&quot;The hospital belongs to my family, so that&#039;s why Tonia brought you here. And we believe you are someone really special for my older brother, so, we got you the VIP room.&quot;<br /> How am I special? <br /> His gentle voice really has a way to make people feel calm and weary at the same time. Why does it look so familiar?<br /> Oh, Moon Goddess.<br /> He&#039;s one of the Black brothers! And saying I&#039;m special to his older brother means...<br /> Mate!<br /> ————————<br /> &quot;Give it to me, I said&quot;<br /> I shake my head, confused.<br /> &quot;I don&#039;t have anything, I swear! He didn&#039;t give me anything, Alec, he really didn&#039;t! You know he gives it all to you!&quot;<br /> He growls in anger, but I keep shaking my head. What is wrong with him? I just got back from work, and he started searching for me, even emptied the content of my bag on the floor, and now he keeps asking me for the money. What money? He knows Robert gives him all of my salaries! I never see a single cent I work so hard for!<br /> Even the customer&#039;s tips, Robert just takes it from me as soon as my shift is over! I could never hide any of it! And Moon Goddess knows I wish I could!<br /> &quot;Why do you ask? Do ... Do you have money issues again?&quot; I ask<br /> He glares back at me, furious.<br /> &quot;Again? Isn&#039;t that your fault I&#039;m ruined! You are just a waste of money! How can I ever live in peace if I have to use all of my money on you! Can&#039;t you work harder? How am I supposed to make it through with this measly paycheck you get?&quot;<br /> I&#039;m astounded by his words. How dare he? I work like a slave all day and night! The Alpha makes me do all the chores for the pack, from cooking to laundry, cleaning the whole house, on my own. And Alec got me this job at the local pub when I was fifteen, making me work those crazy shifts for half of the night! I can only get a few hours of rest at night, and it is never enough.<br /> He, on the other hand, never had a proper job. He is twenty-three, but Alec says he doesn&#039;t need a job because he has to focus on the pack, for when he will be chosen as the next Beta. As if that would ever happen. Even I know there is no way my brother will ever get that position. No decent Alpha would ever appoint someone so lazy and self-centered as a beta.<br /> However, my brother is convinced of it. And that only makes me act even more arrogantly and unreasonably. He just spends money whenever he wants and shows off in front of his friends while I have to watch. That money is the one I earn with my sweat, and yet he is the one who spends it. How can he pretend I&#039;m the one he uses it on? I don&#039;t own anything but a few clothes! I don&#039;t even have a bed, and I have to try and sneak out some leftovers to be able to eat.<br /> So why is it that now he is now interrogating me like I&#039;m some thief?<br /> &quot;Anyway, you will be working tomorrow night.&quot;<br /> &quot;What? But I haven&#039;t had a day off in weeks! And the Alpha wants me to make dinner, someone from another pack is coming! I will never make it in time if...&quot;<br /> &quot;I don&#039;t care! It&#039;s your problem, not mine! You will go to work, and I&#039;ll kill you if you don&#039;t! And the Alpha better not be angry at me because of you!&quot;<br /> I stand there, shocked as he exits the room. What is wrong with him? He has never told me to do anything that might upset the Alpha, and now he wants me to go to work? Either he or the Alpha, one of them will be mad at me!<br /> I take my head in my hands, so lost. What do I do now? The Alpha was so adamant about me preparing all of this diner! Some big shot from the Blood Moon pack is coming, that is big for our pack, he will never forgive me if I don&#039;t help him welcome them.<br /> I try to sleep, but I&#039;m too worried.<br /> What is wrong with my brother? I have seen him in need of money, but now, he acts like he has gone crazy! He was even searching in the basement when I came home, looking for any money. When I escaped him, I heard him ask Amber for cash. What kind of trouble did he get into this time? I don&#039;t like this.<br /> What will I do tomorrow? I can&#039;t do both! My shift starts at four, and the diner has to be ready at nine. Should I do as Vince said and skip work or obey Alec? None of them we let me off.<br /> Vince hates me as well, and never hesitates to beat me. I fear his beating more than I fear my brother&#039;s; he is way too strong.<br /> Either way, this won&#039;t end well for me.<br /> ---<br /> &quot;I won&#039;t go,&quot; I say<br /> I&#039;m shaking, but I won&#039;t change my mind. Alec stares at me with a furious look. I ignore him. I may be afraid of him, but the Alpha&#039;s wrath is even scarier.<br /> &quot;What, did you say you won&#039;t go? You just shut up and go already; I am not asking for your opinion! You prick!&quot;<br /> I bite my lip and clench my fist holding the spoon. I try to focus on those appetizers, ignoring the furious eyes of my brother. Alec starts yelling at me, as I expected. I can take his insults.<br /> He slaps me, but I don&#039;t care. I ignore the pain and keep making those toasts. A new slap, and one of the appetizers falls on the floor. Don&#039;t look at him, don&#039;t. Keep going.<br /> &quot;You are gonna go to work right now!&quot; He yells in the kitchen.<br /> No, I won&#039;t. I know it&#039;s no use talking back, so I don&#039;t. Even my wolf is proud of me. She is being fierce, showing her teeth, sharing her strength with me. We won&#039;t submit to him.<br /> If I don&#039;t make this dinner a success for the Alpha, not only Vince, but the whole pack will be mad at me. I know how merciless the Blood Moon pack can be. That is no joke. Everyone still vividly remembers how they destroyed the Snow Moon Clan two years ago. They didn&#039;t just fight them; they killed all of those who didn&#039;t pledge allegiance to the Blood Moon emblem.<br /> Compared to that kind of threat, those of my brother are definitely not as fearsome.<br /> He keeps the yelling going, but I ignore him. He slaps me a couple of times, pissed, but that won&#039;t work. When he suddenly stops, I raise my head, surprised. The Alpha, Vince, just entered the kitchen.<br /> &quot;What&#039;s going on here?&quot; Vince asks. &quot;I can hear you all the way from my office, Alec, keep it down.&quot;<br /> &quot;Nothing, Alpha. Just telling this eyesore to work faster...&quot;<br /> &quot;You mind your own business! I need your sister working. Leave her be and stop hindering her work. Do you want to be useful? Go help Greg and Margaret upstairs. And shut up!&quot;<br /> Alec glares at me, but how is it my fault now? He has no choice but to obey and exits the kitchen, towards the stairs. Vince looks at me with disdain and peeks a glance at my work so far. It&#039;s not much, but it&#039;s not even 4 pm yet, and I know I&#039;m going to be ready on time. Without saying anything, he exits the room. Apparently, he recognizes I&#039;ve been working diligently and won&#039;t get mad. I let out a sigh of relief and go back to my task. At least now I know Alec won&#039;t dare to come back here.<br /> The hours go by, and I can feel the tension rising within our pack&#039;s building. Everyone is anxious about this meeting. Vince came down to check on my work five times within the last two hours. But I am proud of everything I have done and even feel rather confident about the dinner.<br /> &quot;Nora! Stop daydreaming!&quot;<br /> &quot;So... Sorry Alpha. But I&#039;m almost done!&quot; I defend myself, showing the completed dishes.<br /> Vince nods, but won&#039;t compliment me. Then, he takes a look at me and clicks his tongue. I glance down. I spent all afternoon cooking, and thus, my clothes were dirtied. They weren&#039;t pretty, to begin with, but now... I look like a beggar. Even my hair is messy.<br /> &quot;I will change into new clothes as soon as I&#039;m done.&quot;<br /> &quot;Whatever. Just go to your room and don&#039;t you dare come out tonight. I don&#039;t need the Blood Moon leaders to see your... face.&quot;<br /> His eyes are set on where my scar is, behind my hair. I was careful to braid my hair the right way so my curls would hide it, but it&#039;s no use, he knows it&#039;s there. I avoid his gaze and lower my head.<br /> At the same time, a group of pack members walks by to go to the recreation room, laughing and jokingly pushing one another. Alec is among them, and he stops as soon as he sees me. He goes from a smile to a pissed-off look in no time and keeps glaring at me as long as our eyes meet. I know my brother still thinks about this shift, but it&#039;s way too late now. I wonder why he wanted tonight&#039;s money so badly. Is he having money issues again?<br /> But he can&#039;t say anything right now; Vince is still facing me and watching my every move like a hawk, making sure I finish in time. I feel, however, that this will only delay Alec&#039;s punishment for opposing him...<br /> An hour later, I&#039;m in the kitchen with my completed dishes, giving instructions.<br /> &quot;...And this is called crème brûlée. All you need to do is burn the sugar on top a little when you serve it, like I just did.&quot;<br /> Jill and Maria are frowning, trying to remember it all. They will be the ones to serve tonight, as Vince doesn&#039;t want anyone that is not part of the pack to see me. Jill and Maria are my age, but they are way prettier, though they are not really smart.<br /> &quot;Wait, why did you have to make a Russian dessert?&quot; Asks Maria while playing with her blonde hair<br /> &quot;It&#039;s not Russian, it&#039;s French! Vince said the main Family is originally from France, so...&quot;<br /> They give me suspicious stares, but I don&#039;t care. All I need is for them to remember a few names and how to serve it!<br /> Thankfully, about twenty minutes later, I think they finally get it. I hope so... They leave upstairs to get ready, and I can finally clean the kitchen.<br /> It&#039;s almost time. Everyone is ready, and it is time for me to go hide in the basement. I&#039;m so exhausted from cooking all afternoon, I just lay flat on my familiar couch.<br /> I&#039;m about to fall asleep when I can hear them. The people from the Blood Moon Clan are here!<br /> I get up, totally awake, and run across the room to the small window. I climb on top of a rundown drawer to reach the opening. I have to stand on my toes to actually get to see something. My eyes are at ground level, and, for a while, all I can distinguish are feet and paws. But I can clearly hear Vince&#039;s voice.<br /> &quot;Welcome! Welcome to the Jade Moon Den. I am Vincent Greene, and this is my Beta, Peter.&quot;<br /> I can distinguish his big brown boots among the crowd, and Peter, in his wolf form, next to him. Actually, a few members of our pack shapeshifted, too, prior to the guests&#039; arrival, just in case... I suppose both sides can&#039;t trust the other.<br /> However, facing them, the Blood Moon pack members are easy to recognize, even from my position: They are all in human form, and wearing dark suits and classy black leather shoes. Look like some mafia has arrived! I&#039;m shocked not a single one of them is in their wolf form. Are they that confident? Or just trying to act arrogantly? One of them answers, with a nice and gentle voice I didn&#039;t expect.<br /> &quot;Thank you for having us. You have a lovely turf indeed... How lucky of you to be able to enjoy a run in the forest anytime you want.&quot;<br /> His tone is peaceful, so why is it his words seem so... menacing? I feel like he is threatening instead of thanking! Vince must be tense, but he won&#039;t show it.<br /> &quot;Oh, we are very attached to our land. My family has protected it for generations. But the forest is everyone&#039;s, of course, so please do not hesitate to come whenever you want to escape the city!&quot;<br /> I don&#039;t believe they would wait for permission...<br /> Vince finally invites them in, and I leave my spot to go put my ear against the door. The basement is next to the kitchen and pretty close to the dining hall. I can hear all the chatting as they go by, with Vince introducing some pack members and showing them the way. Actually, he is the only one talking; none of the Blood Moon can be heard. I wonder what they look like...<br /> I listen to them enter the dining hall, and then the kitchen goes quiet.<br /> Meanwhile, I change quickly into some clean clothes. I grab a clean pair of jeans that I have left in the old wardrobe and put on a dark blue sweater that&#039;s too big on me, but never mind. At least I feel clean.<br /> I&#039;m putting my messy hair into a low bun when I hear some steps coming from the kitchen. Jill and Maria came to take the first plates, chatting as always.<br /> &quot;Gosh, I could barely breathe in there; everyone is so tense! If only they would relax a little,&quot; says Maria.<br /> &quot;Oh, I wish I could relax with that Nathaniel guy. I&#039;m sure he&#039;s a wild beast behind the pretty boy look...&quot;<br /> &quot;Keep your paws off, girl. Amber already is eyeing him. That girl is such a woman... But even without her, I wouldn&#039;t go near one of them. Those Black brothers are scary. I mean, those guys killed their own father and Alpha!&quot;<br /> &quot;And it&#039;s only two of them here. But I heard the oldest brother is the worst; he is the crazy one of the lot. Okay, you got all of them?&quot; Jill whispers.<br /> They go back, and the kitchen goes silent again. Did they really kill their Alpha father? I didn&#039;t know that part! No wonder everyone is so afraid of them... Jill and Maria come and go again in the kitchen, but the chatting is reduced to them trying to remember what they are serving. It&#039;s nerve-wracking to hear them struggle when I&#039;m just behind the door, but I can&#039;t disobey Vincent&#039;s orders just to help those two!<br /> Thankfully, it seems the dinner goes well. I can hear everyone exiting the dining room, and their voices reach me again when they go out. It&#039;s dark by now, but never mind, I can still hear them talking.<br /> &quot;....was impressed. It&#039;s been a while since we&#039;ve enjoyed some authentic French cuisine,&quot; says the guy from earlier.<br /> They liked it! I find myself smiling and let out a sigh of relief, as Jill and Maria never said a thing about the guests&#039; impressions for the whole dinner.<br /> &quot;Glad you enjoyed it! It was our honor to have you here tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Surely our brother is going to regret missing this. Who knew the Jade Moon Clan had such cooking-skilled members... By the way, you have exquisite ladies here.&quot;<br /> Vince must be overjoyed. This is the same as saying they would agree to let our packs members court each other, an excellent way to improve relationships.<br /> &quot;Hey. Is that all your girls?&quot; Says a voice I haven&#039;t heard before.<br /> Judging from his arrogant tone, that must be the other brother. What&#039;s with his question? He sounds so disdainful!<br /> &quot;Hmm, well, yes. You&#039;ve seen all our young girls who have yet to find their mate tonight...&quot;<br /> &quot;Never mind. Let&#039;s leave.&quot;<br /> They exchange a few greetings and soon leave. I can hear some of our pack members letting out sighs of relief.<br /> &quot;What&#039;s with this attitude of his?! Are we not pretty enough now?&quot; Growls Amber.<br /> &quot;None of the Black Brothers has a mate yet. Maybe they were also looking for some prospect wife...&quot; Says Lily, Vince&#039;s fiancée.<br /> &quot;Anyway, that went well. We should be content with that alone. I don&#039;t want any issues with the Blood Moon Clan. Their brother is pissed at the Sapphire Moon Clan these days, and trust me. No one wants to take their place...&quot;<br /> I step down, as Vince is now just giving orders for the patrols. What a night... Even without being in the room, I was still on edge because of this dinner. Again, I wonder why those brothers and their guard bothered to come all the way here. They own half of the city and scare the other half. Are they interested in the outskirts of the city now?<br /> I just keep thinking about the dark rumors surrounding those three Black brothers, and slowly fall into a deep sleep...<br /> ---<br /> Something&#039;s wrong with my brother.<br /> &quot;Nora, come here.&quot;<br /> &quot;Alec!&quot;<br /> My brother is here! He&#039;s in the kitchen, fidgeting and looking at me with a weird look. I approach him cautiously. He doesn&#039;t look drunk, that&#039;s a relief. I was thinking he might have been drinking, but he seems pretty neat and sober. All of a sudden, he hands me what he&#039;s been holding in his hands. Isn&#039;t that... one of our mother&#039;s dresses! I recognize the beautiful embroidery and the lace on the back. I didn&#039;t even know he had it!<br /> &quot;I found this. Just put it on.&quot;<br /> Is this supposed to be a... present? He&#039;s frowning and won&#039;t look at it. I am not sure about what to do. Isn&#039;t this dress too thin for the season? Why would I put on such a pretty and daring dress here and now? But all of a sudden, my hesitation angers him.<br /> &quot;Just put this thing on, I said!&quot;<br /> He violently slaps me, making me step back. I don&#039;t answer and flee down to the basement to obey. I don&#039;t want to get hit a second time.<br /> I get dressed in front of the mirror, but my reflection is... unsettling. This dress is pretty, long and sleeveless, with lace at the back to find a corset-like style. The pure white doesn&#039;t look too good on my pallid and bruised skin. And it&#039;s mother&#039;s...<br /> &quot;How long do you need to put on a dress?!&quot;<br /> Alec comes down without warning and looks at me, visibly pissed. Seeing that I&#039;m done, he runs up to me and grabs me by the arm without a word. I try resisting, but he&#039;s way stronger. He takes me out of the house and starts walking toward the city.<br /> &quot;Wait, Alec, stop! I can&#039;t go out looking like this! What are you doing?! Stop!&quot;<br /> He stops, and I get a new slap, a second, and a third, one after another.<br /> &quot;Will you shut up?! I don&#039;t care! Just shut up and walk!&quot;<br /> I don&#039;t dare to say a word anymore. I don&#039;t want any more hits, but where are we going?! I&#039;m barefooted, and he makes me walk looking like this in the open! I am starting to get really scared of what&#039;s coming now. He makes sure we avoid the rest of the pack, making us take the long way around the houses. Everyone is having dinner, is that why he only came now? To avoid others? I don&#039;t like this...<br /> Twenty minutes later, we finally enter one of the buildings in the outskirts of the city. I know this one: It belongs to our Jade Moon Clan, so a few pack members live here. Who are we meeting, then? Without a word, he pushes me into the elevator, and finally lets my arm go. I&#039;m freezing, and my arm aches...<br /> &quot;Alec, what&#039;s going on? Why are we here?&quot;<br /> &quot;Settling my debts.&quot;<br /> &quot;What, how?&quot;<br /> He doesn&#039;t answer and pushes me to the sixth floor. He grabs me again as he sees me hesitating, and pushes me before him. I trip and almost fall on my knees as we enter one of the apartments, and when I raise my head, I see Marcus.<br /> Marcus, staring at me with a grin, half-undressed.<br /> &quot;There you go,&quot; says Alec.<br /> &quot;Wait, what? Alec, what is this?&quot; I ask, panicked.<br /> Oh Moon Goddess, no, no, no.<br /> Marcus won&#039;t keep his hungry eyes off me, and my brother looks so... detached.<br /> &quot;I told you, we are settling my debts. Marcus will do that.&quot;<br /> &quot;Exactly, sweetheart. Now you are going to be a good girl and let me have my fun, and your brother walks out with all that money he needs. How great is that?!&quot; Exclaims Marcus, with a broad smile.<br /> Have they gone crazy?! I don&#039;t want to spend even a minute with this lecherous dog! And now he wants to sell me to this old for money? What?!<br /> &quot;No, no, I&#039;m going,&quot; I say, turning back to the door.<br /> But Alec is in my way and grabs my arm forcefully.<br /> &quot;Stop it, Nora! All you have to do is let him drill you and our money problems are over! What, are you going to say you don&#039;t want to? You think I give you?! But look, we need that money, so you&#039;re gonna be a good girl and...&quot;<br /> &quot;And screw you, Alec!&quot; I explode. &quot;What money problems? You&#039;re the one who got in trouble in the first place! Why do I have to do this?! I don&#039;t get a single cent for myself! Now you want to make me pay for the money I earned and you stupidly wasted? No way I&#039;m doing this!&quot;<br /> He hits me violently — a full punch, throwing me on the floor. I land painfully on my arms, letting out a cry.<br /> &quot;Shut up! Whose fault is it I&#039;m broke in the first place! Who made me an orphan, huh? You freak!&quot;<br /> He grabs me by the hair, forcefully making me stand on my knees, and looks at me with those crazy eyes.<br /> &quot;You&#039;re going to do it, Nora. You&#039;re going to be the prick you are and have slept with Marcus. And after that, you better not complain, not a word, because if you do, I will kill you for good this time, you hear me?&quot;<br /> He lets me go, and storms out, slamming the door behind him.<br /> He has gone mad. I&#039;m shaking all over, from the panic and the shock combined. What nightmare is this?<br /> &quot;Well, well, well.... It seems like you have your orders, now. So let&#039;s be a good girl, Nora. I&#039;m paying your brother a good sum to have my way with you, so don&#039;t you play hard to get now.&quot;<br /> I don&#039;t want this pork anywhere near me, and there is no way I&#039;m going to let him touch me in any way. My wolf is growling like crazy inside, ready to defend herself.<br /> No way.<br /> ---<br /> I slowly open my eyes.<br /> Such a high ceiling... Where am I?<br /> I turn my head. I&#039;m in the biggest bed I&#039;ve ever seen. I&#039;m surrounded by medical monitors and it looks like a hospital bed, but... Brick red walls, wood flooring, and fancy furniture? The room is so huge, thirty people could fit in. But there&#039;s only three.<br /> A woman and a man are chatting on a sofa, and a younger guy is sitting to the side in a chair, resting his feet on a table and playing with a smartphone.<br /> &quot;Oh, I think she&#039;s awake! &quot;<br /> I can&#039;t talk, so the man brings me a notepad and a pen from the table. I write down my name.<br /> &quot;Nora Bluemoon,&quot; he reads out loud. &quot;A pretty name.&quot;<br /> He looks like our mate. I feel as if my wolf is saying this.<br /> Wait, what now? How do you know he does?<br /> But she goes silent again. It makes no sense. We have yet to meet him, so how would we know if he looks like our mate?<br /> While I&#039;m trying to understand, some vague memory of a pair of silver eyes flashes, and I realize this guy as almost the same eyes. Only his are not really silver, but more of a blue-ish grey. Was that just a dream? Or did someone else really come to visit us while I was unconscious?<br /> I grab the pen once again to write my questions, and show them to Tonia.<br /> &quot;Why are you here? Well, you were in really bad shape when we found you.&quot;<br /> &quot;I don&#039;t think that&#039;s what she means, Tonia.&quot;<br /> The man addresses me, standing still next to my bed. &quot;The hospital belongs to my family, so that&#039;s why Tonia brought you here. And we believe you are someone really special for my older brother, so, we got you the VIP room.&quot;<br /> How am I special? And how rich must his family be to own the General Hospital? I didn&#039;t even know hospitals could be bought or had VIP rooms until now.<br /> His gentle voice really has a way to make people feel calm and weary at the same time. Why does it look so familiar?<br /> Oh, Moon Goddess.<br /> I know where I&#039;ve met him before. He was at the meeting with the Blood Moon Clan!<br /> He&#039;s one of the Black brothers! And saying I&#039;m special to his older brother means...<br /> Mate!
