Tale Of A Cursed Alpha

I was going crazy. Or, that was how my mind wandering aimlessly made me feel at least. Never in my life had I been this holed up. After the breakfast turned interrogation session, I had remained in my room doing nothing other than sleeping and thinking, none of them doing me much good. I had managed the entire day inside my room and now, I felt I was going to go out of my mind if I did not get out. A major reason I did not want to go out was because of the two people that were just waiting to hack off my head. That and the fact that I was still a very unliked stranger but eventually even those were not good enough.

I looked out the window and saw the moon glowing not so brightly overhead and thought about going out to the backyard. However, I had barely opened the door when the three friends came bustling in. I was in no mood to get into another fight so I simply stepped back into the room however, before I could shut the door, I noticed the usually very composed Blaire looking very shaken and for a moment, I forgot to mind my business which was not very hard considering that our rooms stood opposite each other. I kept the door slightly open as I peeked, wondering what was going on with them. My eyes widened as I watched Ulo speak to Blaire just before she slinked into her room. Don’t blame me! I thought the guy was dumb with the way he never spoke a word, however little. Obviously, I was the one who was not fit to hear his voice. For a moment, I wondered if he hated me too. I shoved the thought as quickly as it had come. What did I care if he hated me? I was going to be out of here in no time.

I shut the door as I watched them advance toward my intended location. Great, just great! I retreated to my room that had become so familiar, it was starting to drive me out of my mind. Here I was sitting on my bed in the middle of the night with no sleep coming. Could my life get any worse? Going back to the window, I propped my cheek on the elbow and stared at the moon wondering if she would reply if I tried to converse with her. But even merely thinking the thought, I knew it was stupid. I was as good as dead to her, them till I managed to fulfill the task. The task! I sighed heavily as the word weighed on my heart, heavy as lead. I was feeling so homesick though that despite the thought, I decided to try it nonetheless.

“Hey, mother!” I whispered staring intently at the moon as though I expected the clouds to reorder themselves into an ‘I am here.’ Nothing of such kind happened. “You are up there, aren’t you? I know you are. I know you told me to right my wrongs but…” I paused, gulping. “I don’t know how to go about it. I know it is my mistake and that I ought to find a way to solve it myself however, I don’t think I am up to the task. Could you show me a sign, maybe a dream to guide me on what exactly I ought to do?” I knew better than to expect a reply yet, I couldn’t deny that as I knelt there, staring intently at the moon, I badly wanted an answer. Any sign, a wolf howling, a bird twittering, anything would have been welcome at that moment but as though mocking me, the entire universe seemed to go silent. Even the slight breeze decided to take a break. I sighed, my heart breaking as I moved away from the window. I really was on my own and I couldn’t even sleep.

My ears pricked as I heard feet jostling past. I hurried to the door and sure enough, the two men were making their way out of the house. I wondered where they were headed and for a moment wished I could go with them. It would have been a welcome break from this endless monotony but I knew that was impossible. Jamil would not mind but his other companion was the one I could not speak for.

Watching them leave, I suddenly got a crazy idea. I would have shoved the idea away the very moment it popped up if I had not been dying of boredom. I shrugged my shoulders wondering what could be the worst that could happen.

Looking down at my dress, it was all rumpled from tossing around in bed all day and I could bet that my hair looked even worse but I would live. With this thought in mind, I went after them while taking care to keep out of sight. The idea was to follow them to wherever they were going. I could think of a whole lot of places that a lady was not supposed to follow a guy to but I figured that I would stop following them if it became too messy. Besides, few things are new to you when you spend time in a place like The Haven. With this thought in mind, I semi-ran and semi-sneaked behind them. Getting to the gate, it was kind of tricky to get past the guards but they weren’t really on the lookout for a sneaking lady who tried her best to stay quiet so I managed to escape without much incident. I recognized the field they turned into from our tour in the morning. Seeing it brought back bittersweet memories that got my nose burning. I brushed it off as I continued after them.

The field was a pretty large one and the fact that it was open to the air did not make it any less impressive. It was decided into sections that I figured was filled with trainees in the day but were empty right now.

I stayed out of sight as I watched the two men battle each other. They were pretty good with their limbs which made me wonder how they would do with swords. They dropped to the ground after a while during which time I lowered my guard as well which was why I did not notice Jamil sitting up and turning around.

“Luna?”
