LILIAH’S POV
It was my eighteenth birthday.
The worst day of my life.
Run
Run Away!
The words of my dead Luna echoed in my mind like a dark symphony. It was her last command to me before she died in my arms.
Ferocious growling of multiple wolves followed me like a ghoul in terrible darkness while the skies poured heavily. As soon as the lightning flashed it made me stop as I could see silhouettes of werewolf warriors surrounding me.
“How dare you kill our Luna!” Gray- Beta of the Shadow Moon pack, my own brother, transformed to his human form and glared at me sharply.
“N-No! I didn’t do it…I could never, brother please trust me!“
“Brother?” The man spat in rage.
“First you killed Mother and now you want to destroy our pack? I will kill you with my own hands today and seek justice. “ I sobbed as my brother clutched my arm painfully and dragged me towards the packhouse, not showing any mercy.
Entire Shadow Moon pack was there at that moment, wishing for my death.
“I just ordered you to bring this thing to me not to kill her.” Alpha Aiden’s dark persona reached me even before his voice, making my entire frame tremble.
“My apologies Alpha, this woman is unfortunately my sister thus I need to discipline her well-“ Before the words could be completed a strong kick landed on my brother’s body and blood sprouted from his mouth, it made the chaotic voices shut down with fear.
“Shut up”
Alpha Aiden’s glaring eyes met mine and he extended his palm to me as if he did not care about anything at all, not even about his mother who had died today, he looked almost…happy?
Why?
Why was he watching me like that?
“Lets go to see her one last time.”
“Alpha but-“ Despite much protest when I was taken to the funeral, the surroundings chilled as many wolves bared their teeth.
“The death of my mother, Luna Fiona was a terrible accident and has nothing to do with Lilah. Before dying my mother entrusted her to me as my mate. We will together attend her funeral so everyone leave.”
The moment he uttered those words I could see the pack members glaring at me as they left one by one. They did not believed a word and were even more angry.
Before I could comprehend anything I was pushed harshly against the casket where Luna Fiona was lying.
"Did you kill my mother?” He glared at me as hot tears streamed down my face when I felt his fist wrapping around my throat.
“Aiden..I can never harmed the luna, she was like a mother to me…please trust me-“
“Did you wished to be the luna so bad that you murdered her?”
“No! No Aiden I can never, when I found the luna, her face had already turned blue. She asked me to go away, to run as far away from the pack as possible..”
“Why?” My entire being was trembling as I dared not answer his question.
"Why?!" He growled angrily as his hands clasped my jaw tightly as if commanding my wolf to speak the truth.
“Because you are my mate Aiden and the luna didn't approve of it!” As soon as those words left my mouth, the newly appointed Alpha’s dark voice called out to me making me look at his bloodshot eyes that resembled a ferocious malevolent beast.
"What did you say?
Do you take me as a fool Lilah?”
“I am already going to accept you as my Luna and even though I am disgusted by sluts who spread their legs when I want and then claim to be my mate. It isn’t the same for you, I am not going to throw you away eitherways, even if you spread you pretty little pussy for me I would still fill you up with my semen and chain you in this packhouse.
So tell me the truth-“
I slowly took his arm before placing it against mine and called out my wolf, looking at him through tears.
“Do you feel it?”
“You really are my mate.” I tried hard not because I sought his approval but because I wished to survive.
I must find the one who killed the luna and seek justice for her.
My entire being trembled when Aiden's thundering blue irises stared at me intensely as his fingers traced my thigh before lifting my skirt not caring of the fact that the chamber was open and anyone could enter, not caring that his mother’s dead body was right in front of us.
"Oh so innocent, still wearing white." His length grided my back as he laughed.
“Great! Just great.”
My dress was taken off making me only stand in my bra and underwear.
“The woman who killed my mother is my mate and above all, she is someone who makes me so fucking hard. I have waited so long for this day Lilah."
“Please…Aiden, today is…we cannot-”
“Shh its okay, open your mouth." He pried open my lips and placed two of his fingers inside my mouth, moving them deep down my throat.
He grided against my body all the while disregarding the tears streaming down my face as he lewdly violated my mouth making me gag on his fingers.
"Get on your knees, Lilah." His hands slid up my body catching hold of my breasts and squeezing them cruelly making me cry out in pain as I pushed him away. Eyes that did not show an ounce of remorse looked at me as he smiled.
“Claiming to be my mate? You are nothing but a criminal so do you think I would let you have an easy life. I am already showing mercy to let you serve me. If you do that well then everything else will be taken care of.”
"Lilah my love come here." I whimpered when his aura almost crushed my wolf as he held my shoulders and made me kneel before him.“Your Luna, my mother is dead, and there is no one in between us anymore so even though I wish to throw you to dungeons right now I will still give you a choice, either you will be chained down to warm my bed from now on as my fake luna or you would rot in dungeons for killing my mother. Once my real mate appears, even then I would take you as my lover and let you have my pups.”
"I would give you everything, but in turn you must surrender yourself to me." When he saw me crying he did not continue to undress me but left me sitting on the floor to decide my fate.
