The Omega Luna: All she wants is revenge

Elana's POV

"It's none of your silly business," the guard gritted out, his eyes burning as he glared at Elana.

"Respectfully speaking," he added as an afterthought, as though he was just remembering whom he was speaking to.

His voice was laced with venom, so the disrespect was still much clear.

Closing her eyes, she let out a small breath as her stomach clenched in another wrenching pain.

Ugh. She felt too tired to even let out a scoff. Opening her eyes, her gaze followed the guard as he walked away, leaving her at the bottom of the staircase.

All she had done was ask about the whereabouts of the alpha; her husband.

"Unbelievable," she muttered.

"E-excuse me, Luna," a frail voice pulled her attention away, making her turn her head.

A maid was looking at the floor, her shoulders lowered in a submissive stance.

Elana looked at the maid, "Yes?"

"I saw the alpha go to the study room,"

"Is that so?" offering a small smile, Elana nodded. "Thank you,"

The maid shifted uneasily on her feet, waiting.

"Is there a problem?"

"It's just...upstairs..." the maid stammered.

Tilting her head, Elana nodded as understanding dawned on her, "Is he with my sister again?"

Darius had given the order that he was not to be disturbed, especially when he was with Thalina, her sister.

Well, that order didn't apply to her.

"It's alright," she waved off the maid, "I'll go there now," she added as she made her way up the stairs.

Ever since Thalina had gotten back from the Northern Capital, it seemed like Darius had forgotten he was an alpha with responsibilities. The amount of time they spent together was enough to elicit improper rumours amongst the pack mates.

It was nice that they had a blooming friendship, but that would have to stop. She would have to caution Thalina to tone it down. Such actions by an unmated she-wolf could tarnish-

"Arg--" Elana bent over, her hand clutching the staircase rails tightly as a sharp pain pierced through her stomach.

She took a deep breath before releasing it slowly as her hands rubbed her tummy. Then, she resumed her walking.

Darius had told her to ignore the pain, but it was only getting worse. She couldn't hope it could be a baby, especially after the many failed tests, but..

Just maybe.

Biting her lips, she sighted the door to the study.

"It's all your fault," Darius' voice broke out.

Elana paused her steps as she found the door to the study slightly open.

Her heart pounded in her chest as she hesitated to step forward. Instead, she peered into the study through the space.

"What do you mean?" Thalina whined, coming into view.

Elena's mouth dropped as she sighted Thalina, naked with a barely-there blanket wrapped just around her hips.

Why would Thalina be naked–?

"If you hadn't gone for that stupid bridal contest," Darius' voice interrupted her thoughts, "the accident would have killed your sister, and you would be my Luna by now,"

"The alpha king was searching for a bride! Of course, I had to go! It was my duty!"

"Duty? To whom?" Darius marched to Thalina. He had only his boxers on as he grabbed her chin, locking it in a possessive hold. "You belong to me! It was you I was supposed to marry." He growled.

"Not that wood!" He spat.

Elana's heart cut at the words he used to describe her. Still, she couldn't tear her gaze away from what she was seeing.

Thalina let out a giggle, her finger ran down Darius' bare chest, "Okay, I'm sorry," she said, "You already have me now. But, why did the accident fail?"

"It didn't," a smile spread through Darius' lips, "It achieved something even better."

"What do you mean?"

"When that woman was about to wake up from her coma, we put her back to sleep...and removed her womb,"

Shock sliced through Elana, her legs grew weak at the revelation. At the last second, Elana caught herself from staggering back as her hands went to lips.

"What? That's so evil!" Thalina gasped, her tone carrying excitement, "I love that. Serves her right."

"Sure you do," Darius turned away from her, "Now, she thinks every little pain she feels is a sign of pregnancy. Ha! That fool."

"Darry!" Thalina drawled, "I think it's time we frame her for something! I'm more than ready to be your lunal!"

Bang!

The door opened as Elana stepped in, her trembling hands on the door as tears ran down her face.

Thalina let out a gasp before fleeing to hide behind Darius while he stood there with his brow arched.

Locking gaze with him, Elana fought to read his eyes. There was no surprise or regret in them. Just cold eyes staring back at her.

"My accident last year..." Elana started, her voice low and shaky. "Was it planned?"

"What's this thing doing here?" Darius thundered, his eyes fixed on the door, "I said I didn't want to be disturbed!"

"I am your wife!" She roared, hitting her chest, "Tell me it isn't true? My baby..."

"What baby? You never had one!" He spat.

"You removed..." bile rose in her throat as she struggled to complete the words.

Shaking her head, she forced herself to continue, "No. During the accident, you said you didn't want to lose me..."

"Of course I did. Who else would handle all the work concerning the pack?"

"At least, that's one thing you're good for," he muttered.

"Thalina," she called, snapping her head at the coward that was still hiding behind her husband, "How could you? You're my sister, my...!"

"Don't blame her!" Darius cut in, coming to her rescue like the knight he could never be.

He never did that for her, not for all the years they had been together.

"Blame your father for pushing you to me,"

"Pushing?" Her eyes widened in disbelief, "Is that what you thought?"

"All this while, I have tolerated all the disrespect your pack has shown me..."

"Tolerate?" He tilted his head, his stare sharp, "You're an omega. What wolf would see you as a real Luna? You're nothing."

Anger shot through her whole being as she took a step forward, "Give me my womb...argh!" Elana staggered backwards, her hands going to her stomach, clutching it hard.

Fresh tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes as she cried, "Why does it hurt so much? Aggg!"

The pain was unbearable now.

"That's the aftermath of the procedure," Darius answered, a smile tugging at his lips, "You didn't heal properly, not that an omega would ever recover from that."

"You don't need a womb," he continued, walking towards his desk, "Thalina will bear my heir, not you."

"It's good things happened this way," He wore his trousers and shirt while Thalina had the decency to wear a robe.

Walking towards Thalina, he murmured, "I'm sorry, baby but I have to do this,"

Wide-eyed, she stared at him, "What-- thwack!"

Elana flinched at the sound, her eyes widening. Her husband smacked Thalina, whose head hit the floor with a thud, "I'm doing this for us," he pleaded.

"No," Thalina held up one hand while the other touched her cheek.

Glancing at Elana, she continued, her voice dark, "That won't be enough."

"What is this? Are you crazy?!" Elana screamed, "What kind of sick play is this?"

Thalina walked over to the desk and pulled out a knife, holding it towards Darius, "Use this instead. It's coated with silver,"

"This is madness," Elana muttered as she watched the scene before her.

"I can't hurt you," Darius shook his head, taking a step back.

"I will heal!" Thalina seethed, "I'm a better wolf than her,"

"Thalina, are really going this far?" Elana cut in.

"Oh shut it sister! I've had enough of your goody-too-shoes attitude. Watch," she grabbed and raised the knife, "This is your handiwork,"

She sliced through her arm, blood spilling out as she let out a scream.

"Guards!" Darius thundered.

In a flash, about three guards had entered the study.

"The Luna who was supposed to protect her pack has hurt one of her own. She's erratic and losing her mind. Arrest her!"

Immediately, the guards grabbed her arms roughly.

"How is that possible? The knife is in her damn hands," she screamed, looking up at them, "Do you really believe him?"

They made no move to let her go. Instead, their grip tightened, and their eyes were filled with disgust, and a bit of pleasure at her demise.

Suddenly, the veil of ignorance that had covered her eyes was removed. They never recognized her as their luna. She was so stupid to believe she could earn their love and respect.

Of course, no one was on her side.

Her knees buckled under her at the realization.

"Take her away," Darius commanded, "She will be severely punished,"

His words ignited another surge of anger within Elana as tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes.

"How could you do this to me, you bastard!" She thrashed against their hold. "I'll make you pay!"

Sending a glare towards Thalina, "You–arg!" Her words were cut short as pain sliced through her, forcing her to fold into herself.

"Argghhh!" She screamed as her vision blurred.

The guards dragged her away from the room as another pain hit her.

'Oh goddess! What was this pain?' she wondered as she lost consciousness.
