Luna's Pov

I opened my eyes feeling rather groggy and achy. I yawned lazily, stretching my limbs and was rewarding with the satisfying crunch of muscles rearranging themselves. I squinted, taking a look at the room where I had spent the night with the aid of daylight that was streaking in through the window. I nearly fell off my perch as I realized that this was not my room. Looking around, I noticed Indrik still on the bed, snoring softly as he slept. His hair spread all over. The bed, his eyes, his mouth. I smiled as I brushed the hair away from his face. I did a doubletake as my eyes fell on his face. Like I had done so many times while he was unconscious, I slipped into the stool on which I had spent the night and propping my cheeks on my hands, admired his face. Despite the numerous wounds, he always managed to look so spectacular when he was asleep. With his sad eyes closed and his facial muscles robbed by sleep of their crankiness, he looked like an angel in his sleep. I remained like that for a while, losing all sense of time until he mumbled something in his sleep, turning from lying on his back to his right side so his face was directly in mine. I jumped, afraid that he would catch me staring. That, would be very embarrassing and I preferred to avoid embarrassing. He continued to sleep, luckily.

Sparing him one last glance, I turned away from him and left the room. In my room, I took a hurried bath and slipped into a simple white dress. Satisfied, I picked up a basket in the corner of the room and tucked it under my arm with the aim of finishing the errand before my master would wake up and start calling for me.

Outside, I realized that the morning was still very early with the sun still struggling with the clouds. Birds twittered as they danced, enjoying the beauty of a new day. Most of the wolves seemed to still be asleep though as I did not run into anyone except the guards at the gate as I made my way out.

The journey to the pack's doctor who was situated in the center of the pack to ensure easy access to everyone was as always very tiring. I thought about Lea and found it regrettable that I had not gotten to ride her last night. This reminded me of Jamil who I had not seen since we had left him with Leon and his dogs. I wondered if he was okay.

I was just in time to catch the doctor opening the door to the medicine store. "Good morning, elder Matthew!" I greeted.

He turned exposing his brilliant white teeth in a smile. Over the past few days, I had seen him more than I had seen most other people with him coming to check on Indrik and myself coming to get his drugs. He smiled back at me. He was about the only other person who showed me an ounce of kindness in this place. As usual, he was wearing his white robe and shoes which I considered strange considering that he always had to work with things that could destroy white in no time. Things like blood, vomit, sweat, and a crowd of other things that I preferred not to think about. He wasn't exactly tall but he was the kind of person who commanded respect without even trying which probably had something to do with his warm brown eyes that seemed to say, "you can trust me. I won't hurt you except for, well, injections. And those won't even hurt."

He pulled the iron doors open and hobbled in. As always, I was hit in the face by the strong scent of herbs, dried, drying and fresh. Then there were the liquid ones with scents that was not as easy to place. Like the first time I had come here, the sour-sweet mixture of smells made me feel giddy. I wondered how the doctor managed to survive spending every day here.

I followed the doctor to his table at the far end of the room while taking in the rows of vials that lined the stalls. Once the doctor had settled in, he started to get me the drugs I had come for.

"How is your master doing?" The doctor questioned as he browsed through the stalls.

"He was doing well until yesterday when a fight found him."

The doctor paused as he spared me a glance. "Didn't I mention that he get a lot of rest?"

I sighed, not knowing how to tell him that it was Indrik's own brother that had almost beaten him to death. I turned away as something caught my eyes two rows away. Walking toward it, I soon realized why it was so strange. In a place where all the vials contained either brown or blue liquid, this one contained a green one. Looking at it, I could tell that it had been left there for a while. So long that dust had thickly coated it but somehow, it still seemed to be boiling.

Picking it up, I approached the doctor and asked him about it. His eyes widened, confirming my suspicion that it was indeed strange.

"Where did you find that? I thought I had disposed of it. That is an extract of Voldemort root. It is a poison that kills a human within an hour so, I would advise that you return it. I wouldn't want to be the reason why your master loses a maid."

I smiled faintly as I returned to the stall. By the time I returned, the doctor had finished packing and handed the basket to me.

"Will the lad require a check up?" He asked referring to the scrape I had mentioned.

I shook my head. He won't be needing any more check-ups. Not right now at least.

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    Giving Up!

    Luna"What have you done? How could you let this happen? The greatest evil has been born! Pain, death, destruction like never before has just been unleashed because of you. The world will never be the same. You shall atone for your sins. Begone! And I shall never see your face again nor you, mine until you have made everything right." I shuddered at the memory. My memories from the...that time were becoming fuzzier the longer time passed but somehow, that memory never faded. I could not remember the face of the person who had spoken. Not even where the person had spoken but I could never forget the words nor the panic, pain and sorrow that had filled me and even now still pulsed in every single vein in my body. Looking down at Indrik as he stabbed at his food, I wondered if all that was happening was indeed my fault. Maybe I really deserved to be here. Even worse, I wondered if I did not deserve to be here, being the recipient of his gratitude like I was some saviour when I was infa

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    Told A Slave

    Indrik"You would never be more than a bottom feeder." The words would not stop ringing in my ears, burning into my brain with searing heat. I clasped my hands over my ears and screamed, tears gushing down my face. A group of people walked past me staring at me like I was crazy but I couldn't care any less. What was I thinking? I would never be more than a disappointment, an Alpha's son who was born without a wolf. To think that I had thought that getting a master and having her unlock my wolf would change my fate. I laughed drily. Just how much more stupid could I be? I would never be more than a failure however hard I tried. Another group of people walked past me and though my senses were too clouded for me to see their expressions, I knew instinctively that they were sniggering at the miserable me. I had left the palace behind and was now wandering through the meandering streets of the pack, hardly aware of where I was going. Every so often, I ran into someone who hissed at me to

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    A Bottom Feeder

    IndrikBeta Green fixed me with a cold stare that caused my smiles to wilt as I was consumed with a premonition that he was about to deliver a very bad news. "What did you just say?" He asked the question like I had just suggested that we pull down the palace and build a cattle shed in its place. I wasn't going to be so easily discouraged though. It had taken me so much time, effort and sacrifices to get here. I wasn't about to be forced to give up by a tone, however cold it might sound. "I said...""I know what you said!" He snapped in irritation. "I was hoping you wouldn't repeat it so I wouldn't have had to tell you this but it is obvious that you are still so young and naive. Perhaps, I ought to enlighten you."My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach as every muscle in my body strained to run, to avoid the verdict he was about to pass. But at the end, I had to stop and listen to what he had to say even if everything within me warned me that I would not like it. He smiled warm

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    Hope

    IndrikMessage or not, I decided that my thoughts were going to drive me crazy if I didn't snap out of them so I did just that. I pushed away from the window and got out of bed. Looking around the slowly lightening room, I was rather disappointed to find that Luna was not in the room. I had been hoping to be able to have a word or two with her. I decided I couldn't wait and made my way to her room only to get the same result. The unmade state of her bed hinted that she had left the room in a hurry, (what else was new?) which meant I couldn't expect to see her for a while.I paced around for a while, the memories still haunting me until I finally got the ingenious idea to go to an old friend of mine. Now, when I mention friend, you might think I am referring to a childhood friend that I had forgotten about but no, I can count the number of friends I have on a single hand. By friend, I meant the library, one of the many places I used to visit in a bid to both lose and discover myself in

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    What Will You Do?

    IndrikDo powers cause nightmares? I highly doubt that or Blaire would have spent every other day screaming from her sleep. Or perhaps, they were just signs of my body getting used to its new heightened senses. Again, I doubted that. Those dreams had looked and felt very real. Like something that had happened, or worse, something that was about to happen. I placed an arm under my jaw as I tried to recall my dream. The mere thought of relieving that nightmare scared the marrows out of me but I decided that I had to face it to know what the problem really was. In my dream, I had seemed to be watching the pack from the hill that was just behind the royal training grounds. Once upon a time, that had been my favorite spot for hanging out. In my dream, or was it a nightmare? The scenery had rolled out before me in the same way it had the last time I had been there. There had been the palace to the one side closed off with high enough walls as to prevent me from seeing past them. Then ther

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    Most Important

    VeronicaPain did not seem like the right term for what I was feeling right now. Every single bone in my upper body seemed to have been pummelled to powder leaving me paralyzed. Yet, hearing Indrik's voice energized me as I tried my best to open my eyes. My body protested against the effort as my head started to pound. I shut my eyes again before I could focus on the person standing above me. Everywhere seemed to have gone pitch dark. I could have sworn that there was still some light when that bitch had shoved me to my back. "Oh, Indrik! Look at what she has done to me. You have to make her pay." I whimpered as I tried to open my eyes again without success. My eyes seemed to have filled up with my own blood which was not a very fun experience. "The nerve of this bitch. Let me go. I am not done with her." That was Blaire's voice. I wondered if Indrik was the one holding her back. No, that was wrong. He should be helping me, not her. For the umpteenth time, I tried to open my eyes ag
