Selena's POV
"My baby! Andrew, you k****d my baby!"
I screamed at the top of my lungs as the feeling of grief engulfed me. I had just witnessed my husband spill our newborn's blood.
The Beta wolf in front of me, hovering over the d**d baby, growled at me before bones cracked as it shifted into a tall and muscular man. This is my fated mate, Andrew Jake, and the father of the baby he just murdered.
"I'm making the necessary sacrifices for my greatness, Selena. That's why I'm waging a war against your father; to take his place and unite all three packs of this city under my reign. I must become the Ultimate Alpha of Cold-Den Valley, no matter the cost. I'm sorry, my love."
I sobbed heavily as the loss of my child clawed at my heart. I could see the old witch who was brought here by my husband, chanting a demonic spell upon me as I was placed in the center of a mystical formation. She then informed my husband.
"The ritual demands that you cause your wife more grief. I won't be able to sever her ties with her wolf unless she reaches that breaking point."
My eyes turned to slits as my Omega wolf, Jadette, attempted to claw out and attack my husband out of great anger, but the demonic chant from the witch prevented me from shifting. I was also forcefully held down by two Beta werewolves under my husband's command.
I had just given birth when Andrew broke into the labor room and massacred the midwives who had helped me deliver the baby. I couldn't do anything as I was too weak from delivering our baby boy.
My husband, as the head of warriors in my pack, commanded his subordinates. "Bring in her captured relatives."
Hearing this, fear grew within my chest as I saw my relatives and my friends, all bound in heavy chains. They looked extremely weak, and I soon realized that they'd been poisoned by Wolf's bane.
"Andrew, I'm begging you! Don't touch them!" I felt miserable and helpless.
My husband looked into my eyes as he gave the order. "Kill them all!"
I screamed in turmoil as I was forced by the two Betas holding me down, to watch as my husband's subordinates shifted and killed every single familiar face.
"No!!!"
I was in a world of hurt and the only thread of comfort that kept me sane was my wolf. Still, I heard the old witch tell my husband.
"We're getting close. You need to cause her more pain."
I shook my head as I shut my eyes and cried bitterly. I didn't want to know whose death I'd be forced to witness yet.
Then I heard the most heartbroken voice.
"Selena, are you okay?"
I gasped as I snapped my eyes open to find my mother, Luna Joanne of the Moon-Valley Pack, also in chains. I could tell that she had been poisoned as well.
"No, not my mom!"
My heart had stopped beating as I saw my husband shift into his wolf and lunged towards my mother. I couldn't look away from my mother's wide eyes as she was being torn apart by Andrew's wolf. The second she was dead, I could see the soul gone from her eyes.
This was where I finally snapped into pieces. "Mama! Mama!!!" I became a child as I began thrashing in futility.
"Her spirit is broken!"
I could hear the twisted joy in the old witch's voice and it drove me mad.
"Andrew, you murderer!" I kept yelling these words until I suddenly felt a foreign force enter my body, and this force attached itself to Jadette, my wolf.
Before I could make sense of what was going on, I lost all sense of connection with Jadette, and I suddenly felt incredibly empty, like I had become a walking corpse.
I looked up to find the old witch holding a white light in the air. I immediately recognized Jadette. It was too late though, as I watched Andrew's wolf open its jaw and devoured my wolf.
"Jadette! No!" I began wailing weakly as I lay on the ground. The Beta werewolves holding me finally let go as the ritual was over.
Then I watched through blurred vision as Andrew walked over to me to caress my head like I was his pet.
"Thank you, my dear, for being the greatest sacrifice I needed to get to my destiny. I'll forever treasure your last gift to me."
"You betrayed my love, my pack, and our bond, all for power." I began to lose consciousness from feeling extremely drained. "I swear by the moon goddess, I'll make you regret everything you did today."
My traitorous husband chuckled darkly as he whispered in my ears. "That can only happen if I allow you to keep living." Then I heard the last words directed at his warriors. "Take my wife to the wild river and drown her. Then bring me her corpse."
I cursed the day I became fated to a cruel man like Andrew as I lost consciousness.
Somehow, I survived that night.
By the time I woke up, I had lost all memories of my past. I was in a foreign place known as Adage City. For some reason, I recall having heard about this mega city - the city where the most powerful breed of werewolves thrive.
I was found by a bar owner called Madame Sweet. In order to survive, I had no choice but to work for her. Not to mention that, according to her, I owe $400,000 for the two-months-worth of medical treatment she gave me while I was unconscious.
She tricked me into signing myself to her. The following five months of working at this bar made me realize the mistake I had made though.
Madame Sweet has tried to 'rent' out my body to customers who can afford me, but it never worked out well, especially for these customers, who, for some reason, become haunted by their worst nightmares every time they try to sleep with me.
I was cleaning the tables and chairs in the bar when I heard Madame Sweet calling for me.
"Selena, come to my office."
I knew better than to keep her waiting so I dropped my chores.
On my way to Madame Sweet's office, I passed by the other young ladies who I worked with in this bar. They all glared and sneered at me. I was used to the fact that they all hated me deeply. This is mostly because customers pay more for me than they ever do for them. It was basically jealousy.
I got to the boss's office and I could see a busty woman seated behind the desk, fixing up her makeup for the hundredth time today.
"There you are. I want you to prepare yourself tonight. There's a one-of-a-kind V-VIP coming in tonight. I can't disclose his identity but I've bragged about you to him. So tonight, you'll be serving him. Now listen, you better not offend him, or I'll make you pay dearly for it."
That night, I felt uncomfortable in the incredibly slutty dress that Madame Sweet made me wear. I then carried a tray of alcohol up to the special room. I was a bit surprised to find there were no bodyguards by the entrance. Isn't this V-VIP customer supposed to be rich or something?
I knocked on the door. "Sir, I'm your private hostess for tonight."
"Come in."
I heard the distant masculine voice, so I walked in with a seductive gait and a trained smile.
"Good evening, Sir. I'm Selena, your....."
I was shocked by what I saw.
