Just then, I began to hear quick footsteps stomping in the direction of my room and I groaned, slumping in the bed tiredly.
Who again?Just as expected, my door burst open, and the Luna stepped in with a smirk.She stood tall and elegant, smelling so nice and alluring, adorned with a gown of deep crimson, the rich fabric flowing elegantly around her as she moved, highlighting her slender figure and emphasizing her curves with her long, flowing hair cascading down her back in blonde waves giving her a pretty innocent appearance, but her heart is the opposite.Cold, Ugly, dirty and cruel."Good evening, Queen." I greeted nervously wondering why she was here again. She quickly covered her nose as if I was stinking."Not all body guards you will listen to especially those close to me." She snickered then walked closer while I fumed silently. So she was the one who did that."Yes ma'am." I mouthed and she scoffed."You must be waiting for us to actually finish eating so you can go lick up our leftovers like a dog." She scorned "To save you the stress, we finished everything, so stop having hopes"Tears prickled my eyes, but I fought them back."Okay, I have heard you, ma'am." I replied breathlessly, fighting to push back the urge to grab her head and smash it on the mirror there."I wasn't the one who made your w***e mother open her legs for vampires to gangbang her, so don't blame me." She whispered with a sardonic laugh and it felt like my heart was stabbed.I began to sob silently, my gaze on the floor as I remembered the scene of the day my mother died. it was replaying in my head."Well, listen to me, dirty pig!" She snapped, and I raised my face, looking at her and seeing that mockery face. I really wish I could get that outburst of vampire powers like that night of my birthday. I won't hesitate to devour her from limb to limb and suck her blood dry.But there was absolutely nothing I could do. Not when I can't even have a normal wolf ability. I was the weakest wolf, all strength destroyed with the wolfsbane and silver torture they inflict on me every month, adding that I haven't been able to shapeshift into my wolf yet."My step children are returning tomorrow. A handsome and sexy guy and the most beautiful girl you will ever see. They decided to complete their final year here at this pack's best school. You must treat them like rare gem with total submission. Anything he ask of you, do it." She said in warning."Why do you care about them? They aren't your children and might end up treating you bad." I seethed and she laughed in a sinister tone."You know nothing. Just shut up and do as I say, like the wimp you are. Listen, even if he ask for sex, don't dare make it a deal. A slave like you has no choice on who to touch her body and who not to." She spat shamelessly and it was a miracle that I didn't break her nose with a heavy punch."If he tries raping me, it might just be another case of murder by me!" I bawled and she gave me a knock on the head so hard that I felt it in my brain.I groaned, my face red in anger, as I held my head tight while they ached really bad."Stop thinking highly of yourself. Be ready to face it all since you are wish to live. Suicide is the easiest way of escape but you are being stubborn like your prostitute mother." she snorted and I growled, my fists clenched tight as I raised them in the air, holding myself from striking her."One day, hit me. I can't wait " She taunted with a smug smile and chuckled wickedly before walking away, swaying her hips in pride as I fumed, wishing I could actually pounce on her but I knew I would end up regretting.I slumped on the bed and after almost an hour, my door was kicked open again, and another royal guard walked in, jolting me up as I hissed sadly at the fact that anyone could just barge into my room anytime and anyhow without knocking."Hey, bloodsucker, you ain't eating those leftovers, huh? You can go pack the plates then before the Alpha notices they are still there since they finished eating!" He scoffed, and I arched my brows in surprise."There are leftovers? They didn't finish it?" I asked, standing to my feet as my stomach grumbled louder with a twinge that made me gasp as I swallowed hard to contain the pain.Does it mean that Laura lied to me?He snorted and headed out quickly, while I burst into a wild run to the dining room. Just as I pushed the door open, my jaw dropped as I saw the leftover food on the plates. It was packed together for me, but the Luna's personal maids was feeding it to dogs."Are you here for this?" She asked as soon as she noticed me standing at the door, but my eyes were glued to the tongues of the dogs on the dishes, from the potatoes to the rice, vegetables, and meats. All that in their little portions could be enough to tame my hunger till the next day, adding that I needed to eat so I could bear the torture this night."If you're finally here to eat all these, I can stop the dogs from eating further and allow you to have the rest." She sniggered as she pushed more plates to the dogs, who hungrily pounced on them.It really hurt, but the last thing I could do was shed a single tear for this maid."The Luna sent you to do this, right?" I bellowed, and she nodded with a lopsided smile."Yes, it's the best thing to do to a cursed girl like you. The dogs are better than you!" She blurted, feeding more."How is it going having the Luna pee in your mouth and flog you everyday like a donkey?" I responded sardonically, laughing at her in the most mocking way.She was unaware that I had seen a few of how miserable her life was being the Luna's personal maid. She was more like a slave but had to keep it a secret and act like she was treated nicely.I didn't really know my words could hit her so hard as she flinched and stood in anger, her cheeks flushing red as tears glistened in her eyes."I am not a toy like you, bitchy vampire." She bawled, trying to cover up, but I laughed harder."You are really pathetic, having lost your freedom for the rest of your life. She told you to feed the dogs with this, and you think it's the right time to deride me to make yourself feel better. Try getting a life where you aren't wrapped around someone's finger, receiving all slaps, knocks, and spits on your face." I retorted scornfully.She couldn't bear it anymore and rushed at me with an attempt to slap my left cheek, but she was too slow; I was able to dodge it so easily, and unfortunately for her, she had little or no balance.The next minute, she had already toppled over the table, sprawling a few of the ceramic jars and teacups on it. They fell and shattered on the floor."You see what you have caused, you evil girl!" She cried out, but I only used the remaining strength to give her another shot of laughter before walking away and jamming the door.My vision was becoming blurry, and my brain was hazy from stressing out my fatigued body as I headed back to my room. The starvation really hit me hard; I almost fell.I went back in and lay on my bed in hunger but suddenly I qfelt the urge to sneak out and wander into the woods then visit my favorite river, where I spent most of my time back then.Sneaking out was something I hadn't thought of before because I was really scared, and I really can't tell why it crept into my mind and was already bubbling inside me. The hunger for food suddenly gone and replaced with this desire to see the outside world once again."Yes, let's sneak outside please. it has been years. I can't wait any longer!!" My wolf, Sienna, howled and kicked at me with urgency, as if she would die if I change my mind."What if we get caught?!" I sighed."What if we don't get caught?!" She replied almost immediately, kicking me gently again."It's risky, especially with the kind of hatred everyone has for us. We...""Life is all about risk!!" She shouted, and I couldn't hold my laughter."We will be whipped 20 times for this!""That's if they even find out. And tonight, we already have excruciating torture waiting for us. Let's just have this moment to savor." She whined, and I nodded."But....""No Buts.... We haven't attempted to sneak out before. They won't expect this, and we won't take long before returning. No one really cares about us and won't notice we are out for these few minutes! Remember how busy they all are in preparation of the full moon festival tonight." She coaxed in enthusiasm, as if there were something sp
"Sienna, we are out! We are outside, away from that shit hole!" I screamed inwardly to my wolf, running as fast as my legs could carry me, tears of joy splattering over my face as I laughed cheerfully with my wolf, who seemed to be even happier than I was as it leaped and backflipped inside me with howls that had so much joy."Yes!!! Yes!!! Baby! We did it! Just run faster to the village square, over to the forest, woods, rivers, and garden. We have a limited time, but we will enjoy it to the fullest!" She chirped, laughing with true happiness, such which she had never had before.Since she appeared inside me as my wolf when I turned 18th birthday, life has never been pleasant for her.She knew we were doomed for having the vampire gene, and I was really surprised she didn't take her life and leave me wolfless. She decided to actually stand by me and be my only companion, even when it meant I might never be able to shift into her form to let her enjoy life like other wolves like her.
"You are not going to say anything?" He asked with a quizzical look, his voice deep and smooth, so smooth that I felt like he were speaking into my soul.I gasped and smiled brightly, but he didn't even return the smile and instead let out a deep frown."What do you want me to say, Mr handsome?" I beamed, feeling the rush up my cheeks. I am sure they are like tomatoes right now."What are you doing here? Leave. I want to stay alone." He rasped, but I stepped closer to him, my eyes never leaving him. I really love how his eyeballs flinched and flickered brightly from side to side as if there were lights in them."Isn't it surprising that you didn't know who I am? Every member of this pack knows me." I smirked and saw his brows furrow together as he cleared his throat and gave me a long stare."Who says I don't know you? I just don't want to...."Shhhh," I placed my index finger on his lips, and he let out a growl, his frown deepening as he quickly slapped my hand away. "Don't touch me
"Really? What is going on?" I mused in surprise, watching him take his eyes away from me. I was wondering if I was dreaming, because this is far different from what vampires do to werewolves. Did he mean what he just said? That I should go away without any harm from a vicious vampire like him?Slowly, I stood up, staring intently at him in readiness to dodge any of his sudden attacks that I still believed would come. Vampires are very cunning and ruthless, and werewolves are one of those that they enjoy bullying with their special abilities. Even when I began to walk away, he didn't come for me, and he didn't even turn to glance at me. I don't know why I felt some kind of guilt for treating him like a monster when he meant no harm.But those are my silly thoughts. Vampires are evil, and the best thing for me to do now is leave this place as fast as I can."There she is!!!" A sudden voice burst loudly from a corner of the bush before I could dash off, and I quickly swirled to the corn
I stood there for some minutes, pondering what just happened with my eyes fixed on the exact spot he left from. I could still feel and hear the thumping of my heart, still accelerating real quick, as the image of his face was all that filled my mind like a dark cloud before rainfall.This was the first time I met a vampire, and it was still so hard to accept that he was one of them. Why was he tender to me? Why didn't he harm me or even allow anyone to hurt me? The young man literally saved me from being raped by those disgusting perverts.How possible is it that a vampire, our biggest enemy and rival, was the one who rescued me from my own people who tried to harm me. This is really ridiculous and doesn't seem real.The sun had set, and night was fast approaching. I mean, it was already dark, and if I don't get home in less than a minute, it is very likely that my absence will be noticed because once nightfalls, the next thing is to take me to the dungeon, where I will stay and await
I saved her from those rapists, but that doesn't mean anything close to love or anything related to that shit. It's what normal people do to protect girls from perverts who think they can have their way with them against their will."So what about those bodyguards you killed along with her so they wouldn't catch her? You were literally becoming her guardian angel all the way back." My vampire beast teased."I did that?""No, your ghost did." He laughed, and I grit my teeth, increasing my pace towards my room.I can't believe I really did all that. What came over me?"Jaden!" My mother came hugging me as she stepped out of the palace, meeting me in the sitting room just as I was about climbing up the stairs."We were worried." She added, pecking my cheek."No more worries." Can I go to my room now?""Not yet, son." My father cut in, walking out of the palace too.I sighed, facing him."Please, I'm tired and need to rest my head.""You have a visitor. They had been waiting since you we
We were three, including me and Jake, so we just had one spy join us this night. It wasn't an official spying day, but my father doesn't want to lose any chance of finding out how to successfully destroy his enemies, especially this particular pack.None of us knows why his hatred for them runs so deep in the core of his heart. The resentment reeks from both his eyes and voice each time he talks about them. I was sure they had done a really evil thing to him—something he would never forget and wouldn't rest till he saw their destruction. Anytime I ask him why his hatred for them goes way deeper than for other packs, he will only grit his teeth and tell me that some day I will find out. Honestly, I don't really care.Werewolves are our grave enemies, and that's all I know. We are born to hate them and hurt them at the slightest opportunity. It's forbidden to help or do anything good to any of them. Growing up in the royal packhouse and staying in the palace with my father gave me the
Selene's POV They had all gone to the royal hall as the time for the festival was fast approaching. I was on my bed waiting for my cruel fate then just as expected, my door burst open with four bodyguards stomping in to take me away to the dungeon when I would stay before the time for the torture."You should one day die in your sleep, bitch!" One of them snorted in resentment thinking I was sleeping as they used slap to jolt me up."Why are you putting on that hoody jacket? Cold?" Another sneered, and my heart skipped a beat at how their eyes stared down at me in suspicion."I can wear whatever I want. Can't I?" I seethed and was smacked in the face by one of them. I expected that. No one wants to hear me speak up for myself. I should always stay timid and receive every lash like the puppet they wanted me to be.My life sucks."I pray you die today after the torture." His voice was like ringing bells in my ears, and I was a bit hazy from that smack across my face. All I could do wa
