Chapter 16
Zam
Days have passed since I was beaten like a pup and every time I think of that day, I just wish things would be different.
Mateo has been distant since we shared that kiss and seems to be avoiding me or even talking to mr.
I went to the market earlier to get some food for the pack house because Kate wants me to be running errands for her.
A few days ago, I was told Micah requested my proposed ceremony to be cancelled because he thought it wasn’t the right time for me to be welcomed into the pack.
We got some fresh vegetables and fruit. After that, I made my way to the meat sections and fish areas.
After I got the list, I looked at the tuna, which was packaged into a clear pack from back home. I needed to get a phone. I had to call speak with her.
I missed being home, but then again, everyone betrayed
Sighing n heavily, I made my way out of the marketplace straight to the car.
Mum back and
1 bowed back to all the people who were thanking me for buying from them. Edward blocked his card a few days ago after I went over the limit and now I didn’t have enough money to buy anything I needed.
Mateo mentioned something about an allowance, but I don’t want to push it, since 1 have only been here for a few weeks.
“How much is this one?” I asked the shop attendant as Rita walked around the store.
“That will be $799,” the man said as 1 sighed heavily
The only money I had was the money remaining from the shopping and the $500 which I had from the account.
My accounts from back home were also blocked so there was no way for me to buy this phone
“You know what? It’s fine. Might come back later,” I said, giving the lady a weak smile as I made my way out of the shop. There was no way I would be spending money that did not belong to me.
Making my y way straight to the car. I got into the car and I sighed heavily.
**Didn’t like any of them!” She asked me as I shook my head getting into the passenger’s seat.
“Really? I thought they had nice phones” She sounded surprised as 1 gave her a fake smile looking out the window
Needed to get back to my pack to get everything approved again, I had all the money I needed to survive, but then I’m sure Edward blocked my cards so that I had no means of surviving.
Getting to the pack house, we pulled over in the back of the house as some people came to help us unpack the foodstuff
“Is this everything!” Summer asked, walking into the kitchen as I nodded my head. Giving her the list together with the change.
“Put it on the table,” she says, not wanting to take it directly from me.
I place th
change and the list I was given on the table as I step aside, wanting her to check if I got the right things.
I honestly wonder why I should be doing errands like this when they could easily order things to be delivered, but I guess they just want to have me doing all their work
“What the hell is this?” She asked, covering her nose as I walked over to the box.
“Oh! Sorry, that was mine,” I say, rushing to get the box with all my fish stuff that I bought.
“It’s mine. They took it out by mistake,” I said to her as she turned to me, thing her head
“Are you fucking insane! Why would you bring this here? Don’t you know Micah is allergic to this?” She asked me as I raised my eyebrows.
How was I supposed to know?
“I will take it. It shouldn’t have been taken out” I stepped forward to grab the box from her, but she took it, handing it to one girl.
“Throw this in the bin” She glanced at me as i gasped.

That’s my stuff. Why would you throw it out!” asked as the girl looked at me, waiting for Summer’s

“Because it is like poison to Micah. Throw it away” she ordered again, wanting the girl to take the box from her.
“No!” I grabbed the box from her
“Let go now!” She commanded.
“This is mine. I said I would take it. Why would you throw it out!” I said, pulling the box from her again as I tightened the grip.
“No! I don’t want it in this pack!” She barked
“I said…” She was about to pull as the box ripped apart, as the fish ripped out of the plastic falling to the ground and in the end splashing all over her baby blue pants and stiletton
gasped, staring at her shoes.
“Summer I’m 1o.“I was about to say, but before I could Enish my sentence,
Ahot slap landed on my face, a burning sensation on my check as I looked up at her.
“Summer,” I said, almost in a whisper, but before I could finish, she slapped me again,
Please don’t tell me you will take it from this bitch. Paris retorted.
I raised my eyes, looking at her as she lifted her hand to slap me again. Okay, that’s it. Paris said
Without realising. I lifted my hand, grabbing her hand as she widened her eyes.
sorry. What more do you want?” I asked her as she tried to slap me again with her left hand, but I grabbed it as well.
“I said was sorry.
Dropping her hands, I tilted my head flickering my eyes and as I fought to gain control over Paris.
“Enough of you treating us like shit” Paris barked, slapping Summer back as she gasped, a look of disbelief on her face.
“How dare your” She tried to hit me again, but before her hand could land on my face again, I slapped her hard again, sending her into shock
“Am your Luna. How dare you lay your filthy hands on me?” She asked, coming doser to me as I tilted my head, chuckling sofily.
She came at me again, trying to slap me, but before she could hit me,
– “That’s enough!” A voice came which I recognised very well.
What the hell! Paris said as I swallowed hard, Paris giving me back control as I let out a sigh of relief
This wasn’t good.
I knew I was in deep shit looking at the person before me.
Zara’s point of view
“Micah?” Summer seemed shocked as she looked up at Micah, holding her hand.
I swallowed hard looking at Micah, and I knew I was screwed.
est for me.
He wouldn’t pass up on the opportunity to humiliate me in front of people. I knew exactly what was next
“Not here” he reluctantly shook his head as she opened her mouth to speak but kept quiet.
“Micah,” she said, almost in a whisper as he let go of her hand
“You follow me!” He ordered to no one in particular as I looked at Rita, who looked like she had just seen a ghost.
I could tell whatever was next wasn’t good for me.
I followed Micah behind as he led the way out of the room I walked past Summer who was standing by the kitchen counter, her gaze following me
behind.
HE kept on walking so fast that I kept on running
g just to catch up
bun with
th him, but he kept on walking f
He paused in his tracks as soon as we were in his office. I bumped my head into his back. “Ouch!” I cried, holding my forehead as he spanned around to face me.
1 take a step back, looking into his eyes as he tilts his head. Pursed my lips together as my heart raced.
*Don’t you have laws and rules where you come from!” He asked, his voice sounding angry as I exhaled heavily.
“No! How dare you lay hands on aLuna?” He fumed, as he clenched his jaws.
“I didn’t do anything that she did to me. She slapped me first after wasting-
“It’s fucking fish” How dare you slap her over fish?” He asked me as I swallowed hard, clenching
tight to my cardigan as I looked into his eyes.
“Do you know the punishment for endangering Luna’s life?” He asked me
How dare he defend that woman Skye famed as I closed my eyes trying to calm myself down. Paris was fuming, and I couldn’t let her come out right now.
She would do something that we could all regret.
“Being a Luna doesn’t mean she should treat people that she leads like they are nothing,” I retorted, my gaze still on him as he chuckled sofily walking towards me.
I take a step back from him as he pins me between the wall and him
“That’s why your sister ended up being Luna, not you. You are so weak!” He said to me, tilting his head.
My eyes widened, my heart throbbing as fast as I clenched my kas looking into his eyes.
“How did you know How I stuttered as he chuckled softly coming closer to me, his breath as close to my nose as he leaned over
I know everything about you. How the hell do you have three mates?” He said to me as I sighed heavily,
“You know nothing about me”
“Of course I do. It’s either that alpha wasn’t your mate or you have done something to make us believe you are our mates.” He whispered through gritted teeth
“I don’t know what happened. And why would I want to be a mate to such a monster like your” I asked him, as he let out a low growl.
“You disgust me. No one will ever accept you. Mateo He is only using you to make his wolf stronger,” he said as tears filled my eyes.
“You are lying!
GUR
“Ask him. Ask him why he hasn’t taken you into this pack or why no one acknowledges you as his mate,” he said.
I blinked back my tears as I looked into his eyes. Why would my mate hate me this much? I didn’t do anything to deserve treatment?
Why noon goddess! Why was I hated like this? By my mates? The first one cheated on me with my sister and now here both of my mates had women they love.
Was this my fate! To have mates that wanted nothing to do with me?
“If you want to punish me, do that. But don’t insult me when you know nothing about me,” I remarked, looking into his eyes as I felt the tears stream down the slits of my eyes.
“How dare you speak back to me?” He snapped as he punched the wall slightly, missing my face as I closed my eyes
“Let’s get out of here!”
Skye was stressed as I let the tears finally fall from my eyes.
“Fine! Come here.” He said to me as he grabbed me by my wrist out of his office, walking too fast as I tried to catch up with him…
People moved out of the way as he led me down the stairs.
“Micali?” Kate shouted as he dragged me out of the house. I tried to keep up my pace with him, but I was too slow for him as he dragged me, while his grip was tight on my hand.
“Cumie nal” He ordered as I followed him behind.
As we walk down the stairs, I miss my step, which causes me to love balance as I fall a few steps while he holds onto my wrist
105 PM c
“GET THE FUCK UP” He fumed
“Micah!” Kate shouted after him as she finally caught up with us standing in front of us
“Stay out of this Kate.” He commanded as she shook her head.
“No. People are watching you right now,” she said through gritted teeth before glancing at me, then back up at him.
“Stay the fuck out of this.” He growled. “You! Get the Puck up!”
“Not She’s y your mate and whether you like it or not, you will eventually have to accept your face,” she said to him as he scoffed, looking at me, then back at her.
She was finally getting through to him…
“I said get the fuck up! And you stay out of this” he snapped using his alpha voice as Kate gasped, glancing at me.
She glances at me as she finally bows her head in submission. Taking me by my arm, he led me across the pack like some whore he picked up from a club but caught stealing.
We arrived at what seemed like a warehouse. Machines running and a loud noise came from behind the gates.
“Here!” He said, throwing me to the ground as I fell to the ground on my knees.
“Daniel!” He shouted at the top of his voice as I turned to look at him.
“Yes, alpha!” Daniel bowed his head as his eyes widened, looking at me.
“She will work here for two weeks, he started.
Daniel looked puzzled as he opened his mouth to say something. “That’s an order!” He said to Daniel, who bowed his head.
“Maybe she might learn something about being submissive while she’s here, He said to Daniel as I sniffled back, looking at him
‘I fucking hate him, Skye barked as I struggled to stand up
“Alpha, if I may_” Daniel was about to speak
“No, you may not! Take her in!” He ordered as I swallowed hard, wondering what was going to happen to me.
This wasn’t happening right now. There was no way that I would be forced to do whatever work he wanted me to do.
Daniel bowed his head before Micah as he came closer to where I was helping me get up from the floor.
“What the hell is happening here! Mateo walked in just as Daniel wrapped his arms around my shoulders, helping me get to my feet.
“Why don’t you ask your mater Micah said to Mateo as he glanced at me, then back at Micah.
“Zara!”
“I didn’t do anything all I did was
“Don’t you fucking lie! You dared to hit the Luna of this pack.” He stated as Mateo shifted his attention to me, his face losing all colour as he looked
at me.
“Is this true!” Mateo asked me as I blinked back my tears.
“Uh Um stuttered as Mateo turned back to Micah
“She’s my mate
my mate as well. Whatever happened doesn’t justify her being punished like this,” Mateo defended me as Micah stepped closer, closing the gap between him and Mateo.
“I think you forget something, little brother. Am I the fucking Alpha of this pack? So I decide what happens to someone who broke the rules. And
she made the most-
“She’s my mate. I will decide what punishment is suitable for her,” he defended me as I swallowed hard while my heart raced.
“No. She=”
“Micah! I decide what happens!” Mateo growled.
“You. Come with me” Micah turned towards me, grabbing me by my arm about to walk out of the room as Mateo stepped forward, blocking his
“I said I will handle it. Let go of her hand. Mateo said, standing up against his brother as tears filled my eyes.
Micah let go of my hand as he stepped back smiling.
“Just remember this while you try to protect her. You are also losing your wife,” he said to Mateo, who gazed at his brother, his face emotionless.
What the hell was happening? I can’t believe I brought such problems to the pack.
