From Slave to Luna

Chapter 7

Zayn Jr., POV

I woke up today and I felt like I was on top of the world, and I didn’t know why. I was learning more and more of how to be a great alpha. I took a hot shower and m*********d while I was inside. I needed to have a good day and it would have to start great to end great. I was hopeful that I would meet my mate on my 16th birthday, but when I didn’t I knew it couldn’t have been anyone in my pack, and that I was grateful for. I wanted someone different, to match me, match my goals, support me, love me, loyal, truthful, trustworthy and honest. I had met almost everyone in my pack and I knew I didn’t want any of these girls to be my mate.

I believed in the mate bond so much so that I’m waiting for my mate for everything special. Unlike my twin brother once he didn’t meet his mate at 16 he was so eager to get his rocks off he didn’t care who it was with. Now he is screwing another omega, and that’s why we have to replace so many of them. Maybe the new girl will work out and not fall for his charms.

I got out of the showered dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. As soon as I hit the bottom of the stairs the scent of lavender and after the rain smell hit my nose. It smelled so amazing that I had to follow it to see where it was coming from. It was coming from the kitchen and as soon as I entered I saw the back of her, but I knew and my wolf Logan knew exactly who she was. I quickly made my way to her and spun her around to face me spitting the words “mate” out. She quickly took her eyes off me and I didn’t like it. She was my mate she should be happy to look at me. Was she not happy that I was her mate? Did she know who I was? My hands roamed her body enjoying the amazing sensations that erupted throughout my entire body. I lifted her chin up so that she was looking at me, and my whole world shattered. She was so scared that I didn’t want to continue, and I departed after our encounter. Why did she look at me like that?! Did I do something wrong?

I have waited for my mate my whole life, and rejection scared the s**t out of me.

I want what my parents have that unconditional love, the happiness, the loyalty, the honesty, the trust, the family. My brother was different from me in that very aspect. I don’t think he would care if he met his mate, he would still try to bed of lot of women, and I felt for my brother and whoever his mate was.

She entered the dining room with a water pail and I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. I tried so hard not to look her way, but I failed and the fact that she had not looked at me since she came inside befuddled me.

All of sudden we hear a loud metal hit the ground and someone say

“Oh no Veronica” as she fainted

I rose out of my chair immediately to make sure she was okay.

“Jemma go grab a cold washcloth” Grace said as she took her place

I wanted to do something but I didn’t want to be so obvious.

They applied the cold compress to her head as one of the omega men lifted her up in his arms and carried her away. I wanted to object so badly and be the one to carry her to her room, but I didn’t want anyone to suspect anything. I sat back down and I couldn’t get her off my mind.

I wanted to see her to make sure she was okay. I had one of the omega’s pack my breakfast up, and grabbed some coffee while leaving the table.

“Son, where are you going” my father asked

“I got some important things to do today and I can’t be late. I may see you for lunch and if not you know I’ll definitely be here for dinner” I lied and said

I departed and made my way to the 5th floor. I wouldn’t have known this to be the omega floor, but Zion couldn’t stop sneaking his way to this floor. I waited until Grace left the room with her before I went in.

She wasn’t awake yet, so I decided to wait until she woke up I needed some answers.

Veronica POV

I woke up in my room after I passed out. I didn’t know what happened to me I just know I couldn’t deal with being sold again, and being violated in front of everyone. The scent of nature and leather hit my nose, and I never smelled anything like it. It smelled wonderful and I wondered where it was coming from. I looked around my room and there he was sitting in a chair on the side of my bed.

I took my gaze off him and he sat up in the chair.

“Will you please look at me” the man said hurt

I slowly lifted my gaze to look at him and my breath got stuck in my throat at the sight of him. He was so handsome with tan skin, the perfect chiseled jawline, black long hair, with blue eyes.

I didn’t know what to expect from him, whatever was going to happen I hope it was quick.

“Do you not want me as your mate” he said

I didn’t know what he was talking about, but if he wanted me as his personal slave who was I to deny him.

“I’m sorry I mean no disrespect sir, you can have your way with me any way you like” I said to him not looking his way

“Is that what you think I want? To have my way with you. Did you not feel what I felt?! You know I’m your mate I heard you say the words before I did” he said

“Sir, I don’t understand the meaning” I said but he cut me off

“Please, stop calling me sir” he said

It was quiet for about five minutes.

“Are you hungry?” He asked

I didn’t know what to say to that no one has ever asked me that before.

“I can eat when it’s my time with the others” I said not wanting any special treatment.

“That’s not what I asked you” he said

“No” I said but my stomach growled so loudly giving me away.

He got up and left the room after I told him a lie. I was okay with that because I didn’t want anyone looking at me different for receiving special treatment from anyone.

Grace told me to rest for the remainder of the day and come back strong tomorrow.

“You know what a mate is” Valerie asked me

“No, what is it” I said

“A mate is your other half, they complete you, and we are connected with each other through our wolves. That’s how we know who our mate is” she said

Before I responded the guy from earlier came back in with a container and a mug. He sat what he brought in on the nightstand before closing the door.

“I brought something to eat and some coffee for you” he said sitting down

I didn’t know how to respond to his gestures, but I knew not to be rude.

“Thank you” I said

He just looked at me, and I couldn’t return the look to afraid of what would happen if I did.

“Don’t reject me please” he said sincerely.
