Healing His Broken Luna

Chapter 1 – What Now

"LUCY!" I heard Alpha Ranger roar at me through the house.

I was folding towels in the laundry room located in the basement of the pack house. My hands began to tremble as I hear him yell, "GET YOUR SORRY ASS UP HERE!"

I quickly raced up the steps and nearly stumbled over my own feet. I entered the kitchen to find Alpha Ranger standing next to his girlfriend, Miranda. She was tall, blonde and beautiful, but she was ugly on the inside. I graduated high school three months ago, and although Miranda tormented me in school and made me miserable, I still liked going. It was a break from my chores and being the pack slave.

I also miss eating every day, even though most kids hated school lunch, it was often the only meal I had.

The kitchen smelled great as the cooks prepared breakfast. My stomach growled loudly at me; I haven't eaten in three days. I only get table scraps and leftovers, since werewolves have big appetites, I often go days without eating.

"Yes Alpha." I nodded my head down in submission.

"Lucy, I'm only going to ask you once, did you take Miranda's iWatch?"

My mind was racing, and panic started to set in. She was accusing me of taking her iWatch. What the hell would I do with an iwatch? I don't even know how to use electronics; I've never had any.

I'm not a thief! Even if I don't have much besides my raggedy old clothes, I would never steal from anyone. My eyes filled with unshed tears. "No Alpha, I would never."

"She's lying babe, Lucy's the only one who's been in my room. I think she needs to be punished." Miranda screeched.

Ranger stared at me and for a moment, his beautiful blue eyes seemed to flash sadness, but it was quickly gone. He stood tall, well over six feet, jet black hair, muscled body with his arms folded across his chest. I felt a strange pull in my heart. I wanted to beg him not to punish me, to tell him that Miranda was wicked, to make him see the truth, to touch his chest! Wait, what am I thinking? Touch his chest? He was twenty-five, looked like a Greek God and still had not found his mate. Of course, everyone wanted to touch his chest!

Ranger was stone faced for a moment before he spoke. "Lucy, as punishment you will not have any food for the next three days, thievery will not be tolerated around here. You're lucky I don't throw you in the hole."

He walked out of the kitchen and left me standing there alone with Miranda.

"Watch yourself loser. I'm going to be your Luna soon and when I am, I will have the power to do whatever I want to you."

I turned around and went out the back-door walking towards the woods. Some of the wild berry bushes still had fruit on them, if I was lucky, I might be able to eat a handful before I returned to my chores. I was responsible for cleaning the pack house and all the laundry. There was no way for me to sneak food from the kitchen, I was entirely at the mercy of the leftovers and scraps that I got a few times a week.

When I reached the woods, I sat for a moment on a big fallen tree log to take some deep breaths. I enjoyed breathing the fresh pine smell as a cool breeze blew through the trees. I shivered for a moment in my baggy shirt and yoga pants.

I was small for a she wolf and thinner than I wanted to be. I was five foot, three inches tall with striking amber colored eyes. My skin was fair, and my hair was waist length and dark.
