“Ann, Ann, hey pay attention, the alpha is coming back” Yelled my wolf, Zena.
I am thankful for my wolf getting me out of my flashback because they always seem to come at the worst times. The Alpha hates it when I don’t pay attention to him, and my punishment is always worse.
“Thanks Zen” I manage to tell my wolf before the Alpha, Francis Franen, storms into the room I am cleaning. When the alpha enters the room, I am careful not to reach out to my wolf because I don’t want him to know that I have her already.
“Annaleena, why is this room not cleaned yet? I need it ready for tonight!” Alpha bellowed as he pushed me to the ground and stepped on my left hand, breaking all my bones. I bit the inside of my cheek, so I wouldn’t make a noise because I don’t like giving him the satisfaction of knowing he hurt me. When I didn’t respond to my hand being broken, I could see the anger in his eyes.
“Finish cleaning this room now.” He gritted out between his teeth and left. I released the breath I was holding, and I quickly bite down on a towel to keep my screams in as I set all the broken fingers in my hand. After I took a few deep breaths to calm down and get my breathing back to normal because that hurt like hell, I continued cleaning the room I was in. I was thankful it was not my right hand, so I can still finish my chores quickly, hopefully avoiding more punishment.
As I was finishing my chores, I decided to ask Zen the same question I had asked a million times before: “Zena, why can’t we fight back? You know that Dad taught me how to fight, and I am good.”
“Ann, you know that we can’t reveal our true strength yet. It’s not the right time. The Moon Goddess allowed me to come to you early because she knew that you could use my strength to get through this.”
“I just don’t understand why the Moon Goddess would allow me to suffer like this.”
“The Moon Goddess does not control the actions of her children, she can just hope that they make the right decisions and give them the resources to make those choices.”
My wolf has been reminding me of this since we arrived at this hellhole. Normally, we can not sense our wolves until our 18th birthday, but I have been communicating with Zen since I was 15, and I wouldn’t have survived this long without her. I am thankful to the Moon Goddess for allowing her to come to me when I needed her the most. If it wasn’t for Zen, I would have ended my life the first night I arrived.
Flash back to the night I was taken:
“Welcome to your new pack” Alpha Francis said as he threw me to the ground in front of his entire pack.
“Everyone, this is Annaleena, the newest addition to our pack. She is sent here as payment to a debt owed by her former Alpha. She is to be treated as a slave, but anyone who kills her will also meet the same fate.” He yelled at his pack members.
“Come slave, time to get to work.” He barked to me as he walked into the pack house. I quickly got to my feet and followed him inside.
As I entered the pack house, an older lady with a stern look shoved a mop and broom into my hands and said in a rough voice “Clean all the floors in every room that is unlocked.”
“Yes ma’am.” I said with my eyes cast to the floor.
I spent most of the day cleaning the first and second floors. I started on the third floor, and everything was going smoothly until I entered Asher’s room, Alpha’s son. When I entered, he was lying on his bed naked.
“I am sorry sir, I didn’t know anyone was in this room. I will come back later.” I said as I quickly looked down and started to exit the room.
“No stop. You will continue to clean my room, and you will do so naked.” He said in a hoarse voice.
“Whaaa whaaaat?” I stuttered out.
“You heard me. You will continue to clean my room, and you will do so naked, or I will tell my father to murder your pack.”
I looked into his eyes to see that he was being serious. I bit my lip to stop the tears from falling and slowly started to undress because I couldn’t allow my pack to be put in danger. I didn’t remove my underwear in hopes to keep some sort of dignity.
“Now that’s a good girl. I will allow you to keep your sexy underwear on this time because you look hot as f**k in them. Now start cleaning.” He said as he started to stroke his hard c**k.
I focused on what I was cleaning, so I could get out of here as fast as possible, but the whole time I could hear Asher groaning as he pleasured himself.
“Come here.” He said in a hoarse voice. “I am almost done, and I want you to see what your sexy body does to me.”
I was hesitant to walk towards him, but one growl made me quickly walk over to the bed. I kept my eyes focused on everything besides his c**k.
“Look at it while I release my load.” He growled at me.
I looked up and watched as he vigorously pumped his c**k and released his load all over himself and the bed. It took all my might not to throw up all over him. I did not expect my first time seeing a man naked to be like this.
“Now clean this up and get dressed. I will show you to your room.” He said as he stood up from the bed and headed into the bathroom and turned on the shower.
I quickly stripped the bed and found an extra set of sheets in the closet close to the bathroom. After I made the bed, I got dressed as fast as possible and stood next to the door with my eyes cast down hoping to get out of here as fast as possible because I did not want this scumbag to see me cry.
I heard the bathroom door open, but I still did not take my eyes off the floor until a pair of bare feet entered my line of sight. When I looked up, I noticed that Asher was standing in front of me in nothing but a towel.
For a second, I forgot who I was in the room with and admired the man before me. He is very handsome with sharp chiseled abs and strong arms and a perfect V that disappears under his towel. When I looked back up his body towards his face, I noticed he has dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Wow, he is rather hot.
“Like what you see.” he said, snapping me back to reality.
I quickly looked down feeling ashamed of myself for looking at this man after what he just made me do.
“It’s OK sweetheart, we have a lot of time to get to know each other. Let me show you to your room” he said as he exited his room.”
We walked into the hallway and stopped in front of a door just two doors down from Asher’s room. He slowly opened the door to a small broom closet filled with cobb webs, dust, and a small bed.
I walked into the room and heard the door shut. When I turned around, I sighed in relief when I realized I was alone. The second I realized I was alone, tears started to flow down my face. I tried to distract myself by cleaning the room, but that didn’t last long because the room is small. I laid down on the bed trying to get some sleep, but that didn’t seem to work either. I was so ashamed of myself because of what happened that I was having a hard time getting out of my own head.
Since I was having a hard time getting out of my own head, I decided I would rather die than deal with the shame of what Asher had planned for me. I was creating a plan on how to end my life when I heard a soothing voice.
“Oh Annaleena, please don’t think like that.”
“Whose there?”
“It’s me your wolf, Zeena.”
“Hi Zeena, why are you here now? I thought I wasn’t supposed to get my wolf until I turned 18.”
“Normally, yes, but I noticed you were about to make the biggest mistake ever and asked the Moon Goddess to allow me to be with you sooner. The Moon Goddess granted my request but on one condition. We are not allowed to shift or show anyone our strength until the time is right.”
“You saw what happened. How am I supposed to move forward with this shame?” I said between sobs.
“There is nothing to be ashamed of. You did what you had to do to protect our pack. I am very proud of you for putting aside your pride for the best of the pack. Things will get better, I promise.”
“But how will I handle it if Asher puts his hands on me?”
“I talked to Asher’s wolf, Dexter, and he has threatened to leave Asher for good if he forces you to mate with him. He can’t stop him from looking at you or touching you, but it is against our kind to force someone into mating.”
“Thank you, Zeena, and thank you for coming to me early. I really need you.”
“You’re welcome, Ann now gets some sleep.”
