Misfortune of Tears

All werewolves are preparing for the grandeur event of the Blood Moon Ceremony where all young werewolves are destined to shift as they journey on their next phase.

I woke up still feeling tired but I have to keep living in this cruel world but I am still fortunate because I have a family, a boyfriend and a pack even though life seemed to be unfair.

I smiled when I remember the date today and the most important event in this generation, tonight will be the Blood Moon and the ceremony for the shifting! I'm so excited to see and meet my wolf! Today is also my 18th birthday and I would like to celebrate this day with my boyfriend Alpha Henderson, just thinking of him made my heart raced fast, we've been together for almost a year now and our relationship is getting even stronger... I knew because I could feel it. 

I stood up and prepared for the day when I suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming towards my room. I looked into my door when it banged loudly revealing my mad sister, Jairah.

But she seemed to not hear me as she rushed towards me and slapped my cheek so hard. "You bitch? How could you flirt with the Alpha! He's mine!" She exclaimed. 

My forehead creased in confusion as I held into my reddened cheek, my heart is racing fast when I heard the word Alpha. Our relationship was just a secret because I respect Alpha Henderson as he is the Alpha of the pack and I'm just a mere member and nothing but a very low creature. But how did Jairah discovered... and-

"What do you mean..?" I was still so confused when I received another slap coming from her.

"Don't be so naive, Adriah, Alpha Henderson is my boyfriend how could you flirt with him!? Can't you see yourself? Come on! Wake up on your daydream!" She yelled with anger that I heard another running footsteps coming closer.

What she said shocked me that I still couldn't believe what I heard, I don't know if my sister was lying or I was just played by my first love...

"B-but... he's my b-boyfriend." I said still so confused and I feel devastated.

"No! He's Mine!" When I looked at my sister Jairah, she once again advanced towards me for a strong punch but my instinct suddenly kicked in and I docked down for defense which made her advance more at the back and hit her head to the closet. 

I heard a gasp coming from the door, "Jairah!" Mom exclaimed in worry.

I turned around to see Jairah lying unconsciously on the floor. I was surprised but fear dominated me as I froze on my spot. Dad and mom rushed towards my sister and dad immediately carried her out of the room, for sure to treat her.

I wonder, will they be like this if it happens to me?

Mom was left with me, she faced me with anger blazing in her eyes that my heart beat too fast in fear, "M-mom, it wasn't m-my fault. I-it was an a-accident." I stuttered.

I did not intend that to happen to my sister, I just defended myself. But why does it seemed to be my fault?

"You devil!" She exclaimed and slapped me with the back of her hand so hard that I flew to the wall. 

As my back hit the wall she rushed to me and gripped my hair, "Mom, please. I didn't do it! She tried to punch me b-but I dodge it and s-she bumped into the closet." I reasoned while crying but she seemed deaf to hear my plea.

"Do not dare speak to me, you ungrateful child!" She said and dragged me through my hair, I followed because my head hurts too much as she gripped tightly onto it,

I keep crying and begging, "Please mom... I'm sorry." I shouldn't have dodged it but instead accepted her punches. 

I didn't know she would faint, bumping into my closet. I didn't even rip Fushia's dress and by the looks of it, it was caused by a mouse. 

However, nobody cares about me. No one listens to me.

We reached the bathroom and I saw a drum of water. Oh no. 

"Mom, no please. I didn't really do it." I plead once again.

"Bitch! Are you telling me that she did it alone!? You know, you should never exist!" She said and drowned my head into the water.

But I already took a deep breath before she did it, to last into the water for minutes.

For uncountable times that she drowned my head, I was already losing my breath, I couldn't last for more. I tried to stand up several times but her hand gripped my head so tightly that I didn't have the capability to do it. Now, I am losing my strength.

She raised my head and instead of pleading once more I took a very deep breath, catching all the air that I had lost.

"All you bring is misfortune in my family!" She exclaimed once again and drowned my head once more.

I have already anticipated that she wouldn't stop until she is satisfied.

I am also a part of her family, I am also her daughter. Why does it seem like I am not? Why do they acted that I am not their family but only their slave?

Am I really her daughter? Am I really... a member of this Lunasco family?

Why do they have to hurt me for something I did not do? Am I nothing to them?

Mom kept on drowning me until I weakened and lost my strength. She stopped and dragged me once more through my Hair but I am so weak to even resist where she was taking me. I lost my strength to plead once again. I am so weak to even open my mouth to speak for myself.

I can only speak for myself because I have no one at my side but now even I couldn't speak. Hell, she wouldn't even listen so why would I use the remaining strength I have from speaking to a person who is deaf to hear my plea?

We reached the door to the basement, I weakly looked at the door being open. Guess, I will be celebrating my birthday here again.

When the door was wide open, mom kicked me and because I felt so weak and unable to get on my feet, I fell on the ground. She closed the door but I remained lying. I just wanted to get back the strength I have lost. 

Why? Why did this ever happen to me? I didn't do anything wrong, maybe I have sinned before this lifetime that the Moon Goddess is punishing me.

All I did is love my family, I served them with my life but they didn't seem to see it. They love Fushia who did nothing but demand for luxury. I never asked my parents for anything but love. Is it even too hard to give the love I wanted? 

As I was recovering and some of my strength got back, I slowly stood up and walked towards the corner. 

I keep reminiscing about what I did wrong to deserve this but I found none. Why does it seem like my family hates me a lot?

My wolf should wake up soon and I don't think she will like my condition. Actually, I have already planned to leave this family. I wanted to escape and I already talked about this with Alpha Henderson. He told me to live with him after the Blood Moon Ceremony and I couldn't wait for that to happen.

I love Alpha Henderson, he is so kind to me when others hated me. He is the only one who ever cared for me but after I heard my sister, I feel so confused, what does she mean when she said that Alpha Henderson is his boyfriend? Was she telling me the truth? 

After hours of sitting in this dark basement, a light shines through the door. It opens and reveals dad.

My eyes glistened "Dad." I said weakly.

"Alpha Henderson is looking for you. Stand up and prepare for the event," He coldly said that sent chills down my spine as he walked away.

I was left so down but I took a deep breath and stood up. At first I lost my balance and fell sitting to the ground but I stood once again. When I regained my balance, I walked out of the basement.

I have to prepare. After this day, I hope not to see my family again... and I hope that my sister was just lying...
