CHAPTER ONE

~ROSELINE~

Yesterday was my 21st birthday, and today?.

It's the day my father gives me away to some stranger, who am I kidding?, he's pratically selling me off to one of the ruthless being alive, the Lycan king.

A week ago, it was announced that , the Lycan king came to pay a visit to the Rivers pack, my pack. Few days later, a rumor began to spread, that the Lycan king came to buy me, some said he came to marry me, whichever it is, I hope it's not true.

I haven't heard anything from my father, so I didn't believe it even when I could feel it was true.

My aunt had been in my father's chambers all night, probably asking for a way for that not to happen. It wasn't like life had been easy here anyways, being a princess is one good thing, being an omega is what spoils it. I was always getting insulted for my inability to spar or show incredible strength as the daughter of an alpha king, if not for the striking resemblance I have with the king, my mother would've been accused of giving birth to a bastard.

I took a look at my wall mirror for the last time.

"Princess Roseline, your presence is needed at the throne room, you're to dress appropriately as you'll be meeting an important guest" the palace messenger said after knocking twice on my door.

Few seconds later, Tiana, my childhood best friend rushed into my room panting before saying "thank goodness , I'm able to catch up with you, I've heard about that Lycan king and his evil nature, just in case you might need my help one-day, take this (she says as she imprints her were(wolf) bead into my shoulder.

"Thanks for this Tia" I said with a grateful heart.

"It's nothing girl, just be good" she said, brushing it off but I know how hard it must be for her, we pratically grew up together.

I took one last look at the room I've always inhabited since young, saying a silent goodbye, I turned on my heels but not before giving Tiana a farewell hug.

***********

"Why does she look like a starved rabbit?" A man who I presume to be the lycan king said with a raised eyebrow, standing behind him are two stoic-looking men.

"You're not here to insult my daughter, Alpha Darius, and you won't" my father said with his eyes color changing, his wolf was becoming agitated.

"Oh, easy there Gerald, it was only a joke" he said chuckling as he spoke.

"My Princess" my father said and he walked up to me, then continued "I'm sad to say this, but you have to go with him, " he said motioning to the Lycan king seated on the right hand of his throne, as I began to loose grip on my emotions, oh no, not here.

"But why?, do you also hate me? You feel disappointed that your only child is an omega, don't you?" I said, trying to get my words out as confident as possible. I've heard rumors about how the lycan king fed people to his dogs for minor offences, is this the man father is giving me away to?

"What a lovely daughter and father moment" the lycan king playfully chipped in and father ignores.

"How could I hate my only child?, besides it's only going to be for a while, Princess, look at me" he said as I looked at him and saw the sincerity in his eyes.

"But why? I never complained nor refused doing any odd jobs allocated to me in the omega's quarter, I've stayed out of trouble everytime" I questioned him, wondering why the only parent I have left wants to give me away this way.

"Dylan, are you still seriously going to let your only child go with that Lycan king?" My aunt said, echoing through the hall as she stepped into the throne room.

"I think I've had enough!" the lycan king bellowed as he rose to speak and the room became a bit darker. I think he's had enough of it.

"Pardon my reception, Alpha Darius" my father said bowing, making me wonder the Lycan King's value.

"You can meet me outside in five minutes after your little family reunion, Princess" he said and began to leave with his guards, then abruptly stopped to say "I do not permit lateness, not even a second", then disappeared among the halls.

"I'm sorry for you Dylan, see the kind of man you're letting her go with huh?" My aunt screamed in rage, then began to cry out loud.

"And you think I'm happy doing this?! It is for the best" he retorted back.

"Don't come running when this backfires" she said bitterly.

"It won't, I'll fix this Princess, I promise, I will" he said as he looked at me sadly.

"I'm sorry you're going through this baby, I really tried avoiding this even before it came to your hearing" my aunt said, giving me her signature puppy eyes, then continued "and you can please have this" she said placing a a wooden box in my palm, I was about to ask what, when she whispered "it is real gold, use it when in dire need, okay?, and attached to one of it is my fur, call me whenever you need me, you can only use it once." she said she gave me a kiss.

"Now it's time to go deal with those nosy servants" she said as she stormed away in the general kitchen direction.

"Goodbye Roseline, I'll come for you, I promise" my father said as I rushed down through the halls.

"You're 23 seconds late" the lycan king said looking up straight at me.

"Ermm, I'm sor...ry sir" I stammered trying to find the right words.

"You should be, now hop into the carriage, we have a long journey ahead" he said as he lit up his tobacco.

I did as he said when I noticed him heading to the second compartment.

"Am I meant to follow him?" I began to contemplate.

"No" he answered making me stunned.

" Did I say that loud?" I thought to myself.

"You didn't say it loud" he said again for the second time then he continued "don't bother troubling your brain, settle yourself in and relax well because it's going to be a long journey".

A bell suddenly dinged, the horses hoot and began moving. This was when reality dawned on me, I'm finally leaving my father's pack.

Wait, did he just read my mind?.

CHAPTER TWO

~ROSELINE~

Living in the Lycan's pack happened to be what I had initially imagined, more tasks to do, more stress, more of everything bad compared to my father's pack.

As soon as we arrived, I was led to the servants quarters and got informed that I'm to be serving the Lycan King personally.

I wondered if this is what my father called the best and if this is the actual reason I was bought from my father in the first place.

"Roseline!!!!, head over here now, it's almost time for your first serving" the kitchen head called out to me as I scrambled away to the kitchen.

"The Alpha demands double portion today, will you be able to serve it at once or you'd go twice?" She asked me

"I can serve it once, ma" I replied and she motioned to the enormous food platter on the kitchen counter which made me wonder how many people will be able to finish it, even my father and aunt Claire never requested for this much.

I picked it up firmly and started moving in direction of the royal dining hall, I heard a familiar voice chattering away alongside with the Alpha's own. The guards at the entrance opened up the enormous gate as I go inside with the tray in my palms.

"Good morning, Alpha, this is your morning meal, I hope you enjoy it" I said with my head bowed as I was trained three weeks ago.

"You can drop the food and leave, Roseline" he said and I do as instructed, but not before trying to take a peep at the familiar stranger.

"What are you trying to do?" He barked as I shakingly fix my eyes to the ground, I know that one important rule here is you don't look at the Lycan king unless you're a soldier or you're being permitted to.

"Don't be so hard on her, darling" the lady said.

"I'm sorry, sir" I struggled to let out.

"You should be, now scram!!!" he said and I do.

Stepping into the training ground which is usually peaceful at this time because the warriors must have just finished their training. I took a seat and began to feel my wolf stirring up for the first time in years. I don't know why the only thought that came to my mind is why the stranger I met felt so familiar.

"Hey, Omega" Pius, the only friend I've had since I've been in the Lycan pack yelled across the field . I flipped him off but then he ignored

it and came running to me.

"You little thing, you got no respect huh?" He said as he nudged me.

"I'm not in your mood today, Pius, let me be" I said with a straight face.

"Oh, really, my baby is finally growing up, I see, tell me baby, why are you mean to me today? Or do you need anything?, Food, money, gold, anything at all, you know I'm more than capable." he said while pouting playfully.

"What I want is for you to let me be" I rudely replied.

"Really?" he said, taking a seat beside me. I gave no response and he spoke up again.

"This isn't about me, I see, what's wrong?, Hmm, you know you can always talk to me right?" He said with a worried face.

"Do you know who the Alpha's guest is?" I asked and turned to face him.

"You should know warriors aren't allowed in the palace except in urgent situations, but do you want me to find out that for you?" He enquired.

"No, I don't want to stress you, it's not like it's important anyways" I said, shrugging it off.

"You see, as my friend, I'll tell you the first code of a warrior which is to never doubt your instincts, if you sense something, there is a probability that it is.." he said before I cut him off.

"Don't bother yourself for real, I don't know why I'm being like this anyways, probably it's one of my mood swings" I said trying to give an excuse.

"It's okay if you say so" he said with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Anyways I heard there's a letter in the mail box addressed to one Roseline Gerald, it has a royal stamp on it and you're the only one I know with that sweet name" he said making me pout at him, then I pause for a second realising a letter has actually been sent to me, I stood up and was about to about to run when Pius caught me.

"Not so fast, my darling, I'm sure you haven't eaten today and running like that to the post-office will drain you, that's if you get there without collapsing" he said in concern.

"I'll be fine" I replied.

"No, you won't, because you look so pale right now like you might faint anytime soon. He worriedly said.

I suddenly began to hyperventilate, sounds began to feel distant from my hearing, I felt as though I was crumbling inside and a whole new being was about to take over my body.

"Roseline! What's happening to you?" I faintly heard Pius saying. He began to shake me as I pulled away instinctively.

I tried speaking, but all that came out was a soft howl, my hands began to transform into paws and my bones began to crack.

"Oh goodness, you're experiencing your first shift" I heard Pius saying faintly as I felt his hands on my already transformed shoulder,and on impulse, whatever I was then, gripped his hand and flung him off.

"Oophhh,that's too much strength for an omega wolf" I heard Pius speak before seeing him in my new form.

I felt my thigh bone snap painfully and I let out a sharp cry which turned out to be a ground-shaking howl that made hundreds of soldiers run towards me.

"She's not a rogue!" Pius shouted and they contemplated for a moment.

"A wolf whose ears are white?, Never seen one in this pack" one of them countered him immediately and the other warriors click their gun while I staggered from exhaustion and try hard to stay conscious.

"Isn't that the Moon twins bearer?" another warrior asked.

"What do you mean by that?" The first warrior inquired.

"How dare you point guns at my personal maid?" The Alpha's voice echoed through the training ground as they all still and the cloud became darker.

As I began to loose my consciousness, I faintly saw the Alpha moving close to me with a dark smile before saying "You're the omega with the prophecy, aren't you?".

I tried answering but then, my vision got blurry and I'm met with darkness.
