Escaping Alpha's Wrath

Realise

Milla Will POV:

I pressed my head harder than necessary, but that didn’t help me much. I saw no path that could lead me to a way where Austin could just reject me because he seemed so intent on making me accept him.

Can I try giving him a chance? Would that work?

“Do you think giving him a chance can help you, anyway?” I asked myself. I didn’t feel like it was helping at all; it was just true. I knew he would never let me live freely.

“What kind of monster is he?” my conscience reminded me, and I agreed with it too.

How can I forget what kind of Alpha Austin is? I spent my past in so much pain that he physically inflicted on me.

My whole body jolted as I heard a knock on the door. Shayna had already left, so who could it be now? Is it Austin? I immediately sat up straight.

“Milla, can I come inside?” I heard a feminine voice, and I replied, “Yes, of course.” I didn’t recognize the voice, but I knew it was someone I barely knew.

“How are you feeling now?” I saw my mother enter and ask me with a concerned face. I relaxed a bit, knowing it was my mother here, which was a great thing.

Who even wants to face Austin at all? It’s just hell, to the point where I can’t cooperate at all.

“Milla, my child, are you fine? Did Alpha Austin harm you in any way?” She came and sat in front of me, putting her soft hand on my forehead.

I strongly disliked my parents for allowing me to be with Austin, even though I loved Shawn, and I refused to talk to them no matter what.

Now that I have this new life, having my mom’s hand on my forehead just brings warmth inside my body.

“My child, I know you don’t want to accept him, but this is the Moon Goddess’ choice for you, and you need to accept it; you can’t make the Moon Goddess mad at you, you know that, my sweet daughter.” She hugged me, seeing my state, and I just snuggled into my mom’s embrace.

I can’t; I know she is right; this is what is written in my fate, but I already have another life, which means this time I can rewrite my fate. Isn’t that why the Moon Goddess gave me a chance?

So I can prove myself and not let anyone hurt me.

“I know, Mom,” I tried hard to keep my voice in check, not wanting to cry. Just being in my mother’s arms after so long filled my heart with pain and warmth.

“I am sorry, my child. I know you can’t be with someone without love, but the Moon Goddess always gives the right person. Look at your father and me, how we have a great relationship. You can see for yourself that it’s not a bad thing,” she explained as she kissed my forehead. Tears started falling from my eyes, leaving me shattered. At that moment, she kissed me again.

“I understand, Mom, but I just can’t. He is insane”,

But everyone knows the rumours, so she had to believe me. Why would I lie when this is the well-known truth?

I can try my best, even if I have to go to Austin. I am not going before I ensure my safety, knowing anything could happen to him in my life.

“Don’t cry, Milla,” she tried to pat my back, seeing how my face was drenched in tears.

“I can’t, Mom; I am scared; I just can’t; he even tried to force me here in my pack; how can I believe he is not going to do anything bad? You know how terrible he is; we all know this; this is why the Moon Goddess hates me so much, that she has to give me someone who has no heart other than him being alive on it,” I exclaimed. I felt like a good drama queen, didn’t I?

Why didn’t I think of this before? I could have done the same in my past life, but I didn’t because I was in love with Shawn. I always fought against Austin instead of considering that I also have Alpha blood.

And my parents could have done many things for me if I had played the victim like I am now, so who said they would not be on my side? I was foolish not to use that strategy before, but that’s not the case now.

“Milla, you know I can’t bear to see you hurt; what did he do? Tell me, my dear, did he harm you in any way?” she asked, her concerned face turning into an angry one.

This is what I wanted. My mom is someone who is always soft-hearted, but when it comes to me and my brother, she doesn’t behave that way.

She can’t stand to see someone hurting her kids; this is what I forgot before. Now it’s going to be interesting.

“Mom, he tried to force himself on me. I love Shawn. How can I be intimate with someone I don’t even know? Even if he is my mate, wouldn’t it be better if he tried to understand me? I am already willing to leave the love of my life for him. How can he be so heartless and not even comprehend what he is doing to me? I am scared of him, and this is not right. I don’t want to be near him,” I said, clenching my fist, trying to show how scared I was and how real this was.

I could see worry and anger in my mom’s eyes. This is the key; it’s something very necessary, knowing my mom loves me more than anyone.

Or, I should say, my whole family loves me and treats me like a princess, but I spent two years in hell because of my love for Shawn.

They don’t accept the love I had for Shawn; it’s not like I slept with him, but I was so deeply in love with him that I thought he felt the same way. I even wanted to give me my virginity on my eighteenth birthday.

But that didn’t happen because of how Austin took me with him, claiming he was my mate when I didn’t even have a wolf, and marking me at an age where I didn’t even need to take on responsibilities.

He ruined it, and now I am seventeen again, so why not prioritise things that are important to me?

I can appeal to my family to support me, which they would if I didn’t choose Shawn.

Because everyone in my family and this pack believes that no matter what, you can’t fall in love with someone who is not your mate.

But can’t they see how I had no wolf when Austin claimed me as his mate, and even when I turned 18, then 19, I didn’t get my wolf due to Shawn and Shayna feeding me something that hindered my abilities?

I still had one year to get my wolf, but I got mated to a man who is no less than a beast, and I don’t want to ruin my life under him; that’s a big no for me.

I can gain some powers and strength before I have to spend my life with such a terrible man, right? That would also give me time to take revenge if both bastards betrayed me.

“What the hell, how dare he try to force himself on my princess?” I heard a deep voice raging inside the room and saw my dad standing with my brother beside him, who is six years older than me.

He looked furious too, and I remembered how we fought the last time I saw him, resulting in him slapping me during one of the biggest ceremonies where Alphas gather with their families to celebrate.

And Austin took me with him; Shawn went there; that got me all worked up, and I tried to cause a scene.

Shawn is the Beta of the fire pack, and as he said, he just wants to marry me and then kill me so he can take over my pack.

But did he forget that my brother Micky is still alive? How can he become an Alpha when Micky is the heir? That’s absurd, or maybe he has a plan to eliminate Micky and my family from his path. If he could kill me, killing my family wouldn’t be a problem, right?

Somehow, Austin saved me from Shawn; he married me and claimed me, which kept Shawn away from me, no matter how much I tried to bring him into my life. But I was still deeply in love, so due to my foolishness, I might be losing my parents. Who knows what it could do to me?

“Tell me one thing, Milla. Are you sure? You’re not lying because of that f*****g Beta guy you had a crush on,” Micky asked me with a stern look, which somehow scared me; he was using his Alpha tone on me.

How can I not be scared when I am just seventeen and he is twenty-three with so much power? He is the heir to one of the biggest packs that came after Austin’s pack.

“You’re scaring her, Micky,” my mom tried to calm me as she scolded him.

“That’s right, Rina is right, you can’t scare Milla like this, Micky,” my dad scolded him.

Micky has always been stern and strict, no matter how much he cares, but he is just so protective that sometimes I feel suffocated in his presence.

“I am not trying to sugarcoat it like you both are; we just can’t trust her words. We know how much she loves that cheap guy who isn’t even worthwhile, and you both think Austin won’t do anything about it. When he found out she was his mate at the party, she openly announced to everyone that she had a lover, and that made him angry. We all know how possessive werewolves are when it comes to their mates. And Alphas are even more possessive. We can’t stop him, right?” Micky explained.

I could see why he was so angry because of the scene I caused at the party. I remember that day when I met Austin for the first time. I created a huge scene, which made Austin force me. But today, I was devastated because I tried to handle it without provoking him.

As I regained my memories, it kept me safe, but how could I explain everything? I couldn’t change in a few seconds, so I had to come up with a convincing excuse or else I would lose my last hope too.

“Milla, tell the truth; you know I hate it when you try to lie to me. This is not a game; we’re talking about Austin Park here; he’s not someone to be taken lightly.”
