I honestly don't know what I was expecting. For him to magically fall in love with me and make me his Luna?

I wasn't even sure which was worse. The rejection or the betrayal.

Was that even supposed to be compared?

Of course, the betrayal took the cake. My heart and mind still couldn't fathom the hurt I felt from Mia's betrayal. It was really hard to process.

I sighed, painfully as I forced my feet to take me further towards the royal kitchen. The pain I felt in my ribs from the impact was consistent and it made it hard to breathe properly. It felt like he had broken something when he kicked my ribs.

As I made my way to the kitchen, I was walking down a long corridor when someone suddenly pulled me to the side. I yelped from the sudden force and the pain it brought about and I almost screamed from shock when a warm hand wrapped around my mouth.

My eyes finally met his.

Beta Carlos.

I let out a breath of relief from the revelation that it was just him. Beta Carlos, tall, handsome, bright blue eyes, long blonde hair and pink plump lips. The man any girl would die to have. He was beautiful. Admittedly.

But, I was in no way attracted to him.

He was more of my big brother.

Surprising? Yes.

But contrary to what you may think, Carlos is the complete opposite of Lucas.

Carlos hated the way Lucas treated us slaves. He always tried to help as much as he could.

He would sometimes help me treat my wounds so they could heal properly but the scars of the ones he couldn't help with still remained and some wounds were just too big to heal right.

Not just me though, he would help anyone he could in any way he could.

But I had it the hardest. I was Lucas' personal venting material, punching bag, rage object and sex slave. To Lucas, I was not a living thing, I was an object of pleasure in more sickening ways than one.

But Carlos, he was a literal angel. Although, everything he did had to be behind Lucas' back. Alpha Lucas was a hard man to reason with, he always did things his own way. He would ask for Carlos' opinion on something out of formality but go through with his own decision, and completely discard Carlos.

He doesn't care about anything or anyone but he is still closest to Carlos.

His hands slipped off my mouth and gripped my shoulders.

"Are you okay?" He asked, his eyes swimming with worry.

I nodded.

"Yes" I lied through my teeth.

I was not okay. I felt like shit.

He narrowed his eyes at me and I sighed deeply, about to convince him when I wheezed in pain.

He closed his eyes in frustration.

"Goddess" he murmured before looking at me again.

"Kieran, you need to get treated. The impact on your rib was too much and with the way you're breathing, you could actually die" he explained and I hesitated as I looked down the corridor that led to the kitchen.

"I have a lot of duties that I -" I started to argue… well, explain but then, he cut me off.

"I'll be right back. Stay here" he said and hurriedly made his way down the corridor that led to the kitchen.

I sighed as I looked at his retreating figure. There was no stopping him.

I leaned against the wall behind me as I thought back to the events from earlier.

Mia.

What she did still shocked my very soul.

Mia and I go way back. While she has her entire family in this pack, I was a slave from another pack, the only one that survived Lucas' wrath.

We bonded when we were kids. The field that oversaw the lake was my spot first and one day, she walked there while I was relaxing. Then, she started a conversation with me and we just bonded really quickly. We've been friends for four years, so it made it quite hard for me to be able to fathom the betrayal.

Like, I just could not understand why she would do it.

My heart told me there must be a valid reason but my head told me there was none.

Carlos appeared again and grabbed my wrist.

"Okay, let's go" he said as he tried to pull me but I hesitated, planting my feet on the ground.

"But, I -" I argued again and he sighed.

"I've taken care of it. Now, come on, your health matters most" he said and I sighed stubbornly and finally gave in, allowing him to lead me to Greta's room.

I could not go to the royal clinic,I dared not.

Greta was the lead nurse but she loved Carlos like a son, so she always helped him with me and she had somehow grown to like me as well.

We snuck past guards until we finally reached her room and Carlos knocked on her door.

She opened up shortly after and let us in.

She groaned.

"What the fuck the Lucas do this time?" She asked and I was genuinely surprised she had not heard. Nothing flew past Greta but then again, it only just happened.

Carlos sighed.

"The main thing is she had a forceful impact to her ribs and now, she's breathing weirdly. Could you please just check?" He asked and she sighed.

"Lie down, dear" she said and I did as Carlos finally let go of my wrist.

"Turn around, Carlos" she said with a strict voice as she turned to him and he did, without hesitation.

I sighed in relief as she bent over me and slowly raised my dress up and examined me, gently poking my stomach in certain places, making me either groan or hiss in pain.

"Oh dear" she said as she stood up and walked to her table.

"What?! Is it bad?!" Carlos asked from where he stood still, facing the door.

Greta sighed as she rummaged through some items and brought some medicine out with a cup of water.

I sat up and adjusted my dress as she gave me the drugs to use and I did.

Then, she turned to Carlos and called him so he could turn to her.

He did and glanced at me with worry.

"We need to get a lot of ice. She needs proper treatment but since we wouldn't be able to get that, this is the most we can do" she explained and he nodded.

"Lots of ice. Got it" he said before he left her room.

Greta turned to look at me and smiled softly.

"You'll be okay" she said and I forced a small smile in return.

I was anything but okay.

  • Scarred Luna    Official First Times

    Kieran's POV“We should go on a date” Xander suddenly said on a random warm afternoon with my head on his bare chest and his arms wrapped around me.I propped my head up with my chin on his bare chest as I stared at him. “A date?” I asked and he nodded. “It would be our first date” he said and I raised a brow.“That's not true, we already had our first date” I said, in a matter of fact manner. “I mean, our first official date. We don't have to hide anymore, Kieran. Or sneak around, or anything of the sort. It's so different now.” he said and my eyes glazed over at the thought of how far we had come. “You're right…” I trailed off, before I continued, “So, where should we go?” I asked and he smiled, before cradling my head and turning us to the side, his hands draping around my waist. “That, my love, is a surprise,” he said as he kissed my nose out of the blue. My nose scrunched reflexively as a blush crept up my cheeks. “A surprise? How am I supposed to know what to wear?” I ask

  • Scarred Luna    Utter Shock

    Kieran's POVXander was beyond joyous to know that I had decided to accept his deal. I made it clear that it was strictly a business deal and we signed contracts and shook hands on it. And for the first time in a long while, I felt liberated. Truly. It felt like I was finally able to own something of mine. For now, I was going to keep working, just until serious preparations started. But not as much as I normally do.I had to reduce my workload in order to have time to follow up with the preparations. There was so much to do and I had a to-do list to guide me every step of the way. And of course, my goddess-sent angel, Xander. We had just decided on furniture to be used and we were on our way to the palace. I was free for the day. By now, we had chosen the perfect location for the salon. It was so perfect, I almost cried. Then we met with a decorator and I pitched what I had envisioned for the salon. How I wanted it to look, everything. I had high hopes for it. And as much as

  • Scarred Luna    Business Idea

    Kieran's POV I took an extra two days off from work and spent them with Xander stuck by my side. It was surprisingly easy and my boss didn't even complain much. Something about me deserving it. As for Alice's mother, she reached out to me. The salon was closed for now. I still had no idea what was going on with her but I was grateful for the break. Xander barely left me alone for a second. Not like I was complaining though. I loved it but I knew it was also because he was worried that either his mom or Sabrina would come for me again. But what he didn't know was that, if they did, I would be ready this time. He told me all I needed to hear. I decided I was going to fight for us. The thought alone was supposed to be scary but if anything, I felt empowered. I was tired of being pushed around when I didn't even choose this fate. The moon goddess placed me right where I was and I was going to fight to stay there. I was fated to be the Luna of the Death shade pack. I wasn't about

  • Scarred Luna    Show Them Fire

    “Mother, for the umpteenth time, she is my mate! Isn't that what you've always wanted?” I asked her as I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. “It's impossible that the moon goddess would send such riffraff your way after waiting for so long. She's a witch!” She argued and my jaw ticked in response. “I am not having this conversation with you any longer. She is my mate and you will respect that, mother.” I said. I was beginning to lose control and my wolf was tearing at the surface. She took a stubborn step forward. “And I am your mother, you will respect that. I know when something is not right for you. Sabrina is so perfect and she even proposed to you! Accept it.” she said. A growl slipped from me and she took a solid step backwards. “Kieran is my mate, not a witch or anything of the sort. She is my mate and the future Luna of this pack. I don't want to hear any other thing” I said as I glanced at the door. Her lips parted in shock. “Are you sending me out?” She as

  • Scarred Luna    The Confession

    How dare she? I had never felt this level of anger towards her before, I never even thought I would see the day.It took the grace of the moon goddess herself to stop me from having her head. We were close. Yes. But even she knew the gravity of what she did. Interrupting my announcement? I almost lost my shit but I somehow managed to control it. And then she goes ahead to what? Propose to me? I could feel the tension coming off Kieran in waves. I knew how everything must have made her feel and the thought of her even feeling any negative thing pissed me off even more. No matter what, I was going to make sure the pack gave her the respect she deserved. We stayed a little longer before I decided it was time for us to leave. I leaned closer to her and told her we should leave. The relief that flood her face made something shift in my chest. The fact that she felt so uncomfortable where she was supposed to be the most comfortable. It was her goddess given duty to be the Luna of the pa

  • Scarred Luna    The Announcement

    Kieran's POVMy entire body shook with rage. I rarely ever lost my temper, I could safely say that I have never felt this type of anger. The closest thing I have ever felt to this was the way I felt when Lucas killed everyone I ever loved. But still, that anger was different, it stemmed from pain. This one stemmed from irritation and envy. I hated the feeling so much. But still, somewhere deep down, there was that constant fear. Fear that he would actually accept her and leave me cold and alone. Just like magic, that thought alone sent chills down my spine and I fought the urge to shiver. When Sabrina boldly interrupted Xander at the risk of her neck, I did not know what to expect. I knew it would be something crazy but I definitely did not see this level of crazy coming.I looked around and my heart ached as I watched everyone happily clapping, with sounds of support. I was never going to win with these people. They wanted her, not me. And even if I had a chance, she quite literall
