Bullied Runt Mate of Three Lycans

CELESTE'S POV I melted into Khal's embrace, savoring the warmth of our connection after he pulled out of me. It was a little painful as it was my first time, and he was quite rough and solely concentrated on getting himself off. Still, at this moment, I am extremely happy. "Happy birthday, my love. I've got something for you." I sat up and tried planting a kiss on his forehead but he pulled away before I could reach him. In that second, I could have sworn I saw a horrid mix of lust and disgust flash in his eyes. "I'll have it later." Khal stood up and started putting on his pants. I guess he was in a hurry to join the celebration before someone noticed he was missing. "Alright." I smiled, "You should mark me before you go, the mating pull has waned enough to not hurt me too much now." "I'm not going to mark you, Celeste. I never planned to." Khal's sharp words cut through me like glass. I could barely recognize his voice. Maybe I heard it wrong. "What? What do you mean? We -" "I'm done. You all can come in!" He suddenly yelled. In that instant, Amalisa and some of Khal's friends stepped into the room. I quickly lifted the sheets to cover my exposed body. Amalisa came in giggling uncontrollably, she tried speaking but her fits were too overpowering. "Sweet Selene, the stupid b***h actually fell for it!" Shelly jeered. "I can't believe you did it. You broke through the iron p*say, from this moment on I'll never question you again!" Cain, one of Khal's buddies sniggered like a drunk rat. "I told you guys, there's no prize I can't attain," Khal replied before proceeding with a fist and shoulder bump. I stood up, wrapped in the sheets as I listened to their harsh comments. "What's going on Khal?" I muttered. Saying I was confused would be an understatement, I was mortified. Only a moment ago I was so full of bliss having finally mated with my long-time boyfriend, Khal and now the worst of my bullies are gathered and cheering. "Goodness, you are so slow. Can't you tell you just got played?" Amalisa spoke mockingly. "What?" I felt a lump rise in my throat. "You are a smart girl Celeste, do you really believe that a mate bond between an Alpha and someone even less than an Omega would ever work? Why would I want such a weak, useless Luna that can't even shift?" Khal said coldly. The caring and sweet man who held me in his embrace, whispering loving words in my ears only hours ago, had disappeared without a trace. Amalisa has always been cruel to me, but this... This I didn't expect from Khal. Consumed with anger, I found my voice, "If you felt this way, then why did you persistently pursue a relationship with me, why did you make so many promises....why did you take my virginity?" Of course, I'm not blind to reality. I know a relationship between an omega and an Alpha would come with a lot of scorn and hardships. This is why it took Khal over two years of stubbornly wooing me before I finally accepted being his girlfriend with the condition that our relationship was kept secret from others. I asked for nothing and had no lofty dreams of becoming Luna. Khal was the one to fill me with hope I dared not have and constantly promised a better life as his Luna. As long as I was willing to mate with him, our love was enough. He would reject his mate if he ever finds her, and settle her properly. The same goes for me. Hope is a terrible thing. If he didn't mean any of it, why did he have to give me hope? "He did that because I asked him to," Amalisa replied like she'd been waiting for me to say just that. "You looked so f*****g pathetic looking for someone to play with when we were little that I asked Khal to pretend to like you and show you a little kindness before showing his true colors to see how you'd react." "It was supposed to be a joke but you're so f*****g gullible it lasted for years." "What?" I froze as blood drained from my face. Since we were little kids, no one had ever been truly kind to me except Khal. To think he was only kind because Amalisa said so... this truth broke me further in places I thought couldn't even break anymore. "Things got out of hand, It even graduated to us dating." Khal added, "But you were such a f*****g prude, I had to put my pride aside to conquer you. Other omegas weren't so hard, they basically fall into my bed. I almost gave up but it only took a few sweet words, promising you the position as my Luna before you finally opened your legs." "This wouldn't have dragged on if you weren't holding out. I had to promise to mark you for you to finally put out. I admit you are pretty sweet but your p***y isn't f*****g golden is it?" I searched Khal's eyes in disbelief at what he was spouting, "I thought you loved me?" "Love?" Amalisa cackled like it was the funniest thing she's heard in her life. "This is a world where the strong are valued over the weak, love has no place in it. Calling you an omega would be an insult to other omegas. Still, you think a cursed b***h like you deserves love?" "Do you think you even have a mate in this world? I mean you don't even have a wolf will within you. Even the moon goddess deems you less deserving." Amalisa suddenly stopped laughing and punched me so hard in the gut that I doubled over in pain. "That's for f*****g my mate." "What?" I yelled in shock, losing count of how many times I've repeated this rhetoric. Amalisa pulled Khal in for a big kiss to rub it in. "Oh, you didn't know?" Amalisa spoke mockingly, "On my eighteenth birthday, I found out Khal was my fated mate, but we were having so much fun messing around with you that we decided to keep it secret. But not anymore, today he's going to announce me as his mate and future Luna. Congratulate us, aren't you happy for us?" I kept silent as a pang of hurt and jealousy engulfed my heart. No matter how much I tried holding it back, tears clouded my sight in an instant. Amalisa always had the habit of taking away anything I liked, it didn't matter if it was of no value to her. Khal was the only thing I had, my peace. He was something I thought Amalisa couldn't reach, but now she's taken him away from me. Rather he's belonged to her the entire time. I felt sick to my stomach. All this time, I've been dancing in the palms of her hands. "You know, I've always hated how you carry yourself all high and mighty despite being a filthy omega. What you found out just now is how things should naturally be. I wasn't the other woman, you were. Tell me, how does it feel?" "Tell me!" "Ah!" I yelped in pain as Amalisa landed another punch at the same aching spot she hit before. "What's are you covering up for?" Amalisa viciously ripped the sheets off my body. "You are a nothing but a cheapb w***e, you should dress like one." I huddled down immediately in an effort to cover my exposed body. I desperately wished the earth would open up and swallow me whole but I wasn't granted such mercy. "Woah, nice t**s Celeste. I wouldn't mind taking a bite outta that" Runne's lustful eyes surveyed by body, sticking to it like overchewed gum. "f*****g fat slut!" Shelly cleared her throat and spat on me. No matter how frustrated I felt, I couldn't fight back. I don't dare to fight back. It would only make things worse, experience has taught me that. Amalisa's way stronger than me. She was about to hit me again when Khal held her back, "That's enough, Amalisa." "But-" "I said enough," Khal growled. Only then did she grudgingly back off. I couldn't help but let out a painful giggle at this scene. It was all too familiar. Amalisa would beat me up, while Khal would come to the rescue. I've been insulted enough. "Why is this b***h laughing? Has she finally gone mad?" Amalisa stared at me incredulously. "Rejoice, you won! You've taken it all from me" I locked eyes with Khal, trembling as I spoke, "I hope you are satisfied." I'm a fool to believe truly good things can ever happen to a cursed person like me. "Don't look at me like that. You know this is all your fault right?" Khal spoke with a strangely displeased tone. I didn't respond to that. I desperately needed to get away from them. I tried maneuvering my way out but a strong force held me back. "I'm not done with you yet!" He had already got what he wanted what else does he want now? Khal suddenly yanked me closer and sunk his teeth deep into my neck. A suffocating, excruciating pain enveloped my body in an instant. He was marking me so forcefully. My wolfless body protested but his alpha wolf-will overpowered it. I dropped to the ground with an ear-piercing scream the moment he let go of me. "No need to thank me. Since you are so desperate to be marked by me, I'll keep my promises. It is your honor that I like you enough to accept you as my breeder." Khal remarked. "What have you done khal? We didn't agree on this!," Amalisa protested, but it was too late. The deed had been done. "I am going to be the alpha of this pack soon. I shall take however many breeders as I please, get used to it." He glared at Amalisa, shutting her up in an instant. In turn, Amalisa stared daggers at my writhing body, though I was too busy screaming in pain to care. After marking me, Khal didn't spare any more words and left with Amalisa and company. His careless marking took a huge toll on my body. It felt like I was at death's door. Still, somehow I didn't know where I got the strength to stand up and run. It felt like something took over my body. I ran out of the pack house into the forest. I kept on running and running and I felt my body getting lighter with each second. In the next moment, I found myself floating on air, and the instant I touched the ground. I was running on four paws. My wolf, she is finally here. It started snowing but I kept on running, feeling the wind rush against my fur. With each stride, I felt icy dirt against my paws and the crisp scent of the forest filled my nostrils, mingling with the earthy aroma of pine and the delicate sweetness of wildflowers. It was exhilarating. I felt my heart get lighter and my pain faded away with each step I took. I stopped by a river to rest and drink some water. At this point, I was almost at the other end of the forest. A little swish of the water announced that I wasn't alone. I had been so thirsty and focused on drinking, that I didn't bother to check my surroundings. A few feet away from me, stood a naked man. I couldn't help staring; he looked like a work of art. I don't think I've seen him in the pack before yet I felt a strange connection with him. 'What is someone like him doing in the forest by this time of the night?' I ask myself. He possessed icy blue eyes and a uniquely pretty face. His beautiful pale skin complimented his streamlined, slightly muscular body perfectly. The rays of moonlight from the night highlighted his ethereal essence. Before I realized it, my wolf walked up to him. Wearing a blank expression, He reached down and massaged my fur. I let him, resting in the warmth of his hands. I should be wary, he is a stranger but at the same time ,it felt so right... so familiar. "Do..." I was about to speak when I heard a twig snap. This was when I realized, this beautiful fellow wasn't alone. When I looked carefully, I spotted several other wolves hidden in the shadows. They looked very strong and menacing. Spooked, I sprinted away immediately. Unsurprisingly, when I looked back, I was being given hot pursuit. Luckily they didn't seem to know their way around. After a few turns, I managed to lose them. I only started heading back to the pack after making sure I wasn't being followed. Damn, I hope I've not accidentally caused some kind of trouble. ❐❐❐ "I'm sorry my prince, we could not catch up with the wolf. It knows these terrains better than us. If you want we could..." Rand spoke with his head down and supported himself on one knee as he gave his report. The fair man lifted his hand and the guard stopped speaking immediately. "What's the nearest pack to this forest?" He asked with a slight frown. "I believe it's the SnowClaw Pack, Your Highness." "Get your men ready. We leave for the SnowClaw Pack in the morning. I must find that white wolf."
