Chapter 1: The Revenge
Anita's Point of View
My nerves are on end as I adjust my tiara. Today was the day. It was my twenty-first birthday and I was getting mated to the absolute love of my life and the new Alpha of the pack, Alpha Dune. I had trained all my life to be a Luna and today was finally the day.
Dune was finally going to mark me as he promised and we'd be happy forever.
I took a deep breath looking at myself in the mirror and I left my room walking down the stairs to meet my stepmother.
“Oh darling, you look so beautiful.” She said with a smile.
Dana had been with me since I was fourteen and the closest thing to a mother since my biological one passed away when I was a child.
“Thank you Mother.”
“Ready to meet your guests?”
“Yes.”
We step into the hall and everyone turns to look at us with huge smiles and raised wine glasses. I nod my head in greetings as we pass through the crowd going to meet my father.
“Honey, you look as beautiful as your mother did on her 21st.”
“Thank you Dad.” I said hugging him.
I looked around searching for my lover.
“Looking for someone?” My stepmother said with a smile.
“Oh…” I blushed.
“He's going to be here soon I think. He should be in your father's office if he already is.”
“Oh alright then.”
I moved around talking to guests and taking congratulations. My eyes searched up looking for my lover seeing him nowhere.
I was lost in thought when a server bumped into me.
“I'm so sorry, miss.” He apologizes profusely, bowing down a few times.
“It's alright. I think it's time I change into my other dress.” I said going to my step mother to inform her of my plans.
“Oh. That's alright.” She said with a smile, a light shining in her eyes.
I go back to my room, changing into my reception dress, a shorter and more comfortable fit.
I admire my figure in the mirror, feeling shy about showing Dune the dress.
I move out of my room heading to my father's office. I reach for the knob when I hear muffled voices inside the voice.
“Stop, you're going to give me hickeys on my neck.” A flirty female voice said.
“You always love my hickeys though.” A voice I recognize as Dune said.
“Do you think anyone would ouod notice we're gone?” The female said again.
“I don't think so. Apart from that your clingy pathetic sister. I can't wait to get rid of her. The idea just sends my blood rushing.” Dune said as they both laugh.
My mind reels and confusion and hurt as I finally realize he's a cheating, lying s**t.
I bang the door open to confront my lover and his slut.
“You cheat…” My words are paused when I see Dune and younger step sister, Shelenda tangled in kisses and her dress discarded.
“What is going on here?” I ask in a shaky voice.
“I didn't think she'd come in this early. She was always a curious little cat.” Shelenda said with a smile looking at Dune who helped her zip up.
“I said what's going on here?” My eyes reddened as I shouted.
“You don't raise your voice at your Alpha.” Dune finally said,looking at me smugly.
“You’re my lover and yet you're here with my own sister being all lovey dovey.”
“I don't remember a slut being my mother.”
“What did you say?” I said moving to her about to give her a slap.
“Stop.” Dune said, pushing my hand away.
“You're supporting her?” I said with tears in my eyes.
“Well, she isn't wrong.” He said.
“You insolent-” I stopped looking at them with tears in my eyes.
“You shouldn't throw words at your Alpha, Anita or his Luna either.”
“His what?”
“Are you deaf now?”
“You're not the Luna. I'm the rightful Luna!” I shouted.
“I think my mother would prefer this show downstairs.”
“Let's go, Anita.” Shelenda said hand in hand with my lover.
My feet refused to move. Tears clouded my eyes as I stood there reeling from the Betrayal.
“Don't dull the night Anita. It's only getting started. Now come along.” Dune said to me, amusement in his tone.
I stood staring into space and I felt a painful pull in my arm. Dune was dragging me down the stairs until we reached the hall.
“May I have your attention everyone.” Dune said loudly, pushing me to the floor.
“It seems we have a rat in our pack who claims to be someone she isn't and never will be.”
Murmurs from the crowd reached my ears.
“Anita Stone, for years, has claimed to be my mate and the future Luna of the pack, overshadowing and assaulting the true Luna of the pack, Shelenda Stone.” Dune said loudly.
“She tried to hurt me on several occasions and tried to cover the Alpha from me. Making you people of the pack be against I and the Alpha’s relationship. She threatened my mother with death if she ever tried to talk.” Shelenda said loudly, her voice cracking at the end.
I looked up at my stepmother looking at me with a smile and cleaning off the fake tears of her face and my father looked at me with disgust and shame.
“Anita Stone, for all your crimes against the pack and the Luna. I cast you away today. We dissociate from you and you shall leave right his moment.” The crowd chants yes loudly as I look at the faces of the people I called my friends and family all these years.
Shelenda walks up to me, squatting down a bit.
“Why do you think I was attending lessons with you or mother arranged your dinners with me in them or the days you would call Dune he wouldn't pick up even thought he was clearly free or during his coronation, your weren't invited to the main event because it was a family and private event. It's because you were never the Luna.” She whispered in my ear.
My teeth grind as I push her away hitting her with all my strength.
“She just hurt the Luna!” Someone screamed from the crowd.
Guards picked me up as I scratched away from their hold screaming.
“I'm the Luna!” I shouted.
They threw me in the forest against a tree.
“Goodbye forever traitor.” was the last thing I heard before my vision turned black.
