MY BETA'S CLAIM ON ME

Cilo's POV

"Move!"

I grunted and screamed as I was pushed forward violently.

"Mum please don't sell me off, I'll do anything please." I pleaded, tears rolling down my cheeks.

She sneered and raised her hand as if to hit me. "You better shut your mouth because if you dare make a scene, I'll kill you with my bare hands!" I shivered and walked forward, putting some distance between us.

"Your highness," We all got on our knees in front of them and waited for the command to rise.

"Rise," I started to stand when mum smacked my arm. I frowned and looked up at her in confusion.

"Remain on your knees," she gritted and I obeyed.

"So is this the girl?" came a booming voice. When I tried to look up, Mum smacked me again.

"She's the one."

"Being her over here..." I stood up and Mum tugged on my arm, dragging me towards the front of the seats.

I looked up and met his gaze shivering at the lust I saw in the man's eyes. Was this the King? Ugh, he was so old and why was he looking at me like I was a piece of meat?

"She'd do," he smiled and I felt a chill run down my spine at the hidden meaning.

I turned to my mother with panicked eyes.

"Mum, please..."

"We'll leave now, Your Highness. Thank you so much!" I watched in horror as my parents walked away leaving me with this pervert. .

"It's okay, come on." He called, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Come over here dear, let me take a good look at you," I hesitated but thought better of it when I spotted one of the burly looking guards making their way towards us.

"It's fine, you don't have to be scared. They won't hurt you as long as I say so."

He ran his hands over my face while his eyes shamelessly undressed me.

Why does this end?

"Father," I jerked away and stepped aside as another figure walked into the room. He wasn't burly, rather lean looking and handsome.

My wolf started shifting around restlessly in my head and my nose became more sensitive than before.

The sweet scent of citrus assaulted my senses and for a moment I was dizzy.

"You,!" the stranger suddenly said and my heart stopped.

"Mate," my wolf announced but I had already figured it out by myself.

"Son,do you know her?" The King asked, his arms reaching for me again but I stepped back twice causing him to frown.

He let out a mocking laugh as he sneered at me.

"How could I possibly know someone so filthy? Gosh what is that awful smile?"

I blinked back tears and fought my wolf who was clawing around trying to take over.

I couldn't believe it. My mate was the Crown Prince of the Werewolf royal family and also a total jerk.

What terrible luck...

"Are you okay dear?" The king asked and I nodded as I continued to step away from them. I didn't stop until I was miles away from then and even then I didn't stop until my back was against the wall.

"I'll give you both some privacy," I announced and did a quick curtsey as I bolted out of the room.

****

"There you are!" I jerked to my feet as I saw the Prince approaching.

"Stand still, I command you." Immediately my body froze and even though I wanted to run, I couldn't. It was a royal command after all.

"So you're my mate huh?" He snickered as he circled me, his nose turned up in disgust. "How pathetic." He spat on the ground and I closed my eyes.

"Couldn't the moon goddess have been a little creative? How could I end up with someone like you?" I inhaled sharply as he raised his hand but the slap never came. Instead he laughed hysterically and stepped back.

"Anyway I don't want you getting any ideas about us. The moon goddess made a huge mistake pairing us together so let's correct that..." My wolf clawed and whined but I ignored her, focused on the Prince and what I knew was coming.

"I Prince Kelvin of the Werewolf royal family reject you...what's your stupid name?" He barked and I cowered in fear.

"Clio.." I stammered.

"Even your name is dumb." He let out a long sigh. "I Prince Kelvin of the Werewolf Royal family rejects you Cilo, the pathetic Omega as my mate." I gulped as a dull ache began in my abdomen but raised my hand to my chest.

"Well, make it snappy I don't have all day." he snapped.

"I Cilo, accept your rejection Prince Kelvin." The pain that followed was blinding. I fell to the ground and held my chest, my eyes shut tightly.

"What a waste of space!" He spat on me before walking off. I remained there on the ground holding my chest that was burning.

"He'll regret this!" My wolf yelled before she retreated to the back of my mind shutting me out.

"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked no one in particular as I looked up at the sky. "They say you're just and merciful but how could you write such a cruel fate for me?" I finally gave into the tears and let them fall like torrents down my cheeks.

I don't know how long I stayed there but by the time I got up, it was already dark.

I made my way to the kitchen and quickly joined the rest of the maids with dinner preparations.

"Did you hear? The Crown Prince is getting married to the only daughter of Alpha Reigns." I heard a few maids talking so I listened in.

"I am envious of her, the prince is such a catch," I rolled my eyes. He was nothing but a jerk.

"Be careful with that or you might break it."

I looked down and flushed, realizing that I had been holding onto the serving spoon tightly.

"Alright girls let's go, time to serve dinner."

I stood straight as did the other girls. I knew instantly that the woman speaking had to be our head.

"Remember we have guests who might be in-laws of the royal family soon so be on your best behavior." So I got sold by my parents, met my mate and then got rejected and now I was about to meet my replacement? The moon goddess has such a twisted sense of humor.

"Let's go, move it!"
