Chapter 10 Chapter 10 / -Selene- / " That look ," Elara hissed . : " Seems you are surprised , maid ? I am Thorne's woman , your Luna to be . Isn't it , Thorne ? " My eyes darted to Thorne , who just smirked . How long had they known each other ? Is this some sort of joke ? 59 55 vouchers " For the time I will be staying here , I won't tolerate such clumsy behaviour of yours . Whose fault is it that you are cursed ? It's my house now ; you wouldn't go around breaking trays and plates . " " I'm sorry , " I muttered . " You should be . " " You can go ," Thorne's voice thundered . " Apply the medicine before you retire for the night ." " Medicine ? " Elara asked . Shit . She would rat me out now , and my four weeks would be over . " Yes , " Thorne replied . " She's my healer . " I began to shake , hoping against all odds that Elara wouldn't say a word . Thankfully the beta walked in just then . " There is a message from the Rival pack ." Thorne's eyebrow furrowed . " Kaelen read it . " Before Kaelen read it , he looked at the beta with suspicion . " You can go . Thank you ." But the beta didn't move . " You heard me ," Kaelen insisted . 11:28 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 10 " You should leave . " : " I will only take instructions from Thorne ," he boldly said . 59 55 vouchers " I am Kaelen , and Kaelen is me . His orders are my orders , and the next time this repeats itself , you will undergo any punishment he has for you . Now leave , " Thorne said in defence of his twin brother . " What about the cursed girl ? She should leave as well . " Kaelen stood in anger and drew out his sword , but Thorne was faster ; he stood up and held the sword . He held it so tightly that he began to bleed . The beta , seeing the chaos he had caused , bowed to Kaelen and walked away . But I noticed something . Elara was doing a sign with her finger to him . Hallucinating again ? No way . I rushed to Thorne immediately and tied my scarf on his bleeding hand , but before I could tie it up completely , Elara stood up , dragged me by my hair and pushed me away . " I can handle that , " she muttered . I stood still as though I was a substitute , waiting in case something went wrong . One thing bothered me again , how did Thorne know how and where that sword was facing ? " You are healed already , " Elara said with excitement . " That was quite fast ." " Let me see . " Kaelen looked surprised , as though such a thing had never happened . " You both can go . " Kaelen's order ; I dared not disobey it , but I dreaded being alone with Elara . I hurriedly walked away , aiming to disappear , but Elara must have sensed my fear , so she also walked as fast as she could . " Funny how you're finally worth something . Is this six cents brought to you ? " I ignored her and kept walking . That act of mine got her really angry , and she dragged me back by my hair . 11:28 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 10 " Elara , you are hurting me ! " I cried . " Stop already ; this isn't our house , please ." " Which makes it even better , " she kissed her teeth . 59 EZ 55 vouchers " It's going to be mine soon . I will be a Luna soon , and you would have no choice but to get used to this treatment here as well . " " You can speak without hurting me , Elara . You are pulling me so hard . " My body shook . I was angry . The moon goddess hated me so much , because if she didn't , she wouldn't have allowed me to be this weak at this age . She even refused to give me a wolf . I was a total miserable dog . " Oh , you poor thing . The earlier you learn to always stay underneath me , the better for you . Meanwhile , what medicine was Thorne talking about ? " I stiffened . " I ... I do ... don't know what he was talking about , " I lied . She pushed me roughly . " I will get the truth . And you know what will become of you if I do . Get lost , you cursed being . Prepare me another plate ; the maids here are terrible cooks . I think I can manage yours . " I nodded and quickly walked away . I didn't go to the kitchen ; I couldn't face another group of mean faces , so I kept walking till I found myself under the soothing light of the moon . I leaned against the wall and watched . I knew nobody would notice even if I disappeared forever , so I sat there on the floor and stared at the moon . I pulled my knee to my chest and let my head rest on the wall . " You are not being fair , you know , right ? " I whispered in a broken voice . I was speaking to the moon goddess , and I wished and hoped she could see me and hear me . " Why am I cursed ? Why am I this ugly ? I don't have a wolf , I don't have a voice , I don't have a mate , nothing ! Yet you claim to be just ? " I began to raise my voice , knowing fully well that no one would come to that part of the royal house by that time . " I hate myself , and I wish to die right now ." I didn't mean that , though . 11:28 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 10 I just wanted her to see how bad I felt . Soon silence took over . : I kept staring at the moon for only Godess knows how long , till I slept off . 59 55 vouchers I screamed as I ran deeper into the woods ; a terrible creature kept chasing me , and even the trees twisted as though they were afraid too . I was barefoot , which made it worse . Tiny thorns and roots kept stabbing me , but I couldn't stop . Not with that creature gaining on me . " Help ! " I screamed . No one answered . But just as I ran , my hunch disappeared , my skin shone so bright , and my hair fell in long beautiful waves behind me . I was becoming beautiful . Strangely breathtaking . That moment of distraction cost me something ; I didn't see the small log of wood in front of me . My foot snagged on it , and I crashed with my face down on the floor . Before I could regain strength and stand up , the monster had already gotten to me . " No , " I screamed and began dragging myself on the floor . Here was the surprising thing , as I dragged myself on the floor attempting to run away from the creature , I started becoming ugly again . My skin turned scaly , and my hunchback returned . He raised his claw to stab me . " Please , no ! " I screamed and woke up . 11:28 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 11 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
