Mary felt strong hands grab her throat. It was the mid of night when Mary was abruptly woken by a man strangling her.

She gasped for breathe whilst clawing at the mans hands. She stopped and reached under her pillow for her gun.

"Looking for this?" Said a high and mysterious voice.

She couldn't answer as the words were stuck inside her. She really couldn't do anything as her she was being choked.

"Release her." said the voice.

Mary took fast and deep breaths replenishing her breathing. She sat up to face a Grimm and smug looking Madeline.

"It was you Madelyn," Mary spoke, emphasize Mad-e-lyn. Madeline hated when people pronounced her name wrong.

"It's Mad-e-line" Madeline hissed.

"I knew you would be the first to come after me." Mary stated coldly, rubbing her throat.

"Yes, well, we can't let you have more power. It would get to your head. In fact doesn't your name mean bitter?" Madeline spat.

"You know, you thing being the packs crescent means you have a lot of power, but truth be told, you don't. I made you omega once, I can do it again."

Madeline looked taken back by this comment. "I was made omega out of spite. I was the fastest, strongest female warrior of the pack. I was only titled weak because you didn't like me."

"Yes, I didn't. I didn't because you thought you were better than me. You knew I was going to be Luna until my brother found his mate, yet you still teased me. You had it coming."

"Dan, please continue." she waved her hand. Next thing Mary knew she had a knife to her neck.

Madeline, whilst checking her nails, made a deal, "I will let you walk out of here alive, as I realize I cannot make you hand the title to me and Gale, as long as you promise to never speak a word of this night."

"And what makes you think I'll keep this deal of yours?" Mary scoffed.

"Bonding spell. We will put a drop of our blood into this, and then drink the liquid." she said beckoning to the bottle which contained a foul blue liquid.

"Deal."

After drinking the disgusting bonding potion, Madeline and Dan left leaving Mary in bed, with her throat hurting and mouth tasting of vomit.

"I can make you omega!" I screamed after her.

"I'd like to see you try." she laughed.

Mary woke up, putting on a some skinny jeans and a purple blouse, and went to the diner next door. By the time she reached the diner, her feet were aching from her people heels.

Mag, who was an old lady, ran the diner. Mary sat herself at her favorite table and awaited for service.

"What can I get you dear?" Mags asked.

"My regular today please."

"Of course. Anything for the Luna."

"Oh please, call me Mary." She insisted.

Mary had been coming to this diner every Sunday since she was a kid.

Mags was like her mother. In public they rarely talked but alone, Mags was family.

Autumn, walked into the diner and sat herself right across from Mary.

Autumn was an unusual girl, with her curly black hair and fashion sense, but she was also Mary's best (and only) friend.

Today, Autumn wore a graphic tee that said "honestly, I don't care," with short shorts and black combat boots.

"So how was your night? Did the speech go ok?" Autumn questioned.

Mary opened her mouth to tell Autumn about Madeline attacking her, but found a barrier, stopping the words from coming out.

"Good. And the speech went okay, though Beta Gale wasn't very thrilled, neither was Madeline."

"Well of course not, they've wanted to be Luna and alpha ever since you survived birth." Autumn said but quickly regretted the last two words.

Mary's mother died while giving birth. That has always been a nerve on her. Mary's father became a drunk and addict saying it was all her fault.

That is why her father named her Mary, because she was bitter to stay alive.

"I'm sorry, I didn't-"

"No, no. It's ok. I'm fine." Mary interrupted.

"Your meal." Mags said putting down the plate full of hash browns, eggs, bacon, and pancakes.

Mary handed her a twenty and told her to keep the change.

"Guess what we got invited to." Sarah beamed.

"I von bow." Mary grumbled her mouth filled with food.

"The moon ball!"

Mary groaned. The moon ball took place every year for people who have yet to find their mates to attend.

This was their time to find their mate. It made the whole process quicker but it was also a pain.

The Luna and alpha were always expected to attend and you have to dress up. Which meant Autumn would be doing Mary's makeup and everything.

"No." Mary said flatly.

"You have to," Autumn argued, "this will be a great time to gain supporters for your female Alpha movement."

"Yeah, well there is also 50 year old creeps who just want to..." Mary trailed off.

Autumn rolled her eyes and pushed the envelope forward.

"I'll think about it." Mary stated.

"Yay!" Autumn face light up.

"It's not a yes!" Mary yelled whilst Autumn walked off with glee.
