AMBER
The other voice says words indistinct to me because of how lost I am. I snap out of my shock, so I can pick up their every
word.
“It’s a good thing you have them under control. I’ve never doubted your ability, future son-in-law.” The voice says.
I finally recognize who owns it. Alpha Jared, of Whitemoon Pack. The old traitor and my father are supposed to be best friends,
How the hell could he conspire against him like this?! And what, future con in law? What’s he talking about? “Thank you, future father-in-law Reece laughs. “D amn, saying that feels so good.
I really can’t wait to finally be a part of your pack and family. Your daughter is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.
It’ll be magnificent to have her as my mate.” My fingers quiver as he says more words and I grab a bit of my dress to keep
it from quivering so much.
“How do you plan on getting rid of Amber? The young girl is naive and immature. She might have a hard time accepting
your rejection.
What if she tries to fight back?” Alpha Jared asks. “Fight back?” Reece scoffs. “Oh please. Amber can’t even hurt a fly. She’s just a weak omega, hated by her father.
I’ve been doing her a huge favor by sticking around her till now.
So if I want out, she has no choice but to accept it.” “Accepting it is one thing. Surviving it is another.
I might want you for my daughter, but I still got a bit of conscience. Amber is too innocent.
Rejecting her might be detrimental to her weak wolf,” “And that’s supposed to be my problem?” Reece scoffs nonchalantly. “Her pain is my gain.
Besides, I can’t spend my whole life next to a s tupid, weak werewolf like her. I might just strangle her to death just to free myself from the bond.”
“You hate her that much?” Alpha Jared gives a mock laugh. “I just love your daughter more. She’s all that matters to me
ΠΟΥ.
Not some s tupid, weak Omega werewolf who doesn’t see the red flags.” Reece snorts. Tears clog my vision and I can’t fight them back.
I let out an involuntary whimper that attracts their attention. They finally notice me.
Alpha Jared huffs and walks away with a carefree stride, like he didn’t just backstab my father a few seconds ago. “How long have you been standing there?” Reece asks with a murderous glare, walking towards me.
The logical reaction is to run away but I’m too petrified to move. He gets to where I’m standing and smacks me hard on my face.

“How long?!” He yells, grabbing my hair in a fight grip “Say it. F ucking answer me!” He yanks my hair, hurling me to a corner. I take a major fall, bruising my knee on the floor.

He picks me up, grabbing a handful of my hair and holding my chin tightly Long enough to know you want to sell our pack off and reject me as your mate” I yell, struggling to free myself from his grip.
“How dare you eavesdrop on me?!” He smacks my face again. I yelp in pain, forcing myself out of his grip. My hand goes to my stinging, reddened cheek and it only infuriates me.
“How dare you plan to betray my Father after all the trust he has in you? How dare you, jerk?!” I yell painfully.
“What?” He arches his brow. After seven months of living through his abuse, this is the first time I’m talking back at him. Of course, he has to be surprised. Having two abusive men in my life has been really frustrating and exhausting.
With my Father, I try to be a bit more understanding. But with Reece, I still can’t believe he turned out like that
I
The first time I saw Reece was during our pack’s fighting contest years back. It’s held yearly and Father always awards the
winners.
Father forced me to attend and there, I saw him.
The way he effortlessly conquers his rivals makes my heart beat and ever since then, I’ve loved him blindly. It was until we got to be mates that I saw him for who he truly is.
Just like they say, people don’t get to wear a mask for too long. At some point, the mask fades and you see who they really
are
Reece turned out to be a monster. Aside from my father, Reece also abuses me. He beats me until I go unconscious.
He forces himself on me, f ucking me till I go weak in the knees. He flirts around and dares bring his flings home. I don’t complain, ’cause he beats me to a pulp if I do.
Bottling up my pains and misery has been the hardest part of living with him. I can’t rat him out to my father. He loves Reece way too much to even believe what I might say.
I was okay with suffering in silence. I was more than willing to put up with everything he served me. But not this. Not what I just heard.
It’s just too much. I heard everything you two talked about. You plan on selling off our Pack to that greedy old, Alpha.
Why?” I s ob. “What kind of a monster are you?” “The kind of monster that will never be tamed by a weak, Omega she-wolf,” He snaps, through clenched teeth.
“After everything I put up with you, why would you wanna treat me like this? Why do you wanna reject me and go get mated
to another?”
“I didn’t ask you to put up with me, you chose to, so don’t you dare act like I owe you s hit.” He pokes my forehead with his finger.
“If we’re being honest, it’s you and your father that owe me a lot. For putting up with your weak as s for this long.” His words strike a nerve, maybe because they were the bitter truth.
He didn’t ask me to put up with him. I chose to. He was my abuser and I was his loyal victim. It was all I had to do to make

him mine.

To keep him by my side. Right now, I feel rather st upid for ever putting up with him. I don’t understand what came over me but I lose my cool and lunge at him, hitting his face repeatedly.
“You animal!” I yell maniacally, hitting him harder. “How dare you treat us like this?!” He catches my hands in the air and squeezes them in a tight grip.
I cry out from the pain as he smacks my face again, harder than he usually does. My vision twirls for a minute from the painful impact. “Don’t you ever try hitting me again!” He warns in a dreadful tone.
“I’ll go tell Father about this.” I turn to head into the large ballroom but he pulls me back. “Go ahead. But we both know he’ll never believe a word you say.
You wanna know why?” Reece grins, lowering his face to mine. “Because you’re his worthless, weak daughter.” “That’s not stopping me.” “You’re the most pathetic person I’ve ever seen, Amber.
Your father despises you the most. Why do you care if I betray him or not?” “Because he’s still my father!” I jerk my hands away from his grip and run inside the hall.
Tears trickle down my eyes as I search for my Father. Even though he hates me, I’ll still tell him about this. That’s the least I can do as his daughter.
I have to make him realize what a monster Reece actually is. Finally, I find him in the midst of some of his Alpha friends. They were laughing hard at something.
I hate being a nuisance but what I had to say is important.
see!
I take a deep breath before patting his shoulder. He turns and his smile fades at the sight of me. “Can’t you see I’m busy?” He snaps at me with a growl. 1 I’m sorry, Father.
–
But I have to tell you something.” I stutter in fear, cowering slightly from him. “What is it?!” “Can – Can we talk in private, please? It’ll only take a minute.” I plead. “Get lost.”
“It’s about Reece, Father. He’s a traitor!” I blurt out. He mutters a quick apology to his friends and drags me to one of the private rooms in the building.
“What the f uck is your problem?!” He requests harshly.
I take a deep breath and mumble a quick prayer to the moon goddess before I say the words.
“I overheard Reece planning to sell off our pack to the Alpha of Whitemoon Pack.” I say the words in a rush. “What?!”
