Rise of the Luna (completed)

8-Secrets

- Finn’s POV -

Instead of going to the main pack house where only the family of the Alpha may stay, I went to the east wing of the pack house where our function rooms, meeting rooms and recreational room were. Since a run was out of the question, I decided to go to the recreational room to blow off some steam on the PlayStation. Before I opened the door, I could hear some pack members in the room talking about my mate.

“Did you see Kayla’s brother? Who would have thought that such a loser would have a dashing brother like Leyton.”

“Oh please, have you not seen future Alpha Finn? I wonder who would be his Luna or maybe he has already found that lucky b***h!”

“Yeah, well, whatever it is that you girls are thinking about, I think we need to be careful now that Leyton is back. If that cursed loser goes crying to him, we’d be in a lot of trouble.”

One of the girls laughed and said, “That mute loser? She can’t even talk, good luck with complaining! Besides, we never left any scars, so who would believe her? Wolfless, mute and cursed, argh she disgusts me!”

Anger, pain, and worry ran through my mind before being overcome by disgust, at myself for feeling those feelings and at Kayla for being even worst than I had thought. Before I could control myself, I kicked opened the door and shouted at the three teenagers in the room to get out of my sight. The two girls and one guy bowed their heads in submission before scurrying out of the room. They weren’t even ranked members, I could smell it and they had the guts to talk about Kayla like this.

“She’s not worthy!! Do you finally get that now?!” I screamed at my wolf, needing him to understand what I was going to do next.

After the chat with Leyton ended somewhat uncomfortably, we went back to the pack house. I made an excuse that I needed to catch up on my homework and went back to my room. It was Saturday so the Alpha and Luna were in the city, leaving the main pack house quiet and lonely. I hope that Leyton has something to do and won’t prod me for my answers.

Even if he had, I didn’t know what I should do or say. I was afraid that he would confront those kids, especially the Smith sisters and their cousin. We went to the same school and two of them, Bella and Nate, were in the same year as me so we saw each other a lot. It started with name calling but one day after school, Bella and her sister, Clara dragged me to the girl’s bathroom and started hitting me in the stomach, cursing me for being able to live in the main pack house as if I belonged to the Alpha’s family. I cried and shook my head desperately but they only stopped after I stopped moving.

I don’t know why I didn’t tell anyone. Maybe in the beginning I was afraid that no one would believe me and now I’m afraid of what they had threatened to do if I had told anyone. But now I knew that I couldn’t tell anyone, if not they would put those photos of me on the Internet and then I’d surely be ruined. A sob rocked my body as that thought wouldn’t stop swimming in my head. My body started shaking and I tried to hug myself to calm myself down. I am special, I’m loved, I’m ok, I kept repeating in my head, willing those negative thoughts to go away.
