THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Reign’S POV

If you’d ask me, I’d say all of this is the moon goddess’ doing.

Letting Kol and I be held hostage is all her plan, because I don’t really know what got over me to decline Kol’s offer to take the bracelet off my wrist.

It doesn’t make any sense that I refused, right?

Yeah, I know.

I think it’s the Moon goddess’ plan.

The most intriguing thing is that I don’t feel afraid.

I am not squeamish.

Not even a bit.

I remain calm and confident. Not even their threatening words can make me panic.

This battle is ours, that is one thing for sure. All this is just a process and a challenge we have to overcome and I know we will.

“Well, well, well” I hear someone sing from the door and I snap my head up to look at who just sang and I am not surprised at all to see Lance and his mate, Yves.

They must both feel like winners now that they have got Kol and I locked up in here.

I rise up from the ground and as I walk towards the door, they both take two steps behind and I laugh.

I like it when people take precautions around me.

“How may I help you?” I ask with a smile and Yves scoffs.

“How exactly can you help anyone in this state?”

“You will be surprised at how I can make that happen” I explain and she rolls her eyes clearly bored.

I don’t even know what I’m going to do with her once this war is over. One thing for sure is that she’s going to stay for a long long time in the dungeon back at home.

“Your accomplice was caught earlier today”

“I noticed”

“And I was wondering, now that the two of you are now in the same predicament, how do you intend to get out?”

“I’d be a fool to tell you, wouldn’t I?”

“Whatever the plan is, just know that it’s not going to work!”

“Understood”

“Good”

“Please don’t tell me this all what you came to tell me”

“Not really, I came to check on how you are holding up. You look terrible, hungry, tired and it’s quite satisfying. I can’t wait to see you when you must have spent a whole week in here”

“I’m going to spend a whole week here only in your dreams!”

“Wanna bet?” She dares as she attempts to stretch her forward.

“Stretch that hand forward and I’ll squeeze you through these bars until you meet me here. You wouldn’t want to imagine what’s going to happen next.” I warn with a stern look and she swallows dryly as she withdraws her hand and takes a step backwards in fear.

“Let’s get out of here.” Lance instructs as he wraps a protective arm around her waist and leads her away.

I sadly get on my feet and close my eyes.

I miss Hardin.

I miss his cuddles, I miss his kisses, I miss all the times he would mind link every hour just check up on me.

I just wish we would get out of here soon so I can finally be with him again.

“Hello” I hear a tiny voice call from the door and when I snap my head up to look, I see a young girl of about fifteen, standing at the door with a tray of food in her hands.

She has on a faded gown that seems a bit tattered at various parts. Her thick brunette hair is seriously unkept and tangled and the finger marks on her face tells me that she isn’t getting a fair treatment around here.

She must be one of the poor girls Kol told me about.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Lance is the devil himself.

The girl looks very scared and she seems glued to the spot with her head bowed down. I take calculated steps towards her to the door so I don’t scare her away.

“Hi” I greet back as calmly as I can and when she raises her head up to look at me, I give her a bright smile and she tries to smile back but fails woefully at it.

The only reason why someone will try to smile but fail is if he or she is going to through a traumatic situation.

Looking at this girl, what she has on, the marks on her body and how she’s trembling right now, I can swear on my life that there’s something wrong somewhere and I have to find out.

“I brought your dinner Luna” She says as she stoops down and slides the tray of food under the barred door and rises up once more.

“Thank you very much”

“You are welcome”

“Are you too busy?” I ask nicely and she looks at me and shakes her head.

“No, why?”

“Well, I’m just very lonely. You know I’ve been here alone all day and I really need someone to talk to, even if it’s just a few minutes.”

“You can talk with me if you don’t mind,” she says with a careless shrug and I smile.

I like her already.

“Thank you” I sat down on the floor and she did the same. “What’s your name?”

“Louisa”

“Louisa, that’s a beautiful name. It’s just as beautiful as you are”

“I’m not beautiful”

“Of course you are”

“No I’m not, all the men say I’m not beautiful”

“All the men? Which men?” I am alarmed.

“The men I satisfy at night. They all always hit me in the face before they have sex with me because I’m not pretty”

“Oh my God” I exclaim weakly and I feel a wave of nausea take over me.

Poor girl.

She is one of Lance’s sex slaves.

That heartless buffoon!

“You mean every now and then you have sex with random men?”

“Yeah, sometimes I’m very sore and tired and I wouldn’t want to go to them, but my mistress will force me and I’ll have no choice but to go. If I happen to meet with a guard in an isolated area, I’m going to get brutally raped” She explains and … and…

“Oh my God” I exclaim weakly, sadly as I rub my face with my palms in frustration.

Never have I ever heard such sacrilege in my life.

Even when I worked as a servant for Hardin, never did I hear that a shewolf was being sexually abused.

Even the guard who tried to rape me the other time got severely punished.

Most Alpha’s protect their shewolves from such degrading acts but Lance is exposing his Shewolves to them and it’s actually nerve wracking to hear.

Sweet Moon Goddess!

“How old are you Louisa?”

“I’m sixteen years old”

“Okay. You do know who I am right?”

“Yeah, you are Luna Reign, the Paramount Luna”

“Good. And do you know that I can help you?”

“Help me? But how? You are locked up”

“Well, if you can get me out, I am going to take you away from here to my pack where you will live a much better life”

“How can I help you get out?”

“By getting me the keys to this door”

“Only Alpha Lance keeps the keys this door Luna and…” she suddenly stops talking and looks at me with eyes wide open.

“What’s wrong?”

“I think I know exactly where that key is”

“Where is it?”In Alpha Lance’s office, in a little box. Whenever I go to clean his office, he always tells me not to touch it and one time I over heard him telling one of the dungeon guards to get the key to your cell door from it”

“Can you, can you get it for me?”

“Luna, that will be putting my life on the line. If I get caught, I’m going to get killed and who knows what they will do to you”

“I very well know that Louisa, but you have to do this for you, for every other girl of your age in this pack who is going through the same predicament as you are. You need to take this risk for all of us” I say in a firm tone as I turn around and hold both her hands, looking straight into her eyes. “You can do this” I encourage and she nods in agreement.

“I guess being killed is way better than warming the beds of different men every night and sometimes the Alpha’s bed”

“Does Lance sleep with you too?”

“He sleeps with anything that has a hole between its legs” She darns and I laugh hard despite the fact it is not funny at all.

He is a pathetic werewolf and he is going to pay for all his crimes.

I will make sure of that.

“I’d rather die than spend the rest of my as a sex slave in this pack Luna, I’m going to find that key and bring it to you. I promise” She says confidently and I lean forward and kiss both her hands.

I love her bravery. She is supposed to be a Wall Street Shewolf

“That’s my girl. Now run along and get to work”

“I hope you enjoy your meal. I notice you didn’t eat your lunch so I made this one specially for you. I promise it’s healthy.”

“Thank you very much Louisa” I thank her and she just nods her head and leaves. I pull the tray of food close to me and open both plates. My mouth waters when I see a plate of mashed potatoes and a bowl of soup.

I taste it and indeed it tastes good.

I sincerely owe Louisa one for this.
