 The pack warrior chuckled.

"How comical! You thought you could escape? Nitwit!" he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Sir, I've found her. Where do I take her to?" he asked.

Soon, he cut the call and placed the phone back in his pocket.

"Follow me. Don't attempt to slip away coz if you do, I'll just end you right here. My job is just to deliver you to him whether dead or alive." he warned before turning around to face another direction.

Lavana was depressed.

"I'm so unlucky." she said to herself and started following the pack warrior. A million thoughts raced through her mind.

After everything, she's unexpectedly caught and been led to somewhere. Who was she going to meet? Was it that evil Alpha Blake or his son who rejected her?

Either way, she was toast.

*********

15 minutes later

The pack warrior pushed a weak Lavana to the ground with force. She thought his hands were made of iron.

How could he be so strong? Why is she thinking that? He is a pack warrior anyway. What did she expect of his strength? An ant's?

She struggled to rise and saw Chase coming towards her, looking like a bereaved bear.

Her heart nearly leapt out of her chest. So it was true!

She was led back to Chase!

The pack warrior left, seeing he had fulfilled his mission.

"You are such a pain." Chase said as he eventually stood in front of her.

"Please, let me go. You don't want me. I admit that I'm trash; not worthy of being your mate, but I can't stay there anymore. Please, just let me go." she cried while hugging his leg.

Her heart throbbed when she touched his leg, but she bore it with gritted teeth.

"I don't blame you. I blame the moon goddess for purposely doing this to me. Because I don't have a Luna, I couldn't be acknowledged as Alpha last year. I went to other packs to look for my mate with zeal. I imagined her to be sexy, beautiful and at least a Beta's daughter. But look at you- a shadow of yourself. You would do a great job being a skeleton queen. I was merciful enough not to kill you after rejecting you. But instead of being grateful, you try to escape and cause us a headache. I really need to applaud you." he said with a sinister chuckle.

"Please, forgive me. I just felt the need to leave. I know you'll marry a second chance mate who's better than me. I barely survived the pain of rejection. How can I look on? How can I survive you declaring another lady as Luna? I have no inclination to be a Luna in the first place. My dream mate was just a simple person who would love me, but I'm just unlucky." she said in a parched voice.

"Wow! So you have such a big dream. Someone would love you and pamper you. Can you even listen to yourself?"

He removed her hands from his leg and squatted to her level. Then he suddenly started choking her.

"Look here! I don't wanna hear excuses. You are a trophy and a punching bag. That doesn't change. You have one choice. Return to your blessed life at Ralton pack or... you can become very rich fertiliser." he said balefully.

"Pl..Please... let me go. I will go... back with you. I will... resume my... role and serve... the pack faithfully. I will never... run again. Please!" she said with difficulty, and he let her go after a minute.

She held her throat and started coughing hard, tears cascading down her cheeks.

"Stand up." Chase commanded.

"Yes, sir!" she quickly heeded, but fell to the ground twice before managing to stand. Her knees were unsteady and her head was bowed.

Her hair covered her face once again messily.

"Before we go, let me enlighten you with your role once again, because I think you might have forgotten your identity."

"Please... I.. I didn't forget... I never forgot it. I know my role. I was ungrateful. Please... I won't do it again." she implored.

"Shut up!" he yelled, and she zipped her lips. Her shoulders quivered.

Chase took out a silver razor whip from his pocket.

"I've been stressed out for no reason, all because of you. How can you compensate me?" he asked with a wicked smile.

She didn't reply, and he hit her right shoulder with the whip.

She dare not make a sound as he went on lashing her. She fell to the ground and rolled about in misery, but that did not stop him.

"I'm coming out!" Lavana heard Pamela speak. Her wolf had woken up.

"You are an Omega. Can you handle him? He might not be acknowledged as the pack's Alpha yet, but the fact still remains that his wolf is an Alpha wolf. You..."

"Do you trust me?" Pamela asked.

"I...I...I do!"

"Now, let me out. I'm sick of this bastard!" Pamela said with displeasure in her tone. But she suddenly held her chest. She was still absorbing the anguish of rejection.; the higher the rank of the wolf who rejected you, the more the pain.

"Pamela, please, you haven't recovered. You've already helped by absorbing that much pain. Let me bear the rest." Lavana said to her wolf, but she wouldn't listen.

"No! I must fight him. He needs to learn that you are a gem; a hidden gem." Pamela yelled.

Suddenly, Lavana ceased rolling about in agony. She crouched and stared balefully at Chase. Her eyes changed color.

"Stupid boy, I'm gonna kill you." Pamela was now in control as Lavana's voice was deep.

She growled, and her bones snapped.

Chase paused the whipping and watched her transform into an Omega wolf. He had to admit that though her human self was nothing to write home about, her wolf form was definitely not.

For an Omega, she isn't bad looking; her white fur was beautiful, so was her structure, and her current fierceness was fitting too.

"What am I thinking? Am I starting to like her? No, that can't happen! She's a rubbish; am Omega. She isn't worthy of me." he convinced himself, shaking off any incoming romantic thought.

"Don't you try this again." he warned his wolf.

He focused on Lavana's pissed wolf, that kept on staring at him like he was already a dead man.

"What's that stare for? Are you trying to scare me? Hahaha!" he snickered.

Lavana's wolf growled and jumped at him in fury.

Chase chuckled and used the whip to hit her. But it didn't deter her as she rose again and ran towards him.

Chase somersaulted and shifted in mid-air. He then landed in his wolf form.

He looked twice larger than Lavana's wolf.

"You are gonna get it, damn Omega!" he mind linked her, and she bared her teeth at him.

"I'm not afraid of you. Come, deliver your neck to me." Pamela replied telepathically.

"Haha! I wanna see how an Omega who can't stand on its feet properly, will defeat me." he finally said before pouncing on her.

The two started a fierce fight using their paws and mouth. Pamela couldn't leave a scratch on Chase's wolf, but instead got several bites and claw marks. Her white fur became stained with blood all over.

She felt weaker by the moment, but refused to give up.

"Pamela, you've done enough. Please, go back in. Pamela!"

"I want to kill him. I hate him!" Pamela said to Lavana and ran towards Chase again.

She was only two feet away from him before she collapsed to the ground, barely breathing. Her eyes blinked slowly. Her vision became fuzzy.

Chase returned to human form and walked to her, laughing.

"You couldn't even last 5 minutes. How pitiful. Maybe I should let you go since you are injured." he placed his right hand on his chin and pretended to think.

"Oh, I think Ralton pack is the best place for you. Let me take you back to your blessed life. Make sure to thank me later." he grabbed her by the tail and started pulling her away.

Pamela whimpered and made other sounds of agony, even trying to struggle off his grip, but he was too strong.

In the end, Pamela fainted and but did not let Lavana take cntrol.

*******

Ralton pack.

The warriors sent out were receiving their punishment in the punishment hall for not finding her, but the one secretly sent out by Chase received praises from Alpha Blake earlier on.

Soon, Chase came into the pack land, unclothed, and dragging an unconscious Omega wolf by its tail.

The pack members did not recognize this wolf.

"I've brought her back. Our trophy is back." Chase announced, and many applauded.

His father walked to him and patted his shoulders.

"Good job, my dear son. Alright, place her in a small cage. She will be there for a three days without food and water. Then she can see what the dungeons look like. I'm being lenient coz this is the first time she made such a huge mistake. Hopefully, she can learn a thing or two from this." Alpha Blake announced.

Everyone cheered. During the time she'd be in a cage, they can do whatever they want to this stupid wolf.

At this moment, Chase's eyes changed color and started sniffing.

Alpha Blake and the others watched him walk to Beta Lucas' daughter, Jacinta, who had turned 17 a day before.

She was a head shorter than him, exquisite, with nice, smooth skin. She had curves in the right places and her eyes could draw one to look at them forever.

She always had a crush on him and no one could tell the excitement she was feeling deep inside. This was a dream come true.

Chase smirked and caressed her face. So soft were her cheeks. Her lips were so tempting already.

"MATE!" he exclaimed before lowering his head and sinking his already elongated canines into the right side of her neck.

She flinched for a moment before relaxing as the pain subsided.

"My mate!" she exclaimed, and hugged Chase happily.

Seeing this, everyone cheered.

"Congratulations, Congratulations!" they chorused.

"This calls for a grand celebration. We are partying all night long." Alpha Blake declared, causing more screams.

Chase smiled and hugged the Beta's daughter tight.

His canines reduced to normal, and he started a deep, long kiss with his beautiful mate as the pack members jubilated.

"Finally, I got a mate deserving of me." he thought in elation. "I knew I deserved better." he glanced at the unconscious Omega wolf and chuckled.

"I'm so thrilled; you are finally mine, Chase. I became your Luna." she thought in her heart.

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

It was night and Lavana, who had regained control, opened her eyes. She was still in wolf form.

She tried to stand up, but her head hit something above.

She was confused looked up. She saw that she was in a cage. It was very small. She wondered how they fit her wolf form in here. There was no space to turn around. She was stuck in a lying position.

Her whole body hurt and her fur had patches of dried blood.

Her paws were injured and she's still recovering from that. One of her legs had broken when she was being dragged by Chase to the pack. It had healed, but the leg was in a weird shape. If she could return to human form outside the cage, her leg would still be in weird shape. She would have to break it herself and set the bones to normal. But even that wasn't possible. She was locked up.

She heard music playing and cheers from a distance.

So he had really found a Luna. So from tomorrow, the Chase that she'll be seeing is an acknowledged Alpha. All in the pack are rejoicing and having the time of their lives. She bet Chase and his Luna must be the happiest.

She would have to stay here, locked up, with nothing to eat or drink. She would have to eat the cold and endure the mosquito bites while eating pains on her body.

"Mum, Dad, I should have joined you guys from the very start. I wouldn't have to go through all this." she thought sadly.

She wondered what tomorrow will be like.

Pamela was asleep after absorbing most of the rejection pain. It was better for her to be asleep coz if she was in control, there would be trouble. The other two, Oceana and Thora, showed no sign of waking up.

She prayed for sleep to come.

She was tired.

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

The next day, Lavana suddenly woke up from the hotness she felt. She had been shivering in her sleep all night long. This sudden hotness, however, wasn't welcomed by her body.

She opened her eyes to see three youths, two females and a male chuckling.

One girl held an empty pale yellow bucket that was emitting smoke. She was the one who poured such hot water onto her body. She growled, but the other female threw a stone at her left ear.

Gosh, that really hurt her!

"We have enough lessons to teach you today. Hopefully, you'll turn a new leaf." said the male who had short golden hair that was braided with a few black beads fixed into them.

He took out a small iron rod with a sharp tip and walked closer to the cage. Next, he squatted before her, smiling mischievously.

Her eyes widened in fear.

"You... what do you want to do?" she asked telepathically.

In response, he poked her hard with the rod's tip, causing her to whimper in pain.

"That's just the start."

One of the females (who had black hair tied in three ponytails and clad in purple tight-fitting short gown) took out two feathers and giggled.

"She's gonna tickle me?" Lavana was shocked and became more fearful.

Having to laugh out her pain was no pleasant experience, especially in wolf form.

The other female left and returned with a small stove.

She brought it closer to the cage and took hold of Lavana's paw.

"What do you think your paw will smell like when roasted?" she asked.

My eyes have some issues, so forgive me if I don't write in a long while. :)
