CAGED TO THE MOON KING
CHAPTER ONE
Heaven's Pov
I ran as fast as my legs could carry through the woods, flapping through sharp thorns and piercing my delicate skin in the process.
I cared less about the pain on my skin and my sore leg as long as I fled from this disastrous pack.
A large hand covered my mouth while the other wrapped my waist and we both tumbled on the floor making me scream in fear and defeat.
"Calista!" I gasped in shock halting on my track and searched around to be sure no one was around the woods.
"What are you doing here!"
"Have you gone nuts Heaven? Why will you flee from your supposed mate? He's the fucking moon King, you idiot." She yelled at me with tears sheening her eyes.
"He's not!! I refuse to believe that, Alpha Ley is my mate."
"Stop spewing rubbish and come back home, Dad is going crazy over there and your mate seems impatient."
"Stop it Calista! You know Dad is selling me off, don't you? You know he's doing that because he thinks I'm useless and he feels that he could find a little worth by selling me to a blizzard blind Moon king!! It's over my dead body." I screamed in pain and cursed.
Calista had the fastest wolf, so it's no surprise she was able to find me in a twinkle.
She was the only sister who didn't see me as useless and forbidden as everyone claimed.
My life had been a living hell since birth and I hated why I was being called heaven when I had seen nothing short of that but hell.
The Athens pack, my pack, was the most powerful one to ever exist and they were tagged as a legend but I became quite famous when I was born without a wolf or any powers to replace the wolf.
I was born as a human!!
How can nature be cruel to me?
My dad despised me and rumors had it that I had killed my mum during birth, I was castrated and always desolate. I was tagged useless but was useful in chores and tough jobs meant for the guys.
I saw shifters who flaunt their wolf and run into the new moon.
I couldn't count how many times my brothers had lashed out at me for joining any event or eating from their plates.
Was it being clumsy and getting starved for days?
For years, Life had been cruel even though Calista had shown me love and encouragement. She lets me follow her on their patrol missions and when she wants to shift. It was always a thrilling sight for me but I didn't possess any of that.
I turned eighteen today and my father couldn't even wait for a second to tick before agreeing to sell me off to a blind Prince.
"He might treat you right, you can never tell, A Prince will always be a king."
"Let me be Calista, I'm not going back…tell Alpha Ley to meet me in the white Crystal Pack."
"Alpha Ley is not your mate!" Calista growled and I saw her eyes flicker with anger.
Alpha Ley was the leader of the Athens Pack, he was the youngest to take over since his father died of an inflicted disease from an unknown source.
He was like a forbidden fruit I would never bite but when he announced me as his mate, I was dazed.
No, the whole of Athens Pack was in a haywire as their Alpha chose a useless Luna.
I wasn't even up to the right age to be announced as a mate.
But he cared less and always sent for me, giving me a sinful stare that made me think naughty, always telling me how unripe I am.
I liked him a lot and couldn't wait for him to come over but it seems my dad had other plans.
"Alpha Ley is my…"
"Stop daydreaming Heaven and let's head back home. You know Dad when he gets angry, he might whip you by the fire this time around before releasing you to your husband."
"Calista, please let me be. I don't want to be bound by a blind prince I know nothing of, I don't want to go back to that house. Period!!"
I said I took to my heels but Calista stood before me in a flash.
"I will take you home even if I have to gather the whole pack of Athens right now by calling their wolves out. Before you even step an inch they will eat you raw." My eyes widened at her statement and tears blinded my vision while she continued.
"I will never let you take Alpha Ley from me, Heaven, he's mine "
She said and I gave a painful laugh, so all this was about Alpha Ley.
"Fine, take him." I moved to run but I saw a hundred pairs of red eyes staring at me.
Their eyes were so bright that fear pricked my skin.
"Fuck you Calista!!" I cursed when I discovered she didn't come alone.
"Move Heaven." She commanded and I wished to have any superpower that would make me fly from these demons or even for a wolf so that I could run endlessly without getting tired.
I couldn't outrun those Wolves except I was asking for a death wish, I wailed in pain as Calista dragged me to my curse. My pack and my father's home.
