Chapter 3 Chapter 3

We got home and Pa was waiting for me on the porch with a red hot face. It was past midnight and his favorite daughter was not yet home.

I glanced at him and then quickly evaded his hot stare, The night was pitch black and deadly silent, only the long lonely howls of wolves could be heard from far distances.

"Hey, who goes there?" His voice projected out which sent a cold shiver down my spine, he narrowed his eyes onto us.

"Put me down please, my dad will see us." I blurted out with crimson cheeks. I dreaded the day pa was to see me with another man and this time around I was nearly naked, only Zach's white shirt wrapped me up.

"No, your leg is injured, how will you walk.?" Zach raised a question with serious boldface.

"I will crawl if I have to please put me down."

But he did not listen to my plea until we reached the deemed lamp on the porch. Even though I was mated to him, I was ashamed to be seen with the most respected member of the pack in my birthday suit.

"Alpha Zach, it's just you. I thought it was someone else." My father's tone of his voice instantly became soft and submissive.

"Yes, Beta Wood. I brought back Bella. She finally bloomed into her wolf and injured her leg in the process." Zach spoke in a deep sexy voice.

I glanced at his sexy lips speaking to my father and gawked at their slow intense movements while he unfurled them.

I swallowed hard as I quickly quivered out of my trance.

"Oh, that's so kind of you to bring back my Bella. You can put her down here. Thank you." Pa answered back with a slight grin on his face.

I looked at pa and I could tell he was holding himself back from uttering something nasty because the man who brought me back home was the Alpha of our pack.

Zach gently positioned me on a charcoal-grey metallic swing on the porch.

"Aww" I let out a sexy moan to get him to look at me even just once but he did not peek at me.

I pouted my lips and rolled my eyes at him, let's see how long you will resist your mated wolf. I sneered silently.

"Greetings to your father," Pa bid him farewell to get rid of the man who brought his practically naked daughter home.

"Okay, I will be taking my leave now," Zach replied with a stern poise on his face. He veered around and jumped off the porch while he transformed into a white-furred wolf and ran off into the dusk.

"Oh my girl, so you finally turned into your wolf. I'm so proud of you. How do you feel to be part of the pack now?" Pa inquired with his eyes wide open in anticipation of my response. He sat next to me and awaited my reply.

"Pa, I'm naked and need to get some warm clothes on me." I blurted out loud while I limped my way to my tiny bedroom in the basement of the house.

"But I want to hear about your day.?" Pa yelled out. He insisted we talked about my day every time I returned home.

Maybe it was one way he connected with mom, but then I never bothered to ask him why he insisted I tell him about my day.

"Pa it's late go to sleep," I answered back with a grimace on my face while I toiled to get downstairs.

Moonstone mating ball.

The next morning, a tiny golden bell frantically rang out loud to signal me that I was needed by either my stepmom or Crystal upstairs. I rumbled over my bed and sighed heavily.

Soon I will be leaving this hell hole and moving in with my Alpha…oh how I can't wait to be crowned Luna today and have a lot of pups running around my huge mansion. I exhaled merrily then sat up on my hard surfaced bed while scanning my old-fashioned room. Everything in my room was either about to be thrown out of the house or picked up from the dumpster somewhere else.

My eyes came to a halt after catching a glimpse of my beautiful mother's picture who mysteriously vanished when I was two years old, and since then I have been told that she was murdered in the forbidden forest where the rogue wolves roamed freely.

I sighed with trembling lips while holding back tears from trickling down my pink cheeks.

"Bella!" My stepmom yelled out loud from upstairs. Interrupting my solemn moment as my body shuddered at her high-pitched voice.

"I'm coming Beta Diane.!" I quickly got up from the bed, dressed in baggy green sweatpants and a purple vest. I limped my way upstairs barefoot to meet my stepmom who insisted I address her by her rank and name in the pack because she despised me and my mother for reasons best known to herself.

The short version of the story I heard was that my Omega mother was mated to my Beta pa and from nowhere, Diana came into the picture and seduced my pa and she got married to him instead of my mother. Diana had Crystal but the mate bond between my Pa and mom was too strong to resist hence my Pa went over to his mated wolf and mated. Lol, I know that sounds funny but that's how I came into this world.

Sadly I took after my mother's blood as I was deemed an Omega from birth.

Two years later my mother mysteriously vanished from the face of the earth and I remember Pa going to search for her in the woods until I turned five then he slowly lost hope and gave up on his search.

Since then, Pa has warned me and Crystal to stay out of the hunted forest.

"You called, Beta Diane." My knees trembled with fear because she used to hurl insults and beat me mercilessly if I delayed responding to her call.

She glanced at me and smirked while rolling her eyes at me. Diane stood in the hallway next to the main entrance with her car keys clasped in her hand. The upstairs of the house was well decorated with modern furniture, but only my room sucked.

"What is this I heard about Alpha Zach bringing you home in the middle of the night naked, what were you doing with him?" She asked with unblinking focused eye contact with me.
