LUNA’S REVENGE: Rise Of The Rejected

Chapter 9

I never really knew someone could care me that much. He had keen interest in some sort of way that I could tell. His face went sad as he swallowed the lump in his throat being that his Adams-apple gave him away. I continued my story before I got carried away.

“The worst part of everything is that my father knew but he told me to give him a little more time. He would come around.

“He saw every mark I earned from his beating, every hickey on my neck from his r**e, every bruise I got from his abuse. My dad saw it. He wept sometimes but by the time he wanted me to quit, I was used to it already.

“Even Annabella, my safe haven in the palace, wasn’t so safe anymore. There was little to nothing she can do. Abel loved to see me belittled to some menial labour that was the duty of the place maids. So he forced me to mop the floors while matching down with his bitches and calling me all sorts of names and labels…

“He would ask me to kneel to serve him, he would ask me to make a steak after beating me up so my body doesn’t even get to recover.

“ I was so scared of him. Not because of what he would do to me, but what he would do to my father. I knew he had something on him but I don’t just know what. So to every of his humiliation on demand, I obliged without grudge.

“In his absence, Annabella would take up the chores and appoint them duly. She would run me a bath, stitch me up on some occasions and nurse me back to health, making sure I rested while at it.

“I know I may be wrong to say he was scared of Annabella, but I can sure say without a doubt that he was on his toes whenever he’s around her. Whatever their deal was, I only knew that he was not as severe as he would usually be whenever Annabella was around. Well, she’s no woman you want to mess with anyway…..”

“Oh my God. I would never have guessed you saw the half of this”, Adrienne finally said after having an ajar mouth for a minute.

“Well, the story goes on…

“Abel went as far as humiliating and disrespecting me publicly. The members of his parliament had no regard for me whatsoever. I couldn’t go out in public without the fear of being thrown a rotten apple. I was gossiped and insulted to my face by the pack. Be he made me sit and take it while he enjoyed watching it.

“He almost cut me off from my best friend by going as far as banishing her from coming to see me. But Trina was strong headed for a reason. She never feared him even for a bit. She wrote to me and expected my response. It’s the best we could do. But on some days, I got lucky enough to have him too drunk and passed out on the Hallway to even notice that I had escaped for a few hours to go see Trina.

“Our bond was often never consensual. He approached me with aggression even if I was willing to offer him freely. He loved that I was subjected to him. He loved seeing me at his mercy, especially during s*x. I was only a s*x object to him and Every time he used me to satisfy his urges, it hurts so bad. Not just the penetration and me still being sore days after but his mark on me.

“Whenever he was on his sexcapades, I felt it. The moment he was laying with another woman, his marked literally burns me. He got to find out and went on his s****l sprees with multiple women at a time why I was in agony, not just of heartbreak but of the burn of his mark on me…

“Didn’t mark me because he loved me, he marked me so I couldn’t leave him. He marked me not as his mate but his property. My wolf as refused to bond with his wolf, which is another chaos all by itself.

“And he enjoys the physical pain of his burns on me. He loves thr effect. He loves to see me sick. That man hated me, Damn” tears well Up my eyes on the realization that I took a lot of s**t from Abel

I sniffed and continued my story “I was going through physical, emotional, mental and s****l pain aside other things. But Abel didn’t seem to give a f**k. He was pleased I was going through it, afterall he put me through it.

“The last straw was when my dad died. Abel was ruthless . It’s easy to agree that he was even a happy about it. I have become his pawn that he could do as he pleases with me. I would never speak up for my self.

“He was opportuned to announce it to me. He must have hijacked the honor of breaking the news from whoever just to humiliate me. He gloated me. Told me I have nobody and nowhere to go. He went out with the boys and his women frolicking him while he ordered that I should make him a steak, his favorite meal of course, I was still yet to even fully receive the news of my father’s death.

“I decided I have had enough! I asked him to unmark me which he refused to till this day. He thought I dare not leave. I didn’t know when I moved to Trina’s place.

“He demanded for me and made the whole pack not accept me. They all denied me food and shelter in the cold of winter. Not even one soul could stand up for me. They denied me, spat on me, shamed me and called me names.

“It was so bad that the threats started to get to Trina and that’s when I decided I left the north for good.

“The next I know, a few weeks later, I having to talk about my life to someone for the very first time.

“W-w-wow! I am utterly speechless”, Adrienne finally said after holding his breath for too long. “This feels like it’s straight from a fictional book and you mean to tell me you went through this all by your delicate self? You really don’t judge a book by its cover”.

“Oh please, Adrienne, don’t flatter me. You have no idea what people go through. We all just wear a face and head for the day” I answered. “Oh my!” I gasped.

“What is it?” Adrienne replied quite shocked too.

“The Time!” I gestured in distress, “We spent the whole morning on this table. It’s past noon”

“And so?”

“What do you mean ‘and so’ ?”

“I mean and so what about the time?”

“Don’t you have a city to govern or something, Adrienne?”

“And miss out on the most interesting morning of my life? The city can wait”

My laughter was interrupted by one of the guards.

“Greetings sir, ma’am” he said with a bow.

“The regent Alpha sends for you” he said as he turned toward me.

“M-me?” I stammered looking for answers on Adrienne’s face.

“Precisely ma’am”.

“Ok, please tell the Alpha I would meet up with shortly, buy me some time while I brush up a bit “.

“You can take all the time you need, ma’am”

“Adrienne? What’s going on? I getting nervous”

“I wish I knew, but only father knows his interests. Don’t keep him waiting” That’s it? That’s the best I could get from Adrienne? Of course I couldn’t hide my disappointment when I left him at the table.
