Sharing The Lycan Kings' Contracted Luna

PROLOGUE

Elara's POV

"I would never harm anyone, Lola. What are you talking about?" I pleaded with my best friend as she advanced towards me. She responded.

"I know you wouldn't, but he doesn't, and this is the perfect chance for me to get you out of my way." I took steps backward, torn between not wanting to hurt my friend and realizing her intentions. She a beta was much stronger than my omega wolf. She looked entranced, having just torn apart a man in the woods.

"Listen, Lola, you can fight whatever this is," I implored. She retorted.

"Fight what? Are you just too kind or a stupid bitch?"

She accused me of a crime she had committed, pushing me against a tree. I desperately tried to reason with her.

"My mate knows I could never hurt anyone. Plus, you're the one covered in blood." She continued to approach, her human form now revealed.

"Your mate! You're fucking annoying. Well not for long..You did this, Elara. Why? I thought I was your best friend." she accused in a mocking tone, pushing me against the tree again as this time I was still on the grass.

Helpless, I watched her go to the man she had killed, frozen in a half-transition. She scratched herself with his claws and brandished his knife.

"What are you doing?" I asked, attempting to stand but falling back.

"You did this, Elara," she mocked, approaching with the raised knife. Desperation in my voice, I pleaded,

"Lola, please fight this."

Looking into her eyes, I noticed a celestial gold color, realizing she wasn't a wolf but a witch. I barely had time to regret my blindness when she kicked me hard, and as she raised the knife, I tried to stand.

Before she could harm me further, she stuck the knife into her own arm, and we both screamed me in fear and her in pain, she intentionally hurt herself. Alpha Aiden arrived just in time.

"Noo!!" he screamed, rushing towards Lola.

She claimed I attacked a man and accused her of stealing my mate, she also added that I was a witch. Alpha Aiden, seemingly convinced, had his guards drag me to the car so they could take me to prison he also mentioned tomorrow I will appear in court for trial, while he embraced Lola, his attention fully on her.

The betrayal stung, especially as I reflected on how I had saved Lola from a rogue attack and pleaded for her to stay in Alpha Aidens' pack. Now, I faced judgement, uncertain of the true motivations behind this sudden turn of events. I was thrown in the back of the guards car one of the guards slapped me hard across my face maybe to keep me weak as I could taste blood. Alpha Aiden --my own mate didn't give a shit about me he just focussed on Lola who was pretending to be hurt, well she was injured but she caused the injuries herself. With Alpha Aiden's orders they drove off after injecting the silverbane in me to prevent me transitioning, as Alpha Aiden and some of the guards drove to the hospital, I overheard Alpha Aiden instruct the guard who played the driver role. Two came with me, the rest went with them. I was pretending to have lost conscious when I heard the guards discuss.

"Why don't we have a little fun with her before we take her to prison, the Alpha already tossed her" he suggested.

"Oh that will be a great idea but Alpha Aiden haven't rejected her yet" he opposed although not sounding like it wasn't a bad idea.

"Not yet, but he will reject her soon enough and no one is going to tell him anything."

"He doesn't give a shit about her at this point" he convinced making me realise he was right, this past few months after I have turned eighteen and refused mating with him. he haven't paid much attention to me, I rarely even get to spend time with him.

Suddenly the car pulled over snapping me out of my thoughts, with the two guards coming out and they dragged me out with so much force that my shirt was now torn apart. One of them finished tearing my shirt leaving me in a bra saying it was better without it.

I pleaded and screamed for help but that only earned me a slap on my face from one of the guards my legs were really tired and they were dragging me like an animal, yes I was an animal but I couldn't take that pain my wolf wasn't strong enough to. She was a bit strong when Aiden and I where on a good term but now she was just there, especially with my sisters death (a month ago) she really was down so now I was like wolfless and mateless. Finally as we reached in the woods a bit distance from the car, which they parked just by the road, one guard pushed me which landed me on the ground this time my back was on the grass.

"I've always wanted to fuck you" he said with a disgusting desire, as he undid his zip, the other held my wrists as I was struggling.

"No!!!....please!!" I pleaded this time I couldn't tell if it was tears on my face or water, I used my legs to kick in the air hoping it would stop the guy from doing what he planned to do that is when the guard holding my wrists held them with one hand and used the other to slap me so hard that my leg movements stopped. I felt the pain through my ears too.

"Better, now hurry up before someone comes here" the guard said looking at my weak body, his friend now parted my legs and kneeled between them, he placed his disgusting hands between my legs and tore my panties.

"Your pussy looks good, I can't wait for my wolf to tear it up" he added as he removed his dick, that's when we heard a howling sound of an animal.

"Be quick there's an animal heading our way," the one holding my hand seemed determined, but the other hesitated as he shoved his dick away as the howl of the animal continued.

"Awoooo!! grrrrrrr!!" this time sounding like it was close by, it wasn't a normal wolf for sure.

"We need to go now!" The guard holding my hand said as he left my hands and prepared to leave.

"What about her? We can't just leave her here" the other guard said zipping up his trouzer.

"Yes we can, that way we can save time by not driving to prison," with that said he kicked me hard in my ribs and they left literally running. The howling continued but this time with a different voice.

"Ggrrrrrrrr!"

In the woods they were so many dangerous animals that I knew for sure. I tried to stand but I couldn't and I could see an animal approaching me, it was not a wolf but a lycan I recognized due to it's humanoid muscular figure, I knew the was no chance for me even if i tried to run as this was the same creature responsible for all the killings in this woods.

I just closed my eyes waiting for death to consume me, maybe I'll finally reunite with my sister and parents in the after life.

As the creature approached, I braced myself for whatever fate awaited me.

It's bloody fangs and intimidating growls signalled danger, but surprisingly, it hesitated when it lifted me up. Pleading for release, it eventually dropped me to the ground and hurried away, leaving me.

I hoped it dealt with the two guards as I attempted to get up but failed.

'I can take over; we would feel better.' my wolf suggested, but I was angry with her.

She had abandoned me during times of pain, yes she was a special wolf could silverbane never affected her. Since my sister's death, she had been dormant, waking sporadically. The mother witch warned that another heartache might silence her permanently.

Despite her being a weak omega, she was the sweetest to me and I couldn't wish for another wolf.

'Save your energy; we might need it in prison.' I said.

'We can't go to prison like that. We have to look strong.' Lia advised.

'I know, Lia, but you're..' I paused as the guards returned.

'They are back.' I warned.

'I swear if they try anything, I will make them pay.'

Lia threatened, I knew she would as she had special powers which I never encouraged.

I pretended to be unconscious as they approached, and they refrained from any nonsense.

"Hold the other hand." one guard instructed, dragging me to the car my legs scraped against the grass and shrubs.

They showed no mercy, and as they tossed me inside. Closing the door, they started driving and cooked a story about my delayed healing.

****

The car came to a halt, signalling our arrival at the prison. The guards exited, and two officers took over, assisting me out of the vehicle. I overheard them discussing Aidens' prior notification of my arrival and listened in disbelief as they recounted the fabricated tale about injecting silverbane to suppress my transitioning as I was dangerous, along with the false claim of me attempting to seduce the guards by tearing my shirt.

Inside the prison, they measured me, recording every detail. As I overheard them adding an accusation of attempting to seduce guards for escape to my file, I couldn't stay silent.

"I didn't do it; they are lying. Look at my body-bruises and scratches everywhere. I was acused, abused and almost raped. Please believe me." I pleaded.

Initially, the officers seemed to listen, but as I finished, they burst into laughter, dismissing my desperate plea.

"Young lady, who do you take us for?" one of the officers said, dismissive and cold.

The other added, "We're trained for criminals like you. Just pray for that poor girl's quick recovery."

Tears streamed down my face as they callously handed me an orange prison jumpsuit with "22" embroidered on the back.

"Take 22 to Bianca's cell. I would like for her to welcome her." the officer instructed, and the prison guards who forcibly led me away. I pleaded.

"Please, I didn't do it... please!" The officers remained indifferent as we walked down a hallway between cells. Prisoners reached out, screaming and expressing a disturbing desire for me, not out of affection but to claim a piece of me.

Closing my eyes in fear, I couldn't even communicate with Lia, who had once again fallen asleep. Unstable as she was, I had grown accustomed to her intermittent presence. The guard remarked with a smirk.

"If these people make you scared, then you ain't prepared for Bianca." The other guard, smiling, added a chilling warning.

"I advise you to sleep with one eye open."

Thrown into the cell, I landed on my butt as the door locked behind me.

"Your new roommate." the guard declared before walking away.

The room had four small beds, and I noticed three girls already present. One, with tattoos covering her arms, seemed to be the infamous Bianca. Another, with white hair and a dangerous air, played with a knife. The third, stunningly beautiful, had transformed her prison uniform into an attractive outfit.

"Hello?" the white-haired girl called out, shaking me from my thoughts.

"Hi." I replied shyly.

"Welcome home," she greeted, though not in a friendly tone. The beautiful one introduced herself as Bianca, claiming to be the queen, with the others identified as number 5 and 7.

Still on the ground with the uniform in my hands, Bianca circled me before yanking my hair.

"I love her hair, come cut it off now!" she instructed.

Panicking, I screamed for the guards, but they ignored me, claiming not to care about what happened in the cell.

Realizing their indifference, I negotiated.

"Please, if you're going to cut my hair, just cut it short, please."

I cherished my hair, it was black and thick, I couldn't bear to lose it all. Surprisingly, she agreed.

"I can work with that, mess it up girls." I watched pieces of my hair fall to the ground.

"Good, now stay out of my business, and you'll be fine. Also, we don't support nudes here."

Bianca stated as she watched my hair being cut. Exhausted, I went to a small bed while she and her friends discussed an escape plan.

'They are assholes. Why would they cut our hair like that?' Lia remarked.

'But we don't want trouble from them. I still could not believe or understand why my best friend would betray me like this. I saved her; I even begged Aiden to accept her into his pack.' I complained.

'Don't worry, they have worse coming for them.'

'I think they are having an affair.' I said to Lia, who didn't respond.

'I wish you could tell me when you go.' I cried in my heart, avoiding drawing attention.

Bianca stared at me, her ears twitching, and then the bell rang.

Most prisoners prepared to go out, including Bianca, number 5, and 7. As the prison guards opened our cells, I refused to go as I was in so much pain. Bianca unexpectedly came to my rescue, telling the guard to bring back two plates for dinner.

Alone with Bianca in the cell, Bianca sat beside my bed. Wary, I moved backward.

"I know I am going to regret this." she said, pulling up her jumpsuit, exposing her arm. She bit her wrist and offered it to me.

"Drink now!!."

With fear, I drank the blood, feeling my body magically heal. Bruises, scratches, and rib pain disappeared.

"Wow!" I exclaimed, feeling refreshed and energetic.

Bianca, revealing herself as a vampire, said she overheard my conversation with Lia, expressing that she knew I was innocent.

"Lia is not just a regular wolf; she's special. You need to arouse her powers to take full control. Trust me; you'll be the strongest creature." she explained.

Desiring power for revenge, I asked how to arouse Lia.

"Very simple. I will guard you, but you have to be very careful. We will do it tomorrow. She won't sleep on you again; she's very weak because you don't know how to deal with her. Don't worry; tomorrow, I will assist you." she assured before unexpectedly landing a punch in my abdomen, leaving me wincing in pain and wondering what was happening.

Fear struck me as I spotted a guard approaching our cell. Did Bianca heal me only to cause fresh wounds again? Pouring water on my body, she said.

"Welcome home." just as the guard reached us.

"What's going on?" the guard asked, seemingly uninterested in helping.

"Nothing. I'm just helping my new friend take a shower." Bianca replied, water running down my body, sending cold shivers.

The guard called Bianca forward, and they began whispering. It seemed like they were having a disagreement. Was the guard defending me? I wondered. A bell rang, interrupting them.

Bianca turned to me, mocking.

"Time to take a shower, friend." and she went out.

The guard opened the door, instructing me to go and shower as it was not optional.

As I stepped out, I asked her for directions, but she remained silent and took the other way leaving me to wander around. Finally hearing Lia's voice, she guided me, and I turned left.

Entering the shower area, I saw several ladies in towels, many covered in tattoos as they eyed me. Finding an unoccupied shower, I hesitated before removing my clothes, revealing the scars that covered my body.

I walked to the unoccupied shower, feeling the scrutinising stares of the other girls. Gossiping about my appearance and the shower,

"She sure didn't."

"So she thinks we left that shower intentionally?"

"Yeah right, smart pants."

"Oh her body, gross!", they made spiteful comments.

Ignoring them, I turned on the water and started washing my body. Suddenly, a girl pushed me, and I landed on the floor on my butt, as there were no doors, just a shower point.

"It's her favourite shower." one of the girls clarified, and they laughed.

Lia's anger was evident as she asked.

'We won't let them get away with it, will we?' I calmed her down, reminding her that we had the Alpha to deal with.

Sensing Lias' calmness I got up, wrapped a towel around my body, and faced their mockery about the scars on my skin.

When most of them were done, I hurriedly washed in the unoccupied shower but not the one I was first. Afterward, I lotioned up with a new lotion as there were plenty, dressed back in the prison uniform and rushed to the door, only to find it locked

.

"Hello!" I called out, hearing footsteps but receiving no help.

After several trials I fell to the floor, tears streamed down my face freely.

'What did I do that the goddess decided to punish me this way? I've always been a good girl. Is it a crime to be kind?' I cried to Lia.

'No, it's not. We don't deserve this.'

'We truly don't, but it seems like we are hated by the goddess.' I said, then out loud.

"So what's next, goddess? First, you made me the daughter of peasants who were in a pack as slaves and treated me like trash. Then you took them away. As if that wasn't enough, you decided to take my sister from me. And now, you let them wrongly accuse me and have me in prison. What's next, huh? Rejection? Or maybe to serve the Lycan King for eternity, the one who beheads his servants for a silly mistake? Will you be happy then?" I shouted in anger.

I had enough of this.

'Not rejection, please.' Lia pleaded. I knew she just wanted to be accepted by her mate and live a peaceful life, but this turn of events had weakened her even more.

'If he decides to reject us, then I can't prevent it.' I said to her, hoping she would understand.

'No, please don't accept his rejection. Please promise me we won't accept his rejection.' she begged. Nodding to try if he decides to reject us, I cried myself to sleep.

****

I was seated on the bed, contemplating my pathetic life and considering ways to end it. The guards found me in the bathroom earlier and dragged me. Punishing me with the restriction of outdoor activities for sleeping there so my cell mates were outside with everyone else while I was left here alone.

Bianca apologised saying she did that to make the guards believe I was mistreated as they only send new prisoners to her cell if they wanted the prisoners to be bullied.

She also promised to assist me learn how to use my hidden powers. Suddenly, a guard came and called me out saying my trial was in fifteen minutes.

"Trial?" I asked, a glimmer of hope appearing. Perhaps I could be released, but where would I go?

Dismissing that thought, my sole focus was on freedom. The guard threw an old, long dress on me, explaining it was necessary for the trial as they don't allow prison clothes inside. It reminded me that I was alone, no one even cared to bring me clothes for my trial.

We walked a distance, and upon entering the court, I spotted Aiden and Lola and Aidens' parents.

They never liked me from the start.

The judge, a woman, began the proceedings.

Lola spun a fabricated tale, painting me as a murderer and a witch. Aiden supported her version. When it was my turn to respond, I requested to speak to Aiden alone and didn't utter a word to defend myself.

Outside Aiden coldly revealed that Lola was his mate and they had found out just the time I brought her home. That was the reason he didn't want her at his pack.

"But you tried to look so kind and begged me to let her stay or you'll leave with her." he mocked.

"And I fell for your kindness and let her, I swear I haven't even eyed her in any intention but the time you kept refusing me to get close to you. I got depressed I mean you were already 18 and didn't want your mate to fuck you? You made me think something was wrong with me then who better than my other mate to calm me down." he revealed.

He explained how he even promised to accept Lola and reject me but she refused because I was her friend, until yesterday when she let him mark her because she realised I was a selfish bitch.

"And to be with her I have to reject you." he added.

"No please don't, I am begging you. With all this I'm going through an rejection is going to shutter my wolf. Remember the witch said Lia will go to deep slumber if..."

"I don't give a fuck about your weak wolf." he said determined.

I continued pleading and I heard Lia crying from the inside pleading too. I tried to touch his hands but he pushed me which landed me in a handsome man's arms. He was tall and masculine I stood firm and faced Aiden who now said.

"I Aiden Shadowclaw, Alpha of Shadow Claws reject Elara Sinclair as my mate and Luna."

I nearly fell as the handsome man caught me with one hand and his other in his pocket.

Staring in my eyes he said.

"Rejections only make you stronger." I continued staring in his green eyes, which held a kindness I hadn't encountered.

He revealed his other hand as he tried to wipe tears from my face but as his hands landed on my cheeks, I felt a lightning shock and that's when I heard Lia whisper.

'Mate.'

Stared in my teary eyes for a brief moment, then pulled away abruptly and left almost running.

The prison guards returned, informing me the judge awaited. Wiping away tears, I tried to focus on the case.

'I can't believe we have a second chance mate.' Lia said sounding a little happy.

'Lia now is not the time, we are going to prison after all. I am just glad he's the reason you didn't go into deep slumber.' I said.

The court sentenced me to two years at the palace to serve the Lycan King. I opposed because it was better in prison than in the palace. My plea fell on deaf ears. They said after the two years I will come back for a second trial as the judge believed I was still in shock.

****

Royal guards came for me, and in no time we were outside. I watched Aiden open the car door for her.

'He's not even that cute.' Lia said. The reason I loved my wolf was that no matter how broken she was, she always tried to keep us strong.

The guards showed me to the car and in no time we were already at the palace.

I was greeted by two maids who ushered me into my new room which was downstairs. As the maid closed the door behind her I threw myself on the soft mattress as the prison one's weren't that comfortable.

The guards mentioned they were going to pick my stuff so I just waited bored as I wished I had my phone.

'Do you think we should run back to city B?' I asked Lia, as I was thinking of going back to city A.

I was in city B for years after my parents passed as I was pursuing a career in acting. I returned here two years ago as I was about to be crowned a Luna of the ShadowClaws pack since Aiden had taken his father's responsibilities. I only agreed because I loved Aiden and he was the reason I was able to get a scholarship in city B and lived a peaceful life.

I just don't understand why he changed so suddenly, remembering how he fought his own parents to let my parents work for their pack because he loved me, now I understood the word

"People change".

'No! We have money saved up, let's get our phone, take more freelance work and we'll go to another city where we can start out fresh.' she suggested.

A knock interrupted, as the maid from earlier signalled that the King called for me. I followed her out fixing my curly short dry hair which was messily cut.

As we reached down I was shocked at what I saw.

The handsome man from earlier, the one who turned out to be my mate, was seated in the king's seat.

Still not able to say a word as he didn't look handsome here, rather intimidating.

I just stood there shocked and now from up look he must be in his late twenties, he ordered me to sit.

"Sit down, now!" He ordered in a cold tone and I sat on a chair. He asked the other lady to leave, leaving the two of us.

He stood up and walked towards me, then around my chair, while I sat there quiet as chills ran through my veins.
