I was glad to have brought the few bathing essentials I owned. I left the room to the bathroom admiring the exquisite bathtub and shower head. There was a cabinet on the wall and a mirror. I looked at my pale face, sunken tired eyes and bony cheekbones.
What would Lucian's parents think of me? I wondered before scoffing and taking off my clothes. Why did it matter, I hated him and I couldn't care less about his parents.I hummed a familiar poem and I scrubbed off the sweat from the ride and brushed my teeth. I left the bathroom in a white towel I found in the cabinet.As I ransacked through my clothes, I thought of what to wear. Probably jeans and blouse. A tiny voice in my head rebuked and urged me to wear my favourite gown because no matter how hard I tried, I didn't want to think of Lucian's parents. I still did.I took out the floral gown that fell past my knee and put it on, I noticed a piece of thread loosen and I tucked it under my"I'm sorry about Lucy. She didn't know who you were." Lucian started to say and I just rolled my eyes in irritation."I'm really tired, what is it that seemed so important that you had to order me to listen to you?" I asked."Nothing really.""Nothing?" I ask in disbelief, as I let out a dry laugh."We don't like being disrespected but you were out of line tonight." Lucian scolded and I scoffed."Was I?" I feigned innocence. "Of course, I've been disrespected all my life and I shouldn't care that my own mate is too weak to stand up for me!" I spat angrily."I'm not weak. I won't let you question my strength and authority in my own home, never!" Lucian rose, pointing an accusing finger at me."I already did." I mocked, resting my back against the headboard as I stared down at my nails."Then don't do it again or else-" He started to say I cut him off, sparing me a glare."Hit me? Didn't
Mustering what little courage I had left I turned to see what was happening. I saw Lucy first, her blue eyes filled with tears as they filed didn't get cheeks. The smirk and devious look she had given me earlier was replaced by a sad face and I raised my brow in confusion.Lucian came into my line of vision next, and an angry look on his face and eyes glaring hatefully at me.What the hell has she done?"I warned you!" Lucian snarled, pointing an accusing finger at me. I held my nervousness as I frowned, masking the fear that shot up my spine at his loud voice."About what exactly because all I remember you saying were unnecessary rules." I replied, glancing between Lucy and him."What you have done is unforgivable." He said again and I stared in confusion. From the corner of my eyes, Henrietta had come to stand beside me."What exactly am I being accused of?" I asked tiredly."You moved to hit Lucy and eve
"Oh my, you're awake. You got me really scared." I groaned and opened my eyes slowly to see Rietta standing over me. A soft smile curled my lips."Hey." I whispered before looking around to see that I was lying on my bed. It was bright outside, with the sun peeking into my room.Had I been out all night? I wanted to ask but I tried to seat you and Henrietta helped me, and I rested my back against the headboard."I was so worried." She said, smiling sadly at me as she tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear."I'm fine." I assured her, smiling sadly at her but she frowned, her eyes laced with worry."That's what you said yesterday. And look at what happened. Is your heat always that painful?" She asked and I sighed before nodding."Yes, it gets worse each time, but I'm getting used to it." I said, trying to convince her as I masked my worried tone but it did nothing to lessen the worry on her face."You didn
Lucy leaves me and stands up. Still on the floor I pant and attempt to stand up but my entirely body aches. I manage to look up and see Lucian standing above me. My anger towards me is preventing me from asking for help. Angrily, I spit out the build up of blood mixed with my saliva on the kitchen floor."You bitch! That's wrong" Lucy screams at me. I look at her with disdain. I manage to stand up. Walking out of the kitchen I turn to Lucy."You will learn to respect me one way or the other" She scoffs."The audacity. Who do you think you are coming into my pack and asking for respect?" "I am your Luna, a choice I didn't make and this is my pack now! Live with it" I walk out still struggling. I felt Lucian's presence behind me but I ignore it until he finally places his hand on my arm."Please wait" He begs. I turn back."I need to see to my wounds. Excuse me" I walk away to the room that was given to me.
"How do you feel?" She asks me. Making her way to the bed. "Better actually" I answer her. She chuckles."Not that". Confused I ask,"What then?" "I just saw my brother and he was smiling really hard and I think you have something to do with that" Henrietta smiles at me."I doubt that. We've never had a civil conversation" I reply trying to hide my excitement."This is different. Thank you for this Raina and I'm sorry for earlier" She apologies."I overstepped. I should not have disrespected you that way. I understand you were just trying to help" I reason with her. Besides she is the only friend I have here. Staying mad at her is not going to do me any good."No Rain. We are friends now. I'm not just the alpha's sister to you anymore" She tells me."I don't keep friends but I can make an exception with you" I smile at her. She smiles."Why?" She asks me."Becau
Lba 13As soon as Henrietta left the room I decided to pick the same outfit I wore the day I got here. My knee-length flora outfit and also my best cloth. I brushed my shoulder-length brown hair back with my old hairbrush. I put on my only pair of shoes that I never really got to wear because I’m busy working. I used my hand to wipe the flat black shoes and stare at the mirror looking at myself.Looking at myself in the mirror all I see is a sad angry young woman trying to live life a little even after all she's been through. I see a young woman who hates everybody for what they put her through. They made her suffer even after all the sacrifices that she and her family made for the pack. This young woman does not think she will ever forgive these people for what they did to her. I tried to tuck my stomach in but it was of no use, I've added more weight now but I knew I wasn't fat. I just didn't like me now.I hear a knock on the door and I turn
Lba 14I noticed that Rietta’s attention was no longer on me. I looked at her eyes and followed her gaze to see them in front of the packhouse. “What are you looking_,” I noticed her eyes fixed on a standing figure in front of the packhouse. Judging from the look on her face I am very sure it is her brother standing in front of the packhouse. I didn't say anything until she drives closer to the packhouse and confirm my suspicions. Lucian stands in front of the packhouse with a frown on his face. I got down from the car and so did Henrietta. We walked side by side to go and meet her brother. “You know he is angry right” She whispered to me.“Do I look like I care?” I asked her. She shrugged and walked closer to her brother. She hugged him happily like she did not just tell me he was angry with us.“Lucian!” She screams. He kissed her cheeks.“Where are you coming from?” He asked her. I ignore the both of them and started at everywhere both of them. I will need a house tour later. “I
Lba 15After waking up from my dream and repeating the strange words over and over thinking I would get an idea what it meant but I could not figure it out, this already deprived me of any kind of sleep I was expecting. What the hell does s ‘Notre origine a apposé un cachet sur cette commande’ mean. I'm so confused right now. Do I ask Henrietta or Lucian? Will they know what it means? Won’t they think I’m saying rubbish. Lucian, that was the only think my Bain and mind decided to pick out. My own annoying soulmate I am giving a week to prove to me how much he wants me. Will he really prove to me? And do I really have a choice? I tried switching up to seem bold and confident but it was just not me. I can’t pretend to be something or somebody that I am not. I knew I had to respect them whether I liked it or not but I won’t let Lucy walk over me because against my will I now have the responsibilities of a Luna on my shoulders.
