Chapter 7 Itâs been three days. And Iâve been able to understand some things.
First off, Blair is a total bitch.
Sheâs the only one who gets summoned to see the alpha of alphas. And all the other girls worship her like she hung the moon in the night sky. Blair was the only one out of all the girls who slept with the alpha of alphas and she didnât bother hiding it. None of the other girls did, and for that she believed she was special.
of All the other girls believed that she would be the Luna and no one wanted to step on her feet for fear of being executed. They all worshipped her. She was the leader of them. Everyone wanted to be close with her. Apparently, seeing the alpha of alphas face to face was a very rare thing.
Should I tell them that I had seen him? No, No I didnât. Because each time I spoke, I would get looks that made me regret opening my mouth.
A slave to the harem. Thatâs basically what I am.
And Blair capitalized on that.
âI need my shoes all shined and polished!â
âCome and make my nails!â
âMy bedsheets need to washed! My entire room needs to be cleaned!
âCome here! Why are you slacking off?!â
She disgusts me. Acting like a spoiled brat. If a girl like her ever became Luna, I pity her subjects.
But I quickly realized that all the rumours were false, No one had ever been killed, no oneâs heart had ever been eaten. From the peaceful air around here, everything was actually very nice. He doesnât even sleep with the girls. Instead he gave them a means to live comfortably. They had the option to leave the pack, get mated and get married as well. Everything was perfect.
Everything except my life.
Right now I should be with these girls, having fun and braiding my hair with jasmine flowers, I should be able to live a free life free of the toils for the day to day life.
But no. He called me a smear on this world. Iâm being punished for something I had no idea was even going on. I had no idea how cruel Zayn actually was, the extent of his crimes in this world, Is that how rusty his judgment is? He just threw me in a box with Zayn and called it a day?!
He didnât even give me a chance to explain myself or at least prove my innocence. Instead he believed what he wanted to and sentenced me to slavery.
Lost in my dark thoughts, I didnât see Blair approaching ahead me. I bumped into her, again.
Told you there wonât be a next timeâ she said, glaring down at me.
1 stared at her. âWeâre both guilty now, arenât we?â I asked.
She gaped, her eyes wide with shock. âHow dare you speak to re Like That!!
Like what?â I snapped back. âMove, I have work to do.â

GAE 17:59 Tue, Nov 5 GA Chapter 7 She grabbed my arm and yanked me back. âIt seems youâre forgetting one tiny detail, I run this place! Do you fucking hear mel I stared into her eyes and sighed. Itâs been a long ass day. And the day isnât even over yet. Now I have to deal with this entitled princess.
Sheâs not even a luna. She has never been a luna. Sheâs carrying herself so damn high like fucking someone is an achievement.
Goodness she reminds me of Iris so damn bad itâs infuriating.
âDown on your knees and plead for my forgiveness.â Blair said, her chin tilted in a show of superiority, I stared at her blankly, Iâm sorry, what?â
You heard me. And I donât repeat myself, ever.
âIâm not doing that. I said plainly and folded my arms across my chest. I am a Luna. I will not bow to this girl.
Her eyes flashed indignation. âYou wonât?â She asked. She laughed, a bitter short sound. âYou have ten seconds to do it.â Tm a Luna. And I will never bow to your kind She burst out laughing. âA Luna?! Wow! Can you imagine just how sad you are?! A Luna, and youâre slaving away here?! What kind of a Luna are you?
Her words cut deep and hatred for the alpha of alphas bloomed even more in my heart. Iâm a Luna. No matter what happened to me. No matter if I got dragged though the mud a million times. It doesnât change the fact that Iâm still a luna.
Blair walked up to me, her eyes burning with a flame. âYouâre going to regret not obeying me, Luna.â She spat the title like it was venom on her tongue.
I met her eyes fire for fire. âGet a grip on yourself I snapped. âThe only thing youâll be regretting is not backing away from me now.
She smiled a slow and evil gesture that didnât suit her face. âWeâll soon see who will be regretting soon.â She turned and walked away.
but not before she waved and called me Luna.
I headed off to my next duty as if I hadnât met her. She canât hurt a fly. Thatâs all sheâs going to do.
The liquid burned through my skin, the clothes I wore doing nothing to stop itâs burn. The aroma of sweet tomato soup filled my nostrils, I would have been savoring it if it werenât for the red mark spreading over my skin now.
1 grit my teeth hard and told myself not to scream. Not to give them the satisfaction.
âAll hail the Lunar Blairâs voice rang out through the dining hall followed by the sound of her mocking laughter.
I calmly wiped some splashes of the soup off my cheek. The dining hall exploded into shouts and cheers, all of them mucking and jerring Tears pricked my eyes. It hurt, okay? The soup burned, and the pain amplified the pain of my sore muscles even more. It everything inside of me or to scream.
took But I held it together.
Jâui a luna. I am strong. I do not cry because hot soup was spilled on me.
A hand grabbed my hair and forced my head up at an odd ange that made my neck crink up. Blair glared into my face, a mocking smile on her face. Are you ready to plead for my forgiveness now? She asked.

21:59 Tue, Nov 5 G Chapter 7 I grabbed her wrist, intentionally digging my finger tips into her skin. âNever.â I hissed.
âAww! One of the girls cooed, a high ranking girl. Her name was Elise, and from what I heard she was the second in command right after Blair. âCome on, what use is your pride huh? Slave Luna?â
1 looked right at her. I wanted to pour soup into her eyes. Watcli her scream and struggle to get the scalding liquid out of her eyes.
My thoughts alarmed me. Iâm not this violent, Iâm not this dark, Blair let go of my hair, wiping her hand on my dress like she had touched horse shit. She smiled sweetly at me.
This is just the beginning. And until you apologize, itâll only get worse.â
I got to my feet. I was starving, honestly. I had barely eaten my dinner of bread and cheese before she dumped the soup on me.
I left it behind. My head held high, I walked out of the dining hall.
The soup on my skin was starting to sting. It was spicy, unnecessarily spicy, Without a doubt in my mind, Blair had made it that way on purpose. To hurt me.
1 Outside the dining hall, I came face to face with Lady Nifra. She looked at me, her icy blue eyes scanning me from top to bottom.
Her nose wrinkled in disgust and she looked up to my eyes.
âGo and get cleaned up. She snapped. âThereâs still work for you to do before the day runs out.â
I scoffed. What did I expect from her, kindness? That she would take my side, march in there and confront Blair? Who am I kidding! She took me to the alpha of alphas herself.
I walked past her and headed to the bathrooms. At least I was allowed to use the same bathrooms as the girls. Only that I had to use it when it was empty.
I washed the soup off me, and in the shower when I was finally alone, the tears came, They mingled with the water, and it was hard to tell how much had cried. I stood under the stream of cold water till the smell of soup was washed down the drain.
Slave Luna. Theyâre not wrong. All my life Iâve been a slave. A slave to Zayn. A slave to my family. A slave to tradition. And now, a slave to girls my age and younger.
How sad your life is, Sabrina.
Just as I was turning the shower off, a bucket of ice cold water was thrown on me.
1 screamed and lost my balance, slipping on the floor. Thankfully I caught myself before my head could be split open on the floors.
Laughter echoed all around me, Blairâs voice the loudest. The ice water seeped into my bones, my teeth chattering as a result. I could see the ice cubes on the floor, helpless just like m Elair walked into the bathroom, flanked by two other girls. âReady to apologize?â She asked.
1 spat at her. But it didnât get far, it didnât even touch her. She stared at it and back at me, her lips Ina downward frown.
âPoor baby, She coued. âYou poor thingâ
My fingers were turning blue.
