A second chance

Chapter2

I am constantly torn from the memories of my mother each time Papa’s second mate, Aunt Aurora, who is now our Luna mistreated me.

You filthy thing, why aren't you in the training ground helping the warriors clean their weapons?

She growls out and punches me hard on my lips. As I slump against the floor in pain ,shaking in terror as I taste the metallic copper of my blood as my teeth cut

through my lips.

Before I can fully recover from her punches, she grabs my bony arm in a bruising grip and drags me through the stairs.

Then, she stops at the top of the stairs and kicks me down the stairs. I couldn't help but scream as I hit each on the way down.

I felt my body wheel down without stopping. When I came to a stop, I shakily got up trying to pull myself together before going to the training ground. I began attempting to pull myself together before moving to the training ground,

Suddenly, I felt a foot slam into my stomach, sending me outside. This time when I landed, my head hit the pillar of our house.

In a blurry vision, I saw my half-brother. Aunt Aurora’s son was smiling evilly at me.

Ever since I turned 18, without a wolf, I had been subjected to the riddle. Anyone can talk to me whichever way they please.

I became the errand boy in my pack, despite my father’s position as the Alpha. Aunt Aurora, Mama’s best friend, hated me for no reason.

She had a son, Andrea. after one year of becoming the Luna of our pack.

I thought I had gotten a brother and a friend but it turned out to be the opposite of what I had imagined.

Papa, on the other hand, was disappointed when I couldn't shift to my Wolf. But yet, he protects me the best way he can but he is not always available. He's always going to meetings and tending to other matters concerning our pack.

“I wish Mama was here” I cried.

My body is failing to listen to the voice in my head to get up. I feel something wrap itself in my hair and pull me through the ground of our pack to the training ground.

I try to grab the hand that is holding my hair as my legs and back repeatedly hit the stones painfully.

Finally, I am pulled forward and thrown to the training ground as the hand releases my hair, a few strands ripping out from my scalp.

Then, I am covered in bruises, bleeding, and unable to move. Several minutes later, I'm able to move my

Wounded body.

I made my way to where the warriors kept their weapons, grabbed one arrow and started sharpening it.

It took me a while to finish as I was too weak from my wounds and also starvation. I hadn't eaten in the last three days.

Unfortunately, I can't go back to my "room" afterward. I was warned by Luna not to come close until midnight especially when papa is away.

I knew something was off, but I hadn't placed it yet. So I had to visit Mama’s favourite place in the pack. “The garden”.

As soon as I entered the beautiful garden, the sweet memories of my mother filled my soul. I began to howl in pain, and in sorrow.

Alexander! I heard my name as I quickly turned. “Go and answer Luna’’ he said out of spite.

I immediately rushed inside the sitting area, I couldn't take it anymore if I got another beating this evening.

“Where were you? She asked. “I...” I was in the garden. I stammered.

“The worthless son remembers his useless mother” hahaha. She mocked. I was filled with rage.

“You can mock me all you want, maltreat me, but you do not have the right to mock mama”. I barked at her.

“He has grown some balls, “ right mom? Andrea stated. He started walking sluggishly towards me.

Once he got to where I was standing, he hesitated a bit before giving me a resounding slap that made me start bleeding through my nose.

I mistakenly pushed the chair close to Luna and it touched her. She lets out a screeching that makes my ears feel like they are going to bleed. I jerk back in shock as the sound seems to bounce around in my head.

"You fool! Do you want to injure me? Maybe you want to die!" The Luna screeching in my ear made me wince.

My cheek stings as I find myself on the floor. "You're so stupid! Now get out of here!" As I ran out, I bumped into my brother's girlfriend, she hissed and spat at my face.

I went back to the garden, feeling very hungry and tired. I almost passed out when I heard the soft voice of Yvonne.

Yvonne is the only girl who didn't isolate me. She still respects and cares for me and I Wonder why.

“Hey Alpha" she called. “Please don't let Luna hear you”. I imagined it. “Oh please,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Get up and eat your food

“Yvonne please, don't let Luna catch you. “I can take care of myself. “I don't want you getting into trouble because of me”.

She smiled and handed the food to me. I didn't waste any time as I dug in and ate every part of it.

She watched me eat with all smiles but the smiles were caught off when I felt Someone grab my hair painfully once again.

My body scrubbed on the stones outside till I was dragged inside.

I caught a glimpse of Yvonne being flogged for giving me food I guess. It hurts so much that she was getting this bad treatment because of me and I can't do anything to help her.

I was thrown into the dark cell as my punishment for eating without getting permission from Luna.

I hear the door of the cell close and lock, leaving me alone and with no way to escape. Laying on the dirty floor.

When the sound of the footsteps faded, I pulled myself onto my arms and dragged my head in between my thighs.

I felt the stinging in my eyes that pushed my tears away. I have been crying too much lately.

I am ready to give up on my sad, petty life. I do not know why the goddess allowed Mama to die and left me to suffer.

“Papa! Where are you? This pain and suffering is too much. I am tired, I want to die and join Mama.

I just want to be with her again.

"I am nothing more than the worthless son of an Alpha with no Wolf.

As I was falling into a restless sleep when I heard a familiar “Alexander”? Is that you? I got curious, the cell was dark, and I couldn't see anything. “Papa, is that you?”

Yes, my son.

I didn't know how to respond to this shocking revelation. “How can you be here? I followed the sound of his voice and I got to where he was sitting.

I hugged him, both of us now crying. “How could this happen to us? “ where did we go wrong? So many unanswered questions running through my head.

“Papa, what happened? “Who did this to? You’re the Alpha of the red blood pack.

Hmm..my son, I didn’t see this coming, I trusted the wrong people and it might lead to my early death.

I was curious to know who might have the guts to imprison an Alpha. “ Papa, who betrayed you like this?

Alpha of one of the most powerful packs in the werewolf clan, sitting

g on the old dirty floor of the prison walls chained like criminals. “Whoever did this must

have big guts.
