Chapter: Chapter 57“Please help me, mommy,” I cried after the cell doors slammed shut.“You are no daughter of mine, monster,” my mother said, hatred in her eyes. Up until now, I’d been too scared to cry, but the moment I saw her turn her back and walk away, the dam finally burst. Sinking down to the dirty floor, I pulled my knees to my chest and buried my face in them. I wanted this nightmare to end, I wanted to wake up from this terrible dream.I wanted my mommy and daddy to come and save me.It all started the day before when I turned six. Strange marks appeared on my body after blowing out my candles and something didn’t feel right. I felt like I was getting a tummy ache, and my head hurt really bad, so mommy and daddy took me to the Pack doctor.We were there all day, and by the time the sun went down, I was so tired that I fell asleep the moment mommy tucked me into the bed at the hospital. She left with daddy and promised to return in the morning, which made me really happy. However, when I woke

Chapter: Chapter 56“That was about eight years ago now,” Lannie began, pausing to sip her tea. “And most of us here were either Luna’s at the time, or daughters of ranked wolves, so we attended all the major celebrations held at the Thunder Pack. Sadly, none of us were present for her sixth birthday, we don’t even know what day it falls on, but we heard about it after.”Lannie paused to share a round of laughter with the other Luna’s before continuing. “Apparently, she was marked by the Goddess, but instead of a blessing, she was given a curse mark. The same day, their Luna at the time was suddenly hit with a terrible illness. Later that night, when the Pack doctors went in to check on the Luna, they found Ayla sitting on her bed. No one ever confirmed what exactly happened, but we do know two things for certain.”“First, the Luna was found dead. And secondly, Ayla was blamed for it. She was kicked out of her home, disowned by her family, and was forced to become a slave for the Pack. She spent her nigh

Chapter: Chapter 55Luna Belle“Remember dear,” Belle mind-linked her daughter. “Eyes and ears open, and be sure to keep calm. Do not let them get a rise out of you. Something doesn’t feel right.”“What do you sense,” Maize linked back, glancing over at her with a worried expression. Maize was nearly fully grown and was already nearly as tall as Belle, and truly a gem in her mother’s eyes.Belle tried to gather her thoughts, to figure out the best way to put descriptions to the feelings she was sensing from behind the double doors they were now approaching. Instead of answering, however, she turned to meet her daughter’s gaze, putting on her game face.Maize took a deep breath and did the same, a perfect smile forming on her lips.The doors were opened by a pair of guards, and nearly twenty sets of eyes turned to take them in. Predatory smiles, fierce stares, and curious glances. With the Luna’s from all twelve Packs in the Alpha Lord’s territory, thirteen if you included Luna Lannie herself, along with

Chapter: Chapter 54Misty was working on my hair while I tried my hardest to keep my eyes open.The wounds on my back hurt terribly, shifting last night had torn many of them open again, which nearly caused Rosie to have a heart attack when she cleaned me up once I was finally allowed back inside again. Of course, no one knew I could shift yet, so I told her it happened when I tripped and fell, several times.“Luna, please, with that silver powder infecting her cuts, they won’t heal properly. Until her wolf awakens, her healing is barely faster than a human. I don’t know if it’s due to her illness, her malnutrition, or the fact that she hasn’t had a full nights rest in only the Goddess knows how long, but she’s healing even slower than other Werewolves her age. Let me take her to the clinic for emergency treatment, otherwise she might…”She didn’t finish her sentence, but she didn’t have too. We all knew what she was going to say. I couldn’t talk, otherwise I would’ve told her I was alright. My brain was

Chapter: Chapter 53Luna Belle“Thank you, Lenard,” Belle said to their driver and bodyguard once they arrived at the house her children were staying at.He simply nodded his head before grabbing their luggage from the truck while Sebastion stood at the front door, holding it open for them. Belle was glad to see all four of her cubs were waiting for them, just as she instructed. Only Ben and Maize were her trueborn children, but she viewed every cub in the Pack as hers. Especially the future Delta and Gamma, who grew up as brothers to both Ben and Maize.“What’s wrong, mother,” Ben asked, rubbing his eyes. Like most Werewolf males, he slept without a shirt on, and Belle couldn’t help but wonder exactly how her little boy grew up so fast.“Unfortunately, that girl decided to play another prank,” Maximus sighed, rubbing his eyes the same way Ben had. It made Belle smile, seeing how similar both of them were, despite how much they refused to see it.“Oh no, daddy,” Maize sighed sadly. “What did she do this

Chapter: Chapter 52“I-I’m so sorry, I don’t know what happened,” I cried, freaking the hell out. Horrified, I got onto my knees and bowed deep to Luna Belle. “Please forgive me, I didn’t mean too.”An explosion of sound erupted around me a second later, washing all around me to the point that I couldn’t concentrate on any of it. Chairs were scraped back, voices were raised, and anger was thick in the air. And through it all, I just stayed on my knees, bowing to Luna Belle. Too scared to look up, or even open my eyes.When I felt someone’s hand pulling up on my chin, I jumped violently, my eyes flying open only to find myself locked in Luna Belle’s fierce gaze. “Care to explain yourself, little miss.”In my delirious state, I couldn’t help but remember all the other Luna’s who have looked at me with those same eyes. Pain, humiliation, and trauma always followed, without exception. Usually lasting for days, or until they finally left to return to their Packs. Unable to stop myself, I started to shake viol
