Chapter 18
Reign’S POV
I was immediately taken to the security council as instructed by the Alpha where I was asked to join the female security guards at the castle who were not very nice to me. No one talked to all day. They kept giving me spiteful glares and if looks could kill, I would be dead and forgotten by now.
They all hate me and I know it’s because they all think I killed my sister, their future Luna. I have been treated like an outcast and there’s no one I can run to.
My mentor, the only person who could help me out was killed and my father doesn’t even want to see my face.
One month, I have just one month to endure all this and after that, I will be free again.
It’s past seven pm and I have been dismissed for the day, the head of the security gave me a map to use to trace my bedroom and he made mention that I would be sharing it with three other females.
That made me think of Tasha and Avery. They were such good room mates and I hate that I had to leave without letting any of them know.
No one likes me and I now I have to share a room with three other females who do not like me, I can only imagine what I’ll go through in their hands.
“Now! I said do it now, release your paws!” I hear a loud voice order and I tremble in fear, hoping the order is not for me. The voice sounded very loud and terrific. Like that of Alpha Hardin.
I walk to the direction from which the voice came from and when I am close, I see a big doubled door that’s slightly open. I carefully peep into it and that’s when I see Aloha Hardin training with a girl who looks younger. She is crying in her half-human, half-werewolf state and that’s when I understood what is going on.
She’s a junior wolf who was still trying to learn how to shape shift.
That’s one of the most agonizing periods of a werewolf’s life. Learning how to shape shift.
I look carefully at how the crying girl follows all of Alpha Hardin’s orders with tears in her eyes and I actually feel very sorry for her. Learning how to shape shift is already more than agonizing enough and now she has a heartless beast as a mentor.
Poor girl.
I immediately turn on my heels and walk away from the training ground which I presume should be the Alpha’s private training ground lest I get caught and punished.
Getting punished by him is the last thing I want to experience right now. Anywhere but the silver prison!
I take out the map from my pocket and try to locate my bedroom and all I think of is Alpha Hardin.
After everything, he is still my mate and everyday, I find myself wishing that things were different between us.
Every now and then, I imagine myself cuddled up in his big strong arms, waking up in his bed every morning and having everyone else call me Luna. My Mentor always told me that being a Luna was such a big deal and I also saw it when my sister, Wilma, rejected her mate just so she could be with Alpha Hardin and become Luna.
Well, I was born to be a Luna, my mate is an Alpha, a very powerful Alpha, but he despises me and now, I am being treated worse than a servant. Even the people whom I’m supposed to be ruling over, now look at me like I’m an outcast. They have no iota of respect for me, all because I’m being accused of a crime I did not commit.
No one wants to hear me out when I say I’m innocent. Absolutely no one.
If there is one thing I know for sure, it’s that for as I long I live here, my life will be nothing but pathetic and miserable. The vibe I got from others around me today wasn’t at all a friendly one, and I have to brace myself for the storm that’s coming ahead.
I finally locate the bedroom in the security bedroom quarters. When I walk over to the door, I stop and let out a heavy breath before knocking.
I have just one prayer on my mind. For my room mates to be nice to me.
Moments later, the room door opens, revealing a very frightful looking woman who looks at least forty and the moment she recognizes me, she frowns and opens the door wider. “Hello” I greet with a tiny voice.
“If I close this door without you stepping in, you’re going to sleep out here, on the floor!” She warns and immediately, I walk into the bedroom where I meet two other women, just about her age, looking just as frightful as her. They are both staring at me like there’s something awfully wrong with my face.
“So, they decided to send the murderer here, so she could kill us all in our sleep!” The fattest amongst them spits out angrily as she takes calculated steps towards me. I take a few steps backwards as my heart starts palpating in my chest. If only my left hand was still fine, I would have had no problem defending myself, but right now it is handicapped and I’m completely helpless.
These women could kill me in here!
“Is that your plan, girl p>
“No…no ma’am I deny shaking my head and she frowns.
“Liar!” She roars and I can see her eyes turn yellow. Her wolf is about to take over her and if it does, I’m going to get mercilessly beaten.
Sweet Moon Goddess, please help me.
“Rosa, not yet”
“Why not? This brat killed her sister, she needs to be taught a lesson”
“We all know that, by the way, we have all the time to do that. She’s our room mate after all. Calm down” The other woman urges and the fat woman who has got trickles all over her face, steps away from me while grunting like a pig. I don’t like her.
I don’t like any of them and I don’t want to share a room with them.
“Well, that doesn’t mean you’re going to be comfortable” The woman says as she walks over to the bed which I presume is mine and takes off the mattress from it and puts on hers.
How can one person be so ugly and evil at the same time?
“You’re going to be sleeping on the woods dearie. Enjoy” She says with a sinister chuckle as she carefully puts my mattress on her bed to make it more comfortable. They all look at me and burst into laughter.
I quietly walk over to my now empty, wooden bed and gently lay on it. I turn to face the wall and start bawling my eyes out, wondering where I went wrong.
What did I do to deserve such?
What is my offense?
