Just then, I began to hear quick footsteps stomping in the direction of my room and I groaned, slumping in the bed tiredly.
Who again?
Just as expected, my door burst open, and the Luna stepped in with a smirk.
She stood tall and elegant, smelling so nice and alluring, adorned with a gown of deep crimson, the rich fabric flowing elegantly around her as she moved, highlighting her slender figure and emphasizing her curves with her long, flowing hair cascading down her back in blonde waves giving her a pretty innocent appearance, but her heart is the opposite.
Cold, Ugly, dirty and cruel.
"Good evening, Queen." I greeted nervously wondering why she was here again. She quickly covered her nose as if I was stinking.
"Not all body guards you will listen to especially those close to me." She snickered then walked closer while I fumed silently. So she was the one who did that.
"Yes ma'am." I mouthed and she scoffed.
"You must be waiting for us to actually finish eating so you can go lick up our leftovers like a dog." She scorned "To save you the stress, we finished everything, so stop having hopes"
Tears prickled my eyes, but I fought them back.
"Okay, I have heard you, ma'am." I replied breathlessly, fighting to push back the urge to grab her head and smash it on the mirror there.
"I wasn't the one who made your w***e mother open her legs for vampires to gangbang her, so don't blame me." She whispered with a sardonic laugh and it felt like my heart was stabbed.
I began to sob silently, my gaze on the floor as I remembered the scene of the day my mother died. it was replaying in my head.
"Well, listen to me, dirty pig!" She snapped, and I raised my face, looking at her and seeing that mockery face. I really wish I could get that outburst of vampire powers like that night of my birthday. I won't hesitate to devour her from limb to limb and suck her blood dry.
But there was absolutely nothing I could do. Not when I can't even have a normal wolf ability. I was the weakest wolf, all strength destroyed with the wolfsbane and silver torture they inflict on me every month, adding that I haven't been able to shapeshift into my wolf yet.
"My step children are returning tomorrow. A handsome and sexy guy and the most beautiful girl you will ever see. They decided to complete their final year here at this pack's best school. You must treat them like rare gem with total submission. Anything he ask of you, do it." She said in warning.
"Why do you care about them? They aren't your children and might end up treating you bad." I seethed and she laughed in a sinister tone.
"You know nothing. Just shut up and do as I say, like the wimp you are. Listen, even if he ask for sex, don't dare make it a deal. A slave like you has no choice on who to touch her body and who not to." She spat shamelessly and it was a miracle that I didn't break her nose with a heavy punch.
"If he tries raping me, it might just be another case of murder by me!" I bawled and she gave me a knock on the head so hard that I felt it in my brain.
I groaned, my face red in anger, as I held my head tight while they ached really bad.
"Stop thinking highly of yourself. Be ready to face it all since you are wish to live. Suicide is the easiest way of escape but you are being stubborn like your prostitute mother." she snorted and I growled, my fists clenched tight as I raised them in the air, holding myself from striking her.
"One day, hit me. I can't wait " She taunted with a smug smile and chuckled wickedly before walking away, swaying her hips in pride as I fumed, wishing I could actually pounce on her but I knew I would end up regretting.
I slumped on the bed and after almost an hour, my door was kicked open again, and another royal guard walked in, jolting me up as I hissed sadly at the fact that anyone could just barge into my room anytime and anyhow without knocking.
"Hey, bloodsucker, you ain't eating those leftovers, huh? You can go pack the plates then before the Alpha notices they are still there since they finished eating!" He scoffed, and I arched my brows in surprise.
"There are leftovers? They didn't finish it?" I asked, standing to my feet as my stomach grumbled louder with a twinge that made me gasp as I swallowed hard to contain the pain.
Does it mean that Laura lied to me?
He snorted and headed out quickly, while I burst into a wild run to the dining room. Just as I pushed the door open, my jaw dropped as I saw the leftover food on the plates. It was packed together for me, but the Luna's personal maids was feeding it to dogs.
"Are you here for this?" She asked as soon as she noticed me standing at the door, but my eyes were glued to the tongues of the dogs on the dishes, from the potatoes to the rice, vegetables, and meats. All that in their little portions could be enough to tame my hunger till the next day, adding that I needed to eat so I could bear the torture this night.
"If you're finally here to eat all these, I can stop the dogs from eating further and allow you to have the rest." She sniggered as she pushed more plates to the dogs, who hungrily pounced on them.
It really hurt, but the last thing I could do was shed a single tear for this maid.
"The Luna sent you to do this, right?" I bellowed, and she nodded with a lopsided smile.
"Yes, it's the best thing to do to a cursed girl like you. The dogs are better than you!" She blurted, feeding more.
"How is it going having the Luna pee in your mouth and flog you everyday like a donkey?" I responded sardonically, laughing at her in the most mocking way.
She was unaware that I had seen a few of how miserable her life was being the Luna's personal maid. She was more like a slave but had to keep it a secret and act like she was treated nicely.
I didn't really know my words could hit her so hard as she flinched and stood in anger, her cheeks flushing red as tears glistened in her eyes.
"I am not a toy like you, bitchy vampire." She bawled, trying to cover up, but I laughed harder.
"You are really pathetic, having lost your freedom for the rest of your life. She told you to feed the dogs with this, and you think it's the right time to deride me to make yourself feel better. Try getting a life where you aren't wrapped around someone's finger, receiving all slaps, knocks, and spits on your face." I retorted scornfully.
She couldn't bear it anymore and rushed at me with an attempt to slap my left cheek, but she was too slow; I was able to dodge it so easily, and unfortunately for her, she had little or no balance.
The next minute, she had already toppled over the table, sprawling a few of the ceramic jars and teacups on it. They fell and shattered on the floor.
"You see what you have caused, you evil girl!" She cried out, but I only used the remaining strength to give her another shot of laughter before walking away and jamming the door.
My vision was becoming blurry, and my brain was hazy from stressing out my fatigued body as I headed back to my room. The starvation really hit me hard; I almost fell.
I went back in and lay on my bed in hunger but suddenly I qfelt the urge to sneak out and wander into the woods then visit my favorite river, where I spent most of my time back then.
Sneaking out was something I hadn't thought of before because I was really scared, and I really can't tell why it crept into my mind and was already bubbling inside me. The hunger for food suddenly gone and replaced with this desire to see the outside world once again.
