The Cursed Alpha's Luna: Sold to the beast

Chapter One

~Mirella~

I stared at the beast in front of me. My heart thudded loudly in my chest... Yes, I was warned not to show how terrified I was and that if I did, it could lead to my death, but who wouldn't be terrified of this huge beast snarling at me?

I was frozen on the spot; it was like all the organs in my body stopped working, and all I could do was stare at the beast, afraid that if I blinked, then I would be gone-for life.

My wolf Lyra was shouting at me through the mind link, telling me to run, but where would I go? I had no place to go. No one would accept me!

I was an illegitimate child whose mother was nothing but a pawn in my father's game. He didn't accept me as his child, and life was hell in his pack; to make matters worse, I was born an omega, different from my late beta Mom and Alpha Dad. I was an outcast, and the only thing I was good for in the pack was to be sold to the cursed Alpha.

This beast right here was the cursed Alpha I was sold to. Alpha Kaelan Silverstone, Alpha of the Silvermist pack!

My dad's voice echoed in my head. "Your sacrifice will secure protection for the pack. We'll have redemption; we'll have power. You're no longer a child. Do this, and you'll never want for anything again."

At that moment, I wanted the man who only donated his sperm to be burned alive. How could he do this to a child of his own?

Selling his own daughter just to avoid a war!

I wanted to scream at him and tell him I was worth more than that, but being the weakling I was, badly trained to keep my mouth shut by my mother in order to survive, I said nothing and nodded my head like a fool.

The beast took a step forward, and my heart sped faster than before. Is this my end?

I could feel the warmth of his breath on my skin; he was too close.

He growled at me, and my body shuddered. I let out a whimper, my lips shaking.

I've heard tales of how he'd lost control and killed his pack members in a spiraling rage. Every werewolf was terrified of him; they tried everything to bring this beast down, but nothing they did could do that; it only ended their lives, and all they could do was bring a fertile female to satiate his needs.

His dark red eyes glowing in the dark pierced mine; it was like he was studying his prey before killing them. Tears strolled down from my hazel eyes uncontrollably, accepting defeat.

I hiccuped and closed my eyes, awaiting my demise. Instead of feeling my head off my body, I heard him whisper in my ears.

"Run!" I flung my eyes open, unsure of what I'd heard.
