Conan's POV
"What the hell?" I bawled out, with irritation visibly in my voice as I cleaned off the imaginary specks of dust I assumed had come on my chest from someone bumping into me.
A groan escaped my lips as I squeezed my eyes shut, the body that bumped into me made a thud and a rustling sound on the dried leaves that covered the ground.
My inner wolf, Lexi, growled as she bumped into me.
I had felt this feeling of ecstasy and overwhelming joy on sensing my mate from afar. My heart beat increased rapidly as my inner wolf growled further, one thing I knew was that she was here. My mate was here!
I flicked my eyes open and darted my eyes to the petite figure lying on the ground, to the one that made my heart beat so rapidly. As if it never happened, the excitement that I felt inside of me disappeared immediately.
I ran my eyes through the dainty figure that was struggling to get on her feet, she seemed to be in immense pain as she growled while standing up.
Her obsidian hair tumbled over her shoulders with some dried leaves hinged to her tousled hair, she had a burnished complexion and her face were covered with acne. Her lips were irritatingly dried and she looked like a mess. Her looking like a mess was an understatement, she was totally a mess.
Suddenly, I felt a sudden surge of anger that rushed through my skin.
"The moon goddess must be joking," I thought, "How would this lowlife be my mate?"
Her eyes were filled with so much agony as she stood up on her feet. My eyes met hers, there were sparkles in her eyes and my heart skipped as her reddened eyes pierced into mine.
"She's your mate, finally! You have met your mate" Lex leapt for joy, budging me to take her inside my arms but, hell no! I can't even stand the sight of her.
"How dare you!" I growled, causing her to flinch at the sound of my hoarse voice.
From the mere sight of her, I knew that she was an Omega and most importantly a slave! Why would the moon goddess curse me with a slave when I was an Alpha and the strongest in the pack?
"I am Sorry" I heard her say, jolting me back from my thoughts. A faint smile creased on her face but it disappeared like it never appeared when she noticed the cold expression on my face.
I cocked my brow to the left and watched as she lowered her head in fright, I really needed to know what gave her the impression that she could smile at me.
"You! Were you blind, couldn't you see where you were going? How dare you bump into me with such a filthy body?" I roared till my voice came back as echoes in my ear and watched as she quivered in fear.
Interestingly, I enjoyed every bit of it, I enjoyed how I was able to instill fear in this timid girl.
The more I enjoyed picking on this girl, the more Lex protested inside of me.
"What are you doing? She is your mate!" Lex growled continuously. I pushed him to the back of my mind to be able to concentrate.
There was no way I was going to listen to his rants, and happily accept someone I could not even present to the public, as my mate.
"I am really sorry," She stuttered with tears welling up in her eyes, "I only felt this pain that took control of me, and I was trying to get help. It is only now that I realized that it was my wolf."
Dropping her head low, as she could not stand my gaze,
"I think you are my mate. My wolf..." She stopped, leaving her voice to trail off, while I watched with bitterness inside of me.
I felt a sudden wave of anger rush through me on hearing that single statement that fell out her mouth. I grasped her by the arm and raised her chin with my finger, causing her to stare at me right in the eyes. She had so much pain in her eyes but I didn't care. My aim was to set things straight with her that was my only aim.
Her eyes glistened with tears as I tightened my grip around her arm. "Listen to me carefully, you are not my mate and can never be my mate! Get those crazy thoughts out of your head. You are nothing but a slave and a weakling that I would not even eat from a plate that you have touched."
The anger in me rose so much, that I had no idea that I still had my hands around her arm.
My claw was not out, as the last thing Lex wanted to do was to hurt her. But with my sharp fingers that were piercing her skin, I was already sure bruises had formed on her skin.
"You are a slave," I repeated, trying to make sure she gets the message, "that is exactly what you are."
I released my tight grip around her arm as she winced in pain with tears trickling down her face. I took a final glance at her pathetic face and gazed at the bright sparks from the firecrackers that glittered in the sky.
"That must be my woman, with the rest of the pack," I said with a muffled voice.
When Lex growled inside of me, I thought she was the one. Even though her scent seemed unfamiliar, I fervently prayed inside of me that she was one, I hoped that it was Claire.
Without sparing the weakling that stood in front of me a glance, I disappeared into the woods and walked towards where the firecrackers emanated from.
"You could have treated her better! She's the one the moon goddess chose for you, How could you do this to her", Lex yelled angrily at me.
I hated the fact that he was standing up for that slave, for someone he just met. Lex had always disapproved of my relationship with Claire from the beginning, we were always at conflict, concerning my relationship with her.
"Can you listen to yourself Lex? How can you say that she's the one for me, An Omega, a slave” I scowled just at the mere thought of her being my mate.
Lex was driving me crazy with how he kept reminding me about that girl, I clenched my fist and threw a punch into the air. It was the only way that I could vent my anger, if that girl was right in front of me, the punch would have landed on her face.
I gritted my teeth in frustration, trying to disperse Lex's howling sound. I clenched my fist by my side, slowly and gradually, all the anger inside of me vanished as I spotted Claire dancing alongside her friends.
A bright smile formed on her face on seeing me and she threw herself into my arms while wrapping her arms tightly around me. She slowly drew herself out of my embrace while I pulled her back in, tightening my grip around her to reassure myself that she was the only one for me, my only mate.
"I feel like I might suffocate" She said in muffled words, while I let out a soft chuckle.
I loosened my grip around her and cupped her face into my hands, staring into her glucose eyes that shone like the brightest and rarest emerald to ever exist. "How could the moon goddess not choose this beautiful woman as my mate" I thought inwardly.
Claire seemed to notice the uneasiness in my eyes and mouthed "What's wrong, uh?"
I shook my head and planted a kiss on her forehead, I just wanted her and no one else.
"Lisa, where have you been?" I heard Aniella say.
I tilted my head towards Aniella's direction, my brows furrowed on seeing who Aniella was addressing. It was that same girl that I had left earlier at the woods and good lord, her name was Lisa! Whoever gave such a royal name to that fragile looking girl needed to be dealt with, severely.The mere sight of her caused Lex to growl and ache to be with her, but that would never happen because I cannot imagine being seen with an omega. Omegas are weaklings and slaves that should be trampled on, and it pained me the more that the moon goddess did not put those things into consideration.Lisa narrowed her gaze towards me and as her eyes met mine, Lex growled as if it was about to let loose. I took my gaze off her and darted my eyes to Claire who glanced back and forth at Lisa and I."You stupid bitch, I thought I told you to have some dignity and try not to show your face here but unabashedly, you came here" Claire yelled at her and I couldn't feel any less proud of her."Claire what's wron
Lisa's POV"Conan, please... Harder," I heard Claire say, and I wanted to cry my eyes out.His tongue played with her nipple that I even began to feel the intense desires rush through me. He should have been inside of me, and not her.I wanted the warmth his body offered, but it was not any close to what I was getting.Instead I was left alone, with tears flowing out from my eyes in the cold night, and shivers all over me. It was the eve of my birthday, and I was feeling drained and tired of my life already, as the seconds ticked by.Hot moans escaped from her lips, while Conan kept on thrusting with finesse.My heart was wallowing in pain. Even if Conan hates me, all of it was just too much. And for Claire, I felt that she could have the least shame as I was there in the room.I watched her pupils get dilated, from the intense thrusting, which caused another streak of tears to roll down my eyes.I was so overwhelmed with emotions, that even my sight became blurry as I had my gaze fix
Everything about my life has been filled with extreme pain since the day I was brought into the world. I was brought up in an orphanage home and was later taken as a slave for the pack.Amidst my brooding, I didn't know when a scoff that sounded rebellious, fell out my lips.A deafening silence enveloped the room and the only sound that I could hear was the ticking sound from the clock.I slowly raised my head up and inhaled a shuddering breath. I locked eyes with Conan for a moment and I could see the hatred and anger plastered on his face. Oh! He must have thought that I scoffed at him."Did you just scoff at us?" I heard him ask as he leapt up and strode across me.Words failed me at that moment. How was I supposed to tell him that I didn't intend to scoff at him, but at my pathetic life and misfortune?I squirmed on the bare floor as he approached me, walking in a tiger-like tread, my heart froze as my mind was over clouded with fear. I ducked my face, staring at my feet in order
Lisa's POV I had gotten so carried away with feeling so relaxed to not have realized he had just suddenly barged into the laundry room. The day surely was going by like every normal day, up until he walked in. “Didn't you hear what I said?” he asked, now sounding more upset than when he entered. “Don't just stand there dawdling!!” he yelled. “Come here this minute!!” he added. I suddenly wondered why he wanted me standing right next to him. And the minute I got close, my wolf suddenly yelled. I could feel my whole body suddenly in need of his touch as he stared into my eyes. The scent I got coming from him was something my whole body craved to have a taste of. But I couldn't, and that made my wolf so sad. He held on to my face as he kept on sniffing me. I wondered why he did that as we were all alone in the laundry room. And was praying so hard not to be seen by Claire. The scent grew stronger and stronger as he drew me close to himself. And then I couldn't help it, I ha
Lisa’s POV“Why would you even give me such a dare?” Conan asked, standing up to his feet, as he walked up to me.He stared down at me, who was suddenly having difficulty breathing.My whole body was in pain, yet I could feel my wolf so energetic from within myself.I looked up realizing he had gotten close to where I knelt with my head lowered to the ground.That makes better sense now… I thought to myself.Having me at a close range around me, made my wolf so energetic as it craved so bad to have him touch me.He held on to my face, lifting it up and staring into my eyes.“I can work with keeping her for now” he said, looking at me with disgusted eyes.I guess he had felt irritated with the acne on my face and unkempt self.“But, she will have to be in the cell with the other slaves,” he said.“I don't want her anywhere too close to me,” he added.I felt so hurt hearing him talk about not wanting me around him.At the mention of that, tears that had been welled up in my eyes for a w
*LISA* The silence broke as I mutely prayed to the moon that he wouldn't blow my cover. Even though Alpha Conan disrespected his self-absorbed lady, it won't come as a surprise to me because I've only known him for a short while and I know he will go to any length to make me suffer. "Ignore it," His tone was harsh. “You cannot pull a fast one on me, what compromised state?" She maintained so she walked to stand between us. “After taking a shower, I enter the room butt naked, and there she was with wide eyes." He replied. Without holding back or even telling a white lie. Such a dumb person for a mate. I thought silently. "To be clear, what was she doing in your room?" Claire's voice reeks of resentment and hatred. "What chores does a slave perform around the house?" Conan seemed disinterested as he took a sip from his beverage. "I requested her to organize my closet, but she took an eternity to do it.” If he couldn't tell a clever white lie, can he at least be honest, my tho
*CONAN* I didn't wait to shut the door before Claire entered. I poured myself a shot of my strongest booze from the minibar in my room's lovely end, and I quickly downed the entire thing. My teeth were clenched as I swallowed the unpleasant, brown liquid, closing my eyes. She entered with a visibly angry expression on her face. "What in the name of skies is wrong with you?""What do you mean?" "First you left me in the kitchen, moving so quickly that I didn't even get a chance to see your back, and now you're here, drinking yourself to death? How wonderful.” "Don't even dare to pull the trigger and hide behind it."“What is consuming you so deeply?” Her lovely eyes tilted toward my form. "Say something sensible,"“Like you're that smart, I suppose.”"Stop playing this game. You will just make me turn away from you.”“You humiliated me by listening in on my chat, and then you made a fool of me. When I politely declined, how could you ask for an explanation in front of a mere slav
*LISA* “You are bleeding, Lisa.” The sponge is removed from my grasp and thrown into the sink by him. "If you want to thrive, you need first aid care.” "Beta Damien, it's just a scratch and a few punctures here and there, nothing really." I kept my face hidden from him so as not to frighten the second person who has been helpful to me for a very long time. The fact that I wept through the entire night and into this morning frightened me the most since I know that my face will be severely swollen, making me doubly unattractive. Therefore, it's a risk I'm not willing to take. "Says the crybaby." He made fun of me while rinsing the soap off my hands in the sink, my hands in his. "Since you love orders so much, I'm ordering you to go get first aid right away." His calm voice seemed more like a plea. "Alpha Conan..." "I'll take care of that okay?" I'll be honest; I wasn't quite sold on the concept. If Alpha Conan scared people so much, how much more I that have tasted his vile? I wou
