn't believe she would never see her mother again, as they buried her in her presence. She cried her eyes out, begging them not to put her mother inside the ground and pour sand on her body, but that was exactly what happened.

From that day, Yvonne hated and detested the full moon festival, and started having nightmares about the death of her mother, but her dad promised to make her happy and forget her mom's death.

Adolph was only able to keep his promises to his daughter for about eleven months, as he was already married before the next full moon festival to a widow who also lost her husband in the attack.

Yvonne's father got married to a female wolf called Mabel. Mabel also had a daughter who was about same age as Yvonne named Hilda.

According to Adolph, he married Mabel to take care of Yvonne, because he felt she needed a mother figure in her life, but Yvonne got the exact opposite of what her father promised her.

Mabel's entrance to Adolph and Yvonne's life was the beginning of Yvonne's nightmare as she was maltreated and abused by her supposed mother figure.

~Yvonne~

"Yvonne where are you, where the fvck are you?" I heard my mate Alpha bark as he forcefully swung open the door to every room in the house.

At the sound of his voice, I was already trembling, because I know what he could and would do if I did not respond immediately to his calls. Fear enveloped me, like a child alone in a forbidden forest overwhelmed with panic by the howls of night.

I wanted to tell him I was in the bathroom of our bedroom, but I couldn't find my voice, my eyes darted around maniacally, looking for escape and my heart raced as though it would burst right through my chest, frightened, and disheveled.

I managed to tie the towel around my chest in an attempt to go to him, when the door to the bathroom swung abruptly, hitting hard across my cheekbone and I crashed violently against the tiles, intensifying the pains I had been inflicted.

"So you're here, you this good for nothing b!tch, and you allow me scream your name like an imbecile?" He yelled, making me cringe with anxiety.

"I- I'm not," I muttered weakly.

"Say whatever nonsense you have to say, before I lose it and I make you meet my fists," he threatened and I dared not test his patience a second longer because I knew he would do far worse than he had said.

"I can't say anything, I'm weak, too weak to talk and it's your fault. You should treat me like a human too. I'm woman, a woman who only wants be loved," I said within myself gazing at his blurry eyes with fear.

"I'm-I'm sorry... I'm sick," I managed to say.

"You're sick? And it didn't cross your mind that I needed to know? You want people thinking I'm maltreating you, is that it. You didn't tell me about your illness, so when you die, they'd say I killed you?" He growled at my face angrily.

"Of course you are maltreating me and if I die, you killed me. Would you have said something different? My spirit will hunt you and make sure you have no peace," I said but only in my head.

"No-I'm-I'm sorry my Alpha," I apologized.

"What if you're pregnant? Yes, you could be pregnant," he said as he hurled me from the ground with one hand. "Behave like a Luna that you are. You don't even know how to behave like a Luna," he hissed as he dragged me to the bedroom.

"I'm not a Luna, I don't want to be a Luna, I don't even know why I am here and how to get out of this mess my greedy father and his callous wife pushed me to at a tender age," I rebelled in my mind, but who am I to say it out?

I wanted to tell him I wasn't pregnant, but he wouldn't let me talk. He was bent on making me suffer.

As he was pulling me to the bedroom, my towel loosened. He pushed me to the bed without taking a second glance at my body. He went to the wardrobe and brought out a beautiful blue gown he bought for me at the last year festival.

"Put it on," he instructed, throwing it at my face.

I managed to stand up and wore the cloth for him. I turned to the standing mirror in our room to look at myself, but I couldn't recognize the person I was seeing. I had become less than a shadow of myself.

"Are you deliberately waiting for me to remind you to wear your makeup?" He screamed, slicing through my chain of thoughts.

I almost convulsed at the sound of his voice. I rushed to the dressing table and wore my makeup, just the way he likes it. When I was done he brought out a bottle of cologne and made me wear it.

I never liked the smell of that cologne, but he liked it, so I had no choice in the matter, I can't complain, could I? Who was I to complain?

"These heels will match," he said as he gave me his favorite shoes, the only pair I disliked the least. It was a pair of silver glassy shoes. My legs were hurting from the last time he pushed me, but I dared not say a word about it.

I wore them and he looked at me in pure contempt. He has always been like that, wanting me to look like I have the world at my beck and call whenever we were outside.

"Now let's go," he ordered and like a child following her father, I trotted behind him with my hurting legs without complaint. "Is that how you walk? Is that how a Luna walks?" He barked angrily.

"N-no my Alpha," I replied bowing humbly.

I'm not allowed to call him any other name apart from my Alpha, whenever we were in the house, but when we were outside or we have guests, I call him all the sweet names I can think of.

"We are going out, so you don't have to call me your Alpha. Call me your love, baby, sweetheart and all the sweet names you can remember. I don't have to remind you these things." He growled.

"Y-Yes my love."

"Better don't go out there and start stuttering like a half-twit," he said and I nodded.

Soon we were on our way to the hospital. We were both seated at the back seat of his limo while his personal driver was driving us.

When we got to the hospital, the doctor carried out some test on me and before long the results were ready. I was visibly shaking, hoping I would be pregnant so I'll be free from his torture and abuse.

We were at the pack doctor's office some moments after the test waiting for him when he arrived with an envelope, probably containing the results of my test.

"I'm sorry Alpha Storm Holmes, but your wife is not pregnant," he said with regret in his voice. Immediately my mate turned to me and gave me a stern look. "Why then did you lie to me that you were pregnant?" He asked and I bowed my head. "Thank you doctor," he said and they exchanged handshakes.

"Thank you doctor," I said and followed my mate out.

Our drive to the estate was quiet and uncomfortable. When we got home, we walked straight to the bedroom and I sat down on the bed immediately, as I was too weak to stand for one more second because I was feeling exhausted.

"You're not even productive. Three years, three good years, in fact almost four years and you are still not doing anything about your infertility. I blame myself for accepting garbage like you from your useless, worthless, godforsaken, pauper father and his good for nothing, greedy wife," he said and walked out of the room.

Actually, I couldn't blame him for insulting my father, he deserved whatever the Alpha said about him or does to him. My father gave me to him without thinking about how I felt and what will become of me.

My mom died when I was eight and within the space of one year, my dad married another woman, a wicked witch who made life unbearably miserable for me. I always wanted to run out of the house, but I had no means of escape.

I don't know how my dad became indebted to the late Alpha Holmes, but the Alpha left the money for him and told him to forget about paying it.

After he died and his son Storm took over, he started threatening my dad with death, if he doesn't pay the money.

My dad and his wife agreed to use me as a means of paying their debt since the Alpha didn't meet his fated mate and I hadn't met mine.

I was happy the Alpha was marrying me, so I couldn't at least leave my dad's house and all the suffering I was experiencing, but I never knew what was waiting ahead of me was worse than whatever I could imagine.

I was still lost in thought when I started feeling sharp pains in my heart, it felt like an arrow was pierced through it causing unusual electric shock. I was feeling painful pleasures like someone was thrusting in and out of me and ripping off my heart at the same time. Alpha Storm Holmes was having s3xual intercourse with one of his numerous girlfriends, as usual.

That wasn't the first time he was cheating on me. I supposed to have gotten used to it by now, but how can a living creature get used to pains?

I squeezed myself on the bed to cry, holding my chest the way I usually do whenever he did it. I was already expecting it because I wasn't pregnant.

The pains continued for about fifteen minutes and stopped. It soon started again. It went on and on and on until I was too weak to cry.

River my wolf was nowhere to be found as she was also too weak to do anything... I felt my head aching so badly, I felt my heart throbbing in my chest, I was feeling dizzy.... This time it was different, I felt my whole world crumbling before me in many pieces

I was still lost in my chain of thought when I felt weak and unable to remember anything around me. Soon I felt sleep taking over me and I drifted into Dreamland.

~Trace Marez~

"Awwnnn, please, don't stop," the girl I was making love to moaned.

I have stayed without drowning in the pleasures of a woman's body for about four years since I broke up with my ex fiancée, when I saw this luscious lady that caught my attention last night.

Outrightly entranced by her allure, I walked right up next to her and asked her to spend the night with me and she readily agreed.

Who could reject an opportunity to spend the night with the almighty Lycan king? I had waited like forever for my fated mate and she wasn't forthcoming so I decided to take a chosen mate.

While my ex fiancée and I were courting, I knew about the existence of my fated mate on the day of mother's memorial, but I couldn't meet her in person.

So I decided to end our five months old relationship hoping to meet my mate that never came and a year later, my ex fiancée was mated and married to another.

For a split second, I thought about how much had changed over the years and I feeling an ounce of gloom, like a ripple on the face of undeniably sweet sensation as I thrusted in and out of my one night stand ferociously as she moaned to the rhythm till I removed my member from her and fell on the bed but not before I had found relief, pumping harder into her until the condom ripped .

I have always been careful not to get just anyone pregnant, not even my ex fiancée. The only person that is permitted to have my kids is my mate.

I was about to fall asleep when my alarm started ringing. It was 5:30AM already. I rushed to the bathroom to get a quick wash, after which I gave my one night stand some money and left her in the hotel room.

"Morning Trace," a voice greeted as soon as I entered my room in the castle. It was Jared my beta waiting for me as usual. He always did that whenever I spent the night out.

Jared has been my friend from birth, although he was a year and three months older. We did everything together as kids and when we grew older, I became king after my dad's death and it wasn't strange for me to make him my beta even though he wasn't from a high-born family.

"Is that how people honor their king?" I grinned, a question I did always ask whenever he chose to behave funny.

"All hail the king," He joked, bowing sarcastically. "You will be considered a king when you find a Luna." He continued with mockery as he always did.

"I think I should punish you Jared," I said as I went to the bathroom.

Today is the popular werewolves' festival day and I am going to see my mom.

Mother died on a werewolves' festival day many years ago. She was brutally murdered by some rogue wolves and no one did anything about it.

The truth is, mom wanted me to go with her to the werewolves' kingdom after dad died, but I couldn't leave my throne and my people to live with those weak and powerless creatures.

No matter how hard I tried to convince mom not to go to the wolves, she wouldn't listen. If I had gone with her, she wouldn't have died because I would have destroyed those evil rouges.

Thinking about mom hurt a lot, but if I had followed her I would have lost my father's throne and I couldn't do that for anything.

After mom left for the werewolves' kingdom, Jared's mom became like a mother to me. She took care of me like I was hers. So every festival day, I visit her with loads of gifts after seeing and spending time with my mother.

I was distracted from my thoughts by Jared who opened the door to join me in the bathroom.

"You confuse me Jared I have to say. You go on about me being unable to find a mate but would rather bath with me than your mate," I teased him.

"You can say whatever, but I just hope you meet that unfortunate girl today. That's why I want to go with you to your mom's memorial so I will help you look for her," He said and I smiled inwardly.

I couldn't believe Jared remembered what I told him a few years ago. I know he had quite a retentive memory, but I didn't think this little piece of information was worth remembering to him and he didn't say anything about it all these while.

About four years ago, when I went to visit mom with my ex fiancée Lauren, I perceived the smell of fresh cherry and chocolate mixed with a whiff of lavender hanging in the air. I never thought it could be my mate until I my wolf Cory started jumping in my head. I rushed to follow the smell but as mysterious as it came, it was gone.

I perceived the same smell a year later, after I had broken up with Lauren and again lost her.

I have been wondering who the disappearing woman could be. But for the past two years, I had not perceived her pheromones again even when I went to see mom.

I guessed she also went there for a memorial both times I perceived her pheromones. But what could make her stop visiting someone she loves? A question that plagued my mind over the years.

Did she die? Did she get into an accident that disabled her? Is she angry with the person that died so much so that she stopped visiting?

"Hopefully Trace, you will perceive her pheromones today." Jared's prophesy distracted my thoughts again and I scoffed.

After bathing, I got dressed in my most expensive outfit. I wanted to look good for my mom and my mate as I was hopeful to see her today.

I wore an attractive perfume incase my pheromones were not attractive enough for her.

Jared also got dressed and soon we were on our way to see the woman that brought me to this world and my supposed fated mate.

"What if you don't meet her?" came Jared's distracting question.

"I'll wait till next year," I replied confidently without looking at him.

"You know you aren't getting any younger," Jared used one of his most said one-liner.

"I don't want to do anything I or any mate I choose will regret in the future," I snapped.

"Trace why are you so obsessed about finding your fated mate? I mean many other creatures don't have fated mates, yet they get married and are happy. Besides, you can easily choose a mate," came Jared's annoying opinion.

"My parents. Mom and Dad were never fated mates and you saw what happened to them right?" I asked, hoping he would let me have peace.

It really worked, as Jared couldn't find his words and the rest of the journey was quiet till we got to our destination.

Jared followed me as I walked straight to where mom was to say hi and tell her some things that has been happening.

"Hiya momma," Jared greeted mom the way he used to and kept a flower for her.

"Hey Mom," I also gave her a flower.

"Today is the werewolves' festival day. Hope you've been well? It's almost another year and I still haven't found the one. What do you think? Should I just mate and mark anyone?" I asked obviously confused.

"Yes. You should mate and mark anyone, there is nothing special about meeting and mating your fated mate," Jared replied, making me want to hit him. Then he added; "I'm actually talking from experience."

"Jared, I'm not joking," I said almost yelling.

"I'm sorry your highness." He said prostrating. "I didn't..."

"Jared, she's here, my mate is here." I brushed past him happily.

"Is my mate a human? Why can't she even perceive my pheromones? Even if she's human, she will still feel something, that's what I know about mating connection."

I rushed out, following the smell, but I was shocked to see Storm Holmes standing in front of me and before I could rush past him, the smell faded away at once and as I stared into the distance, I saw a moving car at a very ungodly speed.

I wanted to follow the car, but I wasn't sure if my mate was really in that car.

"Trace, follow the car, I think there might be something in there for us," Cory advised me.

I was about to follow the car when I felt a violent grip. I raised my head to see it was Storm. How dare he? I raised my hand to detach his head from his neck , ending him when Jared held my arm.

"Please please Trace, I'm sorry my king, don't," Jared said unmooring me from him.

" You said you'd help me find her and now she's gone," I screamed at Jared's face in a fit of rage.

"I'm sorry my king, I'm so sorry." He apologized, still trying to stop me from pouncing on Storm.

"Why did you stop me Storm?" I barked at his face.

"Long time no see brother." Storm drooled.
