LOGINRen’s POV
"Little beauty, you've finally fallen into my hands!"
A lewd, mocking voice suddenly echoed from above me. I snapped my head up, and my blood ran cold when I saw who it was. It was Malachi, the Beta from last night.
Panic surged through me as I looked around. We weren't heading to the place of torture. We were in a desolate, secluded spot deep in the forest, surrounded by thick, suffocating bushes. This was the most remote part of the tribe, a place where wild animals roamed and ordinary people dared not go.
"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath. I had been so drowning in sadness that I hadn’t been paying attention to where we were going. My mind had been blind.
This Beta was infamous for his cruelty. He took anyone he wanted, regardless of age or gender, and forced himself on them. He had done terrible things to my mother in the past, and now he had brought me here. I knew exactly what was on his mind. He wanted to have sex me.
Terror gripped my heart, making my hands shake. I was no match for him. He was the strongest Beta in the Pack, second only to my father, which was why Alpha Kane still trusted him.
What should I do? Panic clawed at my throat. Even Fenri was growling deep inside my mind, snarling at Malachi to stay back. But it was useless. My wolf was sealed away; I couldn't transform, and I had no strength.
Before I could think of a plan, Malachi pounced. His heavy body pinned me down, his eager hands roaming over my skin.
"Fuck, your skin is so smooth," he said, a sickening smile spreading across his face.
I struggled fiercely, but the feeling of his rough hands on me made my skin crawl. I wanted to vomit. My resistance only angered him. He clamped my hands above my head with one powerful hand and leaned in close.
"If you don't behave, I'll make you receive 100 lashes," he hissed. "I'm saving you, you know. As long as you behave and let me fuck you every day, I'll let you live."
Being dominated by this man was humiliating enough, but he wanted to keep me as his plaything? I would rather die under the lash.
"Pah, you trash!" I spat in his face, cursing him with all my strength.
Malachi wiped the spit from his cheek and sneered. "Hahaha, interesting. Really interesting. I love your resistance. You'll make me feel great later. You'll make my dick hard. After I fuck you to death, you'll know how powerful I am."
He forced his leg between mine, prying them apart with brute strength. His large hand grabbed at my dick through my pants, trying to pull them down.
But in his excitement, his grip loosened. His strength was dispersed. I saw my chance.
I broke free and slapped him across the face with all the power I had. "I'm Alpha Kane's mate! If you do this, you'll be killed!"
This was my only card, even though Alpha Kane had just rejected me.
It worked. Malachi froze. I scrambled backward, trying to run, but a iron grip clamped around my neck. My body was yanked back and slammed into the hard ground.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The air was knocked out of me.
Before I could recover, a heavy slap landed across my face. A man's strength was far greater than a girl's, especially a Beta's. My vision blurred, and I felt warm blood flowing from my nose and mouth.
He grabbed a fistful of my hair, tearing at my scalp until I cried out in pain.
"You're Alpha Kane's mate?" Malachi laughed darkly. "You don't know, do you? It was Kane who allowed me to bring you here. I have Lord Kane's permission."
His words were like a knife in my heart. I didn't expect Alpha Kane to be this ruthless. To give me to the most disgusting man in the Pack...
At that exact moment, a sharp pain exploded in my chest. But for some reason, I just found it funny. I felt like a total clown.
"I, Ren Sinclair, accept your refusal..."
The mate bond snapped. A searing, white-hot pain swept over me, tearing my soul apart.
Malachi didn't care about my pain. He was just excited that I had stopped fighting. He yanked my pants down and forced his legs between mine. He touched himself casually, then aimed that disgusting thing at my hole and thrust in.
Kane’s POV
"Kane, our mate accepted the rejection."
My wolf, Scar, roared in my mind, his voice filled with agony. "Why did you reject him?!"
I could feel Scar’s fury, and I was in agony myself. The breaking bond was causing excruciating pain all over my body. It was a punishment from the Luna Goddess. She had chosen Ren for me, but I had rejected my fated mate.
“Kane, you have rejected our mate. You have defied the will of the Luna Goddess,” Scar accused me, his rage vibrating in my skull. If he could, he would have fought me right there, but a wolf cannot harm its master.
“Scar, I had to refuse him!” I grit my teeth against the pain. “He’s a man, and my partner can’t be a man! Besides, his father killed…”
Scar interrupted me with a snarl. “It wasn’t his father who killed your father! You know perfectly well that it was…”
“Scar!” I shouted, cutting him off. He realized what he was about to say and his anger vanished into a heavy silence. Then, his voice shifted, becoming knowing.
“But his wolf is powerful. And don’t you want to fuck him too?”
Wolves understand their own nature. Only Scar knew the truth I was hiding. From the first moment I saw Ren, that Omega, I had wanted him. I was ashamed to admit it, but I was seduced by Ren. I desperately wanted to fuck him.
I couldn't help it; my hand moved down to my cock. Ren was fair-skinned and utterly alluring, though he seemed oblivious to his own beauty. He often hung out with groups of boys, and every time I saw them, I wanted to kill them. I questioned my own sanity, but the desire was undeniable.
I wanted to fuck that boy. I wanted to bury myself inside him. His skin was so white; I imagined it covered in erotic marks. I imagined he would be so tight. He would cry from being fucked. He would sway his lewd ass and beg me for more.
Thinking about this, I sped up the rhythm of my hand. The feeling was incredible. The Luna Goddess had made him my mate, and yet I had thrown him away.
"Fuck!" I roared at the ceiling. Even though I had rejected him, my erect penis betrayed my desire for that boy.
"Someone, call Vera in!" I yelled. My cock needed a release. Vera was beautiful and wild in bed. Most importantly, she was Ren's best friend. She could mimic Ren's voice, and she was the one who could make me orgasm while pretending to be him.
King Lyall’s POV
I rode hard, the wind stinging my face as my horse thundered over the uneven terrain. Beta Caspian and a squad of guards flanked me. We were closing in on our destination.
"King, we have arrived," Caspian announced, his voice cutting through the rush of air. "This is the boundary of the Silver River Pack."
I gave a sharp, silent nod. I was thirty years old. For a Lycan—a creature blessed with immortality and devastating power—this should have been the absolute prime of my life. But the Moon Goddess had played a cruel, twisted joke on me.
I had no Mate.
For thirty long years, I had fantasized about my soulmate. I had sworn to the Goddess that I would give them the world, that I would love and protect them regardless of whether they were an Omega or a peasant. Yet, my soul remained silent. Empty. A void.
"Those elders are becoming more outrageous by the day," Caspian muttered, breaking my heavy silence. He couldn't hide his indignation.
My brow furrowed deeper. The council elders were threatening suicide, claiming a Lycan King could not rule without an heir. They swore that if a Luna was not chosen this year, they would starve themselves to death on the altar. I respected their sacrifice for the tribe, but I loathed this manipulated fate.
"Since there is no Mate, we will simply choose the most obedient puppet," I said coldly. My voice was like ice from the abyss as I watched the territory of the Silver River Pack rise in the distance. "We choose here. The Silver River Pack is weak. Their influence is crumbling. A future Luna from here will have no powerful relatives to hide behind. She will understand that her only way to survive is through absolute obedience."
I knew the thought was selfish. I didn't need love. I just needed a beautiful, docile breeding tool to silence the old men.
Suddenly, the wind shifted.
A strange, intoxicating scent hit me. It was faint, but it electrified my entire nervous system.
"Mate! Lyall! It is our Mate!" My wolf, Torin, howled wildly in my mind. His voice was a mixture of shock and thirty years of suppressed longing screaming all at once.
Ren’s POV You absolute fool!I cursed her over and over in my head. If she exposed me right now, not only would the captive women and children die, but Malachi and I would be torn to shreds in seconds. My muscles tensed, and my thumb slid toward the dagger at my waist.The Rogue Leader let out a fierce, malicious laugh, cutting Catherine off mid-sentence. "I love breaking wildcats!”He marched down the stone steps."The fiercer the temper, the sweeter the submission!"He grabbed the chains around Catherine's wrists and dragged her toward the dark passage behind the stone throne.Catherine fought desperately, kicking and screaming. Her eyes never left me.She wanted to call my name again.I saw it in her eyes."Ren..."My blood ran cold.But before the sound could escape her lips, the Rogue Leader suddenly stopped.For a split second, his crimson eyes shifted toward me.My heart nearly stopped. Had he noticed me?No...I forced myself to remain still, lowering my head like every other rogue
Ren’s POV I kept my head lowered, barely daring to breathe. My fingers remained locked around the hilt of the dagger hidden at my waist, the only thing that reminded me I still had a way to fight back.Beside me, Malachi wore the filthy leather armor of a rogue we had killed, blending into the chaotic column of raiders returning with their spoils.We followed the crowd as it wound deeper down the jagged valley. Through the smoke and dust, I noticed a massive wooden carriage rattling in the center of the column. Several feral rogues flanked it, baring their teeth and viciously shoving away anyone who dared to step too close.What could possibly be inside that carriage? Suspicion gnawed at me. Why were these rogues guarding it so fiercely?"Keep moving, you pathetic pack trash!"The ear-splitting crack of a barbed whip violently shattered my thoughts. I snapped my head toward the sound. A group of rogues was ruthlessly lashing the captured Silver River pack members. A young mother, clu
Ren’s POV My heart slammed against my ribs. We had finally found them.The monsters who had taken my mother from me were right below us.Lyall deliberately slowed his pace, and together, we crept to the jagged edge of a steep cliff. Parting the tangled bushes just enough to see through, the entire scene below opened up before us.It was a deeply secluded, desolate valley. Down below, vast swathes of vegetation lay shattered and uprooted, exposing nothing but barren, dry soil."Hurry up! If you dawdle any longer, I'll snap your pathetic legs!"A brutal shout from the valley floor instantly yanked my attention toward the gorge entrance. A group of towering, heavily scarred rogues were fiercely brandishing barbed whips, using them to herd a long line of captives chained together with heavy iron shackles.My breath caught in my throat. They were the survivors of the Silver River Pack.The vast majority of them were women and children, stumbling through the dirt. Behind the column of pris
Ren’s POVLyall hugged me tightly against his chest, his deep voice vibrating. "I promise you, I'll make them pay.""King," Malachi stepped forward, his expression dead serious. "Before we even arrived, those damned Rogues had already started scattering. The smell of blood and smoke is incredibly strong right now, but these guys are extremely cunning. They've scattered all sorts of pungent powders and animal carrion into the wind, trying to confuse us with a chaotic mess of scents."Hearing this, my heart sank into my stomach. A wave of cold despair washed over me. What were we supposed to do? Those Rogues were so cunning. Were we just going to be forced to sit here and watch them escape?!“However—” Malachi’s tone suddenly shifted, a sly, confident smile spreading across his face. “With me here, there's no way in hell they're getting away!”I looked at him with a puzzled expression.Lyall affectionately patted my head and explained, “Don’t worry, Ren. Malachi's tracking ability is un
Ren’s POVWarm blood flowed down the hilt of my dagger, and the rogue’s body collapsed heavily into the mud. His legs twitched violently a few times before finally going still."Dad... Mom... wake up! Please, wake up..."A desperate scream suddenly rang out. I turned my head stiffly and saw Vera kneeling beside two blood-soaked corpses, weeping in sheer despair. They were her parents. I hadn't planned on bringing her with me when the fire broke out, but I never expected her to secretly follow us. Yet, all that awaited her here was a ground covered in dead bodies.Looking at the raging inferno consuming my home, tears streamed down my face. I wanted to go back to my mother's side, but at that exact moment, the huge, burning house next to us made a loud noise.With a deafening crash, the roof collapsed, the flaming debris raining down right next to my mother. The dry timber met the roaring fire, and in an instant, a violent explosion of heat engulfed her completely."No—!! No!!" I was
Ren’s POV The wind screamed in my ears, biting at my face as Lyall’s massive warhorse galloped through the dark forest.I was pressed flush against Lyall’s chest, his arms locked around me as he drove the horse faster. Directly behind us, the thunderous, earth-shaking thuds of massive paws tore up the dirt. Beta Caspian and the Gammas had shifted into their giant Lycan forms, sprinting on all fours to keep pace.Faster. Please, Goddess, faster! I prayed frantically, my nails digging into the horse's mane.The return trip should have been short, yet it felt like an eternity.Before we emerged from the forest, the suffocating stench of ash and burning flesh hit my lungs.We burst through the trees, and the horrific scene stole the breath from my lungs.The Silver River Pack was gone. A wall of blistering fire had engulfed the entire territory. Wooden houses, watchtowers, and training grounds collapsed into the inferno one after another, the wood crackling and popping like gunfire. Chok
"You filthy Omega! An Alpha is not for you to crave!"The crack of Vera’s hand against my cheek echoed through the hallway like a gunshot. The force of it knocked me off my feet, and I hit the marble floor hard, pain shooting through my shoulder and hip.I lay there for a moment, dazed, the coppery
"Expelled? On what grounds?"The words felt like a death sentence. I stood there, shaking, my mind racing through everything we had given up. I've done so much for this pack day after day. My mother had literally sold her body to the pack’s Betas, letting them use her like a toy just so we could sta
Hearing my name on that man’s lips, spoken with such vile intent, made my skin crawl. It was a desecration. I’d always been too fair, too slender for a pack wolf. My features were too fine, my lips too full, my hair a dark, unruly cascade that fell into my eyes. They whispered I looked more like a
"Omega, come here." The command was soft, but it carried the weight of a mountain. The air pressure in the room shifted. I didn't respond immediately; I desperately wanted to run away, to flee this room and this humiliation.On the bed, Vera pouted. She cupped her breasts, leaning down to try and
