At the valley of the Bloodmoon pack, there seemed to be a commotion, people were running and screaming.
A family of three who was indoors watched from the window in awe while covering their daughter's eyes.
"Bang!" Something fell on their rooftop and down inside their house.
"Argh!" Eighteen years old Whitney Cole screamed and quivered as she could perceive the smell of blood.
"Help me, please help," a young man covered in so much blood said softly like he was going to die at any second.
Anita Cole glanced at her husband Jeremy and shook her head in disapproval, 'we still have Whitney with us, this could be dangerous. We can't risk it, just ask him to leave' Anita Cole said to her husband through the mind link.
They were couples living in seclusion away from the troubles of the world, although they were staying in the Bloodmoon pack territory, they'd never get involved with the pack activities as they barely left the villa.
It was just like they were hiding away from the world or someone heinous.
'He is wounded and bleeding, we can't let him off the streets just like this, we're only going to help him and ask him to leave' Jeremy said to his wife through the mind link with pleading eyes.
Anita had no other choice than to nod in approval and move towards the man who was losing much blood.
They tended to his wood and laid him on the sofa while waiting for him to recover as he had lost his energy.
"Knock! Knock!" A heavy thudding was heard on the door, the couple stared at each and wondered who was knocking on their door this late.
"We don't welcome visitors at night, come back tomorrow" Jeremy Cole uttered through gritting teeth.
"We're searching for a man, we saw him go this way. Open the door and we will just look around and leave" an emotionless voice said from the door.
Meanwhile, Whitney who was standing in the corner crouched down and was biting her lips hard.
"What are we going to do? He is probably the man they're searching for. I think we should hand him in" Anita asserted, afraid that the people at the door were tyrants that would harm her family.
"Don't be mean Annie, he is wounded and would get into trouble if we allow him to leave with them" The Cole couple's sudden disagreement made the man lying on the sofa stand up with difficulty
He staggered towards them and bowed politely, "there is no need to fight, I'll leave you've already extended your help by treating my injury" he uttered and tried going towards the door but fell flat on his face.
"See! He can't even move, this is final. I'm not letting him leave this house" Jeremy asserted and helped the stranger to stand on his feet.
"We're running out of patience, let us in or we will break this door," the man who was standing at the door said with a smirk.
Anita who had no other choice than to comply with her husband sighed deeply, "send Whitney and him away" she nodded and suddenly used the power of teleportation to send Whitney and the stranger out of the house.
At the same time, the door was kicked open, revealing many angry men with killing intent.
"What do you want? We've never gotten involved with pack struggles, we're just a peaceful family and have caused no problem" Jeremy said, trying to reason with the intruders in his home.
"Search the whole house and bring me the man" the one that seemed like the leader uttered and his minions immediately began to search the house.
After searching for a while, they weren't able to find the person they were searching for, instead, they discovered traces of blood on the floor and some pieces of white clothing that were covered in blood.
The Cole couple were beaten and interrogated but they'd never disclosed the whereabouts of the man, this angered the group of men surrounding them.
Anita Cole and Jeremy Cole were tied together on a block of wood, they poured gasoline around the house, lit it on fire, and left afterward.
Meanwhile, at the shore of the black lake, Whitney stood on her feet feeling dizzy, "mum, dad" she yelled while looking around nervously.
Whitney rushed back to their villa but ended up being taken captive by the people from the Pearl Pack who also set Cole's apartment ablaze.
Whitney cried and struggled but the alpha men were maniacs who held her down and made her watch as their apartment burned to the ground with her parents in it.
"Where is he? Speak! Or you will end up like your pathetic parents" traumatized Whitney was dazed as her eyes were still glued to the house on fire.
The zeta who was the leader of the pearl pack warriors cast Whitney a lustful gaze and squatted down, "you're not going to speak huh?" He uttered and instantly tore Whitney's blouse revealing her delicate collarbone.
The zeta was intrigued that he went further to tore and tossed aside her blouse leaving Whitney with just her bra.
He was about to have his way with Whitney when a strong force kicked him away from her, "what the heck are you doing?" His cold voice rang through the cold valley.
"Alpha" they stuttered and stepped back.
Whitney curled up to her feet as droplets of tears fell on her cheek, she was wolfless and had no way to save herself.
However, she perceived a strong smell of spiced woods, leather, and powdery vanilla which fascinated her and eased her pain.
Whitney raised her head and locked eyes with the man who was also staring right back at her, "Mate!" She said with a clear voice which startled the pearl pack warriors.
Whitney was hopeful that her mate was here to save her from this dog that wanted to devour her.
However, Ashlyn White the Alpha of the pearl pack squatted to her level and tapped Whitney on the forehead.
"What did you just call me? You should sober up. What's your name?" he asked with a pissed voice that frightened Whitney.
She couldn't be wrong, she was certain that this man in front of her is her mate, why is he behaving like this?
"I'm Whitney Cole, your mate!" She said with assertion, Ashlyn stood up and clenched his fist.
"You Cole brat! Shut up or I'll strangle you, do you think you deserve to be my mate?" He chuckled as he said while glaring at Whitney.
"You don't deserve it! I, Ashlyn White the alpha of the pearl pack, reject you, Whitney Cole.
The daughter of Anita and Jeremy Cole" he asserted word for word.
Whitney felt a strong pull that was followed by a bone-shattering pain that pierced through her heart.
Ashlyn tossed his shirt on Whitney, "take her back to the pack and continue searching for him till dawn" Ashlyn barked orders to his men and strode to the Ashton Martin that was parked on the side of the road.
Meanwhile, Whitney was motionless as the pain of getting rejected was so powerful and painful that she felt numb and couldn't move her body.
At Pearl pack which is at the center of Wolfen city, with green hedges at every corner of the land, giving it a breath of nature, earth, and calmness.
Whitney Cole was despised and treated with disgust, news of her being the alpha's mate and yet rejected easily spread like wildfire in the pearl pack and this made her a tool of mockery as her rank in the pearl pack was brought down to a mere omega who is the pack slave and has to work without resting.
Whitney has always cursed the strange man that had barged into their home in the middle of the night, if not for him, she would still be living with her parents who adored her.
However, this is the cruelty of fate and she has embraced it and has adapted to life in the pearl pack.
Meanwhile, it has been two years since Whitney was brought to the pearl pack and Ashlyn White has not paid attention to her ever since he brought her to his pack.
Not until Whitney was chosen amongst the omegas that would bathe the alpha in a hot spring as he is to attend a special event.
Whitney's beauty fascinated him, and he instantly wanted to take her in the spring, "you stay! Others should leave" Ashlyn uttered with a cold distant voice.
"It seems like you've been living well these two years" Ashlyn mumbled as he checked Whitney out.
Speechless Whitney lowered her head as she had nothing to say to her ex-mate who rejected her in front of his warriors.
Ever since she was ruthlessly rejected and tossed away as a slave she has decided to stay alone without a mate and even pleads with the moon goddess to free her from the pain of mates and their rejection.
"Are you ignoring your alpha?" Ashlyn asked with a displeased voice and a raised brow.
"No, alpha Ashlyn. The pack members are nice and treat me as one of them" she responded, still lowering her head timidly.
Ashlyn scoffed and walked towards Whitney, "they treat you as one of them, why do I hear that you're a despised pig? Nobody wants you so get that in your head" Ashlyn asserted while gripping Whitney's jaw tightly.
Whitney felt a sting in her eyes but she would rather hurt herself than cry in front of Ashlyn who had no sympathy for her.
However, being ignored by Whitney enraged Ashlyn which made him tighten his grip on her jaw, "when I speak to you, don't just act mute. Respond! You piece of shit!" He asserted and shoved Whitney aside.
She landed on the cold white tiles with her butt which was painful, "yes alpha" she responded while gritting her teeth.
"Get lost! And start work at the alpha quarter from tomorrow" Ashlyn uttered with displeasure and walked into the hot spring which was large and had lots of rose petals in it.
Whitney's life changed from bad to worse as she was humiliated by Ashlyn at any given chance he had, he would make Whitney watch him fuck his sluts and ask him to wash them in the hot spring.
These opened up to more bullies as she became an easy target since the alpha treated her as less human.
Meanwhile, even while being treated as a slave, Whitney, who was beautiful with a slender waist and curves, attracted many men who were her admirers.
They sent her gifts, flowers, and many pieces of jewelry just to get her attention.
Ashlyn, hearing of this from his beta, Addison Hill was mad with anger that he stripped the he-wolves of their title and turned them into rogues.
"You love men a lot that you can't wait to hook up with lots of them" Ashlyn would say to Whitney before stripping off her slave's outfits and sending her to the ice lake as her punishment.
He despised and hated her but he punished her when he saw men around her, this confused Whitney a lot.
"Maybe it's because I'm wolfless and easy to bully, that's why he treats me like shit. Because he knows that I couldn't stand against him.
Well, how can I think of fighting Ashlyn White, a wolf with white fur that is powerful? He'd torn me into tiny bits" Whitney Cole said to herself while trembling in the ice lake.
Ashlyn's sudden change of personality made the pack members wonder if Whitney was special to him or just his mistress.
Although it was a mere rumor, the pack members were afraid to bully or get close to Whitney even when she tried to speak to her fellow omegas.
She was so lonely and miserable that she wished to join her parents, but recalling how they died, she shoved those thoughts aside and swore to avenge her parents who died horribly just to save a stranger who they didn't even know.
Monica, a girl that has always had eyes on Ashlyn made Whitney's life miserable with her friends who hated her for being Ashlyn's mate even after he had rejected her, they'd always find ways to make life unbearable for her.
The humiliation and bullying were too much for Whitney to bear so she started plotting to escape with the new friend she had made in the pack.
"Psst!" Whitney walked into the laundry room and made her usual remark which she used to communicate with Andrea, her new friend.
Meanwhile, Andrea frowned and walked to Whitney, and dragged her away from the laundry room.
"What are you doing here? I've told you severally that people who are of the same rank and also seen as an outcast of the pack cannot be seen together, leave now!" Andrea barked impatiently as people in the laundry room were already giving them a scornful gaze.
"Chill, let's escape from here together," Whitney said.
Andrea creased her brow, staring at Whitney like she had seen a clown.
"You must be sick, I bet that's why you came here at first. Leave! And don't involve me in your plans" Andrea asserted and pushed Whitney out of the wooden door.
Whitney sighed helplessly wondering when her friend would be able to accept her fate.
She walked through the lonely pathways as the omegas were not allowed to pass through the same route as the high-rank werewolves in the pack.
They took a lonely path that was filled with shrubs and grass hedges.
People hardly pass through here except for the omegas who work from morning till night without a break unless there is a special occasion.
"Bang!" Whitney slammed her head on something strong that she cursed inwardly.
She roamed her hand around the hard texture and frowned, "weird! This tree feels like a male chest" she uttered and stepped back but was stunned to see a familiar face staring at her with disgust.
"Alpha Ashlyn" she called with shock and dropped to the floor with a pale face.
"I don't know that you've become so shameless that you would throw yourself at me, why don't I send some men to you so they can satisfy your sexual needs? I think you must have been sex starved for so long" Ashlyn White asserted and nodded to his beta, Addison Hill who understood what Ashlyn was hinting at and dragged Whitney away ignoring her pleadings.
Whitney Cole was thrown into a hall with dim lights and was filled with people.
It was a club outside the pack and Ashlyn White is a member of the VIP.
Meanwhile, people were dancing, drinking, and screaming in excitement.
She turned around and couldn't find Lincoln who had pushed her to the club, it was like she had fallen into the hall from the sky.
She was lost and confused while gazing around the noisy place with loud music, this was her first time coming to a place like this as they had never left their small cottage in the Bloodmoon pack.
Whitney wanted to leave but she was blocked by a man with a perverted look.
He was with a messy bun, and tanned skin and was licking his lips, "hey beautiful, come and join us" the man said and tried to hold Whitney, at the same time a waiter with a tray of glass passed Whitney.
She instinctively grabbed a glass of champagne and threw it at the man's face.
The man stepped back and groaned angrily, "you bitch! You're just a lowly omega.
How dare you throw champagne at me?" The angry man tore Whitney's shirt and wiped his face with it while sniffing it continuously.
Whitney covered her unclad chest which was left with a bra and was filled with disgust.
"Don't act all innocent, everyone here knows you're the alphas whore but he still doesn't care about you.
I wonder how he used to take you, can you show me a few moves?" He tried to hold Whitney again but he fell to the ground after she had dodged him again.
"Hey! Grab that bitch and strip her!" The man ordered his men who rushed towards Whitney and tore her clothes and she was only left with her underpants.
"Ashlyn, are you sure you want to watch this?" Addison asked Ashlyn who was sitting in a private room watching the whole scene with interest.
He had arrived after Addison Hill had left Whitney in the dance hall where she was bothered by men.
Ashlyn White's face was cold with no emotion as he stared at the woman who was being pressed down by a man.
"You look so good, I bet that's why the alpha fancies you," the man said and was going to caress Whitney's face.
However, abruptly he was kicked to the ground that he broke one of his ribs, he gritted his teeth and turned to curse the person so bold to attack him.
He was stunned to see Ashlyn standing in front of him with fury in his eye, Ashlyn glanced at the little woman.
He draped her with his blazers, carried her off the ground, and left.
Whitney, who had fallen unconscious, recovered in a while and decided to escape from the hotel's window since this was located outside the pack.
