Taming The Paranoid Alpha

Nyla's POV:

The next Alpha of the Black Moon Pack would be announced in tonight's banquet. Since this was a very significant event, the Alphas of almost all packs came.

But no matter how big this event was, it had nothing to do with me. I couldn't be part of it. After all, I was just an Omega, the lowest member of a pack.

My only role was to help in the preparation for the banquet. Thus, I had been very busy since early morning until now.

It was such a long day, and I hadn't rested even for one second. I felt like every nerve in my body was already complaining. I was so exhausted that I massaged my sore arms and decided to find a quiet place to rest.

However, since the entire place was crowded with guests and servants, I had difficulty finding an empty room.

Finally, I found an unlit room. I knew it was empty, so I opened the door. But to my surprise, a black figure suddenly pounced on me as soon as I entered.

Ahhh! I screamed in fear and instinctively stepped back.

But the black figure didn't intend to give me a chance to escape at all. Before I could run away, his strong arms hugged me tightly. Then he pressed me onto the bed.

Although I was scared, I plucked up the courage to ask, "Who are you? What do you want to do to me?"

As I spoke, I struggled desperately. Fortunately, the pale moonlight seeped through the windows. I barely made out the face of the black figure.

It was... Killian Cohen!

But how could it be him? What was he doing in this room?

He was one of the sons of the current Alpha of the Black Moon Pack. And he was chosen as the next Alpha. He should be the center of attention at this banquet.

My mind was in a mess. I really didn't understand why he was here all of a sudden.

At this moment, I heard a ripping sound. Then I felt cold in the front of me. It turned out my chest was already exposed.

Killian tore off my clothes frantically. I noticed that his eyes had already turned red.

I screamed, "Don't touch me!"

Then I struggled to press his shoulders hard to push him away. But my strength was no match for him. And I didn't even have a wolf. How could I stop him?

Killian's movements became more and more impudent. His big hands raged all over my body, touching my private parts without hesitation.

I trembled in panic. At the thought that I would be raped tonight, fear overwhelmed my heart.

Suddenly, a strange, wonderful feeling surged from the bottom of my heart, replacing my fear. Then, an indescribable current seemed to have exploded in my brain.

Was it a mate bond?

It must be it!

I was so shocked by this realization that I even forgot to struggle.

Never in my wildest dreams had I thought I would meet my mate in this way. And my mate was actually Killian, a terrible man. I had a terrible mate.

The mate bond made me stop struggling and let him do what he wanted. I even followed his movements in a daze. My body couldn't help but indulge in his touch.

I felt that Killian's rough fingertips scratched my delicate skin, making me shudder.

But it seemed he was not satisfied yet. He picked up my legs and put them on his shoulders. I clearly felt that the heat inside me intensified. It swelled and got deeper.

Oohh...

A moan came out of my throat involuntarily.

Killian thrust even deeper.

Waves of pleasure climbed up from my tailbone, and my body constantly secreted obscene liquid. As he continued to thrust, the sound of our bodies colliding filled the small room.

His weight and movements made me feel sore in my waist and legs. I also felt dizzy, so I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck.

Killian's desire was not satisfied yet. He thrust deeper and deeper. I got even more exhausted. But I had no choice. I half-closed my eyes and raised my neck to bear it.

Everything around me went blurry. This feeling was so new to me that I was almost driven crazy by it. I couldn't help but open my mouth slightly and pant.

Killian leaned over and slid his tongue into my slightly opened lips, forcing me into a kiss.

As he tightly pressed his body against mine, his hand kneaded my sensitive breast. It gave me a wonderful feeling. It was so good that I couldn't help following his movements and rubbing my body against his.

I didn't know how long it had been. I couldn't even remember exactly how many times Killian had tortured me before he finally let me go. I was so exhausted that I immediately fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Killian lying next to me. There was no trace of craziness in him anymore. He seemed much quieter when he slept.

I stared at his tall and strong body, at a loss. I didn't know what to do.

The soreness all over my body and the mess on the bed confirmed that what I had experienced earlier was real. But if I had a choice, I would want it to be just a nightmare.

I lost my virginity for no reason. Although the person who had sex with me was my mate, I couldn't rest assured that he would take me. After all, I was just a lowly Omega. Killian, on the other hand, was the superior future Alpha. Would he recognize me as his mate?

I was confused and flustered at the same time.

How could this happen to me?

My eyes began to feel sore. Then tears streamed down my face uncontrollably, and they fell to the bed sheet.

At this moment, Killian woke up in a daze. He groaned in a low voice and rubbed his temples. It was as if he had a hangover. Then, he turned his head to my side, and his face suddenly darkened.

He shouted impatiently, "Will you stop crying? Why are you crying? Didn't you plan all this?"

I was so frightened by him that I looked at him in horror and stammered, "What... What do you mean?"

What did he mean I planned all this?

Did he think I liked what happened earlier? He raped me.

Killian sneered. He looked at me as if he was looking at a pile of trash.

Then he said disdainfully, "Nyla Higgins, you are nothing but a loser Omega who can't transform into a wolf even when you are already an adult. How dare you climb into my bed! Do you think you deserve to be my Luna?"

I looked at Killian in confusion. What the hell was he talking about?

I really didn't understand, so I retorted, "I didn't climb into your bed, and I never wanted to be your Luna."

Really, huh? And you expect me to believe your lies? Killian was so furious that he was on the verge of transforming into his wolf form. He looked terrifying.

Was he going to kill me?

I was definitely no match for him.

My body trembled uncontrollably. The pressure he emanated was so heavy that I couldn't move at all. Feeling desperate and hopeless, I closed my eyes and waited for my ending.

I might hit the headlines tomorrow as the first she-wolf torn apart by her mate.

But before Killian could do anything to me, I heard a loud bang. The door was smashed open from the outside.

Nyla's POV:

I turned my head and looked at the door. Panic already surged in my heart. And I was even more terrified when I saw a group of people rushing in aggressively.

I fumbled with my broken clothes and put them on in a hurry, trying to cover the marks on my body.

It turned out that this group of people was led by the current Alpha of the Black Moon Pack, Robbin Cohen.

He glared at Killian and cursed angrily, "Killian, you bastard! Do you know what you're doing? I wondered why you suddenly disappeared at the banquet. Who would have thought you were here messing with an Omega? You are a disgrace to our Black Moon Pack!"

While he was scolding Killian, I ducked my head awkwardly and curled up my body, hoping they wouldn't notice my presence.

But the next second, I was pulled out of bed by a great force that made me fall to the floor.

Then a heavy slap landed on my face with a crisp sound. I felt the burning pain. I didn't need to look in the mirror to know that my face was red and swollen.

You bitch!

The sharp curse almost pierced my eardrums. "How dare you seduce Killian! Shame on you!"

I raised my head and found it was Alyssa Ortiz who slapped me. She was the daughter of the Beta of the Black Moon Pack. Everyone in the pack considered her as the perfect match for Killian. At this moment, her face was distorted with anger.

I lowered my head again and covered my aching face with my hand. My ears were still buzzing from the slap. But I didn't dare to fight back at all.

She was so angry that she could kill me.

I looked at Killian stealthily. I was scared, but I still held a glimmer of hope in my heart.

I wished he would speak for me.

I was very much aware of my low status. But even if he didn't want to recognize me as his mate because I belonged to the lowest members of the pack, what happened last night was proof that I was his mate. Otherwise, why did he rape me?

But much to my dismay, Killian didn't even look at me. He was also in a rage. He said coldly, "Something was wrong with my wine last night. Someone must have put a drug in it."

His wine was drugged?

I was so stunned that I froze for a moment.

All the wine at the banquet was prepared by this bitch. She must have set you up, so she could climb into your bed, Alyssa said fiercely, pointing at me.

No, I... I didn't... I wanted to explain, but no one paid attention to me. Obviously, they didn't care about what I wanted to say.

Don't just blame it on the wine. Even if there was really something wrong with the wine, it was still your fault that you didn't notice it. You let yourself fall into the trap, Robbin said with a frown. "Killian, I want you to know that I am very disappointed in you. Not only as your father but also as the Alpha of our pack. It seems that I need to reconsider my successor."

After saying this, he turned around and left.

Killian didn't stop his father. He just turned and glared at me. His gaze was so sharp that I felt like it pierced my body. If only stares could kill, I would have died on the spot.

I was so frightened by his gaze that I kept retreating until my back was pressed against the cold wall. I had nowhere else to go, so I could only lower my head helplessly.

I waited for his punishment. I really thought he would beat me up.

But the next thing I heard was the sound of footsteps. I raised my head cautiously, only to see Killian's angry receding back.

He actually left just like that?

When Alyssa saw Killian leaving, she gave me a fiery glare and hurriedly followed him. Somehow, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I struggled to get up from the floor. The other werewolves didn't leave yet. They all watched me with disdain, pointing their fingers at me.

I ignored their disgusting mockery. These werewolves didn't know the real me, so I no longer cared about what they would say. I endured the pain, limped back to my room, and threw myself into the bathtub.

The blotchy marks were very visible on my naked body. I was so disgusted by them that I rubbed my skin vigorously. It was as if I could erase them this way.

I accidentally lost my virginity, my mate disliked me, and I was accused of setting Killian up. Whoever experienced this would really cry to death. This was what I felt right now. I wanted to cry regardless of anything.

But no matter what, life must go on. My mother was seriously ill in the hospital. She was still waiting for me, so I couldn't give up.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down. Then I got up from the bathtub, got dressed, and prepared to leave. But before I could go out, the door of my room was kicked open.

I turned around in horror, only to see Alyssa's angry face.

She shouted, "Catch this bitch!"

The werewolves behind her rushed inside, swarmed to me, and pressed me down to the floor.

I struggled hard to break free, but there were too many of them.

I could only scream, "What do you want from me?"

Alyssa looked at me condescendingly with disgust written all over her face. "I am just following the Alpha's order. You tricked the future Alpha into sleeping with you. You have committed a serious crime. We are here to drive you out of the pack. From now on, you and your mother are no longer members of the Black Moon Pack. Get out of here!"

Alyssa's words came like a bolt from the blue. How could they drive my mother and me out of the pack just like that?

I was so stunned that I froze for a while.

No, I couldn't let this happen. My mother was critically ill. She couldn't be taken out of the hospital. If we became rogues, she would die.

Who else could help us?

At this moment of despair, all I could think of was Killian. He was my mate and the Alpha's son. As long as he interceded and was willing to plead for me, my mother and I could stay in the pack.

At the thought of this, I raised my head and said, "Where is Killian? Take me to him. I have something important to tell him."

Seriously? After setting him up, you still have the nerve to see him? Do you really think you matter to him? Dream on! Alyssa sneered. She looked down at me and added, "It will never happen. Killian doesn't want to see you ever again. In fact, he wants you to disappear right away."

I was dumbfounded. For a moment, I couldn't think of a word to say.

Killian was my mate. We had proven it last night.

How could he be so cruel to me? How could he abandon me just like that?

There was no way he didn't sense our clear mate bond last night.

Or...

Could it be that he didn't want to admit that I was his mate because he despised my status as an Omega? And so he asked Robbin to kick me out of the pack to conceal this matter?

My mind was a mess, and I felt powerless. No matter how much I struggled, my efforts would be in vain.

I begged, "No. Please don't do this. Don't drive me out. You can't do this to me. Please, I need to stay."

But no one listened to my cries. I was still pulled to the door of the pack house.

At this moment, a car drove over.

I recognized it was Killian's car.

Nyla's POV:

My eyes lit up at once. I didn't know where my strength came from, but I managed to break free from the werewolves. Then I rushed to stop the car. The driver didn't slow down at all. I was scared, but I was determined not to retreat. I closed my eyes in fear and waited for the car to hit my body.

This was my last hope; I was willing to accept whatever might happen to me.

Then I heard the screeching of tires. I opened my eyes tremblingly and saw that the nose of the car was only a few inches from me.

At this moment, Killian got out of the car. He slowly walked to me while looking at me indifferently.

If we were driven out of the pack, my mother and I would become rogues. Killian was my only hope. He was the only one who could save us.

At the thought of this, I gritted my teeth and knelt down in front of him.

Mr. Cohen, I beg you. Please don't drive me out of the pack. I am willing to do anything. Just please spare me.

The ground was so hard that I felt pain in my knees. But I couldn't care less.

However, my begging was futile. It seemed I irritated Killian even more. He looked at me with anger in his eyes.

Nyla, before you set me up, you should have prepared yourself to bear my anger.

I wanted to retort. I never did such a thing. I was innocent.

I wanted to tell him all this. But how could I? Everyone thought I really did it. No one would believe me. And if I refuted, I would only annoy Killian more. I might lose my chance of being saved.

I held back my tears and continued to beg him, "Mr. Cohen, please. I really can't leave. My mother is seriously ill. She is in a critical condition in the hospital."

I hoped Killian would show mercy on me. But unfortunately, he didn't believe me at all.

Liar! he shouted. He looked at me disgustedly, turned around, and was about to leave. "You can kneel there all your life."

When I saw this, I was so anxious that I rushed forward and held his leg.

I grabbed his leg tightly. At this moment, I threw away my dignity.

Mr. Cohen, please! I beg you.

But no matter how hard I begged, Killian remained unmoved. He was really ruthless.

He bent down and pried my fingers away one by one. He looked very disgusted.

I was no match for him in terms of strength. After he successfully removed all my fingers, he pushed my shoulder hard.

Fuck off! he shouted.

He pushed me mercilessly, and I fell heavily on the ground.

Because of Killian's attitude toward me, the werewolves around despised me even more. They looked at me more ferociously and immediately ran over to throw me out. I watched Killian leave. My heart was filled with despair. Then I ran away as fast as I could.

I kept running until I reached the hospital. My mother had to know everything that happened.

As soon as I arrived at the hospital entrance, however, I saw a group of people pulling my mother out.

Mom!

I screamed hysterically, rushed to my mother crazily, and held her in my arms. Then, I raised my head and questioned the people of the hospital.

Why are you driving her out? Can't you see she's ill?

They looked at me disgustedly. One of them replied coldly, "This is the Black Moon Pack's hospital. We don't accept rogues here."

I seethed with anger upon hearing this. How could they do this to us?

My mother was a patient. Could they just abandon a patient because of identity?

I wanted to fight against them to defend my mother. But she gently pulled my sleeve and said in a low voice, "Nyla, forget it. Don't argue with them anymore."

I lowered my head and looked at my mother's pale and weak appearance. My tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Mom, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I felt so weak that I collapsed to the ground with my mother in my arms. My tears couldn't stop from falling, blurring my vision. Endless regret and self-blame filled my heart. I was so overwhelmed by sorrow that I couldn't even complete a sentence.

Mom, this is all my fault. I'm too useless. I... I really don't know what to do... Mom...

I cried even harder, hoping I could pour out the heavy feeling in my heart.

My mother brought me up alone. Although we didn't live a good life, she gave me all the love and care every child could ever wish for. But now, I couldn't do anything to save her. I could only watch her dying in my arms.

Watching her slowly lose her breath was the most heartbreaking thing for me.

My mother comforted me in a weak voice, "It's all right. My illness is hard to cure, anyway. So, it's for the best..."

My heart ached even more. Despite her condition, she still managed to comfort me. I was too sad to say anything.

At this moment, my mother raised her hand with difficulty. I held it in a daze.

Then I saw her spread out her hand. On her palm was a ring, inlaid with a crescent-shaped diamond. Judging from its appearance, it looked very valuable.

She said in a much weaker voice, "Nyla, this ring was left by your ancestors. Keep it well. Live well..."

After saying this, she slowly closed her eyes.

Mom! Mom!

I called out desperately. But she was not responding anymore.

Her body gradually turned cold. I held her face tightly and pressed my forehead against hers while tears kept flowing down my face.

My mother was my only family in this world. But she already left me. I wouldn't be seeing her anymore.

The hospital didn't accept dead bodies of rouges as well. So, I had no choice but to take my mother away. I carried her on my back and walked for a long time until I finally found a quiet and remote place where I could bury her.

Now that I was a rogue, I could no longer live in the pack. I had no choice but to wander around. But I didn't have much money on me. Soon, I didn't have anything to support me.

But I didn't care at all. Now that my mother was gone, my life was meaningless. I didn't mind dying anywhere, either.

I didn't know how long I had been wandering until one day, I suddenly felt an irresistible nausea. My stomach churned so uncontrollably that I couldn't help but lean against the wall and vomit.

Such a strange feeling went on for several days. Then suddenly, I realized an incomparably absurd fact.

Could it be that... I was pregnant?
