Lilia’s P.O.V.
I woke up in my lavish bed in a very lavish room of the Blood Stone pack.
I was living here for the last four years, but this place never felt like home.
It can never be because I was living like a cannery in a golden cage.
My pack Rocky Heels was attacked by the alpha of the Blood Stone pack four years back.
We thought we will lose everything in his war, but the alpha’s eyes fell on me, and he wanted me for himself.
He offered my dad to hand me over to him and he would let him remain alpha in return but under his guidance.
My dad thought it would be great as he won’t have to sacrifice his pack and title of alpha.
So he sacrificed me.
I also didn’t object because as a daughter of the alpha I had some duty toward my pack.
And I would be glad to sacrifice my life for the sake of my pack.
But the alpha kept me locked in the packhouse of Blood Stone pack as I was still underage.
I was fourteen years then and now I will be eighteen in two days.
Alpha Ezekiel, the alpha of the blood moon pack would announce me as his Luna on my eighteen birthday.
And this will be my ultimate sacrifice, sacrificing my wait for my mate and presenting my fate in his hand to bend it according to his will.
When I woke up, two maids came forward to help me with my morning routine.
I was only wearing my see-through nightgown.
Though I have always loved to be conservative I got used to it as I was living here for four years and I could only wear seductive dresses.
According to them, I was here for Ezekiel and I was bound to live as he wanted.
They helped me change into another dress, which leaves nothing to anyone’s imagination about how much skin it was showing.
The dress was an off-shoulder bodycon dress.
The dress was so short that it was showing my cleavage deeply.
And in below it was reaching only to my thighs.
It not only accentuate my curves but also looked me like a seductress or you can say slut.
But I knew there are no decent clothes in my closet though it was filled with clothes of every top-class brand.
So I have long back stopped objecting when they chose dresses for me.
They tied up my dark brown hair in a bun while leaving a few strands of hair loose in front of my face and because of that, my entire backside was bare because of the backless dress.
After finishing their work, they leave me alone as I have to walk down for breakfast like every other day.
I walked outside so that I can go downstairs to have my breakfast with my would-be mate.
Ezekiel was sitting there at the table when I entered the room.
And how he was eye fucking me while I walked toward my seat. I know he liked the dress I wore.
But it was making me uncomfortable
“Good morning, Lilia,” He greeted me and I take my seat beside him.
“Morning.” I greeted back monotonously.
The maid served us our breakfast and we have our food silently.
Ezekiel didn’t like to talk during food and I was also not interested in talking with him.
Though he is providing me with every luxury, I could never accept him wholeheartedly.
He was good-looking, powerful, and romantic.
But there was a voice inside my heart that constantly reminded me he was not my mate and that thing never let my heart settle with him.
I always wanted to be with my true mate.
But fate tied me with him, and I couldn’t deny this bond for any earthly attraction.
After two days, I will lose every chance to be with my mate and this thought only was making me unsettled.
I knew if I accept Ezekiel he would always keep me happy.
But I couldn’t even think of him as mine and neither I will ever be.
I will always crave my mate even if I become his.
“Day after tomorrow is your birthday and Luna ceremony,” he informed me the obvious thing while he finished his breakfast and I look at him keeping my spoon as I have already lost my appetite because of this topic.
“I have arranged some beauty treatments for you. Today the stylist will come and you can choose any dress you want and tomorrow the girl will provide you with a full-body spa,” he informed me, but I didn’t react.
It was not a joyous occasion for me. I was forced to do this and how I can be happy with this?
But he didn’t mind as it was always been like this.
When we are together, it was always him who talks.
I just often reply with small words.
“And be ready for the day after tomorrow. I will claim what is mine after the Luna ceremony.” He said, and looks at me seductively.
How he was gazing at me with lust was making me uncomfortable.
But I didn’t show any movement.
Ezekiel left after his words and I also come back to my room.
That day, as Ezekiel said a group of a girl came to show me their collection of dresses.
But I was not interested, so I chose one simple and modest type of dress that can at least keep me calm.
Though I didn’t object when Ezekiel make me wear those revealing clothes, I don’t like them and I would never willingly choose something that vile.
Neither I want to wear something revealing in front of a crowd of men.
And I think he won’t object to this that day because he has always acted possessively around me.
The day ended with the dress choosing, measuring my size, checking the fitting, and selecting the jewelry.
But I was not involved in any of these.
My personal maid sorted out the thing, and I just gave them the final decision.
The next day also passed like this as another group of girls came for my body for pampering.
Ezekiel was very excited. He was making sure that everything was perfect, and he was arranging everything personally.
But his enthusiasm made me feel nothing.
For me, it was the end of my dreams, hope, and happiness.
For every she-wolf, her eighteen birthday is very important.
Because when they become eighteen they can feel their mate.
When they meet, they feel the spark of a mate bond.
But in my case, it was a curse.
Because I am going to be Luna a person who doesn’t know the importance of this bond.
Neither does he respect this bond.
And after he will mark me I could never go back to my mate.
I think I won’t even know who my mate is.
I don’t know what to do.
I feel like killing myself.
But I know one stupid mistake of mine will cause the death of many innocent people.
So I have to swallow this bitter medicine.
On the day of my ceremony, another group of girls arrived to make me prepare for the event.
I was sitting there silently and letting them do their job.
They were doing my makeup setting my hair and making me look like a princess.
But how calm I was from outside, from inside a storm was breaking my every hope and enthusiasm.
My brain was forcing me to back off, and my heart was crying for my mate.
What if he was also waiting for me and I would just take his chance away with my decision?
But did I have a choice?
No, I didn’t
I would have to do this, though I want to move my feet and run far away from here.
How I wished for my mate to come and take me away from him.
But I knew it can’t happen.
It was just my wishful thinking.
I know I was betraying my mate and I could never forgive myself after today’s incident.
“Luna, do you want something else?” The stylist asked when she was done with her work.
“Huh?” I came out of my daze and noticed my image in the mirror.
In front of me was sitting an exquisite girl who can snatch anyone’s heart.
But whose heart she was asking can never be achieved by her.
“Luna, if it’s Ok we can take our leave.” She asked when she noticed I was not responding.
“You can go.” Jane, my personal maid, said on my behalf.
She has come with me from my pack, and she only knows what I feel about this.
“Jane, can you bring me some wine?” I asked, and she nodded and leave from there sadly.
“How ungrateful she is. Alpha is doing so much for her and here she was, acting like a damsel in distress.” I heard the stylist whispering to her assistant while she was leaving the room.
But I sneered mockingly.
If she would have known what I was losing.
“Luna, Alpha is waiting for you downstairs. Guests have arrived and the auspicious time will start soon.” One of my personal maids came to inform me. Hearing her word, my heart skipped a beat, and it felt like my life is close to its ending. I wanted to turn around and flee from this place, but I was helpless. “Give me some minutes. I will be there.” I said, and she left after bowing to me. In an hour, the moon will be at its highest point and then they will perform the ceremony. My Luna ceremony. Which will bind me to this pack and also to Ezekiel. It will wipe away the power of my mate bond and will bind me with Ezekiel forever. If I would have been an alpha, this bond wouldn’t be able weak my mate bond. But Ezekiel’s power is more than mine, so his aura will dominate the aura of my wolf. I took a deep breath and get up from my seat. I looked at myself in the mirror for the last time. From now onwards I won’t be Lilia. I will be someone’s mate and Luna of this pack. My
“Alpha Damien, we used to be friends. Don’t ruin this thing by making some stupid mistake. Your action will spoil not our friendship but our pack’s peace too.” Ezekiel Threatened him. But my mate was looking at me unfazed and it felt like he can’t see anything other than me.He was looking at me like I was so treasureI can feel the atmosphere changing as the happy moment is changing into something ugly and I know this thing will get nasty soon.“Do you think I care? I have waited for my mate for twenty-five years of my life. Nothing is more important than her.” He says, and I look down.I couldn’t look into his eyes as I was guilty.I know he is here to claim what is his, and I didn’t have any right to stop him.I was fated to be his.But my fate has played a cruel game with me.My fate has bound me with Ezekiel.Even if I want to wrap my body with his scent and curl
I was waiting for too long, closing my eyes for his dreadful announcement.Tears were rolling down my eyes continuously.“Lilia,” he called me, but I didn’t open my eyes.I can’t face him anymore.I have disappointed him.I have failed our bond. I couldn’t give him what he deserved.“Look at me,” he said sternly, placing his hand on my cheek and I open my eyes and look at him with an apologetic gaze.“I, Damien, Alpha of the Moon Flower pack won’t accept your rejection. You are my mate and will always be, I would never accept it till my last breath.” He said lovingly.His face held a smile but his eyes are red with tears.But he was holding it inside.I felt guilty seeing her pained expression.“No, you can’t do that. She has rejected you. You can’t reject her rejection.” I hear Ezekiel growl.He was act
Damien’s P.O.V.It has been a month since Rose left our life.I thought I wouldn’t be affected.But her last words left a deep impact on my sanity.How couldn’t I notice she loved me so much?When she died, I was feeling guilty about her.But there was not an ounce of love.I was just regretting taking her as my mate and ruining her life.I was so lost in my sadness that I couldn’t realize that she was suffering, too.I wanted to provide her with a place where she can live happily and peacefully.But I didn’t know this palace became a cage for her and she wanted her freedom.I was happy that she got her peace.But I feel guilty thinking about how I am the reason for her suffering.Her last word still rings in my ear.“But I hope this time you find your other part of the soul. Your mate.”How could someone love another person with so much
When I got in my car and Peter started the car and we drove away from his pack, leaving my mate with that asshole.My wolf came to the surface and started to yell at me.“How could you leave her alone? She needs us. She needed to be protected.” My wolf, Chaos, was angry. He wanted to protect her keep her close and comfort her.Leaving her with someone else was making him unsettled.He was constantly complaining in my head, and that was causing me a headache.“Shut up.” I berated him and he whimpered sadly.I rarely become angry with him because most of the time he acts calmly.But today he was not thinking as I think.We can’t act on impulse today.This matter is complicated.“Do you want our mate to hate us?” I asked, and he shook his head.He was scared because I scolded him so loudly, but he was not thinking sanely about what I could do.“Have you not noticed how his word was making her submit to him? He has something in his hand which was making our mate helpless. He was using her
Lilia’s P.O.V.The next morning when I woke up the sun was shining brightly.I look at the clock, and it was hitting twelve.I become shocked thinking I slept till noon.I tried to get up, but I hiss in pain.My whole body was sore as I was sleeping on the floor and my feet were paining as I left my wound untreated.My head was also aching badly.And I was feeling dizzy too.I had nothing after lunch on the last day, so maybe that’s why I was feeling weak.I got up and knock on the door to take a chance, but like last night no one bothered to open it.I thought Ezekiel’s anger must have calmed down after the passing night.But when I remember how angry he wasThe room was a disaster, so I slowly got up and walked toward the bed.Though I didn’t want to share the bed that Ezekiel used my body was retaliating.I needed to lie down before I fall unconscious againSo I walked toward the bed and lean on the headboard tiredly.A few minutes later, someone opened the door, and a maid entered
I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do.My wolf Selena came forward and gave me the most needed strength.“Lilia, we can’t lose today. Chaos has told me to stay put. He would come to take us.” Selena said.Chaos was Damien’s wolf.I have heard from Selena how lovesick she was when chaos talked with her and how she wanted to be with him.I don’t know about Damien, but if Chaos has promised Selena, he would surely come.I can’t get weak and fail our mate.I desperately wanted to get away from him, so my instinct kicked in.I bent my leg and hit him with my knee where the sun doesn’t shine.His face contorted in pain, and his hand also got loose on mine, giving me a way to escape.I knew this is the moment I need to act sensibly.I pushed him with all my might and get off the bed, making as much distance from him as possible.But before I could reach the door, he held my leg and pulled me down.I fell on my face and hit my forehead on the table which was kept there.My head was bl
Damien’s P.O.V.It was noon, and I was standing here in front of the pack house of the Rocky Hill pack.Yes, I am here to meet Lilia’s dad and discuss something important.I know he is alpha here, but all pack decisions must have to approve by Ezekiel according to their deal.I know though he was dealing with this disrespectful position out of desperation it was better for him to agree to this than live a life like an omega.He is alpha by name and I am sure he would be keen to free himself from this problem and gain control of his pack.And I would be delighted to give him a chance to fulfill his wish. After all, I am his soon-to-be son-in-law. Don’t miss the sarcasm in my words, though.He is the only thing that is stopping my mate to come running into my arms and accepting me as her mate. And he is also the reason for my mate’s misfortune.Though this matter will benefit him a lot, I was not happy to give him this satisfaction.But I wanted to make sure nothing can force my mate to
