The vengeance of the luna

My gaze locked on the rays of moonlight dazzling through my windows. It was nighttime, and it was the day I used to visit my dead childhood friend. Whom my parents had murdered.

" Evander."

My hands clenched the sparkling necklace lying around my throat. A little soft smile stretched on my lips.

This was the only thing I of him, and he was the only one who understood how I felt in this family. I had promised myself after his death I would always be with him.

Visit him, and also, that place felt like home. It felt like a perfect place where I could step out of this cruel family and find peace. A place where I wouldn't get to see their wicked faces, and my mother wasn't just cruel; she was the devil herself.

I stepped closer to the door, frightened.

I didn't want them to know I was stepping out.

I held the door handle, and it cracked, and then I stepped out. My body could feel the guard standing outside. I tiptoed silently into the living room. Sneaking away from my parents, but then I remembered my mother and Dad had left for a pack of elders meeting.

They were one of the pack leaders in moon stone hollow. They owned the Corporate Howls company.

My cruel sibling had come out for a night, partying with the other wolves, so the house was quiet for now.

I stepped out and walked to my old rusty bicycle, stepped on it and then pulled away.

The night was cold and weary as I pedaled out on the wheels without stopping.

My mind ran through a lot of thoughts, recalling how my parents had murdered

" Evander", my childhood friend.

As I thought about it, tears dripped down my face.

In an hour of peddling, I was so deep in thought that my eyes didn't catch the huge stone on the floor. I crashed so hard, but managed to hold my stance. That's when I knew I had arrived.

It was an abandoned glass pavilion hidden in the woods, with slicked beams and a floor.

The ceiling windows let in faint moonlight, offering a vast open spark inside. Secluded from the outside world.

I stepped down and walked to a small sculptured bench, Sat on it, and I remembered how I would sit with him happily. His smiles, his voice of encouragement, and the way he talked. The way he made me feel safe.

That bench actually brought back memories. Tears spilled down my face.

But that happiness was ruined by my parents, and for that moment, everything went silent. I hated myself every day for not protecting him. Every day was painful to me, and his last words,

"Live, Freya, and stay alive." My hands sat quietly on the bench, swiping gently as tears spilled down my face.

That's when I heard it, a sharp sound, mumbling quietly.

I hesitated at first, thinking that I must have heard something else.

Then I heard it again.

I stepped quietly, following the sound.

My feet stopped. I couldn't move anymore. My eyes widened.

What did I just see?.

A man kneeling in a pool of blood, his claws dripping with blood as his head lay on the throat of a lifeless lady whose stomach had split slightly. His presence was subduing; it felt heavy. Every Aura on him made my wolf scream for me to run.

My hands began shivering instantly, and I didn't know when I stepped on a tree branch.

The man's head went up instantly, turning his gaze at me. In an instant, I could see his face vividly, even though it was soaked in blood.

His eyes locked on me, unbothered and raging in fury as tears spilled down his face.

I stared back, terrified, frightened, and I sprinted back to my rusted bicycle, stepping on it, and my leg drifted to the pedal when a devilish laughter tore through the pavilion that sent shivers down my spine.

I pedaled instantly even when my legs were shivering. I had to because he might come for me.

And something about him felt like he was an alpha.

I pedaled fast from him, and my hands trembled. heart racing.

Who was he? And those words kept pounding on my head as I pedaled fast.

And in an hour. I rode back home and sprinted inside, afraid he might come for me.

But I didn't notice my mother was already standing right in front of me.

"You runt, how dare you step out of this house?. The moment I heard her voice, my hands trembled more as I stared deeper into her eyes.

I noticed my siblings were back, each of their hands crossed together.

My mother stepped forward and yanked my hair hard.

"Don't tell me you went to that place again."

The room tore into laughter.

" He's dead. Do you forget? I killed him. I promised you I was going to take down everyone who loved you." My mother spat out. Her lips smashed into a deadly smile.

I didn't say a word. I knew if I did. I would be dead.

I just wanted to survive. I wanted to be strong enough to leave these brats. I was tired of the way I was treated, but I had nowhere to go.

"Tomorrow is the Fated Bound ceremony. Our family needs an alliance, so you have to bond to a mate. Or you will be dead if you come back home.

My heart raced more with those words. This was the third time. I was going to the Fated Bound ceremony, and I hadn't found my mate, and I knew my mother's words weren't a joke.

Isabella's eyes locked on me with a smug look on her face.

"I know I'm going to be mated to the most handsome, powerful alpha in Moonstone Hollow." She sneered.

Alexander stared at me with those deadly eyes. He had always been so cold and distant, but he was a devil.

He was an alpha, the leader of our pack. Isabella was a beta, and if she dared to mate with an alpha, she became a luna.

"Yes, ma'am," I whispered faintly. Those words left my mouth as I stepped away into my room because I knew if I told them what I saw today, they would not believe me. they didn't care.

I was frightened by what I saw today, and I stumbled onto my bed.

My hands trembling, my eyes wide open, still shocked by what I had seen, I didn't know when my eyes pulled shut.

My wolf kept screaming for me to wake up. My eyes lit open; the sunlight cut through my eyes.

Freya, Today is the Fated Bound ceremony.

I yawned so hard that I almost pulled myself from my bed. I didn't care.

I was tired of it, of how every wolf in the pavilion gave me a hideous look.

The laugh that tore from their throat each time I stepped into the pavilion.

I wasn't the type of wolf everyone wanted.

But I had to. My mother had given me a death threat. I stood up from my bed as I prepared for the evening ceremony.

__

BY EVENING.

I sat in front of the mirror in my room, my hands dapping gently on my face as I applied my makeup, and sad, unhappy, but my wolf kept cheering me up that I would find my Fated Bound today. I didn't care. All I wanted was to leave this abusive family.

When I was done, I stood up and stared at my reflection.

My average black flare gown, which looked slightly old, cut the mirror, and the flecks on the bottom of my belly almost ruined the dress.

I stepped out. I knew. They must be waiting. My hands were already trembling.

__

Fated bound ceremony!

The grand Hall was packed with wolves from every surrounding territory.

I stood there quietly, unbothered, but my mother's voice kept ringing through my mind. I didn't know what to do.

What if I didn't find a mate? Will I actually be dead? My hands shivered as I thought of it.

My eyes caught on Isabella as she was standing right with the other she wolves, her lips stretched in a soft, happy smile.

Her dress glittered through the moonlight of the ground hall.

Alexander was there. Standing like a charming prince, his hair was damp, and he was six feet tall, with golden hair and blue eyes.

Isabella was slim, slender, the kind of girl every wolf wanted. Her ball gowns were layered with sparkling crystals, earrings dazzling with the chandelier, her hair packed in her low bun. With her glittering blue eyes. That if I stood right beside her many would argue we were sisters.

The hall went silent as high ranking alphas stepped into the grand hall. Every lady in the hall began whispering with excitement as each alpha stepped in.

But suddenly an alpha stepped in, tall, imposing, his shrouded deep midnight robes.

The instant my eyes caught his, Flashes of an alpha drinking blood came through. What is he doing here? My hands shivered as I chuckled a little spit down my throat. Whispers erupted from the crowd.

"Alpha Kalean, what is he doing here?.

My eyes locked on his dark eyes, which held a dulling stillness.

"Alpha Kalan, Lunar Hunter, the ruthless alpha."

Ice ran through my veins. The man who slaughtered that woman at the old pavilion. A Voice broke out loud and clear, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hello wolves, she wolves, unmated Alphas and every wolf of different kinds. Today is a Fated Bound ceremony, as we all know. All she-wolves step forward, and unwanted alphas step forward. Let the fated bond ceremony begin," the elder said.

I stepped forward gently, but my heart was pounding fast. I didn't know why something felt strange. As I stepped forward, my heart started pounding. Right in front of the holder, she held my hands gently and drew an M symbol. A glowing light appeared; I knew. It had always been like this, and nothing ever happened next.

Then suddenly,my eyes caught a magical thread spreading across my wrist.

What?My wolf screamed. I turned to the crowd, and my eyes couldn't grab who I was seeing. Kalean the one who killed this lunar, the one who slaughtered that woman. A magical thread wrapped around his wrist. Binding us together. My hands shivered, my heart raced. What was going on? Why? Was I bound to my death?

I didn't finish this thought. When a word slipped out of my mouth.

" I reject him" The crowd exploded

I reject him."

The crowd exploded in disbelief.

"A worthless wolf dared reject Kalean."

Isabella's eyes lit up. Alexander's lips snatched a wicked smile.

" Why did you reject Alpha Kalean?" The elder asked.

I didn't say a word; my hands were trembling as I stared into his dulling eyes.

He just stood there, calm, resilient, arrogant.

I didn't know why, but Isabella and Alexander stepped out of the hall in a hurry.

I stood there still shivering in fear.

But then I sprinted alongside them, running for my dear life.

__

AT HOME.

I stepped into the living room.

Alexander and Isabella were already waiting; they had stepped out of the car earlier before me in haste. Their faces could tell everything: why they were in haste and why my mother wore a devilish face.

And suddenly, a sizzling sound tore across my face.

"How dare a bastard like you step foot on Fated Bond and reject Kalean.

My mother's hands tore across my face.

Tears spilled down my face. My gaze shifted to my siblings, who were staring at me with smug looks on their faces.

Dad sat at the edge of the dining table, calm, resilient, but it was deadly. He never said a word, not even one. His hand dug into his meal.

My mom exchanged glances with the Guards standing right beside us.

Before I knew it, two massive wolves stepped right behind me, each grabbing my hands, pinning me down to the table.

"Yes, kill her. She deserves to die. Isabella sneered.

Alexander's arms crossed against each other. His lips smashed into a devilish smile.

" Lock her in the quarantine containment." My mother said. " How dare she attend the Fated Bound? A wolfless wolf, sent to disgrace our family. How dare you reject Alpha Kalean?"

Tears spilled down my face.

I couldn't believe the family that was supposed to be my protector were treating me like a slave. It's always been this way.

"Chain her and take her to the tears of the moon."

My mother ordered.

The tears of the moon. Why would my mother take me there? That is where she treats slaves who go against her will. Why would she take me there?

"Please, Mom, don't." I cried, pleading with her. She didn't care to listen to my words.

They dragged me into the quarantine containment.

The room was filled with the thickness of demons. I was chained down to the chairs. And the heavy door slammed shut as my mother, Alexander, and Isabella stepped in with the guards. I noticed the security cameras on the wall. My gaze caught the acoustic panels on the Ceiling

My mother stepped forward. she leaned toward where I was chained

" The whip. Let me teach this filthy bitch a lesson."

Isabella handed the whip. A wicked smile tore across her face.

And in that second, a strike landed on my body, blood dripping out instantly. I forgot to mention, this was called the Thorn whip.

"How dare you reject Alpha Kalean when you know that if you reject him, this would start a war? You bastard." My mother sneered; a strike landed after.

My hands trembled as tears streamed down my face. I screamed out for my throat. My mind went back to when her smile never left my siblings, and her gaze was always on them, but to me she treated me with coldness and never made me feel I was hers.

"You worthless runt dared to reject the Moon Crest family."

"Mom, please." Hands trembling, body shivering, tears I could no longer stop kept spilling down.

I pleaded.

"I saw him slaughter a woman in front of me, and people say he is a luna hunter."

A wicked laugh ripped out from the three.

"And who told you we didn't know that?" My mom spat out, her face twisted into a hideous beast.

" Deal with her." Mom said. " Since she doesn't know her place."

Isabella stepped forward.

"You ugly wolf. You are oversized. You should be grateful to be mated to Alpha Kalean."

"Since she doesn't know how, please let's remind her where she belongs." Alexander sneered right after Isabella's words.

"Guards." My mother ordered. The guard stepped forward. " Beat her stupor until she learns her place.

Yes, Ma'am. The three stepped back and handed the whip to the guards. The door clicked open, and they input a passcode. I heard it loud and clear.

And before I knew it, a strike landed on my body.

It kept going for hours, and in that moment, my mind ran with thoughts.

I had always wondered if this family were my family. If actually I were their child, I had been abused for years by this family: no care, no attention, nobody. Actually cared about how I felt.

A scream tore out of my throat as each strike kept landing on my body, ripping my skin apart.

Well, I guess I was a disgrace to them. I was an oversized, ugly wolf who was weak. No one ever wanted me. I rejected Alpha Kalean because he was one of the most ruthless Alphas.

Every year, a she wolf who was meant to be his Luna dies. I didn't want to die. I wanted to live.

Another strike ripped my skin apart; blood gushed out.

I screamed out in pain.

" Please let me go, I kept pleading, but nobody listened. The strike kept coming one after another, until my breath started fading. Slowly, my vision blurred,

and I fell unconscious. But I could still feel the strike flying across my body.

My body kept shivering, and my hands were trembling.

Then it stopped.I couldn't feel it anymore, only the voices of the guards trembling in fear.

"What if she dies? Let's get away from here, they said, fleeing from the room.

And in that moment, everything went silent. My eyes were closed. eyes slid shut, and I dozed off. My wolf came screaming."

___

THE NEXT EVENING!

The scent of thick and dangerous filled the room. My eyes slid up; I was chained to the chair, blood dripping to the floor.

Body bruised, and my face was swollen.

Suddenly the door clicked open. Alexander stepped in with a smirk on his face as he saw the blood dripping. He held a bowl of meal.

" You look uglier now," he said. A wicked laugh tore out from his throat.

"Here," he said, pouring the food on the floor.

"Eat it, dog, and bark.

His lips stretched into a devilish Smile.

Tears spilled down my face; my hands trembled. My heart ached.

After all these years now, I know they didn't love me.

Alexander didn't just make me his enemy; he treated me like one since we were children. He would leave me out in the cold with no food, no water and for days, nobody even came to check up on me. Seven years of my mother's warm eyes and hands on the two, leaving me cold and taking the very one I love.

Then Realization sparked; if I don't leave here, I might be lying dead in a minute.

"You don't want to eat it." He laughed out loud, stepping away from the room as the door clicked shut.

My hands trembled tirelessly on the chain; I had to run away, leave this abusive home.

Freya, you know It's dangerous if you step out of the Moon Stone Hollow. The dark forest, do not think about it. Freya. My wolf kept screaming.

I don't care. I just want to leave this hideous place." I whispered faintly.

You know the pack rules, Freya. Do not step out of the Moonstone Hallow. The rogues outside will slaughter any wolf they come across.

Tears spilled down my face. I had to do this even if it meant dying.

My eyes caught the loose slick on the chain. There was hope. I turned to the cameras on the wall, even though I was weak. I knew what I had to do.

If I tried to turn off the camera, it would trigger the Alarm.

My eyes shut calmly. I felt the air for a second, and in that moment.

All cameras switched to the sides; I knew I had to do something.

I yanked my strength to the chair and pulled against the shackles using the chair as a lever of force. The metal opened without making a noise.

And in a minute the chains broke off. I noticed the cameras were on me now, so I sat quietly.

The camera shifted, and I yanked the chains off, stood up, and dropped to my knees. Pale, my rib cracked.

I also huddled to the wall where the camera wasn't monitoring.

My hands trembled.

My eyes had caught on the camera's movement, and I had noticed every movement.

I crawled, groaning in pain, to the door; My gaze shifted back to the camera, which was already pointing at me.

I held my breath.

Freya, the decision you're making is dangerous.My wolf screamed.

But I didn't care. I had to. I had made up my mind.

The camera shifted to another direction, and I entered the passcode I heard: 4.5.6.7. When Mom entered the passcode.

The door clicked opened and I slipped out gently.

My feet shook as I rose to my feet in pain; I almost stumbled on the ground. My face was bruised, blood dripping down heavily as I walked.

A voice ripped through the atmosphere that was already dense and thick.

"Go get her."

I knew it was me. I crawled to a secluded place.

I waited patiently, tears in my eyes. My hands trembled, my face bruised. I promised myself I had to leave here.

The guard sprinted past me. And I took the opportunity and sprinted away in pain. Bleeding heavily.

I had sprinted out. Then the Alarm went on.

I knew if I didn't make it, I was going to get caught.

I sprinted so fast, my heart racing, in pain, but I would not give up

My feet dug right in front of the dark forest; my body shivered. Hands trembled.

Freya, don't go in, turn back.My wolf kept screaming.

I didn't care. I'd rather die in this dark forest than be with this wicked family. I sprinted into the forest without hesitation.

My legs kept racing for hours. Suddenly, my ears twisted.

I didn't stop; my feet kept racing. My breath heavy.

My pulse was pounding in my ears, and my vision was getting blurry.

My eyes caught the eyes in the shadows.

My feet dug into the soil, that when I felt the coldness of the darkness. My hands trembled.

Body shivering.

A massive Rogue stormed out from the shadows, his fangs coated in blood as he growled.

My feet shivered, and I stumbled back. My gaze locked on the Rogue.

"Step back," I screamed.

But it didn't listen. And in a minute it closed in.

Five massive rogues stormed out from the shadows, growling as spit escaped their mouths.

My feet were shivering that I didn't notice a huge rock right in front of me.

My feet tripped on it, and it twisted.

I stumbled to the floor, weak and pale, hands trembling.

I warned you, Freya. My wolf kept screaming.

My eyes slid shut, waiting for death.

The rogues stepped forward. Tearing me piece by piece, blood dripping.

My throat tore out a scream that ripped the forest. My breath was fading

Suddenly, I felt a heavy blood splash down my face.

The rogues growled in pain. A loud howl rumbled out.

The last word I heard was.

" Mate."

KALEAN POV.

I had been ripping the dark forest apart, searching for the silver bane's heart.

I felt I had found it. When my ears twisted, I heard a sound that tore through the bushes.

I followed the sound with my instinct; that was when I saw her, Freya, the girl who had rejected me.

Bruised and weak, the rogues were ripping her apart piece by piece.

I hesitated about leaving. Then a thought came to my mind.

"Why was she in the dark forest? The only reason she is here is if she was trying to escape.

My jaw tightened, my eyes narrowed. She dared try to escape from me. I wanted to make her suffer the pain of rejecting me.

I stepped towards the rogues; my claws slid out, digging into a rogue's skull. Blood dripped from his skull. It dropped to his knees instantly.

I shifted to the rogues on the right. My claws dug into his heart, ripping him apart as his body split into two. In a second, blood splashed on my face. A loud howl rumbled among the rogues.

I stormed forward, my claws dug into a rogue's shoulder, tearing his heart apart.

The two other rogues didn't retreat. They stood firm, ready to fight. I didn't hesitate; I stormed towards them, my claws on each of their throat, ripping their heads off in an instant.

And for that moment, they were silent.

I scooped down to her unconscious body. My eyes caught her fading breath as she muttered.

"Please save me."

My ears twisted as I heard a sharp sound of water dripping down. I didn't know where it was.

I still saved her life, but I would make her suffer for rejecting me.

I took each step following the sound of the dripping water, and in an hour of tearing through the bushes, my eyes caught on a waterfall.

I gathered some leaves and placed her unconscious body on it.

My eyes caught on her twisted feet. I tore part of my cloth and wrapped it around her feet.

She groaned in pain as I wrapped it around her feet.

I leaned up to her face, bruised, swollen and pale.

I stood up, ripped a piece of my cloth, and darted to the waterfall, dipped it and went back, pressing it on her swollen face gently.

As I wiped her face, my eyes caught on her subtle chin, her soft pink lips and her long, dazzling eyes and lashes that caught the moonlight.

And instantly I felt a pull, the one I've never felt before, a burning instinct within for me to mark her.

My gaze locked on her. And in that second, I caught her scent, a vanilla fragrance, a scent I've never felt before.

My head pounded hard. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel this burning heat of claiming her? She rejected me. I can't touch her. I despise people who reject me. I want them to suffer.

But this burning instinct could even suppress my heat inhibitors.

My gaze locked on her; my inner wolf kept screaming for me to mark her.

But I mustn't in that moment; she was my enemy.

I couldn't suppress my pheromone.

What's happening? Why now? Why her? I hate her, but my wolf was reacting.

I want her, Kalean. I can't fight it.

And suddenly my scent hit through the dark forest.

How could a lowly runt get me into rut?

My claws slid out, it locked around her throat, and instantly, my lips touched hers.

__

FREYA POV.

My eyes slid open, weak and pale.

My vision was blurry; a scent ripped through my nostrils. It was so strong and soothing that weave through my veins, acting like a magical fog, dulling every pain in my ribs and limbs, replacing it with a dizzying and blurry vision and a warm atmosphere.

My head kept pounding, my bones cracked, hands were cold.

A dominant alpha scent; I can't help it. I don't know why. It felt warm and subduing, caging me into a cloud. It has a raging, burning scent.

I felt my lips on his, his hands on my waist.

I don't know why I can't push him away.

This scent. Is subduing. My wolf kept screaming for me to run. But I couldn't move and itched.

It's like I'm trapped in his web.

His hands dug into my breast, down to my soft, crispy nipple as he squeezed them gently.

I couldn't hold it anymore. A soft moan slipped from my lips, and in that moment, everything went quiet. My pains, my world, the abuse I passed through- everything felt like a burden lifted off, like I was in a never ending dream. I was so coated in this scent.

His lips grasped my mind gently back. Gently, as he kept squeezing my nipples.

I let out a soft moan; in that moment, my hand slid to his collar. Each button fell out.

My hands felt his smooth, hard chest.

His arms ran around my waist gently, and in that movement, the kissing stopped, and slowly he swiped down gently to my throat.

His lips pressed gently on them as he licked them. He stopped and pulled my dress slightly. His lips went down to my nipples. His tongue wiggled on them.

I leaned closer for his tongue to dive deeper into them. His tongue kept wiggling on my nipples, soft and calm.

A loud moan tore through my throat.

He leaned down closer. His hands swiped to my soft, wet nipples, squeezing them gently.

My hands locked on his chest as his lips swept down to my waist, down to my thighs, sucking each gently and softly.

He pulled down. My dress, leaving my panties. He also pulled them down.

His strong hands held my throat as I arched slightly. My legs tore apart, and his lips found my wet pussy. His tongue slid into my pussy; each wet gel kept dripping into them.

His soft tongue dug into my pussy, feel his hard dick through his pants. In that moment, his head slid back up to my nipples.

His lips wriggled on them as he held my throat. I gasped; a soft moan tore out from my throat, a satisfied one, then his lips went back. To my lips, a rough kiss.

Then he leaned back down to my pussy. His tongue dug on them, this time not soft but fast.

A loud moan ripped through my throat as I gasped.

His hands slid down to his trousers; he pulled them down. Now I could feel his hard dick through his pants.

He pulled it down; my hands got on his dick. The savory scent hit me.

It was hard. I wanted it in me.

His dick kept diving on my wet pussy. I let out a soft moan. I was carving it down my pussy. His hand sliced to my wet, tender pussy, tingling them as his dick dug right into my pussy slowly and gently.

I let out a soft, satisfied moan.

He kept diving. He kept diving deeper, gently. In that moment, I felt my world about to explode.

And for hours, I kept moaning loudly in delight as his hand locked on my nipples.

And an hour passed, the scent started fading, and his dick pulled out slightly from my pussy.

__

KALEAN POV.

My dick slid out from her pussy satisfied and boiling in fury. Then I suddenly heard a growl from the shadows. It was near. I instantly pulled out my dick, and she dozed off instantly, and I placed her dress on her.

I stood up, put on my clothes, and stepped into the shadows.

__

FREYA POV.

My eyes slid open gently, my head pounding heavily. I held them, screaming out in pain.

My vision was blurring, but my eyes instantly caught on a dashing young man

Six feet tall, red hair and blue eyes, and a sharp V-shaped jawline. And soft pink lips.

He was half naked, his gaze locked on my feet, which were tied with fabric.

My hands clenched the fabric on my chest.

My breath hitched

This caught his Attention.

"Please, are you the one who saved me?"

My eyes lit up.

His lips stretched into a warm smile.

"Yes, beauty, I saved you, he said softly. My name is Thorne.
