Iris POV
"Hilary!!!" I yelled and I was ready to pounce on her, then the guards came between us, forcing me to come to a halt."Whoa!" She clapped her hands. "Bravo, just maybe, you have forgotten, I am your Luna.""Oh please, spare me the details, a true Luna doesn't have to remind anyone that she is a Luna, a Luna earns respect not fear." "Are saying my subject only fears me?" She grabbed my hair, pulling me by the hair it was painful but I couldn't do anything, those two guards had held me in place, and she slapped my other hand across my face. "Hilary, let go of her." Helga hurried to us and pulled her hand off me. Will you stop it? "Helga, you are getting on my nerves and you will not like me.""What will you do to me?" Helga yelled at her. "I will throw you out of the pack." Hilary speaks but Helga bursts into laughter. "Maybe, you are forgetting something, my grandfather is among the alpha markers, and my dad is the gamma, I could speak to him and tell him that you are not fit to be a Luna and you should know, Damien is a desperate power hunger man, he will not think twice to reject you and if you think we don't know, what you, your father and Damien, along with his father did to the late alpha, then you are mistaking, I will...""Shut up, what do you want?" Hilary yelled at Helga, she was biting more than she could chew. "I want to speak to my friend.""Do that fast, I give you five minutes, so you leave." Hilary turned, she looked at the guards. "Give them space but don't let her leave your sight.' Helga signed as she watched me fall to the floor, as soon as those guards let go of me. "Are you just going to stand there and look at me?" My voice came out when Helga didn't say anything. "Sorry, I just don't know what to say.""Then go, don't pity me, I could do this, I just need time, time to fix all my mess, with time, I will get back all they take from me, I just need to meet up with some of my father's loyal men.'"Iris, at that time, you will not be able to get it here and no one will help you here.""What about your father, he is a gamma, and I am sure he could help me, and with your grandfather among the kingmaker...""Iris, it's not easy, with that letter from your father, there is nothing, anyone can do, and Damien and his father, are killing anyone that doesn't support them.""What?" I yelled, hearing the news, Helga ran her hand on my shoulder. "Come with me, my mate Is the alpha of the moonlight pack, he is a good man and my father is also coming with me, we are leaving this pack.""I am not leaving, I am not a coward." I said as I turned from her."And even you used to say that, a living chicken is better than a dead lion, which would you rather be, a dead lion or a living chicken?" She pulled my hand, I knew she meant well, she wanted to help me, she cared about me, and she had always been a true friend but at this point, I didn't want friends, I was on my own, I had no one and I am not going to leave this place, I am going to look for ways to get back the pack and avenge the death of my parents, it will take me time but I know I will fix all these. "Iris...""Stop Helga, don't try to convince me, you should know that I will always say the same thing.""I will come back, I will be leaving by noon, just think about it.""Don't come back, just go have your happy life." Before she could even reply the guards came and escorted her out, while the head maid Esther took me to my morning chores, it was different, I was going to feed the horses and then milk the cow, how could Hilary, did she really want to punish me, I have no idea of how to milk the cow, I haven't done any of these before, she would have just given me, the house chores like other maid in the castle. The first thing I thought of doing was feeding the horse, I fed it, fresh apples, and although I was a bit scared it was not difficult as I thought it will be, and the horse was friendly, I filled the horse tough with fresh water, so they could drink and then I move to the cow, that was the scariest one but it seems the moon goddess decided to help me, that after wearing my glove, I approach him slowly and it wasn't aggressive, after taming it, I tie the cow to a stable fixture. Make sure the cow is wearing a halter, and then I squat, washing his teat before placing a bucket under it and squeezing gently its teat, trying to prevent the once I succeeded pressing out not going back until I get the quantity of milk I wanted.Although it took a longer time but then I did it, and when Esther returned, she was shocked to see that I was able to do it. "Whoa, you did it, the moon goddess must really love you." She said I don't know why she said that but I don't think she is right, if the moon goddess loved me, she would not have let my fate be like this. I hoped that I could rest but it was the other way round, I was sent to do other chores, yet again I was able to do it. "This is perfect, what are you?" One of the maids asked. "A slave!!!" She tittered at my words but that is the truth, I am a slave. "My name is Susan, I heard that you are the adopted daughter of the late alpha and that he didn't acknowledge you on his death and that he is...""Susan, you should go back to the kitchen." The head maid, Esther yelled at her, she hurried out from me, while Esther came closer to me."You should go to the farm, the grasses need to be cut short." I didn't say anything nor protest, I know Hilary plans to frustrate me and make me run out of this pack but up on till I don't have what I want, which is to take back the throne from Damien, I am not going to rest. It's been a long day, but it's finally come to an end, an end with pain in my back, I haven't done something like this all my life and my weak wolf did help me, during dinner, Susan came to me, we have a little talk before we finally part ways, I went to the stable that is were I live and the others live in the main building. The night was cold again, I was hoping that as the days went by, life will get better, I missed my father, and I missed my mom but I had to be strong, with a better tomorrow in mind. It's late, so I force myself to sleep, I won't know what will happen to me tomorrow. "Iris!!!" Esther's voice was the one that woke me the next morning, I was really tired that when I closed my eyes the previous night, I didn't bat my eyelashes. "Good morning Ma!""The Luna called for you." She said ignoring my greeting, sometimes, Esther seemed strange and always cold. I grabbed my stuff and moved to go answer the call of Hilary. Pulling the door, I can face to face with Damien.Iris POV"You, what are you doing here?' Damien yelled like I was some disgusting stuff in front of him, I move backward, bowing my head to avoid eye contact with him. "Can you talk slave?" His fist went into my shoulder, I wince to one side, the pain was much but never, I am not going to cry because of him, I glared at him. "Lower your eyes." One of his guards yelled, slapping his hand across My face. "Did you know what they do to disobey omegas, they stripped them?" Damien grabbed the hem of my gown and ripped it up, I try to cover myself, but he pinned me to the wall. "Why not I make you my mistress? I know you missed my lips and those kisses, you love it when I place my lips on you." He was about to kiss me when Hilary walked in. "What is going on here?" She yelled, Damien pulled from me. "The question should be, what is she doing here?" Damien turned the question. "She is my maid and she is here to work not give you a boner." It was Hilary's outburst that made me realize that
Iris POV. "Somewhere, you will make money and get the pack project to reality, don't you forget your adopted father, the late alpha always wanted this and he will be happy if you could be useful for once." I look at Damien, he is different, different from the man, I fall in love with, the man I was happy that the moon goddess pick for me, but fate is a bitch, and cruel. "You should pack up, first thing tomorrow you will leave." That were his last words before he turned around leaving me in my predicament, I could see Hilary and her father grinning and this made me feel uneasy, I could feel my hand trembling, the last time I felt this way, was when something bad happened, that was the night I lost my parents, as I make my way towards the other maids, Susan look at me. "The alpha just told me, he is going to send me somewhere, I could make a lot of money for the pack, is he going to sell me as a slave?" I asked since I couldn't ask Damien or Hilary. Susan sighed, as she parted her li
Iris's POVI have no idea, what fucking happen to me, the last thing, I remember was Damien's voice calling out to me, the sound of his voice was what echoed through my ear. "Where am I?" I quizzed, no one in particular as I jumped off my sleep but the door opened revealing the face of a man. 'Good thing, you are awake, you should be strong, because we don't need weak people for this job.""What kind of job?""You should know, I guess those Omegas in Alpha Damien's castle must have told you.""But I don't want to." My voice came out softly. "Oh, I understand, but you have nothing to worry about, alpha David will treat you well, he loves pretty things." I am not a thing. I wanted to burst out, but the man kept going around me, pulling my hair and touching the side of my face, what was he doing? I asked inwardly, as he moved like someone inspecting some parcel. You like the moon goddess, and you will make a lot of money. His words were supposed to console me or boreholes in my heart
Iris's POVNo oh, I don't want to be with him in the same room, I don't know what he will do to me, and from the look of things, he is going to do something really bad to me."Right away alpha David." The lady said, alpha David didn't say anything, he turned around, as she tap my shoulder. "You can do this."That were the last words she said before she goes back to grooming me into what she thinks is appealing to her supposed alpha David, feeling so uncomfortable with the revealing wears that the lady had made me wear, I make my way through the walkway, and she leads me out of the room, after braiding my long brown hair, giving me a short gown, with every step I take, I felt they become heavy, so heavy like a stone is tie to my legs."What do you think he is going to do to me?" I find myself asking. "Oh, dear, I don't think is something that you can't do, he might probably ask you to gist with him, massage his bones, grind him...""Grind him?" I quizzed. "Yes, don't you know what it
Iris's POV"You should escape." I look at Vivian, even if I wanted to, I have no idea how to go about it. She pushed a piece of paper into my hand. I wanted to open it but the door flew open, revealing that scary man, his aura looked dangerous. "Hey Vivian, you should let her go, we just have an important client, he is demanding a virgin, and I heard that you are pure, so you should come with me.""Miller, I thought alpha David said...""Yes, he said so, but he takes his words back since you are the only pure one for now, and this man is paying handsomely, you know what it means so follow me." He grabbed my hand, and Vivian grabbed the other side of my hand. "What are you doing?" He snarled, jerking my hands off Vivian. "You should be careful and don't ever think of escaping because you will not live to tell the story." He gibed as he take me off the room leaving Vivian in pain. I felt every single blood leave my body, I look drained, and as I walked beside him, he turned to me. "If
Iris's POV. "Where do you think you are going to?" That was alpha David, he grabbed my hand, ready to drag me back, but never, I am not going back here, I knee him on his balls, and he howl in pain, distracting killer, instead of going after me, he stops to attend to the alpha. "Get her, idiot, don't let her escape." He gibed. I run into the dark wood, I need to escape, I grabbed the piece of paper that, Vivian had given to me, I turned to the other side, which had more bushed, I wanted to shift into my wolf form but that will be too dangerous they will easily smell me and dragged me back. I sit on one branch, knowing that I have run a great deal, and my legs still ache badly, as a result of my jumping, I would have shifted before jumping but my transformation will take a long time that is what I don't have. I wondered why Vivian gave me this escape route that, is filled with thorns and Iong bushes, I turned to the back of the note, and read, it will be difficult for them to think
Iris's POV"What have you come here for? Solace? Haven't you heard that the haunted castle is not made for weaklings? Your worse mistake is to choose this place for refuge, even if the entire pack is after you, coming here is your worse mistake because I will suck your blood off you."Are you going to suck my blood?""Yes, I will suck it, till there is no blood left in your blood vessels." "Are you a vampire?" 'Call me whatever you want, all I know is that, I will suck your blood""Do you think my blood will be nice?" "Of course, it smells nice." The light came up all of a sudden and his face meet mine, he wasn't fast to grab the hood to cover his face"Yuk!" I yelled turned away from him, his face is disgusting, and I watch him sighed in frustration. "You look disgusting." I couldn't help but murmur. "It doesn't matter, what you think of me, your blood is all I wanted.""Perfect then, you could have them, since it's not going to disgust you, and maybe, my blood in your vein will
Rupert POV"Hey, Rupert look." Mason yelled, pointing to her thigh, there was a mark, it was imprinted on her but it was not a mating mark but that of a prostitute or a slave. "Is she a prostitute running away from her master?" I questioned not expecting an answer but Mason replied. "Yes, this should belong to alpha David, I am sure, he is the owner of this imprint, he is the one running an illegal brothel forcing girls to work for him, she-wolves sold to him by their alpha or the ones he conquer forcefully.""Does it mean she didn't become a prostitute willingly?""Probably, if she did, she wouldn't have been on the run." That was his reply. "Fine, I will send her to him first thing tomorrow." Mason looked at me, my reply had left him confused, even I was confused, why will I want to send a girl back to who she is running away from?"Rupert, you can't send her back there, he is going to kill her." "And I too we kill her, she can't stay here, first thing in the morning, I will send
