Rejected and Abandoned: The Luna’s Reawakening 59
ROSHIDA “What?” “What are you, deaf? I said strip!” She looked at us and figured that no one could help her out so she started taking her clothes off one after the other. She was weeping as she stood stark naked in the bare snow and Borge and his men enjoyed the sight in front of them. The men on the ground turned their faces away since they couldn't do anything to help her. “Go on, run. You have a chance to actually run away. If you can manage to do that, then I'll let you go. It'll be like a little game between us okay? You have a head start though, twenty seconds. Run.” She looked unsure and looked around for a moment. “Come on, go.” Her eyes met mine before she took off very fast. That's when I realized that she had been beside me last night. If she timed it well, she might actually have a chance at freedom. My heart beat as Borge began to count and she had just gone past where the body lay. The issue was that they kept running in a straight line, right in front of th

ROSHIDA There was a loud crash as a dish fell to the floor and it broke to pieces instantly. A small girl fell to the ground and got on her knees. “I’m sorry, Matron. It slipped out of my hand when I was washing it.” The woman turned around and walked towards her. Then she kicked up one of the pieces. “Put your arm out and don't move an inch.” “Please, I'm sorry. I'll work extra hours, I'll buy it-” “Don’t make me repeat myself.” Her face was already filled with tears as she put her arm out. The woman dragged the broken piece of ceramic across her hand so hard that blood started dripping to the ground and despite the girl's loud scream and attempts to withdraw her hand, she didn't let go. She only let go when she had torn up till her shoulder. “As I said, you will be punished when you do stupid things. Don't think tears and sympathy live here. Now, when I point at you, you will be put into your group.” I ended up in the group that will clean the house. They asked us to mo

ROSHIDA When we eventually went back inside, we noticed that the maids were bringing food for the men and it smelt delicious. “I need to find Val- I mean, my husband. I'll be back soon.” Even though I didn't know where the hell he could be, I walked around the house, purposely avoiding the kitchen and other floors so I wouldn't run into any of the men. I walked out of the house and headed for the gate where I felt he would be. As soon as he saw me walking towards him, he ran up to me. “I don't think you're supposed to be here. What if someone sees you here?” “I'm not doing anything wrong. They made you a guard?” He nodded and glanced back at the gate. “ A guard in training. Are you working in the kitchens?” “No, I got lucky. I clean the rooms. They're utterly disgusting.” He laughed and for the first time, I didn't look

ROSHIDA Maybe it was the fatigue that I felt from all the walking and working that I'd done in the past day but I fell asleep a while after eating. Valfred gave me his shirt to use as a pillow and I laid on his jacket because the ground was too cold. “I have to go back out because they haven't let us go yet. Are you okay alone?” So he only came inside to give me food? I was going to ask him why and when he was coming back but then, it sounded wrong. Why did I care? “Okay then.” He looked at me for a second more before getting up and walking away. I watched him as he walked away and disappeared behind the door. For some reason, I didn't want him to leave. I knew it wasn't because I was lonely because Sonia came back and I pretended to be asleep so I didn't have to talk to her. After that, I actually did end up falling asleep but that only lasted

ROSHIDAWe got up even earlier the next day for some damn reason.And even then, Valfeed wasn't by my side. Even after I finished getting ready, I didn't see him so I figured that he had been called out at some point.Which meant he didn't get enough sleep.We were already scrubbing floors and toilet bowls before the sun was up. Hopefully today, we'll get to cover more ground than before.“I'm going to try to avoid that woman today. I don't know what her beef against me is but whatever it is, I'm trying to keep away from it.”It was very obvious that this was Borge's room because of the disgusting smell that was coming from it and also the fact that he was lying in a pile of his own vomit.“Can I not do this? I don't want to clean this. What to switch?”Sonia entered the room to see why I wanted to switch and she laughed..“Hell no. He seems to like you so, he's your special case.”As I stood there looking at him, I didn't know what to do. Waking him up meant waking trouble up. I was

VALFREDWe'd spent almost a week here and this is what I've gathered so far..Being at the gate meant that I got to be in front.and see a lot that was going on..it also meant that I got to see people from the pack and interact with them a bit.I'd make a couple of “friends” who made my life somewhat easy by making sure that I wasn't bullied and making sure that I was fed and had all the information that I needed.They were also the ones I was asking for information and even if they didn't give me a lot, they gave me what they knew..Officially, there was no head or leader but there was a man who they all reported to.Borge was the second in command to Cleave.I guess Cleave was the man we had seen earlier.As for the numerous invasion of packs, that was because there was a plan.No one knew what it was yet but it was against the Lycans and it was pretty serious because they were gathering a lot of slaves and it didn't seem like they just needed them for house work.I had just a week h

ROSHIDAIt was my fault. I should have hidden the food just like Sonia did when we saw her walking towards us. But I didn't think we were doing anything wrong.I didn't think that eating was now a punishable crime so that is why I wasn't bothered.I could barely keep my head up. I could barely speak when Sonia came to my side and told me not to worry. I was going to tell her that I wasn't worried but how would I speak?My back felt like there were a thousand little pins in them, all pricking me at the same time.My body was too weak, too wounded and I felt so happy when she walked away complaining of being tired. It was only a matter of time before I started crying and begging for mercy and I didn't want to give her that satisfaction.Despite being in and out of consciousness, I could still hear some people laughing. Well, I guess it's good to know that some people were happy with what happened.I could hear Regina's voice but I couldn't make out what she was saying and I didn't get

ROSHIDA“Where did you find a bed? I thought we couldn't have any of those?”He gave me the drugs to take.“And where did you get these?”There was no answer from him.“Valfr-”“Just let it go. It doesn't matter, does it? You're already on the bed and you've already taken the drugs so just let it go.”That was the first time he had ever raised his voice at me and I didn't even know what I did.I didn't say anything after that because there was nothing to say.I knew I couldn't sleep so I turned my head away from him and faced the wall.Did I do something wrong?Was he mad at me for getting to trouble?If I'd known that the matron had a thing against us eating, I would have hidden the food when I saw her coming.Maybe it was my fault, really.Maybe he got into trouble and that's why he's mad at me..“I’m sorry.” We said at the same time.“Ro, no. You did nothing wrong and you have nothing to be sorry for. Infact, I should be the one apologizing. I should have been careful and warned yo

ROSHIDAI kept looking at my phone to check if he had called me back.I mean, even if he were busy, he should have known that we didn't have a proper conversation and called me back to check what I really wanted.But then again, he didn't owe me anything. After all, Clarissa already said that he was busy.When I learnt that the port where he had work was in Alpha Lucas' pack, I sighed loudly. I didn't want a reason to be here after what happened but then, I had to choose between that and waiting for the Prince to come back when I didn't know when he would come back.So the best thing was just to go to him. I'll tell him how I feel and I'll just leave so I don't embarrass myself. Yes, that's what you're going to do.“Stop thinking and focus on the road.”Clarissa's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I'd forgotten that she had called me earlier and asked about what happened and I told her.“Took you long enough.”That was her response. How could I be the only one to not know that I l

VALFREDReggie and I shared a look.The conversation that had just happened in the last thirty minutes was one I never thought would happen.The car was completely silent and this was the most awkward situation I had ever been in.“So basically, you're telling me that if I dont marry your daughter, you will launch an attack against the Lycan Kingdom?”Alpha Lucas smiled and nodded.“That’s about right. I mean, what's there not to attack? Your father's family has hoarded the monarchy for centuries while my family had to sit on the sidelines and watch. We were not made to be Alphas! We were made to be Kings!”Alpha Lucas' pack was not one of the small ones. As a matter of fact, since he owned the port, it was a huge advantage to him because he was in charge of all the trade that was coming in.But he knew and I knew that that alone wouldn't be able for him to overthrow my father. He had allies, he had help. My main aim was to know who his help was.“You’re not that brave. Tell me, who h

ROSHIDAI sat with my phone in my hand.I didn't know if I should make this call or not. Sophia's words still resonated in my head even after hours had happened and I felt so bad.Now that she had said it, everything that he had done began to make sense. Gosh, how could I be so blind to this?I didn't even know that my thumb has mistakenly made the call that I been thinking about making.“Hello?”I pressed the phone to my ear.“Gosh, I'm so sorry, I had no idea that I made the call already. How're you, Clarissa?”She sighed.“I’m doing okay. How're you?”I didn't know if I should answer that question.“Clarissa, I wanted to ask you something. The day of the Queen's party, when Valfred was talking, your father said that he revoked the Crown because of what happened. What exactly did Valfred say?”“Well, he didn't officially revoke it. He just said it in anger and my father didn't honor it because he knew that Valfred wasn't serious about it. He said that if he can't have you, he'd rath

ROSHIDAThe room was silent.It had been silent since I got back from the coast. I didn't know what was wrong and dhene Sophia had asked me earlier, I didn't know what to say.I'd been doing a lot of thinking, thinking that would allow me to put things in order so that the thoughts going through my head would make sense.“You know, if I didn't know you any better, I would have said that you were pregnant.”I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her,confused as to where that thought was coming from.“What did you say? Why the hell would that be the first thing that comes to your mind?”She walked over to me, waving at Liam that was in my arms.“Because I believe that is the only thing that you will do that you won't be able to talk to me about. You've been a shadow of yourself for days and I've been asking you what is going on but you don't want to say anything. Have you done something I won't be proud of or what is the matter? You got back from the coast and you've been looking mo

VALFRED“If I feel any bite in my sleep, I assure you that you're going to die.”Reggie had been complaining about the hotel from the minute we stepped out of the car. He didn't like sleeping out and I knew that but it slipped my mind to tell him that it was going to take us at least three days to come back. “Reggie, the reviews say this is the best hotel in the area. I don't know what else to tell you. It does look nice, don't you think?” My optimism was not appreciated and the look he gave me let me know. He went to take a shower while I settled into the desk and began to look through the files. This was not the first time that I would be clearing out weapons but this was the first time I'd be offloading them from the ship. I usually only saw them when they brought them to the house for inspection. At some point, Alpha Lucas was going to hear of my presence even though I didn't want him to. I mean, seeing as our first meeting wasn't exactly one of pleasure,.it is expected that

VALFREDI came back home, just like everyone wanted me to.I wasn't happy about it because I knew that my mother and Clarissa would be in my business and I know that they were just trying to care for me..But I didn't need that right now. All I wanted was to be left alone.I don’t remember the last time I asked my father to give me work but that morning, I walked into my father's office, hoping that he would not be busy.“Good morning, father.”He and Mark looked up at me, obviously not realizing that I was walked in because of how busy they were.”Good morning, Father.”I'd forgotten he didn't know that I was back yet.”Valfred, you're back. Is there a problem?”.Mark stood up immediately.“Your majesty, I'll leave you and the Prince alone.”I didn't speak until I heard the door close behind me..“There is nothing wrong, father. I apologize for.the tone with which I spoke to you that day. I was angry, very angry. Please know that I mean no disrespect to you.”He stood up and walked o

VALFRED“What if I don't want to be a free man?” She turned around to look at me. She looked so exhausted. “What on earth are you talking about? Why wouldn't you want to be a free man to be able to make your own choices?”I don't know if she was doing this on purpose or she truly didn't know how I felt. “Roshida, if I have offended you in any way, I would like to apologize.”“Valfred, what are you talking about? How did you offend me? You haven't done anything wrong. I asked you why you don't want to be a free man.”For the first time in my life, words failed me. I didn't know the way to express what I felt for her. That was because I didn't even understand what I felt. It was enveloping every part of my senses. “Have you ever for one second, seen me as more than the Prince?”She didn't answer immediately. “Where is that question coming from?” “Your answer would let me know how to answer your question.”The fact that she hadn't taken her hand away was hope that she was still he

ROSHIDA“Come in. I hope dad didn't send you.”As we entered the house, I saw Reggie sitting on the couch and he waved to me.The place was actually very beautiful.“Dad didn't send me. I came because someone wanted to talk to you.”Valfred hadn't even turned around for once to see that I was standing in the room.“Who was the person who wanted to speak to me? If it's mum, I'll call her later. You didn't have to come all the way out here. It's too far. And you didn't even tell me you were coming.”What the hell was he doing that he hadn't even turned around for once.Clarissa dropped her bag on the couch.“I’m not the one who wants to speak to you. It's Roshida.”I was expecting him to turn around and then look but he didn't. He did pause though.“What did she say? She's still mad at me. She hasn't responded to my texts. When you went to see her today, did she look like she had been crying?”Clarissa looked at me and I shook my head. If he knew, it would just make him more angry.“No

ROSHIDA“You didn't do anything wrong. I just want to know one thing. What's going on between you and my brother? I mean, what are the both of you doing?”Wy would she think there was something going on? I didn't know. Had Valfred told her anything?I mean, they were siblings. He probably told her about the kisses. All of them.“Why would you ask that? Do you think something is going on or did he tell you something?”I could see her hesitation to answer that question. Looking at her properly, Clarissa is actually very beautiful.She Carrie elegance around with her like a shadow and even the way she talked or gestured, you could just feel she was royalty.“Its not about what he told me. it's about what you feel you are to each other. I'm not blind, Roshida. I can see the way you look at him, the stolen glances, the long stares, the smiles…you can't tell me that there's nothing going on.”Well, I guess I could say that she was smart enough to notice all that. I turned her around to face
