"Noo! Please, let me go!" I cry.
My body was trembling as I struggled to break free from the unyielding grips of the warriors, but my strength was like a feather compared to theirs.
They are big and eat almost three times a day, while I, on the other hand, haven't eaten for days, and I'm so skinny I sometimes feel like I'm walking on air.
My baby. How did you survive this? For the past month I can count the number of meals I've eaten. You must be starving.
I'm sorry.
So sorry, my child.
My tears fall at this moment.
I turn to look back at the man who put me in this situation, hoping for something… anything… But his eyes were empty as they fixed on me.
He was watching as his men dragged me away, like I was trash. That's when I saw it. Whatever happened between us must be his ultimate revenge.
A final blow to break me to pieces.
Because as he looks at me, I can see it clearly in his eyes. The disgust and hatred.
Directed at me.
He hates me. With passion.
But what about his own child? His flesh and blood? Will he kill him because he's growing inside of me?
"Alpha, please spare me and my child; I'll do anything. Please just don't kill him…!" I keep crying, but he doesn't say a thing.
"Trevor, do you hate me so much that you'll kill your own blood?" I ask again before I'm pushed into a ward.
I'm immediately pinned onto a bed, and before I realize what's happening, my wrist begins to burn. I look, and silver handcuffs are around my wrists.
'What? I thought silver no longer affects me, but why am I in pain? My wolf is back?'
I ponder, feeling my legs also getting restrained. And this time the pain that shot through me was so unbearable, as if I were being cut deep into my bones.
"Please… please take them off; it hurts so much." I plead, my tears a storm of downpour.
"Hurt?" One of the warriors sneers, like my plea was the most outrageous statement he'd ever heard in his life. He spits onto my face and adds, "Someone like you deserves to be burnt alive."

Doctor Finn walks in after the warriors have left. I watch as he slips on a pair of gloves, reaches for the scalpel, and then pours a liquid on it.
My eyes widened. That's… wolfsbane? Oh my goddess.
"Please. Please let me go; I promise I will leave. Go far away. No one will know you didn't do this, please!" I implore, my voice hoarse from all the crying and screaming.
But he laughs menacingly, then his cold face changes to a deadly one as he mutters,
"My mate was pregnant with our first pup, but the rogues you let into the pack tore them to pieces. Do you know how long I've waited for the day you'll fall into my grasp? Now…" He pauses and continues with a murderous glint in his dark eyes.
"I'm going to make you feel every bit of what my mate endured." With that, with my clothes still intact, he begins to cut me open.
The wolfsbane and silver caused an incredibly intense pain.
"Ahhh!! Please… make it stop…!" I shriek, my body trembling and convulsing fervently with the bed as my pupils start to dilate until I lose consciousness.
"Caroline, I'm with you; just know I never left…" I hear my wolf's familiar voice, weak, before everything disappears into nothingness.
~~~
"Open your eyes. My dear Caroline." The sweetest voice I've ever heard commands, and as if compelled, I obey, opening my eyes at once.
But I'm startled to see myself lying on the hospital bed. I felt as if I was up in the air, looking down into the hospital room.
I looked at my poor self, lying on the bed; blood was staining my ragged, torn clothes, and my stomach was cut open.
It was a ghastly sight.
Dr. Finn was nowhere in sight. Then I see the door open, he walks in, and after checking my pulse, he smiles and says coldly to me lying on the bed.
"I hope you burn in hell." He walks out, and I hear him reporting.
"Alpha. She is dead."
"That's great." I hear Alpha Trevor's voice reply.
My tears fell instantly as I was consumed by an intense anguish and heartache.
So even in death, he never felt anything for me, not even his pity. He hated me that much.
"Trevor, if there's a second chance, even for a day, I wish to never cross paths with you again."
After those words left my mouth, there was a blinding bright light before everything around me turned pitch black.
~~~
"Hey, slave?" I hear the familiar voice of one of the omegas say. Was she inside the hospital ward? Why does her voice sound so loud and close?
I thought Dr. Finn just declared me dead? Could it be he lied to the alpha?
"And my baby." I whisper, tears pricking my eyes. 'Mummy is sorry she couldn't protect you. Mummy is weak and useless. Please forgive me.'
I cry inwardly as I move my hand to feel my stomach, wondering how I managed to heal so fast that I couldn't feel any pain from the intense pain I endured a few minutes ago and the huge cut in my stomach.
But then, my hand hit the cold bottom of a bucket filled with water?
"The nerve of this slave—didn't you hear what I said?!" The same omega's voice from earlier asks, her voice this time filled with impatience.
I look up, and she stands towering in front of me with an angry expression, her hands folded over her chest.
"What? How did I get here? Aren't I supposed to be in the hospital?" I mutter, confused as I look around.
I'm in the ceremonial hall, scrubbing up the stairs?
"Did I hear you say hospital?" She laughs, "If you know what's good for you, you won't think of going to the hospital. Dr. Finn is the one on duty. After he lost his mate and pup because of you, I don't know what he'll do to you if you go there."
She explains with a disdainful sneer, but I couldn't help but ask her,
"What day is today?"
"You dumb slave! I don't have time for your question. I told you Alpha summons you to his chamber."
The moment she said those words, it all came flooding back to me.
It isn't possible, right?
I'm back to the night Alpha Trevor summoned me and made love to me.
My eyes widened in disbelief. Unbelievable emotions coursing through me. I've been given a second chance. Thank you very much, moon goddess. I was beaming internally. I pinch myself and hiss in pain.
'It hurts! I'm alive!'
"This stupid slave." I hear Ruth, the Omega, curse. "Do you think you can afford to make the alpha wait? Let's see how you're going to avoid punishment from the alpha by putting on this show."
Before I could understand her words, she roughly hauled me up and pushed me forward until I nearly stumbled downstairs.
But I keep my feet plastered to the ground as I hold tightly onto the rails. I don't want to see that man, because I know too well what he wanted to do to me.
He was going to make love to me and then discard me like trash after he's had his release.
"I'm not going," I declare, shocked by the defiance in my voice.
"Do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way? I'm ready to accommodate you," she threatens with an evil smirk on her face.
My feet begin to move involuntarily when she gives one of the warriors downstairs a look.
'Oh fuck me, goddess! Why did I have to be reborn on today of all days?' I inwardly thought as I braced myself for what would happen nex
