Every girl dreamed of being treated like a princess. At such a young age, Emily experienced abuse and slavery from her own family—her father. The family she had left ever since her mother died. All she ever wanted was to be loved. To be treasured like how her mother did to her ever since she was a kid. However, it’s true that when you lose someone or something, people start to change.
Emily knew that it was a choice. Her father could choose between loving her and hurting her. But he chooses the latter.People leave, and people come. Her father became worst when he met Amanda, her stepmother.Emily knew she couldn’t control love, but as an Alpha of their pack, his father had choices, but he chose to accept Amanda and her son, Cole.At first, Emily thought that when she met Amanda, she could feel motherly love once again. However, cruelty began in her life. She received strong punches every time she made one small mistake, being whipped and even molested by her stepbrother.These all trigger her emotions and mental health. Emily even thinks to have suicide when she’s alone in her room, but it seems like someone is stopping her every time she thinks of it. Thus, even if she could feel her body wanting to give up, she still chooses to carry on. Because she knew the moon Goddess always had reasons.Emily was about to turn off the small vintage lamp near her bed when she heard a thunder strike into the sky, joined by glimmered lightning. She sighed and closed her window and was about to bring down the curtain. However, she stopped pulling the string when she saw a water droplet fall on the window screen. Then suddenly, her eyes went to the old table near the window and saw the black pouch.“Damn, I forgot about it,” she whispered.She then grabbed the pouch, wore her slippers, and exited her room. She ran as fast as she could towards her father when she heard murmurs, making her halt.She breathed heavily and gasped for air. She could feel muscle cramps in every part of her body, knowing this was bad. She looked at the pouch that she was holding and clenched it tight. It was the money she made this day. Then suddenly, her gaze landed on the bruises on her arm. It’s still in the color violet with green dots on some parts. This could be shown that she received a heavy beating the other day. Her bruises aren’t healed yet.If there’s one thing that Emily would be grateful for, it’s her stamina. No matter how heavy the punishment she received from her father or stepmother or to that devil pervert stepbrother, she still wakes up every day and pushes herself to work.However, deep inside, she knew that there could be a time that her body gave up.‘Emily, you’re strong. You can do it!’ These are the words she always let out inside her thoughts to make her move daily.“Leo, darling, you don’t have to worry about that bitch. We will get rid of her, remember?”Emily’s eyes widened when she heard Amanda’s voice filled with evil intent. She let out a sigh and shook her head. She’s not dumbed not to know that she was the topic.Didn’t Amanda want her out of the family? So, what’s new?Emily had enough, but still, she thought she could perfectly do the art of being numb, but she was wrong. To ease the excruciating pain that she felt within her heart, she tried to get numb and ignore everything, then continue to move on because she believed that sooner, her father would realize her worth.But hearing those words from Amanda again, she knew that the Alpha would choose what his Luna says once again, and Emily would be nothing—nothing but their slave.“The important thing is the money, darling.”Emily scoffed. Yeah, money!They should have known that they were living under the same roof, that she might hear their conversation.Seriously, talking in the living room where there’s a vast space?Not unless they do it purposely.“Eavesdropping, are we?”Emily rolled her eyes and turned her back to face the man. No other than her stepbrother. She arched her brow.“Wow, feisty. You can fight me now?” Cole asked as he walked closer to her.Emily could feel how her heart reacted every time Cole was near her. It started to recognize danger.“Don’t you dare?”Cole let out a devilish chuckle which Emily knew drew attention.“Dare what? Dare to touch you? Oh, come on. At least I will have a taste of you first before he takes you.”Cole’s words made her confused. She knew that his words had a more profound meaning.She steps backward every time Cole steps forward. “Please, Cole, I had—”“Save your words when I let you feel what heaven looks—”“What’s going on?”Emily closed her eyes for seconds and gripped tightly on the pouch when suddenly, someone yanked it from behind, making her jerk forward and turn around. Her eyes filled with shock, and fear crossed them when she saw it was her father.“Father,” she whispered.Amanda arched her brow and met her son’s gaze. “What are you doing to Emily, Cole?”Cole let out a soft chuckle. “You’ve seen it, mother. I didn’t do anything.”Emily saw how Amanda’s gaze landed on her. “So, you’re seducing my son again, you slut!”“Silence!”“But Leo—”“Let me handle this,” Emily’s father said and walked closer to her.Emily was stunned by her father’s presence and didn’t even move.“Is this all you got?” her father asked, his eyes fuming mad.She nodded and was about to speak when her face was struck by a mighty blow, whacking her backward and onto the floor, making her sag to the ground, and the ringing in her ears masking her father’s angry roar.At this moment, Emily knew that another bunch of beating would come once again. But this time, she didn’t beg, making her father angrier.As if by a line of lightning, fists descend on her head and back. She clutched her head in her arms, saving it for great damage. The heavy beating made her fall into a catatonic state due to the terrible pain, and her vision began to blur.Then suddenly, Emily heard Amanda screaming and stopping her Alpha. “Stop it, Leo! You’ll kill her!”Finally, the Alpha stopped, and Emily felt a sharp relief, but surely, her head and body hurt big time. She remained in her position and just listened to their conversations.“Are you out of your mind? If you ruin her and kill her, then you will also destroy everything!” The Luna’s voice roared into the vast space of their house.“She’s a useless bitch!” Her father growled.Hearing those words from her father, it seems like her heart has been squeezed, and at any moment, it will explode and end her life.It’s painful to hear your father despises you. Especially when she didn’t grow up with this treatment, her father used to treasure his only princess, but now… things changed, and she doesn’t know when it will fix.Suddenly, she felt a presence beside her, probably equaling her height. But she chooses not to lift her face. She doesn’t want them to see her tears.“You seem different this day, Emily. I didn’t hear you beg.” It was Cole’s voice.“Get away from her, Cole,” Amanda said. “Bring her to her room and let her get dressed. The guests will be here in a minute. They need to see her in good condition.”Emily laughed inside her. Good condition? In fact, she knew that her body would give up at any moment, even if her mind didn’t want it.“You already speak to their Beta, mother?”Amanda nodded. “Yes, and they will take her today.”Emily was shocked when she heard what Amanda said, making her lift her head and gaze at her.“W-What are you—”“Oh, sweetie. You’ll know it when you meet them.”“Mother, there’s no point to hide it,” Cole asserted, making Amanda laugh devilishly.“Clever. Well,” Amanda walked towards Emily and knelt to equal her face, “—since you prove that you’re always useless to us. Why not let others test your ability?”Emily wiped her tears, clenched her jaw, and pierced her eyes on Amanda.“Fierce, huh?”Cole laughed beside her. “Yeah, she’s different today. She doesn’t even beg when Father is beating her.”Amanda shook her head as if she saw it as a bad thing. “Then that’s fine since the Alpha of Blue Moon Pack will take her. The ruthless Alpha needs a trying-hard, feisty wolf,” she said and burst into laughter when she stood up.Emily’s eyes widened upon hearing it. At this moment, she knew that she was doomed.The Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, the East’s most potent pack leader, was infamous for his ruthlessness and hatred of the impolite. According to legend, he murdered most of his servants, and his reign was marked by bloodshed.Nothing was too much for a man to do to ensure that those around him obeyed his every command. To him, it is preferable to slaughter the weak and bathe in their blood beneath the light of a harvest moon.His wolf was said to be a monster with red eyes that glowed in the dark, watching its victims before tearing them apart.And that killing machine will take her?This idea frightened Emily; however, even if she begged not to let them give her or more to sell her, she knew that her father had already made his decision. And to him, she was just his useless daughter.Suppose she will use her remaining strength, but who knows where it will put her. All she needs to do is to obey. She had enough of crying and begging.Maybe this is what she is destined for—to be enslave
Emily laughed, which totally surprised Cole.“There’s nothing funny, bitch!” he said and was about to raise his hand when she spoke again.“You can’t do that. They’re here,” she warned.She felt like she had overcome her fear by talking to Cole like this for the first time. The feeling is different yet satisfying on her side. At least.Cole formed a sly smirk. “Do you think I’m afraid of him?” he asked.Emily smirked, and it was unusual for her to do it, but seeing the bafflement in Cole’s eyes, she wanted to give more.“You know what. I can foresee what will happen to you when we step out of this room.”When deep inside, she doesn’t. She just wants to try if it will work for him.However, Cole just laughed and dragged her out of the room.“Stop talking nonsense, slut,” he said, gritting his teeth in anger. But with the idea that the guests are here, he can’t beat Emily.While walking towards the dining hall, Cole suddenly smacked her butt, making her come to a halt.She turned to fac
“What happened, Dillon?” inquired the woman wearing a white lab coat.“She hasn’t stopped crying since we parted ways with their pack. Then she passed out. Her body is far too frail. You need to check on her, and she needs to be healed immediately,” Dillon said as he placed the unconscious Emily on the white bed.The woman approached Emily’s body and then shook her head.“This isn’t good, Dillon.”“Do your best to heal her quickly; the Alpha does not understand the concept of patience,” Dillon warned as he turned around.“How come her body is covered in bruises?”“She tripped on the floor,” Dillion replied flatly. After a brief moment of silence, the woman chuckled.“Pardon?”Dillon gave a sly grin. “It is a fabrication perpetrated by Miss Emily’s stepmother.”“Did they treat her like an animal? She is the daughter of an alpha. How heinous are they?” Even if their Alpha is far more than cruel, the woman is not fond of slavery.“The Alpha is significantly more lethal.”“Then she is not
Emily was perplexed by the sudden pause in the conversation.Lilac appeared to be in a bad mood because her cheerful and upbeat demeanor had utterly vanished.And the only difference between Dillon and Millie is that Dillon is standing up straight as he always does, whereas Millie, who was previously calm and easygoing, has adopted more professionalism, standing as if she is waiting for a command.Then Emily became aware of approaching footsteps. She pulled the blanket with her trembling hands, and for the first time, she was able to accomplish what her mind desired. She was slowly pulling it up when the door opened.A tall man walked inside. He has fair skin and jet-black hair and towered over everyone. His jawline was defined and emphasized the masculine characteristics he possessed. She had never seen a man move quite like him, gracefully but with an unforgiving glint hidden behind his piercing blue eyes.Even though he was across the room, the aura surrounding him demonstrated the
Emily was aware of her action. Calling out for the powerful Alpha just like that may lead to a punishment. However, she’s the girl who was used to it.She needs to find something. She has to know something, and she will only get those answers from their Alpha.There's no way that her father would trade her just like that. She understands about the money but there has to be a deeper reason. And she knows her role is to be her new master’s slave. She would serve him until he said so. But for how long?“I-I’m sorry…” she whispered.“A-Alpha.” It’s a little bit hard for her to say that title. Knowing the fact that she’s facing the most powerful and ruthless Alpha of all.“As your new slave. I… I will do my best to serve you. Just let me go once you don’t need my service anymore.”Emily did her best to catch his attention. However, he remained immobile. She couldn’t see his reaction because he never turned back. All she could see was his broad back.She was on her knees in the hospital bed
Set free?A well-known ruthless Alpha king like him will set her free?Emily has doubts about it. She can’t trust anyone even if she finds him attractive.“Look after her, Lilac. I’ll follow him,” Dillon said before he exited the room.When he left, the thick atmosphere loosened, and she could only see the bright smiles of Lilac and Millie.“We will do our best to help you,” Lilac stated. “At the same time, you have to cooperate with us, okay?” she flashed a smile at Emily.She pressed Emily’s hand and said, “you don’t have to be afraid. We’re not what you believe we are. Rumors about the Alpha might be true. However, you knew rumors will not always tell the exact truth,” she added.Emily nodded.“Alright, please get some food, Lilac for her, and I will run some tests on the lab,” Millie said.Emily thought she couldn’t flash a smile after the encounter with their Alpha, but the two women with her kept the vibe back, and she somehow felt relaxed.“T-Thank you,” her voice was gentle ye
Days passed so swiftly, and Emily staying in the four corners of the hospital kept her even better. She thought she couldn’t make it, but Millie and Lilac happily helped her with her fastest recovery. It’s a must. She was aware that they were preparing her until the Alpha claimed her.Emily thought about these many times during the past few days. She keeps asking herself if she will do it or not. Part of her doesn’t want to, but she’s also afraid of him. What if he kills her if she disobeys?For a moment, she also wished to have a peaceful life—she was seeking her freedom.If only her mother had been there beside her, things would be different.She’s looking for one reason to push through, and when she meets Lilac and Millie, it seems they gave her hope. They’re too kind for her. It’s been a long time since she met genuine people who show care and love for her.“I’m sorry if you have to endure all of this, Emily.” Millie’s voice pulled her back to reality.Emily let out a smile—a brig
The sun glimmered on the horizon, lighting up the blue sky; clouds were like dots in it, giving a perfect scenery. The wind swirls, making the trees sway as if they’re hailing Emily as their Queen. The expansive lawn was filled with green grasses as if it were pulling you to lay on it. A bed of different kinds of flowers surrounds the royal house.Emily was delighted to see that the place of the well-known ruthless Alpha doesn’t describe who he is. The place is totally a royal one.He is the king, after all.Emily was brought to the royal house three days before the deadline. She was guided towards her room—the Queen’s room.Her room was indeed made of unique creations. Details were added by hand, ensuring its shapes and every part. The bed, bedside table, chest, and wardrobe… it’s all inside. The room is spacious, boasting a large bed, and the wardrobe is of such dimensions that she assumes everything fits comfortably inside. The rich color of the walls reminds her that she’s not in
