The Alpha's Undercover Luna

My head is spinning. It is a struggle to keep my breathing in check and I'm sure as hell that I'm drowning. My chest burns, my body quakes in anxiety. Screaming would shake off the fear rising but I don't make a sound, my throat also burns, and more than anything, I mustn't startle Mark so I go through the excruciating pains in silence. This is what I must get used to, I must ignore all burns, pains, agony...nightmares.Many times, it is easy to push the gory images blurring my vision by focusing on the bird tattoo etched on my wrist, other times, the bird does nothing but aggravates the demons. Demons fighting for my soul, the only thing I have left. They feed on my fears and tears, leaving me a shaken mess. I would do anything to bury my memories.This time all I see is fire, an unending, unquenchable one, my skin heats up and the bird seems to be glowing. I know it's the demons but I'm having a hard time suppressing them. The fire burning is a clear depiction of the night I lost ev

I smile back at Mark as my heart fills up with ease, even though I know it will be for a while, and stand up to my feet. I stretch my hand forward to his to help him up and he takes my hand. I pull him up with a grunt and he laughs to himself. I arch my eyebrow in curiosity when he wouldn't tell me what's so funny so I decide to ask.“What's so funny? You were laughing to yourself just now” I ask him and he shakes his head in response.I quickly reach for his head and hold it between my arm and body, trapping him beneath my armpit and he cries out in disgust while I laugh hard at him.“Will you tell me or not?” I question again and he holds his hands up.“Fine, fine I'll tell you” he surrenders and I smile satisfyingly before I slowly let him go but hold onto his hand so he won't run away from me.“You grunted while helping me up so I wondered how someone stronger than me can't pull up a ten-year-old boy without grunting,” Mark says, mocking me and I laugh too.“You're weighty that's

CHAPTER SIXThere's a huge smile on Mark's face as we sit on the rooftop of the house Alpha Luggard gave to us and watch the sunset from afar.There's still some leftover chicken from the breakfast he had. He left it in the refrigerator when he got filled up and we decided to have it for dinner instead of the soggy noodles that they gave us.“I like the color of the sun, so pretty,” Mark says and I smile before I pat him on the head.“Your sister won her fight today again, aren't you going to tell me congratulations?” I ask him and he just pouts his lips with a grown etched on his face.“I don't know if I should congratulate you or if I should be scared,” he says and I can't help but wonder why he's scared.“What's wrong Mark? Why would you be scared?” I ask him and he looks at me, his eyes are filled with tears and I felt my insides twist with agony on seeing him like that. He shouldn't be crying, he should be smiling like he was just seconds ago.I quickly drag the sleeve of my shir

CHAPTER EIGHTMorning comes so quickly and it's like I never even slept in the first place. My eyes are heavy and my body feels like a log of wood was placed on me throughout the night.I sit up and look through the window beside my bed and the sun is almost out. I know it's my cue to get up and get ready so I head to the bathroom first to get my teeth cleaned.Once I'm done, I go to the washing machine and take out the clothes I left there yesterday. They're rinsed and all I need to do is get them dried so I leave for the small courtyard behind the house and hang them all on the dryer.Once I'm done, I go straight to Mark's room and he's still sound asleep. I feel sorry that I will have to interrupt his good morning sleep and drag him with me to see a bloody and violent fight but I have no choice in this. I'm a refugee in an enemy's pack and our lives are on the line.No matter how hard-headed I claim to be, I still have to do as Alpha Luggard wants.I go towards Mark and sit beside

CHAPTER ELEVENI feel the burn on my face and my eyelids twitch as I frown and struggle to open my eyes. With a struggle, I raise my eyelids a little bit and I catch the rays of the sunlight shining brightly upon me.My consciousness returns slowly and I become aware of where I am; I notice I'm not on the grass where I was before and where I'm laying now is hard vibrating.Vibrating! Why is it vibrating? I suddenly wonder and try to sit up but I can't. Then I pay more attention to my surroundings and I see I'm at the back of a truck, stuck and tied to a hook that totally prevents me from moving.I try pulling off the hook from where it's nailed but it burns my palm and I gasp from the pain but I try not to be loud so whoever is driving the truck won't know I'm awake. After a lot of struggling and grunting, I manage to sit up and I examine the hook, I touch it a little and it burns me again. This time, I hear the sizzling of my skin as it burns and I figure out immediately that it's s
