CHAPTER ONE
The Rejected.
The moon was low in the sky at night and it made Blood Moon Pack look strange with its glowing light.
The Pack had shadows that moved around, hiding the secrets that happened inside. In a dark room, Carol sat in the corner, her eyes tired and sad from all the suffering she had endured for many years.
"Why did I end up here? Why is fate so cruel to me? " She whispered to herself.
She couldn't think because she heard the loud footsteps of the guards hovering in the Pack. They were the ones who made sure she couldn't escape. As they walked past her, they looked at her with a lot of dislike, which made her remember the harsh truth she had to deal with every day.
"See her, always so pitiful." The guard said mockingly.
"Carol, the rejected, or let's say the Alpha's undesirable partner," another guard chuckled in a teasing way.
Carol controlled her trembling lips and stopped herself from crying. Her aunt sold her to the Alpha as a slave, treating her like an animal.
Caroline's life had suddenly become very difficult and she had to agree to what was happening.
She softly said, "I will keep enduring, no matter what happens. This is my destiny"
Alpha Adonis stood near the big window, looking out at the night with a bright moon. He appeared very strong, but he was struggling inside. He was aware of the truth - that Carol was his mate, selected by Selene, the goddess of the moon. But he couldn't bring himself to agree to be with her.
Adonis quietly muttered to himself out of annoyance. "She's a special present from the moon goddess, but why Carol? Don't I deserve a better mate?"
She was pretty much okay for him but her background is a total turn-off. Adonis had a big struggle inside himself that kept going just like the wolves he led.
The next day, Carol was in the Pack gardens taking care of special moon flowers that only bloom when touched by the moon. The task was the only thing that made her feel better and briefly made her forget about the harshness of her life.
"See who is talking with the flowers. Maybe she believes that they are her friends." The guard made fun of her.
"At least, they don't criticize or mock me". Carol replied with a strong attitude.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became very tense when a bunch of important werewolf nobles came closer. They were being led by Evansville, who was one of the most powerful of all slaves in the Pack.
"Carol, the Alpha's embarrassment. Hey, girl, what does it feel like to be completely useless." Evansville mocked her.
Carol's heart beat faster. She couldn't get away from the suffering, even in the gardens.
"I am more valuable than you think," she whispered to herself with so much confidence.
Suddenly, Adonis showed up and everyone stopped talking because he was so possessive and bossy. He had been watching from a distance, unable to ignore the mean treatment towards his mate any longer.
"Stop it. "If you disrespect her again, you'll be dealt with," Adonis said in a commanding manner.
Evansville and the others went back, leaving Carol shaking but feeling a little bit hopeful. She couldn't even look at Adonis in the face because she was afraid of the different emotions she saw in his eyes.
"Carol, you shouldn't have to go through this. I understand that you are angry with me for turning you down." He apologized.
"It's fine. It wasn't your fault. I'll just go to the kitchen and get something done," she walked away and trembled like a hen drenched by the rain.
As she arrived in the kitchen, someone approached her. He was a big and strong werewolf with a scarred face, and she had witnessed him being very cruel to other slaves without showing any mercy.
"What do you want." Carol inquired, unsure of what he wanted.
He moved closer, speaking in a low and threatening tone. "Do you feel important just because the Alpha paid attention to you? Well, let me give you some advice, you little outsider. In this Pack, you are not important or valued."
Carol squeezed her hands tightly, making a decision not to display any signs of being weak. "I don't need your advice. "
The man laughed creepily.
"We will see about that,"
As he went away, leaving Carol feeling worried, she couldn't stop thinking about the unknown things that were part of her new life in the blood moon pack.
*********
Carol was all alone in her room, pondering why the Alpha disliked her so much even though he knew she was his chosen partner. Suddenly, she heard a gentle knock on her door.
She was surprised when she heard knocking late at night. She was scared but still managed to open the door.
"My Alpha, why are you here and dressed like a slave?" She exclaimed in the utmost confusion.
"I want you tonight!" Adonis commanded.
"I am here to f**k my chosen mate." He whispered into her ears.
"All you have to do is to accept me as your mate only then will I give in to your request." She replied.
"Then I will have to take you by force". The Alpha muttered succinctly.
"I am not seeking your permission here, I am ordering you." He dragged Carol close to him, removed her boobs, and tucked her n*****s into his mouth. Carol consented to him for some minutes, thinking of a way to stop him.
After minutes of sucking her breast, he brought his p***s out and tried to penetrate her v****a. She took some courage and hit him. Then she ran out of the room leaving the Alpha in pain.
Anto, the Alpha's sister saw Carol speaking with a man, but she wasn't sure who that was.
