The Bullied Wolfless Luna

Axl’s P.O.VI was headed back to my pack but the path spread unseeingly before me, dark-edged, blurry, and hazy.I could feel the rain pelting against my skin, soaking through every piece of clothing on me. Thunder boomed and usually would have startled me but nothing could drown out the echoes of his rejection. Kael rejected me. Kael…he didn’t want me. He severed the mate bond, leaving only a gaping hole where the seed of our bond was trying to grow.It hurt, oh it hurts so much. Tears streamed down my face, icy tendrils that traced the burn scars etched on my soul. “Weak,” he said. “Wolfless and gutless mutt,” he spat. His words were like a knife, cutting and slashing into my very existence.Years of yearning, of loving my childhood crush from afar all dissolved into nothingness.And this was HER fault. She paired me with someone who had always despised my very existence. She made me into this….this!Turning my face at the rain-drenched sky, I screamed, raw and broken. “Give me a wo

Axl’s P.O.V“Why are you picking at your food, Axl?” Elder brother Elliot asked from across the dining table, startling me so hard I almost fell off my chair had Ellis not helped me sit firmly with a hand on my shoulder.“Easy, baby sis.” Ellis reached over and ruffled my hair. “You look a little too thin and pale. Is everything okay?”“yeah.” Eric butted in. he was sat next to me, the plate of chicken and rice in front of him almost cleared up. “ever since the coronation night when you’d just disappeared, you’ve been acting weird. Do we need to call the doctor?”“It’s nothing. Maybe just a stomach bug.” I forced my hand to lift my fork to my mouth, gagging at the scent of chicken that filled my nostrils. Oh no. I was going to throw up. Before I could make a spectacle of myself, I scraped my chair back and bolted away from the dining hall while ignoring the looks my brothers and father gave me. Even though the blood rushed to my head and the dining hall swam before my eyes, I rushed a

Axl’s P.O.VThe ache in my fingertips sharpened to a harsh throb that mimicked a persistent migraine. It forced me to drop the knitting needle with a clatter onto the mahogany table beside the waiting area couch. The sound echoed in the near-empty shop as I felt like I'd aged decades overnight."Ugh, twenty-two going on eighty," Rising from my seat, I stretched, groaning like a woman two times my age. A breath pushed to my lips and I winced at the pops in my spine. Twenty-two, with hands achy enough to belong to an octogenarian. At this age, I shouldn't feel like I was auditioning for the role of a hunchbacked crone in some forgotten play.Just as the thought of returning to the endless loop of knitting patterns and yarn balls threatened to overwhelm me, strong, warm arms enveloped me. My body tensed instinctively for a millisecond before the familiar scent of cedar and mountain air flooded my senses. Alpha pheromones wrapped me in a bubble, emitting a sense of safe-love-comfort. A so

Axl’s P.O.VLast week, if someone had told me I was going to be on a flight to MoonWolf with my kids so early on a tuesday morning, I’d tell them to visit the doctor, but here we were at the airport, lugging our bags behind us as two out of the bodyguards Jerome hired went to grab the keys to the rented vehicle.“Welcome to MoonWolf!” Daniel’s excited voice broke into my thought and I hitched up my sunglasses and peered at my son. “Mommy see that!”He was jumping with frenzied excitement as he pointed at the billboard that read “Welcome to MoonWolf!”“Cool right?” I showed him an exasperated smile and the fatigue in my voice flew right over my son’s head. He continued chattering loudly as he took in my homeland.“Mommy, are you okay?” Lily tugged at my hand and when I looked at her, she was worriedly nibbling on her bottom lip. My daughter had always been the more thoughtful and perceptive one. The behavioral difference in my kids never failed to wow me at everytime.“Mommy’s just a l

AXLI catch a tear fall from his eyes but he sniffs them back immediately."That's great....that's impressive...I thought that you wouldn't.... you're amazing Axl," he said."Mommy.... who is this person? Is he also our uncle?" Lilly asked me as she studied Ellis."Yes. This is your second uncle, Ellis. Say hi to him" I urged her.Lilly nodded her head and said hello to Ellis. Ellis was almost in tears when she said that. Daniel followed suit and said hello too like his sister but he was a bit colder.Just then, it seemed like Ellis had remembered something."Oh yes...Axl....I saw some guards on my way here....they are not the palace guards....who are they? Did they come with you?" Ellis asked me.I nodded my head shyly. I really didn't need Jerome to make such a big deal and send the guards to follow me but I knew that he wouldn't have let me leave on my own if I didn't have the guards with me."What?! Do you really have your own guards? What have you been doing in the years that you
