Mated to the Alpha king

11:30pm.

Ivy walked slowly into a storage room. She was clearly very tired as she dragged her legs to the room. she let out a breath of relief. She was finally getting some rest after preparing a meal for everyone in the pack house. After she had made the dinner, some of the pack members began to make a different demand on what to eat. She had no choice but to prepare four more different meals from scratch.

There was not much she could do. If the dare refused to do as she was asked, she was going to face the anger of Alpha Trevor. She wouldn't want that. Because it was almost twenty four hours and she has not been punished for something. She wanted to maintain that for the rest of the night.

The storage room is where Ivy and her daughter sleep. They had a thin mattress that they lay on. When she walked in, she saw Lilly laying on it. The little girl seemed to be fast asleep. A smile spread on Ivy's face. Her daughter is the only source of happiness she has left. That was since the time her father gambled her off to Alpha Trevor, the Alpha of their pack.

Ivy was about to lay next to her daughter when Lilly turned to face her mother.

"Mommy, I am hungry." Lilly said in a sleepy voice.

Ivy smoothed her daughter's hair and smiled at her. With all the hard work she was doing in the pack house, it was hard for her to get what she and her daughter would eat.

Earlier that night, she was able to pick up some leftover bread for the both of them. But before she could hide it and bring it up to the storage room for Lilly, Beta's mate caught her and took it from her. She soaked them in water and threw them away.

"I am sorry, Lilly. I tried to get us something to eat but I couldn't. I will try again tomorrow. I will do that early so that you can eat immediately when you wake up." Ivy explained to her daughter.

With a small smile, Lily nodded. "I understand, mommy. I am not that hungry. I will sleep now." She assured her mother before moving closer and laying on her lap.

Ivy smiled back at Lilly. But deep down, she was hurt. Her five year old daughter is leaving a life like this.

Lilly was also an early shifter. When she was four, she began to transform into the cutest cub. That made the members of the pack call her names. They say she is cursed just like her mother was.

When Lilly's breathing became steady, her mother knew she was fast asleep. She gently laid her on the thin mattress and then laid next to her. Soon, darkness took over.

**Thirty minutes later**

Ivy was awakened because of an unbearable pain she felt.

"Ughhh...." She groans in a low voice in an attempt not to wake her sleeping daughter up.

'He is at it again. That cruel bastard.* Ivy's wolf, Rieka said in her head. She also howled and whimpered in pain.

'Why is he doing this to us? It is about time he set us free. I can't take this anymore. Just accept his rejection already.' Rieka added.

'I can't do that and you know it. He is going to kill us if I do.' Ivy reasoned, looking at her daughter's sleeping figure. 'If I die, I don't know what is going to happen to our cub. We have to keep going for her sake. We have to fight through this.' She added.

Rieka whimpered again. 'Fine.... but at least get him to stop. It hurts so much.' She reasoned again.

Almost every night, they had to go through a lot of pain. It happens anytime Ivy's mate is having sex with another person. Because he rejected her but told her not to reject him. He threatened to kill her if she did. That is why she had to go through that pain all the time.

Ivy also couldn't take it any longer. She got up and walked out of the storage room. She went straight to a room. Her heart was beating so fast in her chest. A part of her was yelling at her and telling her to go back to her own room. But she didn't, especially hearing how her wolf was in pain. She was in the same situation as well.

Ivy could hear groaning and moaning coming from behind the door she was standing at. She finally knocked on the door.

But no answer came through. She knocked again, a bit louder this time around but still no answer. She was about to knock for the third time when the door was open with force.

Ivy's empty blue eyes met with his dark and angry brown ones.

"What the hell do you think you are doing? You better have a really good reason for knocking on my door at this time of the night." Trevor said in a scary voice. He stood at the door butt naked.

'Ivy, NO! RUN. RUN for our life. What were you thinking?' Rieka said in Ivy's head.

'I wasn't thinking, Rieka. But the deed has been done. It's too late to look back now.' Ivy answered her wolf quietly.

"Wh- why are you doing this to me, Trevor? At least let me accept your rejection. It hurts so much. I can't bear the pain anymore." Ivy managed to say. Addressing him by his first name and without his title.

The angry man quickly grabbed Ivy by the neck. His extended claws sank into her skin and he pinned her to the nearest wall.

"You filthy mut. How dare you come knocking on my door? You dare to address me by my name and also question me?" Trevor spat in anger.

With his free hand, he gave her a slap on her face. He then threw her to the side. She hit her head on a table before falling to the ground.

It made both Ivy and Reika howl in pain. Ivy couldn't see clearly anymore. She tried getting up but immediately fell back to the ground.

"Looks like I don't punish you enough. That is why you have the gods to come and knock on my door. But I will make sure to make you regret that decision." Trevor said. He closed the door behind him and began taking heavy steps towards her.

"Looks like you can use that your fucking mouth to talk to your Alpha as you please. I will show you how to use it properly." He said. When he got to her, he picked her up with a single hand and threw her on the bed.

Ivy hit her head on the board. She hissed and whimpered in pain.

"You! Get out." Trevor said to the woman that was with him in the room.

The woman nodded and bowed to him before picking up her clothes. She quickly left the room and closed the door behind her.

After the woman left, he turned to Ivy, who was still trying to regain her balance.

"Why would I let you accept my rejection? After all, you put yourself in the position you are in right now." He reminded her.

Ivy turned to look at him. From her blurry vision, she could see a smirk evident on his face. The same look he always has when he wants to take advantage of her. She shivers with disgust but there was not much she could do. He was her Alpha and also her mate.
