Chapter 86 - DNA Match“Elena.” Luna Elena’s father, Arnold called to her but she was not listening. She had left him on her table for a few minutes while he sorted some papers to be passed to the advisors of the pack after her signature and approval of them. “Elena, I have been calling for you. What are you looking at?” Arnold looked out the window as well when he noticed the shaken expression of Luna Elena. And in an instant, his eyes narrowed at Antheia’s back and the bold red laurel marking on her back.“Who is she? She bears the Rossathorn’s mark. I do not recognize her being a part of our family.” Arnold said not being able to recognize Antheia since it was her back that was turned to him.“She is just a guest.” Luna Elena said.“No outsider of this family bears the same mark. Where is she from? Is it real or a tattoo to mimic the Rossathorn’s crest?” Arnold inquired, also surprised to see someone with the same mark. He remembers that his wife, Luna Elena’s mother also bore the
Chapter 87 – Her Home and BelovedThe Rossathorn Pack easily found Mindor and extracted the truth from him. He was the only remaining person alive who knew the truth from that night Luna Elena gave birth to the successor of Rossathorn. He revealed the truth, that it was Connor who ordered him to dispose of the child, but he kept her. However, despite the truth that he kept the child alive, the Rossathorn pack did not forgive him for the life he had given Antheia, the sufferings she had to endure at the hands of the alpha of Muggar pack. They let him live and his family, but in misery. They had become low workers of the pack, working in the fields and mountains owned by Rossathorns. The fate of Mindor and his pack had been known to Alpha Raven who had once put them in misery for what they did to Antheia. But he never found out the reason why. He assumed that Mindor had a great debt to pay to the Rossathorns, and Jane indeed had done a great job of keeping the truths from the public. No
Chapter 1 – Sold!Really, who am I?Would a crow even want to feed on my flesh when I rot to death?What is my name?None. I do not have one.I am Sold.No, my name is not Sold. I was sold to these illegal traders who buy and capture werewolves who do not belong to any pack, called rogues. But no, I am not a rogue, or it should be proper to say, I WAS not a rogue.I had a family, if that is what you call it. I lived with them for 16 years, and they treated me less than a pig. I was not their family, but their slave. I grew up thinking that they are my family, they are my parents - the Alpha and the Luna, and that I have two sisters and a brother, but… with the way they treated me proved that I was not their blood, not from the Luna at least.I am a daughter of the Alpha and a pack slut who died giving birth to me. I was a disgrace to the Alpha and a shame to the Luna. When I was born, they took me
Chapter 2 – What Is Your Name?The word ‘sold’ resonated in my ears. I wanted and had accepted my death already as I feared to be used and be a servant throughout my life. But why, goddess? What cruel fate had you made for me? Why do you not save me from hell, or redeem my soul already? Do I not belong to be one with the soil and enter the paradise you had made to everyone? Have you decided to put me forever in this world of hell?Losing my energy, I slumped myself back on the floor as the announcer proceeded to giving information about the next item as I in my cage was being moved to the backstage.How absurd. How could these people treat their fellows like a thing with a price that can be sold anytime and anywhere they want, like they own us.Right, I never owned my life. I was and have always been an object owned by other people, even my own father sold me like a piece of useless jar.“We thought you are
Chapter 3 – Fear of Punishment“What is your name?” he asked, dominance was so clear and evident in his voice.My eyes went to nowhere. Lost. I do not know the answer to his question. I was never given one. My father never named me and that family only called me with degrading words, filthy, dog, trash, and many more that I already forgot even though they had used it frequently for 16 to 17 years. At least what I only know about me was my birthday, because every time that day comes, everyone’s mood were sour and my works would get heavier, and they would not stop reminding me of how a being like me had to exist in this world.“Answer me, doll. What’s your name?” the Alpha asked in a more warning tone as he held my chin to make me meet his eyes again.His grip on my chin scared me of what he is going to do. Unconsciously, a tear escaped my eyes due to the fear that had risen in me.“I-
Chapter 4 – A Gem“You really don’t listen to me, do you?” he uttered and took a step forward, so I also stepped back out of fear of what he might do.He only stopped taking steps forward towards me when my stomach grumbled again and I tightly closed my eyes in embarrassment.“Go wash up and come down in the kitchen when you are done.”“I might come down a bit later Alpha since I would still have to dry my clothes so I have something to use after I shower.” I said because what I am wearing now is the only clothes I have at the moment. I still have to work to earn some pennies to buy cheap clothes somewhere or to other pack members here if they will allow me.He sighed and messed his hair with his palm and brushed it on his face in frustration. I am going to lie if I would say that the Alpha is not attractive in every way. He is an epitome of a human god if ever there is something like
Chapter 5 – Out of Danger… For Now.I tilted my head at the food on my plate as my mind could not clearly comprehend what the Alpha had said. However, I had decided to brush it off instead and eat my food and since there was no one here in the dining area, I filled my stomach to its fullest since I am not sure when would I have this opportunity again and to see that all these dishes were very well cooked and seasoned makes it more delicious! Goddess, I could have thought of this table as the table in heaven.It almost took me an hour to finish more than half of the food on the table, I could not take them all anymore, I am too full. I plopped myself back on the chair and rested for a few minutes before I stood up and started piling the empty plates and took them in the sink.“Madame, I will do it.” A lady came in the kitchen and quickly tried to take the plates from my hand and prevent me from washing them.&ldquo
Chapter 6 – Nice? What Is It?It was almost one in the afternoon when I remembered to eat. I put down the book the Alpha lend to me and walked to the bedside table, and opened the drawer and took out the lunch box with spoon and fork, and walked back to the footboard of the bed and sat on the carpeted floor where I was seated earlier. I am not used to using these fancy and looking comfortable furniture inside this room, I am still used to what I was given when I was growing up, the floor to sit and sleep on, the old and worn out clothes that were passed down from my sisters, and well, just being alone.For the past hours I just stayed inside my room as ordered by the Alpha, and I did not dare to disobey him again coz it seem like his patience towards me was getting thin already.I opened the lunch box and started to eat while my other hand was on the book on the ground, holding the pages to keep it open as I read and eat at the same time.
