Scarlett:

I curled up on the floor beside the bed inside the room that they put me in My heart throbbing with each thump it made, and with each step I heard around the room, I couldn’t help but hold my breath as the wait and anticipation broke through me, causing me to fear what was to come.

Having stopped fighting, the woman who Alexander took me to had her men put me inside a room to ‘calm down’. However, I couldn’t help the pain that I felt as the walls tightened around me. The room was smaller than the one I had in my house, the house that Alexander took me from to live along his side for our daughter to be by both her parents. It had a single’s bed, a small closet that could barely fit a few outfits, and a bedside table. There weren’t any mirrors in the room; however, there was a small one in the bathroom.

I looked down at my feet, my heart racing as I feared for the fact that I would never be seeing my daughter anymore. The man was going to get back to that woman again, and I didn’t know how she was going to treat my little angel; but I wasn’t stupid to believe that she would be fair or loving to her. Alexander just took her away from me because he knew he could, and that was something that broke me more than I could think of describing, especially since he knew that I trusted him. Fucking hell, I trusted him.

The man actually banished me to this place after he made me believe that he would take me in, and that alone was enough to break both my heart and soul. In the end, he did the thing he told me that he would and took my daughter away from me after all. Had I known, I would have fought to support myself, I wouldn’t have given in to his sweet talk, I wouldn’t have stayed with him after recovering. I was just too foolish to see through his lies.

I always was.

The door was knocked twice, but I didn’t bother looking at it, my heart racing as I feared what was to come. It was a few minutes before it opened, revealing a maid and the woman who I was brought to. This time, there were no men to hold me down, but she knew that she didn’t need them. I couldn’t fight her if I wanted to. They killed that urge in me, them and the man that they called ‘Alpha of Alphas’.

Both stood by the door for a second, either worried about my reaction, or fearing an attack; however, I didn’t even have the urge to stand up let alone fight. My heart ached, and my wolf who barely managed to accept waking up again just curled up, shutting me up.

“Luna Scarlett…”

“I am no Luna” I said, avoiding her eyes. My heart throbbed, and wrapping my arms around myself, I buried my head between my knees as I tried fighting back my tears as the betrayal that I felt kept hitting me harder than I thought it could.

The woman wal-ked toward me, and putting a hand on my shoulder, she got down on her knees in front of me, and squeezing my shoulder, she had me looking at her, my chest aching as I felt like fire was being poured down on it. The betrayal that I felt was like no other, and I knew that it was not going to be one that) was going to forgive Alexander for.

The man let me trust him, had me growing attached to both him and my daughter, only to take her away from me, break me, my wolf, and just throw me away. My eyes studied the woman’s expression for a second, trying to understand what it was that she wanted for me; however, she stayed completely calm “he is going to come back for you, Scarlett. This place is to simply help you learn how to be a Luna, and believe me, the faster you learn, the faster you will be out of here”

“He no longer wants me” I said, my tone hardening as I tried putting on my best ‘tough’ face. This was a feeling that could match the one I felt when Luna Katelyn told me that she was not my real mother and that it was time for me to live in my own house. The house was completely abandoned at the time, and I had to clear out everything to clean it up My bedroom still had the crib inside it, the crib that I slept in when they first had me, and seeing it only made my chest burn with fire and rage, and this was exactly what I was feeling “therefore, there is no need for the sweet talk, I am not a child here”

I got up from the ground and turned to the maid who was holding a pair of white linens. Her eyes met mine and looked at the woman who seemed to be in charge here, and nodded. The maid walked toward me and handed me the clothes, and nodding, I walked to the bathroom without saying a word. The woman didn’t speak, and stripping out of my clothes, I put on the ones they gave me as tears fell from my eyes. My wolf was in more pain than she was ever in, and was refusing to even let me in her thoughts let alone speak to me, and I knew that she blamed me because we were sent here.

I turned on the water tap and washed my face, no longer having anything to say. My heart was already throbbing anyway, and the last thing I needed was to give in to my pain and weakness; therefore, with a heavy heart, I walked out of the bathroom to look at the woman who had her arms crossed over her chest. She walked toward me, and putting her index under my chin, she raised my face to make me look her in the eye.

“First of all, you do not walk out on your elders, Alphas, or superiors without permission” she said, forcing my eyes on hers before she pushed me back. Her eyes glaring daggers at .me as she did. She walked around me, looking at me, studying my expression, caging me with each step she took. I stayed still, waiting for what she had to say. I was already here anyway, and the last thing I needed was for my punishment to be worse than it already was.

She put her hand on my waist from the back, and pushing me forward, she forced my back to straighten, causing it ache at the suddenness of the movement “your back to be straight, and you are not to slouch”

Next, she pulled my hair in her hands, making my eyes tear up before she pulled it up. She tied it in a ponytail which made my scalp hurt “next, your hair will stay up. I do not want to see your hair down”

She didn’t wait for me to respond before she walked forward, and nodding at the maid, she watched as the maid walked toward me with a belt and a bracelet “these will ensure that you don’t slouch, and should you try any funny moves of running away, we will know”

I tried pulling my hand away, but the woman tightened her grip around my wrist, forcing me to put on the bracelet that she wanted me to wear “let me go!”

“It is not ladylike to keep talking back or to be stubborn; therefore, if you are told to do something, you are to do it. Today, it is me that you are arguing with; however, if it is your Alpha that you do this to, they could easily break your neck and that would mean that you would die” she said, glaring daggers at me as she clasped the thing around my wrist before putting on the belt for me. I looked down at her hands as I fought the urge to push her back, there was no point in doing that when I knew that my wolf wouldn’t be helping me anyway. Therefore, forcing myself to submit, I simply watched as she worked on what she was doing before taking a step back when she was done.

“Good, now, get yourself ready because you have classes to attend, and I do not expect your teachers to complain about you or your ill behavior” she said, looking me in the eye “otherwise, there will be dire consequences, and believe me, the last thing you want to deal with is one of my punishments. Because believe me, if your Alpha was ever lenient on you, I will not be”
