THE ALPHA’S BROKEN LUNA

From a silver prison to be being homeless, then I had to serve as a maid at Alpha Damien’s castle. My very brutal mate had to bring me back to this pack where he ordered me to work at the security council and now I’m his maid.

It seems to me like this one month is going to be more tedious than I had imagined. If I’m not getting taunted by Alpha Hardin, I’m getting molested and if I’m not getting molested, I’m getting ordered around like a puppet.

My life is in shambles and I can’t help but weep when Ma’am Sophia calls me Luna.

I am no Luna.

From what I know, a Luna is supposed to be loved by her subjects, feared and respected and above all, a Luna is supposed to be the most important person in the Alpha’s life but that’s a total contrary situation for me and it’s very frustrating.

I wish, how I wish everything was different.

After a long day of cleaning Alpha Hardin’s entire bedroom, bathroom, office and every other part of his chambers all alone, I’m beyond exhausted and I can feel my body beg for rest. It’s too much. It’s been just a few days and I doubt if I’ll be able to keep up with this very frustrating routine.

I walk over to Alpha Hardin’s office to tell him I’m done and when I get to the door, I knock gently and when I get a signal from him to get in, I gently creak the door open and the moment I step in and my eyes land on him, my heart starts summersaulting and Lyla starts jumping around in excitement.

Sometimes I don’t understand her at all. All what our mate does to us affects her the most and sometimes I’m scared that she might just suddenly fade away because of how weak she gets, but every time we see him, she gets all excited and I can’t help but wonder why.

I notice that he’s discussing with a young girl who happens to be the same girl he was training with in his private quarters the other day.

Thick jet black hair, deep brown eyes, thick brows, plumb succulent lips… they are definitely siblings.

That must be Kylie, Alpha Hardin’s only sister. She’s quite popular in the pack.

I wait for him to finish talking with her before I greet so he doesn’t get offended.

“What are you doing here?” He asks rudely as he shoots me a piercing gaze.

I’m used to it by now so I don’t flinch in fear anymore, I just bow my head down to show him respect as Alpha.

“I’m done with the cleaning and I’ll be retiring to the servant quarters now” I inform.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Was everything done properly?”

“I can bet my life on that Alpha” I reply calmly and I can feel his gaze boring a hole on my forehead but I don’t look up at him.

His eyes are the last thing I want to see. They are my absolute weakness.

Right now all I want to feel for him is hatred but if I keep staring at his charming dark shade of brown eyes, I might as well betray myself.

The mate bond is way stronger than I imagined and I wonder if he feels this way too. I wonder if he feels even an iota of love me, the way I feel for him. I wonder if he ever feels guilty for treating his own mate so badly.

I honestly wonder.

“You can leave now, if I need you, I’ll send for you and do well to report immediately I do so”

“I’ll do just that Alpha. Have a good night”

“Goodnight Reign” Kylie’s wishes as she waves with a sweet smile plastered on her very cute face and I just smile and walk out of the office. Once I close the door behind me, I lean by it and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

The air in there felt Sulphur steams and I was dying to get away from his presence.

You cannot even begin to imagine how much I fear that man.

A Luna being scared of her Alpha, what an irony!

Once I get to my room door in the servant quarters, I open up my door and when I step in, I almost die of fright when I see Ma’am Sophia seated on my bed.

“Ma’am Sophia!” I call in astonishment as I walk towards her. “How did you get into my room?”

“I have the spare keys Luna, I just came to make sure that everything was…”

“Please Ma’am, stop referring to me as Luna, you can get punished for that.” I reprimand and she just smiles.

“Alright then, I’ll call you Luna when we’re just the two of us”

“No, I don’t want you to call me Luna at all. I am not a Luna”

“We are going to keep having this conversation in circles. You are Luna of this pack and I will call you and treat you as one, even if that stubborn mate if yours doesn’t” She states and I look at her in awe.

She has got some audacity in her.

If Alpha Hardin hears her calling him stubborn, she sure will get some very severe punishment.

But, there’s something different about this woman. I can’t place my finger in what’s different about her, but I just feel that there’s something awfully off somewhere.

Something very intense.

“So, tell me, how did cleaning his chambers go?”

“Hectic! Like really hectic. All the rooms were mighty and it took me a great deal of time and energy to clean perfectly. Ma’am Sophia, do you honestly think that I’ll be able to get through this? I mean, it’s too much, especially as I have to get all this treatment from my very own mate. It drains me physically, psychologically and emotionally. Do you honestly thing I’ll get through this?” I ask almost in tears and she just holds my arms with a smile plastered on her face.

“The moon goddess doesn’t just choose anyone to be Luna…”

“There you go again!”

“Listen to me” She instructs and I look at her.

“You might be young, but are strong, you’ve got a brave heart in there and you can definitely get through this because you are Luna and Lunas don’t give up, Luna’s are never defeated by hard times. So my dear, be strong and the time will come when that naughty boy will look back and regret all his actions, I just hope that happens when it’s not too late”

“I … I .. don’t understand”

“You can’t understand now, so let it go. Just freshen up while I get you something to eat”

“You..”

“It’s not up for a debate Luna” She cuts me off and I just exhale heavily and sit still.

“Alpha Hardin asked me about the incident with my former roommates this morning”

“Oh, yeah, I sent word to him and not to worry, he has given them the punishment they deserve”

“I didn’t even think he would care”

“Honey, sexual harassment is a big crime in Wall Street Pack and everyone knows the punishment to that and also, you are his mate. No matter the situation between the two of you, it’s only normal for him to get alarmed and furious when he hears that someone tried to touch what’s his” She says with a smile that gets me all confused.

Why is she always talking in parables?

“What’s his?” I ask in confusion and she rises up from the bed. “Come on, don’t leave me in suspense, tell me what you mean by it’s only normal for him to get alarmed when someone tries to touch what’s his”

“You’re so innocent that I find it very adorable, Hardin has no idea what he’s missing.”

“Ma’am…”

“I’ll just bring your food” Then she walks out of the bedroom and I just shake my…”

Wait… did she just say “Hardin?”

Like she called her Alpha by his name!

What the actual hell?

Who exactly is that woman?
