Misfortune

  That single moment that Jake threw me away it's like a thousand years stretched out, even though we're not actually mated by the moon goddess ever since I was 16 he was the only man I ever picture spending the rest of my life with…to have pups with.

 Now that things had suddenly come out he will not hesitate to reject me in front of everyone.

  Shock gripped me so tightly that I was not even able to get up from the floor, but there was even more misfortune that was coming my way.

 Jake turned to his father and said.

 "Father, we cannot end our wonderful relationship with the Greysons because of one mistake…"

 He just casually called me a mistake and my parents agreed, nodding as I looked at all of them with my jaw to the floor.

  Before the Alpha could even get the chance to respond he kept on speaking;"... And I'm sure that you feel sorry for your Beta his mate they definitely did not ask to be crossed with this one…"

 It was almost as if I wasn't even in the room at all, at this point even the AC had more significance than me right now.

 The Alpha seemed reculent at his son's words and then said.

"So what are you suggesting?"

 "That we still join the two families together…"

  I began to recall the scene of him pushing me a moment ago and wondered if I had imagined how he could talk about going on with the marriage after doing that he was sending too many confused signals.

 How the signals stopped being confusing as he kept on speaking.

 "They have another daughter, why don't I just get married to her instead and save some of their name?"

 "Becky?"the Luna said surprised while he was smiling from ear-to-ear as he talked about her.

"Yes, her…she is smart, beautiful and will make a perfect Luna…"

 He looked at his father expectantly and the Alpha pondered in his words while my parents literally held their breaths.

 Then he stood and spoke.

"Fine, you will be betrothed to her until she shifts then we will be sure that she is not cursed like somebody else,"

 My parents were totally overjoyed and thanked Alpha profusely.

 As for me…I just didn't know how to feel.

 Everything was happening so fast, it was like a dream, no rather…it was a nightmare.

  I began to wonder if I should have taken the offer of the Alpha King.

 After my sister Becky was chosen to be the new betrothed of the man that I loved, the first thing that she did was come and console me in my room.

 "It's okay…" I lied right through my teeth.

"You don't have any choice father and mother will make sure that you marry him to regain their honor..I have no right to be sad,

 Even as I was saying this a waterfall of tears was running down my eyes as she held me.

  I was relieved to see my sister was finally being treated as a part of the family but it pains me that I had to be treated like trash because the very day after we came from the Alphas house my mother said that we had to expand Becky's room.

 So obviously I asked where I was going to sleep if the room that I was already sleeping in was going to be demolished to make more space for Becky.

   A few moments later I was promptly escorted to the basement with my mother hovering behind me waiting for me to make a single complaint so she could slap me over my head.

 "Well? Do you have any problems sleeping here?"

 Bottling back my tears I turned around and shook my head.

 "No, mother…"

 "Good, this is where you will sleep and have your meals…I don't want my precious daughter to see your cursed face when she's eating…"

 "Yes, mother."

 The moment she left I crumbled to the dusty floor, somehow everything had been taken away from me and I had been reduced to nothing.

 Why wouldn't this nightmare end?

  But there was still more in store for me, just when I was painfully swallowing my new reality like a bitter pill something else happened.

 My sister Becky fell sick.

 The pack doctors could not find anything wrong with her, but yet she got leaner and more sickly everyday.

 I was busy being so worried for my sister that I didn't notice the eyes that were coming over to me and the fingers that were already pointing in my direction until one night my father suddenly came down to the basement.

 His heavy steps woke me up and before I could even ask what was wrong he began to whip me with his thick leather belt, I bolted from the pancake sized bed that I was sleeping on with screams.

 When he finally passed I could feel blood dripping down from different places on my body and he was holding the belt above his head with sweat dripping down.

 "Confess…" he said and I looked at him with confusion and he held the bet even tighter.

 "Confess wha-"

 "What did you do to my daughter to make her sick?"

I gulped.

"Father…I did nothing…"

 He looked down at me.

"So you won't confess now?!"

 And then he kept flogging me till I passed out. When I woke up we were in the woods, then I heard my father digging a hole and my mother next to him.

 "I can't believe you killed her," she sobbed. I thought she actually cared about me again now that she assumed I was dea-

"What if Becky doesn't get better?"

Oh, she wasn't.

 I couldn't move a finger, or speak…was I really going to be buried like this?

 The pain from the flogging made my throat choke up and my body weak. Soon my father came and started dragging me to the hole.

 I wanted to scream but no words escaped my mouth, just then he heard a deep growl and then immediately dropped my leg.

 "It must be rogues!" He grabbed my mother's hand and took her away, leaving me there and then I thought about those blue eyes that didn't judge me.

 Just then before I succumbed to unconscious, I felt someone's hand around my waist lifting me up as he said.

 "Were you thinking about me, little one?"
