Chapter 7
Aurora
Before I could process what was happening, Nathalia sent me flying toward the door with another heavy kick. My head hit the hard wooden door, making it ring.
I groaned in pain, holding my head with my eyes shut tightly.
What I heard was a flick of fingers and before I knew it, two guards dragged me by my arms outside my room, before throwing me on the floor.
I struggled to crawl away when Nathalia’s figure hovered above me.
I couldn’t lose my temper. Not in the presence of everyone.
But she can humiliate you in the presence of everyone, right? My subconscious yelled at me.
I was left without a choice. I had to save myself from unnecessary punishment.
“You slut!” She yelled in anger, dragging me by my hair before I could make it across the room.
“Let me go,” I struggled struggling to push her hand off my hair, but she tightened her grip, almost uprooting my hair strands.
My scalp burned in pain as I felt some strands pulled out forcefully.
“What is the meaning of this, Nathalia?” The Alpha’s authoritative voice boomed across the room.
I heaved a sigh of relief.
I knew he would rescue me from his psycho daughter.
“Nothing serious, dad. I am just punishing this brat!” She hissed, smacking me hard on my face.
“I said stop it!” He ordered, using his Alpha’s tone, but Nathalia hissed, looking away as if he was invisible.
“I can’t let a thief roam free in this house!” She shouted, making my heart break.
“But I didn’t steal anything!” I shouted back, but she punched my face.
The hallway was getting more crowded now. I could make out more than 7 people gawking at us.
The Alpha and his Luna, my mother, Eve who looked like she was about to cry.
“Listen to your father, Nathalia, let your sister go,” The Luna tried to intervene.
“She is not my sister,” Nathalia thundered. Her voice almost pulled the mansion apart.
She hated being called my sister.
“She is a bastard! She doesn’t belong here. She is the daughter of a slut!”
“Hey!” My mother interrupted, but she continued as if my mother didn’t exist.
“She is a shameless whore and a thief!” Shs concluded, spitting on me, before releasing me from her grip.
I winced in pain as I struggled to stand on my feet.
“Is that true?” The Alpha and Luna chorused, knotting their brows in confusion.
“Are you saying I’m lying?” Nathalia gasped in disbelief before I could speak.
“This thief here, stole my jewelry!” Nathalia accused me, pointing her fingers at me to my father’s disappointment.
It was her words against mine.
“She didn’t steal it!” Another voice from the small crowd rang.
I almost jumped in existence when I saw Eve.
Nathalia threw her a death glare as she made her way to the Alpha, but she ignored it.
“Alpha,” She acknowledged, bowing briefly, “Ma’am Nathalia told Rory to do the chores in preparation for the Alpha King’s arrival. Rory didn’t even stand except for bathroom breaks. When I was about to meet the chief cook, I saw a guard entered into Rory’s room. I am certain that was the jewelry that Ma’am Nathalia was searching for,” Eve explained.
“Thank you,” I mouthed, hoping she would see how grateful I was.
“That doesn’t change the fact that her mother saw it in her room!”
“Because it was planted there by someone! Were you deaf when she was talking?” The Alpha yelled at her irritatedly.
My eyes met Eve and a feeling of pity washed through me. Nathalia would make sure she paid for speaking up for me. Has would make her life a miserable hell.
Maybe she should have kept quiet to save herself.
“Was that the reason for this drama?” The Luna asked, hissing afterwards and turning to leave, “Your father and I have better things to attend to,”
“Who said I’m letting her go?” Nathalia resumed grabbing my hair.
Seemed she wasn’t going to accept defeat yet.
“She is a whore!”
“I’m not…”
“Shut up! No one asked for your opinion, fucking whore!”
“Nathalia, what is it this time?” The Alpha gritted his teeth irritatedly.
“I saw her seduce my man,”
“Man? What man?” He asked, creasing his brow in confusion.
“The Alpha King. She was all over him when we were in the hall. She even wore this rag to get his attention!” Nathalia screamed, ripping my floral dress instantly and kicking me so hard that I fell on my taste.
My eyes flashed in anger when my lips tasted my blood.
Not this time, bitch.
I let my emotions overtake me as I growled at Nathalia, challenging her for a fight and she didn’t waste time to pounce on me, tearing the rest of my gown.
Good thing I wore underwear.
I launched at her, striking her hard on her face and scratching her hard with my sharp nails till blood gushed out of her face.
Nothing else mattered. Not even the punishment I would receive afterwards.
I was beating the hell out of Nathalia and I would enjoy every moment of it.
Before anyone could separate me, I sat on her, descending a series of punches on her battered face before scratching her body.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
A push from her sent me crashing on the floor and some guards pinned me down.
I let out a gasp when Nathalia let out a howl as she shifted before everyone.
She cheated, knowing I couldn’t shift.
She was definitely going to kill me in her wolf form.
She was about to launch at me when I felt my bones shift.
Maybe my broken ribs.
I let out screams as furs sprouted from my body. My teeth weren’t left out as sharp cannies replaced my teeth. My beautiful fingernails were replaced with long claws.
I stood on all fours, growling and howling louder than Nathalia.
Gasp flew from all directions as they watched in shock.
No one expected this. Not even Nathalia thought my wolf could be bigger and powerful than hers.
While her wolf was lean, mine was huge, towering above hers.
Did I just fucking shift?
This was the happiest day of my life!
Confusion soon overtook me as I glared at the colour of my fur.
Silver coloured fur.
My eyes widened as I saw Nathalia’s fur colour. As dark as night.
In this pack, no one possessed a silver wolf except the Alpha and the Luna. Their offspring were supposed to possess silver fur just like them.
I gasped in shock at the realization.
Was the Alpha’s mistress my biological mother?
