**NIANDRA**
It felt like strings were attached to my heart and those strings were pulled strongly at this very moment. My wolf which i was surprised that i could see now at the back of my head howled in pain. As she sat back resignedly, she wasn’t making the pain get any better.
"Let's return to the palace." Alpha Amos ordered his guards who stood on alert as he swerved almost acting like I was the only one that felt like fainting due to the severing of ties.
He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly halted. If I wasn't in much pain already, I would have assumed he wanted to reconsider and take me back as his mate but I couldn't think of that in this state. All I could feel right now was pain, hatred and despair for the remaining of humanity. They were all wicked and dreadful.
I had used the way I had seen other mates behave around each other to believe that meeting your mate was a thing of joy. Well this just explained to me that, it wasn't always as rosy to me as it was for everyone else.
I was out casted after all. How would I have expected to get anything good in this life when my entire existence had played out that I was better off dead?
Alpha Amos swerved slowly to peer at me for the last time, I guess and I returned the gaze with a long look of hatred. He didn't deserve any form of respect from me as he didn't act like the superhero alpha he was supposed to be.I guess he's the one giving everyone the heart to despise me because if the leader could, why won't his members follow suit?
None of them deserved my respect any longer! Not my uncle, not his family and definitely not a low, conceited Alpha.
"Just leave! Leave while your pride is still in check. I assure that you don't even have to give any explanations for your actions—for rejecting me—" I yelled as the tears I had tried to restrain let loose, streaming down my face.
"Bring her with us and lock her up in the dungeon." He instructed one of his guards.
No, not again. What did I say to warrant this?
"Make sure she's punished severely, such disobedient fool." My uncle snickered and with a psychotic smile at the edge of my lips and the beads of sweat that surrounded my forehead, coupled with the pain and tears; I glared at him
"Don't call my decision over my life disobedience! Are you not the ones that should be addressed with that title? You make a mess and you try to send a fool to clean it up, who's the fool?!" I half yelled but the thing that happened next was something I never expected.
I was punched! I licked my lips only to taste a metallic substance and then I knew I was bleeding.
"You have no right to talk back!!!" Someone hollered and I looked up to realize it was the pack's gamma, Aldawolf. He was actually the person who slapped me.
I was dragged by the hair back to the pack house.Thrown into the dungeon and was severely punished just like my uncle had requested.
Starved! No food or water for almost a week. I became a complete shadow of myself as my blonde platinum hair turned dirty brown.The only thing I've ever witnessed since I came into the dungeon was nothing but darkness!
Nights of tremor! I feel my insurgence brought me into this. Screams of despair and pain.I had to live? I can't die today! Survival is the target and I would surely survive this!
"You've been assigned to work as a slave in the pack house henceforth!" I heard Alpha Amos’s voice right inside of my cell blurt out and I squinted my eyes to stare at him for what seemed like eternity though it's just been a few minutes.
Its either I had stayed in the dungeon long enough that I was hallucinating because there's no way this is real, I hadn't even noticed when he had walked in here and orking as a slave in the pack house?
Nah, staying at the dungeon is far better than that. At this point, I'm certain that I'm doomed, No soothsayer needs to clarify this.
"I believe i didn't hear you properly, could you please rephrase that?" I requested staring at Alpha Vixen daringly, he was the mate that rejected us and he didn't deserve our respect.
As much as I tried to forget, my wolf, Nia tended to remind me all the time and though I had no choice or option in what the Alpha decided; I really wished that I would have been given a tiny room for my own decision.
Since the Alpha had commanded that my body was at least taken care of before I resumed duties as I was brought out of the dungeon, his orders were carried out and I wasn't looking as pitiful as before. Days passed and weeks flew by and I began getting used to this servant life.
"Wake up sleepyhead, you're too lazy for my liking. There's a big occasion today so we have to be quick and efficient." Those were the words I heard after I felt something like water pour unto my skin and I woke up furiously.
Blinking my eyes repeatedly to get used to the light in the room, I aroused and hastily began going over duties.By the time I got to the kitchen to wash the dishes, it was already filled up with maids whispering.
"Today is such a big day, we're all in trouble today." One of the maids whispered and i mentally went over my brain to think of what occasion we were supposed to be having.
Wait a minute, it's my birthday... Isn't it? My eighteenth birthday. Anyways there's no way in hell they are celebrating me so who were they celebrating?
"It's the Alpha's celebration night. Gosh, you're going to be meeting a lot of grim and evil alpha's and too bad, you're on the list to serve wine. That's your league to go over there now before the head maid notices you're not there." One of the maids I was closest to whispered and my heart skipped beats. My entire body shuddered at the thought of serving at table that all Alpha's of all kind, both cruel and evil.
Anyways, I was able to summon courage and go to the venue, not like i had a choice anywaus and soon it was night time.
"It's no doubt that you're a trouble market in this pack which is why you'd be deprived of many things." An elder spoke up hurriedly as I poured his wine into his glass and I stopped midway, biting the insides of my tongue to stop the swear word from proceeding out of my mouth.
I know I'm not troublesome so believe me when I say I have no idea of what they are talking about.The atmosphere was stale as I poured the wine into each's cup. Going slowly and gracefully to please them, avoiding their eyes.
"Thank you." One of the Alpha's said slowly as I poured the wine into his cup which caused me to jerk up and stare at me. Alpha's never thanked anyone, at least the few I've been around.
As our eyes held contact, my belly began fluttering. My wolf was all tingly and I realized what it all meant because I've felt it once.
This Alpha right here is my second chance mate.
