LUNA KING: A FEMALE ALPHA CHRONICLES

Ava’s Pov “Caroline with Adrian and finally, Ava is to be paired with Alpha Zeke. That will be all for today,” Mr. Dominic, our Biology teacher said and immediately, the bell rang signaling the close of school whilst I glanced at Alpha Zeke who maintained a stoic, unreadable face. “Don't forget to come prepared for your project tomorrow,” he added as everyone exited the room in a pile except me. I needed to make sure the coast was clear before stepping out and when I felt everyone had left, I packed my back bag and strode to my locker, hoping Caroline and her lackeys would have gone. “Boo!” I jumped on hearing her voice while she burst into a fit of laughter. “Ca… Caroline…” I stuttered, adjusting my glasses, fear slowly seeping in. “Was wondering when you were gonna leave the class so we could have fun, right girls?” They all giggled, making me uncomfortable. What fun means to Caroline means hell to me. “I… I… I should go.” I made an attempt to leave but she blocked me. “Not so fast, loser. You can't leave without me having my fun, now, can you?” “Car… Caroline… please… I would like to leave… please… I…” I was a stuttering mess, giving them more reason to laugh. Aside from the fact that I needed to leave to avoid another episode of bullying, I needed to get back home early or else, I'll face the wrath of Aunt Kathy. After she had regained herself, she ordered; “Anne, Florence, strip her!” My mouth fell open in trepidation. This was definitely the worst kind of maltreatment she had ever motioned my way and I knew if they stripped me, they would take a video of me and send it to the school portal. That can't happen… that shouldn't happen. I took a few steps backwards with the two girls approaching me. Seeing as they blocked the exit of the school, I attempted to run but the door swung open and I heard his voice. “Caroline, Alpha Zeke's waiting,” Beta Adrain said and she immediately became a weak baby, acting all baby-ish and quite irritating as she played with her blonde hair on hearing his name “Okay. Come on girls,” she said and they all receded. I heaved a sigh of relief and a blush crept on my face. My crush just saved me like a knight in the shining armor would. I know he didnt save me himself but I can't help but think he saved me. I picked my homework textbooks from my locker and started my way home in glee. Today had been a great day, not only was I saved by the mesmerizing Alpha Zeke, I was paired with him for our Biology project tomorrow. My wolf, Louve, jumped in excitement within me while I giggled. However, my feelings churned as I stood in front of our house in fear. “What. The. f**k. Took. You. So. Long!” My stepsister, Abigail exclaimed immediately I entered the house, making me flinch. “I… I had a little…” “Shut up!” She cut me off and I jumped in fear. Why does she love screaming and why can't she get her s**t done herself? “You were supposed to help me with my homework before you go to work and you try to come back late? f*****g omega!” “You could have simply done it yourself then,” I muttered under my breath but she caught it. “What?! Did you hear that mom?” She asked my stepmother who was walking out of the kitchen with a cup of tea in her hand. “Hear what?” Aunt Kathy asked, sipping her tea but before Abigail could say anything, she continued, “Imp, go get dressed for work. I need you to make enough money for us tonight. We are going on a vacation and you will get me the money for it,” she said, looking at me condescendingly. I nodded and went to the basement to pack my bag for the night. This was my life. My daily life - a student at day and a stripper at night. Aunt Kathy made sure I worked my ass off to give her and Abigail the life they live; a life of affluence. It had been this way since father died, leaving us with nothing but debt, thanks to Aunt Kathy who in a bid to live a classy life, milked all of father's wealth and even put us in debt until he died of a heart attack. I had tried to run away but everytime, Aunt Kathy caught me with the help of the Pack Guards and then, she would starve me for weeks until she assumed I had learnt my lesson which sadly, I did. So, I embraced my life as a slave in my father's house, doing chores or stripping for money. ‘It's going to be alright,’ Louve said inside me. ‘You know it'll never be alright, not even the Moon Goddess can save us from this hell.’ ‘She could, Ava. Imagine you meet your mate today. I mean, today's your eighteenth birthday, remember? And it will be full moon soon, which means, you could meet him soon and he could save us,’ ‘Uhmmm… I don't know about that, Louve.’ ‘Just have a little faith, will you?’ “Ava!” Frederick’s voice brought me out of my conversation with my wolf. “Hi, Frederick,” I said to my manager who was so kind and thoughtful. I was already at the club and it was already dark. “I have a special gig for you and it's a private session with a high class client.” I shook my head no on hearing the private session part. Private sessions don't always end up nicely and I wasn't even in the right frame of mind for that right now. Besides, I could be one of those girls who end up being molested. Also, it's almost a full moon and my senses might be heightened to see my mate, so, I want to keep my virginity for him. As if understanding my fears, he said, “I understand anything could happen to you in there and it was my fault for not taking caution and care for my girls but I'll definitely look out for you. All you need to do is to ring the safety button in there and the guards will come running.” I was still skeptical about it until he added; “Besides, they're paying ten times your daily pay and an extra tip for the best stripper I have. You and I know you are the best. Come on, Ava, you know you need this money.” He was right, I need the money and so, I agreed with the decision that I could ring for his help. I changed into my stripper clothes and high block heels, then I applied a beautiful make up, gulped a glass of whiskey for confidence and walked to the room for the private session. I walked in with my composure and confidence intact but immediately I entered, I turned around to leave on seeing those I was supposed to entertain. “Wait! Isn't that…” a voice started from behind me as I halted in my trail. Suddenly, I began to feel a pull from behind me. It was so strong that Louve danced, jumped and begged to be let out as the creamy vanilla scent filled my nose, alluring and enticing. I was certain it was due to the full moon. “Mate!” I heard his voice and my eyes widened. Oh no, no, no. “What? She's your mate?!” Caroline exclaimed, then she walked up to me and turned me over to face them. “Ava?!” Her face contoured with shock. “This weak thing is your mate?” She asked, looking between me and Alpha Zeke while his friends laughed hysterically. This was extremely embarrassing and scary, scary because I didn't know what would happen to me, especially as he scowled at me. “And she's even a stripper?” Caroline scoffed as she eyed me, making me uncomfortable in her gaze. “You can't be serious. There's no way she would be our Luna. She's just a mere omega and a stripper at that,” beta Adrian said in between laughter. “She's not even fit to breathe the same air you breathe, sire,” Gamma Luke added. I was torn as I saw him nod in affirmation and then he said, “I don't know what the Moon Goddess was thinking to mate me with you, but you know I can never be with you. So, just do your job.” My mouth went agape and I wondered if he was the same person I have had a huge crush on. Yes, I know I had heard several hideous stories about how cold, cruel and inhumane he was but I chose not to believe it. I chose to see the good in him but here he was, treating me like trash. “What are you waiting for?” Caroline barked and I jumped, walking up to the pole to dance on it. Following the rhythm of the song that was already playing, I wiped off the tears that threatened to fall off my eyes as I went into action. I danced. Within a few minutes, Luke and Adrian walked up to me, spraying me dollars and touching me disgustingly. All these while, Alpha Zeke was busy, kissing and smooching Caroline who was overly excited. I couldn't do anything other than to endure this torture and as fate could have it, the one hour they paid for ellapsed. Slowly, they walked out of the room one at a time with the help of their butlers and guard as they were all drunk except Zeke who walked up to me and looked me dead in the eyes. He seemed to be unfazed by the alcohol he had taken. “I wonder what sort of games the Goddess thinks she's playing, however, you're nothing but a slut whose existence is lesser than the maids I have in my abode,” he started, walking slowly towards me. It was bad enough that he sat there, having a blast with Caroline and having no care for how his friends were molesting me, but now… now he still wants to add salt to my injury? What on earth did I ever do to make him hate me so much? Why was he hurting me so badly. “I, Alpha Zeke Adolphus, reject you w***e, Ava Adams as my mate,” he added, towering over me as he glared at me condescendingly, crushing me, making me clutch onto my chest. The pain was excruciating. He used his hands to push a strand of my hair behind my ears, looking me dead in the eyes as my tears flowed like a river. Then, he held my neck tightly, strangling me and then he did something I never imagined he could do. He smashed his lips on mine, kissing me roughly before breaking it, abruptly. “If you dare to appear anywhere close to me, that would be the end of you.” I looked up to him, eyes widened and still in pain but I couldn't stop the thousands of questions that flooded my mind, one of them being; What was that about?
