Chapter 9
"My Luna was tricked by this thing!" The Alpha breathed burying his face into his palm.
"What are we going to do to her now?" The Beta asked exhaling heavily.
My eyes were on them with a blurred vision and body covered with pains, my wolf couldn't talk as she sobbed bitterly curdling herself together.
"She can't let her live in the Royal Packhouse or we might be risking our reputation, she is too useless and also caused the death of the Luna, she is the weakest thing ever!" the Beta's mate shook her head staring at me in disgust and hate. I felt so sad and exhausted, I hate myself for being so weak, why can't I fight?
"I'll make her a slave and part of the construction workers, she would join the bricks layers and builder to build houses and wall, all the days of her life, she would be treated like a slave!" The Alpha thundered with an air of authority in his tone. "She is the only lady in that section, she can't do anything there, no lady can...."
"Who is saying that?" They all growled looking up, I also looked behind and there was a lady I can't tell who she is.
"Linda?..how dare you?" The Beta huffed.
"A mere Omega speaking against the Alpha's order?" The Gamma growled.
"From today, I make Linda a slave, she would be among the building section with this witch!" The Alpha ordered and I felt my heart stabbed with deep pain and guilt.
"Alpha, what have I done?" She cried out going down to her knee,
"Let her be and punish me alone!" I yelled feeling so pained at how I was becoming a terror to everyone who had been good to me,
"I'm not going back in my words, take them away!" The Alpha ordered and five guards rushed out and dragged us away.
"Why did you stand by me!...you should have kept your mouth shut!" I yelled at the young girl who they just called Linda, I can't tell why she became nice to me!
"I couldn't bear seeing you treated that way, the work there is so hard and bone-breaking!" She sighed as we were dragged away like trash,
"Now you are going to pass through the pain with me, you should have shut up!" I half yelled hating myself the more.
"I don't mind" she replied.
"You both still got the time to talk right?" One of the guards pulling us away huffed and before I could see it coming, he slammed my head with what I got no chance to see but it was metallic and I felt numb at the pain of the hit, it was like my head would pull off. "Why would you hit her only!!...we were both talking!" Linda shouted making me turn to her in shock.
"Are you...crazy?" I grunted wondering why she was this nice like we had ever known each other.
Finally, we got to a place which looked different from the whole pack, I looked around and was shocked at what I saw, the real scene of slaves, all were men shirtless and carrying heavy materials ranging from bricks to rods. what broke my heart was the whip being lashed at their back each time any falls weakly.
"Are you taking me there?" I asked the men holding my hands.
"Ask me that again!" He huffed and moved forward,
"Lena, don't tell me this is happening!" Elena my wolf cried out in a loud voice breaking me down with the pain in her heart, she was more pained to find out what we would turn to.
I couldn't move anymore, my bones were weak to carry my body, the men dragged me along the ground as I couldn't use my legs anymore, the stones gave me lots of injuries that made me cry so loud yet it seemed like everyone was deaf. I turned my gaze and there was Linda,
"Let her go please" I pleaded to the men as the feeling of guilt ate deep into me but my voice was nothing but part of the noise that was around the place.
We were taken into one of the houses there,
It was a room like an office, a man was sitting there like he was expecting us.
"These are the new slaves for building, she killed the Luna so the Alpha gave her this punishment, treat her nothing less than the others," One of the men who held my hand said out and the man looked up at me and smirked.
"Linda decided to be her accomplice and stood by her so the Alpha gave her the same punishment, you can be a bit merciful to her but never treat this girl anyway good, she is evil!" The other man added gesturing at me. The man sitting there made a nod and we were pushed to the ground,
"Linda here you are in my palm," The man said with a lopsided smile stepping out of his chair walking towards us.
"Stan, please don't harm her, she is innocent" she pleaded.
"Really?" He raised his brow and glanced at me.
"Yes, please..." She crawled to his feet and kept begging.
I couldn't say a word, I was mute staring at Linda wondering why she was doing all this.
The man glanced at her under his feet, then to me before bursting into a croaky laugh.
"When I wanted you is over, I got no feelings for you anymore, I would follow the order, get off me!" He growled and kicked her away, he moved to the side of the room and picked two shovels,
"You both should go out there and join the men in creating bricks, never show any weakness or you will be flogged to death!" He snorted and flung it to us.
"Are you doing this to me?" Linda sniffed and he scoffed.
"This is just the beginning, I'll make sure you regret that day you declined me, and for her, I'll r**e her to death" he grinned evilly and I looked up at him with a short giggle.
"Be ready to die then!" I muttered feeling some strange feelings in me, it was like something building up in me, it was like I wanted to shift but it wasn't time yet, "Lena, would he r**e...."
"Don't listen to him, I'll kill him if he dares!" I growled.
"Is that your voice?" She asked and I arched my brow.
"Does it sound different?" I asked back.
"It isn't your voice, so deep and has an aura of power!" She exclaimed,
I was about to talk again when something hard slammed my head bringing me back to reality, I held my head biting my lips to escape the outburst of cry.
"What are you still waiting for?" He growled at me with the shovel in his hand, he must have hit me with it.
"Don't hit her ever again!" Linda yelled and he flung the shovel at me and rushed to her.
He gripped her neck and slammed her to the wall,
"You are nothing to me, don't think I ever loved you, I needed s*x and that is all!!...now I'll f**k you as I wish..." He laughed loudly.
"You dare not!" I huffed and he sneered at me.
"Guards!" He called out and seven men with whips rushed in.
"Take the new slaves to the brick making section, do not pity them!" He ordered and we were both pulled away so rough that my head would keep hitting the edge of the walls.
I felt terror rush through me as I saw the work done by the men the moment we got there, there were all sweating and working so hard yet they always received lashes of whips.
"Go into that small room there and change over!" I heard the men who took us away order but I wasn't listening, it was like he was talking to himself not until I got a hot slap across my cheek. "You aren't deaf!" He snorted with those scary looks.
I rushed off to the house without hesitation, Linda following beside me with her glance at me continuously.
"You have to tell me why you are doing all this for me, why suffer with me?!" I asked the moment we got into the small room.
"You don't know who you are, soon, you would find out!" She replied without glancing at me.
"What do you mean?" I asked confusedly.
She made to say something again when one of the slaves' instructors walked in.
"How many hours are you going to change over!" He yelled with his eyes glistening.
"We just got here?...what hours are you talking about?" I sneered leaving him stunned.
"Are you talking back at me?" He asked slipping out his whip.
"Don't hit her that!" Linda shouted and blocked me from recieving the hit.
My eyes widened as she shrilled in pain.
I watched her skin tanned with the streak from the whip.
"Get off and let me deal with this...." His words were cut short as I walked closer to him staring right to his face.
"How dare you hit her that???" I howled with great anger boiling in me, the type that I couldn't control, the cry from Linda sounded like that of my mother when she was struck by those men, it sounded like that of Lillian when she fought for me, her cry brought back those memories making me enraged as I stood in front of the hefty man who was looking down at me. "Apologize to her!!" I ordered not knowing where the courage was coming from,
"Lena, I can see four eyes here, there are two more creatures in you!!" I heard Elena exclaim but I wasn't concerned about that,
"Look at this thing!" He grunt and gripped my neck but couldn't tighten his grip as I sent a heavy punch to his belly, it pushed him to the wall so hard that my eyes widened in shock.
He sprang up quickly staring at me with great shock too,
"Who are...."
"Are you going to apologize or not!" I howled clenching my fist tightly as different screams filled my head, different cries making me shut my eyes, shaking my head as the sound was making my heart heavy with great fury, I felt my nails changing, my system was becoming something else, something strange, it was like I was shifting but I don't understand what it is...
"I will never apologize...you are a mere slave, I'll kill you..." I heard the voice of the man in front of me but this time it sounded different, just like one of the men who killed my family...
"Lena!!!...who are you??" I heard my wolf scream in fear.
I opened my eyes and the man rushed to me in his wolf form, he pounced on me but I caught his jaws, he howled and tried clenching it but couldn't as I drew it apart.
I couldn't understand where the strength came from but there and then, I tore his jaw apart leaving him shifting back to his human form as he fell dead.
Just as he became limp, I heard Linda scream in terror, I felt something leave me, all the powers disappeared and my claws went in, great weakness took over me, I fell to the ground while everything went blank.
