Chapter 2
Isabella’s pov
I feel like my life is slowly being sucked out of my body. Leaving me more lifeless than i was before. Being abused and not loved is a different thing and being rejected by your mate is an entirely different thing.
A week has passed since that day and no one know what happened. Mason threatened me.
Now he beats me openly and no one does nothing about it. They join in sometimes. My life has been worse than it was. I tried to kill myself sometimes but nora did not let me.
I have to survive all this. I am afraid. Of everything. The men that beat me. The women that burn me. Everything. I do not speak. I don’t scream. I only silently bare the pain they inflict upon me in hopes that death will be finally bestowed upon me to release me from here.

The same day the above scene happened
Damien’s pov
Sometimes i think i have the worst case of bad luck in the whole entire universe!
I have to work non-stop. Pack meetings, travelling to other packs, different events that Alpha’s are f****d to go to, etc..
I am a cruel alpha. I agree, but i don’t want my pack to suffer at all. I want them happy. But still a very important part of me is missing. My mate. My Pack’s Luna.
I am 20 now and i am still looking for her. I think i should just give up. I travel a lot in hopes of finding her. But i guess i will have to stop now.
Today there is a get together among the Alpha’s of different Pack’s. It is held every year at a different Pack. This time its at the howlers. Honestly i am not a fan of that pack. I have heard the Alpha was the beta of the pack and received the position after mating with the Alpha’s daughter. Which is really cheap of him because she is not his real mate.
I stand in front of my full length mirror and adjust my suit. When im satisfied i walk in my closet for my watch and wallet.
I look at my closet and sigh. About a month ago i was on a run around the city border when my wolf started screaming ‘mate’ in my head and i was this close to finding her but i lost the scent. In hopes of finding her i had emptied half of my closet for her.
I take my necessary thing and exit my room. I put on a stone hard face on. No one has seen me smiling except for a few close ones and i intend to keep it that way. I meet my beta outside the pack house.
We reach our destination in an hour. We exit our cars and were welcomed by the Alpha Mason and Luna morgana. We greeted each other and were soon joined by other Alpha’s, their Luna’s and Beta’s.
We were seated in the big living room. Drinks were served and all were engaged in small talks. I was incredibly bored. I needed to get out of here. No one was talking to me, they were terrified of me and i liked it that way. I mind linked Nate, my beta that im going out for a stroll.
I excused myself. I was finally free. I walked out and instantly got lost. This place is like a maze!
I don’t know how but i ended up in the kitchen. I looked around and caught a sent. Honey and cinnamon. ‘mate’ my wolf yelled in my head. I started doing a happy dance in my head. I frantically looked around but nothing.
Then i focused on the sent. It’s coming from a cabinet in the kitchen. But thats not all, the sent is mixed with a metallic smell of b***d. I mind linked Nate and within 5 seconds he was with me.
I quickly opened the cabinet but what i saw broke my heart. My mate.
I carefully pulled out her tiny body out of the cabinet and set it on the floor. Her body was covered in her own b***d. Black and blue bruises were on her body. Her breath was short ragged.
I took unconscious body in my arms and went to the living room. Nate following closely behind me. As soon as i entered i heard people gasp.
I laid my mate’s fragile and tiny body on the couch.
“SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR!” I yelled at the people who were just staring at my unconscious mate in shock.
After a minute or two a lady in a lab coat came in. Must be the doctor.
She pulled a chair beside her and started examining her.
After examining her she called for us. I ran towards my mate and held her hand instantly.
” What’s wrong with her? Is she fine? What happened? When will she wake up?” I asked the doctor desperately.
“She is fine Alpha. She has multiple bruises on her body and i guess the injury on her head lead to her being passed out. Her 6 bones are broken and she is extremely underweight. Her tiny frame isn’t helping either. And staying in the cabinet for too long cut off her oxygen supply temporarily. And according to me she should be conscious by tomorrow morning.” She explained.
I nodded and she bowed and left.
That’s when i realised something. Why the hell does she has bruises? Why was she in the cabinet? And the main question..
Who did this to her!?!!
My sadness was soon turned into anger on the thought of anyone harming my gem of a mate.
I rapidly turn around to face the Alpha’s. Specifically Alpha Mason.
“What is the meaning of this Alpha Mason?” I said extremely calm.
He gulped.
“Uh-she, she is really clumsy and keeps falling o-on thin a-air. And about the cabinet…some kids might ha-ave pra-anked her maybe?” He said
“Who did this to her!?!” I yelled, i had enough of his lying already.
He remained silent
“Answer the Alpha! Who did this to our Luna?!” Nate yelled in protection of his luna.
“Luna?! She isn’t the luna! She is an omega! She-” before he could continue i grabbed his throat and backed him to the wall.
“A word against her and i will rip your head off your body!” I growled.
