Chapter 04

LUNA

I crawled my knees up against my chest when I heard the door of the basement click in place, the door was locked and the fact that I was going to spend two fucking days there had me trembling. I rock slowly forward telling myself I have nothing to fear, the monsters that had snatched my parents from me won't come to snatch me too although that sound like a better option right now.

A few seconds passed and it felt like an eternity, the fears I tried pushing back came to the surface with full force, I let out a scream when I felt a shadow watching it, it was like the monster was trying to drag me into the shadows with him. I cried, my wolf howling in pain as I scan the room for escape even knowing fully well the councils would have made sure there was no escape for me.

The councils knew it was unusual for wolves to be scared of the dark, hell we were the creature of the night, but there was something in me, something about being in the dark makes my heart speed up in fear, I couldn't remember or control it. A few minutes later, I was crying, screaming and crashing about as I felt the shadows creeping over me.

My crawls were out and I begin to scratch my body with it, I didn't care about the pain I inflicted on myself, I just wanted to be out of this dark, cold and empty basement, to my relief the door opened and a bit of sunlight shorn into the room, someone was carrying in lap.

Suddenly I could smell danger in the hair making me now realize that at this point the dark isn't the only thing I have to fear, the two laps the people were holding were bright enough for me to see the intruders. My heart leapt in fear when the female beta stepped forward, her lips crawled up in a snarl, and her face was the look of pure rage.

"Are you surprised to see me whore?" She chuckled. "I told you, it is not over her"

"I swear... I didn't do anything" I cried as she stepped closer to me, my body shivered in fear, this female beta hated me. I could feel it but I couldn't help but wondered why I have never met her before until this afternoon and a part of me was still thankful she came in time to save it.

"Heather, please get this over with before the councils realize we are here! I want her screaming by the time we are done with her" A new voice ordered angrily.

"I agree with her" Hissed another voice. "She thinks she is so pretty she can whore around with people's hate. End this slut now"

"No...I did..." I was interrupted as a blow hit my face knocking me off balance, what reasons do they have to hate me? I had barely managed to pull myself up when another blow knocked me to the ground.

I coughed, coughing out some blood in the process. Before I could react they came upon me pinning me to the ground, fear gripped me when I saw the female beta pull out a silver knife from her back, I felt sick with both fear and anger. I have done nothing wrong for them to treat me this way.

"Let's see how you attract people's mate now" She snickered then removed the knife from its silver case. All my attempts to get away from them yield nothing, what strength does an omega has against three female betas?

I let out a painful scream as the knife pierced through the skin of my face, she dug it deeper into my skin before pulling it from my chin down to my jaw and then my cheek cutting it deeper.

I have never known a pain this strong before, my wolf howled, growled and whimpered while I scream and cried trying to crawl at their hands, I guess I managed to mark one of them with my claws cause one of them shrieked and immediately step away from me.

I couldn't open my eyes to look at them, my face burned, my inside throbbed with pain and I couldn't even cry anymore. Blood dripped down my face to the floor, I crawled into a tight ball whimpering and howling in pain.

I heard her laugh. "That scar will mark your face for eternity whore! This is a lesson to you and other slaves like you who think they are better than us in the higher ranks. You shall look yourself with nothing but disgust and think about how much of a whore you are" Her words pierce into my heart making my wolf howl.

"And oh the scar isn't the only gift I just gave you. Let's see who is going to spend money on a disgusting ugly whore" She laughed along with the two girls who had come with her. "No one ever messes with me, certainly not a slave like you" She added and nodded towards her companion, the lamp was blown out leaving the room back in the darkness it was.

I was half paying attention to them as they left the room and once again locked the door behind them.

I was dying, my wounds weren't healing, I knew I was more likely to die from the wound on my face than the councils killing me when they found out what had happened to me, they would no doubt think I had hurt myself as I did in the past when I was left in the dark, but it was never anything like this, this was barbaric, it was cruel and there were no tears left to cry.

The dark I had been so afraid of in the past seemed to calm me down it welcomed me and finally, I let the darkness pull me into its embrace.

And it felt like home.
