Luna's Pov

"It is a beautiful day." That is the first thought that crossed my mind as I awakened to a choir of birds singing happily in the tree behind my window.

Hearing their melody seemed to be reassuring me that everything would be alright. Nevermind that I had another nightmare most of which I could not recall although I could not forget the terror that coursed through my veins. I stretched my limbs to a satisfying chorus of cackles from my muscles and rose on to my knees as I turned toward the window which I had either left open or opened sometime in the middle of the night. I placed my elbows on the windowsill and my mind wandered as I watched the small hummingbirds Twitter as they leapt from flower to flower. Of course they were happy. Who wouldn't be when they had that much resources at their disposal? I on the other hand could not say as much for myself.

I was still lost in thoughts when I heard a knock at the door. I got out of bed and waddled to the door. I rubbed my eyes as I pulled the door open just in time to see Jamil starting to walk away. He heard the door open and turned toward me, beaming an apologetic smile.

"I didn't mean to wake you." He muttered softly but I shook my head.

"You didn't. Don't tell me I have missed my chore schedule!" I muttered half-heartedly to which he flashed another slight smile.

"You don't need to worry about that. You don't look like you are ready for the tour." He muttered as he made a quick eye sweep.

I must have grown as red as a tomato as I looked down at my dress. I had slept in yesterday's dress and my hair had slept free last night as well. I couldn't see much but I kne without doubt that I looked horrible. As though to drive the point home, my skull chose that exact time to send me an itch.

"I should leave you. We will be out back when you are done." The poor man practically ran. Who could blame him? I had successfully traumatized him with my totally antisocial habits. "Oh well!" I shrugged realizing he had mentioned, 'we' as I made my way back into my room and set to work preparing for the day. Coming out of the room, I stared at the dirty clothing distastefully as I wondered who would try to pummel me into dust when I attempted to wash it. I pushed it out of the way as I walked to the wardrobe. It took a lot of effort because given that the clothes were knockoffs from someone or some people as the case may be, they weren't exactly fitted to my length with most either too big or too small for me. I wondered if some of them belonged to a child because I really could not imagine a lady that would be slimmer than I. Luckily, I managed to find an appropriate one before too long. A pink chiffon dress that was so long it was sweeping the earth behind me and that was not all. The cloth was a bit too large at the neckline, continually falling off my shoulders which was rather strange considering that the other parts of the dress fitted me perfectly.

Done, I admired myself in the mirror. Apart from the dress which got a frown from me, my other components such as my hair which I had made into a bun and my flat black sandals which again were hand me downs, were all good to go. I took one last look at the mirror and decided I had been through worse than a horrible dress.

Bursting out into the backyard, I could see Jamil, Blaire and Ulo sitted side by side on the wood benches. They seemed to be engrossed in a conversation of sorts, I noticed. I stopped in the doorway as I drifted between returning to my room and going out to break them up. The decision was soon made for me however as Jamil noticed me and whistled. This got Blaire's attention and the look convinced me that looks really could kill. I could feel my heart shrivelling up in my chest. The third person simply spared me a glance before returning his eyes to whatever game he was playing with his fingers.

With Blaire's venomous look keeping me in place, I watched as Jamil whispered something in her ears before he came over to me. "Nice dress you got there." He commented and I reddened knowing it was not a compliment.

"I had nothing else." My voice sounded alien even to me.

"I meant it. You don't have much experience with party dresses, do you?" He questioned and my brows furrowed as I wondered what he was talking about. He raised a hand toward my shoulder and paused in mid-air, "may I?" I had no idea what he was doing exactly but I nodded nonetheless after all, what was the worst that could happen?

My eyes followed his hands as he fiddled with the dress and soon enough, the dress was hanging off on one shoulder while the other side hugged my neck. It still wasn't my favorite type of dressing but this looked much better than what I had arranged myself. He stepped back and took a look at his work with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. I blushed again, ashamed that a man knew more about female dresses than I did but then again...

"Told you it was a nice dress. Let's go meet the others?" I wanted to tell him that I wasn't sure the others wanted me there but something told me he would not buy that so arm tucked in arm we made our way to the bench of the witch and the quiet one. Not my favorite sport.

  • 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
