Chapter 2 – The Moon Wolf

“You have a lot to do today, we’re crowning our new Alpha and Luna today and everything has to be fully prepared for that”, he barked at me. I nodded my head meekly while looking at the floor.

He held my chin roughly and made me look him in the eye, “You should be grateful I came to get you and not Grayson. You were trying to seduce whoever came to get you? Nob*dy will want you,your b*dy is not even attractive. You’d be good to relieve stress though, pathetic little b*tch”, he spoke as he groped me.

I felt disgusted and wanted to crawl out of my skin as he touched me. Tears poured down my face but I dare not talk back or refuse or I’d be in more trouble.

“Be out in 5 minutes b*tch, or there will be consequences”, he barked at me and left me after slapping me one more time.

The torture and pain never stop. We all used to be friends then they suddenly turned on me. I wish it will stop, I haven’t done anything wrong.

I knew I had to get up before the punishment gets worse, I always get up early, I must have been so drained from what happened yesterday. I got up, went to the basin at the corner of my room and washed my face and wore my d*rty gown like that.

I packed my once platinum blonde hair that’s now d*rty brown due to the dirt that has accumulated in it. I’ve never enjoyed basic amenities since I became an omega, no new clothes, I only take my bath once in a week and barely have enough water to wash my hair or even look remotely good. I only eat leftover from the pack, sometimes I’m not even allowed to eat. This is not a life I’d wish on anyone, even the poorest in the pack don’t live like this.

I limped to the kitchen, doing my best to avoid pack members to avoid any additional punishment or insult that morning. As my luck would have it, I met the current Luna, Grayson’s mom and Freya in the kitchen discussing clothes and fashion.

Immediately I entered the pack kitchen, Luna Natalie sprung on me and barked out orders. Freya looked like she was enjoying my pain as Luna listed out what I’m supposed to do before her son’s coronation tonight.

I nodded my head and she left the kitchen with Freya behind her, not before she “accidentally” spilled the drink she was having before I came in and broke the the glass, leaving it for me to clean.

I sighed in relief as they both left without touching me, they must be in a good mood today. I rushed to wash the plates used by the pack members that morning. My stomach grumbled as I thought about food, I had not eaten anything since yesterday afternoon and I probably won’t be getting food till evening. I sighed and carried on with my job.

The pack’s ballroom was next, I had to make it squeaky clean or get a beating from Luna Natalie. I got to work cleaning it and was done by noon. I had to clean the whole pack house too and could barely stand by the time I was done. I hate my life.

I haven’t heard from Jasmine all day, she was probably still recovering from yesterday night. The wolf feels it most when their partner have S** with another she-wolf. I felt so sad for her and that only fueled my determination to break free from this cruel pack that has deemed me worthless.

Hearing voices, I snapped out of my thoughts and tried to make myself small on instinct. It was probably time for lunch, my stomach grumbled again even though I know I won’t be getting any food till nighttime. I felt him before I saw him and went still as I felt him move closer to me, I dare not look up at him if I do not want more problems to myself.

He lifted my chin and looked into my eyes, he smirked evilly at me and I felt my ears ringing before I could even process what was going on. He slapped me. I did not even do anything wrong and he slapped me, I heard people around me laughing mockingly.

“You dare to be in the same room as me and look me in the eye,slut? What have I told you about disrespect and the consequences that comes with it”, he growled at me angrily and gripped my chin to the point that it started hurting.

Tears streamed down my face and Jasmine whimpered lowly in my head, her mate was hurting her and she could not even communicate with his wolf side because she had to stay hidden for our safety. She receded to the back of my mind, leaving me to face this monster alone. I guess I’m on my own now.

“I need to teach you a lesson that will permanently put you in your place, a lesson I should have taught you sooner. You’d be ready for me tonight, I’d take you however I want and you’ll take it like the whore that you are. Make sure you clean up nice after my coronation tonight, I’ll deal with you and others can have their turn”, he said and loud cheers went off in the room.

I could not believe my ears. He was going to rape me, he was going to rape me, they’re horrible people but no one ever dared to take my innocence . I’ve lost everything, I can’t lose the only dignity I have left.

I felt disgusted and wanted to puke out my insides, how can anyone be so vile and cruel? He said he wanted to rape me and everyone cheered him on? Freya was in the room when he said it and she had no problems with that?. Just great.

He said right after their coronation, I need to get as far away from here as I can, I can’t go on like this.This pack is fucked up and I refuse to live like this anymore, I’d rather go rogue than live in a pack that has no mercy for who was once a part of them They shortly left and I fell to the ground, I was still in shock of what I saw and heard. He was going to break me completely and then give me to his friends to humiliate, I won’t wait for such to happen.

I’ll protect you, Jas. I’ll protect us, I’ll not let anyb*dy taint you, I’d rather die running, were my thoughts as I finally found the strength to leave my position in the floor and made my way to the basement.

Tonight. I have to leave tonight!

Lola’s POV

Tonight. I have to leave tonight.

I sat down on my stone bed thinking about my life so far. Jasmine has been holding on for too long, I can’t let her go through this anymore.

I used to be almost everyone’s favorite in the pack until Mom and Dad passed. I don’t know what came over Aunt Natalie and Uncle Andrew, Grayson’s mom and dad. It’s like they’ve been waiting for the opportunity to make me worthless. They used to be very nice until they were not.

People that were not in the pack before that incident did not know I am the daughter of the last Alpha and Luna. Everyb*dy in the wolf world thought I was dead, that’s what I heard.

I can’t get raped, I can’t get my innocence taken away from me and by that vile bastard nonetheless. I have to come up with a plan,I don’t care if I die running, I have to leave this fucked up pack before I am humiliated.

I have to eat this afternoon, I’ll need the energy if I’m going to be running. That bastard is definitely going to send people after me so I have to be in my wolf form.

“Jasmine, you there?”, I mindlinked Jas and she whimpered in response in my head. “I’ll need you tonight, girl. I’ll need you if I’m ever going to make it out alive. I can’t let him do this to me, to us, we have to fight our way out of this bondage. We waited because we thought we might find love but it’s over now, Jas, we need to run”, I said pleadingly to Jasmine.

“I don’t know if I can do it for us, Lola. What if we get killed on sight because of my fur color? What if he catches up to us? What if we don’t make it alive? I’m so weak and I’ve only ever shifted once, I don’t want to let you down Lola”, Jasmine said weakly in my head and fresh tears ran down my cheeks. We don’t deserve any of this .

“Jas, we need to try , girl. There’s a full moon out tonight, I heard we get stronger when there’s a full moon, maybe that will give us strength to propel forward but we can’t stay here tonight. We might find help in another pack, anything but here Jasmine”, I said to her.
