-Ashina- 

I have been in what seems to be what? A trance? For how long? Days? Weeks? Months? I can't tell. But in that period, the world seemed to pause until I opened my eyes to a ceiling.

Is this the moment I join my ancestors and all those who have lived before me? I wondered to myself. I knew I had died, and even then, a consciousness of the afterlife was what I could not understand. Is this what it means to die?

I haven't been able to feel anything for a while but now I felt myself lying on a bed, harder than the one I had in my room.

"Elena...Elena..."

While I was still trying to process what was happening to me, I heard a voice call in the distance. Whose voice is that? It kept getting closer and closer till a door creaked open.

"Elena, are you still in bed, honey?" A woman's voice said softly and it seemed she was referring to me. I made an effort and sat up.

Wait...this is not the afterlife, is it? Why, this is the room of a typical werewolf. Surely, I can't be alive.

The woman sighed, bringing my attention back to her. She walked from the door to the bed and sat beside me.

I was puzzled. What is going on? Who is this woman? Where are all the maids? Where is my wedding dress? I'll be late for the wedding, where's...

"Elena, are you still sad about it?" The older woman said. "We talked about it already, didn't we? I and your father have been working so hard. Once we gather the money, we'll buy you back from Gizmo. You know it is never our intention for you to be his slave but we can't help it."

Wait a damn minute...

I am not Elena. What in the devil's name...

My eyes dilated as they rested on the mirror in the room. I took my hand to my face in shock. This...is not me. I stood up and walked to the mirror to be sure I was seeing well. The pretty face staring back at me was not mine.

I almost crawled out of my skin. It was at that moment the memories began to come. Stacy walked out of my room after poisoning me, a young lady taking wheezy breaths on her bed, which were her last. The dress I had on was what she was wearing.

It all made sense to me now, I had reincarnated in another's body.

And not only do I have to deal with that, I have been sold off to Gizmo. Could my life get any better?

"Elena?" The woman, whom I drew to be Elena’s mother, walked up to me with tears in her eyes. She placed a hand softly on my shoulder.

"Please don't hate us," she said. "Your father cannot even look you in the face because of the shame he feels."

I could only stare at her. I had no words in my mouth. I watched as she sobbed softly, leaning on me for support.

There were sounds outside and she looked up with a gasp. She rushed to the window and looked.

"They are here already," she sounded horrified. "Quick, get ready, they are here for you."

I did not even have the time to recover from everything that had happened to me. I was already being paraded to the palace in a ride, through the familiar streets I had grown to know all my life.

The worst thing? I am to be a slave to Gizmo, Lucian’s younger brother whom I detested because of his disgusting and ruthless nature.

I was pushed into the palace roughly towards Gizmo's quarters.

He was seated on a large comfy chair with a hard countenance as always. It was very difficult to believe that this same man was the brother of my loving Lucian.

Lucian was a tough man as well; as a leader, he had to be, but only when necessary. But Gizmo was evil by nature.

As I stood looking at him, I wondered how I would be able to cope, and what Lucian would be now without me.

A sharp pain cut across my face, the sound of Gizmo's hard skin against my face resounding in my ears.

I gasped, losing my balance and falling to the ground. I was so lost in my thoughts that I did not notice him walk towards me.

"That's right," he sneered, looking down at me. "I guess your parents did not teach you to bow before royalties."

"Is this the dirty thing that man gave you?" I heard him say to the guards.

"Yes, Gizmo," one replied.

"She is not even worth the Price," he hissed. "But she will be of some use to me. Take her out of my sight and let her begin work immediately."

And that was how I was welcomed back to the palace where I was once reverenced and honoured.

The guards were not anything gentle with me as they shoved me to a large room where Gizmo's maids lived all together.

"Find a corner over there, and get ready for work," one said and walked away.

I walked slowly into the room towards a bed, ignoring the pairs of eyes boring into my skin.

I had barely settled on one, which I presumed to be empty when about three girls approached me.

"Hey new girl," One of them said to me.

"No Suzy, you don't call her new girl. She's the new slave," Another, apparently the meanest as her looks suggested, said and there was a chuckle across the room.

"Oh don't be so hard on the slave," the third said with mock pity.

"I heard her father borrowed money from Lord Gizmo but was too poor to pay, and now he has to give his daughter in exchange," The mean girl told them, and they laughed hysterically.

"Such a sad tale."

Everything was getting into my head, their noises and I almost shouted at them to get the hell out of my face, forgetting for a split second that I was no longer Ashina, the alpha's fiancé, but Elena, a commoner and now a slave. I had to hold my peace.

    - Ashina -"Hey girl", Stacy chanted gingerly as she walked into the room and stopped dead in her tracks with a look of shock on her face. "Oh my goodness! Where'd you get all these from?""Where else would I have gotten them from?" I laughed at the expression on her face. She walked fully into the room and began picking the clothes and accessories from the bed and boxes, looking them over."Wow!" She exclaimed. "They are very expensive, everything here is made of gold and precious stones even..." She picked up a necklace and continued. "Even diamonds? What are all these for? Are we going to appease a goddess or something?"I laughed again."No, we are not. All these are for me.""Really?" Ashina's eyes widened."Yeah," I said with a big smile on my face. "They are from Lucian. He bought them as gifts for me towards our wedding.""Wow!" She exclaimed again. "But all these? This is really much. Did you know how much he spent on all these?""I know, right?" I sighed. "I mean, I can only

  • Reincarnated as a Slave (His broken Luna)   Chapter 11

    - Ashina -Ann's expression carried a suspicious question as she approached me, seeing that I was looking at Lucian and Stacy."What are you saying, standing there and looking at the Alpha and Luna?" She asked with a raised brow and I winced inwardly, thinking she heard me."You wish that were you, huh?" She chuckled, nudging me playfully and I let out a sigh of relief. I thought for a moment she had heard exactly what I said because there was no way I could escape explaining that to her, and I couldn't."Oh the King and Queen look so good together," she placed her hands on her chest, looking at them with admiration. "I wish I were a princess too, you know, and I had my prince charming. But some of us are not so lucky. Imagine, I had to be a maid of all things. Why didn't the goddess give me something better? Like, I should at least have been born to a noble or wealthy family, at least, like the gammas."I barely listened to what she was saying as my eyes could not look away from Lucia

  • Reincarnated as a Slave (His broken Luna)   Chapter 10

    -Ashina -Stacy was walking with graceful and majestic steps towards me, and two maids were behind her. She was looking good and dressed in expensive regiments. I recognised the particular one she was putting on.It was one of these that Lucian had gotten for me as a present, which I had kept to wear when I eventually got married.I believed they were clothes meant for a Luna. I did not get to wear them because I did not live long enough to become Luna.But Stacy got them now because she's married to the Alpha. Memories of how she had poisoned me to death came flashing back.We had grown up loving each other so much but the incident broke everything. Anger writhed within me."Excuse me?" Her sharp voice broke into my thoughts and I shook a little. "Do you have a problem?"She had stopped right before me, and the looks on their face told me they must have been standing a little longer, perhaps trying to get my attention, but I was lost in my thoughts."N...no, my lady," I stuttered and

    Chapter 9- Ashina -Blood spurted out of my nose, and I bruised my shoulder when I fell. Ann ran to me and helped me up.Becca and her friends looked down as Damon stared at them with a hard frown on his face."What is this?" He asked them and turned particularly to Becca who had pushed me. "What did you do that for?""I did not mean to, but she pushed me first," Becca lied, and I did not put anything to my defence. Probably because I was still taken aback by the fact that I could not defend myself."And so you react that way? You've caused an injury to her," Damon said, looking at me briefly. "I expect better from you. You have been in this palace long enough and you are a royal attendant. What business do you have with her?"To that, Becca did not reply."I hope this does not repeat itself again because if it does, you will be punished greatly as this is not expected from you," Damon said. Loretta, who had stood behind Becca all this while, suddenly spoke."But are you going to war

    Chapter 8- Ashina -"What did you do to Lord Gizmo?" Ann asked me and I sighed."Nothing that I know of," I told her and she shook her head."How so?" She did not believe me. "There's no way he'd just punish you when you did not do anything.""I really don't understand myself," I insisted. There was a reason for the punishment, of course, but I could not tell her since I had been warned to stay away from the palace, and she warned me too.I cannot tell her I was there to see things for myself regarding Lucian and Stacy, and that would only mean I am a thief because there would be no other excuses I could give for going there."Mm," Ann hummed. "Well, you just be careful because you just arrived not long ago. I must warn you, you cannot afford for Gizmo to keep an eye on you. I, for one, try everything possible to avoid him. He's not in any way friendly.""Yeah sure," I smiled lightly. "Thanks for the counsel."She rolled her eyes at that."Now since you don't have anything tangible t

  • Reincarnated as a Slave (His broken Luna)   Chapter 7

    Chapter 7- Gizmo -I growled angrily as I returned to my room. I hate it when Lucian tries to meddle in my affairs and make it obvious he has authority over me and there is nothing I can do.Why doesn't he just stay in his lane and leave me alone? But most times he is not always like this. He barely says anything about my actions and decisions, except that they affect him or it's really serious.What does he care about a mere maid? I dropped onto my bed heavily, the sleep already cleared out of my face.And that useless maid. She just arrived in the palace and she's already causing so much trouble. I will deal with her and make sure she knows her place. What was she looking for in the palace after I warned her not to set foot in here until she was sent for?Now she made me follow Lucian's orders and I will make sure she suffers for it.- Ashina -By the next morning, my entire body was painfully sore and swollen. I couldn't even sleep well on the cold floor, and when the guards opene
