The Unwanted Luna

Chapter Three

Katherine POv

The moon goddess must really hate me. That is the only explanation as to why she would put me on trial twice in a week.

I am kneeling before Klaus, my hands chained behind my back..

Two guards stand beside me with whips that have given me even more marks on my pack than they gave me in my palace

Klaus sits on the throne glaring at me. His eyes are red, but red, on me, never leaving me.

I swallowed hard, and my eyes scanned the whole room. I have been here for the past thirty minutes and yet there is no sign of cain.

Not even his scent.

Maybe he is dead.

No. He can't be. Please he should not be dead.

If he is then I would have no remains to live, no reason to do all I am doing begging and denying something I never did.

“If you are looking for your partner he is not here” Klaus voice cuts through.

The crowd fell silent at once, so still that even the babies stopped crying.

“Please, I did it all. Cain is innocent. Let him go” I pleaded.

Please.

He smirks and stands up, two guards follow him behind adjusting his garnet.

He walks towards me, and I bow my head in surrender.

I would do anything.

Anything just to see Cain again.

“ You want to see your partner right?” He asked.

I nod slowly “Yes he is innocent”

He stares at me and then breaks into dry laughter. “Do I look like someone who gives one or two f***s about who killed and who did not? You miserable sneaked into my pack, killed my mate, my mother and you expect me to let you go?. You want your mate right?” He ask

More tears rolled down my face. I nod slowly “Yes”

He fetched a bottle from his pocket and threw it at me, it shattered the contents spilling on the ground

I stare at him and then at the content. “Those are his ashes”

The whole world pauses for a moment, and I stare at the ashes before me.

I shake my head.

No, no. This can't be

Cain would not leave me. He promised me that he would never do such a thing. He loved me, he would not die and leave me in this miserable world alone

“No!” I scream at the top of my lungs, I bend my head to the ground even with the chains in my hands, and sniff the ashes, I might not be as sensitive as the others when it comes to scent but I can know what is happening.

It scents just like him. Smelling like almonds.

More tears rolled down my cheeks.

Cain is gone

I close my eyes, his beautiful braid and beautiful smile flood my head, the look on his eyes when he swore to go with me.

How handsome he looked when we first met at the party

The only person who cared about me. Who loved me was gone

Just like that.

“Arrgh!” More loud piercing screams fill the air

Klaus starts laughing, his laughter echoing like a disgusting mockery in my head as I scream more

A mixture of his dark empty deep aquifer and my heart-piercing scream.

I pause and look at the ashes.

I brought this upon him, all of this on him. He did not do anything. He would have been alive if he had not loved a cursed soul like me.

The guards walked into the room, and my eyes caught sight of Cain's sword. The same one I had given him on his birthday.

It looked clean, untouched just like it had been when I had first made it with my bare hands.

He had promised that he would carry this sword wherever he went, and he did. He kept his promises.

He believed every single word I said.

Including the lie I had held him.

Maybe if I told him I killed Elder Caspian he would have stood back.

But what would I she some? Tell the only person who called me that I had reduced my self-worth because I was r***d.

Who would believe me?

“Please tell me it's a lie. He is innocent! He is innocent. He is f*****g innocent!” I scream more.

My eyes land on the sword, on the melodies it held

And then I pause.

It was untouched.

It was clean.

No blood stain

Just like mine we had not used it.

Someone else killed Klaus' mother and mate and we confidently became scapegoats.

Klaus walked back to his seat and took a seat on his throne

“You see what I love about lovers. They would do anything for each other. When I mean anything I mean anything. Cain kept saying what you said. She is innocent. She did nothing. I did it all. So I killed him and if I am honest did you know what I wanted to do to you?” Hee ask

I shrug “Kill me?”

He shakes his head kissing his teeth “I heard you are a very top-ranking member of your pack. How can you be a top-ranking member and still be this dumb? I would have asked you to kill him”

With that, I snap my head upright to glare at him “That would have never happened. I would have never killed Cain. I love him”

Klaus laughs again. He turns to the man standing beside him “Look at this wolfless omega. Can you hear what she is saying, Luca?” He asks.

Luca, a middle-height man with long black hair nods slowly even though there is no emotion on his face. Just blank “Yes Klaus”

Klaus continued laughing “She… she said she would have disobeyed me. She is staying she was forced”

A woman wakes towards him with a golden jar and a cup.

“Why did you not say no to your f*****g Alpha! You took my mate from me, Katherine! You took my Theresa and I plan on doing the same to you. I would not kill you. I would forget you. You would bear the same the f*****g pain I am bearing for losing my mate and my mother! Do I make myself check?” He ask

I swallowed hard. There is nothing left to lose.

No one

Just me alone

I square my shoulders and meet his biting gaze. I don't say a word just glare at him

“You answer me when I talk to you! Do I make myself clear!” He shouts, he snatches the jar of water and throws it and me, takes the cups and throws them on the ground.

The water poured on my hair

I stuck my tongue to get a taste of the water. I don't even remember the last time I took water.

I square my shoulders. I would not give him the satisfaction he is craving for..

I meet his “And if I don't?” I ask

He raised his eyebrow and looked at me. He stands up and strolls towards me, grabbing me by my neck

His touch burns my skin, and I can feel a sudden rush of power flowing through me.

His eyes turn black as he growls “Mate”

“Mate”

He takes a step back like my skin has burned me, staring at me.

His eyes had returned to their normal colour but not so blunt that he couldn't feel the bond between us.

He takes a step toward me to grab my neck and then a step back

He looks at me with a sad smile.

“The moon godess be damned”
