"you should have gotten a mate by now. you're twenty and still no mate. Do you think I would let you stay here with me for another day? Never, you know that's never gonna happen. not even in the next life" Mr. Diego queried.
"But dad I'm only twenty, there's still time for me to get a mate. It's not too late at all, just give me a little time I will find my mate mate" Amanda pleaded. But Mr. Diego wouldn't hear of that.
"I don't think I have more time to give out to you. You are leaving this house today and I don't ever wanna see you hear" Her dad threatened.
"No dad you can't chase me out of the house. It's already late. Please dad I beg of you".
"I can only let you stay on one condition"
"I'm ready to do anything you want me to do".
"You would be joining them for this season's mate hunt" he finalized.
"But dad......"
"I'm not gonna listen to you. If you don't wanna go to the mate hunt, you can leave my house this minute" he yelled and stomped out.
Her mother tried talking her dad out of it but he wouldn't listen.
Mr. Diego has always been known as the man who doesn't go back to his words. And there's nothing anyone could do about it.
Amanda had no choice but to join them.
The day she dread most finally came.
She left her home very early in the morning to join the rest for the hunt.
The ladies were to meet at the lady's chamber before heading into the forest to be hunted by the Mateless Male werewolves.
And many unlucky once would be paired to wicked wolves or drunkards and that's what Kira dreads most. She doesn't want to be paired with someone like her dad.
She got to the chamber very early only to be met with emptiness as there was no one there.
She looked for a seat and sat down, waiting for the rest to come. She prayed silently for the moon Goddess to pair her with at least a good man. Someone who would love and cherish her. But unknown to her the moon Goddess already has a plan for her.
"Hey, good morning" A girl greeted.
She looked up expecting to see someone of her age but was surprised to see a woman between the age of forty to forty-five as she looks very old.
"Hey" she answered dryly.
"What are you doing here? Are you also here for the mate hunt? The woman asked.
"I guess so" was the only thing she could say.
After a while, the chamber was filled up with different women of different ages but none was as young as her.
Amanda felt uncomfortable around them.
They looked at her with disgust as they were all older than her. While some never spoke to her, others forcefully made her do things for them.
They all made a mockery of her.
"Even if she stays till fifty she still wouldn't have gotten a mate cause she looks ugly" one had said while the rest wouldn't stop laughing at her.
"You all should stop that. What you should be thinking about is how your life is gonna be after this. What if you are paired with someone who wouldn't respect you, someone who won't love and protect? You all should be ashamed of your for making a mockery of someone who is younger than you all" she said with sadness in her voice.
The hall became quiet as they looked down thinking of what she just said.
Amanda was an exception as that has been her prayer since her dad told her about the mate hunt.
It was time for them to run into the forest. She quivered and prayed silently before joining the rest into the woods.
They all separated as they got deeper into the woods.
She hasn't gotten far into the woods when she met Derek who didn't wait for a second before dipping his fangs into her neck to claim her.
He had also wanted them to make out in the woods but Amanda wouldn't hear of it as she gave him a very hard slap.
He looked at her, his eyes already red from anger. He held her hands tightly, tearing the clothes off her body.
She wailed and scream for someone to help but luck wasn't on her side as there was no one close by.
END OF FLASHBACK.
That was the worst day of her life. Being claimed by this monster who calls himself her mate and now he wants to give his daughter out without considering her feelings.
His love for wealth and power has gotten so deep that she couldn't even defend herself from his vengeful eyes.
She can't imagine what her daughter would be passing through by now in the hands of another man.
Many times has she tried running back home but Derek being so evil and heartless would never let her.
He treated her more like a slave than a Luna. He never for once showed her love. He never cared about her feelings.
And now he's sending their only daughter away for his selfish reasons.
"And what are you still doing here? Leave" He screamed to her face.

"Let me go" Kira yelled hitting the hefty man who held him tightly.
They got to a room and she was thrown inside. She was expecting to be thrown into prison. But she was awed at the sight before her.
Chandeliers were hung around the room. A huge bulb was placed in the middle of the room, A huge bed in the middle of the room.
The door was pushed open as the man walked in already changed.
"Why am I here?" she asked rudely.
"Didn't your dad tell you? You're mine now. You're my toy and I can play with you whenever I want and you must listen and obey every word I say".
"Who do you think you are to tell me what I should do?"
"You're gonna know very soon, very very soon".
"Let me out of here. I don't wanna stay here for any minute".
He took a slow predatory steps close to her. He gripped her arm tightly. His nails pierced through her skin like he would rip them off any minute.
"You're hurting me" She tried pushing him away but he's stronger than he looks.
"Strip" he ordered coldly.

"I heard what happened in school today, River," Mrs. Damon said.
"Mom, it's not what you think. He actually started it first. He got on my nerves and I couldn't control it" River defended.
Charlie and Mrs. Damon are the only people he got and he hates seeing them sad. Especially Charlie.
"I never asked for your explanation" Mrs. Damon added. Walking out of the kitchen.
Charlie quickly set the table for her to put the tray on.
After having lunch everyone left for their room including River.
As soon as Charlie got in, she pushed the door close and hopped onto the bed.
She made a few clicks on her phone. Her eyes widened in shock as the picture of what River did was all over the Internet.
Will some were cursing River for trying to kill the boy. Others were gushing on his handsomeness.
"Why would a little kid wanna kill an innocent boy?"
"He's so handsome and I think the other boy is at fault"
"I wish he was boyfriend".
"He should be punished for his crime".
"He looks like the handsome devil"
These were comments from the people who watched the video.
"Useless people" Charlie muttered and lay on the bed to take a nap.
River on the other hand kept looking at the pendant and book that was given to him by his mom before her tragic death.
"Mom, where ever you are I just want you and dad to know that I always and will always love you till my last breath. I'm taking back what rightfully belongs to us. I torture and make him pay for his crimes. I promise you that and I hope you're happy where you are" River cried silently.
His parents were killed on his birthday by rogues. But what he knows is that whosoever that killed his parents is sitting on their throne and he has sworn to take revenge.
He laid on his bed crying silently till he slept off.
The blaring of Charlie's phone woke her up from her deep slumber.
She lazily pressed the answer button without checking who it was. Not she wanted to know anyway.
"who's on the line? She asked grumpily
"Come to the school entrance, I got something to show you concerning your brother Rivers," The person on the other end said.
