''angel... wake up honey...''

Goddess. Where was I? I looked around and remembered the incident that happened.

I was in the devil lair. I felt disgusting.

I scrambled up and started gathering whatever I had left of my clothing. What time was it? I looked at the grandfather clock and saw it was five in the evening.

I was out for so long this time. Suddenly, grief fills me up. How did my life become this downhill spiral? Gathering myself I left the office as quietly as I could. My bare feet padded across the house picking up all the mess the pack had left in the communal rooms.

After I was done cleaning I went back to my basement. I took another shower and cleaned myself of his scent as much as I could. I didn't want the pack to hate me more or think I was doing something to gain power.

I got dressed and left the bathroom only in order to get another massive shock. Zack...

''W-what are y-you doing here?'' I started to back away as he came towards me. His eyes were slowly turning black and I couldn't go through another ordeal.

''You're not going to the ball, are you Angel?'' His voice seemed menacing as he stopped next to my bed.

''Alpha has asked us to serve for the event an help guests. So I am obliged to attend.''

He stops walking and a grim expression clouds his face. Quickly I realise he has seen the torn clothes covered in blood that littered my bed. Oh no.

''You... You're such a whore Angel.'' The anger was emanating from his pores. ''He had you again?'' His eyes were pitch black now. I started cowering in fear and huddled into the corner of my room. He looked towards me and marched until he was a breath away. I started to sob again.

''Remember you're mine Angel.'' He shoved his head into my neck and sniffed until he calmed down. I was dumb. I had to open my mouth.

''You rejected me, Zack.'' He looked up at me and slammed the door behind me. I started to shake really badly. I was pathetic. I couldn't even stand up for my self. ''P-please s-stop you're scaring me.''

Suddenly his eyes snapped out of the trance he was in, his green eyes staring at me contemplatively.

''I rejected you, because you are a coward Angel. You're weak. You don't even have a wolf, can you call yourself a member of our race, even? You're just a puny human. How could I present such a weakling as a Luna. A LUNA! You would never be able to help the pack. That's why I chose Kayden. She would make strong pups and actually be able to help to the pack... Unlike you.''

Every word stabbed at my heart. The pain insufferable. ''Why are you here Zack?'' My voice breaks, letting out every emotion I feel. Broken.

''I'm here to tell you that you won't be attending the ball. I'm not going to take any chance in letting you find another mate.'' He comes even closer and moves my hair behind my hair, gently. '' You will never find another mate or I will kill him and make sure you never leave this room. You will die alone.''

He moves away from me and makes his way to the exit door of the basement. As he reaches the steps, he looks back at me one more time.

''Oh, by the way. You don't need to worry about your... obligations to my father anymore.''

I stand in confusion and watch him leave, then, I break down as soon as he's gone. Oh goddess why me? Why have you damned me to such a fate.

After moping around, I realise there is no one here to help me. I clear the bed of the bloodied clothes and rock myself to sleep.

''Angel my child. You called upon me in your time of need and I have come.'' I walk towards the bright light that speaks to me in the dream. My voice seems to flow out my thoughts.

''Who are you?'' I ask as I look towards the light in uncertainty. Suddenly the light is shape shifting. A dress and then a head and then a person. She is beautiful, I muse.

''Thank you my child, I am Luna.'' I stay stunned. How is this possible, I must be hallucinating again. ''No Angel you aren't hallucinating. I've been trying to access you're dreams for many days now. I have a very important message to convey from the gods council.'' The gods council? That seemed familiar. ''The gods council is the order of the uppers that means the god of every ethereal species alongside human.''

'' Yes I do understand, but why me? I'm not special.''

The goddess smiles and grabs my hands. ''Trust will be very important for you angel.''

''Trust?''

''Angel you are so special. So very much indeed.'' My eyes formed tears at her kindness. I haven't felt these feelings in so long. ''Now my child, my time is running out so I must tell you this.'' I nod my head and look into the pools of her eyes. '' Angel you turn 21 in three days, the same day of the ball. My must go and complete your destiny. You will gain your-''

''ANGEL!'' Kayden's voice broke me up out of my dream. I scrambled up to find her standing at my bedside. I quickly scramble up and bow my head.

''Y-yes miss?'' I whimper out. I look up and see her staring at me with uncertainty. My eyes flicker to the fact that its almost 5 in the morning. Too early for anyone in the pack to be awake. Breakfast isn't served for everyone until eight in the morning. Why is she waking me up?

''The entire pack has been called into the grand hall and unfortunately you are a part of this pack, which means you need to get up and go.'' I profusely nod my head as she walks up the stairs and leaves.

Composure Angel, c'mon. I quickly run up the stairs and follow Kayden into the hall.

On the podium is Alpha Drake and Zack. I watch from the side as Kayden makes her way up to the podium and takes Zack's hand.

''I have a very special announcement to make to all of you today. This is a very joyous occasion as my son, Zack and My soon to be daughter-in-law have officially completed the mating ritual.''

My heart broke. So thats why Kayden came down herself to get me here. I saw Zack's eyes scour the room for me. So I kept myself hidden in the very end corner.

Always in the shadows, I thought pensively.

I looked around at the cheerful pack as they whooped and whistled at the new powers in the pack. Zack's beta, Samuel patted his back and congratulated Kayden. I felt like a complete outsider and I was about to leave when Alpha spoke again.

''The true reason I have called upon you this early as an important decision has been made.'' His voice boomed in the hall.

''As they have completed the ritual, I am now by the wolf laws, honoured to give my son the honour of the Alpha position.''

The crowd cheered as Drake cut open his palm and mashed it with that of his son's. This is why he told me not to worry about the ball. Slimy rat, he knew all along. I try and make a move towards the door but suddenly I feel his eyes on me.

I turn around and see Zack staring right at me as he grabs Kayden and kisses her.

This is a punishment I don't deserve. A fresh wave of tears hit me as the crowd goes absolutely wild. I quickly spot the open door and make my way towards it.

''As the new alpha, I will be changing things around here for the better. Firstly, all omegas will not be attending the ball. Their duties have been allocated to an extra team.'' No. This can't be happening. ''Secondly, all omegas will be secluded to their own wings of the pack house from now on. That means that the basement will be renovated into a brand new pack house gym!'' My home. My mind drowns in the tears that bubble out of my eyes.

''Finally, all members are forbidden from any kind of contact with Angel. This is her punishment.''

The crowd bowed their heads and even some of the snarky girls commented with foul words like ''Who would even speak to that bi-'' or ''She's still alive?'' and ''That's a pointless rule considering that no one cares about her!'' The last one got the crowd laughing.

I saw the disapproval in the elders eyes. The elders were my solace, they were the only three people who treated me like a normal person instead of scum.

Severus, the pack oracle looked towards me and winked. I tilt my head in questioning. He pointed towards the open door and made his way out. Curiously, I follow...

HEPHAESTUS

I see her again. Her eyes to be exact. Those eyes haunt me.

Adly screams 'mate' to me whenever I see her in my dreams.

Every time I see something different I start assembling her in my head. Yesterday I saw long white platinum blonde hair. Like spider silk glistening in the morning dew. That gives me hair and eyes.

My last stop to search for my mate is Darkblood pack. My wolf is restless and I barely get sleep. I'm not prone to these emotions.

I am everything they say I am. Cold, hard and cruel. I am a true monster. I kill anything that blocks my path with my bear hands. I have killed and used fear to get my way to the top. Now I am here. So why do I feel so empty?

I think she's there. Waiting for me.

I've decided I'll be going to the Darkblood today, it'll be a nice surprise...
