Unchosen Luna

Nukea’s POV Today was supposed to be my day off and yet, here I am, hiding behind a bush trying to find a way to sneak into the Alpha’s mansion to steal whatever I can find, while wearing high heels and the most uncomfortable dress I've ever worn. I was planning on going to a party tonight. I thought that I could have a peaceful day for once, maybe even have fun... but my father decided that I had to work today too, after all. He's been toying with the idea of stealing from Alpha Robert for a while now, not only because my dad hates him personally, but because he's also filthy rich. He's always going around showing off all kinds of expensive watches and my father still remembers the time when Luna Lidia was alive and she had jewels adorning her body. My dad is sure those jewels are still in this house and he wants to have them. He wants me to get them for him. I never said anything about it because I assumed it was just another stupid plan coming out of his drunken brain, I didn't think he really wanted to put it into action. And most of all, I didn't think he would send me to do it. But I can't say no, I really need a big hit like this. My father hasn’t made any money in two weeks, so he’s been taking mine. My savings are running out and I can’t let that happen. I stay hidden behind this bush for about fifteen more minutes until I'm sure the perimeter is completely clear and the house is empty. I wait until the street is empty as well and then I run straight into the hallway leading to the backyard. Of course they don't have security... who would dare to steal from the Alpha? The answer is: me. A poor girl who really doesn't have much to lose. The two different service doors and the one for the backyard are both locked, but one of the windows is open. It's narrow, but I'm fortunate enough to have a small body perfect for this kind of situation, so I manage to jump across. And, just like that, I'm in. I almost do a celebratory dance, but I stop myself because I know I can't waste any time. Luckily, the house is completely silent and the lights are off. This gigantic mansion belongs to Robert Heiden, the Alpha of the Greyhound pack. It's been five years since Alpha Robert and his army of wolves attacked and conquered my old pack to take over the territory. Since then, me and my family have been part of Greyhound and everything went to s**t. My father refused to obey the Alpha's command and, in return, Francis has completely and continuously screwed us over. For five years now my father has not been able to get a job at Greyhound, he’s looked down upon and despised everywhere he goes. The man who was my father five years ago no longer exists, now he's just a drunken troublemaker who spends all of my hard earned money. Stealing is not an easy job, especially not when I’m stealing from such a powerful man. Being here is risky, but I'm confident in my abilities. I’m a pro. First, I give myself the task of scanning the entire first floor for anything of value, any hidden boxes where they might have cash stashed away. I know a millionaire like Robert doesn't handle a lot of cash, but I'm still hopeful. Sadly, I find nothing, so I go upstairs and start scanning the rooms. The first two I enter appear to be just guest rooms, but the third one is larger and lived in. It obviously belongs to someone and I get excited because I know I'll find something here. I have to, there’s a lot of s**t around. And it smells so good, like a expensive cologne mixed with something especial, something else I can’t quite name. I turn on the light and start searching, there are a bunch of papers on the desk and a large computer, but there doesn't seem to be any money or valuables in here. I can't leave with something as big as that computer, I’m not dumb. I move to the walk-in closet and start looking in there. I let out a little squeal of excitement when I find a green box with five watches in there. Rolex watches. My god, I hit the jackpot! This is f*****g awesome. I don't know exactly how much they cost, but I know they are extremely expensive. As I'm admiring the watches, I hear the door to the room suddenly open and I let out a gasp. Damn it. I know I'm screwed now, but I don't plan on leaving here empty-handed, so I grab one of the watches and I hide it in my cleavage under my t**s before closing the box again. "s**t, I stink," a man with a deep voice growls in the room as I'm looking around trying to find a way out or a hiding spot, but before I can... he appears in the door. "Huh? Who are you?" the guy who just walked in asks. This is Theodore Heiden. The Alpha's son. The next Alpha. Or ‘The Enforcer’, as they call him. I’ve only seen him from afar with his fancy clothes next to his fancy rich friends… but I’ve heard all kinds of crazy rumors about him, especially that he’s a freaking psychopath who kills criminals in the most savage ways. He is even bigger and more intimidating up close, his arms are the size of my head. This might be my last night alive.
