Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Valencias POV FM Jaxon was on me in seconds , his hand gripping my arm so tightly it hurt . Before I could even think to resist , he yanked me forward and flung me onto the bed . Where the hell have you been , Valencia ? he growled , his voice low but trembling with fury . My chest heaved as I tried to form a coherent response , but his sharp eyes zeroed in on the marks on my neck . His nostrils flared , and for a moment , his expression twisted into something animalistic . What is this ? His fingers brushed against my skin before his hand jerked back as though burned . Hickeys ? In a burst of strength and fright I pushed him back enough to be able to get up . I opened my mouth to speak , but before I could , his open palm connected with my face , the sound of the slap echoing in the small room . The force sent me tumbling to the floor , and I lay there , dazed , my cheek stinging and the taste of iron blooming in my mouth . For a moment , the memory of his belt snapped through my mind like a cruel phantom . That second miscarriage , his accusations of infidelity that I hadnt committed , the cold leather cutting into my skin as I begged for him to stop- Get up ! Jaxons voice cut through my haze . I didnt want to get up . I felt terrified . But , no . I wouldnt stay down this time . I grit my teeth and pushed myself to my feet , shoving the memories aside . My legs shook as I stood , my fury growing stronger with every heartbeat . He would not break me . Not agai Jaxon stalked forward , his rage unabated . Youre a disgrace ! Do you know what youve done ? He shoved me against the wall , his arm pressing into my chest , pinning me there . You think you can go out and act like this ? Youre mine , Valencia . MINE ! Youll marry me , and no one else ! Tears streaked my face as his words tore through me , and my heart broke all over again . No matter how many times I tried not to feel anything . How had I once loved this man ? How had believed in him ? Was the soft spoken and tender person I had fallen for even real ? You filthy little Omega , he spat . Weak , useless , and good for nothing but spreading your legs . And yet I , an Alpha , gave you a chance . Do you understand what a wretched bastard like you owes me for that privilege ? You really are the daughter of a whore- Something inside me snapped . I raised my hand and slapped him as hard as I could . The room froze . Jaxons head jerked to the side , his cheek red with the mark of my hand . My heart thundered in my chest as I stared at him , horrified and exhilarated all at once . I had done it . I had hit the future Alpha of the pack . His blue eyes , now dark with fury , swung back to meet mine . You- Tue , Chapter 10 But I didnt let him finish . I took a shaky breath and straightened my spine , meeting his glare with as much defiance as I could muster . I will not marry a man who doesnt respect Omegas , I said , my voice trembling but determined . You think you can dictate my life ? You think you have the right to choose for me , just becase youre an Alpha ? My hands clenched into fists . Dreams , His laugh was low and menacing , the sound sending chills down my spine . How dare you ?! he hissed , his voice dripping with venom . Elis and clamped around my arm like a vice , and he began dragging me out of the room . Lets see if youre so brave in fro of the Alphas Jaxon , stop ! I struggled against him , but his grip was unrelent . My feet scraped against the floor as I tried to resist , but he was too strong . The halls were dimly lit , and my panic rose wh every step as he hauled me towards the stairs .. It was already morning . I could hear the faint murmur of voicess we ascended , and my heart sank further . Let me go ! I yelled , my voice breaking . He ignored me , dragging me up to the top floor , where the council room awaited . By the time we reached it , I was gasping for air , my feet aching and my mind racing with fear . The council room was imposing , with its high ceilings and long wooden table that stretched nearly the length of the room . A few Beta assistants were already there , going over paperwork . Their heads snapped up as Jaxon barged in , dragging me behind him . Get the Alphas ! he barked , his voice a command that sent them scurrying Moments later , the door burst open , and big , imposing men stormed in . There was Roman Wolfe , the current Pack Alpha , his presence commanding even in his frail state . Beside him stood my father , Drogo Kallistar , his expression already dark with suspicion . Sirius Armani followed , his sharp gaze cutting through the room , and Jaxons younger brother Jason brought up the rear , his brow furrowed in confusion . The weight of their combined Alpha presence was suffocating . My skin prickled , and I struggled to breathe , feeling as though I were being crushed under the sheer force of their presence . What is the meaning of this ? my father demanded , his voice cold and hard . Jaxon , to my disgust , had already composed himself , his fury replaced with a calculated calm . I hated that face the face he wore when he was about to manipulate everyone in the room . Ask Valencia where she was last night , he said , his tone measured , almost sympathetic . All eyes turned to me . 1 hesitated , my heart pounding Where ? My father asked slowly at first . I hesitated , my voice stick under the lump in my throat . Where the fuck were you ?! He then bellowed , slamming his hands on the table . 1 flinched but forced myself to answer . At a bar . The room went deathly silent . My fathers face drained of color , his shock so complete it would have been comical if the situation werent so dire Chapter 10 Even though it was already the twenty first century , the Wolfe pack and many other wolves were known for their traditionality and abhorred the dating custom Which was why Jaxon and I hadnt dated , and instead got formally engaged in my past life . Additionally it was out of the question for an immated Oniega to go outside without a guard leta or Alpha . In the next couple years after Jaxon takes over , the pack customs and rules would become laxer for the younger generation . right now though , with the current pack Alpha still alive and kicking . Omegas who lost their virginity and were unmated were said to be disgraced . You … You His voice trembled with disbelief and fury . You disgraced yourself ? 1 bit my lip , my heart hammering against my ribs . There was no point in lying . No point in denying it . I clenched my fists and nodded firmly . In fact , an idea hit me . If I played my cards right , I could turn this situation in my favor and get rid of Jaxon . The word hung in the air , heavy and damning . My father clutched his chest and sank into a chair , his breath coming in labored gasps . I almost rolled my eyes at the dramatic display , but the sight of his pale face and trembling hands brought me no satisfaction . Alpha Siriuss glare cut through me , his voice cold and biting . Shameful bitch . Tears burned in my eyes , but I refused to let them fall . Just as I thought I had weathered the worst , Jaxons voice rang out , calm and deliberate . Im willing to take responsibility for her My heart plummeted , a cold dread spreading through my chest as his words echoed in my ears .
