* *Elisabeth POV* * I was already sleeping that fateful night when my phone chipped a couple of times waking me up, usually, I don't like it when I am been awaken suddenly so I took my time waking up, I used my hands to draw my phone to myself from the hand desk beside the bed, Then I saw it, my heart leaped out of my chest, I felt the pain in my lungs like it was about to break out, I was hurting all over my body, my veins boiling hot, I look down at the pictures in front of me again, not believing what I had just seen, I tried to push myself off from the bed, the sleep has completely gone fr
om my eyes and my system, I am now fully alert. I am hoping to myself there was a better explanation or that what I just saw was a joke or a trick even. This was the man that had promised me heaven on earth, promised to protect me from what my fate was holding against me when he became the Alpha, Alpha Adrian said he loved me, and he would make sure I don't get taken away as a slave and he going to claim me. He was in my hands looking all loved up and slamming his dick into someone he had always said was his friend. " She is my friend, nothing much. Don't worry yourself, there is nothing I want from her, it's business. That's all" he had replied repeatedly any time I wondered why he and Linda spend so much time together. So it's this what we call business now. I just could not get the image out of my head, it was giving me so much hurt, tears forming in my eyes but I refused to let it drop on my face. I picked myself up, and walked through the hallway to his study with my shaking legs that could nearly stand, I knew he was there, he said he was going to his study and he had told me to go to sleep, saying I don't need to wait up for him, he said that he would join me on my bed. As I made my way to his study, my heart was beating so fast I thought it would eventually burst out. He has done me so terribly wrong but I was contemplating if it was okay that I keep this a secret and pretend I do not know anything about it, and just wait until he claims me as his own and I won't need to get taken away as a slave to the Lycan king. He was supposed to be the ticket out of my unfortunate fate of mine. When he claims me as his own then I will be able to roam free, I would be his Luna, and I would rule next to him. I have always been helping him, when he came to me bringing all of his unresolved decisions or the hard ones, he would come to me for the possible solutions, I thought I was okay for him, I thought that would be all, the claiming ceremony was supposed to take place in just three days, as a Gamma, I would be happily claimed and marked and with that, I would own my claim to the pack. Maybe I should just forget about it for three days, I thought to myself, maybe I should ignore it for the next three days and get what I want. It was obvious that he didn't love me enough like had always said. Maybe he didn't even love me at all. As I moved closer to his study, I could hear some really devastating sounds coming from his study, I gripped my chest. The study was partially opened as if it was deliberately left open, Adrian never forgets to lock his door. I fought the urge to run back, I wanted to see it myself to be able to put myself in check! My legs were heavy as I carry them, I opened the door as slowly as my strength could carry me to the unworthy sight in from of me. How could he do this to me? Adrian was there standing behind Linda, that was on top of the now empty table, fucking her from behind, slamming deep inside her as if that was the only thing that mattered in the world. " Please don't stop " were the sounds coming from her and moaning nonstop, it pierced into my heart, and my veins were about to rip off now. None of them seem to have noticed I was there, they were so deep into their lust that they didn't bother to look up like they didn't even want to be disturbed, I covered my mouth with my hand so I could refrain from shouting, or even going forward to rip her head off, but it had not helped a bit, a whelp still came out involuntarily. I could see Adrian pause like he has felt a presence, but I was unable to move from the spot I stood in. " Why did you stop? That was so good " I could hear the slut say getting herself off the desk as if looking for a better position " Lisa!" his eyes went wide, reacting to seeing me there looking at their bottom naked bodies, at least they tried to put half of their clothes on. " Lisa! You should be in bed! What are you doing here? " To be honest, that was not the statement I was expecting at all, some part of me had thought he would be on his knees begging me to forgive him and that it would never happen again, a part of me thought he would put his head down in shame unable to look into my eyes. But that is not the case, the man in front of him was not feeling any remorse, rather he must have felt angry that he was disturbed, I could see it all over his face. I could see in the corner of my eyes that the ' friend ' was trying to put on some of her clothes that were scattered everywhere. Linda had been a friend to me too, she was a friend to my boyfriend first before she eventually became my friend, I told her so much about me, I told her even what I could not discuss with any other person, including Adrian. She was looking at me in the eyes now when was completely dressed, completely unashamed. " Is that what you are supposed to ask me ? " my emotions were betraying my voice. I wanted to sound as unbothered as I could be. " Explain this, " I said calmly, I thought if I was at least calm, maybe we could find the way out of this mess and the rest of the pack members would not need to know about this. " There is nothing for me to explain, I don't think I owe you an explanation right now, go back inside I will meet you there in your room " the audacity! Those words broke my heart into pieces, So I should go back inside so he could continue with his act of lust? I wanted to run out of the pack walls and never look back but my legs could not manage to move. As if she had been given enough morale, Linda walked up to me from where she had been standing " This is what you get for not being able to satisfy the Alpha! I only thought I should do it for you, you should be thanking me " I raised my hands up to give her a sounding slap but my hand was stopped by Adrian's mighty one. " How dare you try to slap her in front of me! Give me some respect! " He said dropping my arm with so much force. I could not stop the tears from flowing this time, I was been cheated upon and I was been humiliated at the same time, it's only so much a girl could take. " Adrian! You just told me an hour or so ago that you would meet me tonight in my room, but now you are here ramping into this slut's pussy! And the crazy thing about all this is that you are not feeling remorseful at all! Adrian look at me! " I said making sure that he could see the sadness in my eyes " You are hurting me, " I said holding onto my chest to describe the pain. I completely ignored the wh0re " Come to your room to do what exactly Lisa? I just stay laid down beside you all night doing nothing because you claim you are not ready yet, you torture me all through the night with your banging body but I cannot go beyond touching you and kissing you, what's the fun in that? " " But you agreed to this from the beginning, you know the craziness I had to go through as a born omega, discriminated against and treated poorly, you know how sensitive the topic of sex is to me. You knew this from the beginning. You are supposed to mark me in three days. Could you not wait !? You know I would be taken away as a slave if the ceremony does not hold " His face twitched, at first, I thought it was because he understood me and he was finally coming to terms with what he has done, but that was clearly not the reason. " That's exactly my point, Lisa, I don't want to mark you as my own anymore, you are just a lowly omega turned gamma. There is not much you can do for the pack " " What? " my eyes opened wide to the reality of what was happening. " Adrian! They will take me away! They will take me away as a slave to the Lycan King! The wicked one! Adrian, he could kill me. You said you will protect me! You said you will change my fate " " Well, That is not up to me anymore, you are the only one that can change your fate now " talk about finding out you are getting rejected three days before your marking ceremony! And about to be taken away as a slave.
*Elisabeth POV* Finally, I was able to find my way to my room, as I got there I let it all out! I didn't bother to even hold it in, I cried my eyes out. I was going to be doomed, disgraced, and a slave. This was not what I had in mind when he convinced me of staying close to his side one year ago when I found my mate. Adrian had convinced me to reject him, he said I was better by his side since he was in the next line to being the Alpha.
And yes genuinely it was preferable to be marked by an Alpha than to be mated to a gamma, then he had not found his mate and so it was natural to me that I had rejected my mate for him if I wanted to be marked by him. And everything had been good, he stated his reasons and at least half of the pack were okay with it, as long as he wanted it, they had said. The rest didn't support or reject it, they just didn't say anything about it, even the gamma title I got had been through him, since my father was a gamma and my mother an Omega, I was given the omega title from the beginning, I was born an omega and it was difficult to claim to be Gamma, they had said it was going to be difficult since one of my parents was the Gamma, well until Adrian came into the picture. Although I am an Omega by birth, I was given the Gamma title. Talk about being privileged. Thinking about all the love he had shown me, he is betraying me just when I needed him the most! When I least expected it. I was not sure if I heard correctly that Linda was his fated mate, or maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me. I had left the both of them there, to continue whatever they had started and I know that was what they are doing because why else would he not have followed me into my room at that moment when he has seen firsthand the kind of pain that was in my eyes. And he of all people knows how this affects my life so, I could not even confront him in his study about his mate and how I have foolishly rejected mine for him. I didn't want Linda to have another thing to mock me about, I was too ashamed. It doesn't matter if he had whispered it to her during their lust making about how foolish I was when it came to him, but it's better I don't find out. I could not take the look on her face, I had to leave, carrying myself as farther away from his study as possible. I looked at my bed, where I had the most amazing experience with him, he had held me so closely and warmly. He was always there to keep me safe, or so I thought. But it had all been torture to him. The torture he got tired of. It would not have pained me so much if I kept everything away from him and he just found out. But then that would be my fault. I have to plan my escape, I thought to myself, I have to get out of there before the next time the demand for Omega slaves. which was supposed to be just a week from now, given it was just four days after the planned marking ceremony, the plan had been so perfectly timed that I thought I would long claim and marked before the day the omegas would go and be slaves to the Lycan King, they always do that as a way of thanking him for protecting them and giving them amenities they needed. My title would mean nothing again, it had only mattered within the pack walls and the werewolves in them. But after all that, my title was irrelevant, it will not help me at all so I better run as far as my legs could carry me. But that too was almost impossible. Before morning, the other werewolves would have heard all that happened this night and I would have been covered in shame and monitored heavily. I cried some more to the reality that was now in front of me, I was alone, all alone in this world. With my parents gone, Adrian was the only one I felt I could call family, I could depend on, and then Linda. But they had both betrayed me like I was a piece of biscuit that they can manage to do away with. Thank God I have learned how to at least defend myself when it came to it, my father made sure I was skilled enough to do that, and he has told me countless times that I would need the lessons and that I should take them seriously. Thank God I did, if I manage to escape from the walls of the pack, I would be needing all the lessons I have learned to protect myself because then, it would be quite difficult to stay safe when everybody would be after you. But going outside there would be much better than the shame and disgrace I would face in the pack. I will only need to wait for only three more days since I have to wait for the ceremony to be declared not happening, it's too late to cancel now. It is said to always cancel at least one week before the date of any ceremony, that way it would not cause too much chaos. And since I know that after the declaration of rejection, people would not pay me much attention until when it was time to move to the Lycan King. They would not think much of me since then, I would be able to plan my escape. I won't be the future Luna anymore, someone else will. When I woke up the next morning, I found myself just where I had sat on the floor the night before, I must have been able to sleep after so much crying, I sat there still reliving the actions of last night, and I hope that it was just a dream. But it wasn't when the omega assigned to me came knocking to ask me if I was going to eat with the pack members or if I would like to eat in my room "They have been waiting for you " I could hear her say " The Alpha said I should ask you, Luna, if you want to eat with them or eat alone " Like I would be able to eat anything at all, but it seems like he was not bothered at all about what had taken place the night before, seeing the way he sent someone instead of showing his face to me. I thought. But it still felt good that they still called me Luna even though everybody knows I am not officially one yet, everyone has always believed that I was their future Luna, that was supposed to be it, the only thing that was supposed to remain was the ceremony. I am going to enjoy it for the next two days as much as I can possibly can, I would enjoy all the privilege that came with being the Luna. " Yes please I will like to have my meal here, I must have slept off too late to wake up this late. Tell everyone I am sorry I didn't show up early " " Okay Luna " As I was about to close my door once again, I saw a hand gripping the door from being closed. It was Linda " Lisa, you must still be enjoying the fact that you are being called the Luna, that position would become mine very soon " she looked down at her fingers rubbing them together, then added," I think in just two days, the same day as your supposed rejection, I will be your Luna, I will rule over you! And you will look at me with so much respect than you are doing now " She had deliberately come to anger me, I wanted to rip her head away from her body, I wanted to pounce on her and at least give her some scratches on her pretty face with some silver pins, so she could have a hard time healing. " Why did you do this to me? Just three days. . . No, two days and I would be legally married and marked by him, how could you do that to me, I did nothing wrong to you, I chose you as my friend . . . " " Hold it there, you didn't choose me as your friend, I grew close to you on purpose because I didn't want you to suspect anything " The declaration slapped me hard across the face. If She and Adrian have been friends since before we started seeing each other, then this whole affair must have been going on long before now. " Since when have you been having sex with my boyfriend? " I managed to ask, waiting for the answer. " He is not your boyfriend anymore if you have caught him with me, I only agreed not to say anything because you were so stupid you didn't see what was in front of you, but to answer your question it had been almost a year, maybe a year even " As I heard her speak, my legs gave way below me, I had to hold myself from giving her the pleasure of thinking she won. The whole affair has been in front of me this whole time and I didn't see it, was I the only one or have they really been so discreet? " So it was you then? It was you that sent me that message last night? " " Oh yes, I was beginning to get really bored of waiting while he doesn't do anything about it " " SO WHY DID HE HOLD ME CLOSE WHEN HE WAS WITH YOU THE WHOLE FREAKING TIME? " I screamed out of frustration. And that seemed to surprise her " Well because he wanted to use you to secure his title, if people saw him being kind to you a lowly Omega, it's a plus for him. I have told him to let us just tell everyone about what's going on so that they will all stop calling you their Luna, it bothers me. But he won't listen, he is saving you from the disgrace before the D-day " I wanted to slap her face, I wanted her to know the hurt she was causing me, but I stopped myself, it would only get me in trouble. The only gift I can give myself is not to add to my already troubled heart so I can leave the pack peacefully. It would only cause more eyes to be on me and I don't want that. She looked at me as it seemed that there were more things she wanted to say, the main reason she was in my room. Before she said it my head already thought it, so I started to shake my head as she said the words " I am expecting the Alpha heir, it is breading peacefully in my tummy. And it's not tainted blood like yours, his mum would is a beta, and his father is the Alpha. See if you can beat that " I didn't know what happened next, I could just see her holding her hand to her face, crying deeply. . . I had slapped her with my silver heels, how I got it, I didn't know but I had the satisfaction of my life in it. I will face the consequences later.
*Elisabeth POV* Crazy as it is, it happened just like I wanted her to have some defect on her face earlier, but now the consequences of my actions stare into my eyes and I couldn't run to hide, nowhere to hide. " You will regret this! " Linda threatened as she stormed off making her way to whatever place, maybe to report me.
I could have just held myself back! But what was I supposed to do when the devil was glaring at me in the face telling me with her full chest that she was pregnant with my boyfriend's baby? Someone whom I have sacrificed so much for, and loved with all my being without holding back! I might as well go all out. " bitch! I don't care one bit! Now run along, go call your master " I called back at her and I know that must have stung her because she turned to look at me for a second, eyes blazing. I enjoyed the look on her face, I knew she is definitely going to call everybody at the table to see what the crazy Luna has done to their new Luna, who also was carrying the heir to the Alpha. That registered in my brain again, she was carrying the heir, it would not end with just some warning or shouting, they will try to escalate this as much as they possibly can. I quickly used the opportunity to hold onto some money, money is always going to be useful anywhere and anytime, since I figured there was a higher chance that I would not be sleeping in my room that night, probably in the cave dungeon. I tried to think about how many people have survived that place to console myself. But I can't seem to think of one person, they had ended up being unable to handle the place and surrendered or they just die. The dungeons in our pack, are in the worst conditions and in extreme darkness, I would not wish on anyone including my enemy, I am scared of the dark, that's like the only real thing I can say I am scared off, well apart from the Lycan King whom nobody has ever truly seen before, a very old man with a big round belly he had been known with and who is always angry, and derives pleasure in killing slaves and making people suffer, so it has been said by people who have heard about him and served him " Hmmff ! I will choose the dungeon ten times over " I thought out loud to myself. It didn't take long for Adrian and his new puppy to come to my door, and it seems that they brought some omegas with them, it is settled then, I am going to one of the dungeons. It was a surprise that they come with the whole table. " How dare you Lisa? I warned you but you defiled me !! You went against my will " He said to me with an expression I have not seen before. " She shouldn't have come to meet me in the first place, she came here to insult me, did you not see what she did? " I said hoping he would recognize the pleading in my voice. " You gave her a mark on her face, you want to harm the baby in her tummy ?? " He said without realizing it. The omegas passed some looks between each other, so now they have finally gotten the information, it won't be long now when it will be passed to every ear that wants to listen. " See? See what you have made me do, I didn't want to say anything at all until the of the ceremony, I was going to protect the dignity " I could not help but laugh at that word dignity! " Dignity?? Don't joke with me! You did not care about my dignity from the start. If you did, you wouldn't have slept with her! You would not have started seeing her in the first place! Now she is fucking pregnant! You did this !! You caused this !!! You made things turn this way you son a bitch!! Do you know how many people know about your cheating? I am sure the majority of them know, they have just refused to say anything because of their fear of you !! You have stripped me of my dignity from the day you decided to go between her legs! " I finally finished panting. " How can you blame me for this Lisa?? " " Listen! Punish her now! You are still giving her time to explain! She is not denying that she didn't do that to me, see my face, I am not going to forget this, oh my gosh what if this leaves a scar !! She must be put in the dungeon " Linda whined putting salt on the already open wound. Adrian appeared to think about what he was going to decide for a minute. " Elisabeth Amani, did you or did you not inflict pain and cause harm to Linda Dowell and the pup inside of her? " He asked me looking straight into my eyes, and that scared me because I didn't see any compassion in his eyes. " I didn't cause harm to the baby inside her, I am not going to accept that claim " I protested, why would I? I didn't harm the baby. " I am going to ask you again " he paused and walked to me " Did you harm Linda Dowell? " " I might have " " I WANT A YES OR NO ANSWER " He used his Alpha voice on me !!! How dare he!! I could see with the side of my eye that Linda was smiling, she was enjoying this moment as much as I dreaded it. I could not move now, put in place and compelled to answer. " Yes . . . Yes . . . Yes, I did " I answered still compelled to a position. " So if you harm someone who is in a delicate position as carrying my heir, the heir to this pack did you not harm the baby " " Yes . . . Yes . . . I did " I repeated again, I managed to look at him, to let him see that he was hurting me, he had betrayed my love, and trust and now he was also betraying the respect I had for him. I didn't realize tears had built up in my eyes until they finally touched my cheeks. He turned away from me and made the most dreadful decision of my life . . . " No! Don't take her to the dungeon! " I tried to seek his face again. what does that mean? I thought to myself. " Take her to the light room with the slaves, she will be going with them to the Lycan King. " He solemnly states " No! No! Please No! Not the Lycan King! You cannot do this to me! Adrian! Please I beg of you! Don't do this " I plunged at him holding unto his legs, I was being humiliated in front of the omegas present there in my room but I didn't care, there was nothing left for me to hold on to, I dreaded the place where he had to sentence me to. He paused and then continued " And she is hereby stripped from her title as the Luna of the safe moon packs! ! ! Take her ! " " Adrian!! Adrian! Please don't ! Please! " I pleaded as they hauled me away! These omegas that I have helped one way or the other, the omegas that have respected me , now they were dragging me away as a prisoner. I would not blame them, they have been bound to do what the Alpha wants. I tried to look at him, but he was already looking at me as they dragged me away, He was not moved at all, and he didn't show any indications of care or guilt, I could not help but think to myself, Did he even love me at all? . . .
