Chapter 1 Episode 1

Roxanne's POV

The rain was unending, falling as if the moon goddess was angry and had sent it to show her displeasure. I stood outside in the cold, shivering as water droplets soaked through my night dress, clinging to my body.

Remembering the reason I was outside, my chest tightened and tears slid down my eyes, mixing with the rain.

"Why did this have to happen to me? Do I not deserve to be loved?"

I had lost count of how many times I had been sent out., each punishment harsher than the last. Iwas always punished for such minor things that it stunned me my mate could treat me this way.

For some reasons, I should have gotten used to it by now but somehow, each one still hurt the same. Maybe it was because each time, I found myself clinging to some impossible hope that this would be the last.

I wrapped my hands around myself, feeling the ache in my shoulders where bruises were still healing.

Phillip had beaten me just before he ordered the guards to throw me out, but even that was preferable to the words he'd spoken earlier.

"You're not worthy of the title Luna. At least Elena knows her place,"

I was merely an omega,the weakest of the weak. It didn't help that when everyone else got their wolves, I was wolf-less.

Phillip always talked about just how much he hated that I was his mate, and like the perfect Luna I was, I endured all he said.

I even endured him bringing in another woman and marking her, That day was the worst day of my life.

"Elena" The name left a bitter taste in my mouth.

She was the pack's celebrated favorite, the perfect, graceful beauty who knew exactly how to manipulate my mate's affections.

While Elena was the perfect one, the person who does whatever is needed, I was scorned and mocked by everyone.

With her charming smile, Elena had wormed her way into every corner of the pack's heart and turned them against me in the process.

They no longer looked at me with respect. Instead, they stared with barely concealed disdain, as if I was an intruder in my own home.

And tonight was no different. I was told not to come back until three days from now. I couldn't believe that Phillip had thrown me out of the pack house in the middle of the night while it rained heavily.

And it was all because of what Elena had told him.

He hadn't bothered to find out if I had done what I was being accused of.

A bitter laugh slipped past my lips as I sat down on the stone steps, curling her knees to my chest. "Was this all happening because I am a weak Luna?" I asked myself.

I was Luna, but it seemed everyone had forgotten, and if they didn't, they ignored it.

I was supposed to be strong, someone the pack could depend on. But right now, all they could think of was Elena.

I closed my eyes, trying to ignore the chill I felt. If this kept up with me being outside, I was going to fall sick. But I didn't have a choice.

I couldn't help but recall all that had happened to lead me here, the fact I was being punished for something I didn't do.

Elena had pushed herself down from the staircase and blamed me. To everyone else, I was the jealous Luna who wanted to get rid of competition, and so they believed.

The pack members had all stared at me with hatred, even Phillip wanted me pushed down from the staircase so I would feel the same she felt.

But Elena, being the white lotus that she was, begged them to change my punishment. Now, they all think of her as kind hearted, not seeing the kind of person she is truly.

And so here I was.The door creaked behind me, and I glanced back, hoping maybe-just maybe-someone would show me mercy.

Maybe Phillip decided to have pity on me, considering how heavily it rained."

My lips parted, curving downward when I saw who was standing there. It was Elena who stepped out, her face smug. She had a mocking smile on her face as she took in my appearance.

"Still here, are you? How pitiful." Elena's voice dripped with mock concern.

She tutted as she shook her head, and I clenched my fists in anger.

"What does she want now, Isn't it enough to have me go through the pain that I did?" I mumbled.

"Honestly, it's embarrassing seeing you out here. The pack deserves better, don't you think?" Elena said, resting against the door frame.

I clenched my jaw, biting back any response. I didn't want to give Elena the satisfaction of knowing that her words affected me.

"Oh, and don't think anyone's going to help you," she continued, stepping closer.

"They've all seen how weak you are, how unworthy you are of him," She leaned down, her voice lowering to a whisper.

"If I were you, I'd think about leaving. It would make things so much easier for everyone." With that, she turned and left, her laughter fading into the night, leaving me alone in the dark.

"Maybe I should leave." The thought was tempting, a form of escape. But I knew it wasn't that simple.

No matter how much I wanted to break free, to walk away from the humiliation, my heart-my loyalty to the pack and my role as Luna, wouldn't let me.

I belonged here, no matter how much they scorned me .

The night slowly passed and I didn't know how long I stayed there, was two hours? Or maybe more..

And the rain never stopped. I couldn't think of a better shelter to stay in to hide away from the rain. Also, I didn't want to go far in case Phillip decided to have pity on me who was his mate.

Hereby, I endured.

My whole body shook and my teeth clattered. I could barely keep myself up as I leaned against the wall.

If I had a wolf, I might have turned into my wolf form to help with the cold, But I didn't.

I felt so weak and my head spun, like I might pass out any moment.
