The Only Alpha Luna

Caves

I was hanging upside down in a dark dingy room. There was no pitter patter as the droplets of water fell, meaning there was no cement flooring. I swung left then right, and then again. My head already throbbing, my ankles burning. I have no idea how long I have been hanging but it surely has been too long. I touch the nearest wall. Only to scrape my hand on... rock.

That can't be right. I swing again, and again, bring up enough momentum so that I could touch my surroundings once more since the ground was so far away. So tired I can not lose consciousness again. Who knows when I will be able to move again. I just might die in my sleep. My hand scraped, this time bleeding profusely. I was out.

24 hours later.

Drenched. Cold. Too tired and sore to move. Eyes blurry, I look up to see Darryl. No more energy to fight or to move. Will he end my suffering. I hang my head long in disgrace as the thought crossed my mind.

"Well, well, well, isn't this a sight to see. Miss Lucy Luna finally submitting to a man. Not just any man but her father's lover." My eyes shot up to his, trying to find the lie in his voice. There was none. No wonder he was so dead set on making my life miserable. No wonder every time he saw me he wanted to rip me to shreds. He knew the truth, and he wanted me to pay for it with my life. How could I blame him when all he was doing was collecting a debt? I sighed ready to die. There was no pain like a mate who had lost there's. There was no pain like knowing that your mate lived a perfectly normal life without you. Thinking of you as nothing but a disgrace. I was nothing but a walking, talking, breathing reminder of this disgrace. He cut the bindings that were holding me up to the ceiling I was on the floor. I looked up at him and waited, waited for him to kill me. Yet, he made no move to do so. "I loved your father with everything I had. I was more than content to be on my own way with wife and children, for us to continue our secret meetings. We thought of ourselves as disgusting vile creatures. You, you are nothing more than the slut that took away the love of my life. You killed him. You killed him, for nothing more than power. I hope that you are ready for your mate to watch you die.

"Not only are you going to die today though, you are going to die in his arms. He is going to watch as the life leaves your precious eyes; and you will know that it was I who took away everything from you. The marriage, the wedding day, the children, the ruling beside him, the fair trial that you surely would have lost. I am saving him the pain of having to kill you himself, but killing a piece of him knowing that he wasn't able to protect you from little old me. Sleep tight, since it is the last time you will ever be able to dream of your precious Tom again." Tears streamed down my face as the cold hard reality of my situation befell me. I would never, ever see the man that I loved again. This was my fault. I did this to him. I would have to die, knowing that I was the reason that the entire werewolf race went to shit.
