Scarred Luna

Weeks had gone by and although I was feeling much better now, the full ache remained to remind me of the brutality of Lucas. As if that wasn’t enough, he still made sure to have sex with me every day.

In a way I was glad he rejected me. I was glad all I felt was pain all over again with no single ounce of pleasure.

I hated him so much. He was my own personal hell on earth.

I thought about Mia and how I’ve actively avoided her since the incident. Or maybe, she was the one avoiding me.

I was finally ready to confront her. I wanted answers and I would not find peace until I got them.

So, I was currently searching for her. I checked the field but she was not there and I rounded the palace walls in search of her.

Familiar blonde locks appeared in my sight and I almost smiled. I sighed in defeat as my heart ached.

I was about to call her name when I realized she was not alone and reflexively, I hid from them.

I peeped to see who she was with when I realized the person was wearing a cloak and I could not see the person’s face. That was weird. No normal person had their cloak on in broad daylight.

I managed to move closer to them without them noticing and I hid again, and listened to the conversation.

“No, no. Not yet. We can’t make our move yet” Mia said, seemingly getting irritated.

The cloaked person replied.

“Why not?! This is the perfect moment to strike. He won’t see us coming” a masculine voice said.

“I have a plan. A bigger plan. I finally have him wrapped around my fingers. He’s warming up to me. I just need a little more time and we’ll attack. I can’t wait to get rid of the stupid bastard. Lucas will pay for everything he has done” Mia said and I had to slap my palm over my mouth to stop myself from gasping.

Mia wanted Lucas dead?

“Fine. I’ll give you two more weeks” he said and she nodded and they hugged before he disappeared around the corner.

I hurriedly left my spot and ran back into the palace.

Mia wanted Lucas dead.

My mind raced with confusion.

I hated Lucas for everything he has done to me and my family and I know this should be good news for me but I just did not feel comfortable with knowing that he was going to die just like that.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I contemplated for a while before I decided to tell him.

My wolf warned me that it was a stupid idea but I ignored her.

I made my way to where I knew he was and I opened the door without even knocking.

My eyes widened in shock.

What the fuck did I just do?

For some reason, I completely forgot that a meeting was going on there.

I gasped as all eyes turned to me.

My eyes met with Lucas’ eyes as it blazed with fury and I gulped.

Well, I might as well just get it over with. My entire body shivered in fear.

“Speak” Lucas said and I swallowed before I managed to find my voice.

“My apologies, Your Majesty. I have alarming news. I just overheard Mia speaking to a cloaked man and plotting your demise” I said and I was shocked by the courage that oozed out of my words.

Silence.

Complete and utter silence.

Lucas blinked blankly at me and then started to laugh and the other people in there slowly joined him. I looked around in confusion.

What was so funny?

Then, he stopped abruptly and they followed suit.

“Guards!” He called and they came into sight.

“Take her to the dungeon” he ordered and my eyes widened in shock.

“N- no. I’m telling the truth” I argued, fighting them as they grabbed my arms.

Lucas looked at me with contempt.

“I’ll deal with you later” he said and I swallowed in fear as tears streamed down my cheeks.

I struggled against their arms as the guards dragged me out of the room and into the dungeon.

Hours had passed in the wretched dungeon when I got a visitor.

Mia.

I swallowed and stared at her with anger.

“I heard you said I wanted out dear Alpha dead” she said and I stood up from the filthy floor.

“You know it’s the truth you psychopath” I said and she laughed before moving closer to me.

“Maybe. But guess what’s also true? Lucas does not believe you and you are going to die” she whispered and I let out a shaky breath as realization dawned on me.

“You bitch” I said and she smiled.

The smile I once used to see as pretty now looked vile.

“You deserve to die. Just do everyone a favor and make it easy. You fucking whore. Who do you think you are?” She said and I frowned in confusion.

“Why?” I finally asked the question that had been bugging my mind since the whole incident.

“Why did you do it?” I asked again, further explaining what I meant.

“Because I hate you” she simply said and I sighed in defeat.

That was all? There was no reason. She just hated me.

I swallowed as I turned away from her and sat on the filthy floor again, as my heart shattered into a million pieces.

She eventually left and some minutes later, guards approached my cell and I swallowed in fear.

“Get up” One of them ordered as they unlocked the gate.

It was time.

I really was going to die.
