The Second Chance Luna

2

The next thing Lena knew, she was being dragged off the stage to another room by Zayne. She wanted to ask questions, to get a grip of what was showing on but she stayed quiet.

She didn't want to attract any punishments so the best thing to do was to stay mute. He pushed her into another room and she faced about six or seven women.

Maids actually and most of them stared at her like they were waiting for some command to attack her and take the life out of her.

“Get her cleaned up." Zayne said gruffly and walked out of the room.

That left her to the mercy of these women and they wasted no time in pulling her from every side. Some pulled at her hair and some didn't even bother to gently take off her clothes and they clawed at it and tore it off her body.

The fabric, as cheap as she could afford, shamelessly came off her body leaving her to be exposed to the harsh cold that didn't waste any time in attacking her skin.

Pain cursed through her scalp as someone pulled her hair too tight as she turned around sharply to rebuke the person. She had been through more than enough bullshit today, to be treated like this.

Someone else beat her to it.

“Julia, be careful." Madam Clara said.

Julia snorted.

“Why do I have to be? She's just a dirty omega who means nothing. She's not even worth the shoes on my feet."

“Wow, well that means the shoes on your feet are worth nothing then." Lena only realized that the words came from her when all eyes turned to look at her in awe.

Julia's deep frown made her turn her eyes to the ground and she could hear Madam Clara laughing behind her.

“Let's get you into the bath, darling. We won't like to keep Beta Zayne and Alpha King waiting. You're really lucky to have been chosen."

She frowned and stepped into the bath.

“I'm sorry to ask but what is going on? What have I been chosen for and what are they waiting for?"

“Well-"

“Oh please, cut the crap. Stop acting so innocent, like you don't know why you're here. Just do what you've been brought here to do and get the hell-"

“Oh, shut up Julia! Just shut up! What in the world has come over you?!"

If only Julia knew that Lena didn't actually know why she had been brought here. She had been forcefully dragged off her bed and brought all the way here, with no one caring to explain things to her.

They began scrubbing her and washing her hair. They scrubbed too hard but sitting there, it helped her think. Think about what the hell was going on. Somehow, it helped her feel cleaner and that was when she realized that she was really turned.

But the makeover wasn't done. Next, they did her hair and dressed her in the most revealing gown she had ever laid her eyes on. The neckline hung so deep she could almost see her belly button.

Her round chest and perky n*****s poke out of the thin linen and they didn't give her any underwear. As much as she didn't want to acknowledge it, a tiny voice was whispering the truth to her, deep down in her mind.

However, she didn't have the time to pay heed to it because Beta Zayne came through the door and nodded when he saw her.

“Let's go." He really was a man of few words

She followed him out of the room, trying to pull together the fabric, to at least cover a bit of her dignity- not that there was a lot left.

The palace was truly beautiful, like nothing she had ever seen before. There was a huge statue of the Alpha right in the center of the building and as they climbed the stairs, the beauty of the house became even more obvious from a higher level.

Bumping into something and being pushed back hard against the wall stopped her visual tour of the house. She looked up to see a woman standing in front of her and Lena took in a sharp breath as soon as she recognized the face.

Mala… the Queen Mala.

That's what everyone knew her as. The rumors that Lena had heard about her did no justice to who was standing before her. Sure, they described her as beautiful and elegant but that was nothing compared to how fair she was and the way she carried herself… she really was the queen.

“Is this the one?"

Even her voice was magical.

“Yes Mala. I was just taking her to see the Alpha." Beta Zayne answered.

Lena tried her best not to look up at Mala, although she could feel the latter's eyes all over her as though she were a prey being observed by a predator.

“I want to believe you know why you've been brought here. And it would be in your best interest not to step out of your lane. More importantly, step on my toes or do anything to annoy me because that would be your end. Do I make myself clear?"

Fear gripped Lena all over and it blocked the word already formed in her head from coming out of her throat.

“Do I make myself clear, you dirty rat?!" Mala screamed and Lena flinched before hurriedly nodding.

“Alright, that's enough. We have to get to the Alpha." Beta Zayne suddenly stepped in and pulled her away from Lena's piercing gaze.

Even at that, she could still feel Mala's eyes drilling holes into her back as Beta Zayne led her away. Beta Zayne seemed like a gentleman, after all, he hadn't done anything mean to her all the while.

Maybe she could ask him what was going on. Maybe he'd know.

“Sir, if I may have the permission to speak." She said softly.

Zayne heard her and he turned around to look at her before facing forward.

“Speak."

“What is going on? Why was I brought here?"

They finally got to an oak door and standing in front of it made her stomach turn for some reason. Beta Zayne knocked and Lena heard some movement inside.

The door handle bent and the door opened.

“You're about to find out. "
