The vein in his neck twitched while his hands convulsed violently as if stopping himself from wrapping around the little omega's neck standing before his mate....that little female that had an aphrodisiacal aroma, he could not wait to fill up her body with his seed, so much so that she would be nothing but his doll ready to take him in whenever he wished it.

No matter how many people were there, she must be his perfect sex slave.

The demeanor of the pack house changed with his presence. A little girl was pushed by his slave behind her.

Alpha Adrian stalked towards Persephone, fire in her sapphire eyes still flaring like embers.

He hated the courage she possessed,the power she asserted....a born Luna who didn't required an Alpha to rule. Adrian had tried to repress her in all ways possible after the death of her parents but she was like a weed and no matter what she did not left her pride.

His blue orbs took in the way she stood. with grace and honor, her body untouched, immersed in innocence ....still being untamed, wild with her intoxicating scent provoking him. He wanted to taint her in ways that she must never rise or think.

A woman whose only job was to always stay pregnant and at home.

A forced smile made a way to his lips...soon he will breed her with his pups and when he would be done, he would show the pathetic mutt her place....only if it wasn't for her delicious body.

He needed a woman to keep under his shoe, the one who would quench his insatiable sexual thirst but the only problem was his wolf Mason.

Mason cared for her, he wanted to meet her wolf....her wolf which he couldn't sense but how was that possible when she sure was a werewolf?

"Alpha, they are starving..." his body went rigid hearing that euphonious sound....if only he could crush those worthless creatures and show the woman her place....his bed and beneath him.

"Jason, give the omegas as much food as they want." he replied not removing his eyes from her, only they wouldn't be wanting it from tomorrow.

The head cook came forward with his frame trembling as the Black moon Alpha ordered everyone to sit.

All of them watched their Alpha and future Luna in awe..... Alpha was really changing. While Persephone watched him with unbelieving eyes as he took a seat beside her, something was dubious or was this man really trying?

Absence of light is darkness...absence of conscience is evil....don't trust a monster. Don't sell your soul.

If only she knew.....

Even an hour wasn't passed and the screams and cries echoed throughout the arena.

"THROW THAT PATHETIC OMEGA IN DUNGEON!" the Alpha ordered the cell guard in a voice that made them all tremble.

"Whip them all till their skin breaks and make sure that little mutt gets special treatment." Adrian roared, his voice getting dangerously low at the end glaring at Lily.

He sat down to watch as their torment.

Lily whimpered, tears freely flowing down her face, her big brown eyes pleading as other children completely froze, their face becoming pale with fear,huddled in the corner with their eyes blown wide.

"PERSEPHONE!" A scream of pure agony tore through Lily's heart as the man came closer to her.

'My Queen... Luna....your people need you.... Persephone.'

Persephone rose from her sleep drenched in sweat, her hair a tangled mess, a sheer silk cloth adoring her physique with her heart beating wild..who was that?

That strangely euphonious voice calling out to her as if waking her up from the sleep.

Apprehension clouded her vision as soon as she saw lights blooming in the dungeon from her small glass window. No stars were visible in the sky as storm clouds engulfed the atmosphere making her breathing became labored.

Fear, anguish, torment, fury and above all protectiveness washed over her but those weren't her emotions....it were her mate's- her true mate's.....whom she didn't know.

She rushed outside the pack house barefoot, running towards the dungeon like a maniac.

"Luna you can't enter." the guard tried stopping her but froze as soon as he looked into her eyes- an unquestionable command, he moved aside seeing her distraught state, it was not her original azure irises but her eyes have changed their colour to glorious silver.

Persephone's POV

A loud wailing resonated- a child... Lily?

Fire engulfed my insides watching the scene in front of me, the heinous crime which was being committed shook me to the core.

Revenge.... Death... I was going to kill him.

Ferocity in my eyes made the monster who was going to whip Lily halt in his movements. Such cruelty bestowed upon a child, they were sinners, and they were going to pay for their deeds.

Torturing instruments adorned the wall, a silver flexible sword blade attracted my attention, picking it up I glided my finger across the sharp edge.

I stalked towards him...circling my prey. The slashing sound of blade echoed like a thunderbolt striking. A loud cry resonated as his eyes rolled in his head- dead.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Adrian's hand clasped my shoulder in a bruising grip as his harsh glare fell on the child hiding behind me.

Snatching Lily his fingers gripped her hair with force to which she screamed.

'Red.... Blood.....

My Luna.... My Queen....no one can harm you.' that voice again whispered in my ears as if telling me to fight, as if that person would not let anyone touch me.'

A powerful aura filled with unconstrained nefarious power summoned the surroundings.

Alpha Adrian's laid limp at his sides, three huge claw marks slit his chest with deep scarlett blood gushing out as his wolf Mason was forced down heavily by his head whimpering.

Nobody is going to harm them, their Queen was protecting them.

But unknown to the Queen her true king was protecting her.

*******************

The Rule of Alphas

Kindness is often mistaken as fragility while viciousness as an insigna of strength.

Love runs the world ....trust builds it, love is unconditional but trust is sparse.

Never challenge an Alpha, the unspoken rule or if you do make sure he takes his last breaths in your feet.

Persephone was always aware of the consequences of her actions. Hurting your mate was considered as the highest crime...the punishment- trial and death but hurting an alpha could make her fall into the depths of heavy torment.

Running with the children late at night the sky seemed to glow with the celestial glimmers.

Their steps came to an abrupt halt as all five children stared doe eyed towards a beautiful clearing leading to a path, lit with thousands of fireflies, sacred blue lilies adorned the small stream running nearby.

A beautiful sight which seemed to calm the hearts of the younglings.

"You have to run with all your might, that's the Alpha's house in front of you ...... kids don't look back no matter what happens...now just run."

She kissed them farewell as they have reached their destination- The border of the Shadow Pack, the Alpha was alerted, he was a friend of her dead father and a very kind being so even when Persephone had no idea of her own life she would never endanger the lives of those children. She would not run with them and involve a pack war.

If her death can liberate others then so be it.

As she saw them sprinting towards their destination after hugging her tightly she took off in another direction, now shifting into her wolf....a unique one,

The rustling of leaves could be clearly heard and the predatory aura surrounding her increased to folds- the pack warriors.

***************************

Persephone's POV

All eyes were on me glaring accusingly, they didn't saved the children nor they wanted me to. They knew a child was being harmed still chosed to keep quiet....

Be Merciful

Alpha Adrian stalked menacingly towards me, gripping my chin with one hand his other one yanked my hair behind roughly producing a burning sensation on my scalp.

"Do you accept your wrongdoings?" I saw his bandages and gave a bone chilling smile.

"Yes, except it was NOT wrong."

"I will teach you a lesson which you will remember till your death, I will break you and you will willingly surrender to me, you will fucking LEARN your place. THROW THIS MUTT IN DUNGEON"

I watched as no one came forward, no words spoken in my defense as two men extended their hands to take me there.

I looked up raising my head first time in last hour since I was being held, both of them flinched back when I met their stare- an unvoiced command.

Adrian's hand held me in a vice grip as he began dragging me to the cell when suddenly a sharp burn stabbed in my stomach, I froze and doubled in pain as my hands held his unconsciously.

I looked up at him when he gave me an all knowing malicious grin....he knew...he knew I was going to be in heat.

I howled with discomfort and pain as he threw me inside the cellar... red scrotching heat submerging me, blisters started forming on my skin.

"You will learn mutt, till then enjoy."

I layed there limp with no sounds escaping me as fire seemed to burn my insides.

A strong gust of wind from the small window above caressed my cheek, whirling around me....serenity, peace. It felt like my body seemed to forget all about my mat-

Another wave of anguish ripped through my stomach, my body curling into the fetus position.

"MY LORD!" I screamed as tears poured down my eyes but this pain was different, it seemed to originate from my heart.......my mate was touching someone else.

It was extremely painful for a mate to bear their other half touching someone else when they have already met but this monster he purposefully did it in my heat.

Lord! He was having sex with another. Tears of vulnerability fell silently from my eyes....wait what was that....My heat was not over neither has that cheater of a man had stopped his revolting deed.

My heart clenched as it became warm, placid, feeling...loved? Was that even possible?

It almost felt like someone was sharing my sorrows, taking my sufferings upon their ownself, a surge of energy started flowing through my body with the wind caressing my soft curls..... I thanked the goddess shaking my head at the stupid thought of someone doing it to me.

I layed there basking in the warmth and protection that the breeze seemed to carry with it, petrichor- the smell of rainy soil filled my lungs rejuvenating my broken spirit.

Time seemed to flow smoothly.....it almost felt like my soul was searching for this.

---------

I was standing in front of the magnanimous gathering of wolves- the Black moon pack with Adrian sitting on the stage with some officials.

"Persephone you harmed your mate, now is your only chance to accept your mistake."

Adrian smirked as he watched me with eyes of a predator, I scanned the pack members....no regrets, no mercy.

Release the beast.

"You may speak Persephone." Adrian ordered.

"I, Persephone Rya, reject you Alpha Adrian Black as my mate."

Time the most powerful ascendancy, the supreme controller of fate is never merciful. Rippling like waves in ocean, the power of universe remembers.

The full moon which hasn't appeared in last nineteen year seemed to display it's glory in it's incomplete form... suddenly it's glow dimmed, the blackness previously covering a part seemed to seep to it's other half.

Selene's heart thrummed in her chest, the note of rejection ringing in her ears....she shouldn't have done that, should not have left Persephone alive.

A bright light glimmered above her drawing all her energy and glow from her skin making her turn into the beastly form which she was damned with years ago.

Punishment of her devious deed..the reminiscent of past..the same bond given by her to Persephone seemed to open it's knots... the red one separating from the shining golden.

Adrian ripped off from Persephone.

The red bond burned into fumes as the eyes of the moon goddess widened- Death.... Adrian will die soon.

The golden one mingled with the silver thread from which it was seperated- the original bond.

Persephone mingling with Hades.

A dark black rose engulfed with silver thorns replaced the bond which disappeared in sky, it's glitter like essence sprinkled on the rose then falling in Selene's palm ..a drop of liquid gushing out from her finger pierced by the thorn- Blood......

If she is going to die Persephone would die too.

--------------------------------------------------

Gasps could be heard throughout the ceremony. The elders trembled with rage as Alpha Adrian's eyes widened.

He couldn't believe the girl had that in her....so much courage, his wolf howled with pain , they knew....he knew that he was always destined to be mateless but seeing her standing in the field of roses that day when Mason growled "Mate"....he couldn't be happier.... a female made for him.

She was a rare beauty but right now the girl standing in front of him was a hollow vessel, her eyes were blank, their usual brightness long gone replaced with disgust.

He didn't regretted having sex with another, if she couldn't state his hunger someone else will. His fists clenched....that bitch rejected him for such a petty cause.

If he cannot have her then no one else will. She will die.

"Persephone Rya, I, Alpha Adrian punish your crime for disrespecting and hurting your Alpha and Mate and Rejecting the bond by death. You shall be burned alive."

She closed her eyes with a sharp intake of breath. Opening it just to observe the men creating a circle of fire around her. She met their stare, sweeping a single glance across every one and no one in particular.

They didn't have any regrets, neither came forward, no one opposed...cowards because of whom the children suffered throughout their lives.....now she understood why these werewolves couldn't have children.....they were monstors....they didn't wanted that burden.

"You all will die,

your soul shall be mine, the last drop of the blood clensing your sins,

your torments will not end until death and death won't show mercy.

Only that will do justice, I will return to avenge, for vengeance, for the last drop of blood, for crushing your bones. The Alpha of the Black moon, you shall pay."

They had to face her Wrath

That bone chilling voice got grave at the end, the calmness was haunting, people watched wide eyed as it dawned on the elders- the oath of blood, Adrian's legs shook with the impact.

She shall rise, she will kill, she will massacre each one of them and the most bitter death would be his.

The course of wind changed, red flames reaching high above stared swirling furiously without touching their prey, black fumes rose like a whirlwind converting the flames to black ice crystals.

Persephone's face remained calm just as her heart like it was something that her soul was waiting for centuries and at last the anticipation was over.

He was here.

The almighty race of werewolves were forced on their knees by an invisible force. Only one remain raised on her feet, her head high.. Persephone

Their knees scraped as their heads bowed down to the ferocious mystery.

Adrian's hand trembled as indecipherable fear settled in his heart- the trepidation and terror of unknown.

The omnipotent moon darkened to onyx- the fury of the power seemed to diminish it's courage.

Hail King Hades

His masculine built emerged from smoke breaking the black ice. Just a flick of his fingers and the werewolves rose their head.

Letting them watch the beginning of their end.

His eyes met Persephone... that goddess, the bluestone sapphire eyes sparkling with unfathomable mirth.

Dark brown hair with voluminous curls seems to call out to him for tracing his hands in them.

Those full cherry red lips called out to him...perfection...she was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on..How can someone so pure be his- the ruler of darkness.

He watched her with utter affection just as she traced his form with her doe eyes.

Those grey eyes seemed to sparkle like thousand suns. The starry night sky emersed, bathing in them.

Dark lush locks like bronze seem to be sprawled on his forehead, that jaw...so sharp so beautiful...he was looking like wine...so addictive.

She would die and sell her soul if that offered a glance at him. She gulped his presence like she was thristy for it living so long without him.

His crimson lips parted for only one word to leave which shattered her, her trance long forgotten and trust gone.

"Mate"
