LUNA’S SECRET

Marcus watched the woman standing before him almost skin and bone, barely 5"5 , her hair was dirty and matted and her skin was covered with dirt, lightly scrapped with cuts that littered her, some properly healed and other still in the process of healing, but her eyes was very pretty large and luminous a startling silver that made you realize she would have been beautiful if properly taken care of, whatever curve she had was hidden in the shirt that was much too large for her.

I am Alpha Marcus Valen of golden moon pack and I demand to know your business in my pack. His voice was extremely rich yet soft that sent a shiver down Lunas spine and she quickly clamped down on it, she could not afford to like anyone ever again after her last mishap.

 "I am Lu- Lauretta Olgen, she quickly corrected herself, cursing her stupidity, I was an omega in the red moon pack when my people where slaughtered, everyone died she choked at her words as images flashed before her eyes and tears slid down her cheeks, I had no where to go and just walked until I got here, before Marcus could realize what was happening, he found himself reaching for her but when she flinched he caught himself, he realized that the poor girl was traumatized and may have been raped ,he felt disgusted at the kind of depravity his kind could decend to.

He sent a mind link to his sister Zara Valen briefing her about the omega in his territory, she didn't seem harmful only badly traumatized. Pretty soon his sister was bounded towards them a blur of black chiffon, looking extremely beautiful with her auburn hair in a bun, complaining about the stench and how poorly lit the area was.

When she sighted Lauretta, she cooed at her "oh you poor darling, you look positively awful, you need a bath and food", come with me Marcus can be such a brute sometimes, "shame on you Marcus treating a lady this way". Luna followed her glad to be leaving that dingy place. This was the first time she was seeing the main pack, she had been blindfolded when she was being led to the dungeon and even if she wasn't it was dark and without her wolf she didn't have night vision anymore. It was an extremely beautiful mansion.

It was almost a thousand times bigger than her pack the, main house was huge and painted white and gold color, giving it a regal look, all kinds of flowers were planted and there were rows and rows of houses as far as her eyes could see, she stumbled along barely able to keep up with Zara's energy, when she got to what she thought might be Zara's room she could not help the gasped that escaped her, the room looked like it was built for a queen, the room maintained the gold and white design with rows of wardrobes painted gold color filled to the brim and spilling with clothes all sorts of them, there were various cases that contained all kinds of jewelry. There were chandelier and beautiful purple chairs. 

Fresh flowers sat by the window and a large gold mirror sat on the dresser, a large portrait of Zara in a tiara, took one part of the wall. The window overlook the hill and riverbed and cool air wafted in, it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, Zara carefully prodded her out of her clothes and into the bathtub which was filled with warm water and she added an assortment of oils and bath bombs , Luna soaked into the warm water sighing in pleasure and eliciting giggles from Zara, who proceeded to wash her hair and scrubbed her skin, changing the water and refilling it until the water ran clean. Then she left Luna to do whatever business she needed to , when she was done she stepped out wrapped in a bathtub, she gave her a spare toothbrush and paste to brush her teeth when she was done, Zara began putting an assortment of oils and conditioner in her hair and attempting to brush out the tangles,it took hours before she was done, then he trimmed the frayed end.

Luna hair still fell waist length, going through her drawer, she selected a simple blue gown for Luna, when she deemed her presentable she took her to the kitchen to be fed. "Am so sorry you had to go through whatever you went through, you are safe now and protected and anytime you wish to talk am here to listen". Luna didn't say anything but nodded in acknowledgment.

Am Zara, Marcus sister and acting Luna and you are? Luna knew it would be rude not to reply so she forced the words out, I am Lauretta Olgen, thank you for everything Luna. "You're welcome". Zara replied. Luna felt weird calling her Luna even though it was just a title but it was her name. Thankfully they reached the Kitchen, the cook seemed extremely, happy and fascinated to see Zara and she introduced her to Luna. "This is Lauretta Olgen", she would be staying with us for now and am sure she's starving can you please prepare something for her.

Oh my poor darling Susan tutted looking over Lauretta's gaunt frame. She made her some porridge and toast and some steak, Luna ate as quickly as she could grateful for a warm meal, the heater kept the rooms extremely warm and toasty, Luna was thankful and ate quietly watching the two women chat like old friends, eventually Zara asked Susan to show Lauretta the hostel when she was done eating and of course assign her a chore so she could join in helping out. Luna was grateful, chores was something she was not afraid of.

Marcus saw Zara and Luna branching into the kitchen, to say she was breathtaking was an understatement, the blue dress set off her olive tone, her full pouty red lips looked absolutely stunning, with her midnight black hair well brushed and oiled and fell in waves to her waist, the dress accented her waist perfectly, her large silver eyes appearing almost metallic blue, she was completely oblivious to him, even Zara turned slightly to acknowledge him, Marcus realized with a pang that Lauretta had no wolf, no wonder she was not healing, He wondered the kind of trauma she had undergone to make her lose her wolf spirit, with a slight nod to his sister, she mind linked him informing him that she had gotten the girl settled and she refused to speak more than a few words. Marcus chuckled at that as he strode to his office.
