Chapter 2
Every fiber in the universe hears, every star in the Galaxy responds and each deed has a repercussion.
When a soul sufferer the whole Creation cries, the sorrows never to be gone unnoticed.
Never curse a fair, never make their heart weep-the ultimate rule of Life.
Each breath of the sufferer had an effect and the tormentor has to pay.
Moon goddess Selene had broken the rule but time always ruled and the person to hold its reins was captured in his own world....it won't be long when his chains will be destroyedso will the goddess' destiny.
A child was born with eyes of ocean. Sweet nectar seemed to flow as her cry rang first time. Dark blue eyes with an aquamarine tint seem to glimmer with joy.
Her mother clasped her mouth crying the tears of joy as her father held her small wrist wondering what had he done so good in life to be blessed with such an angel.
Her brown hair in small wavy curls seem to be flowing with wind, soft breeze caressing her with utmost affection.
The oblivion which was roaring with thunder seem to bow down to her, calming the catastrophic rain.
The one to command powers of life and death was born as a werewolf...a mortal herself which was an irony.
Goddess Selene watched the child from skies as the new soul was welcomed among her wolves, that little girl was a Luna...a powerful aura that seemed vague right now would bend the world one day.
Goddess S-Selene u-underworld has gone calm, it's g-glowing... radiating like heaven. a messenger informed with his eyes blown wide, he couldn't believe what he saw.
Radiating like heaven?....the cold place was the representation of King Hades, his emotions changed the weather....it can't be happening.
The goddess again looked at the girl in disbelief, she sure was a Luna, realization hit her as tons of bricks.....not any Luna, she was King Hades' Queen.
The moon goddess eyes widened as she saw the formation of a strong golden fiber of love and a bond being woven in air- the strongest to ever been formed. It shined brightly like glimmering pearls beaded together.
So she did what was best for her, the sharp moon dagger aimed above from her dainty fingers ripped the fiber before it could intertwine completely.
She twirled her fingers, selecting the most corrupted of thread- red which represented the wolves fated to be mateless and attached it with one ripped piece- the girl's soul.
She gave the newborn a devastating future filled with pain and anguish but could she. A tinge of pain erupted in a corner of her heart....can Selene see the girl suffering? She didn't knew herself.
But if only she knew.....
A horrific scream resonated from her mouth as ink darkness started covering her hands, the same hands which broke the rule of nature. Her creamy fingers developed claws- a corrupted soul.
Her eyes snapped to the dark blue mirror adorned with turquoise sapphire in her adobe, it reflected her once luminescence face, now marred with a shade of pitch coal. Another scream left her lips.
Never will be the moon shine bright and complete white everyday, now it's beauty would be engulfed by darkness in its soul. Each day a slash of black will corrupt a part of it's round face.
There wasn't a day when the full moon failed to shine in all it's glory...but it won't be full now, nature was changing its course and Selene would pay the price of going against it.
May the little girl never pay the price though...for her new mate was made to devastate her.

Black moon pack
Persephone's POV
The pack house was filled with murmurs, the people who ignored me all my life were eyeing me with jealousy- to be mated to an Alpha was an extreme honor, it did not matter if that same alpha may breed me like a whore but even to carry his pups was an extreme honor. It was not the life that I wished for.
The orphan and omega children whom I used to live with a few hours ago were huddled in corner eyeing my food full plate hungrily for after the death of my father and mother-the previous luna and alpha of the black moon I was reduced to the lowest stature yet even if they take away my soul they would never be able to touch the protective instinct that I possessed for my people.
They haven't been given food for past two days and today they would be served enough to survive the next two.
Tears glistened in my eyes as I took in their malnourished form, it was not like the other members never took pity on them but whenever they did, the remembrance of the punishment shuddered them to core, they would be made an omega too just like me.
Persephone, please give us one too Lily with her big brown eyes filled with hope asked for the grapes which seem to overflow out of my plate.
He was a monster- my mate to keep the children starved. I plucked a branch the wolves surrounding me watching my action with dread.
An icy voice froze the room What do you think you are doing my dear? The touch that traced my neck going from my back and then grasping my hair as if to establish his dominance made me realise he had seen my actions.
********************************
Chapter 3
The vein in his neck twitched while his hands convulsed violently as if stopping himself from wrapping around the little omega's neck standing before his mate....that little female that had an aphrodisiacal aroma, he could not wait to fill up her body with his seed, so much so that she would be nothing but his doll ready to take him in whenever he wished it.
No matter how many people were there, she must be his perfect sex slave.
The demeanor of the pack house changed with his presence. A little girl was pushed by his slave behind her.
Alpha Adrian stalked towards Persephone, fire in her sapphire eyes still flaring like embers.
He hated the courage she possessed,the power she asserted....a born Luna who didn't required an Alpha to rule. Adrian had tried to repress her in all ways possible after the death of her parents but she was like a weed and no matter what she did not left her pride.
His blue orbs took in the way she stood. with grace and honor, her body untouched, immersed in innocence ....still being untamed, wild with her intoxicating scent provoking him. He wanted to taint her in ways that she must never rise or think.
A woman whose only job was to always stay pregnant and at home.
A forced smile made a way to his lips...soon he will breed her with his pups and when he would be done, he would show the pathetic mutt her place....only if it wasn't for her delicious body.
He needed a woman to keep under his shoe, the one who would quench his insatiable sexual thirst but the only problem was his wolf Mason.
Mason cared for her, he wanted to meet her wolf....her wolf which he couldn't sense but how was that possible when she sure was a werewolf?
"Alpha, they are starving..." his body went rigid hearing that euphonious sound....if only he could crush those worthless creatures and show the woman her place....his bed and beneath him.
"Jason, give the omegas as much food as they want." he replied not removing his eyes from her, only they wouldn't be wanting it from tomorrow.
The head cook came forward with his frame trembling as the Black moon Alpha ordered everyone to sit.
All of them watched their Alpha and future Luna in awe..... Alpha was really changing. While Persephone watched him with unbelieving eyes as he took a seat beside her, something was dubious or was this man really trying?
Absence of light is darkness...absence of conscience is evil....don't trust a monster. Don't sell your soul.
If only she knew.....
Even an hour wasn't passed and the screams and cries echoed throughout the arena.
"THROW THAT PATHETIC OMEGA IN DUNGEON!" the Alpha ordered the cell guard in a voice that made them all tremble.
"Whip them all till their skin breaks and make sure that little mutt gets special treatment." Adrian roared, his voice getting dangerously low at the end glaring at Lily.
He sat down to watch as their torment.
Lily whimpered, tears freely flowing down her face, her big brown eyes pleading as other children completely froze, their face becoming pale with fear,huddled in the corner with their eyes blown wide.
"PERSEPHONE!" A scream of pure agony tore through Lily's heart as the man came closer to her.
'My Queen... Luna....your people need you.... Persephone.'
Persephone rose from her sleep drenched in sweat, her hair a tangled mess, a sheer silk cloth adoring her physique with her heart beating wild..who was that?
That strangely euphonious voice calling out to her as if waking her up from the sleep.
Apprehension clouded her vision as soon as she saw lights blooming in the dungeon from her small glass window. No stars were visible in the sky as storm clouds engulfed the atmosphere making her breathing became labored.
Fear, anguish, torment, fury and above all protectiveness washed over her but those weren't her emotions....it were her mate's- her true mate's.....whom she didn't know.
She rushed outside the pack house barefoot, running towards the dungeon like a maniac.
"Luna you can't enter." the guard tried stopping her but froze as soon as he looked into her eyes- an unquestionable command, he moved aside seeing her distraught state, it was not her original azure irises but her eyes have changed their colour to glorious silver.
___________________________________________
Persephone's POV
A loud wailing resonated- a child... Lily?
Fire engulfed my insides watching the scene in front of me, the heinous crime which was being committed shook me to the core.
Revenge.... Death... I was going to kill him.
Ferocity in my eyes made the monster who was going to whip Lily halt in his movements. Such cruelty bestowed upon a child, they were sinners, and they were going to pay for their deeds.
Torturing instruments adorned the wall, a silver flexible sword blade attracted my attention, picking it up I glided my finger across the sharp edge.
I stalked towards him...circling my prey. The slashing sound of blade echoed like a thunderbolt striking. A loud cry resonated as his eyes rolled in his head- dead.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Adrian's hand clasped my shoulder in a bruising grip as his harsh glare fell on the child hiding behind me.
Snatching Lily his fingers gripped her hair with force to which she screamed.
'Red.... Blood.....
My Luna.... My Queen....no one can harm you.' that voice again whispered in my ears as if telling me to fight, as if that person would not let anyone touch me.'
A powerful aura filled with unconstrained nefarious power summoned the surroundings.
Alpha Adrian's laid limp at his sides, three huge claw marks slit his chest with deep scarlett blood gushing out as his wolf Mason was forced down heavily by his head whimpering.
Nobody is going to harm them, their Queen was protecting them.
But unknown to the Queen her true king was protecting her.
*******************
Chapter 4
The Rule of Alphas
Kindness is often mistaken as fragility while viciousness as an insigna of strength.
Love runs the world ....trust builds it, love is unconditional but trust is sparse.
Never challenge an Alpha, the unspoken rule or if you do make sure he takes his last breaths in your feet.
Persephone was always aware of the consequences of her actions. Hurting your mate was considered as the highest crime...the punishment- trial and death but hurting an alpha could make her fall into the depths of heavy torment.
Running with the children late at night the sky seemed to glow with the celestial glimmers.
Their steps came to an abrupt halt as all five children stared doe eyed towards a beautiful clearing leading to a path, lit with thousands of fireflies, sacred blue lilies adorned the small stream running nearby.
A beautiful sight which seemed to calm the hearts of the younglings.
"You have to run with all your might, that's the Alpha's house in front of you ...... kids don't look back no matter what happens...now just run."
She kissed them farewell as they have reached their destination- The border of the Shadow Pack, the Alpha was alerted, he was a friend of her dead father and a very kind being so even when Persephone had no idea of her own life she would never endanger the lives of those children. She would not run with them and involve a pack war.
If her death can liberate others then so be it.
As she saw them sprinting towards their destination after hugging her tightly she took off in another direction, now shifting into her wolf....a unique one,
The rustling of leaves could be clearly heard and the predatory aura surrounding her increased to folds- the pack warriors.
***************************
Persephone's POV
All eyes were on me glaring accusingly, they didn't saved the children nor they wanted me to. They knew a child was being harmed still chosed to keep quiet....
Be Merciful
Alpha Adrian stalked menacingly towards me, gripping my chin with one hand his other one yanked my hair behind roughly producing a burning sensation on my scalp.
"Do you accept your wrongdoings?" I saw his bandages and gave a bone chilling smile.
"Yes, except it was NOT wrong."
"I will teach you a lesson which you will remember till your death, I will break you and you will willingly surrender to me, you will fucking LEARN your place. THROW THIS MUTT IN DUNGEON"
I watched as no one came forward, no words spoken in my defense as two men extended their hands to take me there.
I looked up raising my head first time in last hour since I was being held, both of them flinched back when I met their stare- an unvoiced command.
Adrian's hand held me in a vice grip as he began dragging me to the cell when suddenly a sharp burn stabbed in my stomach, I froze and doubled in pain as my hands held his unconsciously.
I looked up at him when he gave me an all knowing malicious grin....he knew...he knew I was going to be in heat.
I howled with discomfort and pain as he threw me inside the cellar... red scrotching heat submerging me, blisters started forming on my skin.
"You will learn mutt, till then enjoy."
I layed there limp with no sounds escaping me as fire seemed to burn my insides.
A strong gust of wind from the small window above caressed my cheek, whirling around me....serenity, peace. It felt like my body seemed to forget all about my mat-
Another wave of anguish ripped through my stomach, my body curling into the fetus position.
"MY LORD!" I screamed as tears poured down my eyes but this pain was different, it seemed to originate from my heart.......my mate was touching someone else.
It was extremely painful for a mate to bear their other half touching someone else when they have already met but this monster he purposefully did it in my heat.
Lord! He was having sex with another. Tears of vulnerability fell silently from my eyes....wait what was that....My heat was not over neither has that cheater of a man had stopped his revolting deed.
My heart clenched as it became warm, placid, feeling...loved? Was that even possible?
It almost felt like someone was sharing my sorrows, taking my sufferings upon their ownself, a surge of energy started flowing through my body with the wind caressing my soft curls..... I thanked the goddess shaking my head at the stupid thought of someone doing it to me.
I layed there basking in the warmth and protection that the breeze seemed to carry with it, petrichor- the smell of rainy soil filled my lungs rejuvenating my broken spirit.
Time seemed to flow smoothly.....it almost felt like my soul was searching for this.
---------
I was standing in front of the magnanimous gathering of wolves- the Black moon pack with Adrian sitting on the stage with some officials.
"Persephone you harmed your mate, now is your only chance to accept your mistake."
Adrian smirked as he watched me with eyes of a predator, I scanned the pack members....no regrets, no mercy.
Release the beast.
"You may speak Persephone." Adrian ordered.
"I, Persephone Rya, reject you Alpha Adrian Black as my mate."
