Broken Luna

Chapter 1

Lucy's POV
I step into the school taking a deep breath, wishing I could just hide and not have to be seen. Summer vacation is my favorite part of the year, since I don't have to be around people, but that is now over and here I am on the first day back from break. Since everyone except my best friend, Katie, ignores me it's not that bad at school. The only time anyone seems to care is when I'm having a tic attack or having verbal tics to which they stare at me in disgust. I constantly tic wether it be my head cocking slightly, winking, or my main verbal tic "wow". Tics are completely random and I have no control over them but sometimes I can feel them starting and can suppress the smaller ones. I don't care to try suppressing my most frequent ones though because if I suppress a lot in a short period of time I will have a tic attack. Having a lot of stress at one time also causes tic attacks. Tic attacks are when my tics become extremely aggressive and don't stop for what could be hours. This results in bruises and very rarely, a broken bone. My service wolf rubs his head against my leg to snap me out of my thoughts as I look down at him. I found him in the woods when he was a pup and brought him to the pack vet, they said he is the size of a werewolf but he doesn't have a human side. They think he was an early shifter and successfully shifted but his human died leaving him stuck just a wolf. He is very well trained and listens like a human so I believe it. It took a lot of convincing for the school to allow this big of a service dog because they were afraid it would make students think they can shift in school but luckily, it didn't.

"Okay I'm going Lucian", I start walking to my locker where Katie is already standing waiting for me.

We say our good mornings and she gives Lucian a hug as I get my belongings out of my locker. Katie is the only one allowed to touch Lucian while he is working, other than me of course. We talk about our mornings and go our separate ways to our first classes. I sit in my usual seat at the back of the class. I open my notebook and set up my stuff for class as the rest of the students walk in.

The teacher comes around her desk and leans against it, "Now everyone we have a new student today and you better treat him with respect, he's the future alpha, Zachary Shadowmoon".

A tall handsome man a little older than me maybe 19 as I am 18, walks in the room smiling at the teacher and looking around the class. My heart starts racing and I feel a weird sensation in my stomach as I look at his eyes, he isn't looking directly at me so he won't feel anything and it wouldn't activate the mate mind link. I can't let him find out I'm his mate. I'm just some broken, messed up girl who has tics and hurts herself in more ways than one, I could never be Luna. My tics start to get more aggressive at the thought as I watch him sit down. Lucian starts alerting aggressively and I knew that meant I would pass out soon if it didn't stop but I couldn't help it, I was so stressed out and worrying. Sharp pains spreading through my body with every tic as my vision gets blurry. I hug Lucian's back while the world goes dark and I feel him move his body so I'm laying farther on his back as he stands.

Lucian's POV
She passes out so I move her up onto my back more before running up to the teacher nodding my head and she nods back before opening the door letting me run. I run as fast as I can to the school doctor. Why did she suddenly get so stressed when the new kid walked in? Is the future alpha her mate? She's going to hurt herself because of him and it pisses me off. I push the door open quickly with my head and the doctor instantly looks over to me. The doctor somehow manages to wake her but her tics just get worse and I can see she's lost in her thoughts. He better not hurt her or I swear I'll have his head, I don't care about the consequences.

Lucy's POV
I wake up in the school doctor's office on one of the patient beds as all of the memories start flowing back. I can't be Luna but I don't want to go through the pain of rejection. I just wanted to find a mate that would accept me and now? I was destined with the Alpha to be the Luna, I'd be rejected for sure when he finds out.

The doctor holds me down and tries to calm me as much as possible but fails, "This would be easier if you knew who your mate is".

I look up at him as sadness rushes over me, "I know who he is but he doesn't know and he can't find out".

He stares down at me in confusion so I begin to explain, "I'm the future Alphas mate, I could feel it and I know he'll reject me when he finds out how broken and fucked up I am. I am far from Luna material, I don't even want to be alive let alone run a whole pack".

He looks down at me shocked and I notice Lucian stiffen at my side but the doctor just nods and continues trying to help me. He quickly grabs me some pain medication and gives it to me before trying to calm me again. My tics get more aggressive and I feel a tic coming in my arm but can't stop it as it straitens out suddenly causing a loud snap and a scream to exit my mouth.

"Please Lucy you need him here or you'll die!"
