The Beta's Scarred Mate: A Loner to Luna Prequel

It has only been a week since we buried my parents and I became a slave to my pack, but it feels like a year. Luna Kate is awful! I am only allowed to eat once a day, as long as I’m good. I only get what ever is left after everyone else in the pack has eaten. I’m okay with that. Luna Kate looks for reasons to hit me. Even if one of the omegas drops something, I get hit for it. There is one omega, Ayame, who takes too much pleasure in seeing me get hit. She purposely drops and breaks dishes loudly so Luna Kate will run in and slap me so hard, I fall to the floor. I have kept my promise though. I do not cry in front of them. I refuse to show weakness. They will not break me. After a month, I have bruises all over my body and my ribs hurt. Luna Kate started kicking my stomach and sides after she had slapped me to the floor. When Gabrielle came to get me early this morning, I was already awake and dressed. My face was swollen and bruised, but I was not going to let any of my injuries sto

I sat up on my cot, hugging my legs, wrapped in my blanket until I heard the door open and quiet, gentle, footsteps were walking toward me. I saw Gabrielle walking toward me with a tray in her hands. She had the key to my cell in one hand and a breakfast tray in the other hand. As she walked into my cell, she placed my tray on the bed and sat on the stool, “Don’t eat the biscuit. It has wolfsbane in it. It’s poison.” I gasped, “Why would they do that to me?” She explained, “I saw Luna Kate talking with Ayame in a corner of the kitchen. I’m sure the two of them are making sure you don’t get better.” I giggled, “The Moon Goddess beat them to it.” Gabrielle furrowed her brows, “What?” I giggled as I turned around to show her my back. She gasped as I felt her touch my back, “How did you heal so fast? You don’t have your wolf yet.” I answered, “The Moon Goddess healed me. I’m trying to act like it still hurts when Alpha or Luna come down.” She shook her head, “You are very special, Izzy. Y

I knew I couldn’t get through tonight without something happening. Tasha growled in my head, “Tell her to get out. She’s nothing.” I turned my attention to Ayame, “It’s none of your business. I wasn’t doing anything but getting some fresh air. That’s all.” She looked at me suspiciously, “Why would I believe that?” I explained, “I couldn’t sleep. Sometimes a walk helps me sleep. I don’t get to go outside during the day. I’m always too busy or I’m in the dungeons.” She shrugged, “Got it.” I asked, “Can I go to bed now? I’m really tired.” She stood up and walked toward me, “I’ll just find out from Gabrielle what you were doing. I know you weren’t meeting a man.” I furrowed my brow, “Ew. Gross.” Ayame laughed, “There is my answer to that. I guess I will take your word for it.” She walked out of the attic and I went to my bed and looked at it. I started looking around while Tasha was growling, “I don’t trust that bitch.” I answered, “I agree. Can you lend me your sense of smell to see if th

It has been two years since I started cooking for the pack and Luna and Alpha have started keeping wolves from other packs from seeing me. Luna has been more verbally abusive than physically. Every time Alpha starts to grab my wrist to beat me, Luna stops him, “She can’t cook if she’s hurt.” I guess they like my cooking that much. When I asked Luna about blackberry bushes, she told the gardener to plant some. After the first time I made bread, Luna makes sure I have all of my ingredients all the time now. She also makes sure I have plenty of fruit for my cobblers and muffins. She has instructed that I keep muffins all the time now. She has Ayame and Gabrielle wrap them individually when I’m at school. Gabrielle has told me that Ayame keeps getting mad that she is cleaning up after me. When an Alpha from another pack comes, I have to take the day off school to cook dinner for that night, then run to my room and stay there until morning. Then I have to get up super early and make a big

I turned seventeen two months ago and found out that no one in this pack is my mate and I am so happy for that. Although Luna Kate was quite disappointed. After all, if my mate had been in this pack, I could’ve kept cooking for them. I just wouldn’t be a slave anymore. They wouldn’t be able to hurt me anymore. The problem with that is the fact that I wouldn’t want to work for them anymore. I’m happy that my mate will be able to take me away from here. Now I just need to make sure he can find me, somehow. Tasha smiled in my head, “All you have to do is be around. He will scent you and be drawn to you.” I sighed, “I hope so. Hopefully, Luna won’t keep me hidden when there is company coming.” Tasha laughed, “Lady, don’t you know that your scent is all over this house?” I laughed, “I guess I need to walk around the house some more.” She grinned, “I was hoping you’d say that.” I started making my chipotle sauce for sub sandwiches and then started gathering the ingredients for them. I had m
