Married To The Lycan King

Doomed.

ELLE

Tears streamed down my face like a river and I continued to shake my head in disbelief.

"No, no, no… this can't be happening. This is a nightmare. When I wake up, I will be in your arms, right?" I choked on my tears and hit my chest continuously, trying to ease the pain.

"Guards! Get her out of here right away since she has proven to be nothing but a nuisance," Asim said firmly without battling eyes and all I could do was cry on the cold floor.

I felt helpless as two hefty men dragged me out of the grand hall. I didn't miss the judging look on the crowd's faces as I was being dragged out. They looked satisfied; it was as if I got what I deserved and none of them simply cared about the pain I was in.

"If you have any shame left in you, you will accept your fate and stop being a nuisance," one of the men said as they threw me onto the cold floor.

I landed with a thud, and I winced from the pain that radiated through my body. Hot tears streamed down my face uncontrollably and a sad smile graced my lips.

I knew tonight was going to be memorable, I just wasn't expecting that my best friend would be the one to stab me in the back like this.

I struggled to stand up, but my legs were trembling so badly that I could barely stand on my own. My heart raced, pounding in my chest like a drum.

"Looks like you are finally back to your senses," Olivia chuckled. Her face twisted in a cruel smile clearly, she was enjoying my dilemma and my stomach clenched in anger. It was enough that she played me like this, why won't she just leave me alone?

"What did I ever do to deserve all of this? You were my best friend, Liv, if you told me you liked the Alpha, I would have agreed to leave you two. Why do you have to disgrace me like this?" A tear dropped from my face and Olivia burst out laughing.

"I should have asked for your permission? Why? You are a nobody, Elle. Pretending to be your friend was already too much, but you were so cute and watching you get your hopes high was so fun," she grinned.

"It's not my fault that you are so naive. Alpha Asim never liked you and that much was pretty obvious. He always treated me better, but you are just too dumb to see this coming," she shook her head before laughing again.

"Oh dear, you are so cute."

"I didn't deserve any of this, I didn't do anything wrong."

"Well, it's your fault that you were born as an omega. And then you have the nerve to dream of taking Asim away? You are nothing, Elle. You are worthless. Nobody wants you, I mean, your parents even left you…" her voice was as sharp as a knife, cutting deep into my soul.

I closed my eyes, unable to take it anymore as tears streamed down my face.

"I will allow you to mourn your loss tonight, but starting from tomorrow, be prepared to become my maid. I have had enough of your shenanigans, it's time for the real fun to begin," she winked.

"Ah, and don't even think of running away because I will find you and I will make your life even more miserable," she grinned, looking so excited from the vicious thought in her head and all I wanted at that moment was for the ground to open and swallow me alive.

Olivia went back inside and I remained in the same spot, unable to move or think. I wanted to accept this cruel fate and prepare my mind for what was coming but I couldn't… It's so unfair.

Who said you have to listen to Olivia anyway? A voice said in my head. You need to pull yourself together and leave while the whole pack is having fun or you might actually become a maid for real.

It took everything in me to rise to my feet. My body felt numb and I had nowhere to go, but I knew I couldn't remain here and wait for them to turn me into a slave. It's either I leave now or never.

I looked around carefully and I was glad everyone was in the grand hall. I wiped my tears away and inhaled sharply.

I turned to leave and just then, a guard voice stopped me.

"Where do you think you are going? You have to wait for Miss Olivia to finish up because you will be working for her now," he eyed me suspiciously and I nodded.

"I just wanted to pee. I can do that, right?"

The guard glared at me for a second as if he was contemplating on what to do before he nodded.

"I'll give you two minutes. If you are not back, I will raise an alarm and you know what will come next," he threatened and I swallowed the lumps that were starting to form in my throat.

"I know."

I crossed the street and pretended as if I had difficulty taking off my dress. The guard watched for a while and when he was convinced that I just wanted to pee, he turned to give me some privacy and I took it as my cue to run.

I crossed the street on purpose knowing that it would be faster to get to the wood from here. I ran as fast as my legs could take me. My heart was beating so fast from the fear of getting caught, but I shoved it away.

It is either now or never.

"Search for her!"

"She must not escape!"

"The Alpha wants us to find her no matter what!"

I could hear their loud voices from where I was and I knew it was only a matter of time for them to catch me if I kept on running at this pace.

"Please save me from these people… even if it's just this once, save me," I prayed to the Moon Goddess for the first time in my life as I continued running.

"There she is!" I heard a voice yell from behind and I quickened my pace. I hid behind the tree seeing that I couldn't get away from them if I kept on running.

My heart was beating so fast that I was afraid it would explode at this point. The guards knew I was nearby, and I could hear the sound of their footsteps.

"Mom… Dad… save me just this once," I covered my mouth to stop myself from making sounds but I bet the sound of my shaky breath was enough to get me caught if they have good hearing ability.

I could see a guard from where I was hiding. He was just a few steps away from me and if he turned around, he would be staring right at me.

"Please, please, please," I begged. I will be doomed if I get caught.

Just then, the sound of the emergency bell filled the air, making the guard stop in confusion.

"We are under an attack!" Someone yelled and the guards ran back to protect the pack. I heaved out a breath of relief. I can finally get away without having anyone chase after me.

I came out of my hiding once I was sure everyone had left, and just then, my eyes met with the troop of guards staring right in front of me.

Fuck! We are under attack.

*************************

I woke up in an unfamiliar room feeling faint, as my heart raced and the darkness seemed to suffocate me. My body ached all over, and my head felt like it was about to split open. I tried to remember how I got here, but my memories were hazy. The last thing I recalled was facing a troop of guards and feeling a sharp pain in my head...

What have I done? Why can't I remember? I thought to myself, as panic set in. I need to get out of here somehow. I don't know how, but I needed to leave.

I jolted up, sensing danger, and began to bang on the door with all my might. "Help! Someone help me!" I screamed, my voice echoing off the walls. I was alone in the darkness and the only light visible was the one peeping inside through the window.

I don't know if I should be glad that I finally left the golden pack or feared what I was about to face. That is if I was even able to leave the pack because I couldn't tell where I was right now.

My mind went back to the troops of guard I saw before I passed out and fear gripped down on me. Have I been kidnapped? it's not possible, right? nobody would want to kidnap me, right? I banged door harder but it didn't look like anyone was there.

Just as I was starting to lose hope, the door cracked open, and two hefty men came in, dressed in guard uniforms.

This is not how guards dressed at the Golden Pack. I know for sure that I was no longer in the Golden Pack but I was yet to understand what was happening.

One of them sneered at me, his hand raised as if to strike. "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" he said, his voice dripping with malice. "Giving Marcus a mark like that. You're a b***h, you know that, right?"

"Yeah, and now she's going to pay for it," the other guard chuckled, his eyes gleaming with mockery.

I had no idea what they were talking about. Who is Marcus? And what mark are they talking about?

"Who are you?" I asked as I took a step back instinctively.

They gave each other a look before bursting into laughter.

"Oh dear, you are about to find out."

Both men leaned closer, looking so dangerous and my heart began to beat frantically.

"Please don't hurt me," I begged and they laughed again. Before they could do anything, a man with a strong aura burst in. His presence commanded respect and the two men took a step back immediately.

"Enough!" he barked, his voice firm. "Take her to the Alpha."

The men hesitated, then nodded and moved towards me. I cowered back, fear gripping my heart. Where was I being taken? And who was this Alpha they spoke of?

"Please, don't take me there. I don't know what they'll do to me," I pleaded, but my words fell on deaf ears.

"Now!" The man snapped and the two men dragged me away.

"Please leave me alone… I'm just a lowly Omega, I have nothing to offer," I begged as the men dragged me away.

"You have your body," one of them chuckled and the other one sent him a glare to shut him up.

I don't know what was going on and I had a feeling that I was about to get into much bigger trouble.

"Where are we? Who is the Alpha? Please don't keep me in the dark," I begged as they stopped in front of a door.

"Welcome to the great Wildfire pack," the guard chuckled as he pushed the door open.

Wildfire? Isn't that the infamous pack everyone avoided for their cruelty? Back at the Golden Pack, everyone used to say if we were ever caught by the Wildlife people, it would be better to kill ourselves than become a slave because our lives would be no different from hell.

The Wildlife pack are known for their slave trade, and even popular for treating women like a piece of trash. The rumour says women are often molested before they are sold or used for an even more dirty job, that is if the Alpha doesn't take a liking on you.

According to the Rumor, the Alpha was the devil's advocate. He was a cold blooded killer and used women however he liked.

If the Alpha they are referring to is the same Alpha Adonis from the rumor, then there is only one word to use for me.

I am doomed.
