Chapter 03

LUNA

Luck seems to be on my side as a loud female growled sounded a few feet away from us making the guard immediately jerk away from me, I was pinned to the cold ground as I just narrowly escaped getting raped so it took me a while to scurried up to my feet, my gone was torn beyond repair and I had to hold it together while trying to control the tears in my eyes at the same time.

I did not recognize the angry female that stood in front of me with her fist clenched but whosoever she is, I'm so grateful and I owe her my life.

"What the hell is going on here?" The question was directed at the guard who look speechless and angry at the same time, judging from the aura the female was displaying I could tell she was a beta female werewolf which made me slightly jealous of her until her wolf was angry eyes glanced at my direction. "A slave? Is that how fucking low you can stoop just to get back at me?" She hissed her words mixed with hurt only then did it dawn on me. She was his mate!.

The guard snickered in response. "At least she was willingly and so much tighter than you plus you cannot compare with her in terms of beauty!" He lashed out at her.

Instead of getting mad at her mate, she advanced toward me ready to attack me but the guard stood between us. "Enough!" He hissed at her.

The others had probably heard the growls cause more male guards poured into the forest where we stood, my gown was tattered making me bow my head in shame, I couldn't listen to the words, sneers and growls around me, and filthy words were thrown at me, she called me a whore and vowed I would pay forever going for her mate.

Tears clouded my vision and I opened my mouth to defend myself only for a new voice which no doubt belong to one of the councils interrupted the fight going on.

"What is going on here?" He demanded making me wince, it was bad enough for almost getting raped, it was worse enough that I'm blamed for it and it will be much worse when I'm punished for it.

"One of your slaves" The beta female growled at me. "I saw her seducing my mate!" She hissed causing my eyes to snap up to hers in shock. "Is this what your slaves are trained for? To go after people's mate?" She asked glaring at me.

The council turned his angry stare on me. "Is this another one of your stunts to escape the auction happening tomorrow? Have we not warned you against this!" He hissed angrily at me making me flinch.

"I would do no such thing" I finally cried out pointing towards the slave while holding my torn gown with my other gown. "He tried to rape me. He almost did if she hadn't got here in time" I defended.

"You lying whore!" The guard spat at me. "For a slave you got a nerve to accuse one of the respected guards in the pack. I have a fucking mate! Why would I stoop so low as to rape a disgusting slave like yourself" He hissed at me and I was stunned staring at the man who rough handled and almost rape me, it took me all the self-control in the world not to jump on him and crawl his eyes out. In the back of my mind, I knew there was nothing I could say that would get me out of this situation. They already tagged me as a whore.

"I will do no such thing. You tore my clothes" I said showing them to them in case they missed that part.

"Isn't that enough lies you whore! I saw you tore at your cloth when you saw me approaching! He would not heed your charms so it was easier for you to tag him a rapist. I will make you pay for thinking you can use my mate to escape your fate. You are nothing but a useless omega slave and you shall ever remain!" She reported making more tears pour down her face.

The guard acted that way and I understood, I know how cruel men are but the mate a female who saw me fighting for my life a few minutes ago just accused me and called me a whore because it was easier to blame the slave, it ought to be the slave's fault.

"That is enough. I want you to wait at your base until further notice" The council instructed the guard who nodded and left the scene, then he turned towards the female beta. "I want you to calm down, the slave shall be punished accordingly," He told her.

The look she gave me was pure hate and I watch her walk away, my heart speed up in fear and I hope it was over. I prayed I never had to see her or her cruel mate.

I was taken home by a different guard if it wasn't for the presence of the council, I would be terrified as it is to be in the company of a male, even the council present did nothing to ease some of the fear. I was allowed the privacy to change into another garment and this time it wasn't white. It was red causing pain to twist deep inside me. I cried bitterly in my chest, several slaves were raped in the past and it never end well for them.

The councils believed I have been defied which meant my price would be low and my relatives will get nothing. At least that was the bright side of the situation.

Then I was presented to the councils or seven of the Alphas pack who ruled over us. The guard shoved me to my knees in front of them.

"Luna" One of the council hissed at me.

"You have continued to defy the Council members, today you defy not only us but yourself! You have allowed another man to touch you, a man the councils didn't sell you to and for that, you shall be punished" My heart kicked in my rib knowing the kind of punishment I will be receiving.

"You shall be locked into the dark basement with no food, water or light until the day of the auction" They declared and I couldn't help but scream.

No! They can't do this to me! I would go mad even at that moment I knew killing was better but there was something in me which kept pulling me back from making such a decision.

I screamed and begged the councils as the guard dragged me out of the courtroom. Nothing will change their minds, I was doomed.
