Luna Sofia: The Omega Rise To Power

Chapter 23: Her Regrets.

Vanassa pov:

The past few days, the pack house has been a mess, and the Luna is trying to manage everything and put things in order. The alpha has been having constant meetings with the elders, demanding to know what Damian plans to do about the new development.

Honestly, I actually hope things work out between Sofia and Damian. But given what I've done to her, I'm not sure I'll ever be forgiven.

I can't stand Princess Beth; she's super mean. A few times, she's tried to take out her anger on me, trying to play games with me. But I made her understand that I'm not someone to be messed with.

Things haven’t been easy since I got demoted, and I can't help but wonder if maybe I went too far in my anger.

I wasn't always like this. Everything changed when I heard my parents argue one night about how my father was going to leave my mother and me for Sofia’s mother. She's my half-sister.

When I found out my father was actually going to leave, abandoning my mom and me for her, I was so angry and jealous. Everyone thinks my father doesn't like Sofia or is ashamed of her, but the truth is, he loves her a lot and always protects her in his own way.

My grandmother, before she died, Sofia was her entire world. A few times, when I visited, she didn't even pay me any attention. When I asked her, she'd say, "Vanessa, child, you have a father and mother who love you and give you all the attention. Sophia has no one except me, so it's only natural that I give her my full love and attention."

That added to my anger, and I took it out on Sofia. Sometimes, I wonder if I could have done things differently.

My wolf, Vespera, hasn't been in support of my treatment towards Sofia, telling me I might regret my actions one day. The fact that she's suffering from something she didn’t do hurts a lot, because she never really supported my treatment. She's always been protective of Sofia, and now she's suffering because of me.

I haven't shifted into my wolf for a few months now, and it's seriously affecting her, she barely talks anymore.

I was about to enter my room when I heard my name being called from behind. I turned around and found Tracy and Taftney walking towards me. My heart skipped a beat; they haven’t spoken to me in a while. I waved at them, smiling, and asked how they were doing. But they still had cold expressions on their faces.

Taftney said, "We just wanted to talk to you one last time before we leave."

I was shocked. "Where are you going? What's going on?"

Tracy explained, "Our punishment is ending in a week, and after that, we're moving to our grandparents' pack to start over."

I looked at them, stunned. "You're leaving me? We've always been friends..."

Tracy cut me off saying. "Vanessa, you've never considered us your friends. We were your minions, you command us to do things for you. You treated us like slaves, snapping your fingers and expecting us to jump."

Taftney added, "We did things we didn't want to do, Vanessa, because we thought we were holding onto the childhood memory of being friends. But you've changed. You almost killed your own sister."

I didn't realize I was crying until I touched my cheek and felt the wetness. Tracy and Taftney looked at me with a mix of sadness and pity.

"We've already asked Sofia for forgiveness, and she forgave us," they said. "Maybe if you talk to your sister and apologize, she might forgive you too. You need to bring your pride down, Vanessa. You're not shifting, and it's affecting you."

Their words hit home. I felt a pang of regret and longing for the old days.

"I've always considered you two my friends," I said, my voice shaking. "I'm going to miss you guys so much. I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you. It wasn't my intention to hurt you."

Tracy's expression softened. "Whatever it is, you have to work on it, Vanessa. Get your sister to forgive you. You have to change, for yourself, for Sofia, and for us."

Get your sister to forgive you. After saying that, they both hugged me and left. As they turned to leave, I felt a sense of loss and a glimmer of hope. Maybe it wasn't too late to change, to make amends, and to find my way back to the person I used to be.

I went back into my room, took a shower, and decided to rest for a few minutes. I laid on the bed; I couldn't sleep. My mind was wandering all over the place, thinking about what Tracy and Taffy told me, I'm going to miss them so much.

I really wish things were different between Sofia and I, but a lot of damage has been done. And if she ever forgives me... Honestly, I'm not ready to ask for that forgiveness yet because I think forgiveness means I have to tell her the truth, and I'm not ready to tell her the truth yet. That's not my place to say; my parents are the ones to tell her the truth, not me.

I decided to head downstairs to the kitchen. Maybe I can sneak in something to eat.

When I entered the kitchen, this omega was packing some dishes, and she looked at me and said, "Ah, just the person I was looking for."

I groaned inwardly, wondering what she wanted. This particular omega, Meggy, hasn't been making things easy for me since I became an omega. Well, I don't really blame her; when I was at the top, I used to make her life a living hell too. So I just feel like this is her way of getting revenge on me.

I looked at her and asked her what she wanted, and she said, "Oh, nothing much. The head omega instructed me to tell you to take these dishes to the German's cabin."

I looked at her, wondering which German she's talking about, and I asked her, "Which German?"

And she said, "German Mark, of course."

My heart skipped a minute, and I said, "Hell no. There's no way I'm going to that Monster’s cabin at this time of the night."

And then she looked at me and said, "Listen, this particular dish was prepared by German Mark's mother, and if she mind-link him asking if she received the package and he said no, it's going to cause a problem.

We always deliver this to him every night; it's important that he has it before he sleeps. So you have to deliver it.

I said, "I will never... There's no way I'm going to his cabin. He hates me; if I get there, he might probably kill me."

And she said, "Well, that's true. He might probably kill you, but who cares? The head omega instructed that you take it to him."

I said, "You're doing this on purpose, right? You're doing this to get back... I mean, for what I did to you."

She said, "I have no idea what you're talking about, vanassa.

Now, up you go!

And with that, she left the kitchen, leaving me standing there, confused.

I packed up... I picked up the paper bag and headed out.

While going there, I was nagging and mourning to myself. My heart was beating so fast. The truth is, Damian, Josh, and Mark are really terrifying, and they have a very deadly reputation behind them. But Mark is on another level; he's unpredictable, he's silent, he's like the quiet one. People see him as the weak one in the group, but he's the most deadly one. No one sees him coming when he decides to attack. He's silent, wreaks fear in people's bodies, and those markings on his body... Those tattoo markings on his body always scares me. He always gives me this fright whenever I see him.

And now I'm to deliver this to his cabin.

After walking for a few minutes, I got to the cabin. Very cosy cabin, he has a few houses around the pack ground, and also outside the city. But sometimes, he chooses to stay in his cabin alone. Rumor has it that he's dealing with the loss of his mate. That’s not my story to tell.

I stood in front of the door, contemplating whether to knock or just drop the package and run. I decided against dropping it; that would probably mean he'd kill me when he finds out. I knocked for a few seconds, but there was no response. I decided to push the door; it was open.

I said, "Well, the unpredictable German is definitely not scared of anyone. That's why his door is open.

Oh my God, what am I doing in this madhouse? He's evil, pure devil, the walking dead wolf himself.

Immediately, I dropped the package on a table and was about to run out when I received a mind link from Maggie.

She said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Make sure you dish out the food for him, and the herbs, put them inside the fridge. He has to get cold before he drinks them."

I started preparing the table. Why was I doing this again? Oh right Maggy hates me that’s why.

I heard the bedroom door open, and Mark walked out, wet from his bath, with water dripping from his hair. I couldn't help but stare at him, admiring the tattoo on his body. Despite being a monster, Mark is a very attractive man.

As I stood there, admiring his sexy body, he spoke up, his voice cold, "Are you done feeding your eyes?

His voice sent shivers down my spine. "I was instructed to bring this to you," I explained, trying to regain composure. "But don't mind me, I'm leaving now."

He spoke up, his voice firm. "Stop."

I froze, and he approached me slowly, eyes pinned on me. "You expect me to eat what you brought?" he asked, suspicion in his voice.

I shook my head. "I didn't cook it. Your mother did."

He raised an eyebrow. "You could've poisoned it for all I know."

I swallowed, scared. "I...I didn't."

He said, "I want you to test everything you brought before I eat it. I don't trust you."

After testing the food, I looked up at him. "Can I leave now?"

He snickered. "No you can’t. The omega didn't tell you how this works, did she?"

I shook my head, and he continued, "You are to stand and watch me eat until I finish."

A few minutes later, he was done eating. I cleared the table, cleaned the plate, and went to him. "I'm ready to leave," I said.

He nodded, walking me to the door. As I opened it, he pushed it shut, locking it, and moved closer to me. His breath on my face, eyes locked on mine, he asked in a cold, deadly voice, "Vanessa, what exactly happened to you? Why did you become so evil? And why do I sense such darkness around you?"
