Luna Charlotte
Charlotte...
It's been a few days since the strange dream I had. I have decided to forget about it and not think much about the dream because that was just a dream. I was currently busy cleaning the main house after the Alpha ordered me to make sure everything is ready for Alpha Damon's arrival and that they wanted everything to look spotless. I know what will happen if I don't clean every inch of this place.
It's been raining for the past three days. I haven't been able to fix the holes in my roof since I've been busy getting everything ready for the Alpha's arrival. I don't know who he is and I sure as hell don't want to be here to find out when he arrives. I have learned that Alphas and Lunas are more dangerous than the other members of a pack so I will make sure I stay away from them.
If it weren't for Mrs. Paige, who brought me food last night, I don't know if I would have been able to handle all this work today. I'm thankful that she brought me the food since I haven't eaten in days and with this weather, I couldn't go out to hunt.
Thunder boomed, making me whimper. I hate thunder. It always reminds me of the first day the Alpha started abusing me. It also reminds me of my father.
My first beating from the Alpha was on a rainy day like today. I was coming from school and made a mess with my muddy shoes. He took me to my room and started beating me. With each thunder, he would hit me harder, making me cry louder and the beatings became harder. That day was the worst day of my life since it was always our Luna that beat me.
But the memory of my father in this weather was painful in another sense. He would hold me whenever I was afraid of the thunder, making me miss him on days like this. I wish they were still here, telling me that everything would be alright.
I close my eyes, hoping that when I leave here, the rain will have stopped before I must go back home since it's a far walk back, especially in this weather, which I hate!
I was done cleaning and preparing for the Alpha's arrival, thanks to Mrs. Paige, who offered to help me; otherwise, I would have never finished in time.
The night had already fallen when Luna ordered me to run to the store to get some fresh flowers for the table. Why can't they just get some from the garden? I mean, I'm the one who planted the roses and it's looking beautiful, but I know it's their way to punish me. She knows how much I fear thunder so instead of suggesting that I decide to do what I was told to do, I don't want another beating.
I'm not allowed to take a car, so I must walk to the store to get the flowers, and if I refuse, I know the consequences. As I walked down the road, something inside me stirred, like something was about to happen. Do you know that feeling?
The thunder was getting harder by the second, making me simpler as I picked up my pace.
I looked up at the sky as the cold raindrops continued to fall on my face but instead of getting cold, I felt hot, like I wasn't standing under the rain but the sun instead.
What was going on with me?
A wave of energy surged through me, and I took off my sandals and started running. That's when I noticed that I could see better in the darkness than I have ever been able to see, and it felt like I was running faster than I usually do.
I got to the store and quickly grabbed a bouquet of roses while the people looked at me like I was some homeless girl. I take out the money and quickly pay for the flowers, having had enough of all the stares. I hate it when people are at me.
I walked back to the house, hoping that none of the pack members were inside the store; otherwise, they would stop me and then beat me senseless. I'm scared sh*tless not only because of being seen by pack members but also because of the thunder that's now heavy.
As I walked, my smelling sense got better; I could smell the humans among the other wolves, and I could smell the coffee one of the people was carrying in their hands. I could hear their whispers as I did in the store, but I didn't pay much attention to them until now. I could hear the wind blowing like it was howling.
I decided to pick up my pace and walk faster. Something is definitely about to happen, and I don't want to stick around to find out.
"Charlotte!" I hear a strange voice calling me. I turn around on the dark street leading to the pack house in the woods. I can't see anyone out there calling me.
"Who's out there?" I yelled after building up enough courage.
"It's me," the voice replies again
"Come out and show yourself!" I bravely yelled out, I know what silly old me is going to do when someone attacks me?
"I can't."
I frowned, wondering, "Why?"
"Because you can't see me, I'm your wolf," the voice replied, making my eyes go wide.
"How? I mean, why now?" I was confused.
"I don't know why you would have to ask the moon goddess; all I know is that she sent me to you to protect you.
" my wolf says, and I had the urge to scream at her.
I was happy and shocked at the same time. Protect me against what?
Maybe now the pack won't abuse me?
I'm not wolf-less.
I have a wolf! After all these years, I finally have a wolf!
"Can I ask you something?"
“Yes.”
"Why didn't you appear when I was 17?"
"I can't give you all the answers but to begin, your parents and the moon goddess had put a spell on you and since they did that to protect you, I was never to come out until the right time. Now enough of the questions, you will soon find out the whole truth," I hear my wolf say.
"I guess better late than never." I smile, almost forgetting that I need to hurry up.
I was now hoping along the road, happy that I have a wolf, not caring if the thunder is getting louder. I must tell Alpha and Luna once I get home; maybe then they will accept me. I don't care if I'm drenched in water and that my feet are all muddy, but I must tell them that I'm finally one of them and that the moon goddess blessed me with a wolf.
As I got closer to the house, a smell that I'm not familiar with hit me. It smelled like forest trees mixed with musk. Who or what did it belong to?
"Do you smell that?" I asked my wolf.
Instead of replying, she just hummed, making me frown.
Rude much? I wondered.
I walked up to the main house, and I could feel my heartbeat increase when I realized that the smell was coming from behind the door.
I was nervous to knock on the door. What if I don't like where the smell is coming from? What if I knock and they open, and my whole life will change?
I have to knock; Luna Helen is probably waiting for the flowers. I reminded myself.
I was just about to knock when the door opened, and a man was standing there in the doorway.
The man in front of me was very tall and he had to bend down. He was now staring down at me with his gray eyes, observing every part of me and I had to suppress a whimper from escaping my mouth.
He had clean-cut dark brown hair, gray eyes that pierced my soul as he looked into my eyes, soft plump lips, and a strong jawline.
Only one word came to mind: gorgeous!
I wanted to look away, but it was like his eyes held me captive. I have never, in my twenty years of existence, seen such a handsome man before. It was like he was daring me to break eye contact first.
I was still staring as I listened to my wolf purr until she shocked me with her words.
"Mate!"
I almost fainted when I heard my wolf suddenly say those words.
How can it be? I have waited forever for this moment.
"You must be joking, right?" I asked her but she hummed in response.
"Where are the flowers? And stop staring at our guest; you are being disrespectful!" Luna's voice breaks the spell I'm under.
I quickly break eye contact and look at her and our Alpha. "I'm sorry, Luna, I just got here." I apologize quickly, handing her the flowers as she snatched them from my hands.
"You can't even buy decent flowers!" I hear her complain before she throws the flowers in my face and I let them fall to the ground. I wish the earth would open and swallow me.
"My apologies, Alpha Damon; this Omega always causes trouble," Alpha says, making me step back as it hits me.
My mate is an Alpha!
No! No, it can't be! We can't; I'm an omega!
I felt sick! No, please, no! I was no longer happy; instead, the happiness I felt a few minutes ago was replaced by fear.
I know how cruel an Alpha can be. Our Alpha has beaten me up and broken some of my bones and it took weeks for me to recover. If I didn't listen, he would sometimes lock me up in a dark room with silver chains wrapped around my wrists and ankles, and then he would use wolfsbane on me just for the fun of it.
"Get out of here before my beta drags you out of here, omega!" My Alpha's voice threatened me.
felt like vomiting. My heartbeat increased not out of happiness but out of fear.
I took another step back as I saw our Alpha glaring at me. Then I took another step and looked at my mate but the look in his eyes held disgust as if I wasn't his mate after learning that I'm only an Omega.
I can feel the tears burning my eyes. I look at where Luna and Alpha were standing before I turn around and run.
I ran as fast as I could, not sparing one more glance at my mate.
I don't know where I should hide because I'm sure he would find me, and I don't want to think about what he would do once he finds me.
"Please tell me he isn't our mate!" I begged my wolf, but she didn't reply, probably mad that I ran away from our mate.
"Do you know what he will do to us?" I yelled, trying to get her attention.
I ran, not once looking back.
Luna CharlotteCharlotte…I kept on running and I noticed that I was faster. I felt sick as flashes of the beatings I have received from the Alpha played in my head.Tears have been falling non-stop. I have never cried like this before, not even when the pack abused me."An Alpha can't be our mate," I told my wolf."Charlotte, just relax; he's not like the Alpha of your pack," she said, and I wonder if she was always here with me.How is it even possible for an omega to be mated to an alpha? I know my parents always said that Alphas usually mated with another high rank.Why didn't he come after me?Is it because I'm an Omega?I know for sure that he will reject me."Try not to think too much about it, Charlotte," I hear my wolf say."It's hard.""I know, let's do something to take your mind off things. How about your shift? How does that sound?""How? I have never done this before," I told her, feeling embarrassed."Think of yourself in wolf form; forget about everything and anyone aro
Luna Charlotte Charlotte… I ran to my house, not once looking back to see if he was following me, as I heard my wolf whimper because I ran away from our mate. I finally reached my house, but I can still feel him. Did he follow me? I open the door and quickly shut it behind me, afraid that he might be right behind me, as I can feel the pull getting stronger. I rushed to my room and changed as soon as I realized that I was naked. I sat on my bed, waiting for him to come. I knew he was going to reject me; why else would he come to me? I know for sure that no Alpha would want an Omega to be their Luna. My wolf begged me to calm down but how could I be calm knowing what awaits me? I feel my eyes burning from tears, knowing that any second now my mate is going to reject me and that I will always be just an Omega, not worthy of love. "Charlotte, will you calm down? He is here," my wolf says. "I know I can smell him; his smell is intoxicating me," I reply as I hear my wolf purr, know
Luna CharlotteCharlotte...I didn't sleep at all after he left. I was confused as to why he didn't want to reject me before he left last night. He told me that I'm going to his pack today.Recap...As soon as he let go of me, I rubbed my hand, still feeling the pain where he held it tightly. "Pack your clothes and be ready at six tomorrow morning; if you're not ready, I will drag you out of here," he growled, walking to the door without looking at me."What do you mean, pack?" I was confused. "You're going home with me," was all he said before walking out. I dropped to the ground and let the tears run freely. "He hates us," I told my wolf."He doesn't hate us; if he did, he would have rejected us already," she purred. "Yeah, but you heard him only do this to make the moon goddess regret making me his mate.""Don't think about it too much; let's see what happens once we are there," my wolf says.I went to the kitchen and got myself a glass of water, then went to lay back down again,
Luna CharlotteCharlotte's POVI don't know how long we have been driving but I was beginning to get hungry since I didn't have anything to eat this morning. I won't ask either one of them for food and since I don't have money, I can't even ask them to stop to get some food.My stomach was rumbling loudly and at that moment, I wished the earth could swallow me because Giovanni stopped the car and turned to look at me and I felt my cheeks getting red from embarrassment."Let's get some food. I know a great place up ahead," he says, turning back."I'm fine; we can keep on driving," I try to play it cool."I know you are lying beside me; I'm hungry myself," Giovanni says as we continue driving.I decided to keep quiet I already feel like I made an ass of myself, and I know if I open my mouth, I might dig my own grave.We drove in complete silence As I looked out of the window, there was nothing in sight for miles when my eyes landed on some sort of dinner in the middle of nowhere. It wasn
Luna CharlotteCharlotte...I immediately woke up as soon as we entered the pack’s borders. The guards at the gate greeted Vincenzo and Giovanni with respect but once their eyes landed on me, they had a frown on their faces.“Do we have a new member, Beta Giovanni?” one of the guards asks without taking his eyes off me.“She is one of Alpha Damon’s guests. Don’t go around and tell everyone about the guest; you know how the Alpha gets when people interfere with his business.” Giovanni ordered the guards to bow their heads, and I assume they understand what will happen to them once they tell someone about me.I feel a strange pang in my chest once I hear those words: “Looks like our mate doesn’t want people or shall I say his pack members, to know who I am.” I told my wolf, feeling sad that even my mate is embarrassed by me.“Don’t worry about it; let's see what kind of place they got going here,” she replied but I can hear the disappointment in her voice.I decided not to think too much
Luna CharlotteCharlotte...I have been here for about seven weeks now, and let me tell you here: I’m being held as a prisoner. I can’t go out of the room at all. I have been asking to see Damon since the day he came back, and that was six weeks ago, but every time I ask Giovanni or Vincenzo, they say he is in meetings or busy with packing stuff. I know they are talking bullshit! He is avoiding me! Why? I don't know.The night he arrived, I could feel him; his scent was so intoxicating that it almost smothered me. The worst part was that he was so damn near, but I couldn’t hold him, nor could I see him.The only times I was allowed to go out of this prison was when Peter was with me, and in that time, the whole pack house would be empty; he didn’t take me on a tour, probably afraid that someone would notice my scent or maybe Damon ordered him I don’t know; I was only allowed on the sixth floor. Peter was about the only one I had contact with. I would sometimes get to see Giovanni or Vi
Luna CharlotteDamon...I broke another pen in half and threw it in the trash. My wolf wouldn't stop irritating me about her. I didn't want her, but why did he? I need a strong Luna who will know how to protect herself and the pack! She can't even protect herself. How the hell will she protect this pack? There was a knock on my door, and I let out a grumble."Leave me alone, Giovanni," I growled. The door opens, and Andrea comes in dressed like a seductress. She has a smile on her face and sits on my desk, bending a bit back as her dress shows more skin."What do you need, Andrea?" I asked, rolling my eyes at her behavior."You look like you need a release," she purred, trailing her nails along my jaw. I let out a growl and pin her up on the nearest wall."This is the last time we are doing this," I whisper in her ear. She lets out a small laugh and stares into my eyes."We both know that's not going to happen, Damon," she chuckles before unbuckling my pants, and in one swift move, I a

My mother, Queen Elsa De Luca, is a witch and had told me about what someone saw, and I would replay it over and over again: "The king and queen will have a daughter with a vampire, werewolf, and witch blood. This child will be at risk to those who want her blood to be the best in the supernatural world. One day she will be lost, not knowing who or what she is, but a day will come when she takes her rightful place as the last tribrid."July 12, 1403.
