five days

1506 Words
Raven pov. It had been after five agonizing days of my life when I was finally released from the dungeons. Five days of pain and torture. I was fed with wolfsbane everyday. The poison weakened me and prevented me from shifting to my wolf. “ You want to shift to your wolf? Impossible. You don't deserve to be like us.” Those were the words Michelle screamed at me everytime she shoved that poison down my throat. With a weakened body, I could not manage to awaken my beast. “ You will always remain below my daughter. I won't allow you to take my daughter’s position like your mother did to me.” I didn't stop contemplating what Michelle meant by that. I shook my head, dispelling my thoughts. I continued to comb my locks as I went over the plan I prepared for my big day. Since my plan of escaping on my birthday was ruined,I decided to take my chances during the party arranged for me by my father. “ Don't come back here without a man tonight. Either way,you will leave this pack as soon as possible. It's either you find yourself a mate or I'll be forced to banish you.” My father had roared at me earlier. He didn't care if the said man would be nice to me. All he wanted was to get rid of me. I was like an eye sore to him. Lost in my thoughts, I didn't hear when the door to my room was pushed open and Morgan sauntered in. Her gaze swept through the crumpled space and her nose lifted in disgust. I scanned her appearance through the cracked vanity mirror. Realising that I was watching her, she plastered a fake smile on her face. “I'm here to confirm if you need anything else from my old stack of things.” Morgan said with her smile widening. I could see she only came to make fun of me. Even on the so- called important day for me,I didn't get a new dress to wear at the party. Morgan offered me one of her old dresses as a way of showing me that I only deserved what she didn't want. “I'm good. Thank you.” I replied. I didn't have the strength to argue with or entertain her. “ Of course you wouldn't want anything else. I'm starting to think you don't even deserve my discarded stuff.” Morgan scoffed. She walked towards me, stopping behind my chair. “ I want to see if your mate will be sad to see you be taken by another man and not do anything.” She whispers. “ By the way,on your birthday,I threatened him and that's why he threw you to the wolves. Exciting, right?” Morgan asked before bursting out laughing like a maniac. “ I'll see you around, sister.” She said before strolling out of my room, leisurely. *** I took a deep breath and calmed my nerves as I approached the hall where the party was already in motion. To avoid any suspicion, I was set to leave with nothing except the few dollars stashed insíde my bra. Since I didn't shift and my wolf remained dormant after being suppressed,I didn't have a distinct scent. Without a scent, escaping was bound to be easy without being tracked down. That was, if I managed to bypass the patrol warriors stationed at the pack border. I took a deep breath before stepping inside the ball room. I almost tripped on my heels but I managed to balance. I heaved a relieved sigh after escaping a tragedy. Embarrassing my father in any way meant a round over beating. I dreaded that. My eyes scanned the room. Although the party was for me to select a mate among the eligible unmated males, other unmated females were also present. I still couldn't believe that inorder to get rid of me,my father organised a party to find a mate for me. Every female attending was dressed to impress and I doubted with so many beautiful ladies, anyone would notice me. I didn't want to be noticed. I was in no mood to entertain anyone as I waited for my time to make my exit. To distract myself,I picked a glass of apple juice from a passing waitress and started to sip on it. I was enjoying the borrowed serenity when a familiar nauseating scent hit me. “ Hi gorgeous. It's your special day today. Why are you here,all by yourself?” Alpha Kane,one of my father's friends, asked me. I fought the urge to scrunch my nose and walk away. Alpha Kane was old enough to be my father and had divorced his tenth mate. His reputation of being a womaniser was spread throughout his pack and the neighbouring ones. “ I'm…searching.” I replied and sipped my drink as I Inwardly prayed for him to walk away and leave me alone. “ You don't need to pay attention to any other male. I have already chosen you as my mate. This party was just a formality. Your father already offered you to me.” Alpha Kane declared and I felt air leave my lungs. What in the name of the moon Goddess did he mean by that? My father already offered me to the pervert? I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came. “ Here,” he said and passed me a glass of alcohol. “ We should celebrate. After tonight,I'll be your mate. I can't wait to have you in my bed.” The man declared. I looked at the man I was offered to and felt sick to the stomach. “ I'm sorry but I don't drink.” I declined politely. Of course,my refusal didn't sit well with Alpha Kane. “ b***h, if I say you drink that's exactly what you do. You don't get the right to refuse me.” Alpha Kane snarled at me, attracting the attention of the people. “ What's happening here?” My sister's smooth voice resonated as she approached us with Alex in tow. “ This b***h doesn't know what's good for her and refuses my kind gesture.” Alpha Kane complained to Morgan. “ Raven,you can't go around offending everyone. Especially not your future husband.” Morgan stated in a high voice. It felt like she was secretly letting everyone know that I belonged to Alpha Kane. “ That's right. I suggest you apologise and drink that glass of whiskey to show your sincerity.” Alpha Kane seconds. I am about to refuse when, “do you want the Alpha to learn about your behaviour of disrespecting his friends? Can you afford the consequences?” Morgan threatened me. Not wanting to cause myself any trouble as I awaited the perfect time to escape,I downed the contents of the glass and excused myself. I took a few steps before I started feeling funny. I turned around to face Morgan and saw a smirk on both hers and Alpha Kane’s faces. My heart picked its rate just as my body started heating up. I felt an uncomfortable feeling coil in the pits of my stomach, sending tremors straight to my lady bits I didn't need a seer to tell me that those two joined hands and drugged me. Realising the predicament I was thrust into ,I staggered outside. I could not stay in a room full of unmated males with my body releasing an enticing smell to be mated. I stumbled and fell severally as I struggled to rush back to my room. I moaned painfully as the urge to seek a release intensified. My eyes burned with unshed tears. With my blurred vision,I ended up stumbling on something warm. A dangerous growl resounded in my ears but I was too lost to fight or run. The only thing I could do was beg for help. When I opened my eyes again,it was already morning. My eyes scanned the unfamiliar environment as my mind travelled back to the last memories before I lost it. My cheeks burn with embarrassment. “ Reminiscing about last night?” A heavy masculine voice spoke from beside me and I jumped in fright. My eyes then registered the piece of art lying lazily on the bed and the realisation struck me hard. “ Last night…” I trailed off, not knowing what to say next. “ I helped you.” He replied and I nodded. “ Thank you. I'll get going.” I announced as I started pushing myself up to leave the bed. “ I'll break your legs if you move an inch.” The man growled and I stiffened,halting automatically. “ You have something that belongs to me. I knotted you last night.” He announced and I frowned in confusion. “ You are most probably carrying my pups now. I am in much need of a breeder. You can ask for anything in return for delivering my pups.”
