“What is that on your neck,” Mother asked sharply, yanking my head forward to examine it, and my heart pounded in my

chest.

I took a look at it earlier, and one could mistake the mark for a bruise at first glance. I hoped my mother wouldn’t think too much of it, but who was kidding? She released my neck, and I was about to release a breath when she yanked me closer, making me wince in pain.

Her hands traced the mark, and judging from the position it was sitting on, I could bet she knew exactly what it was. Her head snapped up to me in an instant, her eyes burning with rage, and I knew I was doomed.

She stumbled back, still in disbelief, and I took the opportunity to cover my neck again. Her mouth parted, but for the first time, my mother seemed to be short of words. I stood rooted to the same spot, waiting for her to unleash her wrath, when she suddenly grabbed my hair, taking me by surprise.

A scream tore through my throat from the force, and I could fee, the anger vibrating through her body.

“You fucking slut! Who did you sleep with?” She demanded. Her grip tightened in my hair, and my scalp burned from how hard she was pulling my hair.

My body shook violently, and I didn’t know if it was too early to be relieved that she hadn’t figured out whose mark I was carrying on my neck.

“Why couldn’t you keep your legs closed?” she writhed, still clinging onto my hair. “All I asked was for you to behave yourself. Is that too much to do? Why are you so determined to ruin everything I worked so hard for?”

I tried to release her grip on my hair, but it only tightened with each passing second.

“Did I make a mistake by bringing you here? Huh?!”

She shook me violently, forcing air down my throat from the pressure she was putting into it, and my breath quickened.

She was going to kill me just like she killed my father.

Her body froze for a moment as if something just dawned on her, and my body stiffened. She shook her head frantically, looking me dead in the eyes for answers before she even asked the question.

“Tell me it wasn’t Kael that marked you,” she demanded. Her gri tightened in my hair, and tears pricked my vision from how badly they hurt.

“Tell me it wasn’t him!” She yelled, digging her nails into my ski My heart drummed against my ear rapidly and I could barely think of what reply to give her, when she pulled me close sniffing my body.

She scoffed in disbelief the moment she sensed Kael’s scent one, and before I knew what was happening, my cheeks burned and I didn’t need to see the mirror to know her hand imprint was now on my cheeks.

I gasped from the slap, but she didn’t even give me a chance to cover before she began to hit me over and over again.

“You fucking slut! Of all people, why does it have to be him? Couldn’t you have chosen a guard or something if you were that desperate?!”

The thought of my mother being comfortable with me hooking up with a guard stung like a bee. She’d rather have me sleep with nobody than ruin her reputation?

I knew she was selfish, but she just managed to amuse me every amn time.

She yanked me away, pacing around the room anxiously, “You’ve ruined everything. Every fucking thing” she cursed under her breath, as I just stood rooted to the same spot.

“Everything I worked so fucking hard fuck will go down the dra because of you,” she ran her hair through her hair, and even in times like this, the only thing she cared about was what people will say or think of her.

“I’ve been trying so hard to get Sabrina’s parents to like me. Do you think they’d be thrilled to hear that a nobody got marked by their daughter’s mate? Do you seriously think they’d stand back and watch it happen?!”

She was screaming at me again. I should be used to hearing her call me a nobody, but every single time that word leaves her mouth, it felt like a blade was twisted inside me. She was supposed to be

my

mother.

“Do you ever think before you act? What do you think Alpha Zane would do once he finds out the truth?” She shook her head, dismissing the thought immediately.

“No, you must leave now. Alpha Zane can never find out about this.”

I knew things would eventually come to this, but seeing my mother rummaging through my closet, and already shoving my clothes into a small bag made me scoff in disbelief. She thrust the small bag into my arms, and I couldn’t help but get

anxious.

“You need to leave now,” she demanded.

“I… I don’t have anywhere to go,” I stuttered, already thinking of the worst part. If she threw me out now, I’d have to sleep on the street because I have no one to turn to. What if something happens to me?

What if some random old men forced themselves on me? Or worse, what if rogues took me as a hostage?

Mother tried shoving me out of the room, but I knew if I left right now, there was no way I’d survive out there.

I gripped onto the wall, stopping her from pushing me and she looked taken aback. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” She frowned.

“You have no right to throw me out. This isn’t even your house to begin with, so if you think I don’t belong here, maybe we both shouldn’t be here.”

I was done listening to a woman that had never been a mother to me. All she ever did was drag me into her mess and expect me to clean up every damn time just so she could save face, but all of that ends now.

I’m going to do everything to survive even if it means going against her.

Mother placed her hands on her chest, gasping in disbelief. “You have gone mad!”

“Yes, I have!” I snapped back, taking her by surprise. Before she could do anything more stupid, I pushed her out of my

room.

“You just wait and see. I’ll be mated to Kael and eventually become his Luna,” I spat out, feeling a wave of rage coursing through my veins.

My mother’s eyes twitched into disgust as I continued.

“I’ll destroy everything you’ve selfishly worked hard to build. You just wait and see” I slammed the door shut on her face. and for the first time, I felt oddly relieved.
