My heart hammered against my ribs with painful intensity, though I couldn’t pinpoint why. The thought of seeking out a healer crossed my mind, but I quickly dismissed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today held too much significance. Everyone scrambled to prepare for the new alpha’s initiation ceremony. Omegas darted through the halls, frantically following orders from their superiors to ensure perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king’s attendance only heightened the pressure—no one dared slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeking medical attention would only invite trouble. They’d brand me lazy, another excuse to torment me further. I’d endured enough of their cruelty already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you gawking at?! Move!\" Miss Kira’s vicious bark cut through my thoughts. Her glare burned into me, her round face and full lips permanently twisted into a scowl. As the senior omega overseeing pack house operations, she wielded fear like a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone cowered before her, but I remained her favorite target—I never fought back, never gave her the satisfaction of a reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emptiness had hollowed me out long ago. Pain no longer registered. Food turned to ash in my mouth, every meal flavorless and bland. I’d grown numb to it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, I’d tried ending the misery with a blade, but Kevin discovered me before I could bleed out. He’d chained me to his bed for weeks, ensuring I couldn’t harm myself again. The helplessness of being restrained, unable to move—I’d rather die than endure that torture again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I simply existed, going through the motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move!\" Kira shrieked directly in my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the ache spreading through my chest, I continued my duties. My body begged for rest after Kevin had used me until morning, but I pushed through the exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sleep eluded me anyway. I despised every moment spent with him, though struggling only fueled his sick pleasure. I refused to give him that satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My luck soured when I stumbled upon Reginald tangled with an omega in one of the guest rooms I was meant to clean. Of course I’d find the most disgusting trash here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you staring at? Get out!\" Reginald’s savage snarl filled the room when he spotted me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, I turned and left. My expression remained unchanged—no surprise, no emotion. My indifference clearly infuriated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceremony wouldn’t begin for two hours. Plenty of time for Reginald to prepare, no need to rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you going?\" the omega whined as Reginald pulled away, leaving her naked and wanting as he climbed from the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw on his clothes and stormed after me, catching up just as I rounded the corridor corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand clamped around my elbow, slamming me against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you dare ignore me!\" Reginald’s fingers wrapped around my throat. \"Such a waste you turned into a runt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eighteenth birthday had broken something inside me—I still couldn’t shift into wolf form. Everyone assumed I’d become a runt, a shifter who couldn’t shift. Bad luck personified, a rejected soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now people touched their ears when they passed me, warding off my supposed curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such superstitions didn’t stop Kevin from taking his pleasure from me nearly every night. Nothing discouraged his twisted obsession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You told me to leave. I left,\" I stated flatly, meeting my stepbrother’s rage with empty eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t talk back to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On any other day, I might have laughed at his contradiction—demanding I acknowledge him while exploding when I spoke. But amusement had died in me long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful. The alpha will be pissed if you mark me,\" I said in the same monotone that always enraged him further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We weren’t close anymore. Reginald wanted his share of me, but Kevin was possessive of his toys. He didn’t share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reginald could have me when Kevin grew bored, when he was finished. But a year had passed, and his infatuation remained strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was supposed to be his mate. No matter how many women he bedded, he always returned to me. We weren’t the same as his casual flings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck you!\" Reginald snarled, but I felt no fear. He could bark all he wanted—he wouldn’t dare touch me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not after he nearly died six months ago when Kevin caught him trying to kiss me. Only Cameron’s intervention had saved Reginald from being torn apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me go.\" I pushed against him, but his grip on my throat only tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>",730,"2026-06-06T16:11:22.292Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b380205f8e6813d6a8f9ef5a6407165ebf22982ebdeedf0cb4ea537a8e83d39","marked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-chapter-7","marked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-chapter-5",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarked-by-the-mad-king-alpha-cover.jpg"]
