I had grown up in the Dark Moon Pack and had worked alongside him for several years. experiencing many events that he himself had witnessed.
So I felt foolish as I stared into his eyes attempting to comprehend his question. I didn't know how to answer, other than to state my name and background. Which he already knew.If he was referring to my bloodline, he was aware that I came from a rogue, a fact that brought shame to my name.As for my scent it was impossible for him to detect it just now, especially since I was always in close proximity to him. Another thing it was highly unlikely for him to perceive it as strong.I was merely a lowly omega, wolfless and with no hope of ever obtaining one.I found myself shaking my head and stammering, "M-Me?" Clutching the bundle of papers tightly to my chest, I squeezed my legs together. summoning the strength to remain standing.I tried to quell the fear that now consumed me, my toes curling inside my shoes. I took a deep breath, waiting anxiously for his next move.As I listened to the sound of his knuckles, it felt as though he was prepared to unleash his claws upon a frightened little mouse, it's me.I tightened my grip on the papers, bracing myself. Then his words startled me, "Tomorrow, you will turn 21. If you remain without a wolf, I will have no choice but to send you back to Alpha Luke of the Litha Moon Pack."My heart pounded in my chest, and a gasp escaped my lips.I couldn't help but raise my head, meeting his gaze directly. The Litha Moon Pack was known for its ruthless Alpha, and the omegas there were rarely granted the freedom to live their lives as they wished. Their bodies were considered the sole property of their Alpha.My aunt had sold me to that pack, but fortunately, my current Alpha had intervened and saved me by purchasing me from Alpha Luke, which is him.But now he told me, "It's part of our agreement. This is your last chance. If you don't shift on your 21st birthday, you'll have to go back to him and serve him until the end."No! I couldn't bear that.I didn't want to return to that terrible pack. I'd rather stay here with him and serve him than endure that fate.My legs shook with fear as I cautiously approached him. I wanted to hold his hand and beg, but he had a rule against it, especially in the workplace. So, I pleaded, my voice shaky, "I'll do anything, Alpha—no need for payment. I'll work for you—"He cut me off, saying, "But your scent is strong. There's an energy radiating from you that I can't explain."What energy?I had no idea, and I didn't feel particularly strong. But then he surprised me by adding, "Tonight, at midnight, you'll go through the shift. Right under the moonlight."I was shocked. How did he know it was time for me to shift?It was good news, but my smile faded when he continued, "You won't be going back to the Litha Moon Pack. But depending on how your shift goes, I might see you as an ally or an enemy. Your mother might be betraying me, and your father is definitely not an ordinary rogue. Now, get leave this room."It felt like his words hit me, even though I was a few steps away. I wanted to ask more questions, but I didn't want to provoke his anger. I didn't want to lose my life.I quickly bowed and turned to leave, but he stopped me by dropping something—his nameplate—on the desk.He spoke again, "I still forgive you for sleeping on the job, but if you do it again, I'll send you to the worst pack and let them harm you. Don't tarnish the reputation of my company. Come back here in six hours and make sure all the papers are all set!""Yes, sir!" I replied, a mix of obedience and lingering fear in my voice.I scolded myself mentally for my mistake. I shouldn't have fallen asleep while working. I must remember that my boss is not a regular person. He's a powerful Alpha, dangerous, and doesn't compromise.He doesn't care about my life or what it means to me and I need to engrave that in my mind. There was one time when he was kind to me, making me feel important but that was just a fleeting moment. He still sees me as his omega.As I stepped out and closed the door and become the whole area felt more breathable. I took a deep breath, rubbing my chest and wiping the sweat from my forehead. After calming myself down, I made my way back to my workspace. Bella automatically turned to me and grinned. "You're still alive.""I don't want to be teased right now," I replied coldly."It seems like it...I'm curious how he scared you. Your face turned ghostly pale, as if you saw a monster inside the office." She laughed briefly, but her eyes fell on the papers I placed on my desk. "What's the problem with those? Trash?"I let out a sigh and answered, "Not finished.""So, are you saying goodbye tomorrow?" She peered at my face and I gave her a glare."I'll still be here tomorrow. I'll just go back to him after 6 hours, once everything he needs is ready.""Congratulations then. I hope you don't fall asleep. Let me pray that your tired eyes won't get you into trouble again." Her tone was sarcastic, but she was reminding me of my commitment to work.She added, "You always look tired, Sophia. Your under eye bags make it seem like you never sleep at night. Are you trying to be a vampire? If I were you, I'd skip the imitation and just drink blood."Yeah, I barely got enough sleep because I had a lot of household chores every night.I had to finish everything before I could even think about resting. I didn't have to explain anything to my human friend. I didn't want to beg for mercy.Humans couldn't understand the lives of werewolves. In their world, equality is important, but in the world of werewolves, the weakest ones remain at the law rank."Anyway," I thought, hoping she would focus on her duties since she adjusted her seat and faced her computer.But it seemed like she had something to tell me. I hoped it was something important, either related to me or our work. "Do you remember Sir Eros' previous secretary? The one with the unusual eyebrows?"Okay, she's going to share some gossip. I need to stay focused on my work, especially since there's a deadline set by our boss.How can I reject her when she's clearly eager to share what she knows about the former secretary? I wanted to prioritize what needed to be done, but I found myself asking, "What about her?"Stupid...She leaned forward, as if trying to bridge the distance between our seats.Then she whispered, "The real reason she left was because when Sir Eros got mad, she noticed the change color of his eyes and heard him growl. She said she wasn't actually fired, she left voluntarily! She sensed something strange about our boss. Do you think it's true?"A hiccup escaped my throat.It was impossible for that to happen to the Alpha. It was a rule in his pack, especially here in Hildart, for the wolves not to reveal their true nature, anything that might give humans a hint.But what Bella mentioned had clearly happened. I wasn't good at pretending, but I tried to fake rolling my eyes and said, "You know how grumpy our boss can be." I also pretended to shrug. "Maybe she was just obsessed with reading dark fantasy books, particularly ones about werewolves and vampires, and that's why Sir Eros' grumpy demeanor made her think he was one of those creatures."I hoped she would believe what I said. Luckily, she just shrugged and replied, "Well, I only heard that story from gossip, so I'm not sure if it's true."She adjusted her seat and focused on her work. I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank you, goddess!_Time seemed to fly by, and the afternoon arrived, but exhaustion started to set in. I still had a few things to finish, but I believed I could complete them before my submission deadline. I ignored the strange feeling in the back of my neck.it was actually numb, probably due to my intense focus on my work.Even my hands felt it too, itching to release tension by clenching my knuckles, but when I did, there was no sound and the numbness didn't subside.I exhaled through my lips, trying not to let my situation bother me.i spent another hour at work until I finished printing all the papers. However, just as I had finished organizing everything, my vision suddenly became blurry. The things I saw were moving sometimes merging into two, then back into one, fading away. Even when I tightly closed my eyes and rubbed them, nothing changed.In the midst of my struggle to regain clear vision, Bella turned to face me and asked, "What's happening?"I needed her assistance, so I looked at her, but I didn't expect her to yelp and hastily get up from her seat, as if she had seen the most terrifying creature.I wanted to ask her what was going on, but I didn't know how to approach the situation when I needed help. So, I chose to tell her the truth. "I... I can't see properly."Her voice trembled as she called my name, "S-Sophia..." She cursed under her breath and crouched down next to my feet. Holding my hand while I kept my eyes closed, she whispered, "W-Why did your eyes change color? W-What does it mean?""Change color?"My eyes snapped open, fixated on her like a magnet. Her fluttering eyelashes hinted that she had seen something and then it vanished. My heart pounded, and I couldn't help but overthink what it could be. She mentioned the color of my eyes, the change in them making me wonder if my shifting process was beginning. But the signs were strange—they didn't match what I had seen during the first shifts of other wolves.I found myself asking, "Color of what?" I forced myself to meet her gaze, witnessing her avert her eyes while she rubbed her chest. I had startled her frightened her without even realizing it. She stood up, exhaling through her lips, shaking her head and saying, "It's nothing." She looked away, then returned to her seat.Her silence tightened my stomach. I knew her well, she always shared what she noticed in others with me. There was a high chance that whatever she had observed about me now, she would also share with others, even though she was my friend.When that happene
I hurriedly entered the elevator before my shift alarm went off. Luckily, it didn't happen until the door closed automatically. I took a deep breath and looked at the metal walls around me trying to calm my nerves. I was worried about the possible punishment I might receive from Alpha tomorrow. It's my birthday and I hope my shift goes smoothly so that I can recover quickly if he physically punishes me.As I opened the door and rushed out I felt relieved that the shift process didn't cause any trouble, especially in a public place like this. Just as I was about to leave the Hildart building, I remembered a text message on my phone. I felt a bit disheartened when I read that it was from my aunt, asking me to come home early and wash her daughters' uniforms.Thinking about all the tasks I have to do, I realized I'm really busy. I'll only have a few hours left to sleep. After dinner, I'll have to wash the dishes, clean the kitchen, and then do my laundry, but I'll do theirs first sinc
"Where are we going, Alpha?" I mustered the courage to break the silence as my eyes flitting between him and the road ahead as we passed the arch of the Dark Moon village. The direction we were taking indicated that we were heading somewhere other than the pack. A knot formed in my stomach, and I couldn't help but feel wary of his intentions, especially as he keep wearing an intimidating aura.He glanced at me warningly, silently urging me not to speak. I shrank in my seat as my hand still clutching my belly. I didn't want to anger him, especially since I was completely at his mercy. Being in his presence felt suffocating. I wondered how long I could endure it if we were trapped together with no means of escape.Licking my dry lips, I cast fleeting glances at him and the road, trying to make sense of our journey. I couldn't afford to be clueless. What if he planned to harm me once we reached our destination?My heart raced relentlessly, doubts creeping in. I had been disrespectful t
I'm a big white wolf? If the Alpha was surprised by what he saw in me, I was even more. It felt like just yesterday that I considered myself insignificant in this world, but now the tables seemed to have turned. The question of how I had become a magnificent white wolf consumed my thoughts.The Alpha scoffed and interjected, "Are you sure your father is a rogue?"How was I supposed to know? But instead of paying attention to him, my wolf took off running. Alpha didn't call me back either, perhaps understanding what my wolf desired. Amidst our shared revelation, my wolf conveyed something to me.I didn't want to dwell on it, as it felt... inappropriate. So, I let my wolf continue her journey, wherever it led her, and she enjoyed the soothing touch of the cool breeze against her fur.'I apologize for the pain I caused. You can rest now, Sophia,' my wolf said.But I reminded her, 'Don't go too far.''I won't,' she assured. 'And my name is Nala.'Although I could have nestled here and slu
I woke up to a damp face from the heat, but the blinding sunlight made me shut my eyes again. I realized it was morning, but I wasn't in my bed. I couldn't quite place where I was but the hard surface beneath me felt dusty and smelled of dust.I forced my eyes open, trying to clear my vision, but avoided looking up.The dry rough ground was right in front of me. Slowly, I let my gaze travel from the ground to my body, and a sudden realization made me curl up tightly. I was completely naked.Hugging myself I glanced around and discovered I was inside a wooden cage, made of tough solid woodI was surrounded by similar cages in a wide open space, with trees forming a circle at the edge.The sun shone brightly in the center where I stood. It was an odd and unsettling situation.I felt like someone had intentionally put me here, and it frightened me.As I tried to recall what had happened, memories flooded back.Yesterday was my birthday, and I had shifted in front of Alpha Eros. He had bee
I changed into a simple white dress and quickly tidied my hair, all the while sobbing. I stared at my reflection in the mirror listening to Nala scolding me. I couldn't blame her because my body was hers too.As I left the room, I gasped when Auntie Elvie stood right in front of my bedroom door, arms crossed over her chest. "If you have no conscience, you can report to the Alpha what I did to you," she said with a glare before leaving.I wouldn't do that... I wasn't like her, and besides, the Alpha wouldn't care about how I felt right now. I was sure he would punish me for not telling him the truth last night. With a heavy sigh, I quietly left the house. The two warriors, Nicolas and Borlan, were still waiting for me.Nicolas uncrossed his arms and faced me, saying, "There you are." He cocked his head towards the gate.I took a deep breath and nodded. Borlan was the first to start walking, and I followed silently. We walked along the side of the road, which also served as the villag
Today is my birthday. I'm 21 years old now. This is a special time for me because it marks the beginning of my life with my wolf, Nala.Unlike other werewolves who regain their self-awareness after shifting, my life has taken a different turn.Having Nala has become my biggest dream, but I didn't anticipate the consequences. All I wanted was to be normal Werewolf. I never imagined that I would end up being treated like a pawn in a game, bet on and fought over like a rooster.Yes, I agreed to the Alpha's request to fight the warriors. He manipulated me with a well thought-out plan. I didn't want him to ruin my reputation, and I have to win this fight to protect Bella and Ethan's jobs.Here I am, standing in a vast field surrounded by other pack members. One of them asks, "Who will fight the Darkmoon warriors?"Another replies, "I don't know. Maybe it's the one who shifted last night under the moonlight."So they saw the moonlight last night."Who? Is there someone else as strong as the
I was struck in the belly by a warrior's kick. It wasn't because my wolf was outsmarted, but because once again, she curled under the surface. Now, she could feel it, but she chose to ignore the pain. I writhed in pain and took a step back. For a moment, I closed my eyes and endured the pain, determined not to give up.I couldn't be defeated. 'Nala...''I'm tired. It's your turn now,' she teased, and it was starting to get on my nerves.But I had to fight, even though I struggled to evade the attacks of the two warriors—they moved too quickly.I was on the verge of giving up when suddenly, one of the warriors struck me in the face. The force of the impact sent my body spinning in the air, and I crashed down in the courtyard. I screamed in pain, particularly in my jaw.'What the hell, Nala!' I yelled in my mind, and even she groaned in response.The entire area erupted with noise, and some of them expressed concern. They cheered for me to get up and continue fighting. I placed my hands
