Revenge of the Rejected Luna

BREEDER FOR THE ALPHA “Into the cage, I say!” the Gamma shouted, but I held her ground, unmoving. There were shocked faces everywhere! Four other girls, who were captured alongside me, had already entered their cages, waiting to be taken to Alpha Ephrata. Only one of us would be selected as his Breeder. And the rest would be killed. “I don't want to be a Breeder!” I said to the Alpha's men, who were half-enjoying my plight. “You have no f*****g choice,” one of them taunted, and with a resounding slap across her face, he pushed me into the cage. Then he shook his head. “I can't wait for the Alpha to kill you first.” Squeezed up like a ball, I didn't say a word. I was only overwhelmed at how fast things had happened. Today was my 19th birthday and I was the happiest girl on earth. Only for my father to burst into my room with a long face. “Chloe,” he said gravely, “prepare yourself. You're going to meet a very, very special man.” And this was the special man I was going to meet. The Alpha of Ice Stone Pack, a ruthless dictator who cares nothing about your emotions. He was feared by the Alphas of neighboring packs. He was a mafia, a trigger-happy killer. So, what chance did I stand against him? I dunked my head between my thighs as the truck got moving. The other girls around me were sobbing. But I didn't cry. My life was already miserable as it was, death wouldn't be a bad idea. After losing my mom to a brutal death, life had been a living hell for me. My stepmom was the devil herself. Her daughters were demons. And they made sure I never smiled. So, why not just let myself be killed by the Alpha? After a three-hour drive to the Castle, the truck pulled to a stop, and we were hurled out of our cages. Then lined up side to side. Then another car stopped near us. A handsome looking man stepped out of the car and walked towards us. At first, I thought it was the Alpha, but when he introduced himself — “Call me Ezir if you can. I am the Beta, and Ephrata's best friend.” — I shook my head and looked away. He continued: “The Alpha is currently in a business meeting, so I am left with the task of making the choice for him.” His face was proud. I hissed in disgust at his voice and demeanor. Then he finally noticed. “Sorry, do you have a problem?” he asked. I ignored him. The girl closest to me quietly touched me: a warning. But I still ignored the Beta. There was a breathless silence before Ezir stepped closer to me. Placing a finger under my chin, he lifted my face to look at him. “Who the hell are you to hiss while I'm speaking?” he asked calmly. “I am Chloe Jones, the girl who doesn't give a damn about you or your Alpha best friend,” I said, holding his gaze fearlessly. Yes, I did feel fear, but why show it when I'd soon be dead, after all? “Holy s**t,” the girl closest to me gasped. Like lightning, Beta Robert pulled out a pistol and a sound was heard. The girl dropped dead beside me, a red hole in her head. “For one, you don't swear near a Beta,” he said, tucking the smoking gun away, before turning back to me. “And you…” He laughed. That laugh alone made me realize he could be even more wicked than the Alpha. “Have you heard the story of Susan?” he asked, “the Breeder who got eaten alive by rogue wolves?” I nodded. Being an Omega working in the slums, I heard everything. “She was given that hellish fate because she didn't birth the Alpha a male heir in her first pregnancy.” I swallowed hard, not knowing where this was heading. “And for this insult you just gave me and the Alpha, I choose you. You shall be Ephrata's Breeder.” I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. And all my bravery disappeared. Playing before my mind's eye was my foolishness and what it had gotten me into. Beta Robert, who was trying so hard not to end my life there and then, leaned forward towards me. “I don't need to tell you what happens to Breeders who fail,” he said. “And, girl, I am going to personally make you fail. Even if you end up giving birth to a male, I'll take the child away and force the midwives to say it's dead. I, Robert, shall make sure you see hell for the rest of your miserable life. I swear on my ex's pussy.” He turned to his guards. “Take her in to meet the Alpha.” Two mean-looking guards grabbed me. A few steps towards the large gates, I heard gunshots, followed by the other girls dropping dead. I shivered, knowing that I could have been one of them. “If you meet the Alpha,” Robert called out to me, “show him also that you have a mouth that runs. Idiot.” *** Inside the mansion, I was thrown into a completely dark room. Just the darkness of the room was enough to drive one crazy. I had to close my eyes and bury my head on my breasts. The silence. The thoughts that raged through my head. The unknown future lurking in the dark. I was more dead than alive. Then I heard a deep voice from the deepest part of the darkness. “Chloe Jones, step forward.” I jumped and frantically scanned the room and saw nothing. But nobody needed to tell me who owns that voice: Alpha Ephrata!
