Dead and woken up

Libianca's point of view

My brows furrowed when I felt the bright and slanting sun rays on my eyelids.

Immediately irritated by the unpleasant sensation, opening my eyes, I found myself in a strange room. Panic-stricken, I tried to recognize my surroundings, which were too luxurious to be my shabby room, but a smile graced my lips when memories of the previous night resurfaced. I found my fated mate and spent the night in his arms.

Excitement filled my heart at the thought of seeing him. I ignored the protest from my wobbly, sore legs to get ready to see him. He wasn't in the room, which made me a bit disappointed, but then I heard incoherent chatter coming from the sitting room.

I got out of the room and walked down the hallway to the sitting room. Then the incoherent chatter got clear, a familiar female voice, she was flirting with my mate.

I experienced a surge of conflicting emotions, prompting me to dash down the hallway to the living room. There, I was greeted by a sight that initially seemed unbelievable, but it was right in front of me.

My best friend, Nyx, was cradled in my mate's embrace, and they were making out so passionately like nothing mattered in the world. His idle hand was roaming all over her tracing her curves. For a second, everything went still; my body froze on the spot, trying to decipher the scene in front of me.

My lips parted, but I couldn't utter a word. "What the hell is happening here, Maddox?" I wanted to scream out, but only a whisper left my lips like a coward, and it broke me. Maddox heard me. He heard me because immediately, they were both brought out of their world.

Nyx only sneered at me before continuing to kiss Maddox in front of me. My breath stiffened. It felt as if my soul had ripped out of my body.

"Honey, when are you going to take out the trash? It stinks in here." Nyx flirted at Maddox, biting her lips seductively as her hands traced his chiselled chest, arousing Maddox with her every action.

My fist clenched hearing her provoking words as my daze broke. "Stay away from my mate, you witch." I managed to bark at Nyx, using all my strength not to whisper, trying my best to be strong, which was in vain because tears didn't stop pouring from my eyes like raindrops on the window panel.

Nyx was probably stunned by my unnatural tone; confusion was evident in her eyes, but she quickly recovered from the shock. Her eyes were filled with rage and disgust. "How dare you call me a witch, you dirty dog?!" She spat at me.

I was stunned when my cheeks stung because Nyx just slapped me. " Maddox just see how pathetic she is. She thinks a worthless trash like her can be your mate." Nyx sneered at me.

I turned to look at Maddox, hoping he would do something, but I was just delusional. Something flashed in his eyes, the feeling of guilt, but he averted his eyes before he drew Nyx closer to me, crushing my last hope.

My back became wet with cold sweat as fear began to creep inside of me when he stared back at me with the same disgust as Nyx's eyes. "I hope your hands don't hurt," Maddox told Nyx with affection evident in his eyes, then showered her with soft kisses.

It was unbelievable. He was the same man from last night who showed me love. Nyx rubbed her hand with a slight frown. "I am fine, my alpha. I am a beta, so things like this don't hurt me, unlike some people." Nyx mocked me, a Wolfless omega; her hands caressed Maddox's charming face.

' This had to be a nightmare, it can't be real. Nyx would never do this to me.' I tried to convince myself, slapping myself hard to wake up.

' Wake up Libianca.' I kept on repeating in my head, not wanting to believe this was my bestie.

"Why are you doing this to me?" I managed to brace myself and said through my gritted teeth, my heart beat wildly in my chest.

"Who do you think you are to question me, Libianca? Were you delusional that someone like you could be Maddox's mate?" Nyx scoffed, approaching me with steady steps, but Maddox stopped her.

He got up and walked towards me. I took a step back the closer he got to me. The corner of his lips pulled up to form a smirk when he suddenly grabbed my face and tilted my chin up.

"I thought we could be friends, Labianca." Maddox began, and I braced myself for whatever he was going to say. He is going to break me, trample on me. "But what can an omega like you offer? It is funny how you willingly threw yourself at me and who was I to refuse?" Maddox said with his eyes staring at me condescendingly.

"Maddox", I whimpered, crying.

"Oh, Labianca,"  he taunted with a sinister smile on his lips.

"Did you think I would love you because we are mates?" He paused, then his eyes got cold as he said...

"You are nothing but a weak Omega and Nyx also told me how you were probably hoping you could get fated to an Alpha. You are nothing but a..."

Before the rest of the words could escape Maddox's lips, I raised my hand to slap him, but Nyx caught my hand and twisted it; her long nails were piercing through my skin while Maddox only smiled.

"I'm done with you Labianca," Maddox said with a stoic expression on his face. He spat out every word like venom and I whimpered.

"Please, stop it." I whimpered, but Nyx didn't listen. Her nails continued to pierce through my skin until they bled.

"The best you can be is a servant to serve his bodily needs and nothing more. " She declared, then leaned close to my ears and whispered. "Don't do anything stupid; remember, I have your mother within my reach." She threatened to challenge my bottom line.

Filled with fury, I pushed Nyx away and slapped her so hard she stumbled on the floor. Maddox rushed to her aid to help her off the floor, his enraged eyes focused on me.

"Maddox, I hate you and I regret being your mate!" I screamed, staring enviously at them, wishing I was the one in his arms instead of me.

Maddox's eyes were filled with worry as he examined Nyx, who had fallen unconscious on the floor.

"Someone should get a healer here immediately!" Maddox suddenly boomed via the pack mind link to every pack member close by.

My feet moved backwards, dumbstruck. It was just a gentle push. Why was she unconscious? The look Maddox gave me seemed like he was going to rip me apart. I had to run for my life. I could not withstand the rage of an alpha.

Maddox then sent another command via the pack mind link to capture me. It officially made me a fugitive. I could not help but laugh at myself about how I just lost my pride as a woman to a jerk like Maddox.

I ran out of the building, broken and panicking. It was raining heavily outside as if the moon goddess was at my side. At least the rain would mask my scent. I don't know how long I ran, but my legs continued moving due to the adrenaline rush.

After running for what seemed like forever, I got to a silent alley where I sat down because of exhaustion, allowing the rain to continue pouring on me. A loud howl echoed from a close distance.

They were close. How did they find me so soon in the rain? My legs were cramped, and I couldn't move again. That was when I finally gave up and fell. I tried crawling but it was useless. Soon I was surrounded by large wolves circling me.

The last thing I remembered was Maddox's large silver wolf staring at me and everything turned black.

The crackling flames woke me, my body left limp, realizing I was chained to a pole with silver chains that were burning into my skin in front of a large burning fire. Everyone's eyes were on me, judging me like a heinous criminal. ' Why was I in the Pack square?' I wondered.

"We are all here to witness the punishment of a criminal among us." Maddox's voice boomed. He started making his one-sided account of what I had done; luckily, Nyx had survived but was comatose, so I couldn't be killed, but as punishment, I would be ex-communicated from the pack.

As an Omega, breaking the pack bond was as good as Killing me; there was no way I would survive the pain.

Who was he kidding? I would die from that because of my poor healing abilities, and I broke into a sadistic laugh realizing my fate. A loud cry broke out, it was my mother who was also present. I guess she realized my impending death.

"But before that, I have an announcement...." his voice boomed again, silencing everyone except my crying mother.

"I, Maddox, silver alpha of the silver moon pack, reject Libianca Dolce as my mate." He declared, making the crowd burst into confusion and surprise.

I guess none of them expected the alpha to kill his fated mate. "I won't accept your rejection." I managed to spit at him glaring furiously while gritting my teeth because of the pain that filled my body from the silver binds.

I was not going to reject him, he must suffer the pain of my death due to our incomplete mate bond. Maddox saw my determination to make him suffer and accepted my choice.

He was a strong alpha, so he could endure the death of an omega mate. "So be it." He then declared.

"From this day on, Libianca Dolce is no longer a member of the Silver Valley pack. I, as the alpha, cut every tie with you. May the goddess Selena seal this deed." Maddox chanted under the moon.

I felt a sudden pain hit me. It became hard to breathe, combined with the pain from the silver. I struggled to keep my eyes open because of my mother's cries, but it was too much for me to endure. My conscience slipped into a dark abyss as my eyes closed forever.

' Is this the feeling of death?' I asked myself. It felt like I had been thrown into a cold, dark pit I could not climb out of as everything grew dark; those were my last moments. When my dreadful life as the Wolfless omega of the silver moon ended.

At least that was what I thought, but why did I suddenly open my eyes in a strange room, and there was a strange boy with a strange accent holding my hands and crying? He was saying strange things like I was heartless for leaving him alone in this world and calling my sister.

I wanted to ask him who he was but instead coughed out a mouthful of blood. The boy's eyes shot out excited when he heard me cough. "Zina you are still alive!!" He shrieked seeing my weakly open eyes. He rushed to hug me. "I knew my sister wouldn't leave me alone in this world. I knew you would not die so easily." He started shedding ears hugging me tightly.
