Oracle Of The Moon

Hurt -Lucy's POV

Lucy's POV-

I wanted to crawl into a hole. Too many people were staring and talking about me as if I were a museum exhibit and not a person. The pack had not taken the news of Kale's two bond-mates well and were extremely skeptical. I didn't blame them though, this all looked sketchy as hell.

I made my way further into the dining room with my head down. I had no desire to listen to any more of the nonsense that my pack was saying of me for the past few days. I was already mad and on edge because of Kale's bullshit the night before, and I did not get a good sleep because of the nightmares that continuously plagued me. To put it simply, I was in a bad mood and pissed off at one of the only people who seemed to like and care about me.

I was already a lot later than I usually was to breakfast. I would have just skipped it all together if I weren't so hungry and knew that Kale wouldn't come banging on my door due to my absence. Then again, he was so far up Raven's ass now, maybe he wouldn't.

I finally looked up and saw Raven in the Luna spot again, she had been choosing to sit there since she had gotten to the pack. Had Kale told her anything about her seat choice? Nope. I rolled my eyes at the small crowd that was standing around her asking about her bandages that she was showing off as she was dressed in a lowcut tank top. I was sure that she was spouting off her bullshit 'heroic' tale about how she had 'saved' me. The wolf barely had even swiped at her, Dillon's clawing on me was harsher than the supposed rogue's was on her.

I wanted to scoff at the sympathetic and impressed looks that she was receiving from everyone. She was no doubt winning over the pack, so they'd want her as their Luna instead of me. I felt the hurt in my chest amplify as I had to blink away genuine tears at their painful unacceptance. I swallowed harshly as I put random foods on my plate, no longer feeling all that hungry all of the sudden.

I turned back to go find a seat. Kale was telling me, with his blazing Alpha eyes, to sit in the other spot next to him that he surely had saved for me. I was still pissed at him though, and I had absolutely no desire to sit anywhere near Raven and hear of her false tales. Instead of sitting in the open spot next to him, I walked past the table and sat in my assigned dinner spot where no one else was even close to me.

I was sitting all alone, silently, being forced to listen to the not so subtle whispers around me. I suddenly felt like crying as I heard the comments from my pack saying that I was not Luna material. I felt my heart breaking as they all commented about how much more suited Raven was for Kale than I was. How I didn't even look the part of a Luna, much less act it.

I tried extremely hard not to let my tears spill out over their harsh words. Raven was succeeding in enthralling Kale, and in turn the pack was being enthralled too. I was not enthralling. If anything, I was off-putting by my looks and actions. I was their Luna, but they didn't want me... I had accepted myself, but they did not accept me.

I was startled out of my stupor by the chair that was pulled out next to me. I glanced up at the person who wanted to sit next to me and instantly smiled in excitement.

"Do you mind if I sit here, Lucy?"

"Absolutely not, please please do." I said with as big of a smile as I could muster. I was sure it didn't meet my eyes and he frowned at that. "I thought you ate up in your room. Why are you down here, sir?" I asked trying to get his attention off of me.

"Well, you had told me to get out and join back in on life, I think it's high time for me to do that. If that girl is going to be here spreading lies about my pack, the least I can do is be here to rebut her and her ridiculous claims. My Alpha and Luna would have never locked their child away... they loved- they would have loved her." Wes sighed and looked at me closer. "You're hurting," he whispered solemnly. He raised his fingers to my cheek and wiped a few of my stray tears away. He glared over at Raven and Kale after studying me for a few more moments.
