The Unwanted Luna

Katherine POV I am staring at the boiling pot of wolf bane that I am about to be soaked in. My hands were tired from the chains that had been around them for two days now, the head of a dead Wolf beside me. The liquid boils over the rim of the pot and spills on the ground. The guards jump back to make sure even the slightest drop does not touch them. Yet they are willing to throw me in it like some discarded dirt. I can feel everyone's eyes. My eyes take a glance at the face, I am in the middle of a circle surrounded by thousands of wolves and my father sitting on the left side of the Alpha. All of them want one thing. To kill me. They all left their house to come here just to watch me die. How bored could they be? “Katherine, I am going to ask you for the last time. Did you kill the man beside you? The man whose head is by your side?” Our Alpha voice cut through the grumble of the crowd. I shake my head, tears roll down my face “No. I am innocent. Nothing like that happened! Please have mercy on me!” I plead, my voice shaking. “Then how did his head get to your bedside?” my father asks. I look at the man who has called himself my father, the man who gave birth to me. His eyes are filled with t***s but behind them I can see the anger, the deep hate. He sees me as a stain to his image, especially the fact that I am an omega. I shrug, my voice steady “How am I meant to know. I was asleep and I woke up with a headache by my side. I did not kill anyone. I am an omega. How on earth would I have the power to kill a full wolf?” I ask. The murmuring among the crowd increased. I can hear their side comments. “It's true though. She is too weak to kill a full wolf. But then again she is among the pack Army. Most of them are very happy that I am here. After all, I am the only omega who has risen to such a great rank in the pack Army with no one’s help. My father clears his throat and points at me, he pushes me further, my knees scraping the hot concrete ground. “Alpha, this girl here has always made it clear that she hated Elder Caspian. She made it known all the time and that is because she cannot accept the fact that he told her that she was useless and stupid! She left home that night and came back blood-stained with a head in her bag!” He pauses and turns to me “Am I lying?” He asked. I stare at him, even as tears burn my eyes “No you are not” I turn to the Alpha “Yes I went out and I came back in the morning with no bag on my hands. This was all framed” More tears roll down my face, my heart racing with each minute. Not because of the fact that I am about to be tried but because I don't want the truth to come out. If they have no proof the only thing that would be done to me is to be soaked in that going wolf bane pot and then come out. But if they have proof that I killed the Elder Caspian I would be burned to ashes and I can't risk that happening. My eyes land on my Alpha. He squats to me and then at my father as he tries to discern who is lying and who is telling the truth. “Do you have any proof? Whom did you want to meet outside at that time?” He asked. I nod my head “Yes” “Oh please bring him, let's see who committed murder together. Alpha I tell you one thing for sure, Katherine has been like this, she is cursed after all, an omega, and not only that she is wolfless, mateless. And useless. We need to kill her before she kills someone! The other time she almost strangled her own sister!” He shouts at the top of his voice at my little sister. She bends her head, a little tear rolling down her face. This pretentious b***h. “Well, that was because she insulted my dead mother. She called her a slut!” “And did she lie?” My dad asks as he glares at me. Wow! I give a dry humorless laugh. Really? “So now she is a slut? Someone whom you met as a virgin? The person you slept with and got pregnant with is now a slut? Really? If she is a slut then you are also a slut. A shameless heartless one!” I snap back. “Enough!” Our Alpha snaps. The whole crowd falls silent. “Who were you with?” He ask I shake my head “It's no…” “It's me!” Cain's voice echoed from the entrance. Fuck! I roll my hands into a fist. Why the hell did he have to come outside after I told him to keep himself out of my story? He walks towards me and stands beside me, his eyes land on mine. A glint of guilt passes through it before he turns to the Alpha. Alpha dean sits upright, staring at his brother. He shakes his head and then looks at me. The mumruing among the crowd increased “Cain? What were you doing with a wolfless omega? Since when did you start meeting with wolves like her?” he asked. Cain shrugs, his shoulders squared. “I needed her to teach me something private which she did and then she went back home. I did not hear any sound after that so I am so sure that she is not the one” “Do you have any evidence?” The Alpha asks. Cain states to me, and I shake my head, my eyes pleading with him not to say anything. No matter the reasons why I did it, the pack would not consider that. Murder is murder. “No. I don't have” The Alpha remained silent for a while staring at me. He heaved a sigh, and my heart raced. “Throw her into the wolf bane” The guards rush to me, dragging me. I am already too weak, too beaten to even care. They drag my heavily beaten body to the front of the bonfire with the boiling pot in the middle. Some mothers cover their kids' eyes to prevent them from seeing what is about to happen. The guards lift me, and I close my eyes ready to bear the pain. I am not sure I would survive this bowl of wolf bane. It takes a usual wolf ten minutes till the wolf bane states wear off. And by calculating with the heat, I would be left inside that place for an hour. They raise me high, ready to drop me. I close my eyes with a smile. At least I would leave this wicked world and see my mom. “Stop!” Alpha Dean's voice echoed around the whole place.. The guards pause and drop me. My heartbeat increased. What happened? Did he find out the truth or what? He stands up and walks towards me, the guards at his back following him in every step he takes. I try to take a step back as he comes closer, his tall height and power overpowering me. I bend my head, maybe he wants to kill me. Or banish me. No. That would be worse. To be a mageless omega with no lack would practically mean death “She was one of the best soldiers we ever had. She made sure that she did everything well and showed a good amount of strength. For an omega, she tried so well. So I would be chasing her punishment” My heart drops. What could this mean to me “You would go to the Vale pack and bring the head of Klaus, his mate, and his brother. Do I make myself clear” My whole heart shattered into tiny little pieces. This is practically death. The Vale pack is one of the most powerful packs ever. Unlike us, their royal members have long silver hair that shines more in the moonlight. They are said to have extraordinary strength. The ones after the heart of the moon goddess. And then there is Klaus. The hybrid. He once wiped out a whole pack one night and arranged their hearts to spell their Pack's name at the beginning of the pack all because they did not obey the orders of his dad. Meeting him would mean Death. Killing him is impossible. But there is a little possibility too. I nod my head slowly, not begging “As your Alpha wishes,” I whisper. The guards loosen my hands almost immediately. I look at him “This is a very impossible mission. But I will try my best. It is an honour that you think I can do it. But if I do it I want you to grant me one wish” “And what is that?” “That you make me a real wolf like everyone else. If I do the impossible mission and bring the heads of these people I would be a full wolf and not an omega” My Alpha stares hard at me, contemplating. He knows this is a very impossible mission yet he agrees. Maybe because he thinks I would never make it back. “Fine!” A smile laces my lips as I stroll out of the crew they despise giving away for me to pass. If I am to die I should die fighting for my freedom. A guard stopped at my front and placed a paper in my hands. I open it, and it's a move note from Cain, the Alpha stepbrother and my boyfriend. “I love you and I am following you to the pack. We are going to show your parents that you are innocent” I smile. Yes, I love him, I love Cain more than anything. But I lied. My eyes take a glance at the bead lying on the floor. Of all the times this time my dad was right. I actually killed Elder Caspian that night because he tried to force himself on me. And do I feel guilty? No.
