Dethroned Luna

Cassandra POV

“Heyyy..Darling. Are you free tonight?.” The rogue biker snatched my hair while passing by. I was startled by eve teasing.

It’s been a week since I ended up in the rogue community. The life of a rogue community was not easy.

I stayed in an abandoned building with a few female rogues and ate everything that came in the charity house for rogues. But someday we have to sleep empty stomach.

The passing rogue watched me with their drooling mouth. It was daytime and still the atmosphere was too scary.

“The only way to survive is to shift into a safe place,” I muttered but my stomach growled, giving me a stark reminder that I had hardly eaten anything.

“Hey, let’s go there. I heard some Alpha distributing food for his father’s well-being. He gave everyone food for months.” One rogue woman grabbed my hand and told me.

I found people leaving charity houses with packets of bread, butter and eggs. My mouth began drooling. It’s good that I won’t have to think about food for months.

I stood in the queue and waited for my turn. But as soon as I approached, my eyes met the colder eyes of Alpha King Brutus. He was not alone, but Evelyn was there with him.

“Look, who came to the charity house? A begger Luna Cassandra? or shall I call you Killer Luna Cassandra. You deserves this.” Evelyn laughed as Brutus smirked at his words.

“Don’t worry baby. She deserves even more. But I am happy that I finally got you. A right person beside me..” Brutus grabbed her shoulder and pulled her closer. The sight of them together felt like a sharp stab in my heart.

I gritted my teeth, the pain ached in my heart seeing them close.

“You must be happy to see me suffering here?” I asked Brutus. I wondered if he ever loved me.

“Suffer? You have not even begun to suffer yet. You will beg for death. Just see what happens to you.” Brutus spoke in a brutal way. My heart ached with pain.

“Don’t be so happy, Evelyn. Karma won’t leave you. It will return you everything doubled.” I said and Brutus' eyes narrowed as he grabbed my chin.

“How dare you insult the future Luna queen.” His fingers gripped painfully and I was scared that my jaw bones would break into two. “Kneel before her and ask her for forgiveness otherwise I will stop this charity right here.”

He said, the charity was stopped and other rogues watched my face angrily. They were hungry and Brutus wasn’t ready to distribute food.

I helplessly sat on my knees, my eyes filled with tears. The dignity that I had remained in my heart, I killed it with my own hands.

“I.. Am sorry. Evelyn. I won’t do that again.” I spoke with trembling words. My heart filled with shame. I was kneeling before my step-sister.

“It’s okay Brutus. I know you love me the most,” She placed a kiss on Brutus' cheeks and my heart was torn into pieces. I didn’t care about food and left the charity house.

While getting out, My eyes fell on the ring. I picked it in my hand and found it was the ring that I gave Alpha Brutus at our wedding. He must have thrown it.

I clenched the ring and sold it in a jeweller's shop. I was glad that I had enough money till my child was born.

“Are you the same woman from that charity house?”

“You were the same ex-Luna queen that tried to kill the father of Alpha King Brutus?”

The incident of charity house spread in the entire rogue community and I was denied a house in every other lodge.

The sun was already set and I decided to take a rest in a hotel for tonight. It's not good for a pregnant woman to roam outside after sunset in a rogue community.

But before that, I needed to eat. So I went into a store to buy something to eat. I brought instant noodles and sat on the stand. The television was airing the news.

"Alpha King Brutus of Dark Moon pack set up a huge celebration to announce his new Luna Queen. The reports said they are marrying soon. He might officially propose to her for the marriage today."

I felt like the food was stuck in my throat. My heart screamed with unbearable pain. I had no place to live and nothing to do. Is this what Brutus wanted? To make me suffer.

I wiped my eyes and left the noodles there, now it was dark and I realised I spent more than an hour crying.

With a heavy heart, I walked to the streets, I had no place to go.

"Hey you, I can smell money in this bag.." A man appeared out of nowhere. I clenched my bag tightly. I have to save the money for my future. I stepped back and sensed a few men surrounded me and watched me with fierce gaze.

My heart skipped a beat when seven men surrounded me from every corner, they didn’t appear human. Even if I ran, I couldn't make it.

"Alright, you need money, Then take it." I threw the bag in front of them. My priority was the baby in my belly. A man before me laughed, and tried to pick up the bag but then another stopped him.

"Hey, the boss sent us to kill her right? We can have her money once she is dead" He said and my brows furrowed.

They came to kill me, but who wants to see me dead? Was it Alpha King Brutus?

Before I could say anything, they all shifted at once and pounced over me. They began beating and hitting me, not giving me a chance to shift.

My forehead was scratched, and I was bitten on my hand. My forehead and cheeks took flesh.

My sole focus was protecting my pup, I was fighting with my all might. I covered my belly when every flesh of my skin was torn apart. I was thrown into the woods.

I tried to get up but it seemed no strength was left in my body. I was barely able to see anything. The darkness enveloped me and my eyes shut down.
