Chapter 1
|| Vanessa Hudgens's POV ||
" Aaaahhhh!!! It's too painful.. please stop this.. fucking stop...Hmmm...."
The pain was more intolerable than I had imagined. It felt like it was tearing my flesh apart including my heart. The Ravenclawers stopped visiting me after they figured out what was happening every night. In their eyes, I was the most useless, weakest Luna, an omega by nature in the most powerful pack, THE RAVENCLAW PACK.
So, they believed that it was justified for my mate, the Alpha, Vlad Pritchard to go to a woman's bed every single day. Each time, he had sex with other women, I had to go through this mate-bonding pain.
I whimpered on the floor in pain, crying pathetically but not a single soul bothered to visit me. After the endless torture ended and lasted for an hour, I finally regained consciousness. Using leftover energy, I got up slowly and dragged my scarred body in front of the mirror.
I almost couldn't recognize my vision in the mirror. This year 18, I should bloom like a lotus but here, I have scars all over my body. I didn't know the last time was that I brushed my light red hair. The curls made it worse and it looked like a bird's nest. My round deep brown eyes were looking empty and vacant more like a corpse. Since I was a child, I was called a princess for my fair white skin with long beautiful hair. But in reality, I was just a weak omega without any name or merits. Even after mating with the Alpha, I was the same useless girl. Maybe I shouldn't have prayed to find my soulmate.
For everyone..it was a dream...
For me..it was a nightmare...
A low incoherent voice began to echo from the entrance. My wolf sparked up a little, sending me hope that our mate was back. She was always excited for Vlad but I felt nothing about the man who never regarded me as his mate.
I still went outside to meet him. I had been trying to speak to him for the past few days but he was never willing. I had to tell him before he figured out on his own, a certain change about my body.
" Alpha..."
I called him weakly, secretly gulping as he was full of mess. Vlad was always looking very scary with his dark tattoos and bald head. Not to mention, he was drunk now, and his face was full of rage. He didn't even put on any shirt after his intercourse.
Vlad's raged eyes shot up to glare at me, barking as he forwarded for his room,
" What.. what do you want.. from me...now...Gosh...I get to see..your face..as soon...as I come... bitch.."
Even though we were mates, he never let me stay in his room. I was practically a whore to his eyes whom he used whenever he wanted. My lips parted shakily, finding it difficult to ignore his undone zipper,
" Actually...I missed me..."
" WAIT!!", he cut me off with a growl, his eyelids battling to stay open. He was looking down at my body deeply which made me cringe internally. He never appreciated my body and called it thin and disgusting. As I was only eighteen years old, I wasn't that chubby according to my growth. Vlad always liked mature and old women which I wasn't certain about.
He stumbled over me and bent down slightly to clutch the diamond pendant around my neck. Then he asserted his words coldly in his Alpha tone, leaving no choice to refute,
" Tomorrow..you..will give it..to Diana...She.. likes..it.."
I felt a sharp arrow, piercing through my heart. It was our wedding gift from his elders but he..he had to take it off as well. My wolf was enraged. I always kept her in control but the power was slipping out suddenly. I blurted out in haste before I could stop my wolf,
" So..you want to give it to that whore sister, Diana?"
I cursed myself multiple times but it was too late to regret it. Diana was Diego's step-sister whom he had been sleeping with for a few years. The whole pack knew it and they seemed okay with that as their Luna was just an omega, adopted by a poor pair of omegas in their pack. After Vlad's mother died, his father married Diana's mother whose husband was murdered, and had Diana only.
Who would be thinking that a sister would be so scheming and malicious? Because that's what she had been doing ever since I became Vlad's mate on my eighteenth birthday. Diana wanted everything that belonged to me.
Vlad's eyes snapped open to turn deep brown, defining that his wolf was in control. He let out a growl, stomping forward to grip my hair in his fist,
" Bitch.. what did you call her? It's you..a whore..You weak Omega slut..Do you think that you deserve to be my Luna? If it wasn't for the bond...I would have killed you long back...How dare you talk back to me.."
I felt as though my skull was burning in pain. Vlad's wolf was powerful and was using all his strength to grab my head. My wolf became impatient inside, urging me to give her control.
Seriously.. did she want to die? An Omega against an Alpha? Did she think that I would be able to survive in this fight?
It wasn't the first time that my wolf was acting so restless and impatient. I was never trained or learned how to fight like a warrior. Nor did I have great strength or special powers like Diana who could use her eyes to hypnotize the opponent's wolves. But every time, a fight occurred, my wolf was always pushing me to fight. I had to waste all my energy to shut her down so that her actions wouldn't lead me to deep trouble. She hated me for this but trust me, I was doing it for our well-being.
Vlad gripped my hair with more force, pushing me to the walls to bang my head against it. But suddenly hasty, running footsteps came from the stairs with multiple voices,
" Alpha...Alpha...we have to get out of the pack house.. right away..."
Vlad let me go suddenly, his voice sounding hoarse,
" Why..wh.. what..the fuck.. happened..."
His beta and petrol guards were all panting, appearing scared. His beta answered, taking a mouthful of air,
" The Dragon... the dragon king...they..they are hunting our pack members...They want our territory possibly.."
Vlad growled, fighting hard to stay sober despite his heavily drunken state,
" How..how can this happen...we were okay..even two months..the king had a chat.. with me..in the inn..."
His beta face turned grim before replying in a serious voice,
" The former king is dead. He..he is killed and his son has taken over the throne. His son has killed him. The new king is cruel, a killer.."
Vlad growled again, sharpening his gaze in disbelief,
" So..fast..who took the throne? His sons were on my side..how could..this happen...Why are they attacking us?"
His beta broke into a cold sweat. At the same time, I heard screams, coming out of the pack house. I couldn't understand why there was an attack. I hated wars and blood. As far as I remember, no attack happened during the past decade. Then why did the dragons attack the werewolves all of a sudden? Did Vlad do something wrong to them?

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
Oops, Wrong Girl to Bully
My back hit the desk. Pain exploded through my skull.
"Girls like you don't get to dream about guys like Kai." Bella's breath was hot on my face. "You don't get to write pathetic love letters."
She shoved me again. Harder.
"Maybe if you weren't such a desperate little—"
I fell. My head cracked against the corner.
Warmth trickled down my neck. Blood.
Their laughter turned to gasps.
The door slammed.
I tried to stand. Couldn't. The room was spinning, fading to black.
