Chapter one:
Sold Out.
It's a New Dawn at Blood Moon Pack
Located in the middle of bustling and charming downtown Houston Texas. The Alpha's quarters have 2 ancient stone walls with carvings that glisten in the moonlight.
The heart of Lucy stood with uncertain eyes in front of the great doors of Alpha Adams's quarters. Anxiety rubbed her face in the mud. She wished for the ground to swallow her at this moment.
When the huge doors creaked open, Lucy found herself in a large hall decorated with luxurious decorations as she was ushered in by one of the guards.
"You should wait here. Don't step an inch further. Alpha Adams will join you soon." The guard said to Lucy
Ruthless Alphas with their wolf-like faces in elegant robes were moving and their eyes were fixed on her. It was clear that her arrival caused great excitement.
"The new Omega is finally here.
I wonder where she emerged from. Ew! She looks so unkempt. I guess she fell from the sky." A slave gossiped with another.
"You can say that again.
Would you blame her? Isn't it obvious she's a reject? I heard that her aunt personally sold her. So pathetic."
As they gossiped, a tall, terrifying figure approached Lucy and made her more scared. It was no other person than Alpha Adams himself, his eyes scanning her with passion.
"Hmm! Quite fascinating. Not exactly what I heard about you though. I guess you must be the new slave they told me about right?" he said in a low but commanding tone to send tiny shivers down Lucy's spine.
Lucy shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper. - "Yes, sir."
The lips of Alpha Adams curled in a malicious smile. "I won't like to be addressed like that. Call me Alpha Adams. Is that clear?." He set the record straight.
She hesitantly put her hand on his and he gently squeezed. "Lucy," she answered, her voice louder this time. His flickering gaze did not leave her, and at that moment Lucy felt the weight of the attention of others in the room. Whispers and whispers filled the air as they watched the interaction that ensued between Lucy and Adams.
"Welcome to Blood Moon Pack. I hope you enjoy your stay here. You will see that life here can be... a bit difficult for starters. But..do not be dismayed," Adams assured emphatically. It wasn't enough to cast the spirit of anxiety off Lucy.
"However, there's a need for you to adapt quickly if you want to survive in this pack. Sluggishness won't be tolerated here. Look around you and you'll discover that this place is not a playground for kids. Are we clear now?"
Before she could answer, Alpha Adams turned and walked away, leaving her among the curious onlookers.
"Come with me to your cabin and stop acting like a dummy. Be smart ." One of the Omegas told her. He took her to a secluded cabin near the palace.
At this point, Lucy's heart realized the depth of her unpleasant situation. She was a stranger in this pack, an object of ridicule.
************
In the hall of the palace, Lucy struggled with domestic chores. She thought to herself and whispered, "These days have been pretty difficult for me lately. Other slaves, including the guards, hate me.- They say that I am weak."
"Did you see that Lucy is engaged in the various tasks again today? She is useless.
She shouldn't be here." - said one of the slaves.
"Yes, and she is just an outcast, too. I still can't understand why the Alpha chose to accept her here. Argh! She disgusts me!" Another slave answered.
Lucy saw them looking straight at her.
She knew they were gossiping about her and thought about reporting it. "That's a terrible idea. Reporting them won't change anything, they'll never trust an outcast like me." She said to herself and rubbished the thoughts. No one will believe her anyway.
The loud voice of the palace guard returned Lucy from her thoughts. "The Alpha wants you in his palace immediately!"
. Lucy was so scared that she dropped the mop and quickly followed the guard.
"Your Majesty, may you reign forever.
You invited me. How can I be of service to my Alpha." Lucy's voice trembles as she announces her arrival to Adams.
"Yes, I did. I received multiple reports that you've failed to fulfill your duties as a slave. Do you know your reason for being here? "
- "Yes, sir. I'm here to serve you. I'm trying my best to fit in. It's not been easy settling down here. I'm getting used to the palace now." answered Lucy, bowing her head.
"No slave or mate of mine will be lazy, I hope you know that." These thunderous words sent tiny shivers down her spine.
Alpha Adams's utterances were rather confusing for Lucy. He recognized her as his mate but still rejected her. Instead, he seemed to crave her beauty while keeping his distance.
They ended the conversation and Lucy went to the kitchen to engage in some chores. while doing dishes, a slave named Ruby came to her. She was a fat omega with a scarred face and Lucy had seen her bully other slaves.
"What do you want from me?" - asked Lucy, aware of her intention.
Ruby approached her, her voice a low growl. “You think you're special because the alpha noticed you, don't you? Well, let me give you a piece of advice, stranger. You are nothing in this palace." He taunted her.
Lucy clenched her fists and decided not to show weakness. "I don't need your damn advice. Go away from me.," she replied.
Ruby laughed darkly. "We shall see. I got my eyes on you.." She left, leaving Lucy with a sense of foreboding, she couldn't help but wonder at the mysteries surrounding her new life in the Blood Moon Pack.
************
Lucy was alone in her room thinking about the alpha and why he hated her so much even though he knew she was his chosen mate, then she heard someone knock softly on her door.
She wondered who was knocking at that time of the night, and despite her fear, he opened the door.
"Your Majesty! - Why are you here and why are you dressed like a slave? Should I be scared?" She freaked out after seeing Alpha Adams disguised as an Omega at the slave's quarters.
"I have come to taste my chosen companion
. And that I shall accomplish before my departure"
Adams extended his hand to him without hesitation and consent, and Lucy retreated in surprise. She tried to push him but he was too strong.
"Don't even dare to stop me.
Do you know what will happen to you if you try to stop me?". He threatened her.
His eyes darkened with lust. She understood that he did not intend to treat her with respect and care.
