Pain.
Anguish.
Misery.
Soreness.
That's all Claire felt. The guards that were assigned to torture her walked out and locked the cell, leaving her all bruised and beaten. Her left eye was slightly swollen, she could tell from the soreness in it.
Her clothes were torn as they stripped her of her dignity. Leaving her in only her underwear. Her back had long, deep slashes after being flogged. She lost count of how many times they whipped her after reaching thirty. Her pale skin had turned red.
Her mind was numb as she curled herself into a dark corner of the cell that smelled of dried rotten blood. Her lips were trembling as tears streamed down her face, strands of her red hair blurred her vision.
Her back stung as she choked on a sob. She's been locked in the cell for almost two days with little to no food. She could have easily escaped from the cell, the idea was really tempting, but she knew that was a risk she wasn't willing to take. If Alpha Darius or anyone should find out what she really was, they wouldn't hesitate to slit her throat off.
Someone unlocked the cell and walked in, it was too dark to see who it was. But she knew whoever it was didn't come to save her from this pit of hell.
“I see you are really getting comfortable here. Maybe I should perhaps send you to the dark room?” Alpha Darius' voice spoke as he finally came out of the shadows. He smiled sadistically as he approached her, he leaned down to her height and lifted her chin to meet his evil gaze.
The dark room was where rogues were tortured and killed. Everyone in the pack dreaded being locked up there and she wasn't excluded. Once a pack member that worked with the enemy pack, was brutally killed when Alpha Darius found out about his betrayal.
Claire shuddered as his cold hands touched her chin. She was too weak to fight back as he squeezed her chin painfully. His eyes gleamed as he saw her flinch in pain.
“My men will torture you. When I'm done with you, you will never think about escaping this pack, omega.” He threatened with a snarl as his eyes turned black.
He dragged his fingers down to the bruise on her cheek. His touch made her skin crawl as she trashed around him, but her body was too weak to fight back.
Without thinking, she spat in his face. His eyes looked murderous and he smacked her right cheek hard. She screamed as she bit the inside of her cheek, blood was already dripping from her lips.
“You filthy bïtch! How dare you?!” He pulled her hair roughly and as he was about to land a punch on her face, they were interrupted by a pack guard.
The guard looked panicked. “A-alpha. We are under attack! T-the dark moon pack…” Alpha Darius' eyes widened in horror.
“T-the t-twin Alphas? B-but we never crossed paths with them. What could possibly…” Realization filled his eyes as he turned to me, his mouth dropped open in terror. He gulped as he looked around in panic, he glared at the trembling guard. “What are you still waiting for?! I didn't hire you as my guard for nothing, g-go stop them!” He ordered shakily.
Claire's heart soared at the thought of her mates coming for her. Her skin tingled as if aware of their presence, even her wolf that had been silent for a couple of hours was beaming with joy.
'Mates have come to save us.' She purred quietly, obviously still weak from the pain we had to endure.
Just as the guard and Alpha Darius were about to run out, the door was removed off its hinges and her mates and wolves stepped into the pack's cell with a loud growl. Her mates were not in their wolf form but his warriors were in their wolf form, waiting for the order to attack by their Alphas.
The wolves' mouths were filled with fresh blood as they let out a snarl. It wasn't directed at her but that didn't stop her from whimpering from the corner. Her mates eyes snapped towards her at the sound and they growled as they saw the bruises littered on her skin. She curled herself into a ball, her mates weren't supposed to see her like this, all beaten and bruised, she felt disgusted with herself.
“You hurt her?” Callan's voice sounded strained as if fighting to keep himself together.
“You dare touch our mate?” Cameron growled, as his heated eyes pierced into Alpha Darius' soul.
Alpha Darius looked between the both of them, fear crossed his features. “Now now, Alpha Cameron and Alpha Callan, we can settle this amicably. There's been a misunderstanding…”
“Misunderstanding?! Did I hear you say misunderstanding?! You hit our mate and you call it a misunderstanding?” Callan shouted angrily.
“You need to understand that she lied to me, her Alpha. T-there would be consequences for such an act, I had to teach her a lesson. I-I didn't know she was your mate.” He tried to sound firm but one couldn't miss the way his voice wobbled.
“A lesson? You did a really great job, Darius,” Cameron took a threatening step towards him. “Now, why don't we teach you a lesson too?” Cameron added with an evil smirk.
Before Alpha Darius could register what he said, he landed a swift punch on his jaw. Alpha Darius screamed and fell to the floor cradling his broken jaw, he spit out blood from his mouth. He was about to get up from the floor, when Callan kicked his shin, he doubled over in pain, but they weren't done yet.
Claire watched in shock as her mates ordered their pack wolves to deal with him. They walked over to her and she trembled in shame, her mates shouldn't see her in that condition.
“You're fine now, little mate. We got you.” They cooed and ran their hands through her red curls. She felt overwhelmed by their affection and sobbed on their chest.
Alpha Darius lay in a heap on the floor, he had been knocked unconscious. Bite marks and bruises littered his skin. Daxton walked into the cell, staring down at his father's condition. He hated his father so much but he couldn't bear seeing him in that condition. But, he knew his father deserved it, he had been violent towards his best friend and he would bear the consequences of his actions. He left there after ordering the guards to take him to the pack doctor, and he headed straight to Claire's house. They were currently in Claire's small house in their pack, Ashley was sitting on the little couch beside the window, her face was filled with dried tears. He watched as Claire's mates left her sleeping form on the bed and walked towards him, their jaw clenched. They stood firmly in front of him obviously trying to intimidate him, he wasn't scared of them per say. After all, he has alpha blood running through his veins. “I hope you are aware of the consequences of your father's acti
They were currently in front of Claire's house. Cameron had called for a driver from his pack. Claire gasped when she saw the beautiful car. She knew a little about cars and she could tell this was a brand new black Chevron suv 2022. The interiors were plush and the seats were well padded. A bulky man with a deep scowl on his face, came up to Claire and Ashley and took her bags from them. He dumped them unceremoniously in the car's trunk and went back to the driver's side. Cameron was speaking furiously on the phone, while Callan typed away on his phone. She honestly pitied anyone on the receiving end of the call. He wasn't talking to her but his voice sent shivers down her spine. Ashley slightly elbowed her and smirked knowingly, making Claire's cheeks tint pink. Claire's steps were wobbly as she walked so her mates had asked– scratch that– ordered her to sit inside the car, while they did whatever they were doing. “What do you mean he escaped?” Cameron asked calmly, his face cold
They arrived at the Dark moon pack half an hour later. Claire had woken up from her little nap, a few seconds ago. She watched the beautiful scenery as the car sped into the pack. The fields were glade-green. The sound of chirping chicks filled the air. She could see a group of kids playing around and some were curiously watching the tinted car. “Alpha, we are here.” Said the driver who she has yet to find out his name. Claire sat up straighter in her seat and allowed her eyes to wander out the window which landed on an enormous mansion. The house was ridiculously large for just two people. It was a three-storey building. The house was by trees, it was situated in a secluded part of the pack, away from everyone else. In Claire's pack their Alpha's house was next to the beta and gamma's house, but this pack was different. There were no other houses next to the Alphas house. “Do you need us to carry you in, Claire?” Claire was startled by Callan's voice. They were already out of the
Claire glanced at the clock and it said 7:06. Her eyes widened, she had slept for three hours! She wondered if it was the drugs that made her sleep that long. Her stomach growled in hunger and she realized it was time for dinner. She stood up from the comfy bed. She swayed a little but caught herself before she could fall. She walked out of the room not bothering to change her clothes. She wondered if her mates were back from where they went to. She yawned and ran her her fingers through red curls. She wandered down the hallway that her mates had led her through when they were showing her to her room. She walked down the stairs and rose a brow as an unfamiliar scent hit her nose. She followed the scent and saw a girl typing away on her phone in the living room. Who is she? As if noticing a presence behind her, she turned around and jumped to her feet. Her eyes widened as she saw Claire. “H-hi, Luna. I didn't see you there…” She trailed off as her cheeks tinted pink. “I'm Elena.”
Claire turned to her mates after Xavier and Elena left and raised a brow. “Does he always talk to her like that?” And to think she was beginning to like him… Her mates didn't even look the least bit affected by what just happened and that's what infuriated her. “It's really none of our business. And I will advise you not to interfere next time.” Cameron said curtly. She decided to leave the matter for now. She walked over to the microwave, where she kept their food and brought it out. With a smile on her face, she placed the two plates of lasagna in front of them. “Elena and I made lasagna, I thought you would be hungry so —” “I'm not hungry.” They both cut her off simultaneously. She felt hurt at their words, but tried to hide it. It was only now that she noticed their sour mood, their meeting must not have gone well then. Even Callan had a serious expression on his face. Her eyebrow pinched together in worry. “Is everything okay? What's wrong?” “Nothing you should be worried a
Claire groaned as the harsh rays of sunlight hit her face. She must have forgotten to close the curtains before going to bed. She fell asleep in the early hours of the morning and would have appreciated a little more time to sleep. The sun had another plan though, and she couldn't fall asleep anymore. She sat up on the bed and took in her surroundings. She had almost forgotten that she was now in the Dark moon pack. Claire sighed and got up from the bed and entered the bathroom. She sat on the toilet and emptied her bladder. She walked over to the faucet and stared at her reflection on the mirror. Her green eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, her red hair looked like a bird's nest, and she had a little drool in the corner of her mouth. She ran her hands through her hair, trying to tame it. She picked up a new toothbrush from the drawer and started brushing her teeth. She rinsed her mouth with the mouthwash and washed her hands.She turned on the warm water and took off her clot
“Just about ripped her damn hair off! The bitch didn't even see it coming!” It's been two hours since Callan, Cameron and Xavier left the house. Elena is currently telling her how she fought a girl in her former pack. Apparently, the girl had slapped her and insulted her parents when they were having an argument in the pack grounds. Claire raised her eyebrow in amusement, trying to hold back her laugh. “And what did she do?” She couldn't help but ask. Elena rolled her eyes as if the answer was obvious. “She couldn't do anything! That shut her up completely! She didn't dare come close to me until I left the pack!” Elena said with a laugh. She popped her Cheetos into her mouth, munching happily. Claire burst out laughing as she wiggled her eyebrow teasingly. “I didn't take you as a violent type, Lena.”“I'm not violent!” She gasped in mock hurt. “She had it long coming when she threw jabs at me for years! I had it up to 'here' when she slapped me and said demeaning words about my pa
Claire tossed and turned on her bed, it was exactly 12:00am on the dot. She clutched her stomach tightly, fighting back a groan as she felt a deep insatiable hunger in the pit of her belly. She knows what this means, it was a familiar feeling she felt every full moon. What made it different was when she was in the Night Walker Pack, she didn't wait this long to feed it. As soon as the full moon comes out, she's already out for a feed. But in this case, it was different. After Robert had told on Claire and Elena, her mates were beginning to lose their trust in her. She wasn't allowed to go anywhere without their permission. At this moment, she really wished she was at her former pack, things would have been more easier. She felt her gums begin to itch as her teeth elongate into fangs and her fingers grew longer. She gasped as her skin became pale white and her eyes turned a deep shade of black. Her sense of hearing became high and she could hear the bloodstreams of the people in the
