Juliana's Pov:
Lucien has finally been crowned the Alpha of the bright moon pack, the pack was among the strongest around the whole of America. I dreamily stare at him, I can't believe I was mated to this handsome man. I thank the moon goddess for allowing Taylor to reject me and even banishing me out of his pack because if the incident hasn't taken place, I am freaky sure I won't be here today or even blessed to be Lucien's mate. I gave myself a thumbs up, my excitement has made me forget about heaven, my wolf's silence.
"Long live the Alpha….!!" We all cheered, in happiness, as we hailed Alpha Lucien, raising his hand, and we all bowed our heads submissively. He ordered us to rise and we complied instantly. The big bell rings signaling that it is already a full moon, the moon has come out and it is time for the newly elected Alpha to look for his mate. That's how this pack does the Alpha has to look for his mate first before other pack members follow suit. Even if he doesn't find his mate, other pack members will still be allowed to look for theirs, though it has never been heard that a newly elected Alpha didn't find his mate on the day of his coronation, on a full moon. It is an odd thing as that kind of thing hasn't been heard in this pack and I haven't seen or heard about this either.
"It is time for you to find your mate, Alpha Lucien, the one that will stand by your side and rule along with you,"
"It is time for you to find our luna but before then you have to choose your beta and gamma," the old beta said to him.
"My beta and gamma already know themselves," Alpha Lucien said as he gestured for his gamma and beta to climb the stage. The whole crowd cheered again as the new beta and gamma graced the stage in all their glory.
"Now is the time for us to meet our Luna," the old beta said as he motioned for Alpha Lucien to look for his mate.
My heart ran a different marathon as he smiled and stared around the crowd like he was looking for someone. My stomach swung in excitement as he started ascending the stage, the whole crowd was silent that you can hear a pin drop. I won't withhold the fact that I am nervous, I tighten my grip around the glass of wine that I was holding. The ladies there are all retouching their makeup in case the Alpha didn't find their mate, to fit them to willingly graced his bed for him tonight, some other ones are looking with hopeful eyes as for him to be their mate. I mentally rolled my eyes at them, solely looking at them made me angry. They are all power-hungry, it is obvious that they only want the title. There was a gapes between everyone as Lucien stopped in front of me, everyone was stunned. The ladies stare at me with anger, hatred, and envy. I gave Lucien a small smile which he returned to me.
He signaled for me to come forward, making me blush hard, my eyes twinkling as my face glowed with pure love and happiness. So finally my burden has been uplifted from me. I gently strolled toward him but the more I moved closer to him, the more his facial expression hardened.
"Gosh….." I murmured to myself, I am scared. I stopped but not too close to him. He finally smiled sheepishly at me before uttering the word that broke me into pieces.
"I Alpha Lucien….." He didn't get to finish as there was a murmuring arising from the crowd. They thought he was going to choose me as his Luna but I am having a second thought on this, I realize he wasn't smiling or looking at me with adoration or love anymore but with something like hatred or something else. I nervously bit my lips and awaited the outcome.
"Enough…," he said to the crowd as the noise died down immediately, he lifted his head and looked me dead in the eye, and continued his word.
"I Lucien Beth, the Alpha of the bright moon pack rejects you, Juliana Rudolf as my mate and Luna,"
"Haa! ……no!…," my scream echoed through the quiet hall, murmuring started arising again, as some were giving me a pitiful look while the majority of them were smirking at me. I thought I was loved and welcomed here but hell no I was not even one quarter loved.
"Not again!!...... Please not again moon goddess," I weep bitterly.
"Haa! …. I kept sobbing as I felt our mate bond breaking, the pain was too much, placing my hand on my heart with the other one holding a nearby chair to keep me steady. With blurry eyes, I glanced at Lucien who kept smirking deadly at me. The pain was too much, I didn't feel this much pain when I was rejected by my previous mates or was it because I have never loved them? This pain is too much for me to withstand.
"You love the surprise, don't you?" He asked me with a wicked smile across his lips, his hands were shoved inside his pants pocket.
"So this is the surprise that Juliet was talking about? This is the surprise that I waited for up till now?" I asked myself as another sob escaped my throat.
"Why…. Why? Lucien?" I asked him as I tried to keep myself steady. I stared at those eyes that always held love for me, those lips that always remind me of how beautiful and gifted I was. Hot tears were seen rushing down my face like freely opened tap water, my mouth tasted bitter as I cursed my existence. None of my mates wanted me, I always got rejected despite my beauty and loveliness. Not only did the moon goddess curse me, but she also honors me with mates that will frustrate and wreck my existence.
"No need for explanation, for you, know you are a curse and won't fit anywhere no matter how much you tried," he snarled at me causing me to shrink back in fear. No, he can't do this to me, he can't remind me of my past and stigma. He can't use what I told him against me.
"And I have already chosen my Luna," he announced, causing a stir among the crowds.
"Luna," I mumbled…
Juliana's Pov: "Luna," I muttered, with eyes full of tears and pain. I watch my best friend more as my sister walks through the crowd like a queen with a smile plastered on her face. This is the girl that I can kill and even die for, the crowds make space for her as she strolls toward us. Reaching in front of Lucien, they twisted their fingers together as she spared no glance at me. "I am truly honored to announce to you, Juliet smith as my chosen mate and future Luna," Lucien declared openly with a sheepish smile that I have never seen. The crowd raved and screamed in happiness and surprise, I was left there like the cause that I was called. "And I am truly honored to be your luna unlike some pathetic fools," she spits mockery at me. With tingling tears, I stared at her. "What a surprise…." She laughed out loud as she rubbernecked at my shocked face. My heart felt heavy as my throat burned with bitterness, I felt betrayed and unloved. Their laughter kept echoing the whole place
Juliana's Pov: I opened my eyes, but couldn't adjust to the surroundings since everywhere was dark. I tried moving my head but it smashed into the wall. "Ouch…." I winch in pain, I attempt to find the exit but my body burns. "Haaa!!........" I wailed in pain, I struggled to move again but the pain shot into my body again. "Hey Heaven, what is happening?" I asked my wolf with a worried expression. "Heaven!!!!...." I mentally screamed her name, since her silence is killing me. I need to know what is happening because I can't recall anything that has happened or why I was here instead of in my room. "We were trapped," Heaven half-whispered to me, she sounds weak. "Trapped how?" I asked her more confused. "We were trapped in the basement," she answered. "Trapped in a basement….but how? and I can't f*****g move my hands or body," I squealed with a confused look. "We were trapped with a silver chain," she replied with a faint voice. She sounds weak, so we were trapped, and not only
Third person's Pov: Pulling Juliana down the hallway by the pack's strongest warrior wasn't easy as people passing there either lay curses on her or spit on her face. Tears were flowing down Juliana's cheek as she battled to keep her emotions in check, her heart was bleeding as everything that the pack members spit and said panged her heart. She hates her existence, she so much wished that the silver chain could kill her, as the heavy chain was whipped on her back piercing through her skin when pulling out some flesh. "Help!!!!......" Juliana shouted with trembling lips. Blood rushed out of the area as the chain hit on her body with her skin being ripped. The people passing laugh and mortify her by throwing anything that reaches their hand at her and calling her all sorts of names. Numerous curses were being laid on her, her heart twisted at each passing second. She was humiliated that she felt undesirable and despicable. She was dragged to the penitentiary by the two huge men as th
Lucien's Pov:I was snapped back to reality as I got the shock of my life. I saw the event unfold on my face with a confused and horrified look. I stared at Juliana break free from the chain, her wolf has surfaced and I won't allow the event of the other day to repeat itself. Nobody has ever broken free from a silver chain before in the whole history of the werewolves realm. I pushed my wheelchair and fling a huge silver chain around her. She growled as she angrily shook herself with her veins popping out, her wolf's teeth elongated showing her canines. I signaled for my warriors and everyone in the room to help me bring her down. Noticing that we couldn't bring her down no matter how much we tried, I quickly mind-link my beta, gamma, and some of my top warriors who rushed unexpectedly before I could cut the mind-link."Here we are, Alpha…." My beta promptly announced as they bashed into the penitentiary slaying the door forcefully to the wall. "Hurry up, Now!!…..," I rapidly screame
Juliana's Pov: Light illuminates through a small opening from the wall, brightening the once-dark room. I slowly lifted my throbbing head, my eyes felt heavy as I stared at the walls. Breathing tiredly I swallow the lump in my throat, the silver burns my skin as my whole body hurts me. A cool breeze is entering the room through the opening, I shivered as I freaky feel cold. Standing almost exposed with your whole body chained with a silver band as the cool breeze blows on your bare skin wasn't easy, I bit my mouth to stop the sob from coming out. From the conversation the warriors assigned to torture were having, I heard that tomorrow was my execution. I will be beheaded tomorrow, it frightens me to the core, and my whole hair looks tattered. My body is drenched with blood both dry and fresh. My journey in this life hasn't been easy, I hate this life that I was given, just the way that I despise this evil power. "Is the moon goddess punishing me because of my mother's adulterous beh
Third person's Pov: How dare you!!....." Juliet madly yelled at Juliana as she angrily strode toward her. "What is going on here?…. Don't you dare lie to me, I saw everything," Juliet spit when glaring at both Lucien and Juliana."Since you saw everything…. No need for explanation" Lucien coldly hissed with a hardened expression."How dare you!!!....." Juliet cried out."How dare you cheat on me with this cursed creature," she snarled. "How does it feel…." Juliana teasingly mumbled to furious Juliet."Haa!!...." Juliana cried as her cheeks collided with a thunderous slap. "You cursed being, you have no right to talk to me," Juliet sneered as she kept glaring at Juliana, her once best friend more like a sister. The girl she has envied and dispersed so much, that she hates it that she gets everything she ever wants despite her being foul-mouthed. Men drool at her when she has to put in a lot of effort before any guy has to approach her, Lucien has been her crush since her childhood
Juliana's Pov:"Move out of the way !!....." One of the warriors shouted as they dragged me out of the penitentiary to the execution ground. Today is the day that I will be wiped out of this planet, the day that I have drained seeing has finally come. Though I so much wish for death, being killed by my best friend and mate is something that pierces my soul. It bleeds my heart to know that I will be killed under the sword of my mate. "Move out of the way!!......" The warrior kept shouting, my body was tied with chains as I was being dragged with heavy chains curled in my neck. People passing by kept spitting at me when some did kick me. The gravel, stones, and some pieces of metals on the ground kept piercing through my skin, blood was seen zooming out of my body."Haa…..haa!!" I cried out in pain."Please…… please," I kept crying."Shut up!!......" One of the guards yelled at me as he kicked me hard in the stomach."Haa!!!……." I screamed in pain as blood splits out of my lips."You d
Third person's pov: "Kill!!........" kill!!........The word kept echoing in the whole place by the pack members as they anticipated Juliana's death. Taking a sharp breath, Juliana tried to fight back her tears. The sharpness of the blade pierced deeper and deeper into her delicate skin. She knew that the pain is going to leave a lasting scar on her neck, she looks unstable and vulnerable. Slowly lifting her head she noticed Lucien trying to raise the sword after gradually nodding to the angry crowd that it is now time.Smirking devilishly, Lucien puts forward the sword to cut off her head when a massive thunderstorm was quickly heard as the whole place got shaken, and enormous lighting was striking the ground as everyone tried hiding for safety. Lucien was instantly taken inside for his safety, a mild wind was seen lifting Juliana to the air as the lighting collided with the silver chain that held her hands and feet, it was breaking free as Juliana was tossed to the other side of
