Chapter 3

Standing Strong. 

Pain, Humiliation, Helplessness. 

I felt all of this as I ran through the forest trying to ease up all this painful emotions in me, I've never been so lost and helpless in my life. It's like I've offended the moon goddess without knowing. I've  lost my title as luna, my  father, my  mother and now the only person I long for and need right now is bot here with me. 

"Malina, where are you and what are you doing, you've left us for more than two hours without saying anything anyways Allison has regained consciousness and okay" sophia spoke through the mind link sounding worried. 

Without a second thought, I dashed to the hospital hoping to see Kane. Getting there I was discouraged to not see Kane there. 

However I didn't have to wait too long before the devil showed her self. 

"Well if it isn't Luna Malina who was rejected, oh my bad, last I checked, the alpha, my alpha chose me, making me the Luna of this pack" she said with a sneaky smirk on her face. 

"Why are you  doing this?, what will you gain from watching a fellow wolf suffer?" I asked as tears rolled down my cheeks. 

I tried reasoning with her and it was a sick move, reasoning with the person that took my happiness away. At this point I wished my  parent  were still here, I would have never stoop so low to reason with the likes of her. 

"Why are you behaving like this Luna Malina, I know you think I came between you and your mate, but aren't you the one in the wrong here?, I mean I'm his fated mate, I'm suppose to be with him till death do us apart. You were  the one who came between us, the third person, the house wrecker" she said and crystal growled wanting to tear her apart as every word she uttered felt like a slap to my face. 

"How dare you speak to me in that manner?". I growled at her. 

"Why are you acting like this Luna Malina, you are scaring me, I'm sure my mate, the alpha won't like this and you might be humiliated In front of the pack".  she said in a sneaky tone and before I knew what was happening she pulled off the bandages on her wrist, making me and the others who were watching surprised. 

"Luna Malina why did you do this to me, I know you are angry but i wanted to die but it failed. Please for the sake of the alpha don't do this, killing me is better than this torture", Allison fell to her knees and hit her head on a chair before going down to the ground, making me look at her in horror. 

Why is she doing all this, is the wound that deep to make her go mad--

My thought were Interrupted when Kane opened the door with a loud bang. 

"Allison". Kane shouted aloud. 

"She did it" Allison accused me. 

Before I could defend my self before kane... 

"Malina McCall, you have crossed the line", Kane growled out. 

"Kane listen to me, I swear I didn't do it, I didnt touch her, she's clearly framing me and she's not who she proves to be, she acts like an omega but her aura is clearly different, just lis-

"Oh stop with your story, I knew you were planning something but I didn't know you would stop so low as to try to kill her Malina" Kane said with anger In his eyes. 

Grabbing my hands and dragging me to the hall where everyone has been for a while and throwing me in the middle, making me snarl and everyone moving away. 

"Your lowly Luna crossed the line today and attacked a fellow pack member" Kane announced to the pack members, "I'm sure you all know the punishment for attacking a fellow pack member". Kane said and I froze remembering the law. 

"GUARDS, surround her, so she doesn't escape and let this be a lesson to everyone, especially those who are close to me that you can't escape punishment when you cross the line". Kane said with his voice void of emotion. 

Punishment, what did I ever do to kane to make his heart this cold all of a sudden. 

"I just refuse to  reject my mate and I don't see why she's making a fuss out of it. Luna Malina tried to kill the alpha's mate today and according to the law you should be beheaded but since you are my wife, I will let you off with thirty strokes of whip, so you don't forget this day" Kane said with his eyes cold. 

This was my pack and everyone just accepted all the trash he was saying like they were under some kind of compulsion. 

"What do you mean by all you just said, 'she's making a fuss', she's clearly the rightful leader of this pack and you decided to go against the agreement like it was nothing, how are we sure it wasn't you and your family that conspired to steal that position". It was a familiar voice, it was Liam, Sophia's mate. 

"Liam, I don't care if you are very close to the McCall family but you talk to me in that tone again, I won't hesitate before I snap your neck and we both know you don't want to leave your pregnant wife without a mate". Kane threatened. 

"Liam that's enough from you".  I said to Liam. 

This man is someone I truly love and would have forgiven despite everything but he has crossed the line the moment he threatened Liam. 

Everyone looked at me expecting an answer to all that has been happening. 

"What do you think".  I asked ashley.

'You know me and you know we have never bowed to anyone, especially one who just betrayed our trust' Ashley spoke with pride. 

"I, Malina McCall, daughter of Alpha and Luna McCall has never bowed to anyone and will never bow to anyone especially when I never wronged them, make the strokes sixty". I said preparing myself for what is to come.

"Malina dont be too hard on your self, please" Sophia said through the mind link. 

"Don't worry about me Sophie, I promise to come out fine". I said, which was a lie, sixty strokes isn't something light even for my wolf. 

"It seems you dont know the gravity of what you have done today" Kane growled out, "Guards lace the whip with silver, so she will remember for eternity not to mess with me again" Kane said. 

Even my wolf won't heal easily from sixty strokes and now kane is lacing it with silver, if it doesn't kill me, it will definitely leave scars. 

"Start" Kane growled out. 

"One", the guard shouted, I growled, I never knew silver hurt this much. 

The countdown continued and I felt myself getting weaker and weaker, I could hear Sophia screaming in Liam's arm's and I wished I had a mate who would save me at this point. 

"Sixty", the guard announced and I just dropped to the ground, acting tough was never my strong suit but I had to prove that I was a worthy Luna. 

"Its about to rain, go throw her In the forest of doom by the time she gains consciousness, I'm pretty sure she would have learned her lesson". Kane said.
