Scarlett:

“Good morning, little one” I smiled, lifting my daughter in my arms and sitting on the edge of the bed.

A nurse stood in the room, ensuring that I didn’t need any help while Alexander was outside tending to the pack’s needs.

I covered my shoulder before I pulled my shirt down, bringing my little one to my breast as to feed her, before massaging her back gently. This has been the first time she’s breastfed from me since I left almost two months ago, and knowing that my baby was almost four months now and has barely had my milk was enough to make me feel guilty about myself; however, I also knew that with all the circumstances that I have been through, it was better for her that she didn’t drink from my milk. At this point, I wasn’t even sure if my milk was even healthy for her to drink from at that time.

The door was knocked, and looking up, I smiled when I saw Luna Katlyn and Nia, one of the pack’s members, entering the room with smiles on their faces. I nodded at them, and watched as the nurse walked out of the room, giving us our privacy, before they sat down. Luna Katlyn simply watched for a few minutes before speaking.

“How are you, Scarlett?” Luna Katlyn asked, breaking the silence in the room. It wasn’t an awkward one, I grew used to staying quiet for hours anyway. The fact that I have lived in this pack for years made me learn how to keep to myself most of the time, and that required me to stay quiet for very long hours. A person got used to it after a while, and eventually, it was simply your ‘lifestyle’.

“I am fine, thank you, Luna” I said, nodding at the woman. Regardless of the fact that I now felt out of place, more than before at least, I still respected the woman deeply. She had taken me when I had no one in my life. My grandparents, from my mom’s side, never wanted me around after mom chose to leave their pack with her mate, and rumors had it that it was them that initially started one of the wars, including the last one, and that was what led to my parents dying. Their initial plan, as I was told, was to get rid of my father, and hopefully, me. And even if I didn’t die, in their eyes, I was a part of THIS pack, and in theory, they were right; however, mother was part of theirs, and that meant that she could go back home.

What they never considered was the possibility of her dying in the fire to keep Luna and her son safe. It was something that they never wanted, especially since they never really expected that Luna Katlyn would be visiting their pack’s ‘omega’. The odd part in this story was the fact that they had told me that despite my father being an omega, my mother was an Alpha’s born, and that was the main reason why they resented my father. A funny twisted game to find that his daughter, his pack’s omega, was mated to the Alpha. However, I, at least, carried my mom’s Alpha blood, something that everyone failed to admit, I couldn’t blame them though. They had watched many people fall and die because of those who were blood related to me, and maybe that was one of the reasons why I was exiled, in theory, to the farthest house in the pack.

“I believe that it is up to us to start calling you Luna” Nia said, making Luna Katlyn frown. Now, if I have ever seen Luna Katlyn angry before, I wouldn’t have been surprised; however, the woman was never one to be angry about titles. At least, that was how I saw her.

“She is yet to be marked, and cannot be called that until she is, Nia” Luna Katlyn snapped. I stayed quiet, not bothering to answer, not really caring if I were being honest I had more things to worry about and the last thing I needed was for them to distract me from my tasks as a mother and around the house as a member of the house. I believed that it was time to actually start getting out of my room. If Alexander and I planned on having something together, I didn’t think that it was the maids’, nurses, or the butlers’ duties to take care of the house.

“You needn’t worry about me being this pack’s Luna, Luna Katlyn” I said, snapping the woman-out-of her anger. I could tell that it was because she knew that if I were to be Luna, she would have to resign from her position as the pack’s Luna, something that Delilah has been fighting hard to reach. However, I wasn’t stupid as to try and fight the Alpha’s mother for such a position Not when I knew that I wasn’t mentally prepared for such a responsibility, and not when I knew that the LAST thing I needed was more stress on myself.

Me being a mother was enough for now, and the number of things that I still needed to fix were countless. Therefore, before anything could happen, I knew that I had to settle my own shit down, understand MY responsibilities, and force the pack members to respect me somehow. That would also have to start with this pack’s previous Alpha and Luna who saw me as nothing but this pack’s weak member.

Yes, I will never deny their love for me, and I would never deny them treating me as a daughter; however, I will also not deny the fact that they too have caused me enough pain to last me centuries of needing recovery. The number of toilets that I have cleaned, the cooking, the dish washing. I used to think that it was something that she was trying to teach me because it was something that every girl had to do. Only when I found out that I wasn’t their daughter did I understand that they were treating me that way because SHE, in specific, was treating me like some maid that they were raising.

It just killed me that I couldn’t see that until the time I took off as I lay on a long bedrest.

The amount of thinking that I did was endless, and the long nights that I spent going back in my memories, trying to find the clues that told me that I was being taken advantage of without my knowledge were countless. However, there was no going back now. Now, my duty was to ensure that no one, not a single soul, managed to take advantage of my daughter. My baby girl was to be my pride and glory, and I wasn’t going to allow anyone, regardless of who they were, to break her heart. I was going to protect her with my life if I needed to, but I wasn’t going to allow them to treat her the way that they treated me.

“And need I ask what do you mean by that?” Luna Katlyn asked, clearly sounding offended by my words. I smiled at my daughter as she removed her mouth from my nipple, and covering myself, I fixed my shirt before raising my daughter to lay her head on my shoulder as I burped her. I kissed her cheek before looking at Alexander’s mum who was waiting for me to respond.

it means that I have no intentions of taking your place as this pack’s Luna. If that is what you are worried about, then you can rest assured. I am happy raising my daughter the way that I am. Luna, omega, beta, these titles are the least of my concern right now” I said, answering her.

“You seemed to have forgotten your limits” Luna Katlyn stated coldly “a slap or two should remind you of who is standing in front of you, and believe me, you being my son’s mate would make no difference to me. Therefore, mind your limits with me before I force you to”

“For a person who has pretended to love me as a mother, recalling how many times you have slapped me, spanked, locked, insulted, or even had me washing your toilets makes me regret ever calling you mum” I said, remembering the fact that as a child, I actually believed that she was my mother, reminding her of it,. “I just couldn’t understand how I didn’t see the amount of abuse that she has put me through compared to anyone else in this pack, and how I was still more than willing to give her my love and earn hers.

“I have raised you up as my daughter, and if you are ignorant to remember that, then I believe that speaking to you is pointless. However, I will have you remember, had it not been for me, you would have been eaten by the other wolves” she said, getting up from her place. She nodded at Nia to follow her, and opening the door, her next words caught roe off guard, annoying me more than I let out in front of my daughter who was currently closing her eyes to sleep, forcing me to stay calm so as not to scare her.

“The next time you cross your limits with me, or think that you can, I will be sure to take my 1

granddaughter from you, and believe me, she can be fed porridge for all I care. She does not need your milk; therefore, I suggest, from now on, that you remind yourself of your limits; otherwise, I will be the one reminding you of them” Luna Katlyn said, walking out of the room before she could hear my response. I simply rolled my eyes, as I looked at my baby girl as l got up to put her in her crib. l smiled at her and ran my finger over her belly, my chest swelling when t saw that she was growing big, and more beautiful with each passing day, making me grow attached to her.

“They can all dream of taking you from me, bambina, 1 won’t let them separate us, okay?”
