The Door

The door opens, and I immediately fixate my eyes on the floor, I hear the sound of heels walking towards me, and I groan in my head in double frustration. Great! Just great! I get the dynamic duo of doom for dinner!

“well, well, well, if it isn’t the pack slut.” Penelope says. She’s the alpha’s chosen mate. Chosen as in he picked her for himself and rejected the one the moon goddess gave him which is me. I don’t say anything or look up. She kneels in front of me and grabs my face forcefully just as the other woman did earlier. There’s hate and venom and all things wrong in her eyes. I try to avoid her gaze and decide to the woman who brought me here instead. There’s a satisfied smirk on her face, she must be feeling really pleased with herself. What better way to feel shitty about your life than to make someone else feel shittier than you feel?

“Luna!” The woman greets. “I caught her stealing food from the kitchen.”

“oh really? Was she now?” she says sarcastically.

“t-they we-were le-left overs.” I say trying to defend myself and get out of this sticky situation even though I very well know it never ends well for me either way.

Penelope gasps and looks at the woman. “did you hear that? They were just leftovers.” She says turning to look back at me. the woman shakes her head in mock sympathy for me.

“now if you eat all the leftovers, what will the racoons eat?” she says.

I look down not saying anything. “don’t you know were supposed to save all life, how can we do that when you eat what’s meant for them.” She still says with mock sympathy on her face.

I still say nothing to that and she slaps me across the face again. I feel a stinging pain first before it just becomes numb. I’ve gotten slapped more times than I can count that it doesn’t really hurt anymore, it just stings and then the pain stops.

“I wonder if you’ll talk when I let the alpha know what’s going on?”

I immediately look up at her and shake my head no my eyes wide in fear. “what do you think?” she asks looking at the woman who brought me here. “should we inform the alpha?” Penelope asks. This was torture and she knew it.

“I think you should Luna.” The woman says nodding her head vigorously in the affirmative.

“good answer candy.” Penelope says standing up and walking back to the office. “actually, it’s Karen.” The woman that brought me says after her. I almost laugh at that, I would if I wasn’t about to get beaten to a pulp. You do all this for attention and they don’t even care enough to get your name correctly. I hear the thundering steps of alpha Kayden; his boot clad feet stop directly in front of me while Penelope stands behind him.

“I thought I instructed you to always be out of sight?” he bellowed out. I don’t respond and simply look down awaiting my fate. I hear him pull out his belt and there’s a moment of silence. I see some pack warriors rush upstairs to where the current scene was about to unfold.

“take her to the dungeon and tie this ungrateful b***h up. I want her hanging.” He says with so much anger you would think I was a rogue. “yes alpha.” The pack warriors say at the same time. They both dive in and take me by my arms dragging me to the dungeon. I say nothing, I don’t yell, I don’t scream. What good is any of that going to do anyway? It’s simply going to make him angrier and he’ll lash out more at me.

We get to the dungeon and they chain my hands with silver so I was dangling and I’m trying to keep my weight balanced. The searing pain from the silver becomes unbearable and I scream thrashing around trying to break free. I’m in so much pain that I don’t even hear the alpha and Penelope come in. his belt on my body makes me scream louder.

“shut up! You’re disturbing the rats.” Penelope says with anger. Alpha strikes me with his belt a couple more times and I scream every time it makes contact with my skin; my body hasn’t completely healed from last nights lashes. He suddenly stops. “can I take over?” Penelope asks making lovey dovely eyes at him. He says nothing but simply hands her the belt. She takes it from him and tests out her strike on the wall before she suddenly lashes out at me. I bite down on my lip so as not to scream; she strikes me again but this time harder than before. I can’t hold my scream in anymore and scream as she hits me. I can feel blood trailing down my body and she strikes again but this time it lands on my face. I feel blood trail down the side of my cheek at that.

“enough!” alpha says. I’m breathing heavily as I dangle right to left, back to front on the chain. “why do you always go easy on her? Do you still love her?” Penelope suddenly turns angrily to him.

He rolls his eyes at her,” if I did, I wouldn’t pick you as my Luna.”

“then why haven’t you gotten rid of her?”

“soon enough, when she stops being of use, we’ll dispose of her. The little runt in her care is not old enough to do the things she does, once she’s of age we’ll get rid of this b***h here.”

“you’re right, we do need someone to make breakfast and other things. I hate to admit it but her food actually tastes pretty great.”

“now can we go.” He says his voice turning seductive.

“why don’t we do it here, in front of her.”

“anything you want my Luna.” He says.

I close my eyes and try to block my ears to the sound of them going at it right in front of me. he absolutely has no care about how it affects me, he doesn’t hear the sound of my heart breaking with each moan and groan from them. Just kill me already.
