Chapter 1
MALIYA
“You never do anything right, can you?” Kane, my mate snapped at me as he pushed me off him, adjusting himself on the bed.
“I’m… I’m sorry…” I apologized, staring at him with worries.
“You almost bit my dick! Can you even do it right? Will you ever do it right?” He glared at me.
“But… I’m trying.” I stuttered.
“How are you trying? We’ve been together for a while but you can’t even take dick. How are you going to please me in bed? He chided.
“I…”
my whole
He cuts me off. “I don’t want to hear anything I’m tired of you saying you are trying but don’t even try.” He got off the bed and I followed him, wanting to pacify him.
“Why don’t you guide me then? Maybe if you teach me and guide me, I’d be able to please you better,” I suggested, hoping that he doesn’t take offense.
He scoffed. “You can’t even put my dick into your mouth fully without biting it and you want me to guide you? You are going to cut off my dick then!”
I watched as he adjusted his pants trousers, and put on his shirt.
“Where are you going?” I quivered.
“Are you seriously asking me?” He glared at me.
“But you said you’d sleep over tonight,” my voice came out lower than I anticipated.
It has always been like that whenever I tried to explain myself to him. He doesn’t make it easy for me to be able to speak without fear of what he might say or do to me.
I couldn’t lose him. He’s my ray of sunshine and the reason I believe my life isn’t totally bad.
My name is Maliya Vincent and I am the illegitimate daughter of my father or rather the outcome of his mismanagement.
My mother died giving birth to me and my father took me in not because he wanted to but because he had no choice.
Everyone tagged me as the girl who brings misfortune to whoever she meets and wherever she goes. I have never been treated right in the pack. My stepmother doesn’t fail to beat me every day and gives me impossible tasks and my step sister never fails to remind me of status.
My life changed when I found my mate who turned out to be Prince Kane. Kane is the Alpha second son from his second wife. In my twenty years of living, I would never expect my mate to be someone of royal status considering my birth and the belief I have of myself.
Prince Kane didn’t reject me to my surprise and it made me happy. He was the first person to ever treat me right. We have been together for four months but it felt like years already as everything between us took a fast pace.
We connected well and easily and the past three months have been my best until last month when he started to act differently and cold towards me.
Nothing I do seems to please him. He complains about everything I do. He never had an issue with me each time I took his dick into my mouth but lately he complains about it and I end up apologizing because I cannot lose him.
“You want me to teach you how to please your man? Have you gone mad?” He snickered.
He took an intimidating step towards me, every step he took only made my heart race faster than normal.
“I thought tonight might be different but as usual, you are just a boring and inexperienced mate. I wonder why the moon goddess decided that it was best for someone of my status to be with someone like you.”
Ouch! His words hit me hard. I felt burns in my chest. He looked me in the eyes he said those words as if wanting to let me know how unhappy he was with me.
“I’m sorry Kane. Please don’t leave. I promise to do better,” I pleaded, ignoring my feelings and wanting to appease him.
He was my first priority and every hurtful word he said to me didn’t matter even if it hurts.
“You have said it like one hundred times yet you cannot take my dick in your mouth properly!” He sounded brash and I was startled by the sound of his tone.
“Just one more time: I will do better, I pleaded, taking bold steps towards him.
I held his arms, pleading with my eyes that he doesn’t leave but he pushed me away from him to the point I almost lost my balance and fell.
“Just stop this okay? I do not have time for this. I have to be somewhere. Your presence disgusts me. I don’t want to see you right now he remarked harshly.
“I’m sorry. Please don’t leave,” I cried, pleading with him to stay.
He kept walking and I followed him as he walked towards the door.
“Don’t touch me!” He warned through his teeth and I did just as he requested but didn’t touch him. I pleaded until he walked out the door without looking back, ignoring my tears and pleading.
For days I didn’t hear from Kane nor did I see Kane. I tried reaching out to him but couldn’t and so I decided to go over to him. I cannot lose him. It would kill me if I lost him.
I went to Greenwood castle, that’s where the Alpha and his family reside. It was afternoon when I went over to see Kane. I made my way towards Kane’s room determined to get his forgiveness no matter what it takes as I would rather die than to lose him.
Once I reached his room, I lifted my arms to knock but halted when I heard sounds.
I placed my ears on the door to listen and observe because I didn’t want to make any mistakes and make him angry again.
“When will you get rid of her? You don’t want her. My father is willing to help you.” I heard a familiar voice say.
“I’m so irritated by her presence. It is my mom who wants me to be with her. I would have left her but I can’t because of what I want.” I heard Kane’s voice.
“Alpha Xander is in town and he…”
“It’s wrong to eavesdrop on people’s conversation,” I scolded myself, refusing to listen to his conversation. Whatever and whoever he was speaking to was private and I shouldn’t be listening to it.
As much as I’d love for him to speak to me about his troubles, I wouldn’t force him to do that and I will wait for him to comfortably tell me when he’s ready.
I waited for a little while hoping his guest would come out soon but she didn’t so I decided to knock.
I opened the door gently without waiting for him to ask me to come in. In front of me. was Kane and my step–sister. They were standing so close to each other that one would have misunderstood the situation but I trust Kane.
I didn’t fail to notice the frown that formed on Kane’s and my step sister’s faces when I stepped in. What was she doing here and when did they get close.
I didn’t want to read any meaning to why my step–sister was with my mate because it would mean I was doubting my mate and I didn’t want to make him any more angry.
“What are you doing here? Who asked you to come here?” Kane reprimanded before I spoke.
“I didn’t hear from you for days, so I…”
“I don’t want to hear it.” He cuts me off sternly.
He was still angry. I didn’t like to see him angry and it hurt each time he was.
“You can leave Raya, we will speak another time,” Kane said to her.
“Alright.” She said before walking past me, her shoulder bumping against mine.
As soon as Raya was out of sight I went towards Kane immediately.
“I’m sorry Kane. I promise I won’t disappoint you again. Please give me a chance. I promise I will get it right,” I pleaded.
He doesn’t say anything. He ignored my presence and it felt like I was wasting my time. I kept pleading until he finally said a word to me.
“If you want to appease me then you’d have to do a little more than that,” he said to me after a while and my eyes lightened up.
I did have some worries in my heart as to why he suddenly changed his mind butT quickly let go of that feeling as I didn’t want to ruin the mood and make him angry again.
“What is it that you want? I will do whatever it takes to please you,” I said to him, almost immediately.
“Are you sure?” He asked and I nodded my head in assurance.
“Alright then. Get ready, tonight we are going out,” he said to me.
A smile found its way to my lips. “Really?”
“Yes.” He replied.
“Maybe I should go home and change to something else. What do you think?” I suggested.
“No. Not at all. You don’t have to. You look good just the way you are,” he said to me and I blushed hard.
He rarely compliments me but when he does, I could feel the sincerity from his tone.
“Does this mean you are no longer angry with me?” I asked.
“Of course. I am not. If you will go out with me tonight and promise to do what I ask then I will forgive you,” he assured me with a smile on his face.
Hearing him say that made me happy. The past few days without him having been disturbing and heart aching.
“Alright then. I will go with you and I promise to do what you ask,” I assured him, grinning widely.
Later that day, in the night, I went with Kane to where it was that he was taking me. I had no idea where he could be taking me but I knew it was going to be good and I trusted him to take the lead.
I felt grateful that he had forgiven me and given me a chance and I promise to not make him angry and do well in pleasing him.
“We are here,” Kane said to me. I looked out the window of the carriage to see where we were.
“Where is this place? I have no idea,” I said to him.
“You shall find out soon,” he replied with a smile on his face, one that warms my heart.
I stepped out of the carriage with Kane by my side.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“This place is lovely. Where is this place?” I couldn’t help but ask Kane once again.
“You shall find out soon,” he replied, making me more curious to know.
“Welcome Prince Kane. We didn’t think you’d come.” A man said to Kane.
“I also didn’t think I’d come too,” he replied.
We made our way into the room and there were men seated. They weren’t just men but judging from their presence, I could tell powerful Alphas of the different pack and Betas too.
“There are no females in this room. Is there another room that I should be in?” I asked him.
“No, my darling. You are in the right room.” He replied firmly, making me confused.
As much as I wanted to ask what he meant by that, I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to make him angry.
“Welcome Prince Kane. It’s a surprise to see you here. And you are not here alone, who is she?” A huge–looking man with beards covering his face asked.
“She’s my slave,” Kane replied firmly.
My eyes widened in shock. What is he talking about? His slave?
“I…”
Is Alpha Xander inside?” He asked, cutting me off.
“He is.” The man replied, giving me a creeping look.
“Alright then. We shall go see him.” Kane replied before heading towards the room the man I presumed to be the room Alpha Xander was in.
“What did you mean by that Kane? Why did you tell that man I am your slave?” I asked him.
He didn’t say anything and kept walking, holding my hands firmly. I was worried. It hurts to be introduced to another by your mate as his slave but yet again, I said nothing.
Kane opened the door and we stepped into a room.
“Alpha Xander, I am Prince Kane of the Greenwood pack and it’s an honor to meet vou.” Kane introduced himself.

A man appeared in front of us wearing an eye patch. Judging from his height, he stood over six feet with broad shoulders.
The man removed the cloak around his shoulder revealing his arms that were covered in tattoos and his face to us.
I had never seen him before but judging from what was in front of me, it was evident he was powerful.
“What brings you here and who is this beauty that you have with you?” Alpha Xander asked, staring at me.
I looked away from him. I couldn’t look at his face, something about him scared me, was like his presence oozed danger .
“The girl with me is my slave and I want to sell her to you in exchange for you granting me a favor,” Kane replied.
I gasped in disbelief.
