Chapter: 3

I managed to make it to my room and immediately laid down in bed, closing my eyes. I had almost drifted off to sleep, but then Luna and Beta Tena entered through the open door, catching my attention. From their eyes, I could sense trouble brewing. They seemed to be on the lookout, as if hunting for their prey. Fortunately, I was the sole person they were seeking.

"Luna and Beta Tena, what a delightful, unexpected encounter. How can I be of assistance to you?"

“Hold your tongue, mutt. It is outrageous that you have influenced my son to oppose me. Did you enjoy witnessing his disrespect towards me in front of everyone? "Beta Tena stated,"

“I assure you, Beta Tena, I never meant for that to happen”

“Apologies won't fix things now, it's too late”

“I am innocent; I did nothing why am I being yell at?”

Beta Tena shouts, "Stay away from my boy Luther, you're trying to seduce him and I won't let you get your claws in him."

I said, "I hate being the person to burst your bubble, Beta Tena. It is impossible because I clean all of your rooms. Unless you prefer the omega hoes to clean it, of course. You are left with no options. Luther is an adult. I understand why he doesn't respect you if you continue to treat him this way.” Right after I finished speaking, a hand swiftly struck my face, resulting in a mild stinging sensation. It was then that I realized Luna was the one who slapped me.

“You insolent brat, we will thoroughly teach you a lesson you won't forget. You are going to wish you were never born,” she stated.

Without warning, they charged towards me, immediately attacking with punches and kicks from all sides. With every punch, the pain became increasingly difficult to endure. I protect myself by curling into a ball and enduring the hits. My anger swelled, then Marceline intervened, saying, "Winter, I'll take care of this."

"Marceline, you know very well that's not possible."

"Winter, I've had enough of being kind. “Marceline utters with fury."

I had no choice but to agree with her. The energy I sense from her is unlike anything I have ever felt. Once she assumed control, I was immediately consumed by darkness.

Upon waking up, I realized I was in my bed, with a pounding headache as I struggled to recollect what had occurred. Suddenly, everything rushed back to me in a single moment. From that moment on, the scent of blood filled the air. My eyes caught sight of blood on the ground. Additionally, the walls were covered in it, giving the impression that an artist had created this. I panicked when I sensed death had taken place. It seems like Marceline assumed she could glimpse into my mind.

“Winter, please relax.”

“Marceline, how could you possibly say that? Do you not notice the amount of blood here? We're are going to die”

“Take it easy, Winter, it's not going to happen.”

"Are you serious? Once the pack is informed, our fate is sealed."

"Winter, I doubt they'll bother you for a few days after the beating I gave them. They'll need time to heal," Marceline chuckled.

"At a time like this, you find it amusing to laugh?"

"Winter, don't be so serious. Come on, lighten up. No need to be concerned; After the ass whooping, I gave them, they will be more embarrassed to admit they got their ass whoop by a worthless slave.”

"Marceline, did you really beat them up like that?"

“Considering the black eyes, busted lips, and broken arm, their punishment was quite lenient”

"Marceline, I'm impressed," I tell her.

"Winter, I need to go back now. You should be."

“Marceline, when will I have the ability to shift and blend together with you?” I asks,

“Sadly, I don't have any knowledge about that Winter. However, I can assure you that it will occur when the time is right.”

"I have to leave now," she says before vanishing from my thoughts.

It is true, Luna and Beta Tena didn't make a single sound for three days, just like Marceline said. They hid to avoid the suffering and shame they had experienced. I wasn't concerned about it. I finished my work without saying a word.

It was smooth sailing until one unexpected day; That was when I sound of footsteps heading in my direction. The bars of my cell then opened. In came one of the warriors. I could not remember his name.

It made no difference. Besides Luther, I cannot stand anyone in this pack. The guard is incredibly young. He is approximately 5'10, with a slender frame, short blond hair, and dark brown eyes. He's not bad looking, but he's not what I'm into.

"Is there anything I can assist you with? I’m asking.

“I have been ordered by Luna to inform you that you need to pack your belongings immediately”

"What's the reason for me needing to pack my belongings? I inquire, raising an eyebrow."

“You need to hurry because Luna sold you to another pack” he says, walking away.

I suppose it is the most favorable outcome. I started right away to avoid wasting any more time. I did not have much to pack, I was able to get everything ready in just ten minutes. With some extra time, I observed the small cell that had been my room for the past eight months. I will miss it because it offers me peace and comfort when I need an escape from the outside world. The realization hit me, and I could not hold back my tears knowing I would never see Luther again. The only person who has ever shown me care and defended me to his mother. I was so engrossed in my own thoughts that I only noticed someone's presence when they cleared their throat. I spun around and discovered it was the very same guard.

“It’s time to go now,” he says.

I gathered my bag and nodded as I left the cell. As we exited the dungeon, silence enveloped us on our way to the pack house. We took a slight detour towards the front when we were nearby, which was not too distant. While passing them, I noticed that many of the pack members were standing and giving me intense gazes. While I looked into Luther's eyes.

“I see that you all gather here to wish me well. I sarcastically comment, "I feel so special," resulting in growls from Luna and Beta Tena.

“As I prepare to depart, I wanted to take a moment to thank both of you ladies for the incredible love and hospitality you have extended to me over the past months. Luna, I could not have found courage and motivation without your guidance. I would not be the person I am today if it weren't for being a woman. As a token of my appreciation, I have something for you," I say, reaching into my bag and handing her a brown envelope.

Luna stretches her hand towards the envelope, asking, "What's this? When she opened it, she discovered pictures that made her angry.

"The images depict the Alpha in bed with she-wolves from our pack. Imagine your mate is exceptionally skilled at playing games.

"Every time Alpha sleeps with a woman, Luna, you see, I take a picture; I knew there would come a day that these pictures would come in handy. Luna, today is the day when everything will be revealed.”

“Luna, the truth is that nobody in this pack holds any respect for you. You think people are laughing in agreement with you, but they are laughing at your expense. They have taken something that should only belong to you, your mate. If your mate could not respect your bond, how do you think this pitiful pack will respect you?”

Without hesitation, Luna shredded the pictures, flinging them in front of me, and unleashed a menacing growl, but it did not faze me or anyone else. It’s just something to laugh about in your head; a Luna throwing a tantrum is priceless.
