Forbidden Luna

***Yneasia's POV*** I took a deep breath while staring at the mirror. Brown and perfectly coiffed hair were double-braided, and it revealed my strong and yet worried face. Hooded blue eyes stared into nothingness after checking my appearance, and another deep breath escaped from my lips before heading towards the door. I was on my way to the prison cell where my sister forfeited her life. As an omega, my sister and I were considered the lowest species in the Nightshade Pack. Some of the omegas automatically became servants but several others, who were gifted with a beautiful face, and luscious body, were required to become the Alpha's child-bearer. Being a servant could be a tiring job but it was safer. Unfortunately, my sister and I were both beautiful. Before reaching this age, I wanted to escape but how? I had no resources, and I just couldn't leave my sister behind. So, I stayed in the pack and waited for the day when the Alpha would summon me to his bed. When the news about my sister's death reached me, I was too stunned to speak! Inwardly, I knew the reason why she had to do that. Yes, it was a mortal sin to take her own life, but she was desperate for freedom. A freedom that could only be achieved through death! I wanted to curse at her but I couldn't! How could I? In fact, I was thinking of doing the same if ever I would be in her situation! As a child bearer, the Alpha would have s*x with us seven times in one week and if we don't get pregnant after that, we would be imprisoned for the rest of our lives! It was inhumane, but it was the norm in Nightshade Pack. No one dared to break the custom and risked the wrath of the elders or even the Alpha himself! I passed through the strict security in going to the dungeon, where the prison cells were located. The entrance to the dungeon was marked by a narrow pair of worn statues on a murky mountain top. A small, deteriorating room could be found beyond the pair of worn statues, and it was covered in ash and puddles of water. The paths leading further were twisted, and then I reached a dreadful area. I passed through numerous passages, some of which have collapsed and others seemed to go on forever. Ominous symbols abound, untouched by time and the elements, and as I took a step closer to inspect it, I heard faint sounds of footsteps behind me.  "State your name," the guard said angrily. He seemed to be in a foul mood over something but I didn't dare to ask him what it was about. I wet my bottom lip before responding to his inquiry, but he looked at me with lustful desire in his eyes. Maybe, if he didn't know that I was an omega and a child-bearer for the Alpha, he would try to do something evil to my body. The prison has its own rules and the Alpha was too busy to notice the irregularities committed by the guards. "Are you mute or something? I asked what your name is!" He screamed at me, and his loud voice reverberated inside the entire complex. "I am Yneasia Moonfall, sir, and I'm here to take my sister's belongings," I replied. Despite my frail frame, I stood gracefully in front of him, and he looked even more pissed!   "Pardon?" "I was informed that my sister killed herself and I had to take her belongings," I explained to the man whose brows were snapped together. I wondered if he was mad at me or if it was his normal appearance. "Ah, I see. Follow me," he ordered. While following him towards the prison cell holding my sister, I wrinkled my nose at his stench. He smelled terrible, and if it wasn't so harsh to say, he smelled like a rotten cadaver! As we progressed farther, there was limited light to the place. Well, what could I expect from a dungeon? I thought he wouldn't do something about it, but when he did, my eyes widened at the scene before me. I screamed out loud! For Pete's sake, I wasn't prepared to see my sister like that, and then a thought occurred to me. "Did she really kill herself?" I asked as soon as I noticed that she was just lying on a cot on a cold floor with just her nightgown. "Are you insinuating that we killed her?" He asked defensively. "No, it's not like that, sir. However, how did she die? I expected to see her hanging somewhere else," I informed the man who immediately stared daggers at me. "She probably took medicine to kill herself, who knows? Almost every woman who was sentenced to life suffered the same fate," he explained. I was not convinced, or maybe I was just trying to shift the blame for her death. She looked pitiful and while staring at her lifeless form, I was terrified. I didn't want to die like my sister but at the moment, my future remained bleak. I had s****l i*********e with the Alpha six times already but there was no sign that I would become pregnant anytime soon. Suddenly, I was worried about my survival. I only got one remaining chance to be impregnated by the Alpha! "Hey!" The guard smacked my arm to get my attention when I kept on staring at my dead sister. "You said you are going to take her things, so why are you still standing? Move!" He ordered. "Hmmm, what about her body? I want to give her a proper burial," I said. "Do you have a death wish? This woman defied the Alpha's order to suffer for the rest of her life and killed herself! Do you think the Alpha would allow you to give her a proper burial? No, it's not going to happen, Miss!" "But she is my sister!" I tried to argue with the guard but he suddenly slapped me. "Get a grip of yourself if you want to survive, woman!" His words seemed to be a warning or it was a form of concern, but I really had a bad feeling about my sister's death. "Can you leave me alone for a moment, please? I want to say some prayer for my sister," I told him, and he just nodded his head.  I waited until the guard was gone before I kneeled beside her body and touched her face. It was cold and lifeless. As I studied her body, I saw a lot of bruises on her skin. Some were old and some were probably new if I would judge the purple colouring of the bruises. When it comes to s*x, the Alpha was a savage beast, and he loved to torture us in bed. As much as I wanted to doubt the guard's words, I knew that it was probably the Alpha who caused the bruises on her pale skin. Tears welled up in the corner of my eyes while looking at my sister, and at that moment, I decided not to end up like her. After offering a prayer to her, I went to her belongings and placed the important ones in the bag. I was thorough in checking her things when I heard a commotion outside. Then, the guard suddenly showed up while panting for breath. I craned my neck and narrowed my eyes at him before asking. "What's wrong?" "The Alpha wants you right now!" He announced.
