Chapter Chapter nine
Lucian came into my line of vision next, and an angry look on his face and eyes glaring hatefully at me.
What the hell has she done?
"I warned you!" Lucian snarled, pointing an accusing finger at me. I held my nervousness as I frowned, masking the fear that shot up my spine at his loud voice.
"About what exactly because all I remember you saying were unnecessary rules." I replied, glancing between Lucy and him.
"What you have done is unforgivable." He said again and I stared in confusion. From the corner of my eyes, Henrietta had come to stand beside me.
"What exactly am I being accused of?" I asked tiredly.
"You moved to hit Lucy and even called her names, wait what are you wearing?" He asked me, shifting his gaze to my breasts.
"One, I didn't touch Lucy, secondly I didn't call her names only if she changed her name from Lucy and for the last time whatever I do with myself is none of your business!" I snapped at him, glaring hatefully.
"It is." He murmured, his eyes returning the glare I directed at him.
"If you will excuse me I just lost the zeal to train." I said, turning away when I felt a hand grab onto my hair, sending a painful sensation down my scalp.
"I challenge you to a fight. I want to show everyone exactly why you are not fit to be Luna." I looked at Lucian but he took his eyes off me as soon as we made eye contact. Nobody here was my family, nobody cared if I got killed doing this. She's obviously stronger and more experienced than I am.
"I don't need to prove it to anyone. I was claimed and it can't be changed so get used to me being here." I replied, pushing her hand away from my hair so it fell freely down my shoulders.
Lucy laughed, a dark sinister sound that sent a shiver of fear down my spine.
"Pathetic excuse of a leader." I spat, folding her arms over her chest.
"Fine, you want a challenge?" I asked, smirking at the shock that filled her face as Henrietta touched my shoulder, concern filling her face.
"Raina please don't" She begged and I turned to her giving her a sad smile as I followed Lucian and Lucy to the clearer space of the training ground.
I made the first move to punch her but she was quick to move away from my fist colliding with her face that I wanted to hit so hard. I moved back and forth again to give another hit when she got a hold of my right wrist and twisted it so hard that I screamed out in pain. She pushed me to the ground with full force. I groaned in pain when I felt the pain of her kick to my abdomen.
I let out a painful scream as I clutched my stomach in pain, as I made an attempt to stand up she pulled me by my hair and brought me to my feet.
"You don't belong here!" She spat as she threw me back against the floors, smirking at me before she walked out of the training ground swaying her hips.
Pain lacerated my whole body as everyone stared down at me. I felt ashamed, embarrassed and their eyes bleed the same too. I could almost read their minds and they thought about their Luna who couldn't fight.
Shame filled me, and I shook my head pitifully. I truly do not belong here but where do I go? Back to my pack? Never. Someway or the other they were going to respect me even if their weak alpha wouldn't.
I spat out the blood that had piled up in my mouth as I struggled back to my feet, Henrietta was at my side instantly as she reached to help me but I shoved her away.
"Leave me!" I said before walking back into the pack house, feeling everyone's gaze on me as they murmured amongst themselves. I walked past the kitchen even though my stomach grumbled in hunger. I suddenly didn't want to stay here with everyone's judgemental eyes on me.
I went into my room, slamming the door behind me as I took off my clothes and hopped into the bathroom.
When I was done, I left the bathroom and put on my maid outfit from my old pack, I let my hair down to let it dry before I laid on bed, my thoughts lingering on my reason here? Why did he bring me here?
************
I woke up to mild discomfort and it seemed I was running a high temperature but I ignored it, it was probably due to the pain from the fight.
I rose from the bed, pulling open the curtains, the moon shone above me, and I sighed, feeling the cold breeze hit my face before I closed it and went back to bed. Wren filled my mind and I suddenly felt a pang of loneliness hit me.
"Raina!" I heard Henrietta's voice over my door as she knocked rapidly on my door. I glared as I stood up and snatched the door open only because I felt a sense of comfort talking to her, she had been the only one trying to help me and I suddenly felt ashamed for yelling at her.
She smiled at me, and I noticed she was holding a tray of food and water. I let her in as I shut the door behind her.
"Hey." I whispered shyly.
"How are you doing?" She asked and I nodded.
"Good. I'm sorry about this morning. I was just really pissed at myself, at Lucy and my sick excuse of a mate." I said honestly.
"My brother." She smiled and I sigh before rolling my eyes playfully.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, it's just that I'm trying and if he's really interested in making this work like you said he has to act like it." I grumbled as Henrietta moved to me, dropping her hand on my shoulder.
"I know he's being stupid and Lucy isn't the nicest person around but they will come around." She assured me and I rolled my eyes once more.
"So I wait till they come around? Why can't they both stop being stupid. What's the deal with Lucy anyway? Isn't the Beta her mate?"
"Yes he is. Rick is currently not home and she just doesn't fully trust you yet but she's a kind soul." Henrietta said and I scoffed in disbelief. But before I could say anything, a sharp pain hit my stomach and I bent over, clenching onto it.
"What's wrong with you?" Rietta asked worriedly.
"H..ea...t." I struggled to say as I started to fall but Henrietta held unto me, placing me gently on the bed.
Why was I feeling this way? Why was the pain more intense than usual? Could it be because I was closer to my mate now?
"What do I do?" Rietta panicked, touching my forehead slightly and I groaned.
"I need a cold bath, very cold." I said between fits of cough.
"Ok, stay here I'll be right back." She said before running out the room.
I couldn't wait any longer and I threw myself from the bed, narrowly missing hitting my head and I crawled to the bathroom. I switched on the shower and stayed under it.
But it did nothing to ease my pain as I started to cry, my body hurt all over and I let out a painful scream.
"Raina!" I heard my name from my room as Henrietta rushed in.
"Here." I whispered.
"Oh my goddess." I heard her gasp but I couldn't hold out my vision any longer as I closed my eyes and succumbed to the darkness.
