my mysterious Luna

Birthday nightmare

(Scarlet p.o.v)

I am excited and terrified at the same time. I will be turning thirteen years old soon. My birthday will be on a Sunday and I am not expecting anything. My only wish to the moon goddess for my family, friends, and the kingdom's safety is, I might be in hell, but if they are doing fine, I can bear everything for them. Two days ago, a girl called Sarah lied that I abused her and slapped her. I didn't do that. I don't even know her.

I didn't know she existed until that day of the accusations. My God!!! What in the name of the moon goddess did I do to this girl.

The Alpha and the others did not want to hear my side of the story as I am nobody.

My punishment was a hundred lashes on the back. My back is still painful, but I can't slack around. No matter how much pain I am in, life must go on.

Rose helped me clean the wound and gave me painkillers to help with the pain. I am grateful for her help.

The wound should heal quickly, but since I have not turned, the healing process is slow, two to four days, and I will be as good as new if the wounds are not deep.

I have seven years to go until my eighth birthday and I can find my mate. That is all the hope I have now. I am sure I will be too busy on Sunday to remember my own birthday as I share it with Alpha's son, Gideon Black, and we will be catering the birthday party. He will be sixteen and he can go to Alpha's camp to train for two years.

I'm just glad that these days time flies very fast.

Good morning Scar. I hear voices and a knock. I jack up with sweat all over my body. I have been having the same nightmare of my family dying since I came here. I think my mind is trying to give me the reason as to why they haven't found me until now. I will not accept that. I don't understand this dream. If anything happened to my brother and my parents, I would have felt it. I need to remember what happened after the explosion.

The Moon goddess please grant me this wish of restoring my memories of that day.

I woke up, wiped myself, and headed to the door to open it. I knew it was Rose and the others. They were the only ones that called me by name.

I open the door and they start singing Happy Birthday to me. They had a cupcake and a candle. After they are done singing, Lisa, one of the omegas, says to me, make a wish and blow the candle before someone sees us. I do as I am told and I eat the cake. I thanked them for the cake and I dashed back to the room to change so that I could start working.

We have a lot of cooking and cleaning today. We have guests coming from neighboring packs to celebrate Gideon's birthday.

We started with breakfast while others were doing laundry and cleaning the house. It's four in the morning. No one is awake other than us. We sweep the compound and wipe the windows and walls. Everything must look perfect today. No messing around unless you want to stay hungry for an entire week.

When Linda was nowhere to be seen, she was in the dungeon for a whole week with no food and with little to no water. Why? Because she accidentally walked in, on Alpha and Luna making out.

When she was released she looked like a shadow of herself, she had lost weight and she was pale, her hair was a mess and her eyes did not have life in them. I was so worried about her and her well being. As if being in the dungeon wasn't enough, she was expected to go shower and start her duty. These people from this pack are cruel and ruthless even to their own people.

just because they feel they are weak.

The event started in the evening. The tent and the chairs were all set in the backyard. The theme was white and blue, and we did all the decoration because Luna wanted everything custom-made.

The flower bouquet, which was the centerpiece, was arranged and made by hand. Also, the flowers that went around the tent and balloons were handmade. A lot went on for the sake of this event.

After all that, our work was to serve others and guests.

We served the party and everything was going really well until the end. I was done with my duty and the party was over. As I headed to my room, I bumped into someone. I didn't look up,to see who it was. I just said I was sorry while looking down.

Look at me. I heard someone demand

I was confused if he was talking to me because I am not supposed to look at anyone in this pack.

he demanded, look at me and apologise for bumping into me.

I winced and looked at him, it was Gideon.

am sorry for bumping into you, I said, shaking.

He looked at me weirdly, with lust in his eyes.

He moved forward, extended his hand, and caressed my chick.

What the hell? I said and moved back.

What are you doing? I asked, trembling.

Nothing, he replied, as he moved forward.

Have you forgotten that I am a slave, I am filthy! I stated

You get dirty just by touching me, future alpha. I mocked

The i***t moved forward, it seemed what I said did not affect him. He was a boy on a mission and I was a girl who needed help.

Please leave me alone, I was going to sleep, I said, pleading with him.

He grabbed my hand and said," You are not too young to play with. excuse me, I was too young to play the game he wanted and he was too young and drunk to realize I was a slave and not his class.

I took a few steps back, he took a few steps forward. I started to panic.

My face paled. What he was saying, I was thirteen.

I am thirteen. Please let me go. I pleaded this time with tears in my eyes.

Goddess please send someone to rescue me because I don't have the strength to fight this boy, I prayed.

He pulled me to the bushes that were near us and he asked me to kneel. I pleaded, please let go and I will never dump into you again.

My father paid a lot of money for you,so you need to do as you are told, little b***h.

I started wracking my brain away from this mess. it didn't matter, but I was not going to do anything to him. I would rather go to the dungeon for a year than entertain this prick, I thought to myself. While kneeling, I started looking for something I could use to hit him with.

I used one hand to support myself while I was searching. With the other hand on the ground, I found a stone. I took it and hit him with it where the sun doesn't shine.

He screamed and I took that chance to run away to my room. Knew what would come next and I prepared myself mentally and emotionally. I know physical pain can heal with time, but I have to protect my emotions and mind as a witch because they are very important for controlling your power. I will need to be strong mentally and emotionally. I won't let this place break me. My parents spent twelve years preparing and building my mind and emotions to be strong for my 16th birthday and I will not let a few months of living here destroy that.. Never!!! I reassured myself.
