Myra’s point of view

I felt as the moment around me came to a screeching halt, the earth even stopped spinning, tension rose and poured into the air.

My expression paled, my eyes nearly bulged, my jaw rotten to the floor and I waited for any pinch, invisible or not, sharp enough to snap me out of this dream.

“Mate,” he called again, letting his voice go soft but still guttural enough to make me want to hear his voice talk to me all day and forever. Far from melodious, but irresistible.

Wait why do I find him amusing? Why do I like his voice? Why do I seem fascinated?

“Holy Moon!” I snapped back into reality, a mental calculation of what is happening right now slapped hard on my brain.

Quick reprise, I got mated to Logan and got rejected by him. And on the same day, not even up to an hour yet I got a second chance mate, I got mated to The Alpha King I have never ever seen before in my life. I got mated to a rumored beast.

“We’re mates!” I breathed out, l nearly fanned myself with how hot I’ve gotten. I stared around to see if any of this was real, but the reality stood still and right in my face, it’s just too hard for me to accept.

All the eyes pinned on me didn’t do me any better. I need air, I need to fucking breathe. I turned around, and dashed right out of the hall without looking back or add more to what I said.

I didn’t expect my eighteenth birthday to be this dramatic and full of twists.

I didn’t care what the Beta’s wife would say or do to me knowing I ran past her without giving feedback to her about her order. I just need air and some silence. Good goddess, a lot was choking me back there.

I got to the quiet balcony and ran straight into the mushy grass, the cold breeze whipped softly against my skin and peace found it way to my troubled heart.

My head turned up to face the sky, smitten by the beauty of the stars that adorned the empty wide space.

No moon lighted the sky yet, rather the stars were the bulb brightening the night at the moment. A stunning view to behold.

“What is happening?” I asked, connecting my thoughts with the sky and hoped it could transport them to the moon goddess.

“Myra!” A voice thundered from behind me, my gaze fell off the sky and straight down in exasperation.

How did she find me so quickly?

I haven’t even spend up to five minutes, or even four and she’s already here to pose as the villain she’s meant to be.

“Yes, Luna.” I turned around, not entirely awed to see her standing beside the beta’s wife who had her arms crossed on her chest.

“What did I hear about you doing?” She asked, daring me to confirm whatever was said to her as she began approaching me with threatening steps, her menacing glares boring gazes at me.

“I was feeling a little unwell in the stomach so I had to ran out to prevent making a mess inside the hall,” I came up with the first lie that shot through my mind.

“She’s lying, I don’t know what she saw or what she was thinking. But I’m very sure she disrespected one of our esteemed guests and decided to run out and away before we learn about it.”

My bowed head sprang up, narrowing an awed gaze at this bitter woman coming up with a lie much worse and believable than mine.

What exactly did they have against me?

I came here innocent and battered, they could have rejected me rather than take me in and treat me worse. Sometimes they make me feel bad for not getting eaten by those monsters and rather enduring all of these.

I stole not their husbands, or children, or wives, or clothes, or anything at all.

“Why exactly do you all hate me?” The question ripped out of my mouth before I could stop myself and worsen the situation. But then it’s already going to get worse judging by the monstrous look that worked its way up the Luna’s face the moment she heard the beta’s lie and believed it.

So I might as well get some words off my chest.

“I did nothing wrong to you all than exist. Nothing at all, yet you all in this little bitter pathetic pack loathes me. Was there a life we all lived in the past where the roles are reversed. I’m the spiteful Luna of you all and gave you guys hell?!” Words spouted uncontrollably out of my mouth, earning various of expressions from both the Luna and her devilish herald.

“If that wasn’t the case, then what exactly did I do wrong than seek protection and shelter? Imagine all you were doing to me getting done to yourself, or your loved ones. How exactly would you feel?”

Emotions seared from my speech, and I found myself letting the barrier holding me down from feeling shatter.

“I have no one!” I shouted in the Luna’s face. “My parents died, they were killed in front of me and those bastards were coming after me next!” Tears for the first time in a long time stroke down my cheeks in rumbles.

“You took me and protected me from them, only for you all to become my hell. What did I ever do wrong! What?!!!” I yelled out in pain, years of bottling it all up coming to bite me in the ass as I fell to my knees and crying it all out.

“How dare you talk like that to us, you ungrateful witch!”

I didn’t care about the slap jamming my head as I was pushed to the floor. Again no amount of physical pain can hurt me more than I’m going through already emotionally.

“I’m going to teach you an unforgettable lesson tonight. Get here and hold her up for me!” I heard her instructing the beta’s wife.

Soon I was held up, my knees still on the ground and body held upright by the beta’s wife.

The Luna sent a kick to my stomach, her strength causing the kick’s impact to create a concussion through my insides.

She sent another kick, doing it repeatedly and ignoring the blood that started to paint my lips.

“Learn how to-“ her words got stuck as she began gasping for air.

“You dare hurt my mate!” A cold icy voice penetrated the moment, his mere presence froze the air and darkened it with his aura.

The Luna gasped and craved for oxygen until he got to her. He grabbed her by her neck, “Your punishment is death.” And with that coldly stated, he twisted her neck, taking away her life so easily I felt premium chills as she fell lifeless to the floor.

He moved on to doing the same with the beta’s wife who tried to run away.

“Mom!” A familiar voice yelled, and a glance at the direction revealed an amused Logan running over to the lifeless body of his mother.

My eyes went to him, then to his dead mother’s body, before trailing my gaze towards him; The Alpha King, who was letting go of another dead body.

What just happened? The question rang in my head as my body dropped weak to the floor, eyes closing as I gave in to darkness and lost consciousness.
