THE LUNA ALPHA MATE

“Isn't it beautiful?” Elmira gasped, probably surprised, and pulled from her thoughts.

“I'd choose the green dress,” Elmira suggested as the maid placed the clothes on her large bed and continued to style her hair.

“Between Isabella and me, who's prettier?” Elmira asked, her voice revealing her loss of control. She couldn't help it; the Alpha had never found her attractive.

“You're prettier, Luna,” the maid replied. Elmira knew it was a lie, but it was to boost her confidence.

After the maid dressed her up, she walked out of her room. She planned to surprise Alpha Luciano since today was his birthday. She has been planning everything since two weeks ago, and it must be perfect.

“What are you doing here?” A feminine voice asked, and Elmira flinched.

“Isabella! You scared me” She looked around the room, to see if Alpha Luciano was there.

“I just don't get it, are you dumb? If you wish enough, then I believe you should have left this pack already. Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?” Isabella asked, giving Elmira a disgusted look.

Feeling timid, Elmira looked down on the ground, she tried her best to avoid making eye contact with her.

“I'm sorry, I only came here to look for Alpha, if you excuse me” She made to leave the room, but Isabella held her arm and pushed her to the wall.

“And who permitted you to move? I'm not done talking” She said, holding Elmira's chin. She tightened her grip on her chin.

“Let me go! Isabella!!” Elmira's voice was loud, but she didn't notice.

She slapped off Isabella's hand, and Isabella moved backwards with a grin on her face.

"I only came here because of Alpha Luciano, and not for you. So, please, stay away from me” She spoke and sniffed in.

"How dare you, speak to me with that tone?" She scoffed.  "No wonder Luciano hates you so much." She rolls her eyes at Elmira.

Isabella took a razor blade from the table, gave herself a cut on her face and started screaming out loud.

“What!?” Elmira was too shocked to speak. She stood there, watching Isabella cry and blood flowing from her cheek. The sight became unbearable for her, and her body started shaking.

“You evil witch!!, are you satisfied! Answer me! Are you happy, ruining my face, I knew you were jealous of me!!” Isabella's voice was as loud as anything.

Alpha Luciano rushed into his room, only to see his beloved in pain, without even hearing a word from anyone, he proceeded to slap Elmira across the face.

“Are you crazy? What have you done!?” His husky voice ranged in the entire room.

Elmira, feeling paranoid, broke into tears, and words refused to find their way out of her mouth.

“I… I didn't do anything” She managed to speak, but Alpha Luciano wasn't ready to hear that.

“Honey, are you hurt?” He asked, reaching out to Isabella who held her cheek, screaming and crying with every single energy she had.

“Luciano!!…. my face!!… I'm ugly now, right? It's all because of this evil witch!!” She shouted, throwing kicks in the air.

“I'm sorry, let me take you to the hospital,” He said, carrying her up. He gave Elmira a murderous glare before leaving the room.

Elmira stood there speechless and shocked. Doubling, blinking her eyes, she slowly walked out of the room, heading to hers.

It's only a matter of time until the Alpha returns. She's innocent, that she knows, but there isn't a way Alpha Luciano was going to believe her.

She picked up her phone and dialed a number, but there wasn't a response. Furthermore, she dialed it again, but it was all in vain.

Her room door swung open and an angry Alpha Luciano came into view. He looked taller than before, his eyes darkened like charcoal. With each step he took towards Elmira, she could feel her heart sink.

“I.um … I didn't do it” She stammered, moving back.

Elmira's eyes went to his elongated fang, his long claws, it felt like he was going to end her here.

“Let's end it here” Alpha Luciano said, causing a ball of tears to roll down Elmira's cheek.

Almost the same second, it began raining heavily.

“I, Luciano Salvatore, the ruler of the Night walker Pack, hereby reject you as my mate and Luna of the pack!” The hatred was quite evident in his tone. And just like a biscuit crushed into pieces, Elmira's heart was broken.

“Accept the rejection!” He yelled, his muscles and veins bulging, his face more terrifying than an evil owl at night.

“I can't… I can't accept it,” she sobbed, her gaze locked with his, but Luciano's heart was already set!

“Don't let me be the cause of your death” He spoke, and Elmira swallowed hard.

If there's one thing she's learned, it's to never take his words for granted.

“I accept the rejection” She finally spoke out.

“Good! Guards!!” He called, and they assembled.”throw this woman out of my sight!.. Don't you ever step foot into this house!! I forbid you from coming in here” Those were his last words before he walked out.

The maids stood at one point staring at Elmira, who looked pitiful and ruined. To think that the Alpha would choose his mistress over Elmira.

The pain she felt increased wildly at each step out of the house. This has been her worst fear, not being able to stand to his taste.

Standing alone in the middle of the street, body soaked, teeth clenching together due to the cold. She held herself while walking. She had no money with her, and she had no relation staying within.

This was the end for her, so she thought.

She walked for a long distance in the heavy rain, she started feeling dizzy and nauseous. She decided to stop, she sat down on the road while cars passed by.

Within a few minutes, she felt bad and she passed out.

She lay there for hours, the heavy rain falling on her. The rain stopped and that was the time, an old woman probably in her sixties came to her aid. She carried her with the help of some strangers and put her into the taxi, which drove them to their destination.

“Grandma." A boy called, as the lady carried Elmira inside their house. “Who is she?” The boy questioned, following his grandmother, to the sitting room.

“I don't know… found her lying on the street. She must be homeless” The grandma spoke, wiping off the dirt on Elmira's face.

“What if she's a rogue? We will be killed for hiding one with us, you know how Alpha Luciano behaves, he's not one to mess with” The little boy said, feeling uneasy.

“Calm down Henry. The Alpha won't find out, even if she's a rogue” The Grandma replied, giving a comforting smile.

She prepared a hot bath, before waking Elmira. Due to the cold, and constant crying, her eyes were googly and heavy.

She sat up, and looked around the house, even before a word could be uttered, tears rolled down her cheek.” where am I?”

“It's okay honey, you're safe” The Grandma replied, prompting Elmira to exhale, feeling safe.

The little boy stared at her behind the dining room. After some minutes, she went upstairs, to the place where Grandma had prepared her bath. She stayed long before coming out of the bathroom.

“Do you mind having tea? Black coffee actually” The Grandma said, handing her over a cup of coffee, in an old glass cup.

“Thanks” She muttered, taking a sip from the hot coffee.

Grandma and Henry became the family Elmira never had. She stayed indoors for weeks before she began working at a café. Grandma knew the owner well, so getting a job wasn't a problem.

Her life was getting better, that she knew. Grandma always made sure she had whatever she wanted, and slowly she began healing from the pains Alpha Luciano caused.
