THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

I hardly got any sleep the previous night and it wasn’t because I was thinking about my current predicament. Something else captured my mind.

The fact that Ma’am Sophia called Alpha Hardin by his first name.

She actually referred to him as “Hardin”

Just the thought of it scares me and I wonder where she got such audacity from. She’s quite brave and I wonder who her husband and children are. They must be really proud to have a mother as brave as she is. Her daughters must be fighters.

I hastily put on my clothes and shoes and when I’m all set, I exit my room. I can never thank Ma’am Sophia enough for saving me from those evil women. These days I can freely take my shower and dress up without the fear of being seen or molested by someone else.

I walk out of the servant quarters and take the path leading to the security quarters and quickly snap my head up when someone calls me. I turn to the direction of the call and I’m shocked to see Kylie striding towards me with a wide smile plastered on her face.

I wonder what she why she’s here.

“Good morning” She greets cheerfully as she approaches me.

“Good morning Kylie, how was your night?”

“It was splendid and yours?”

“It was okay” I lie.

My night wasn’t okay at all, I had pains all over my body as a result of the hard work I did all day yesterday.

“That’s cool.” She remarks as she just keeps staring at me with her charming wide smile on and I wait for her to say something, but she says nothing.

“So…?” I ask with a creased brows, equally smiling.

“You’re my brother’s mate right?” She suddenly blurts out and I hastily close her mouth with my palms and urge her to stop taking.

“Shhhh! You’re brother is going to get very mad at you if he hears you saying that”

“Well, he already grounded me for a whole month, so the punishment can’t get any worse. You are his mate after all!” She squeals in excitement and I just look at her shocked.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s nothing to be excited about Kylie.”

“I’m just happy that it’s you, not Wilma. You are way prettier and nicer than Wilma.”

“Really now? Haven’t you heard that I killed her?”

“I know you didn’t. You would never do a thing like that. If anything caused Wilma’s death, it was her selfishness and wickedness. You know, her mate is my best friend’s brother but she rejected him just to be with someone who was not her mate. She deserved what she got.”

“Kylie, I really do appreciate you defending me, but, I don’t want you to get into trouble with you brother”

“Forget about Hardin” She says with a playful frown and I just shake my head.

She’s adorable and I love her already.

“I have to head over for training, Hardin can’t know I was here. Please.” She begs.

It’s not like I actually even converse with him.

“Your secret is safe with me”

“I like you!” She says firmly as she scurries away and I just chuckle and I walk on.

She’s such a free spirited girl and she’ll definitely make a perfect Luna one day.

I hurry over to my post so I don’t arrive late and when get there, I almost choke on my saliva when I see Beta Miguel seated on my chair and he seems like he has been waiting for me.

What is he doing here?

“Good morning Beta Miguel” I greet as I bow my head down as a sign of respect to him.

“Good morning Luna” He greets and I instantly snap my head up to look at him.

What did he just call me?

“Excuse me?” I ask in shock.

“Good morning Luna” He repeats and I shake my head.

“I’m not a Luna, you better not let Alpha Hardin hear you calling me Luna”

“Yes, you are our Luna and I will call you Luna anytime I want”

“A Luna is not treated like a criminal by her very own mate and in her very own pack. That has never happened in the history of werewolves”

“Well that’s because there has never been an Alpha such as Alpha Hardin in the history of werewolves. This is the point where I’m tempted to call him a dim-wit but I can’t. He is my Alpha and it’s forbidden for me to slander him in his absence”

“I understand”

“How are you holding up?” He asks concerned and I look at him and shrug.

“What do you think?” I ask carelessly and honestly I don’t know where I got this courage from. I’m actually talking with Beta Miguel like I was his equal. I even have the nerve to reply his question with a question.

This is serious.

“Pale skin, dark circles under your eyes, lost a few pounds. Nope, you aren’t doing good at all. Something needs to be done”

“Nothing needs to be done Beta, I have just a few weeks to be here and I can assure you that I’ll be alright” I explain and he just looks at me and shakes his head.

“Hardin, I just hope he doesn’t realizes himself when it’s too late”

“Hmmm?”

“Nothing Luna. I just came to check on you and I’m glad that you look … well, a bit okay. You’ll be fine Luna, I promise you that sooner or later everything will fall in place. Just be strong and take good care of yourself” He encourages and I feel my heart swells up with emotions.

Lately, Ma’am Sophia has been the one comforting me and now that Beta Miguel has added to the list, I can’t help but feel happier. It’s fells really good to have nice people around.

It feels really nice.

“Thank you very much Beta Miguel, I’ll make sure to do as you have said”

“That’s my Luna. That said, I’ll be on my way now, but I’ll make sure to check on you from time to time. So, expect me often”

“I’ll be right here”

“See ya” He sings as he walks away and I just chuckle in amusement.

Did I really just have a happy conversation with the Beta of this pack?

Did he just speak nicely to me or was I dreaming?

Wow! A few people actually like me, that feels so nice!

“You must feel like you are on top of the world right now” Someone speaks from behind and when I turn around to look, I’m not surprised to see Anastasia and her crew standing behind me, giving me dirty glares.

They always do that.

“Leave me alone Ana”

“You have the nerve to talk with our Beta, how dare you?”

“Are you for real? It’s not like I went to talk to him, he came here all by himself, was I supposed to just ignore him?” I defend and without warning, Anastasia firmly grabs my left broken arm and I scream in pain.

That arm hurts.

It hurts so bad and the way she has it grasped in her hand only makes the pain worse. I can feel a wave of excruciating pain wash over my entire body and I loose balance when her fingers connect with my left cheek in a very hard smack. I fall on the ground and hold my cheek as tears start spilling down uncontrollably from my eyes.

My arm hurts very much and my jaw stings as a result of the smack. My heart hurts because of everything I have been through lately and ultimately, I am weak and broken because my very own mate is the master planner of all this suffering.

I cry harder and the girls burst into laughter.

“This is just the beginning, we will make sure to make your life miserable in this pack so that the next time you want to commit murder, you are going to think twice!”

“Murderer!” Melissa spits out angrily and they all walk away.

I lay on the ground and cry harder, praying in my heart for the Moon goddess to just end my life right away, because I can’t take it anymore.

The pain, the hatred, the humiliation is too much for me to bear.

Sweet Moon goddess, please just end my miserable life already!
