Chapter three

Myra

It's been two years since I saw Wilfred. Two fucking years since I was almost caught with him by the monstrous devil "stone" That was the first time I was flogged a thousand lashes for entering into places that were out of bound.

I had to lie that I got lost and mistakenly entered the room. If not I would be probably six feet underneath the soil by now.

Is he in danger, or was he being captured again? My heart raced as I thought of different scenarios that may have happened. Or maybe he realized he was too good for me.

“Mummy” a tiny little hand brought me out of my deep thoughts. Little Armani gave me a sheepish smile, trying to cheer me up.

I got pregnant as a result of my last encounter with Wilfred. Mrs. Bridget was so angry that she threatened to kill me. I was tortured in several distinct and brutal ways.

Every so often, I would be left underwater to suffocate and drown before I would be resuscitated back to life. I lived for seven days without food or water, and I was subjected to torture every single day.

Maria, the red haired girl who became my best friend, was able to convince Mrs. Bridget to let me live here in the brothel with my child. I don't know what they bargained for, but Maria refused to disclose anything to me.

“Come here pumpkin” I opened my arms gesturing for her to hug me. Her little warm body somehow managed to elevate my mood.

I stood up while carrying her. I needed to keep her with someone, so I can go on with the activities that I usually carry out. I was spared from not working by selling my body, since I was a minor.

But I recently turned eighteen, so I am sure Mrs. Bridget will come for me soon. I made a sharp corner to Mrs. Smith's room before opening the door.

“Good morning Mrs. Smith, Good morning my beautiful omega,” she greeted cheerfully. She was one of the few werewolves who acknowledged me, even if I was just a mere omega.

I gave Armani to her before finding my way to the kitchen. This is my second room, as I literally cook for everyone here and do all the dishes and other chores.

You might have a question about why I haven't escaped. But the simple answer is I can't. Once a werewolf girl tried to escape but was caught within five seconds. She was beheaded right before us to serve as a lesson to others.

“Hey omega, get me food,” one of the guards yelled, eyeing me in disgust. I prepared the food to serve the guard and other werewolves.

“Oh my God, have you heard, there has been a rumor of a strong alpha who has been conquering other packs and rumor has it that he recently conquered ours.” I heard some girls gossiping on my way back to the kitchen. They giggled and whispered to each other excitedly like little children.

I couldn't care less about the affairs of the pack as it matters, does not concern me, after all, I am nothing but trash to all of them.

I almost slipped because of the foot that was intentionally placed in front of me. “Who do we have here? It's my favorite CUZ,” my cousin, Shayna, said with a mischievous smile. Shayna is my cousin who was also captured. But now she was one of Mrs Bridget's favorites.

She always gets on my nerves, I just wish I could strangle her to death.

“You did hear tonight is the blood moon, right? . Are you excited to know who your mate is? Or…… maybe you don't have one,” I felt vulnerable and the weight of her ridicule pressed down on me.

I ignored her by trying to walk away, but she blocked my way. “And Wilfred, how do you think he will feel when he finds out you had another man's child, YOU BITCH.”

Anger welled up in me and my blood boiled like water that has attained to a hundred degrees. “How dare you,” I raised my hands to give her a dirty slap, but she blocked me.

“Don't you ever try to raise your filthy hand at me, you weak mutt”, she hissed with a livid expression. She pulled me by the hair, causing me to be in pain.

Her strengths were not to be compared to mine. I have no use at all as I was supposed to have shifted since I turned eighteen, but I didn't, every other person my age had a wolf except for me.

I hated myself for being weak, I wanted to shove her to the ground and beat her up mercilessly, but I couldn't.

“What do you think you are doing, Shayna?” Maria's voice sounded from behind.

“Ohhhh little miss mother hen, come save your chick before I kill her for dinner,” Shayna mocked her before laughing like a maniac.

She suddenly stopped dragging my hair and her expression changed from confusion then to happiness and excitement.

“Ohh I see, I have a client. I will be there soon.” It seems she has been mind linked because she seemed so elated.

“Someone very important is here to see me guys, catch you later,”she said, before she walked off shaking her hips like a fish.

“Someone is here to see me,” Maria mocked Shayna in her voice, which made me burst into laughter. She always has different ways to make me happy. I love her very much, she is like my sister from another mother.

The night sky hung heavy with a blood-red hue, casting a glow on the landscape. The moon, that is usually a gentle silvery orb, had transformed into an ominous blood moon.

I sat on the bed of the riverside not far from the brothel, enjoying the breeze that blew across the hairs of my skin. My legs were deep inside the water, feeling its coldness against my skin.

I wanted to get rid of all the stress I had encountered during the day by having some time alone.

I started to feel uncomfortable, I sensed a strong intoxicating and enticing smell and force around the riverside. My heart is pounding in anticipation and excitement.

Shit, it's the blood moon today, am I going to find my mate. Omegas do not often have a mate because they lack a wolf, but sporadically they do if they are lucky enough.

I walked out of the river to trace this intoxicating smell that filled my nostrils, almost making me crazy.

A minute later, a big brown wolf with blue piercing eyes approached me. Our gaze locked on each other. Those blue eyes, I could recognize them anywhere, even in my dreams.

It was Wilfred, after two good years, I met him again as my mate. 'Mate, mate.' My body kept shaking in excitement and surprise. I know he must have had a genuine reason for disappearing for years, but nevertheless I forgive him.

I ran towards him, giving his wolf the tightest hug ever. Shift, I commanded, wanting to see him in his human form.

The sound of bones breaking could be heard as he shifted back. Still handsome as ever with broad shoulders, chiseled chest and arms. His black hair projected towards his face, slightly covering his face.

But something was different about him. His eyes held a hint of weariness. His once sparkling eyes now held a glint of fire, a spark of irritation that danced in their depth.

“I, Wilfred Kristian, reject you, Myra Scott, to be my mate.” He said coldly then turned his back to leave without any form of explanation.

“Wait. What!, why?” I sounded confused. I didn't understand why he did that. I grabbed his arm to stop him from leaving. “Why did you do that, Wilfred? Are you playing a prank on me?”

But his face was serious and expressionless, showing no hint of humor or jest.

No, no no, this can't be happening to me, I must be having a nightmare.

“You don't mean it, right? “ You love me, please, I am sorry just take it back." My voice trembled in fear

"I thought we had something Wilfred, I thought you loved me so why are……

Ha… ha. He interrupted me with a subtle chuckle that held a great intensity of danger.

“We had a one-night stand Myra, get over it,” I can't possibly be with a weak mutt like you.” His words felt like daggers pierced into my spine. "What happened, what changed." I needed some form of explanation.

“I never loved you, I just lied, so I can have a taste of you, and I did. Not gonna lie, you were sweet but not good enough to keep me.” he said with a twisted smirk on his face.

“SLAP” A loud slap could be heard in the quiet night as I slapped him in anger.

Wilfred and I have been best friends since we were young. He was once sweet and compassionate.

But this person here was no longer my best friend and the person I fell in love with. He is now a monster.

He swiped his cheek before giving me a sinister grin. “You will pay for this,” he said through his clenched teeth, before shifting to his wolf and running back to wherever he came from.

I fell on my knees in agony. Wilfred, who was once my protector and confidant, had chosen a different path. The stinging and stabbing feeling of rejection swallowed me whole.

I was kneeling for about an hour when a familiar whistling came to my ears. It was the same as the ones made by the person who killed my mum.

I ran toward the direction to follow the sound. Is my parent's killer close by, are they in this brothel right now?

On getting closer I came in contact with a figure turning its back at me. I quickly turn

The figure towards me.

You!!! I exclaimed.
