2191 Words
The sounds of the moving waters were like music in my ears. It seemed to resonate with peace. I sat at the bank of the river and looked across it. This river was the boundary of the land that was mine. The pack that belonged to my father. Hallow crest pack. My Parent's death, it was something I never wished to remember. But, the memory,like a stain unwilling to be washed away, remained in my head for ages. FLASHBACK.[IN THIRD PERSON] “Prince Liam,you should hurry. I have just received word that rogue wolves attacked your parents on their way from visiting the red moon pack.” A messenger said as he entered into the bedroom of the prince. Liam looked up from his study table. “What do you mean attacked? I was told they were at their residence.What could have made them travel back that night?” Liam asked as he girded himself, preparing himself for physical combat. “Word has it that they were told of the princess’s grave health condition, and with that they decided to hurry home, your mother especially.” The messenger replied. “Gather a few of the elite army. Ready my horse, we leave in five minutes.” Liam said. “I do not see mom and dad anywhere. Where are they?” Liam asked an injured soldier he had found on the road where his parents had been attacked. “The rogues took them. Said something about making examples of them to other Alphas and Lunas, should anybody try to hurt them again.” The injured soldier said, with ragged breathing. Liam shuddered. He knew if he didn't get there in time, he would meet his parents, beaten, or worse still dead. And he couldn’t let that happen. He Jumped on his horse, and rode towards the rogue encampment. As he arrived, he saw his mother and father’s head hanging from a stake. Anger enveloped him and he killed every single rogue that was in that encampment and that was where he gained the nickname ‘omnipotent Alpha.’ After claiming the encampment,I was able to trace where the betrayal had come from,with the help of my beta we were able to find out that it was all a plot by the rogues to lead my parents into deceit by using the princess ailment as a scheme since they were aware of the fact that my mom won't bait an eye to go back to the princess of the red moon pack for she was my Mom's twin child. I wiped out all who had a take in the death of my parents claiming all their encampment which earned me the Omnipotent Alpha. Back from Flashback. Pov: Liam scott. I sighed as the memory of Mother and Father entered into my head. It had been 10 years since they both died,my sister too, and I still couldn’t wash the scene from my head. I sighed again, and I looked at the river. Your highness I heard, I turned toward the direction where I heard my name, ok and behold it was my personal guard, I was about to ask him if he was sent to call me for another tragedy at the kingdom, he beat me to that. Your highness I stumbled upon a Rogue while I was patrolling the northern region of our land, who's passed out. I took her to the palace. What ??? Why will you take a Rogue to the palace after the last incident ?? I fished a large lump of my hair in annoyance. I walked along with him back to the palace into the visitors suite, there was nobody there. I walked into the bedroom. I had just turned towards him thinking it was a prank all along but the looks on his face showed he wasn't lying. What if the Rogue had been a plot onset to have me killed like they did to my parents, I was about walking out of the suite when I stopped in my tracks. I rushed into the bathroom and there she was, I saw a female’s head across the water and I stood up to look at it. It was surely a female, and she seemed to be struggling in the water. But what could a female wolf be doing alone,in the Cliff, that prompted her to be brought into my pack? There was only one reason: And it was because she was a rogue wolf. She managed to struggle. and get out of the water. “Who are you?” I asked and she jerked up and stared at me. Her face, though tattered and bruised, seemed to me like the most beautiful face in the world. The scent in the air changed into a very wonderful fragrance and I wondered where in the world this lovely fragrance was coming from. My wolf began to dance happily. “Mate,mate.” It sang and I turned and stared at the rogue wolf who laid at the edge of the pool. “Surely,she can’t.” I said to my wolf, and he confirmed my fears. “She’s our mate.” I could hear Kavin sing-talk at the back of my mind.For the love of me, was the moon goddess trying to play on my intelligence? I had been praying to the moon goddess to send me my wolf, and she sent me a female rogue?! “Who…?” My beta asked as soon as I entered, carrying the rogue female who happened to be my mate. “A rogue my guard found at the Cliff bottom. I figured she would be of good use to us, here at the palace.” I answered him, not wanting to let him know that she was my maid. “Have her taken to the maids quarters, they would know what use she would be.” I finished and dropped her down on the floor. She was shivering and looking around, like she was scared somebody would find her here. “Well, Kaley, I am Alpha Liam and you are going to be working as a maid here in my palace. Do you understand?” She stared at me like she was confused. She was probably thinking how I could turn her, my mate, into a servant. But I had no plans of making a rogue my Luna,just because the the moon goddess fated it. “Take her away.” I commanded my personal guard. Kaley's POV. "Get up." I was dragged up immediately. "We don't have time to be lazy around, slaves have work to do." A woman glared hard at me. "And the alpha just told me to make sure you work." She dragged me with her. I followed her swallowing, I couldn't believe he did that to me and left immediately. I followed the woman, we reached a pantry,it was very dirty. I could tell from the looks of it nobody has cleaned it for a long time.The woman threw my shirt into my hands, “You will be working in the kitchen until further notice. You can choose which task is easiest for you, if not then you'll do them all.” I didn't know what task to pick. I'm sure this wouldn't help me get my freedom. The woman left after giving me two minutes, she said she'd come back when I had decided what I wanted to do. My body was aching as if my whole body was tired.I tried cleaning up a little. The clothes were filthy and looked old but I didn't want the other slaves to see so I wore mine again. I sat for some time thinking about what I wanted to do, it took a lot of thinking about what would be easier for me. I wasn't ready for the slap that hit me when she came Inside. “Start cleaning." I felt like crying,she slapped me again and I got back to work. I knew I couldn't cry, I needed all the strength I had for what lies ahead. I heard the door close behind me,the next thing I knew she started hitting me. "Clean up and don't waste time." She walked out. I nodded as I began cleaning immediately, my whole body ached badly, my wolf wasn't that strong, and the beatings I got made it extremely weak. I was so exhausted, when I finished everything I was covered in sweat, my whole body was wet. I was sitting outside when she finally returned. She ordered something I couldn't understand, but when she saw me she started cursing again. "Find a room and stay." She ordered, so I looked for an open room. I closed the door immediately when I found one, and jumped on the bed immediately. I was too exhausted to even think, I fell asleep before even knowing it. ********** "Hey, get up, we're late!" Someone barged into my room. I opened my eyes groggily, I realized it was another slave I didn't know,I looked at the clock and saw it was already 8 in the morning. I followed her, I couldn't remember anything but I knew I didn't deserve this treatment, I was only doing this to survive, it was better than Alan taking me back to the pack. I joined her in scrubbing the floor, trying so hard to fight my tears, I kept scrubbing, hoping it finishes quickly. "We get to eat after." She whispered softly. "I'm Anna. Ann for short " She said, "I'm Kaley." I replied. We kept cleaning and she stood up immediately. I dropped the brush following her. I didn't know how slaves worked here, but I presumed if I followed her then I'd understand everything. I followed her into a corridor, I could see other slaves seated in the dining area. "It's time to eat." She walked in, I followed her. I stared at the food on the table, I was starving. I hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon. "Eat slowly." Ann whispered in my ear. I looked down at my plate, I was starving, I ate slowly but soon my stomach was protesting loudly. Anna chuckled, " Fine, eat faster or we will get thrown out." I ignored her, my hunger won out. After I swallowed I asked quietly, "Where are we going?" "Training grounds. We have a lot of slaves." I looked up at her confused. "What? But why me." Anna gave me a sad smile. "Because the alpha ordered it." I sighed in frustration, sighing as I stood up. "How do you know he did?" I asked. She sighed,"I don't know exactly, I've never talked to him, the head slave said so." "Okay." I muttered, looking away, I didn't want her seeing me cry. She stood up and I joined her, I could feel the other slaves' eyes on me. "Why are they staring?" I whispered. "He also told the head slave that you're a rogue and should be treated like a rogue slave." She replied. My heart thumped loudly, I couldn't believe what I just heard, it felt like a lie, but it was true. He was the one who made them treat me this way. I couldn't believe it, but I saw the hatred he has for me. He showed me that firsthand, it didn't matter to him if I was his mate or not. I stopped following Anna, walking away to where I didn't know I ran away. I needed air and it felt so suffocating here, my feelings were everywhere. I saw a flower garden , I went inside, it was quiet inside, I sat down on a stone bench. I put my head in my arms, hiding my face. I sobbed quietly. 'I don't know what to do anymore.' I thought miserably. "I escaped to find a better place, not this." The tears slipped from my eyes and I couldn't control them, I buried my face even more, it's been days since anyone helped me, and now the alpha ordered that people should treat me like a rogue slave. 'But am I really?' I thought about what would happen if I ran back to Alan, I was sure he would kill me, it was better to stay here than to run into the hands of a psycho. I rather stay with a mate who hated me because I was a rogue.I thought of how life would be if my parents didn't die, I wouldn't go through all these…. My hatred for Alan grows Every Time the memories hit me . 'If they were alive none of this would ever happen to me,' I cried harder. I heard footsteps nearing, I wiped away the remaining tears I couldn't bring myself to look at whoever it was, I hoped they wouldn't see me like this. The footsteps grew closer and someone touched me on the shoulder.I gasped when I looked up, it was Alpha Liam. "What the f**k are you doing here?" He bellowed. I never knew there would be a day I will crave for Earth to swallow me, not until today .
