The Invincible Luna

Prologue

There’s a really strong pack in the northeast near Maine and Canada. It was the Phoenix Pack, their strong Alpha Samuel Caine and his beloved Luna Sylvia. They were believed to be fated mates since birth. Couple years apart, both had bright silver eyes, golden tan skin and platinum blonde hair. Sylvia was the daughter of the last Beta so her and Samuel were together from a young age. When they were confirmed to be mates everyone thought this would bring the pack prosperity and good fortune.

Sylvia became pregnant four years after they were mated and one year since Samuel succeeded as alpha. With the birth of their son Sebastian the features they all shared were obvious. All the elders preached that this was a clear sign of the goddess’s blessing on their pack. Legends had said that in the past destined Alphas or Lunas that would lead the pack to greatness had special appearances. With all the stories being told to the leading couple they were eager to keep having children.

When their son was a little over three years old the couple become pregnant again. Sylvia was especially happy, feeling this time she’d have a little girl. For the entire pregnancy she decorated the nursery and shopped for outfits to dress up her baby girl. When the hospital confirmed her suspicion, Sylvia rushed to Samuel in excitement.

They both were loving parents to their son and couldn’t wait to meet their daughter.

Four months later Sylvia went into labor, a painful and long labor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~

After almost 14 hours of labor the doctors became concerned for their Luna’s life and had to take her for a C-section.

The doctors were the first to see the baby that day. Everyone in that room was shocked and concerned a little. They took the baby away to get checked and got Sylvia to a recovery room. After a bit a nurse brought the baby to her parents.

The entire way she was extremely concerned how they might react when they saw their child.

Sam was the first to see the nurse coming into the room while him and his wife were talking. He was automatically confused and concerned by the look on the nurse’s face. Was there something wrong with his child? Was what he was thinking when she came up to them.

“Um, Alpha Samuel, Luna Sylvia, you’re daughter… um…,” she trailed off as she picked up with baby from the hospital nursery crib.

*gasp* Sylvia was extremely shocked looking at her daughter with wide eyes. This can’t be our child! She thought taking in the appearance of this baby in front of her. This little girl she wanted so bad didn’t look like either Sylvia or Samuel. The baby had dark brown hair, pale white skin and ruby red eyes. The nurse nervously walked over to the alpha to hand off the baby.

He hesitantly took the child in his arms and stared in disbelief at his Luna. He watched as she helpless started to cry.

“ This can’t be our daughter! You all have made some kind of mistake! Bring me my real daughter and take this thing away!!” Sylvia screamed and sobbed so much she had to be sedated. Samuel felt helpless and knew this would be an uproar amongst the pack elders.

With his wife asleep, Sam sat in a chair just looking at his daughter. He knew this was their child but he also didn’t know why she looked this way. His heart and mind were at war over the whole situation. He knew the elders would be here soon as per tradition to meet the new alpha family member. Samuel finally gave up with all his thinking and got a nurse to take the baby to the nursery for now.

~~~~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being as the birth was late at night the elders went down to the hospital early the next morning. All eight elders headed up to the labor ward to meet the new little wolf. Upon entering the floor they were all confused by the uncomfortable glances the nurses were giving.

Jackson the pack Beta was already there outside the door of Sylvia’s room.

Elder Marie approached him. “Beta Jackson,” she greeted as he bowed to her respectfully.

“Are the Alpha and Luna ready for us,” Marie asked.

“Um yes they are, please follow me,” Jackson said leading them into the large private hospital room.

Sylvia was on the bed looking upset and a little disheveled, while Samuel was by the window holding the swaddled baby close to him.

“Elders please come in, we have some things to discuss,” Alpha Sam said with a tense voice. He walked over to the elders to show them the baby in his arms. All eight of them let out a shocked gasp when they got a look at the child.

“Did the hospital make a mistake?,” Elder Gabriel asked.

“No, we checked already,” replied Alpha Samuel in a monotone voice.

Sylvia was crying silently on her bed and some of the elders gave her a questioning glance. Sam knew what they must be thinking and interjected.

“My wife and your Luna did nothing nefarious! We asked them to run a DNA test to prove that’s the case, the results will come later today. In the meantime I want researchers looking into what the legends might say this means,” Samuel boomed. He handed the baby off the Sylvia, whom just cried more looking at her daughter. With that all the elders left the room and Beta Jackson was sent to get the research in order.

~~~~~~~~****************~~~~~~~~~~

At about noon that day the baby and Sylvia were ready to be discharged and the DNA results had come in. It was confirmed to the elders and to the couple that this baby was theirs.

Upon getting ready to be discharged a nurse came in to talk to Sylvia while Samuel was out.

“Excuse me Luna Sylvia, we just need you guys to fill out the birth certificate information. Just what her name will be and your signature.”

Sylvia sat on the bed and stared at her daughter in the car seat. She couldn’t help but think about everything that’s happened in the short time this baby’s been born. People started even questioning her loyalty to her mate and she started building resentment for this tiny child.

Sylvia bit her lip as her feelings started boiling up, in a slight fit she snatched the paperwork from the nurse. She put down the first things that popped in her mind hoping slightly that this name would brand her daughter an outsider.

She wrote down the name

- Claudette Josephine Margery Cain-

Over the few months after Claudette was born, Sylvia tried everything to have another baby girl. She had refused to focus on taking care of Claudette at all and had even hired someone to nurse the baby.

Finally she got pregnant again with a baby girl and almost 11 months after Claudette’s birth Sylvia got her baby girl.

This baby looked exactly like her parents and older brother. Her big round eyes making her look like a doll. Sylvia couldn’t have been more ecstatic about finally having the daughter she dreamed about. The baby was given the name Samantha to signify the Luna’s love for her Alpha. Samantha was doted on along with Sebastian while Claudette was left with servants all the time.

Overtime Claudette grew up and the treatment she received became worse, even physical. The research into her appearance was interpreted as that she’s going to cause something to happen to the pack. Eventually all the servants that cared for Claud even a little were dismissed, so soon she had nobody. Alone in how she grew up, taking care of herself and fighting to survive her family’s and pack’s abuse.
