THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

Reign’S POV

I flinch in pain ask I struggle to lift up a bucket of water with my left arm. It hurts so bad but I decided to keep it a secret from the others.

So far, so good, staying here and working as a maid in Alpha Damien’s palace has been perfect and I’m beyond grateful that no one is being mean to me, even though every one has been staring at me like I was some Alien. Even when I greeted the other maids with whom I share a room with this morning, they just nodded and left.

I can’t help but wonder what I have done to deserve such treatment. I understand that I’m not their pack member, but they don’t have to ignore me all day like I was nothing.

I take the bucket to the laundry room where I keep it and make my way to my bedroom. It’s past seven pm in the evening and I’m done for the day. I need to rest before tomorrow comes with it’s own routines.

When I get into the bedroom, I meet my roommates discussing, but the moment they see me, they suddenly stop and start staring at me just like they did in the morning when I greeted them.

“Good evening to you two” I greet and they just nod their heads and I walk over to my bed. They don’t go on with their discussion.

I turn to look at them and I actually tremble when our eyes meet.

Now I’ve had it, I deserve to know why they are both give me silent treatment, this is unfair. I quietly step down from the bed and muster all the courage in my heart and walk over to them.

Never in my life have I ever confronted anyone before and now that I’m about to do it, I feel like my heart is going to hop out of my chest.

“I understand the fact that I’m a rogue, that I’m not one of you and that you have problems trusting me but please, don’t act like I don’t exist and stop staring at me like there’s something awfully wrong with my face. I honestly mean no harm and I’d really appreciate a few friends especially if they are my roommates”

I speak out my mind and I swear I feel my heart drop down in my abdomen. I have never stood up to anyone before and now that I just did, I’m nervous as fuck.

One of the girls sits upright on the bed and looks at me straight in the eyeball long and hard like she was trying to fish out all my secrets. She has got very charming brown eyes but I break the eye contact when I get uncomfortable.

“What’s your name” She asks calmly.

“Reign Logan”

“And which pack do you come from?”

“Wall Street Pack”

“Wow! You are from the badass pack, aye?” She asks with a raised brow and I just nod.

My mentor was right after all, everyone knew about my original packs superiority over the rest of the other packs

“Well, Reign, we are not avoiding you because we hate you or because you did anything wrong” She explains.

“Then there has to be another reason”

“The truth is that, we are kind of scared of you!”

“Scared off me? But why?” I as fast.

“Because you look exactly like our late Luna, Sophia.”

“Oh… I see. But how’s that even possible”

“We don’t know either, we are equally shocked to see you look exactly like her”

“That sounds really scary. But you see, I’m not your late…” I halt and crease my brows with a frown “late? Does that mean she is dead?” I ask in horror.

“Yeah”

“Oh my God! I’m sorry for your loss”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Thank you very much, but that was a long time ago and we have learned to put it behind us and move on”

“That’s actually the right thing to do. I really do apologize for any troubles I might have caused with my resemblance to your Luna, but I honestly have no clue what you girls are saying. I’m just a little Shewolf who is seeking refuge in your pack and I would really appreciate some friends. My stay here has been quite lonely and I don’t like it.” I plead and they both smile as they motion me to sit down between them on the bed.

“You signed up for this, so there’s no way you’re ever backing out of this friendship. Is that understood?”

“Yes ma’am” I answer in fits of laughter.

“By the way I’m Tasha” the girl on my left introduces .

“I’m Avery, nice to meet you Reign”

“Same here girls, thank you all very much for accepting me” I say with a cheerful smile as I hug them both.

Right now, what I need is friends and make memories that will make me forget what I’ve been through in the hands of my very own mate.

“What are you doing out here all alone?” A deep male voice asks and when I turn around to look who it is, I almost choke on my saliva when I see Alpha Damien. He’s standing starlight tall in the darkness and I can tell that he has on an all black out fit.

Black must be his favorite color.

I just pray he doesn’t start asking me questions I’m not ready to answer yet.

“Alpha Damien” I call as I bow my head down as a sign of respect to the Alpha.

“What are you doing out here all alone at this late hour?” He repeats his question but this time around, his tone is soft and gentle.

“I couldn’t get some sleep, so I decided to take a walk. I’m sorry if it’s against your rules Alpha, I will never do it again” I promise sincerely and what the Alpha does shocks me. He steps closer to me and gently places his palm on my forehead to feel my temperature.

“Your temperature is normal” he points out.

“Oh yeah, I’m perfectly fine Alpha, the fever should subsided when I took my medicine.”

“Good then, report to your chambers” He says as he turns to go and then my mouth betrays me.

“Is it true that I look exactly like your late mate?” I ask and stood on his tracts and turned abruptly to face me.

I swallow dry, nervously, when approaches me, hoping that he doesn’t lose his temper and hit me or worst still send me away from his pack.

As it is now I’m still very weak and I don’t think I can survive being a rogue.

“Who told you that?” He asks in a deadly tone and I nervously gulp down saliva.

Who asked me to talk?

“Well, through out today, everyone is in the palace avoided me like I was a plague and when I confronted my roommates this evening, they told me everything”

“I see…”

“So, is it true?” I ask and he nods his head.

“Yes it’s true. You look exactly like my late mate”

“Exactly?” I ask in surprise and he nods yet again.

“Exactly”

“Is that why you care you asked me to stay? Do I remind you of her?”

“No Reign, none of that influences the care I show to you. I think you should stop having these little fantasies of yours and just be grateful that I’m letting you stay in my pack. Now, talk no more and retire to your chambers. You are henceforth, prohibited from roaming the castle premises at during late hours” He passes his judgement and storms away.

Just great!
