Leah, an orphaned omega, had gone through so many ordeals in her life. She was the personal maid of Alpha Aiden, a cold and malicious Alpha who ruled his pack with an iron fist. She unexpectedly turned out to be his mate, but got rejected by him. She fled the pack after a drunken night with Alpha Aiden, which resulted in a pregnancy Aiden was keen on terminating. When Leah's unborn child was prophesied to be the key to stop an impending curse that broke out in Aiden's Pack, he sought her and was determined to get her back at all costs. What would be Leah's fate as she struggled to protect her unborn child from Alpha Aiden?
Leah's POV
I hesitated for a moment, clutching the doorknob tightly, before knocking softly on Aiden's office door.
"Oh, moon goddess, please help me," I silently whispered, waiting to get permission to enter.
"Come in," He called from inside. I shivered a little when I heard his voice but tried to be calm.
"It's now or never, Leah," I said to myself. Nervously, I opened the door and stepped into the dimly lit room.
Aiden looked up from his desk with a grim expression on his face.
"What are you doing here, Leah?" he asked in a cold voice.
Taking a deep breath, I finally mustered the courage to speak.
"Alpha, I need to tell you something," I said, my heart racing at how he would react to the news I was about to break to him. Oh moon goddess! Give me the courage to continue.
"What is it? I don't have all day," he said, and resumed work. As the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, he was a very busy man.
With teary eyes, I looked at him and announced, "I am pregnant."
The words hung in the air, leaving a heavy silence between us. He suddenly stopped what he was doing and paused. After one long minute of silence, he finally looked at me and burst out laughing.
"Is that the best you could come up with? Pregnancy? You think you can maneuver your way into my life through pregnancy? You think I would make you Luna because you said you were pregnant?" He asked mockingly, staring at me with disgust.
He continued, "So, after I rejected you as my mate, you decided to come up with this nonsense, right? How desperate and shameless can you be, Leah? If you wanted to be my whore, you should have simply said so, even though I know you do not deserve to be one."
Tears streamed down my face as he hurled insults at me and made me feel worthless.
I started recalling the painful memories of how he rejected me when I found out he was my mate, his words pierced my heart and left me sad and heartbroken.
I was Aiden's personal servant, and I must confess, working with him was not an easy task. He was arrogant, cold, and often looked down on people. He was renowned for his cruel ways of punishing his enemies. Other Alphas avoided him like the plague.
On my Eighteenth birthday, I was given the day off to celebrate my birthday and also to shift to my wolf. I was so excited and went to the forest, where I would be experiencing my first shift.
However, I forgot my good luck pendant at the pack house and ran back to get it. I didn't want to experience my first shift without it.
That pendant was the only priceless possession I had from my late parents. My late father, who was the gamma to Aiden's father, was killed in a gruesome war. My mother couldn't bear the pain of losing her husband and took her own life.
With no one to care and cater for me, Aiden's parents, who were the Alpha and Luna of the pack before he finally assumed the title, decided to take me in.
When I was fifteen years old, I was made his personal servant, and I have served him for four years.
Immediately I got to the pack house, I headed to my tiny room, which was close to Aiden's room, and noticed that his door was slightly ajar.
"What are you doing here? Come inside right this minute!" He shouted at me when he spotted me close to the door. I quickly ran inside to see if he needed anything.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Are you here to torment me? Do you know how long I have been refraining myself from claiming you since I found out you are my mate seven years ago?"
What was he talking about? I looked around to find empty bottles on the floor and realized he had been drinking. As I turned to leave, he suddenly grabbed me and held me down.
He pushed me to the bed and kissed me fiercely. I couldn't believe that Aiden was actually kissing me and my body was responding to him. We slept together that night, and when I finally got my wolf, she made me realize that he was my mate.
I was scared that Aiden was my mate, but was excited to be with him. But the next morning, the sweet, gentle Aiden who made love to me last night was gone.
He woke up and scolded me for giving my disgusting self to him when he was drunk, and he didn't hesitate to reject me as his mate.
I felt so sad and agonized that he rejected me, only to find out two weeks later that I was pregnant. I had no choice but to meet him today and deliver the news to him.
"What are you still doing here?" He yelled angrily at me, bringing me back to the present time.
"We made love in your room, and I was ovulating at that time," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't think it would lead to this, but I just found out."
Within a second, He hurled a wine glass at me, which caused me to shriek and back away. Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I wiped them away with trembling hands.
He strode closer to me and held me tightly on my cheeks. I was in pain but wouldn't dare move or make a sound.
"If you know what's good for you, get rid of that bastard child immediately, or you will not live to see the next sunrise," He threatened and left his office in angry strides.
I broke down and wept uncontrollably. What was I going to do? Alpha Aiden was that kind of Alpha who never hesitated to get rid of anyone who offended him or got in his way.
Getting rid of the child before it was born was considered a taboo in our werewolf custom. It was a heavy crime punishable by death, but some she-wolves still practiced it secretly.
I couldn't bear to kill a child the moon goddess had blessed me with. If I was also killed by my parents, would I be alive today?
This child did nothing wrong and was innocent of what had transpired between Aiden and I. With a resolved mind, I did the only thing I thought was the best solution.

"Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
