Chapter Two
Callista Point of view.
A slave to the ruthless Alpha.
My head was beating fast as I moved inside the hall. I stood upright,taking in the beauty of the magnificent hall we had just entered. Everybody was also gathered, old, young, short, tall, girls, boys, beautiful, and handsome. Guests kept dropping in as we came already thirty minutes earlier before the beginning of the event. The place was decorated with beautiful lights, curtains. The light from the room illuminated the whole place. It felt like an angel from the sky came specially to design the place. I was in awe as I kept looking at the whole place captivated by the decoration. I quickly adjusted my puffy red gown that Athena has given to me, and tried my best to walk majestically in my pair of high heels. I saw my reflection in the mirror and watched as the scars on my face caused by my step mom protruded so visibly that though I tried to cover it up with concealer it wasn't possible.
My step sister on the other hand was a beauty to behold. Her dress was made of gold and silver. My step mom has ensured that it was sewn by a designer ordered from abroad. I looked at the dress slyly as I silently envied her and wished I was in her position.
I was clueless and left the party all by myself. I had not been exposed to a lot of people as I had no friends. I was always indoor attending one service in the house or to another. I stood still like a statue observing the whole event. " Welcome, you all to the annual werewolf gathering". Alpha Jasper announced to the crowd. "
I watched as Athena chuckled and moved close to her mom. " At least, we will get to make good use of her for once". What does she mean? I thought this was a party organized for finding your true mate and not the other way round.
My heart raced and I was becoming scared. What was my step mother's true intention for allowing me to attend this party?. I looked at my dad and watched as he kept talking with the Alpha of the Duskfire pack. He pointed in my direction several times. The warriors of the pack walked towards me and took hold of me as they led me through a different path aside from the rest of the crowd. I quietly followed them though I was scared. I whispered to my dad who was still having a conversation with the Alpha. But he pointed at me to go with them. " You will be fine, Callista, '' he said. The Alpha counted a sum of money and gave to my dad who collected it and smiled. Does it mean that they have finally gotten rid of me? I tried to ignore the pain that is radiating deep inside of me due to how my father so easily giving me away as a slave. My eyes were flooded with tears. How could he do this to me? All my life I thought he loved me and would change his attitude towards me. But it happened that all their plans allowing me to the party was to sell me as a slave to the Alpha. My heart was shattered and broken into a million pieces. How will I get to find my mate? I was dumbfounded. But did I truly expect anything less? No, after all these years of being used and tossed aside, this was what I should expect and I was a fool to think otherwise.
I gaze at my step mom and her daughter. I watched as they both pretended to be sad but let out a mockery laugh as the warrior tied my hands and took me along with them. I was relieved a bit at least I would get to have a life away from the both of them. The two evil geniuses. I cursed them both.
Life with them has been a living hell. Though I was scared and uncertain.I tried to resist but I was forcefully dragged by the warrior to the designated place meant for slaves like me. How does it feel to be a slave? A slave to the Alpha of the Duskfire pack. What awaits me? I bow my head and sob gently, unable to be consoled as my head starts to ache from crying out for a very long time. I ended up accepting my cruel fate. Indeed I wasn't meant to be happy. I guess.
