I snuck into the house, like a thief, making sure not to awaken my mother. She did not know that I had snuck out just hours ago. I looked at the silver clock above the arch , it was already 5am.
Jumping straight into the shower I scrubbed myself until the skin broke and droplets of blood oozed out. The pain from the bruising could not compare to the pain o felt inside.I dressed in my pajamas and headed straight for bed. Drawing the blinds shut, I drifted into a dreamless sleep.3months later.I spent three months of my life crying. Who would want a pregnant ,tainted woman like myself. I was spiralling down into a deep dark place. If it was not for the baby I carried in my womb, I would have ended my life.It broke my mother's heart when I finally found the courage within me to tell her the truth.I never went back to the mansion after that day. My mother,being a single parent was like a superhero but I felt the depth of her wound. She blamed herself for my misfortune." I have made arrangements for you to go to your aunt Tess in Canada." My mom told me." A fresh start will do you some good."I did not want to argue. Living here made me feel miserable,maybe a fresh start would bring peace to my life.I packed up and took the first flight to Canada. As I hopped of the plane ,the fresh air reached my lungs and the summer breeze brushed against my skin. I felt like a new person.No one here knew me or my story.I smiled as I took my luggage and walked to the entrance.A short stubby old lady stood holding a sign board with my name on it.As I walked towards her ,I realised it was aunt Tess. I hadn't seen her in years. I had only seen her a few times when she visited. She has aged out nicely. Her grey hair was almost silver. She was much older than mom but I didn't expect her to be looking much older several years later. Maybe Seth was right, I was niaive,I was still innocent and still a child.Aunt Tess squealed with excitement when I approached her."Look at you dear. You have grown up.""I hear we have a baby on the way!"I held my stomach out of instinct and lowered my head in shame."Now child. It doesn't matter how it happened. A baby is a blessing.""It's time to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back onto the saddle ,child. You cannot live your life grieving the past. As soon as you are settled in I will take you to the little coffee shop I own. You can work there . It will help keep your mind occupied. Maybe you might meet someone." Aunt Tess winked.I didn't want to meet anyone. Love wasn't for me anymore.As I jumped of the car, my jaw felt as if it had dropped to the ground. Aunt Tess lived in a mansion bigger than Seth's." Close your mouth child." Aunt Tess laughed." I will tell you all about it at dinner."I looked at the time, it was already past five in the afternoon. I was excited, since dinner would be soon. The curiosity was killing me.Hartley, the butler took my bags and led me to my room." Dinner will be served in a bit."I sprawled myself on the bed, looking up at the mural on the ceiling. It was so classy and vintage. The bed was soft, molding around my body.I felt as if I had died and gone to heaven and the little angels painted on the ceiling made it feel so realistic. I had to pinch myself.I freshened up and joined aunt Tess in the dining hall. It was as big as our entire home back in New Jersey.Julie served us a hot bowl of soup. The aroma made my eyes watery. It was strong."Eat it all up dear. It's good for the baby."I picked up my spoon and took in a small amount.It has a musky kind of taste with an occasional burst of egg.I smiled at aunt Tess, waiting for the story she was going to narrate ."Oh child, where do I begin.""How about this cool mansion." I burst out." Well you see, this is the family mansion. We are Luna's."" Wait. You must be joking aunt Tess. My mother is a servant to the Rollins family back in New Jersey. We can't be Luna's."" Your mom didn't tell you,now did she?" Aunt Tess asked a rhetorical question." Tell me what? If she was a Luna she wouldn't be working so hard ."" Well, she has always been full of pride. I had asked her to come back home but she refused. I am glad that she sent you." Aunt Tess smiled."But how?" I was now very curious."Well, child. When your mother was just about your age, she fell in love with a beta,your father. They eloped and was never heard off again. Your mother and I still kept in contact when she had you. Your grandparents had passed away about five years ago and I asked her to come back home. I had heard about the accident and the passing of your father and I just wanted your mom to come home. It would have been just like the old times." Aunt Tess's eyes glimmers in the light. I could see the memories tugging at her heart as she tried to hide a sniffle ." We are Luna's ,my child."I stared at aunt Tess for what seemed like a lifetime as I digested what she had told me." Finish up your soup before it gets cold. It's getting late. We have an early start tomorrow."I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but aunt Tess's words were still swimming in my head. This is a game changer for Seth. I am a Luna. He thought he could break my heart and get away with it but he can't . I won't let him. He will regret the day he had left me. Vengeance crept into my heart. I did not know how I was going to make him pay, but I was going to." Breakfast is ready," I heard aunt Tess's jovial voice from the dining hall.I was barely even dressed, I hurried as fast as I could almost tripping over my own feet."You should be careful. I don't want you getting hurt now.""Sorry aunt Tess." I said as I sat at the table .Taking a slice of toast I coated it with strawberry jam. Today was the first day that I actually felt hungry. I was starving. After three months of morning sickness I was now feeling like myself.We arrived at the coffee shop and it wasn't as little as aunt Tess has said, it was the total opposite.She gave me the grand tour and showed me how to work the ma
"Wow, look at your face." Tyler clapped and laughed loudly." Can't I make a joke. Is it only you who can be humourous?"I didn't know why I was surprised. I shouldn't have cared if he was angry , but somehow I did." So, you aren't upset that I am pregnant?""Of course not Larna. I had known the very first day I met you."I wondered how, I knew only a male wolf would smell my pregnant scent but he was a man." But how?""Your aunt Tess." Tyler smiled.Silly me, how could I possibly think this kind man was a wolf. He was too plain and simple. He smelled of fresh lavender and sunshine. Every possible way a human male smelt and behaved." To be honest, Larna, I really like you. You make the most putrid tasting coffee but I will still drink it."I burst into laughter," my coffee is horrible but you still want to drink it? Why would you possibly want to torture yourself."" Yes. As long as I get to see your pretty face. Anything made by your hand is special."" Tyler, I hate to be a buzz k
Tyler walked in to the coffee shop ordering his usual. One putrid coffee made by me. This time I tried to add more cream and less coffee.I poured a little in a cup and kept it aside. He took a small sip, tasting it slowly." Wow this is delicious." The cream lined the top of his lips and I took a napkin and dabbed it off.He smiled at me and I went back to the counter taking the cup I set aside. Since he said it was delicious I decided to take a big sip, emptying the contents of the cup into my mouth.As soon as it touched my tongue, I cringed. My nose wrinkled up and I wanted to puke. It was awful. It has no taste of coffee at all, just a coffee smell with milky taste.I spat it back in the cup and rinsed my mouth. It doesn't take rocket science to make coffee but why was I so bad at it." You really think my coffee was divine?" I questioned Tyler."My taste buds think that anything prepared by your lovely hands is divine." Tyler teased." Why do you even bother to torture yourself?
I lay underneath the blanket of stars waiting for my mate. The full moon illuminated the sky. It was a sign of our full strength as wolves. My mate, Prince Blain,was the most beautiful creature I had met. The Alpha, next in line to be the leader of the pack and king of the Winchester castle. He promised that I will always be his one and only love. I knew that he was promised to the daughter of the neighbouring Castle but I believed his promise to me. I knew this when I met him, I still know this now but he had promised to be only mine. I would be only his ,that today he would mark me. We will go to our parents and convince them to negotiate with the neighbouring castle or we will just elope. Leaving this life behind, starting a new life and creating a kingdom of our own. We fluttered in our dreams since we were eleven years old. I never saw myself with anyone else. Blain was the only wolf that had my heart. I fantasized about this day. The day I turn eighteen, and today was the da
