A Wolfs Sacrifice

The past

Naomi’s POV

I am laying in bed waiting for the alarm to go off signaling that it’s time to get up and start our chores.

I haven’t slept all night, my mind just keeps repeating everything that has lead me to this place. I committed treason and sold our Luna, the punishment of which is death. Even if I make it out of here I will be executed and nothing is going to save me.

Sophia isn’t going to save me…hell I wouldn’t save me if I were her! I wonder what my family is doing? Are they okay? Do they miss me? I wish I had spent more time with them. I still don’t understand how I thought Jacob was my mate. I wish I could talk to Maryann I miss her so much.

I messed everything up so badly the only future I see is death whether it be here or at the hands of my pack for what I have done. I have to find some way to save myself. I can’t let things end badly… yes I made mistakes but I don’t think I deserve death.

Suddenly the alarm starts going off and the other girls get up. I decided I should get up as well and get this day over with. I know I need to escape again I just need to find the perfect opportunity. It’s been hard because Alpha dumb dumb aka Alpha Cody has been following me. I think he’s a pervert or something I mean why else would he be following me?

After cooking breakfast we were once again required to sit with the pack and of course I got stuck sitting across from Alpha dumb dumb! He kept looking at me while I ate, I at least 5 times thought I had food on my face! I ate quickly and excused myself to start cleaning and just when I thought I was in the clear I bought him peeking around the corner at me OMG he is stalking me the weirdo!

Cody’s POV

Well it’s official Naomi thinks I’m a weird stalker. That’s because you are a weird stalker! You kept staring at her during breakfast and now she caught you looking at her from around the corner! I’m happy you can’t see me you creep, my wolf says.

Thanks for that but I could have done without your input I tell him.

Oh you need my input or my mate is going to throw acid on you or something to stop you from stalking her! Stupid human

I just sigh and block my wolf out, I can’t deal with him right now. I know Naomi can’t feel the bond and it is making me crazy. I just want to be with her but I have the moon goddess my word to help her and the other slaves.

Speaking of which I need to talk to my brother about Sophia and ask him why she is here since she didn’t do anything wrong. The goddess only has my brother punish women that have committed a serious crime so if she is the one that is a victim then I’m confused.

I made my way to Jacob’s office and knocked on the door. “Come in” I hear and walk in, I sit across from him start trying to get this all figured out.

C - hey bro why is Sophia a slave

J - What do you mean? The goddess told me to buy her? I do as I am told by our goddess.

C - Right, I just don’t get why she is a slave if she is the victim. Does it make sense to you?

J - I guess I hadn’t really thought about it.

C - Why don’t you ask the goddess about it.

J - Are you crazy!!! You expect ME to question the goddess and her decisions?

C - I’m just saying that there is something strange about the situation. The goddess has never asked you to take a victim as a slave before and she has never involved anyone else in helping the slaves as she has involved me.

J - I agree but you know I can’t question her. This is my life, my debt and my punishment.

C - at what point is your torture going to end? How long do you have to live like this? How many times do you have to live through feeling a mate bond and having to feel it break as soon as you set foot on your pack lands? It’s been 250 years, when do you get to be free?

J - I wish I knew Cody, but I can tell you this. I will not do anything that will jeopardize my Luna’s safety. I went through hell to have her and I will did to save her!

C - I know bro, I know. I just wish the goddess would find someone else to carry out her deeds and dish out her punishment.

Alpha Jacob’s POV

After my brother left I just sit in my office chair thinking back to the faithful day that lead me to my own personal hell.

250 years ago (Father I am on my way to visit the Alpha of our neighboring pack, I’m trying to form an alliance to strengthen our pack and get some extra protection from the rogues.

Ok son please come see me when you get home I would like to know how it goes.

As I pulled up to their pack house I see the most beautiful woman that I have ever laid eyes on and my wolf shouts “MATE” over and over in my head. I jump out of the car and start to make my way to her when the Alpha starts to introduce himself then turns toward my mate and introduces her as his Luna.

I almost went rogue at that very moment. All I could see was red but I quickly covered it up and introduced myself. As I shook her hand I could tell she felt the sparks just as I did but she tried to remain unfazed.

Just then the alpha calls an omega to show me to my room. Once settled in I hear a knock at the door and open it to find my mate standing directly in front of me. She brushes past me and looks like she is about to cry once I shut the door.

How could you mate another wolf? I ask her

I didn’t have a choice, my father made an alliance and I am the payment, She tells me.

Have you mated yet? You are not marked

No the ceremony is next week? I’m sorry, please I don’t want to be his Luna I want my true mate.

I moved closer to her and used my thumbs to wipe her tears, then I take her in my arms and hold her close just breathing in her beautifully amazing scent of buttercream and pumpkin spice.

Leave it to me I will take cate of the situation. You just continue as normal. Thank you she sobs out and I hold her for a bit longer before she has to go. I lie down on the bed to take a nap and wait for night fall. I knew exactly what I was going to do once everyone was asleep.

Once 2am rolled around I was sure that everyone was asleep. I snuck out of the room and to the top floor where I knew the alphas chambers would be. Once outside the door my hands were shaking. You see in order to take an alphas mate you are supposed to challenge them for their mate and pack but I’m barely an alpha right now. I’m newly 18, trying to make my first alliance and just met my mate so yes I’m taking the cowards way out.

I slowly opened his bedroom door and hear him lightly snoring. As I walk over to the side of his bed I almost chicken out. I’ve never killed someone before but it has to be done if I want my mate. I take out the silver blade coated in wolfsbane, raise it above my head and stab him directly in the heart so that there is no chance of survival.

Just then all hell broke loose. The alpha screamed the most disturbingly sickening scream of death that I have ever heard. All of s sudden every wolf in the pack house and on the pack lands started howling and screaming. Lightning suddenly started striking outside and the power went out. Then out of nowhere it stopped, everything went dead silent and it was as if time had stopped.

Just then a bright light appeared and a beautiful woman appeared in front of me and I knew my her aura that she was the moon goddess. I fell to my knees at her presence and showed my neck as a sign of submission.

RISE! I hear her say and I can feel the anger in her voice. I am so very disappointed in you Jacob. You know the law! You need to formally challenge an alpha to take his mate but you decided to take the cowards way out and kill him in his sleep! What do you have to say for yourself?

I am sorry goddess I just wanted my mate.

You were meant to reject her! That was your path… but you have chosen a different path than what I had laid out for you and now you will forever bare the punishment of your actions. You know your second chance mate was going to be the best thing to ever happen to you and your pack, but now you will only know sadness.

You and your mate will never know true peace. You will do my bidding until I decide other wise. I hope in the end you still believe being a coward was worth it)

With that I snap back to the present. Looking back there are so many things I would have and should have done differently. Thinking that now does not do me any good though. I was a coward but no more. I am an alpha with a duty to his pack and the goddess. I will bear a thousand mate bonds if it keeps my mate safe.

I notice it’s near dinner time and decide to make my way to the dining room. Cody is tight though I wonder why the goddess sent me to but a victim as a slave? With that last thought the rest of the day was pretty uneventful. By the time it was 10 I was exhausted and decided to head to bed. My last thought was of my beautiful mate laying next to me.
