Episode 4

I'm running through the forest to escape so much humiliation.

"What have I done to deserve all this?"

I arrive at my favorite place, climb the tree, and watch the moon's reflection in the river.

I start to hear a female voice:

"Sally, I'm sad too, and angry at our mate."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Petra, your wolf."

"He's not our mate anymore."

"He is because he hasn't rejected us yet."

"He chose Lucily. He doesn't want us. I just want to stop feeling this pain."

"The worst pain would be if he had rejected us."

"What do you mean, he rejected us?"

"No, Sally, he has to say it out loud. When he says he rejects his mate, out loud, the bond is broken."

"So why didn't he do that?"

"I don't know, but I don't think that's any good.

Now, get down from that tree, you need to shift, it's the blood moon. If you don't shift, we'll become weak."

"All right, I can try, I'm not useless."

I climbed down from the tree, looked to see if there was anyone around, took off my clothes and put them on the tree trunk.

"Come on, Sally, don't be afraid."

My bones begin to crack, my senses become much sharper, my body begins to ache a lot, as if my bones are breaking. White fur begins to appear, I see huge paws.

"This is me, Sally, Petra, your wolf."

I see the reflection in the river.

"Wow! You're beautiful! Incredible!"

"We are, Sally."

"Someone is coming, we need to transform ourselves. I mean, into our other form."

"He's a long way off, it's just your sense of smell. Close your eyes and imagine yourself in front of a mirror."

Then I manage to transform myself again. I put on my cloak and run home before anyone finds me.

Do I have to accept my life from now on? Will I always be a servant?

I have no choice, if I run away, I'll become a rogue, and no one accepts a rogue into their pack.

I go to my room, they haven't arrived yet. I lie down and cry a lot, until I fall asleep.

The next day, I am woken up by Mom.

"What were you thinking, you idiot? Why did you take off your cloak?"

"Mason gave it to me as a present, I thought..."

She takes the red cloak and tears it to shreds.

"No, it's a gift! You can't..."

"I can! Now wear your black cloak, you will work for your sister and future Luna for as long as you live."

I take my things and go downstairs, Mason is waiting for me.

"I'm so sorry, sister." (He speaks with tears in his eyes)

"It's not your fault, brother."

I look to the side and see Lucily.

"Take my bags and put them in the car, servant!"

"I can do that, Lucily."

"Don't contradict your future Luna beta, or I'll forget you're my brother."

I take her things and put them all in the black car in front. What hurts me is seeing my mate at the wheel, watching everything and not defending me.

Lucily goes with the Alpha, and I, in another car, with my brother.

Upon arriving at the pack house, Lucily orders me to put her things away in the Alpha's room.

It hurts, I can't hold back the tears, the room is huge and smells like him.

I'm alone in the room when Hakan enters, I lower my head, put away the last piece of clothing I needed to put away, and I'm leaving. But he grabs my hand.

"Sir, I..."

"I want to see you."

"I'm a monster, you won't want to look at me, you'll have nightmares."

"Don't tell me what to do, maid. You just obey me."

He takes off my cloak, then I start to smell his delicious scent again.

I think he must feel the same, as his eyes are dark.

My hair and eyes are brown, because of the dye and the lenses.

"You're pretty and you'll be good for something else besides cleaning and cooking."

"I need to go..."

Before I finish the sentence, he takes my lips, I try to resist, but the mate bond is stronger.

He pushes me against the wall, one hand on my waist and the other on the back of my neck. The kiss becomes wild.

"Hakan! What are you doing with this maid?"

He lets me go.

"Sorry honey, it's the strength of the bond, you know she means nothing to me."

I pick up my cloak and leave crying again, I know my sister won't let this go unpunished.

She made a point of putting my room next to theirs. At night, I listen to them making love, it's humiliating.

The following days are just work and humiliation.

Ever since that day Hakan kissed me, I've been trying to avoid him, but it gets harder and harder because of the bond, but I'll do my best to stay far enough away.

My sister keeps pressuring him, she wants the ceremony that makes her Luna soon.

Every day I suffer and get hurt, I wish I had the chance to have chosen my mate.
