"Was it because my mother wasn't the Luna? Even though she wasn't the Luna, it wasn't her fault that the Alpha forced himself on her" I added but was smacked hard on the mouth.
My lips broke and I tasted my own blood which tasted metallic.
"Shut up your mouth, you wench, you should be getting your frail body ready to receive your punishment and not spit out rubbish from your mouth," the guard holding me roared hitting my back and sending pain down my spine.
They got to the torture room and tossed me on the hard floor, I groaned in pains as my butt hit the floor
They all got ahold of a long whip and I whimpered on seeing the whip and shifted back trying to get away from them but what strength do I have to fight against three hefty men? I must be a very big joker.
I closed my eyes as I waited for the pain to tear through me but instead of feeling pain, I felt something else.
I felt cold, numb as it felt as though a bucket of ice was poured on me.
I jerked and my eyes fluttered open to behold the face of Maya staring daggers at me with an empty bucket in her hand.
"Why are you still asleep by this time of the day you dirty scumbag" she yelled kicking my butt hard.
"I'm sorry Maya, I overslept, do not be offended" I pleaded and stood up from my little wrapper of comfort which I sleep with.
"I give you 2 sec to get to my room and fix my nails for me" she screeched and stomped out of the room throwing the bucket at me which I dodged but was unfortunate as it landed on my left leg leaving a bruise which produced little blood.
I wiped off the blood with my palm and rubbed my palm together to get rid of the blood stain.
I sighed and stood up, I guess my mother was already up and doing many chores and I know she didn't wake me because she wanted me to sleep some more considering that I went to bed at the wee hours of the morning.
I can't believe all the beating and boldness were all in a dream, none of that happened and I'm hurt to know I didn't actually inflicted injury on Maya.
This is my sad reality and I can't even talk back at them no matter what they do to me not to talk of beating anyone. The alpha would just fry me alive if I should do such.
I wonder when I'll be able to speak out but even if I do, no one would listen or even care rather I'll be getting more abused.
They all hated me and my mother and as long as the white moon pack is concerned, I would always remain nothing but a piece of trash and garbage who was birthed by a slut woman to them.
I gently folded the worn-out wrapper which my mother gave me and which I have been using as a bed.
My mother and I sleep in the dark attic which was used as the pack's storage room where they park whatever wasn't useful to them.
The little space left there was where my mother and I lay to sleep every night and this was what I grew up to.
I kept the wrapper in my bag and combed my always tangled hair with my hands before rushing out of the room to Maya's.
I got out of the attic and climbed down the little stairs that led to the main house and just as I got in, I bumped into Madison the second daughter.
"Hey watch it, are you crazy?" She yelled pushing me aside. I staggered and balanced my weight to avoid falling.
Madison rarely talks, she's always by herself but that doesn't in anyway mean she's good.
She does not bully me like her sister's but she doesn't like me either. I've only heard her speak for few times. Not even to her sisters.
She's always confined in the corners of her room pressing her phone.
"I'm sorry" I muttered not wanting to further delay my going to Maya's room. Madison rolled her eyes and continued walking.
Looking at the cup of coffee in her hands, I could tell she came to get food and retire to her room, she's the only one among all that doesn't wait for me to bring her things.
It's 3 mins now and Maya only gave me 2 seconds which she knew was impossible to get to her room. I know she's just looking for an excuse to hit me.
"You should be" Madison sneered and entered her room.
"Hmmph! I heaved and hastened my footstep until I got to Maya's door.
Taking few breathes, I knocked on her door and waited for her response.
"Come in" I heard and pushed the door open.
"You are 4 mins 8secs late Zendaya" she rasped and I scoffed inwardly.
I kept quiet and stare at my legs while I wait for her order.
"Get my nails done," she said with a grunt.
I raised my head to see her rolling her eyes, ignoring her attitude, I walked over to her dressing table to get her nail equipment.
Growing up and doing everything I'm being asked to do made me learn a whole lot of things and now, I could boost of designing a perfect nail with polish.
I squat and she stretched her hands to me which I took and started applying the Polish on her nails.
"What are you doing? Applying this dull color on me, are you out of your senses?" She shrieked withdrawing her hands and glaring at me.
"But the color looks really beautiful," I said in a low sigh and Maya rolled her eyes.
"What do you know about fashion? How dare you lecture me on the color that suits me and the one that doesn't? What do you know" she mocked sneering.
I stared at her and shook my head. I picked another color that I thought would be too bright for her but since that was what she wanted then I'll apply it to her. "Do not waste my time, do that fast and polish my shoes" she sneered, glaring at me. I simply nodded and started polishing her nails as fast and neat as I could. Few minutes in, the door opened and Anna, the last daughter of the Luna walked into the room smiling widely but immediately her eyes met with mine, her smiles vanished and was replaced with a scowl. "Why are you mopping at me, do you want to bewitch me or haven't you seen a beautiful lady in your life before?" She snickered and I simply lowered my head not wanting to say a word to her not like I have anything to say unless I want to be punished. "I want my hair fixed and my toenails too and I think mother also wants hers fixed so you better be fast ab
"I do not have any money to use and replace the Polish, please forgive me" I begged to kneel. "You should have thought of that when you decided to act clumsy and ruin my newly gotten expensive and designer polish," Maya said not sparing me a glance. "We all know you have never touched money with your hands because your bitchy mother who thought she could reap from where she did not sow could never provide it for you, you will have to starve for two days," Anna said smirking. I nodded my head hastily and they both roll their eyes. "Be fast with this and get out of here" Maya said and picked up her phone I haven't even had anything to eat since yesterday and starving had already became a part of me that I no longer bother about food. As long as they keep my mother out of this and not go about calling her names, I wou
"Liar!" She exclaimed hitting my head then snatching the plate from my hand. She smelled the plate and busted out laughing. "You are such a lame thief and a liar. I have always known you were a petty criminal and I have waited to catch you red-handed in the act and now that I have, you are doomed" she muttered with a smirk. "I did not steal the food and this is also my father's house" I mumbled in a low tone which was supposed to be inaudible to her but she obviously heard it due to her wolf's hearing ability and next, a stinging slap landed on my cheek. "You had it when it isn't time for you to, doesn't that make you a thief? And I'm sure your sl*tty mother gave it to you or did you steal it yourself?" She asked and my blood ran hot immediately she called my mother sl*tty but I managed to calm down. There's nothing I could do anyway and even if I try to do anything, it would be putting me and my mother into more pains and sufferings. "Do not
"It's nothing Maya" I muttered and she scoffed pulling me out and turning my back forcefully to reveal the plate. "Tsk! She chuckled deadly, her brows rising in scorn. She smirked and clapped her hands in a mockery manner. "You stole our food didn't you?" She asked, her eyes snapping wickedly. "I didn't steal the food, It was Just a used plate which was in our room that I decided to bring to the kitchen" I lied. I would never tell them my mother gave me the food because I do not want my mother going through any punishment because of me. "Oh really? How convincing is that? Do you think I'm daft not to know this plate was just used?" She asked and I swallowed and kept quiet. You are ready shameless and stupid. I can't believe you steal food Zendaya" she scorned. "I didn't steal the food and
Her eyes met with mine and she gave me a reassuring smile. Behind those smiles, I could see the hidden pains. I could see the broken heart she was trying to mask with her smiles. I blinked away the tears on my eyes and wiped them off with my shoulder as my hands were tied to the pole. "We heard from Maya that you stole food from the kitchen, did you do that?" The Alpha's cruel voice rang out. No need to deny anything because it makes no sense and would change nothing. They would still give me punishments whether I deny or accept and denying would make it worse so I just nodded my head in affirmation. "You have no fear to go into my household kitchen and steal food from my pot, how dare you?" The Luna yelled as her hot palm collided with my face. The pain stung me hard and I bite on my inner cheek to hold it in and prevent myself from crying.
"You better be fast with that, I want my hair looking breathtaking else you will be in big trouble," Madison said to me as I style her hair. I simply ignored her rants and continued with brushing her extension. The week had been a rollercoaster of emotion for me but thanks to the goddess, I came out alive after the hell of punishment been melted out to me. I had just finished working at the construction site and was finally given food after seven days of starvation and torture. I couldn't even count how many times I collapsed. I was on my way to our tiny room to rest and see how my mother had been doing when Madison called me to style her hair. I wanted to decline but I just couldn't, I had to follow her into her room. "Maddy guess what?" Anna yelled from outside coming into the room with a big smile plastered on her face.
~~~XANDER~~~ On getting down from the plane and looking around in search of the guards my mother sent to pick me up from the airport, I finally spotted them coming towards me in a haste. I sighed in frustration as they got to me and prostrated in greetings. This place sucks and this people too. I began walking to the car ignoring their greetings as they followed behind with my luggages. On getting to the Maybach packed few meters away from where I stood before, one of the guard opened the car door and I got into the back sit. The car reversed and drove out of the airport into the streets of my pack. Staring out of the windows, reminds me so much of the time I was here. Those times I enjoyed being here but now, mere looking at these Street makes me want to puke. I brought out my headse
The doctor took his gaze to the floor and nodded making me sprang up to my feet. "What nonsense are you talking about? That the lady I brought here myself has disappeared?" I asked turning to the nurse and trying to understand what she meant. "I'm afraid yes. I went to check on how she's doing and administer drugs to her but found the bed empty. I also went into the bathroom thinking she went to ease herself but it was also empty. I searched around the whole ward but couldn't find her" the nurse said and I chuckled, the whole thing sounding off to me. How possible could that be, if the said she was too weak from the abuse she went through, then how on earth would she be able to get up from the bed and leave the hospital on her own and does it mean nobody saw her leaving or what? "You both must really be kidding me because I do
ZENDAYA"Come on Daya, it's time to make an entrance. It's your introduction, don't keep the people waiting" my mother called. Xander was still whispering some sweet perverted words into my ear, he seemed to have forgotten what today was.Ever since I came down, he has refused to let me go. "You see? Let's go or do you wanna eat me here?" I teased."I can if you want me to by the way" he winked and I hit his hand.He pecked my cheek, and grabbed my hands, securing them in his palm as we both walked out to greet the people."Let's welcome our soon-to-be Alpha and his Luna" the beta announced and there was loud applause. Giving me a reassuring smile, we both walked out to meet the crowd. Shouts of joy filled the air as they welcome us. The ceremony started and all the necessary things were done. I was presented to the pack members and blessed. It was now time for us to dance."Okay baby, show me what you've got" Xander Smirked making me scoff. I told you I don't know how to
ZENDAYAThe past two weeks have been filled with happiness for me. First, I got my wolf, and damn, I love her so much. After the celebration that day, Xander took me into the woods and taught me how to call out my wolf. I did and shifted for the first time in my life. I was filled with happiness. Joy was an understatement. My wolf, snow is so beautiful. It wasn't a joke when she asked me to call her the Beautiful one.She's huge, I was surprised she wasn't small. Though not as big as Zek, she was still bigger than most female wolves.She has white fur, white as snow. No wonder she bears snow as a name and the most beautiful is her blue eyes. Deep and accentuated her look.Xander couldn't stop talking about how beautiful my wolf was. He took so many pictures of her and I couldn't help staring at them. She's me and I'm here. My other half.Ever since Snow returned, I found a reason to live and enjoy my life, and snow being an adventurous wolf, she made me always yearn for fun.A lot of
ZENDAYA We were all sitting at the dining table, celebrating the unlocking of my wolf. I was ready to be a Luna to black moon pack and Xander's mother was particularly happy. She was all over me, praising my beauty. She apologized for being mean to me earlier saying it was only because I had no wolf and they didn't want their son to make a Wolfless girl his Luna.According to her, they've worked so hard to make their pack what it was today. So they do not need a weakling to stand behind their mate.All through the time, she was all over me, Sophie kept winking. I told you she'll grow inseparable with you soon, what's happening now? I didn't know it would be sooner though" Sophie teased when I excused myself to get something from the kitchen."You really said it, Sophie. I thought she wouldn't still like me even after I've gotten my wolf because you know, I'm the illegitimate daughter" I said."Oh no, my aunt is not like that. She doesn't discriminate. She was only angr
MAYA'S POVTwo days passed any my mother hasn't visited me. I couldn't tell if she was keeping away because she doesn't want to give back to Zendaya what belongs to her.I do not want to believe my mother would choose a thing over me or could she?For two days now, I've been forcing myself to make an excuse to convince myself she was busy with something and would still come. I don't know if I should continue doing that as today which is the third day is about to end yet I haven't seen her.I rested my head on the wall and surrendered my fate. There's nothing else left for me and no way of coming out. Even my mother whom I thought loved me the most rejected me all because of whatever thing she had.I was about laying on the floor to sleep which has been what I've been doing here since I came; Sleep and mistakenly roll over to a silver floor, scream from the pain, wake up and mourn my pathetic life then sleep again. This was my routine.The door clicked open and as usual,
XANDER'S POVI rocked Zendaya's back and immediately she fell asleep, I gently laid her on the bed. I stared at her for a while as a single tear slipped down my eyes.How she has suffered in those monsters' hands. Their entire family needs to be wiped off the surface of this earth. How cruel could they be?My heart was bleeding and it took thousands of courage to remain calm when she was telling her story.By the time I'm done dealing with that nonentity, he would regret ever laying his cursed fingers on my mate's body. Every pain he caused my mate, I'm going to inflict on him a thousand times.I gently covered Zendaya's body and peck her forehead. I picked up my phone and left the room.I dialed Jack's number and he picked up immediately. "Find me the whereabouts of Asher Roberto as soon as possible," I said into the phone and ended the call.You will never in your life use your manhood again by the time I'm done with you Asher.My heart was still raging. I got into my car and drove
MAYA'S POV"Mum you left without saying anything the other day. What's going on?" I asked my mother as I stared deeply into her eyes.She lowered her gaze and it became obvious she doesn't wanna give back to Zendaya what belonged to her. By the way, what the hell is that? Why do I have no idea about it and why does it look like my mother would rather allow me to stay here than give it back."Mum? Won't you say anything? Haven't you come to give me a positive answer?" I asked getting annoyed."My dear Maya, my baby! You know I love you and can do anything to get you out of here but this is something so hard. We would figure out a way to get you out alright?" She said and tried to hold my hands but I pushed her hands away."You are so heartless, mother. What kind of thing are you keeping that you would rather exchange your daughter's life for? Is Zendaya's belonging more important to you than me?" I yelled, staring daggers into her eyes. If only I could slap her right now, I wouldn't he
ZENDAYA"And Done!!! Now take a look at your beautiful self" Mira grinned as she moved away from the mirror. She stood in front of the mirror all through the makeover, not allowing me to take a glimpse.A loud gasp escaped from my mouth immediately after I saw myself "My world Mira! I can't recognize myself" I muttered still shocked.I couldn't believe I was that beautiful. Simply breathtaking. The makeup was simple and beautiful.Mira choose a white gown body hug gown which accentuated my figure. It wasn't too tight to bring me discomfort.The skincare Sophie gave me for my scars cleared out every single spot in my body leaving me with glassy flawless skin. I'm very grateful to her for taking away my insecurities."You are so beautiful Daya. So very beautiful that I wonder if you fell directly from heaven" Mira teased making me blush."I'm nervous Mira," I said after a while as I walked back to the bed and sat down. "Why? I'm sure your mate will protect you. They should get used to
MAYA'S POVI was sitting still in the dark cell, trying my best to avoid the silver wall and bars. My body was aching from the pains and brushes the silvers caused me. Sitting down there and knowing my mates had graduated made me resent Zendaya the more.I just hope my mother succeeded in getting her to release me. She has been going to and fro Xander's house, receiving tons of Insults from Zendaya and her mother all because she's pleading to get me out.Every effort made to release me was abortive. My mother even went as far as going to beg Xander's mother but the woman said it wasn't in her power to release me and directed her back to Xander yet that witch of a girl has been refusing to allow my mother see Xander.If after all of this and I finally get released, I won't hesitate in blasting the skull of that bastard of a girl. The door opened and an officer came in. Get up, you have a visitor" he said as he dragged me up, slightly brushing my bruised arm. I muffled a screamed and f
"Hahaha, looks like the queen has arrived and oops, she heard everything" Maya said laughing like a Maniac."Maya!!!" Her mother yelled her name but she rolled her eyes acting like she doesn't give a two shit.Since you heard everything then it's good you now know how far I can go to get what was mine. You cannot come from nowhere and snatch what belongs to me. Your slutty mother couldn't snatch my father so therefore, you cannot snatch away mine. Get that into your blocked brain" she rolled her eyes.Anger flashed through my eyes, I felt like my mind was getting away. I could barely see clearly and all I could see was Maya's face and how I should destroy it.I stepped closer to her and with all the bubbling anger in me, I released my palm on her face. Only after then did I get myself back.I staggered back and looked around the room to see everyone's mouth agape. Maya was lying on the floor holding her face as tears roll down her eyes. Her mouth was equally agape.I stood still as I
