Moon Written

twenty.

The next morning I woke up with a pounding headache, I groaned and pulled my hands from under the comforter to grip my head.

I opened my eyes and slowly got off the bed, making sure not to wake Marina, who was sleeping like a baby.

I walked to her closet and pulled out something to wear, I grabbed a t-shirt and leggings, something comfortable.

I sighed and walked to the bathroom, wanting to take a shower and clean the sweat and dirty water from last night off me.

I bit my lip once I shut the door, my shoulders slumping as I shook my head.

I can't believe I exposed myself like that, I can't believe I told them.

I hit my head with my hands a couple of times before groaning quietly and quickly peeling off the once beautiful white dress from my body.

I threw it in the bin for the dirty clothes and sighed, then I removed my dirty undergarments and also threw them into the bin.

Then I slowly made way to the beautiful shower, really looking forward to getting clean.

Once I finished my shower, I got dressed and brushed my teeth, then I cautiously made way out of Marina's room and downstairs to the kitchen.

When I walked down the grand staircase there weren't many people downstairs, which was both pleasant and weird.

With furrowed brows I finally reached the bottom, then slid through the small group of people and quickly ran to the kitchen.

When I walked in I saw that Lexie was inside, all alone with her hands on her hips and disgust embraced on her features.

I ignored her and walked to a cabinet, taking out a box of fruity pebbles to eat.

Before I could even open the box and get a bowl Lexie growled causing me to snap my head her way, in alert.

"You can't be his mate." She stated aggressively, Lia growled inside me and I shook my head while sighing.

"If only that were true." I mumbled sadly, she smirked.

"Anyway, why would he choose you over me?" She asked me teasingly, I shrunk back at the glare she sent my way.

"Well he made it clear he cared for me last night, when he helped me out." I lied, trying my hardest to prove to her, my mate loved me. She growled out loudly and stalked towards me, I gasped and backed up.

"He is not your's!" She shrieked out, while her cheeks flushed, I smirked and scoffed, then opened my mouth to say something.

"You are weak and pathetic! Nobody here even knows you! And the only time you have his attention, is when he beats you!" She yelled at me, smirking in enjoyment of the tears that were forming in the corner of my eyes.

"Dustin is mine! We don't need a bond to prove that because he loves me and hates you!" She claimed while narrowing eyes, my bottom lip trembled while I shook my head.

"The bond won't allow it." I cried out in frustration, wanting to believe that the person I wanted to love, loved me back.

She scoffed and flicked her hair back, I felt like an outsider, she was beautiful and strong, whereas I wasn't.

"Dustin is mine, should I prove it?" She asked me in a menacing voice, my eyes widened.
