A LUNA’S CHOICE

Chapter 3 – REJECTED BY HER WOLF

Then it was my turn, to reveal my wolf my happiness knew no bound, I would be free from being beaten and mocked, I will fight with my wolf, much more I would have a companion, someone I can converse with, speak with in my head, without nobody preying or judging me.

But the seer said, “Who are you? Who are your parents?”The question startled me, where are those questions coming from? Nobody has asked of my parent growing up, I had only had news of my father, but nobody knew where my mother was.

I heaves a breathe as shivers ran down my spine, the cold breeze hit my exposed body and I could feel everyone eyes boring a hole into me. I could sense their curiosity, they all want to know who my family is, I open my mouth to talk but my throat clogs up and only air escapes my mouth.

I gulped and mustered up my courage, “I don’t have a family.” I whispered back but the werewolf’s hearing was super sensitive they all heard me; they broke into loud laughter which got me out of my trance. This wasn’t surprising, they were back to mocking me at any slight opportunity.

“You are not pure my daughter, your wolf detests you.” The seer voice echoed in my head and my heart sank, my eye was turning blurry with tears.

The word kept repeating in my head as I fall to the ground. I knew nothing about how I was born but I was told during a class in the school - you are born to soar, prevail, dominate and triumph, you are born a warrior, a conqueror and you have no limitation.

Those words never resonated with my life, my life has been complicated and unstable, I have no control over anything, I am too weak and fragile.

I stood up sprang up suddenly, as I walk into the dark deep forest in the lonely night, as thought lingers on whom my parents her, do I have a siblings? I couldn’t even make out a picture of them in my head; the only thing I knew was growing up in the pack’s orphanage, with kids like me who their parents are dead or exiled. Even within those however, I was the weakest one and the target for bullies, now, my position as useless had just been cemented as even my wolf saw no good in me.

I crouch to a big tree and scream into the empty forest but my voice was hoarse it couldn’t carry the weight of my pain, the pain of being less to every other wolves in the pack, the pain of been berated and looked down on, I was too weak even wolves younger than me posses more power than me, but I have never heard a wolf without it wolf.

My mouth quivers as I glare into the empty forest, snow started falling heavily; I gather the little strength left in me and limped to my quarters, falling on my hard bed wobbly.

“Ma’am you okay” a distance voice said in my head and got me out of my reverie, I nod my head in agreement and gave him a curt smile “…..ma’am we are about to close.” He said in a nice gesture as he bow is head slightly.

I wandered the bar and everywhere was vacant, I jolted up from my seat “I am sorry.” I said as I pull out my pulse to pay off my bill.

“It is okay ma’am, have a good night.” He said waving his hand in dismissal, rejecting the money I had just offer, I push the money into his hand and rush out to the dark snowing street to hail a cab home.

The blasting music from my phone woke me up from my great slumber, I winced as my head ache with so much pain and dizziness. I ignored the pain and roll over to the bed stand to get my ringing phone, I pick up the call and a male voice was heard

“Ma’am, the final batch of products to be delivered has also been substituted with inferior goods, we are completing another phase of our agreement and we hope we fulfill your end of the deal.” The man said. He was the leader of the secret agents employed to make sure the services delivered by Arc Brand Company were of inferior qualities and I have only paid half of the money they requested as drawn in the contract and now they are done I have to pay the balance.

“I will make the payment before noon and if he didn’t yield to my proposal, I would like to work with your organization again.” I replied, asserting more energy to my shaky voice.

“We are available anytime, Miss Sophia.” He said eagerly, almost like he hoped the company wouldn’t agree to whatever I wanted them to do.

“Thank you.” I appreciate him curtly and end the call before slumping back on the bed, resting my two hands on my cheeks.

After some minute of self motivation I staggered into the bathroom to freshen up, done with my morning habits I left the bathroom and stand in front of my mirror, staring deep at myself, I have changed a lot, my fear aren’t the same any more, my dream are change drastically and my emotions I can’t even decipher; I wasn’t the timid girl they all knew back then, situation really made you to a new creature.

I pull out the chair in front of the vanity desk back slightly and sat on it, I moisturize my body with the lotion cream pushing my entire problem behind me, I walk towards my closet and pick up a shirt and a trouser there isn’t much eventful thing to do.

I dress up and ambled into the parlor, I sat on the same couch I sat the other day, the same position and pick up my remote and on the TV like I always do, it has been a ritual since my battle with Arc Brand Company.

Another female was on the screen reporting the same news reported the previous day but there was a new occurrence on the ARC Brand Company.
