Alpha's Regret: A True Luna Comeback

Celine’s POV The searing pain caused by the meeting of the silver chain against my skin was unbearable. I could feel my flesh burning and at the same time ripping away. “ Arhhhh!” I muffled a cry. They had placed a gag in my mouth and put a blindfold around my eyes but my tears had begun to soak the blindfold. “ For some reason, I thought you were invincible,” Mother laughed hysterically as she mocked. She had always enjoyed passing me through all forms of hellish torture. “ She thinks she's all pretty, walking gracefully in the streets,” Odessa scoffed. She hated me the most in our family. “ Don't worry, I'll make sure to deal with her. Something to lower that ego of hers would do,” Mother said. I heard the sound of the whip hard against my back, I couldn't take it anymore - I fell to the floor, whimpering in pain. I could feel my blood oozing out of me. “ I think this will be enough to teach her a lesson,” Mother said. I heard her footsteps go farther and farther. “ But mom!” Odessa tried stopping her mom. “ I'm not satisfied yet, she keeps attracting the attention of all my potential mates,” she said. “ We'll stop her from going outside then. We can't just kill her you know, that would be a crime in the pack. After all, she is a member of the pack, and unless by royal order she can't be killed.” “ What a total killjoy,” Odessa sighed. “ Come on now, let's get going. Dinner time is soon approaching,” Mother clapped her hand and Odessa followed her obediently. I could hear both their footsteps fade away and once I heard the door to the basement slam shut, I knew they were gone - at least for now. I began to cry, I had been holding back most of my tears while they were here. I couldn't show them fully how vulnerable I was in their presence, everything about them terrified me. I lay on my side curled up in excruciating pain, quivering. I heard the door open after minutes of quiet, “ Who's there?” My voice sounded anything but rigid. I had struggled my way out of the gag. The only answer I got was the growling of my stomach - I was famished. “ It's me, dear sister,” Kendrick laughed hysterically. “ Did you miss me?” He questioned, his footsteps drawing closer. I didn't know who I hated more, Odessa or Kendrick but whatever the case was, I dreaded him more. He was perverted and eccentric. I decided to stay quiet. “ Oh, come on. It's no fun if you don't answer,” he said making a child-like voice. “ Or do you need me to make you speak?” He snickered. “ No, you don't have to do that. I'm listening,” I said in panic. “ That's a good girl right there,” he patted my head, helping to take off my blindfolds. “ Your belly is telling a lot about your situation,” he remarked. My stomach wouldn't stop growling. “ Mhmm,” I just nodded my head. I was grateful enough to be able to see and he was yet to do anything crazy so... “ I can help you with food,” he volunteered in a soft voice. “ Y-You can?” My eyes widened. “ Yes but the only condition is that you let me feed you,” he had a dastardly smile on his face. I knew what he wanted. “ Forget about it,” I cussed. “ I like my women feisty but it's a shame I can't have you since you're my stepsister, it wouldn't look good for our family,” he said his hand lost in the caressing my body. His eyes glistened with lust as he passionately caressed my thighs. “ Don't you dare touch me, you bastard!” I yelled at him defensively even if I was quite aware that I could not harm him, chained or unchained. Being an Omega werewolf was the worst. “ Speaking of bastard, you are the one I should be calling that. Calling you my stepsister is a bit inappropriate since you're indeed just an orphan - we have no relation,” he said getting to his feet. “ Well since you don't want me to feed you, you might as well stay hungry throughout tonight,” he turned his back on me before leaving. I just let my only hope of eating for today slip past my hands. I lay down in the dark on an empty stomach wondering how my life would have turned out if my parents hadn't abandoned me. Mother and father had always said that my parents gave me up because nobody wanted me and they were benevolent enough to take me in as theirs, so I think I was supposed to be grateful. I didn't know if I should. “ This sucks,” I said between belly cramps. I forced my eyes shut and tried to concentrate on how my life would have been if my birth parents were my parents and in a matter of minutes, I drugged from consciousness to unconsciousness as the claws of sleep had taken hold of me. ___________________________________________ “ Celine! Celine!!” I heard my name being called followed by a gentle rocking. What was going on? Was it morning yet? Even if it was, I didn't want to get up - not now. “ Get up you lazy pig!” A good amount of water went baptizing my face, making me sit up, my heart beating rapidly. “ You're finally awake, for a moment I thought you were dead,” Mother remarked. “ Is there a problem?” My eyes darted to and fro the room before resting on the family's maid. She was the only one I knew would answer. “ Well, a problem depends on how you look at things,” she smiled awkwardly. “ Oh, don't beat around the bush,” mother shoved her aside. “ You have a suitor,” she said plainly and my eyes widened. “ But, I ...” “ No buts,” she silenced me. “ Get her ready, we can't let her go out looking horrible,” she instructed the maid before leaving. In a matter of minutes, I was brought to the living room dressed relatively well though my family would never spend effort on what I wear but there was no man, only a woman I hadn't recognized dressed in expensive silk. “ There she is,” my dad beamed at me as he beckoned for me to come over to his side. It was rare. “ She's as pretty as he said she is,” the noblewoman remarked though not in awe, it seemed more like it was out of contempt. “ Celine is probably one of the prettiest girls you'd ever see. I hope she's to your liking?” Father talked. “ To my liking?” She scoffed as she sipped from her cup of tea. “ Do you think any woman would enjoy coming to buy ladies for her man?” She glared at Dad and did I just hear buy? “ My bad, I spoke out of turn, Your Highness,” Dad apologized nervously. Your Highness? “ Father, I don't get it. What's going on here? Who's getting sold?” I trembled as the questions escaped my lips. “ Oh, you didn't inform her?” She glanced back at my parents. “ We were going to eventually but we didn't want to startle her, after all, she's still young,” Dad interceded. “ Very well then, here's the money you asked for,” her servant dropped three bags of gold coins on the glass table. “ I doubled it because Alpha Keenda asked me to,” she added. “ You're more than generous, Your Highness,” Mother sucked up to her. “ Enough with the flattery. Guards seize her,” she pointed in my direction, and before I could even react, her guards had chained me. “ What's going on? Father?!” I revolted, struggling and trying to free myself from their grip as they carried me away. “ Alpha Keenda found you fit in his eyes to be the one to carry his child and support his lustful desires. Who are we to refuse the Alpha’s request?” Father smiled greedily. His greed was reeking. “ And just so you don't get your hopes up, he’s yet to get any of his s*x slaves pregnant so you might have to be spreading every day every day,” Odessa riled. “ Mr. James Castor, I advise you to take your daughter if not, she might not have a tongue to speak afterward,” the noble lady was intimidating. “ I'll make sure she doesn't say anything blasphemous,” Dad pleaded. “ I don't want to go anywhere! Let go of me!” I let out a shriek as I struggled. “ Father, don't sell me! I'll be good, I promise,” I cried and begged at the same time. I didn't want to be a s*x slave especially not one for Alpha Keenda, everyone knows the rumor of how evil, cold, and heartless he is. “ I can't stand her tears and scream, silence her,” the noble lady instructed. I felt a bang at the back of my head and my crying and screaming stopped as the pain took over. My head dropped to the side as everything turned black.
