The Half Blood Luna 11
Klaus’s POV I was in the old alpha’s office pacing back and forth seething in rage. I could still feel the wound on my shoulder as it was healing from the silver knife that stupid, yet brave, girl threw at me. My mind went back to that moment in the woods when I laid eyes on her for the first time. Me and my inner circle were going to visit the Grey’s pack; which were actually now a part of the Crescent Moon, before sunrise. I wanted to check on a few things before the submission ceremony. We were running separately from each other, as I needed some space and quiet to gather my conflicted thoughts. That’s when I saw her. I stopped and stared in surprise at the girl standing in front of me. I wasn’t expecting to find anyone out here at this hour. It wasn’t just that, it was also the fact that she was covered from head to toe in mud. Why the hell was she covered in so much mud? It looked like she fell straight into a mud swamp. I tried to sniff her real scent b
The Half Blood Luna 12
Klaus’s POV I looked at the wall clock in the old alpha’s office. It read 7:02 a.m. Great, less than half an hour to the submission ceremony and I have no idea what Ella’s punishment should be. One thing I was absolutely sure of, no execution. Had she been a guy I might have considered it, maybe. But, what is a fitting punishment for trying to break the rules and killing the alpha? What will send the right message to my new pack? I ran my hands through my hair for the hundredth time since I locked myself in the office. Where the hell was Joseph? He was supposed to lock her up in a cell and come straight to the office. My father didn’t punish many people during his time as alpha. He was very fair and well loved by everyone. But when he did, he would either execute them or whip them in public. That’s it, public whipping. It was better than being dead or cutting off some limb. It will leave marks, but it will eventually heal. How many whips should I give her? How many w
The Half Blood Luna 13
Ella’s POV As soon as Joseph left, I collapsed on the floor of the cell. My body was beyond exhausted. I laid on my stomach for goddess knows how long. My head was blank. I tried not to think of anything. Nothing I would think about mattered anymore. I am going to die this morning. Maybe there is something much better on the other side. Maybe I’ll finally get to see my mom. I closed my eyes and waited for the inevitable. I drifted for a while until my back felt like it was on fire that I had to do something to ease the pain. I slowly got up. I had no idea how much time had passed. It could have been an hour or three. I went to the toilet, removed the tank lid and tried to clean my hands, neck, and face from the dried up mud. I think I got most of it by the time I was finished. I don’t know why, but the thought of dying filthy and smelly in public wasn’t something I wanted. My clothes however were a lost cause. Suddenly, I remembered that I put on two long sleeved shirts. I removed th
The Half Blood Luna 14
Ella’s POV I sighed. 20 lashes is a piece of cake. I've had much worse than that. Well, considering my back had 20 open cuts across it and a dozen other whip marks, it wasn’t really a piece of cake. I was grateful actually that it was only 20. Any more lashes, and I would probably pass out. After 15 minutes, beta Joseph opened the door for me. He was holding a white shirt that he handed to me. “You’ll need to change into this shirt” he said almost sadly. “I’ll be waiting outside to take you when you finish” he closed the door without locking it, and gave me his back. I took a look at the shirt. It was super light and almost see through. Realization hit me, I had to wear it because I can’t be naked in public. And the point of punishment was to make it hurt, so I can’t exactly be whipped in the thick shirt I was wearing. I took off my old shirt and put on the white one. I was practically wearing nothing, which was the point. I opened the door and let Joseph take me to the back door
The Half Blood Luna 15
Klaus’s POV I give Joseph a nod to let Ella come to the stage. He gestures for her to move without touching her. I don’t know why Ella hates him so much and is always scared of him. Although Joseph obviously cared about her ever since last night when he caught her in the forest. She steps into the stage and stands in front of her pack with her head held high. She looks at them without showing an ounce of fear from the upcoming punishment. Even when I told her at her cell that she will be publicly whipped, she didn’t seem afraid of it at all. It was strange, but I think it’s because she has never been whipped before that she doesn’t realize it will hurt her so much. My heart felt sorry for the pain I was about to inflict on her. “Sit down on the ground Ella” I ordered her. She knelt down on the ground and sat on her legs. She swept her hair to the front to give me full access, bowed her head down, and put her hands on her knees. I was caught off guard when she swept her hair out of
The Half Blood Luna 16
Ella’s POV I end up hiding in my room all day crying my eyes out. I skipped breakfast and lunch. I didn’t want to see anyone, not to mention I had no appetite. Looking myself in the mirror this morning, made the psychotic break-down I have been avoiding for 10 months tear my heart open. I sobbed and sobbed until there were no tears left in me. All I was left with was the constant pain that never seemed to end. Around 3 p.m., I heard a knock on my door. I considered ignoring it, but my curiosity got the best of me as I rarely get my door knocked on. I open the door and find the deep blue eyes of beta Joseph staring at me. I grip the door tightly at the sight of him. Why is he here? My heart begins to beat rapidly, as I stare at him in fear. He takes a look at my face and sadness fills his features. “Ella, I went to the pack hospital to check on you. They told me you never came. Are you okay?“ he asks in concern. It takes me a minute to answer him. Why would he go to check on me? Did
The Half Blood Luna 17
Ella’s POV I couldn’t breathe for a few seconds. Despite the horrible discovery I just made about my father and alpha Klaus, that was not the reason for my inability to breathe. A sudden sense of déjà vu hit me. I was in this kitchen serving alpha Grey and beta Sam, when I accidentally dropped the alpha’s glass of wine shattering it to the floor. I have known unimaginable agony ever sense that night. I looked up at my new alpha and beta. They were staring at the mess I made in surprise. Alpha Klaus took a few steps towards me, and I immediately flinched and backed away to a corner raising my hands to my face to protect it from his slap. “I’m sorry alpha, please don’t hurt me. It slipped from my hands” I begged in a shaky voice. I saw through my fingers the shocked face of alpha Klaus. “Why would I hurt you for breaking a bottle of wine Ella? What kind of monster do you think I am?” he asked angrily. I kept staring at him through my shaky fingers. Beta Joseph walked over to me sl
The Half Blood Luna 18
Ella’s POVI recognized the man holding me against the door and threatening to kill me if I scream for help. He was one of beta Sam’s men. The one who spies for him. Who kills for him. I didn’t know his name unfortunately. What the hell is he doing in my room?“Are you going to be smart and keep your mouth shut when I remove my hand?“ he asks.I manage to give a small nod. He lets me go and backs away a little. I take a good look at him. He was probably in his forties. He was very huge and muscular, I could barely reach his chest. He was bald and had a black short beard. His brown eyes were looking down at me in disgust.“I heard your little confession to alpha Klaus in the back yard about what your father did. And let me tell you that that was a very stupid thing you did little girl” he said sarcastically.“What’s it to you? You weren’t involved in what happened?” I whispered.
