During the bulk of her life, Luna Vinx had a life that was very average. When I was in high school, I had very few friends but a lot of bullies. It was a short and fleeting experience. Despite the fact that she had a short fuse, she never allowed anyone to actually bring her down. Because she had a tendency to speak her mind, she frequently found herself in a precarious situation. To my surprise, it was a protective mechanism that she was using. She had a tendency to be a little insecure and really sensitive on the inside.
As a result, she chose to keep things to herself in order to avoid appearing weak until the point where she would inevitably lash out her anger. Because of this, she was always in trouble every time. When she was in high school, she was frequently sent to the guidance office and the principal's office for yelling at students who picked on her or for retaliating angrily against teachers. Luna was the only one who was reprimanded for her outbursts, and it looked as though the bullies were never caught or punished for their actions. It was at one point that she had informed her instructors, the school counselor, and even her parents about the bullying; nonetheless, the target that was placed on her back continued to be persistent.
When she graduated from high school a few years ago, she was the youngest person in her class. Due to the fact that she let her wolf loose on a bunch of females in the cafeteria one week before the end of the school year, she was ultimately unable to make it to the graduation ceremony. It was against the regulations to shift unless you were on the premises where training was being conducted. Due to the fact that she was younger than the rest of her contemporaries, she fell behind in her training. This is because first shifts are not given to people until they reach the age of seventeen. Although she would complete all of the human form training and do quite well, she was unable to take part in the wolf training that was available to everyone else during her junior year. She finally turned 17 and met her wolf during the summer following her junior year of high school. Her wolf was known by the name Athena. Oh, the irony of it all! It was undeniable that Athena was a formidable adversary. She possessed a demeanor that was both aggressive and sassy. When it came to protecting and comforting her human, Athena was always on edge. Consequently, Athena did not put up with the bullying that Luna was receiving from the group of girls who were present in the cafeteria. And because Luna hadn't had her wolf for a very long time, she was unable to take Athena under her control. The relocation was compelled by Athena, who then tormented the girls. It was not enough to kill them, but it was enough to make them swear that they would never again mess with her or Luna.
It was a fortunate coincidence that Sherra Lonan, the Gamma of the Night Wind pack, was present at the school for a brief discussion when they discussed financial matters. The altercation resulted in a fantastic commotion, and Luna would have to undergo disciplinary action. Prior to being brought to the principal's office, she was required to change her clothes and was given a change of clothes before being forced to change back in private. When she had finished changing into a pair of heavily worn jogging trousers that hugged all of her curves and a t-shirt that was two sizes too small, she was escorted by security down the hall to the principal's office with the intention of meeting with her. Not only did she hear people calling her names, but she also heard people laughing and making comments about her body. Her sense of self-worth took a significant hit, but she managed to keep her head held high.
When she finally arrived at the principal's office, she welcomed both Principal Finn and Gamma Sherra by saying hello. When they talked about the event, she said that the group had been making fun of her and had pushed her against a table with such force that she had injured herself. In addition, she apologized for her behavior and stated that her wolf had returned to the surface as a result of a complete accident. It was agreed by the principal and Gamma that she would have to have a conversation with the Alpha as a kind of punishment rather than being expelled so close to the graduation date.
Alpha Primo Jeremiah lived up to his name, which means butcher or hunter, and his reputation as the second largest and most powerful pack in the country because of his exceptional performance. He was a vicious killer when someone attacked his property, his pack members, or his honor, and he was responsible for training some of the most skilled warriors and hunters in the world. As a result, when it was mentioned that Luna needed to meet him, it appeared as though all of her senses had become numb. She was unable to cry, she was unable to beg, and she found it difficult to even breathe. The only thing she did was nod her head in agreement and keep her head bowed. Her instructions were to meet the Alpha the next day, and she was sent home accordingly. In spite of the fact that she was pleased with her conduct, Athena did not feel the need to apologize to Luna or anyone else. She was aware that the actions she took were appropriate. It was a good feeling. Moreover, the outcomes would be favorable to them in the end.
Luna's POV
Spirit Week is still going on at the school, and it is a time to celebrate the end of the school year as well as all of the seniors who are graduating from the educational institution. In spite of the fact that I am supposed to be taking part in all of the celebrations, I am instead being held captive until I start my studies at the college level in one month. I do not have someone who will listen to my worries.
The only thing that they take into consideration is the outcomes of the method that I solved the problem on my own. The only thing that Athena was doing was defending me and standing up for me the entire time.
What happened to the other students who were not suspended but were not permitted to return to college. I was the only one who was allowed to return to campus. At this very moment, I have no choice but to go see Alpha Primo because she is the most terrifying person I understand.
Within the dungeons that are situated beneath his mansion, it is highly probable that I will be placed there. The fact that he is a prisoner in his own home is common knowledge among everyone. Most likely, it is the one that prepares them and then consumes them.
Athena quotes her as saying, "He does consume an unusual amount of meat," and she is correct.
"Oh, the utter lack of sound! In the event that you had not made an effort to change those young ladies into minced meat, we would not have been classified as Alpha's meal. I reacted in a fashionable manner.
"Those scumbags were worthy of it," the speaker said. In addition to that! I am fortunate that I did not rip their necks off since they are pitiful bags of excrement. You are fortunate that I did not do that. "You are aware that I love you," she added as a reassuring measure.
Thena, I love you just as much as I love you. When you find yourself becoming agitated, all you need to do is allow me to exert some control over the issue. The majority of wolves, and especially female wolves, are smaller than you are. "I begged you not to let our feelings triumph over violence each and every time," I replied. "You are significantly larger than the majority of wolves."
In the aftermath of that, Athena did not utter another word. It was my expectation that she would be giving careful consideration to each and every one of her acts. My bedroom door was knocked on, and I heard someone knocking on it.
"Come in."
The entrance is reopened by Rubbie, my mother.
"Luna, Alpha wants to see you immediately after breakfast."
The fact that my eyes sunk to the ground and glanced at her feet was a clear sign of the guilt that I felt.
"That's fine. I am going to be prepared in a short while.
These are the words that I spoke with tears beginning to form in my eyes. She comes up to me and gives me a hug while I am sitting on the side of the bed. She does this when I am feeling comfortable. With the hug that she gave me, I had the impression that it was the very last one that I would ever get. And throughout that time, I was overcome with a sense of dread.
After I had finished taking a shower and brushing my teeth, I went to my closet to look for something to wear. Due to the fact that I am not someone who eats breakfast much, I had plenty of time to select an outfit. Even though I enjoy eating breakfast meals, I don't feel hungry when I wake up. Typically, I would eat either in the late morning or in the afternoon. I am still quite chubby, despite the fact that I only have one or two meals per day. That is why Athena refers to me as a chocolate goddess who is curvy and plus-sized. It's just that I'm a skinny black person. However, she is speaking about herself. In a manner reminiscent of a fancy skunk, Athena is a wolf that is all black and has a strong silver stripe that runs from her snout to her tail. Whenever she becomes agitated, her eyes, which are a golden honey color, appear to light up. Despite the fact that I am still young, I have dark skin, dark brown eyes, and a lot of fluffy black hair with silver stands mixed in. Many of these characteristics are similar to hers.
I was able to locate my favorite pair of black Capri leggings, which included a hot pink stripe on each side of my hips and went down the length of the leg. I then combined these leggings with a long pink T-shirt. In addition to putting on a pair of pink and black Nike sneakers, I also put on a pair of ankle socks. In order to observe my mother and father eating breakfast at the kitchen island, I descended the stairs and made my way down. I extend a warm greeting to them and inform them that I am currently en route to the villa belonging to the Alpha. As he takes a sip of his coffee and reads the newspaper, my father, Theodore, makes a humming sound. At that moment, my mother dropped her fork and anxiously walked over to hug me once more, which exacerbated the worry that I was already experiencing.
"If your brother is there, please tell him to come visit us soon," according to her.
Azure, who is my brother, is the most highly skilled hunter in the pack. Additionally, he resides in the pack home that is connected to the 'Alpha Quarters.'
I am embraced by my father as he slowly makes his way over to me. He does this as if there is no tomorrow for me. My dad is a man who does not speak much. Because he was born and raised in this area, he has also served in a variety of capacities within our pack. A previous alpha, he was a top warrior for the organization. As a result of his illness, Dad became one of the most skilled pack doctors in the country after he stood down from his position. In spite of the fact that he has a private chamber in the basement that I am not permitted to enter, he has educated a number of doctors, including our current doctor. Through a rear entrance, people are able to approach him, and he engages in anything he is interested in down there. It's hard for me to decide what to make of it.
Following all of the passionate embraces and brief farewells, I quickly grabbed my phone, tucked it into my bra, and then made my way to the villa. I was walking to the door when I noticed that my palms were sweating, my breathing was uneven, and my heart was two beats away from reaching a flat line. My fear was over the roof, but it was only a five-minute walk, so I wasn't exhausted at all! My hand was raised to knock on the door, and as soon as I did, the door slowly opened. At first, I was taken aback, but then I became aware of the person who was standing in front of me. As I looked up, I noticed that Alpha Primo was looking somber. He is approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 300 pounds of pure muscle. With hazel eyes and a smooth, hairless head, he has skin that is golden in color and tanned. Despite the fact that I was 5 feet, 10 inches tall, I had to crane my neck in order to meet his eyes.
It's a holy shift, Athena? I had the thought, "He's going to eat us."
"He's just big; he can't fuck wit me," she yelled out into the void.
"It is Athena's time and place. Take charge of yourself." I took a breath.
There was a pause. After taking a few deep breaths, I lowered my head in a respectful manner. "Alpha," I stated. The only thing he did was gaze at me for a brief moment. As I tried to figure out what the hell was going on, my eyes moved around in an uncomfortable manner.
He said the words "come in" with the force of a rainstorm.
I was on the verge of jumping in response to his sudden outburst, but I managed to keep up with him as he turned to enter the house. When I turned around to look at the house, I made sure to gently close the door behind me. It has a charming atmosphere. Although it was not what I had anticipated, it was enormous compared to the size of my home. It was the same size as my bedroom in the entryway. It included walls that were a cream hue, floors that were mahogany, and a long table made of cherry oak with vases of fresh flowers placed on each end. In the middle of the table was a pot that contained green ivy vines that carefully grew around the table and up the wall itself. There was a living area that was located to the left of the entrance, and it was very much like the ballroom from the movie Beauty and the Beast. It included black leather furniture that was ornamented in various places in the room. The tables were a dark brown color, and there were seats arranged in pairs in each of the areas. A sitting room that is arranged in a U-pattern with around ten black leather sofas that are arranged in a neat and even manner. For the television that was placed in front of the couch area, it was definitely necessary to place a custom order because you can't purchase that thing from Amazon. It was as large as a screen used in a movie! It came to my attention that there was a sequence of doors that connected to other rooms, and I could see a few windows that reached from floor to ceiling close to a back door that went onto a lovely garden. A few members of the pack were dispersed across the area, chatting and drinking coffee and tea in a relaxed manner.
We made a right turn at the entrance to the lobby. As I made my way inside the foyer, I noticed that there were a set of large staircases on either side of me. Both of them lead to a number of doors and halls that can be accessed in any direction. Another staircase that could be accessible from the second floor was visible in front of me. I could see it to the right. It was as if everything was both cozy and beautiful at the same time. Just as I was standing there in astonishment, marveling at all of the minute details, I heard someone clearing their throat.
"Ahem! Please come this way," Alpha spoke out loud.
After I had recovered from my blush, I followed him to the end of the walkway and into a pair of double doors. It was a room for holding meetings. On the left side of this big table, where there were around twenty-five swivel chairs on either side, Principal Finn, Gamma Sherra, and Beta John Dale were already seated. In comparison to them, Principal Finn appeared to be very small and very pale. They were a tremendous size. To the naked eye, Gamma Sherra appeared to be a surfer dude on steroids. Her skin is silky and tanned, her hair is a mixture of dirty blonde and platinum blonde, her eyes are blue, and she has a smile that is absolutely perfect. Beta John was more of a businessman who liked going to the gym. He has brown eyes and long black hair that is wavy and slicked into a low ponytail. His skin is the color of peanut butter, and his coloration is peanut butter. The Alpha was slightly larger than they were, but the difference was not significant. Yula Zev, Eve Palla, and Hera Khal, who were his minions, were the girls who were sitting opposite them on the right side of the room. They were the ones that made my life a living nightmare and were going to be ground meat because of Athena. In order to make room for me to sit down, Alpha Primo positioned himself at the head of the table and extended his hand. To my left, next to Principal Finn, I made the decision to take a seat. Even though I couldn't stand the jerk, he was the most reliable option available in the room.
Yula gave me a smirk as I turned my attention to the triplets from hell. It was nothing more than a conceited aspirant. Since she was in middle school, she had been in a relationship with Amyre, the Alpha's son. In spite of the fact that Alphas are able to discover their mates and shift sooner than other wolves, they were under the impression that they were going to become mates when he turned fifteen. However, the Moon Goddess felt otherwise. Even though Yula was heartbroken, she made an effort to maintain her good standing with the goddess by praying to her that he would never meet his mate and that she would become the next L una of Night Wind. It is very pitiful. The fact that she was easy, loose, and a guaranteed fuck was the reason he continued to stay with her. In all honesty, he is not a terrible person. When it came to what Yula and the others did to me, he did nothing but remain passive. On the other hand, despite his outward appearance, he was unable to bear to watch the torture. He was always leaving the room. Foolish and cowardly.
"We are all aware of the reason that we are here today," Beta John said. We are not going to take the problems that we are currently facing lightly. According to what I have been told, there has been a problem regarding the school for a very long time.
I gently rotated my head while my eyes were wide open and my mouth was gaping open. For all these years, did they know that I had been the target of bullying? Do we all have the potential to become Alpha's dinner? The good news is that I only retaliated against those scumbags. Please, my darling goddess, assist me. When Beta John turned his attention back to me, he appeared to smile with the corner of his mouth. However, he swiftly reverted to his previous expression of seriousness and turned his attention to the girls.
"So, you are the leader of this group, Yula?" He inquired about it.
Instantaneously, Yula protested her innocence and began to cry out in denial. Specifically, I am referring to full-blown hysterics that began suddenly and without warning. When it came to the situation, she cried, sniveled, and pretended to be absolutely innocent.
"Enough of that bullshit!" The Alpha roared.
The eruption caused each and every one of us to jump. Instantaneously, Yula became mute and trembled with horror. Her minions stared at the ground and refused to make any kind of eye contact with themselves.
"So you are trying to tell me that the surveillance cameras in the school did not show you intentionally targeting Luna on multiple occasions?! I was present throughout the occurrence in question. How horrible you are! This is evil! Your parents will be forced to endure the consequences of your actions. This is to inform you, Yula Zev, that you have been expelled from the Night Wind pack. Those members of your family who are willing to pay for what you have done are welcome to remain here as Omegas. But you should think of yourself as a rebel. Alpha made a sneering sound.
When it came to Yula, everything went to hell. As she shouted, she was on the verge of passing out. She sobbed and begged, and when the guards arrived, she was being dragged away while kicking and screaming. In an instant, she was taken away. During this same moment, Eve and Hera were both crying and shaking in fear that they would be punished in the near future. I was really astounded, and I sat there with my mouth open and my eyes wide open. They were in quite a predicament!
Where can I find the popcorn? It's a show right here! Athena let out a scream.
Alpha talked once more, as I was still looking dumbfounded and trying to think of a response to what he had said.
The question is, "What do you two have to say about yourselves?" What do you believe the appropriate consequences should be for you?
The only thing they did was cry and shake their heads.
"That's fine. Your punishment will be determined by me. Following the completion of the graduation ceremonies, the two of you will begin working as Omegas at the Warrior House. You are going to gain an understanding of what it is like to be at the bottom, to be ridiculed, and to feel helpless at the hands of many other people. As a result of your desire to be followers and fools, you will follow the maids and servants and do what they instruct you to do. The dismissal!
They recoiled in response to his words. Each of them stood up at the same time, bent their heads, and then spoke a single, uncomplicated "yes, Alpha" before hurriedly leaving the conference room.
"I never saw a wolf with their tail tucked so far between their legs," Athena laughed.
Trying to conceal both my amusement and my dread, I took a deep breath. The last person to arrive was me. The time has come for me to be punished.
Parents, please: both Rubbie Vinx and Theodore Vinx
Big Brother, often known as This is Azure Vinx Alpha, This is Primo. Jeremiah Athena
I am aware that the Alpha is going to take it very seriously when it comes to me because he is all wound up. I raised my head and proceeded to gaze around the room. They were all looking at me. I smiled a little bit, but it was just because I was nervous. When I looked down, I noticed that my fingers were twiddling, and they were such fascinating little digits.
"Luna," the Alpha began its greeting.
I was frightened and looked up hesitantly, but I stared him in the eyes. I was staring him down.
Please accept my sincere apologies for the suffering that you have been subjected to over the course of these many years. In the event that you ever experience this issue, you should talk to someone about it. Make a request for assistance. In this pack, there is power in numbers. It is impossible for us to have our numbers turn against each other.
She expressed her sincerity in her statement. There was a gentleness in both her speech and her gaze. When I turned to look at Principal Finn, I noticed that he was drenched in sweat and appeared extremely pale. 'Speak up, or I'm telling on you,' I scowled at her as if to convey the message. The Alpha was given the hint, and he fumbled his way to her.
"I'm going to apologize, Alpha. It is true that she has informed me and the other members of the staff about the issue; nevertheless, we were unable to take any immediate action because of the threats that were made by Yula and the young master, Amyre. Please accept my sincere apologies.
In a gesture of submission, she lowered herself to the ground on her knees and exposed her neck. A significant rumble emanated from the Alpha's chest. Even though he was not speaking, the force of his voice was sufficient to physically rock the room. His entire demeanor contained an air of rage. Again, I jerked my head back and peered around in a panicked manner. The heads of Beta John and Gamma Sherra were bowed before them in a sign of submission. This was not a positive development. When I turned my attention back to Alpha Primo, I noticed that his eyes, which were normally hazel in color, were completely black, indicating that his wolf was in the front. A deafening scream filled the room as Principal Finn proceeded to repent and beg for forgiveness. Despite the fact that Beta John jumped up to assist in calming the situation, Alpha was irate. I had no idea that shit would start to become this real. Because it had been going on for such a long time, I didn't find it to be a huge concern. Due to the fact that I had violated a significant regulation by shifting inside the school, I was aware that my pride was in jeopardy. While everyone else was being punished, I was just waiting in line to find out what would happen to me. In the event that they continue to irritate him, I am going to fucking die today!
After going through all of these ideas, feelings, and anxieties, I found myself beginning to cry. I am referring to a wretched wail. Although it was a quiet sob, I actually made boohoo noises after I cried out. There was a noticeable lack of noise in the room, but I was only able to concentrate on my feelings. All I could hear was my melancholy and the intense terror that I was experiencing with every trembling breath and sniffle. When I sensed a presence and heard a little shuffling, I turned my head to look up. When I turned around, I saw Alpha Primo standing behind me, handing me his handkerchief while displaying a look of compassion and kindness in his eyes.
The words "thank you" came out of my mouth as I sniffled.
He walked back to his seat after softly rubbing my back, and then he left. Following the act of wiping my eyes, I once more surveyed the room. There was Beta John, who was still standing there with his eyes wide open as he gazed between the Alpha and me. Even when he was seated, Gamma Sherra maintained the same expression with his mouth wide open. At this point, Principal Finn was still on his knees, a wretched mess who was crying and shivering. After letting out a long, deep breath, the Alpha wiped the space between his eyes.
"Principal Finn," he began his statement. "Would you kindly use this opportunity to collect yourself? Later on, we are going to have a conversation. You have been excused.
Almost immediately, the principal went, leaving me alone with the wolves with the highest ranks in a single room. The rate at which my heart beat was so slow that I was on the verge of falling into cardiac arrest! I glanced at the three of them while tears continued to fall from my eyes because there was a little period of silence. I was able to tell that they were mind-linking since their eyes were in a stupor. There was no change in the situation for a whole minute. It is quiet. Nobody else was paying attention but me. The only thing I did was glance between the three of them, anxiously waiting for someone, anyone, to respond. All of a sudden, they established eye contact, and the Alpha continued speaking.
"Luna, you have, without a doubt, violated a significant norm that this pack has adhered to for many years. Having said that, taking into account everything that has transpired, I do not believe that you are entirely to blame. During the remaining months of the school year, you will not be attending high school. You are not going to be present at the graduation ceremony. Because of the outstanding grades you have received, we are unable to prevent you from earning your graduation. You, on the other hand, will accompany me to my place of employment on the weekends until you have completed all of your education and are ready to enter the workforce.
What the hell! Do I have to put in work for him? During the subsequent four years?! That's a sentence of death just waiting to be carried out. If I prepare his coffee incorrectly or forget to give him a message, then I will be doomed to failure. That would be the end of me. My dear goddess, I beg you to tell me that this is a nightmare. At the moment, I am still soundly sleeping in my cozy queen bed at home. This would not be true. This would not be true. My cheeks were stained with tears as I chanted. I closed my eyes and chanted. The moment Beta John cleared his throat, I was abruptly brought back to the present moment. New tears had begun to gather in my eyes, and I noticed that my lip was slightly trembling.
"Yes, Alpha." My voice was shallow and trembling as I spoke.
He indicated his agreement with a nod and then extended his hand to indicate that I was fired. In order to depart, I stood up, and they followed closely behind me. Beta John allowed me to go by opening the door for me. I raised my head, nodded, and spoke a feeble sentence of "thank you." In addition to a slight smile, he bowed his head in a respectful manner. Alpha Primo spoke to me as I was power-walking to the door in an attempt to get out of this place as quickly as possible.
Following the conclusion of the ceremony, exactly two weeks from now, you will start. You should say hi to Theodore and Rubbie on my behalf.
When I heard what he had to say, I came to a complete and utter halt. A slight smile and a strong nod of agreement came to my face as I turned around. After turning around, I proceeded to nearly run out of the door. My life was about to undergo a transformation that would last a lifetime.
