Luna of the Golden Moon

Sickness

"Kyle!!!" I didn't know why I was crying for him to get out. I didn't believe for a second that Caleb wouldn't tear him to pieces if he got hold of him, wanting to show just how angry he was over his former Beta, the first one, even trying to lure me away from the pack land, and I had willingly followed!

"Kyle, you need to leave, right now!" I wasn't going to stay inside the bedroom, getting dressed fast in one of my dresses, my heart was beating so fast, scared to death that my mate would get hurt, or that their fighting was not what I wanted!

"Kyle, can you even hear me? I said run!" My voice was desperate, feeling the hard nausea that was slamming me back against my own stomach, hurdling down the bathroom and breathing heavily, praying to the moon goddess that my mate didn't kill Kyle.

He was the only one that understood what it was like to be me, and I didn't sleep with me. There was no way I would betray Caleb like that!

I had just taken another deep breath, got out of the bathroom, ready to start calling my allies. Kyle was an Alpha, but he wasn't Caleb, who was fast and cunning, even cruel if you believe the rumors circulating the wooden palace like I couldn't hear them, breaking my heart since he was a good mate. He just thought that I needed to be protected by the only guy who cared for me, about my feelings more than my mate!

"Emilia, enough," I whined, hearing the sharp voice inside my head, telling me to be quiet when I bowed my head down, turning my head slowly, ashamed because I felt just how annoyed the man who was demanding that I stop calling out for a traitor was.

"I'm sorry, please… Head Alpha…" I said, not really meaning it. Still, it sounded better than just telling him that I didn't think Kyle deserved to be punished, not even when he was hurt and clearly just wanted revenge for me picking Caleb instead of him as my mate, the final straw that broke him.

"Leave it, since you are shouting over the entire pack just how much you want that Beta lover of yours to survive…" I gasped, still kneeling with my hands on the floor and my eyes on the floor, like he was standing in this bedroom and not down in the head alpha office, giving me a scoff for acting shocked over his suggestion. I didn't sleep with Kyle, and Caleb had forgiven me for running away, and we had made up for it, and the rest was none of his business!

"Oh, that is sweet, no wonder Delta Vivian has a soft spot for you…" Alpha Terrance chuckled like it was amusing, someone caring for another person and not just commanding people to stop having feelings and ridicule if you displayed any!

"..and Caleb, if he was smart, he should have torn that mark out of your neck, being unfaithful to your Alpha, shame since I did want you to become his mate when I saw you. Rosalie was always so gullible feeling I would care about the rules, and she took that bait, coming to the wedding, and it was just to easy…" Alpha Terrance's proud voice made every hair on my body stand up.

He did what?? Lured my mother here, so Caleb could have me as his mate? No! No, no way it would happen. He hated me, hated that Caleb had shown up that night with me holding hands, he didn't even know I was Alpha before Caleb made me shift before him!

"Yes, of course, my darling niece, you were the perfect choice for my legacy, and Caleb always assumed I would want Beta Katarina…. Well, to be honest, the Alpha part I didn't see coming, but… well… I'm not unhappy with how it all turned out…" my uncle was pausing, making his words sink inside my head, closing my eyes, and still having my head down, feeling the sickness showering over me again,

"My parents, where are they?" I wanted some answers, and Kyle and Caleb still didn't answer me calling them, making me even more scared of what would happen if I was left here alone, with him, the big bad wolf who never showed his cards and always played to win, and right now he was telling me just how easy it had been to get my mother here, since she loved this place, even if she couldn't stand him.

"Oh, Rosie? I have no idea…" He didn't sound amused, more annoyed now when I lifted my head, sick of standing here and doing nothing, my chest hurting from how much I hated him, I hated Alpha Terrance, and I was sick of hiding it. He took my life, and he laughed at my pain, made me suffer to become something I didn't want to be, the perfect Luna to his perfect Alpha heir.

"Liar!" I was snapping it back, my eyes shifted, and I was breathing heavier, still feeling sick from getting my period. Caleb's harsh aggression was echoing through my sore body. I just took a stand against him, the most powerful and most uncaring Alpha in the surrounding area.

"Luna." I heard the somber voice of the Beta who had knocked on my door, making me stare in shock, not really knowing what was going to happen since it was the middle of the night, the moon was full and Caleb, my mate, was out and hunting the only other living soul who would protect me against the man who was calling me, not even using his own voice, but of the Beta standing outside my door, waiting to escort me to his head.

"Caleb, oh goddess…" I was whispering it out loud in the darker room and closing my eyes again, this time fast and trying to wipe away the fast tears spilling over, since I knew the moment that Caleb lost, no matter if it was against Kyle, or anyone else, Alpha Terrance would have my faith sealed, uncle or not.

"Let's go, Luna, the head is waiting." I made another whimper, hearing the dark voice not having the patience for me, when I walked towards the mirror, staring at myself for a few seconds, my blue eyes giving back hopelessness. My blond hair fell down onto the dress before getting up and starting to open the door, facing three big Betas all staring at me, not even trying to cover up the fact that they were supposed to respect me, care for me, and not just see me as this cheating stupid girl who had no place to be their new Luna along their Alpha.
