My broken luna

"If you don't shift before the next full moon, I will send you out of this pack." My father barked at me. "You always act like the mistake you are."

I stood still in my father's study when he was lashing me out. I no longer get angry at him or myself when he insults me.

This is my fate. The Moon goddess has a way of punishing past offenders because I'm convinced that I was an offender in my past life.

"You haven't found your mate, you do not have a wolf. I have always doubted that you are my kid but I am very sure now that you are not."

My father could say anything else, but he knew I was his son. I am his carbon copy. The Elders in our pack always talked about how I reminded them of my father's younger self because of our striking resemblance.

"Your brothers always excel in all they do. When they were in school, they were always at the top of their class while you were at the rock bottom. Is that hard for you to be normal? To learn from your brothers?" That was the last thing I heard him say.

Fuck normalcy. What is normal is to shift, hunt, find a mate, and become a father. I hate the stereotype mentality here and the way they mistreat everyone.

I started counting the books on the shelves repeatedly. A book hit my head.

"Are you even listening to me?" I bent to pick up the book my father threw at me and I placed it on his table, saying no word.

"You zoned out while I was talking to you. You are out of your mind. Get out."

I left the study, and I ran into my stepmother and my brothers in the living room. My saliva became bitter and this unsettling feeling filled me.

"You still haven't shifted," my older brother said. His words stopped me in my tracks.

I didn't want to listen to want to sit in their midst, I just wanted to lie in my bed and listen to the rustling on leaves from my window.

"You are just impotent." My stepmom mocked me. "Even your youngest brother has found his mate."

Since when did not finding my mate become the problem, that was the least thing that happened to me. All my life, I had never shifted, and that has always bothered me. I do not even feel any energy that my wolf is in me.

My mate could be anywhere for all I care.How does not finding my mate mean I'm impotent? This woman is unbelievable.

My mom was the next in line to be an Alpha in her pack before the whole pack got attacked, according to what an old maid told me.

My parents were both werewolves. There is no way I was without a wolf.

I glared at my stepmother and my older half-brother, Reign, smacked me hard on my face. Blood gushed out of the corner of my lips. That idiot bursted the lips that just healed up from the injury I got from his punches.

"How dare you look at her like that? Are you insane? I don't blame you, since you don't know what it feels to have a mother." He laughed. His mother and our brothers joined him.

I ignored them as I was used to their behavior and bullying. They soon got carried away, gisting their mother about their hunting escapades. I snuck out of the house when they were not looking.

I always wished my mom was alive so we could be that close. I envied their relationship with their mother. My mother died a few months after she had me, according to what I have been told.

I put my hand in my pockets, after wiping the blood on my lips, then I headed to the town bar where I partied with my friends at our usual spot. The party went on as usual. Everyone was drinking and dancing.

Of course, no one is allowed to go to parties in our family, but they don't even know when I am gone. That is how unimportant I was.

Then I felt uncomfortable. After sometime I excused myself from our gathering and I went outside. The moon was full and shiny.

I remembered my father's threat. I wasn't sure if he meant it. It's not like I cared. I simply walked to wherever my legs led me to .

"Creed '' I heard a voice in me, calling my name that had never happened to me. Is it possible that my wolf has finally surfaced?

I ignored the voice. Suddenly, the hairs on my skin grew. I shifted to my wolf's form for the first time in my life. It was painful, like I heard Reign tell his mum when he first shifted.

"I don't know how you plan on dealing with me,'' I heard my wolf say to me. I felt like the way they explained it in the history books I read in my father's study.

"I am Rufous. I heard you saying you were going to deal with me when I finally show up."

I ignored him, two could play this game. He kept running, not saying things again. I felt a pang of pain in my heart and it started beating fast. My wolf stopped beside the river and he quickly hid at the back of a huge tree.

A beautiful lady with nice curves emerged from the river naked. She passed out on the river bank after she shifted her wolf form. Her scent sent tingles down my spine.

My mate! I shifted back to my human form unexpectedly, it was so painful.

I groaned, then my wolf laughed at me. I don't have control over my wolf yet. He knew it and he was using it to his advantage.

"Can you at least give me a warning next time?" I groaned and my wolf chuckled.

I rushed to her side to pick her up.

Jason

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked Rufous why he suddenly showed up.

"What do you think about how I look? I showed you my reflection on purpose by the river. I'm a big bad wolf, innit?" He faced a British accent, and it sounded funnier when I pictured him saying his wolf form.

"I know what you are thinking." He chuckled. "We are even now since I made you laugh."

"Nah. Tell me why you are just showing up." I ask him.

He didn't respond.

"Ok, did you show up because this damsel was in distress? Who is she, by the way?"

I didn't get any response from him again.

"Stop messing with me, Rufous."

"Can you keep it down? I'm trying to think about what we will do to your mate. Her wolf, Raina, is my mate. She is so beautiful, and she's as white as snow with her ocean blue eyes.."

"Shut up. If you will not answer my questions, do not talk to me." I stressed DO NOT so he would realize I wasn't playing with him.

"Ask me any other question you have not asked me today. I promise to answer you."

"Really? OK then. Why did you call me Creed? I only hear a woman call me Creed in my dreams."

"Oh that? She's your mom. She named you Creed. Your father and his wolf are shabby creatures. He named you Jason. He Changed your name."

My mom. She named me Creed.

"Are you moved?" He asked me.

I ignored him, doing what he did earlier to me.

"Take her to your pack house. Things will fall in place. She was poisoned. She probably won't know a thing when she wakes up. Her name is Chloe."

I looked at the lifeless girl in my arms and I increased my pace so I could get to the pack house real quick.

The lights in the pack house were off. Without turning them on I tiptoed in.

The lights came on and my stepmother and Reign were sitting down on the couch in the living room. I froze on seeing them. These freaks just stayed in the dark and they were talking.

"Look who's going to be a rogue soon." My stepmom jested me. "I hope you are well-prepared."

"Who's in your arms? You found your mate? Did she die already?" Reign questioned me.

"Do not deny her." Rufous growled.

I was scared of naming her as my mate so my stepmother and my brothers won't dote on her.

"She's not my mate. I found her on the floor. She was unconscious. Plus, I sure learned a thing or two about good deeds from you guys and who's going to be a rogue soon? Me? Me? No, that's not me."

"Bloody fool, you just put Chloe in a dangerous put." Rufous complained.

"Hey! What's with the attitude?" Reign hit me hard on my head.

"Calm your balls, Creed. We need to get Chloe treated. Ignore the fool. You are not strong enough to fight with me," Rufous pacified me. His favorite word is bloody fool.

I needed to get Chloe to the infirmary quickly.

"I am sorry." I apologized reluctantly to Reign so he would let me go.

"Bow your head and run to the infirmary. She looks sexy. She might be useful in the future."

My Blood boiled when I heard him talk about her like she was an object. I curled my first into balls and bowed my head, then I ran to the infirmary. I felt sick from my stomach. Rufous was right. I am weak.

I laid Chloe on the bed in the infirmary, and the nurse checked her up. She had already shifted back to her human form.

"Her human body is allergic to chlorine. You brought her in late. If you were later than this, she would have died. Where did you find her?" The nurse questioned, but it was more like an interrogation.

"By the riverside."

"What was she doing?"

"She emerged from the river, then she suddenly passed out and shifted to her wolf."

"She was poisoned. It wasn't just Chlorine." Rufous said to me. The nurse administered some drugs and injections. She gave me a bottle of ointment to rub all over her skin till the daybreaks before she clocked out, leaving me to watch Chloe alone.

"Who poisoned her?" I asked Rufous after the nurse left.

"My knowledge is limited, Creed. I am not a god. I don't know everything."

None of us said anything for a while.

"She looks ravishing, by the way. Even with the bruises on her, I could eat her."

"Shut up, perv. You can't control yourself because you have never been with a woman." Rufous said. "Raina is prettier than Chloe, anyway. I can understand how you feel. I feel the same when Raina is around."

"Hahaha. So funny Rufous, I bet you could joke that you look better than me."

"Is that supposed to be a joke? That is a fact, man. Don't play with me."

"Shut up, Rufous, piss off, stop being a chatterbox."

"Okay, I will sleep since I am tired. Take care of Chloe. Raina needs her."

"Bye Selfish wolf,"

Bye, Bloody human."

"I will rip your mouth off your face." I threatened him but he didn't respond. He had slept or was ignoring me on purpose.

I kept putting the ointment on Chloe's body, and her wounds were healing. After the injuries covered up, the pretty name tattoo she had on her chest became clear.

She wrote her name CHLOE in a gothic style that aligns with her skin. I didn't know when my fingers trailed the tattoo on her chest. I kept doing that till I slept up.

Soon, I woke up to a tight but weak grip on my neck and my legs were above the ground, raising me up in the air. The person holding my neck was so weak and tenacious.

CHLOE

I woke up. I wasn't putting on any form of clothing and a man was sleeping beside me, his hands palmed my breasts. I grabbed his neck and raised him up in the air.

I jumped down from the bed I was lying in and I pinned him to the wall. My reflexes had done that. Who was I to do this?

"Put me down, Chloe." He groaned. "You are not strong enough to do this."

He was right; I felt tired and pains in my arm while I was raising him up, but my arm seemed like it was used to that kind of activity.

"Who am I?" I growled at him.

"I'm supposed to be asking you. I found you in the forest."

Forest? Why was I in the forest? The arm I used to lift him trembled, but I didn't let him down.

"Why did you call me Chloe if you found me in the forest? You are not smart." I doubted him.

He released my grip from his neck and held my hands, then he pinned me to the wall. His scent was so attractive. It made me yearn for him. I didn't understand what it meant.

He was in control now, leaned into me and I saw my nipples harden. He looked into my eyes.

"You boldly tattoo your name above your boobs." He smirked. His grip on me was tight, but I liked how his hand felt against my skin. "I hope you don't attack anyone here regardless of what they do or else they will Bury you alive."

A woman came in and she met us in that intimate position. He cleared his throat and left my hands alone. I heard something hiss in me. I heard the hiss loudly, but it wasn't from anyone here. The other people around me didn't seem like they heard.

"I'd get going now." He picked his jacket and left.

The nurse, also the pack healer, shook her head before she looked at my body.

"He did a good job." She commended him, the guy from earlier. " So what's your name?"

"He told me I am Chloe."

"You don't remember your name? What about your pack? Are you a werewolf?"

"I don't know. I don't think I have any of those."

"Did you hear anyone speak to you? Like from your inner mind?"

"I heard a hiss in me earlier."

Another guy came in. He looked a bit like the guy from earlier, but he didn't look pretty like him. The nurse stood up and bowed to him.

He stared at me for a while before he waved his hand at the nurse and she left us alone right after he did that.

"I'm Reign. From my you'd know I am next in line to be the Alpha of this pack."

He is so cocky. He irks me already.

He kept looking at me. He ran his eyes all over my body, which made me feel dirty and disgusting. I should have asked for some clothes rather than attacking when I woke up.

I blamed my fucking reflexes. He sat close to me in the space the nurse was sitting before. I got up from the bed and pretended like I wanted to drink some water. He followed me, taking each step I took.

Who was this freak? His presence commanded his authority, and I felt like I was in danger. I remember the instruction the guy from earlier gave me, so I didn't attack him.

He kept following me till my back hit the wall. He suddenly groped my right boobs. My eyes widened at what he didn't. I could not wriggle out of his strong grip. He forced his tongue down my throat. I wanted to push him away, but I had no strength to do that.

The guy from earlier came in at that moment. Waves of relief washes through me.

"You got well and you are kissing a man." He mocked and the other guy disengaged from me.

"You are back, brother." Reign said, so they are brothers.

I squeezed my face in annoyance. "Wipe that look on your face girl, you enjoyed it as much as I did. Why are you pretending like you didn't start the kiss?"

He wasn't just a pervert; he is also a scheming bastard.

"Your mate would not be happy with this, would she?" His brother chuckled, and I felt cold air slap me hard. The tension between the brothers was obvious.

"And what is that to you, Jason?" Reign slapped the back of Jason's head. I saw Jason twitch his lips.

"I brought you some clothes." He threw a bag at me. His eyes looked like something was restraining him from attacking his brother. "Go into the next room."

"Remain there." Reign snarled. "Put on your clothes here. We have seen you naked. What is there to hide?"

I could see Jason fuming in anger, but he looked helpless at the same time. I had to obey Reign. I wore the clothes Jason got me.

"I prefer you naked, but I don't want to infuriate my younger brother here." He moved closer to Jason and laughed in his face. "What pack are you from?" He asked me.

"I don't know."

"Where are you manners? It is sir to you." He yelled. It's safe to assume that Reign has psychological issues.

"I don't know sir,"

He held up my chin. "That's more like it."

I didn't know why he didn't scare me. When he held my chin up, I looked at the shape of his head. His mom probably closed her thighs while she had him during childbirth because his head was narrow.

I suppressed my laughter with a cough.

"What are we going to do with her?" Jason asked his brother.

"She can be my mistress."

I had goosebumps at the thought of being Reign's mistress

"There's no way. I can't allow that."

"Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"I found her. I'm naturally her guardian. I'm sorry she can't be your mistress. You can give her another role."

I didn't know if I was supposed to be happy with Jason's choice of words.

"She will be our maid then."
