“Dan is here. He’s ready to take you home after the council declares you his wife,” my father informed me when he found me unpacking my bag in my room.
“He’s taking me to his house tonight?” I was a bit confused because I thought I would get married to him in the morning.
“This is the only way to conceal your pregnancy from the people. If people find out you’re pregnant, it would create a bad image for me, and I don’t want that. Not before Seraphina’s wedding to Knox.”
“I am your daughter—” I stopped what I was doing and leaned toward him. “How could you do this to me? Why are you punishing me?”
“We’ve talked about this, Estelle, and you agreed. We both know there’s no other way for us to do this than for you to marry Dan. If you were smart, you wouldn’t have gotten married and pregnant with that boy in New York.”
“Don’t you care about me? Are you doing this because of your reputation or because you’re embarrassed by having a daughter who can’t turn?”
“I have done everything to keep you safe!” he snapped. “The least you could’ve done was to obey me!”
“Don’t I have a right to dictate my life, father?!” I sneered. “You’ve been protecting me from the world all my life when you could’ve protected me from yourself!”
“Get ready because you’re leaving with Dan tonight,” he answered before he turned around and walked away.

My father didn’t wait to marry me off to Dan. That night, after I had returned home, he married me off to him before the council and declared me his wife because he didn’t want our pack to know I was pregnant.
I felt stripped of the little dignity and pride I had left. Leaving with Dan as my husband felt like a punishment for refusing to marry Knox when my father asked me.
“You’re my wife now, Estelle. Cheer up and let the people see how happy you will be as my bride. Our union will be the greatest in the history of our pack. Dan Blackwood is married to the daughter of Leonard Fenwick, the Alpha of the Moon Howlers’ pack. This is amazing!” He chuckled.
I swallowed hard as the car drove off toward his house. His housekeeper ran to grab my luggage from the car and took it inside.
“Hurry! It shouldn’t take the entire night to offload two luggage bags!” he sneered as we hopped out of the car.
I looked around the house and felt a shiver down my spine, letting me know that being Dan’s wife would be the wildest ride of my life.
My father knew my fears when I refused to marry Knox, but marrying me off to Dan seemed as if he was punishing me for the same thing he had been protecting me from all my life.
“Take off your clothes, Estelle, and let me see you.” He giggled when we arrived in his bedroom and closed the door.
I placed my handbag on the bed and sighed as I turned to him, feeling my stomach twisting. Gosh, I couldn’t imagine myself sleeping with him.
He was old and had wrinkly skin. He had two sons and one daughter, who were older than I was.
His first wife passed away ten years back during our pack’s attack, and I was just sixteen.
If anyone had told me Dan would be my husband, I would’ve sworn on my life that my father would never allow it.
“I know my father arranged this marriage because he believes it would be good for me and our pack, but Dan—” I leaned toward him. “I will never share your bed.”
“You’re my wife and would share my bed this instant,” he sneered.
“Over my dead body, Mr. Blackwood. If you want someone to share your bed with, I would advise you to pick anyone among the women who shared your bed before I arrived in your house.” I turned around to take my handbag from the bed when he pushed me and pinned me against the bed, gripping my wrists above my head.
“Very well then, I guess I’ll have you forcefully, and there’s nothing you can do because you belong to me, Estelle. You’re mine and would obey my word. Do you understand?”
“Let me go, Dan!” I sneered, feeling my chest tightening. “You will never be my husband! If you dare force yourself on me, I will curse you and your house. My father will renounce you as his beta!”
“There’s nothing you can do to me, you fool!” he snarled as he tore my dress and removed it while his other hand gripped my hands.
I slipped my hand from his grip and punched him in the face as hard as I could, hoping he would feel the effect and pull away from me, but he got angrier and slapped me on the face.
He started kicking me in the face and body when I fell.
“How dare you raise your hand on your beta?! If your father hadn’t given you to me as a wife, I would have struck you dead!” He roared as he gripped my neck until I could feel his nails digging into my skin.
I could feel his claws scratching me. He was a beta and stronger than I was as an omega. I was pregnant and helpless.
When he had beaten me up, he took off my clothes and put me in bed. He turned me around and groaned as he thrust inside me.
I closed my eyes and counted the seconds he thrust inside me. I cried while he slipped in and out, and when he stopped and lay beside me, I closed my eyes and lay down.
I was dozing off when I felt a warm liquid coming out of my v****a, but for a second, I thought it was from Dan’s orgasm until I slipped my hand between my legs and saw blood.
The horrible realization of the blood gripped my heart, and it skipped a beat. I felt agony ripping through my bones, and I cried.
