Tale Of A Cursed Alpha

Luna’s Pov

I was going crazy. Or, that was how my mind wandering aimlessly made me feel at least. Never in my life had I been this holed up. After the breakfast turned interrogation session, I had remained in my room doing nothing other than sleeping and thinking, none of them doing me much good. I had managed the entire day inside my room and now, I felt I was going to go out of my mind if I did not get out. A major reason I did not want to go out was because of the two people that were just waiting to hack off my head. That and the fact that I was still a very unliked stranger but eventually even those were not good enough.

I looked out the window and saw the moon glowing not so brightly overhead and thought about going out to the backyard. However, I had barely opened the door when the three friends came bustling in. I was in no mood to get into another fight so I simply stepped back into the room however, before I could shut the door, I noticed the usually very composed Blaire looking very shaken and for a moment, I forgot to mind my business which was not very hard considering that our rooms stood opposite each other. I kept the door slightly open as I peeked, wondering what was going on with them. My eyes widened as I watched Ulo speak to Blaire just before she slinked into her room. Don’t blame me! I thought the guy was dumb with the way he never spoke a word, however little. Obviously, I was the one who was not fit to hear his voice. For a moment, I wondered if he hated me too. I shoved the thought as quickly as it had come. What did I care if he hated me? I was going to be out of here in no time.

I shut the door as I watched them advance toward my intended location. Great, just great! I retreated to my room that had become so familiar, it was starting to drive me out of my mind. Here I was sitting on my bed in the middle of the night with no sleep coming. Could my life get any worse? Going back to the window, I propped my cheek on the elbow and stared at the moon wondering if she would reply if I tried to converse with her. But even merely thinking the thought, I knew it was stupid. I was as good as dead to her, them till I managed to fulfill the task. The task! I sighed heavily as the word weighed on my heart, heavy as lead. I was feeling so homesick though that despite the thought, I decided to try it nonetheless.

“Hey, mother!” I whispered staring intently at the moon as though I expected the clouds to reorder themselves into an ‘I am here.’ Nothing of such kind happened. “You are up there, aren’t you? I know you are. I know you told me to right my wrongs but…” I paused, gulping. “I don’t know how to go about it. I know it is my mistake and that I ought to find a way to solve it myself however, I don’t think I am up to the task. Could you show me a sign, maybe a dream to guide me on what exactly I ought to do?” I knew better than to expect a reply yet, I couldn’t deny that as I knelt there, staring intently at the moon, I badly wanted an answer. Any sign, a wolf howling, a bird twittering, anything would have been welcome at that moment but as though mocking me, the entire universe seemed to go silent. Even the slight breeze decided to take a break. I sighed, my heart breaking as I moved away from the window. I really was on my own and I couldn’t even sleep.

My ears pricked as I heard feet jostling past. I hurried to the door and sure enough, the two men were making their way out of the house. I wondered where they were headed and for a moment wished I could go with them. It would have been a welcome break from this endless monotony but I knew that was impossible. Jamil would not mind but his other companion was the one I could not speak for.

Watching them leave, I suddenly got a crazy idea. I would have shoved the idea away the very moment it popped up if I had not been dying of boredom. I shrugged my shoulders wondering what could be the worst that could happen.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Looking down at my dress, it was all rumpled from tossing around in bed all day and I could bet that my hair looked even worse but I would live. With this thought in mind, I went after them while taking care to keep out of sight. The idea was to follow them to wherever they were going. I could think of a whole lot of places that a lady was not supposed to follow a guy to but I figured that I would stop following them if it became too messy. Besides, few things are new to you when you spend time in a place like The Haven. With this thought in mind, I semi-ran and semi-sneaked behind them. Getting to the gate, it was kind of tricky to get past the guards but they weren’t really on the lookout for a sneaking lady who tried her best to stay quiet so I managed to escape without much incident. I recognized the field they turned into from our tour in the morning. Seeing it brought back bittersweet memories that got my nose burning. I brushed it off as I continued after them.

The field was a pretty large one and the fact that it was open to the air did not make it any less impressive. It was decided into sections that I figured was filled with trainees in the day but were empty right now.

I stayed out of sight as I watched the two men battle each other. They were pretty good with their limbs which made me wonder how they would do with swords. They dropped to the ground after a while during which time I lowered my guard as well which was why I did not notice Jamil sitting up and turning around.

“Luna?”
