The Bastard Luna

" Fucking Bitch! "

The slap that landed across my face was brutal, the mere force of it almost had me tumbling to the ground. I couldn't bring myself to do anything except place my hand on my burning cheek, my stepmother was glaring down at me with deep hatred, it was one of those times when she just couldn't bring herself to cope with my existence anymore. I already knew she wished me dead, because it wouldn't be the first time she had tried killing me. sometimes, it was her poisoning my food, other times it was her getting some of the members of our pack to beat me to a pulp. if I wasn't as strong as I was then I would have died a long time ago.

"It's not enough that we feed you in this house and tolerate your presence, now you also want to compete with your sister? you dare to spill water on her?!"

" but I didn't spill water on her..."

" shut your mouth!" Luna Ivory yelled in anger, she raised her hand and another slap fell on my face. at this point I had a bleeding nose and a bruised cheek, the woman didn't hesitate to use full force when hitting me, she always made sure I had Scars and bruises to take to school every day. " don't f****** talk back at me you worthless bastard! you are nothing more than a stupid mistake, you and that b**** mother of yours! if you are not careful I will send you to hell to be with her "

The Luna spat at me with disgust before turning around and walking out of the kitchen. I was left still sitting on the cold tiled floor nursing my injuries. even though Luna Ivory had managed to land several injuries on me in the past, it wasn't her I was really worried about, I was worried about how my father would react when he comes back and hears of the lies Lucille had told. if there was anyone who hated me more than Luna Ivory, it was my father, Alpha Zack. the only reason my father hadn't killed me yet was because he was afraid it would bring more disgrace to his name.

Many years ago, he had assaulted my mother which led to her conceiving me, my mother was a human who worked in the bar where alpha Zack always went with his friends, he had gotten so drunk one day and had assaulted her. he had thought he would get away with it and nothing would happen, but unfortunately for him my mother had gotten pregnant, she had refused to get rid of me even despite the pressure he put on her. My mother died shortly after giving birth to me and I was handed back to my father, at that time he was already mated to his Luna. Since I was a hybrid wolf and still carried the Blood Moon pack DNA, it was against the rules for my father to not accept me, so he had taken me into the pack and raised me more as a slave than a daughter. So that was my story, I was known as the bastard daughter of the Alpha who no one liked.

Not only my family but the entire members of the pack treated me horribly. I pulled myself to a standing position while wiping the blood from my nose, it was at this moment that my step-sister walked into the kitchen. Lucille had a smug expression on her face as she watched me with satisfaction. Lucille used every opportunity she got to make my life miserable, she liked it especially when my father punished me so she would always make up false accusations to put me in trouble. yesterday it had been me stealing her shoes, today it was me spilling water on her, who knows what she might come up with tomorrow.

"This will teach you next time to keep out of my way, don't think I haven't noticed the way you look at Xavier, do you think my boyfriend would ever be interested in a pig like you?"

" for the last time, I wasn't looking at him, he put a dead rat in my locker and then forced me to take them out "

" you should even be glad that Dad allows you to attend our school, I'm so f****** embarrassed at the thought of having someone like you related to me, why don't you just go jump down a mountain and die? " Lucille's words didn't have any effect on me, this wasn't the first time I was hearing this from her so I had already gotten used to it. she turned around and walked away just like her mother had and I was finally able to breathe in relief. there was still a lot I needed to take care of today before my father wouod come back, I was sure another punishment was waiting for me.

I set me to work on finishing my chores and then making dinner for the rest of my family, a dinner I knew I wouldn't be able to eat. Luna Ivory was always looking for the smallest excuses to starve me, she hated the fact that I looked more attractive than her daughter and so wanted me to be thin and ugly. I got my good looks from my mother, my smooth brown skin, hazel eyes, and dark brown hair were all from the woman whom I'd never met, I didn't even have a picture of her to go by.

But it was something my father always said whenever he beat me up, that I was a replica of that cunning bitch. I was able to finish dinner before my father returned. I fixed the table and served my stepmother and stepsister who were already seated at the table, it wasn't long before my father arrived, you could guess that this was the exact moment Lucille was waiting for. the moment the man was seated she went on to blab about how I spilled water on her and embarrassed her in front of her friends.

Alpha Zack was a very good-looking man, he looked charming and kind to everyone else who wasn't me. The moment he laid his dark eyes on me he would always be filled with hatred and disdain." you spilled water on my daughter?"

Not my sister, not my step-sister either but his daughter, because to him Lucille was his only child and I was nothing but trash. " it was an accident, I am sorry "

No, I did not spill water on Lucille, but I had to admit to a crime I didn't commit either way for fear of more punishment. I was so sure that he was going to punish me, but perhaps he was just too tired to pay any attention to me today. he didn't raise his hand at me and only sent me off to my room without dinner for the night. I went back to my room thinking that today was my lucky day, I had managed to escape so many dangers. hopefully, my luck would be as good tomorrow, knowing that I would have to make contact with a certain someone I needed all the luck I could get

* * *

I went to school the next day wearing the Old worn-out clothes I got from Lucille, this was the only thing I was allowed to wear most of the time, except on special occasions when the pack has a celebration, then my father wouldn't let me dress in such a way in fear that I will bring disgrace to the family name. I was trying to keep a low profile today because I didn't want any unwanted attention, my head was bowed, my hair covering my face as I made my way through the hallways of Elthon Highschool. It was my wishful thinking that no one would notice me. Before I could reach my locker I felt my hair being pulled back harshly which had me screaming in pain

" hello there ugly, where do you think you are going this fine morning?" Xavier Snow glared down with a mocking smile on his face.

the most handsome guy in the entire school was also the most promising alpha in my pack, at only the age of 18 he was already a Delta, and he was admired and loved by both men and women in the pack. because of his good looks, he had girls at his beck and call, even though Lucille proclaimed him as her so-called boyfriend everyone in school knew that Xavier was a total Playboy. But just like Lucille, he took great pleasure in making my life a living hell. it wasn't always like this though. When we were much younger Xavier had been the only one who had treated me like a person, we had been very close friends until the time we reached Junior High School, and then everything changed.

perhaps it was his popularity or his new position as the future alpha of the Blood Moon pack, whatever it was, it made Xavier hate me to the point of bullying me every single day for the past 6 years. " what? Are you not going to say anything? cat got your tongue? "

"There is nothing to say, leave me alone "

" I don't understand how you can talk back despite everything " I whimpered when Xavier grabbed me by my hair once more and pulled me to my feet. there was that disgusted expression on his face as he regarded me, the one I was already used to seeing.

" you are lucky I can't f*** you up on school premises "

" it didn't stop you last time though "

" shut the fuck up bitch, don't talk back at me " The hallway was already started to get crowded by this time, but no one was paying any attention to us because this had become a regular scene, everyone knew that Xavier's favorite target was me, some even said he used me as a punching bag whenever he got too sexually frustrated and didn't find a whore to fuck.

when Xavier started to drag me roughly towards the direction of the Locker Room I knew exactly what was coming. this was their favorite place to torture me because as everyone knows no teacher ever checked the locker rooms, so it was safe. Not like the teachers would pay any attention to me anyway, they already knew I was getting bullied but none of them cared because they disliked me as much as everyone else.

" Lucille said you were constantly eye-fucking me, she thinks you are lusting after me "

" What?" my head snapped up and I stared at Xavier in shock. I had expected Lucille would do something else to get me in trouble today, but I didn't think she would go and say something so absurd. She told her boyfriend and my number one bully that I was eye-fucking him?. when the hell did that even happen? since when have I ever had any interest in this bastard? Xavier noticed the shock in my expression and he smiled widely at me. his ocean Blue Eyes stared at me in interest.

" despite you looking so ugly, I wouldn't mind having a go. you must be a virgin right?, so tight down there. I can't wait to have you bent over that desk screaming my name "

I couldn't bring myself to believe those words had just come out of Xavier's mouth. I mean I already knew that he was a man slut, but I didn't think that he would scoop to a level to try to bed me. hadn't he always said I was ugly and revolting? why was he suddenly interested in me now? could it be that he had run out of girls to sleep with and was now focusing his attention on me? it didn't matter what the reason was but all I felt at the moment was a mix of anger, hate, and fear. So when Xavier's hands slipped under my shirt I couldn't control my instincts anymore.

I pushed him back while raising my hand which landed hard across his face. The sound of the slap was loud enough to be heard miles away. The room grew silent as both Xavier and I were still shocked over what had just happened. I regretted it the moment those blue eyes of his took a bright red color. I was screwed
