Three Alphas, Fated To One, Played By One, But Mated To One-Chapter 56: Understanding the Pack

"In my park, I wasn’t treated like a princess, but I was valued by my parents and everyone. My pack isn’t big, but everyone there treats each other like family. That’s why I have found it too difficult to adapt here." One of the women picked up their courage and opened up.

"In my pack, my parents are warriors and I trained from a young age to be a warrior. I have participated in battles before and have more real experience than some of the female warriors here. But now, I am not even allowed in the training grounds. My mate also doesn’t seem to support me training for battle. I feel like I have lost my purpose." Another woman said with tears in her eyes.

I looked closely at her and realized that even though she had given birth before, she was still in good shape.

For her body to bounce back like that, she must really have trained for years and even though she hasn’t trained recently, her body hasn’t lost its shape.

If she could train again, she wouldn’t need too long to go back to her peak.

"I was literally a princess in my pack. I have never washed clothes in my life and even cooking, I have done that here. I don’t really ask for my old life but I feel as if I am wasting away and that makes me feel useless and inadequate." Another woman in her early twenties said sadly.

"I also....." women kept talking about their lives before joining their mates at Night claw pack and I was surprised at how low they have fallen.

This pack really ate people without spitting out the bones.

How could such great women be reduced to such groveling mess?

"Okay. I have heard all your versions. Now, my question is, why did you change? Why become what you are now after coming to this pack?" I asked them because honestly, I couldn’t understand how someone could have all that and still choose to live the life they are living now.

"We have no choice. We have been ostracised by others in the pack. Our mates also seem to think that this is normal and don’t do anything about it. So, our life has become nothing but bitterness." The timid woman who had come to stop me said.

"That is why I say I don’t get it. You see, like me, I was thrown into the life of a slave at the age of ten, but I have never once, bent for anyone. No matter who it is, no matter what punishment I suffer, I never let myself be trampled by anyone. I never let my self-esteem crash. Because no matter how other people treat me. No matter how they look at me, I know my worth. My parents loved me to death and I know that I am worth a lot more and no one can take that awareness and belief from me. So, what exactly happened to you guys who grew up with loving families? How can you forget about your worth in only a few years or months just because some people didn’t want to include you in their activities? So what if your mate doesn’t support you? Is he god? Didn’t you live your life to adulthood without them? Why make them the center of your world now? First live for yourself and love yourself before you expect someone else to. Do you need the approval of those ostracising you to live a fulfilling life? If they don’t let you join their events, why not create your own? If they don’t want to train with you, why not create your own training group? Do you really need other people so much?"

I honestly couldn’t take it anymore. These women had turned themselves into pitiful beings just because they wanted the approval of others.

If I had as much freedom as they have before, I would have accomplished so much. Yet they are wasting away because of their unappreciative mates. What a waste!

"Ah...Luna, it’s not that we don’t want to but take for example my mate, he told me that since the pack doesn’t allow me to train, then I should just forget about it. What can I do about that?" The woman who had said she grew up as a warrior asked.

"Really? You are asking that question?" I couldn’t help but look at her with contempt, but caught myself in time.

I realized that not everyone had as much backbone as I have, but I wasn’t going to sit back and watch them ruin their lives for mates who didn’t deserve them.

"Let me ask you a question. Is your mate more powerful than Mike?" I asked seriously.

Gasps rang around the group. The women turned to look at each other then finally at me.

"Of course not. Alpha Mike is the alpha. How could my mate be more powerful than him?" The lady said timidly while looking around as if she was afraid that someone would hear her.

"Then if I am not afraid of Mike and can stand up to him, why can’t you do the same with your mate?" I couldn’t understand what was wrong with these women. Why give a man so much power that you forget who you are?

"Not every mate is like the alpha. My mate once threatened to reject me if I insisted on training like I did in my pack. I had no choice but to give in." The woman finally revealed.

I looked around and realized that most of the women weren’t surprised. It seemed that they had faced the same problem with their mates.

"Then you are the one who gave him the power to step on you. Step on your self-esteem, and turn you into what you are now. Let me ask you ladies a question, most of you already have kids. Would you want your children to live the same way you do?"

Even before I could finish that sentence, the women were already shaking their heads like a rattle drum.

"How is that possible? No mother would want their child to live such a miserable life." Even the timid woman spoke confidently this time.
