Shira purred at the feeling of being in his arms, I have heard of the electrifying sparks that form when your skin is united with that of your mate, and for the first time, I felt it.

His strong hand held me tight against his body, as he buries his face in my neck, he smelt divine, and his odor was my new favorite scent.

I do not know how long we stayed that way in each other's arms, but the world stopped with me in his arms.

He reluctantly pulled away his eyes in the color of his wolf's, seemed his wolf was still in control, "What are you doing out here?" his deep husky voice sound out, and it was like sweet music to my ears, I was lost for words simply staring at him like a lost puppy who just found a new owner,

" I asked a question," he speaks out again, bringing me out of my thoughts,

" I__I came out for a run," I stutter finding it hard to create words,

" This far from your pack, and you chose a night this special where your new Alpha and Luna are being pledged in?"

My face fell at his remarks, he was right though, like every other person I should have been at the celebrations, instead, I was out here.

" My wolf was itching for a run," I whispered,

His hands held my face as he caressed my skin, the Sparks tickled making me tremble under his touch,

" How I have waited so long for you," he states staring deep into my eyes,

" I have waited for you too,"

Tears pooled out my eyes at his words, he was not rejecting me, he was going to accept me!

" Why are you sobbing,"

" Because I thought you would reject me,"

He furrowed his brow at my words, "Why would you think so?"

I only smiled at him, before hugging him tight, as I cried in his arms, I feel his palm caress my back, "It's okay now your safe,"

His words of comfort eased my aching heart and filled it with joy, at last, my salvation out of this place was here. I knew he was not from this pack, I had never seen him before, and he did not recognize me as the traitor's daughter just like everyone else did. Maybe he was a guest at the party.

He held my hand in his as we walked out of the woods. It was dark, and the streets were lonely since everyone was at the pack house.

" Do you want to come with me to my hotel room," without uncertainty I agreed to go with him, Shira would murder me if I refused his offer, plus I wanted to go with him.

We arrived in front of an exquisite black color car, I was awed at how beautiful the car looked, "If this belongs to him, then he must be rich which means our days of misery and sorrow were over!" my wolf hollers in my head excited, her words were correct though,

He opened the car for me, and I was amazed to realize it belongs to him, "Come on, get in," I enter the car, and I was nervous, I had never been in a car this luxurious,

The ride to the hotel was silent, he tried to start up small talk, but I was too anxious to say anything.

We finally arrived, and he ushered me out of his car, thank the Goddess everyone was at the celebration, so we swiftly went up to his room using the lift, my dress was old, and torn, whereas, his clothes were the opposite.

" Do you care for anything? Wine?"

I shook my head at his request, I had never tasted alcohol in my life, so I had to decline his offer. My eyes roamed the room constantly avoiding his gaze, his intoxicating sweet scent infiltrated my nostrils making me yearn for him,

" So tell me what is your name and how old are you?"

" Abigail Monroe, I am Twenty-one years old,"

He locked eyes with me and I stared into those green-colored orbs, I wanted nothing more than to be in his arms, and in that instant, he pulled me against the wall, as he traps me in between his hands stretched out unto the wall, he gazes down my face, our eyes searching the other, our wolves howling and yearning, the bond called unto us.

" I want to kiss you, Abigail," he murmurs in his rough voice.

I simply nodded at his request because I wanted that too, his lips touched mine, and I quivered at the feeling of finally being kissed, his large hands found my head as he wrapped his fingers around me,

He bits my lip, making me groan which earns him access to pry open my mouth with his tongue, I moan when he sucks on my tongue, tasting every inch of my mouth, I feel his hand move to my waist and unexpectedly he grabs and squeezed my right ass cheek startling me,

He leaves my lips and kissed his way down to my neck, I moaned out loud when he sucks on that sensitive spot on my neck, where his mark would sit pretty.

My mate trailed his hands on my skin, from my lap, and he pushed further into my pussy, the moment he touches me with my underwear still blocking contact I closed my lap trapping his hand, fear and anxiety coursed through my body, I have never been touched there before.

" Fuck! I can smell your arousal___I know you want me as much as I want you, so do not defy me!"

Yes, I was aroused by this man, by my mate nevertheless it was the first time for me,

" You are still untouched?"

" Yes, I have never even been kissed before, except now," he groaned at my answer,

picked me up in his arms, my legs wrapping around his waist, he walked over to the king-size bed and gently dropped me on the soft mattress.

I gulped hard when he began taking his shirt off, my eyes widen when I finally see his upper body bare, and my lips parted as my eyes trailed down his body admiring the tattoo on his body, it was the head of a wolf, and then just above it was a Raven with both wings spread wide open, the art was crafted perfectly on his chest.

My mate who I did not know his name yet, moved on top of my body, his large silhouette covering my petite one, his lips captured mine once again in a passionate kiss making my pussy moist.

The sounds of the rags I wore as clothes being ripped echoed in the large room, He ripped open my clothes, leaving me in just my underwear.

" I do not think I can wait any longer, I want you so bad, mate!"

ABIGAIL

I anticipated his actions but on the other hand, I was ashamed of my body, of the scars that marred my skin, and the whips and punishments I receive daily were evident on my body.

His fingers removed all my clothing, but then he halted in his actions, my heart racing when he let me go and stood on his feet,

" Why all these scars on your body? What happened to you?"

" I fell off a moving truck, a few years ago," I lied without hesitation,

" But these blotches on your body tell a different story, Abigail,"

I shifted my gaze away from him, looking around the room but him, My mate shrugged before taking a seat on the bed, and he pulled me onto his lap making me shriek with surprise, my hands trying to cover my chest as I was exposed.

He reaches out for a blanket and covers me with it, his eyes staring deep into mine, his eyes held no emotions in them just like his face. His actions solitary conveyed he cared for me.

My stomach growled loudly, shocking us both, I held my abdomen in humiliation, as I was seated on his lap, My mate simply retrieved his phone from the bedside table, dialed a number, and placed the phone on his ear,

" Shawn I need food, now!" he ordered,

I was quiet the entire time, I watched with my eyes as he walked to the wardrobe and pulled out a T-shirt, I thought he was going to wear it, but he handed it over to me instead, with the look on his face there was no option for refusal, so I put on the T-shirt quickly.

There was a knock on the door and a lady entered with a roller filled with varieties of dishes, my eyes locked on the food, and my stomach growled at the sight of food. The aroma of the food filled my nostrils, making my mouth water to have a morsel.

" Get out," he said lazily to the lady who brought in the food, she was about to serve the meal when his voice resounded in the room, surprising me too.

Immediately the lady flees from the room, leaving just us in it.

I scanned his movements as he took an empty plate, and began filling it with food, after which he served in front of me,

" Come on, dig in,"

My stomach was excited to be finally filled with good food after so many years of eating leftovers, I bowed my head in appreciation before pouncing at the food in front, gobbling down the hot meal with fear of it being snatched from me. I could not remember the last time I tasted a meal this sumptuous and healthy.

" Slow down, or you'll choke,"

I simply ignored his words, as my sole aim was to fill my empty stomach with enough food first, I never knew when I could get so lucky once more to eat a meal like this.

My mate simply watched me eat without interrupting, I was done in a few minutes, consuming everything that was on my plate. He had a satisfied look on his face and for the first time in years, I felt full.

After eating, my mate insisted I take a rest, which I agreed to, he helped me lie on the soft mattress and I moaned inwardly as my body made contact with the bed, I have never laid on something so soft like this, and so in no time sleep took me into the dreamlands. It was a dream that I never wanted it to end.

The sounds of birds chirping were enough to wake me up, I stirred as I blinked my eyes open, and my gaze met with the lights on the ceiling, I wondered where I was until everything that happened yesterday replayed in my head, I found my mate! However, I was not in the pack house, my eyes widened as I realized the mess I was in.

Madam Doreen will kill me today! I slept outside the mansion, Breakfast! Who prepared it? These thoughts filled my head and without consideration, I jolted out of the bed I lay, moved toward the door, and exited the empty room,

The eyes of everyone were on me as I walked, in fast, strides out of the hotel in just a t-shirt that was above my knee, thank goodness, it was only ten minutes, by walking back to the pack house,

The moment I arrived, Madam Doreen stood in front of the pack house waiting. My heartbeat accelerated as I saw her,

" Finally the slut is back!"

Words failed me as my entire body shook with fear, Two guards moved in my direction and immediately grabbed me, their actions surprising me,

" Please let me go!" I yelled,

" You thief! How dare you steal our new Luna's diamond necklace?" Madam Doreen mumbles with a smile on her face,

Steal, necklace, what was she saying? My mind was in a frenzy, instantly Zara came out with a few pack members,

" So finally the thief has been caught, you will surely get the punishment you deserve this time you bitch!" Zara screamed at me, Madam Doreen walked up to me and slapped me hard on the face,

Whispers could be heard among pack members as they all looked at me with hatred on their faces, "I have done nothing wrong, please," I sobbed,

Immediately I was dragged into the pack house where Alpha Zach and his mate Gina sat together on a couch, I was brought before them,

" Slave and daughter of a traitor are you guilty of stealing?" the Alpha's voice boomed in the room with so much authority it ignited fear in me,

" No, Alpha please you have to believe me, I have done no such thing?"

" Guards search her room," he ordered, I knew I was innocent, but I had a bad feeling about this,

The guards that were sent to check my room, come back with a box in hand that made my heart skip, the box was given to the Alpha, and my heart beat seized for a second by the content of the box.

A diamond necklace was placed neatly in the box, tears filled my eyes as I kept staring at the necklace.

" Alpha we found this in her room,"

" No, that is impossible, I did not steal anything,"

Alpha arcs his head at me with a questioning look, "How do you explain this then?"

I shook my head at him, as it was difficult to form words, how do I prove myself innocent now?

" Where were you last night?" he asks lazily,

"I__I um, was in my room,"

" Liar! You are a conniving bitch, you went to your lover last night, you planned to sell Luna's necklace, and then run away!" Zara spoke out loud to everyone's hearing,

" That is not true," I whispered as tears ran down my eyes,

" Guards lock her up in the cellars!"

" No, no, please I'm innocent. I haven't done anything. !!" I wailed in the arms of the guards as they dragged me away, for a crime, I never committed.

My body collided hard with the ground as they threw me with force, but what frightened me was when Madam Doreen walked into my cell with whips that had a lash that contained hooks on the surface.

Soon after my screams filled the cell as she whipped me mercilessly, and there was no one to help me, I only wished and prayed for death.

ABIGAIL

My sobs filled the cell I was locked in, and my entire body ached because of the strokes from Madam Doreen, I was bleeding, and I might have broken my ankle.

Shira was silent the entire time she was too weak to heal me as the whip Madam Doreen used was laced with wolf bane and that made my wolf weak, so my injuries were not healing. The guards stationed to watch my cell repeatedly yelled at me asking me to shut up and stop causing a nuisance with my cries,

I sat on the concrete ground as my tears streamed down my face continuously, I was going to die for a crime I did not commit, not when I had just met my mate.

The gates to the cellars were opened, and I heard footsteps coming in the direction where my cell was located, just then Zara appears in front of my cell. She had a grin on her face as she stood in front with her hands folded against her chest,

" You believe you are so smart, right? But I will always be one step ahead of you bitch!"

" Why do you hate me so much?" my voice was a whisper, I was curious to know her reason for this excess scorn she had toward me, yes everybody here in Glow Star hates me but hers and Madam Doreen's are simply vastly.

" Do not be so stupid acting oblivious to why everybody hates you! You are the seed of a traitor who caused the lives of so many innocent werewolves But for me, my hatred for you goes deeper than you can ever imagine, and it just inflated with what I witnessed!"

Her words pierced deep into my soul, hurting me like never, my parents were good people I know that they could never do what there were accused of.

"What have you witnessed?" I asked, wanting to know my offense for her new level of hatred toward me now,

" Don't you dare pretend you slut! I saw everything about how you bewitched Alexander, and he took you to his bed! You spent the night in my future mate's bed, you scum! How dare you!"

It took me a few minutes to understand her outburst, she saw me with my mate and believes I bewitched him, how absurd can she be? Zara must be indeed crazy for believing that he was her future mate when our wolves already smelt one another,

About my mate, I ran out without thinking about him, he must be worried sick trying to find me, I did not even get his name or drop my address, and I did not have a phone to drop my number, how on earth would he reach me now? Great Abi, just great, I thought.

" You are misinterpreting what you saw I did not__"

" Oh shut that mouth of yours, slave, I understood everything I witnessed and that's why I strategized the easiest plan to get you out of the way once and for good,"

Zara cut my words off, and after hearing the comments that left her lip I finally figured out that it was her plan all along to frame me for theft. She planned everything, she went so low to even implant the missing necklace in my room. How shameless was she?

" It was you, how could you?"

" Yea, it was me, and it will be nice watching you hang to death,"

My blood boiled at her confession, I wanted to have it out with her for this cruel accusation she laid on me, but I was too weak to even speak properly, the only forte I could do presently was cry, after everything I was going to die as a slave for a crime I never committed.

"Yea weep slave, that is all you can ever do, powerless whore!"

I closed my eyes as my tears continued to stream down my face, Zara finally stormed away, leaving me alone to drown in my sorrow as I awaited death.

Minutes turned to hours as I sat in my cell, I lost track of time in that dark stinking hole until I heard heavy footsteps headed my way, I panicked with fear as the sound got closer.

" Grab her we do not have any time to waste," the men who approached my cell spoke out hurriedly, I scream as they haul me out of the compartment with force,

" Where are you taking me?!"

" Shut up and stop wailing you traitor or else I'll slit your throat right now!" one of them warned me, and instantly I kept calm after hearing his threat of killing me,

" Quickly this way! Alpha Alexander and his men are searching the entire Glow Star for her, we have to hurry before they catch up with us!"

Their words confused me who on earth was Alpha Alexander? And why are they taking me away?

" Please do not kill me, please," I begged for my life, I would leave Glow Star if they spared my life, I did not want to die, at least not now!

We reached the back entrance of the pack house, where a car was waiting, and without wasting time, I was pushed inside the car, I wailed aggressively wanting them to let me go, but it was to no avail as the car sped away,

One of the men received a call and my heart raced when I heard his words,

" Yes boss, we have her, we will make it look natural as we planned, her dead body would not be found,"

" No, no, where are you taking me? Please do not kill me!!"

My voice boomed in the car, but nobody looked my way, I tried to wiggle out of their hold to open the door of the moving car, but I could not reach as strong hands pinned me down, My entire body trembled, I would rather not die, I was too young.

Eventually, the car stopped moving, and these strong men dragged me out of the car, I glanced around my background and noticed we were in an open field with a cliff in front, the sounds of the harsh wave hitting the rocks made me understand that an ocean was down there, then realization hit me, I was going to be thrown into the sea.

" I do not think we should send her off like that, I mean beyond that rag she wears might exist a fantastic body which we could have all to ourselves,"

One of the men speaks out with lust evident in his eyes, the other men nodded their heads in acceptance of his remarks,

" Yes, let's have some fun with her, my body needs good pleasure,"

I shook my head with fear, my heart racing because deep down I know I would never be able to stop them from doing whatever they wanted with me,

They were three men in total and hefty at that, there was no way I could fight or escape them, behind me was an ocean filled with pain and no chance of survival while in front were these lustful monsters who wanted to defile me.

Immediately they moved in fast strides, hands gripped my legs, and my screams were loud as I struggled in their hold, in that instance they ripped the t-shirt I had on, leaving me in only my underwear, my chest exposed to their view.

My body was pinned down by one of them while the others took their clothes off, I could not move an inch. I only watched as their erected manhood sprang out, tears pooled in my eyes as one leaned down and captured a nipple in his mouth, he sucked on my taut breast before parting my legs, and he rips apart the remaining piece of cloth on my body which was my underwear leaving me naked in their eyes.

I closed my eyes waiting for the pain to come, seconds turned to a minute, and then I heard a loud, deep vibrating growl,

" Get your filthy hands off my mate!!!"
