Nata's Pov
" You liar!" He yelled, and in another split second he was right in front of me. He gripped my neck tightly.
I tapped his hand, trying all possible best to pry off his grip. But it was all useless. " Pl… please…" I begged, my voice low.
My eyes became glassy, tears welled up in my eyes. My vision blurred, I opened my mouth slightly hoping to be able to breathe. But, no it never worked.
Tears rolled down my cheek, I could just stare at the moon as life seeped out through.my fingers.
" You dare kill me mother!" He said, " I will make sure you meet your end," he added.
My mind raced with multiple thoughts to escape from him. And that was when it hit me hard. He was naked. With that, I landed a swift kick on his testicles.
" Urgh," he groaned loudly, falling face flat on the floor.
Without wasting any time, I sprang into action, dashing out of the hall. As I headed out of the palace. And as I ran through the pack, I could hear the faint sound of the Alpha himself giving order for a chase.
Almost immediately, I heard multiple footsteps behind me. And by the time I turned around to check up, they were already close. Immediately, I sped up, making sure they'll never catch up with me.
" Ow!" A cacophony of howls could be heard right behind me.
As I jumped into the air, and was about to cross the small pit hole in front of me. My strong body collided with mine. And in the next second, I felt a strong blow across my head.
" F**k you!" That was the last thing I heard before giving up to the dark abyss.

I jolted awoke, the cold tile beneath my feet sent shivers down my spine. I pushed myself to my feet with every strength left in my body. A wave of nausea hit me hard. I lost my balance , almost tripping over, but thanks to the iron in front of me, I was able to stand on my own.
" What is happening?" I whispered to myself, my heart ached as I remembered how hard he had punched me. Just as if I wasn't a human.
I never killed anyone in the past nor will I forever. " Why's this happening to me and me alone?" I whispered, tears slowly cascaded down my eyes.
I leaned my back on the cold wall, as I slid down slowly. I sat there, my knees buckled, I wrapped my hands around them, as I slowly buried my head between my legs.
The whole place was pitch black, it was all thanks to the tiny hole that was poked on the wall, that was the only source of light in this room...
As time went on, seconds became minutes, minutes became an hour, an hour became a day. I spent hours in the room in the same position. Tears slowly escaped my eyes. My life was at stake here.
I let out a deep sigh, wondering how it just happened. All in a matter of just a day, I was targeted from my shop, I was almost killed, only for me to wake up in my bedroom, like it was all just a dream.
The door swung open revealing Brandon. He stood there, motionless. And thanks to the reflection, I saw his face. And for one moment, I saw a glimpse of dry tears.
"I never killed anyone, you are mistaken." I said, my voice low. But, it was loud enough for him to hear me.
He didn't reply to me, he just moved closer. And with every step he took, my heart skipped a beat. And by the time he got closer to me, he clawed my jaw tightly.
" How dare you?" He said, his voice sending chills down my spine.
And slowly, he dragged me to my feet. I whimpered as the pain in my jaw increased. " Let me go!" I screamed, my voice trembling with every damn pain.
" You bitch!" In the next, he tilted my head slightly, and in the next second. I felt my head crashed against the wall
" Hmm!" I cried, my voice remained in the four walls of the room.
As he continued the torture, the pain kept increasing. And for one second, I felt my vision blurred. Tears burned down my eyes. It felt like I regretted ever coming to this pack. It was the biggest pain of my life. At first, I felt it was a good thing, but now, I questioned all my decisions. All what I decided back then are now making my life hell.
In the next second, he fist his hands into my cloth. And in the next second, he tore my clothes into pieces.
" Ah!" I screamed, my voice cutting through the room.
" At least, I could taste a virgin before she dies." He said.
Almost immediately, he fisted his index finger into my hole. "Ah!" A loud guttural sound leapt out my throat. Tears rolled down my eyes, I felt a shiver run down my spine. I tried to push him.
I kicked him, but this time he didn't blink, he didn't move he just smiled. As he slowly leaned closer to me, sniffing my scent.
At that moment, I felt his hand slide above my stomach. He prepared himself, but before he could continue any further, the door swung open. The Alpha himself stood there, a loud growl leapt out his chest.
" Let her go!" He said, immediately, he dashed in pushing Brandon away from me.
" But dad," he said, charging forward.
As soon as his father turned his face, Brandon stopped. His breathing escalated, he stared at me. A menacing growl leapt out his chest. I shuddered, looking away from him. Something came to my mind immediately, rejection. I need to reject him.
" I reject you as my mate." I said, turning my head to look away from him.
The coldness from the cell walls sank into my skin. Instinctively, I shifted away from the wall, grabbing my torn clothes from the floor.
The Alpha didn't move, he didn't say anything, he just stared. It was as if he knew all about what was going on. It was all as if he was responsible for his son's behaviour.
" Brandon?" The Alpha called, he turned sharply facing Brandon fully. " Reject her! Do it now." He bellowed.
Brandon stared at me for a while, and slowly he retracted in his steps. He wanted to move out, but his father held him tightly on the shoulder. " I said, reject her." He said again, snarling.
" Father, what do you want to do?" Brandon asked, but a loud growl from his father made him tremble. " I, Brandon Blackwood, Alpha of Silver moon pack, reject you as my mate!" And that was typically the last thing I heard, as a strong force landed across my head, immediately, I lost consciousness.

In my darkest abyss, I could hear a low whisper from the distance. I didn't wake up, but I listened. The familiar cold voice... Brandon.
"Why do you think we should sell her?" Brandon asked, his voice low.
"It's better to sell her off and earn off her rather than killing her!" The Alpha said.
" But, she killed my mum!" Brandon said,
" She killed my wife," the alpha's voice was low.
Tears rolled down the side of my eyes, all of this was far worse than public rejection. I was rejected twice for a crime I didn't commit. I knew it was dumb for me to feel dejected, but I had become one of them. It was a dream of mine to be like them.
" Where do we sell her?" Brandon asked
"The vampire's black market, humans are worth it!" The Alpha said.
