The Unclaimed Luna

BRIELLE's POVThere are some events that happen to you in life that change the entire momentum of how your life goes. Today seemed to hold such a day. After spending all my life feeling like some low life that didn’t even deserve to be breathing, yesterday was starting to seem like I was finally being compensated for those days.I hurriedly pushed open the curtains, allowing the bright light to bring the pink themed room I shared with Ava, my best friend to life. She was still asleep and even though the sun rays were pretty harsh this morning, it did not seem to affect her. For a wolf shifter who should always be on alert, Ava was a deep sleeper.I laughed at her weird sleeping position and walked into the bathroom for a shower. Today was a good day and nothing was going to spoil it for me. I hoped.Once done, I picked out a towel from the rack and watched my reflection in the mirror shake down the wavy jet black mane. Then I wrapped it up in the towel and wrapped my torso in another.

BRIELLE’s POVAs much as I wanted to stay till I could see my best friend who was now my sister and papa, the guards by the gate didn’t have the same thoughts and eventually, I had left there.For the past ten years, I had thought that life couldn’t get as bad as it was, I was the abandoned and hated child in the pack.From being the alpha’s daughter and the little princess everyone cared about to being discarded and taken to live with omegas had been a huge shift for me.Now, this was even worse. I was alone and away from everything I had ever known.I wrapped my arms around my body tighter as the night cold came in another wave. Even with my natural body warmth, I couldn’t handle the chill that came from being alone in the woods.“Daddyy…” I mumbled softly, my voice easy to hear in this quiet night. I had rushed packed and didn’t even consider thick clothing. I had also not packed anything to eat in my bag and so I could only take out my bag and put on three more layers of clothing

BRIELLE's POVThe ride to Pierxly Corporations was a slow and somber one. I wished it would be slower as I felt like I was nearing a slaughter house.Miss Daren ignored me completely, her perfectly manicured fingers typing away on her phone. I wondered what her role was in the company. Manager? Senior staff? The CEO’s secretary?I wondered what the CEO was like. While I researched on the company I had hardly found any pictures of him, only a few shots of his hands, legs, beard- weird. It was like they were intentionally hiding him away from the public eye. What I did not understand was why. I had not bothered to make further research as I felt the type of work I applied for would not require me meeting the CEO. But here I was.“H…how is he like?” I squeaked out, wondering if it was okay to ask such questions.“Who?” Miss Daren dragged her eyes away from her phone to me.“The CEO,” I said.She shrugged. “He is alright. Why?”Because I am about to shit my pants from anxiety, was what I

BRIELLE's POV I stepped into Peirxly feeling like I had the world at my fingertips. I was sure I did. After staying up the whole night, I had finally seen a part of the contract that proved that I was going to be free from Huxley and although some rational part of me was reminding me of how we had no source of income or way to survive the next month, I was certain that settling to see Huxley’s face and being on his payroll was most likely going to be my worst nightmare. “Brielle Levine, I have an appointment for 8am,” I told the receptionist that made Stacie look tacky in comparison. “Top floor, the secretary there would attend to you,” she said curtly with a polite nod and I went in the same direction that I had passed yesterday. The elevator had just two people inside and they gave me a cursory nod as I entered. Like yesterday, I was still as anxious as ever, however, this time, I could spare some more effort into looking around. Huxley’s floor was large and pratically empty

Brielle’s POV I had spent all weekend preparing my mind for my resumption at Peirxly and that included an ice cream date with Anya and getting some new dresses for my wardrobe. Somehow, the way Huxley had looked at me the other day made me want to look better, to prove that I was doing a lot better than when I had been in that hellhole. A deep sigh and a step were all it took to have the wide glass doors of Pierxly open as the sensor picked me approaching. I sent a nod to the receptionist while a part of me wondered what time she resumed work considering that it was only a little past 7 am. From the email I had gotten this weekend, I was to report to the Human Resource department to meet with my team, thankfully, the sender had been kind enough to mention that they were on the third floor of the building. If by some stroke of luck, I could do without seeing Huxley for the next year as Zora had said, then working here was going to be a good experience. “Good morning Miss Levi
