From Slave to Luna

Chapter 12

Veronica POV

I was cleaning up when all of a sudden a guy that is the splitting image of Zayn, but with short black hair appeared before me calling me his mate. I didn’t know much about mates, wolves, packs, titles nothing. I just knew that I didn’t want any male company today. I know that Zayn is trying his best to get me to open up, but I’m scared of getting tricked again. I went to find Jemma to see if she needed help with anything, but when I went into the kitchen she was getting hot and heavy with someone.

“Oh sorry, Jemma I came to see if you needed help with anything” I said as I quickly turned around not looking at them in the act

“Yes” she said as the guy quickly left

“Sorry about that would you like to come and help me with the dishes” she said

“Yes” I said glad to help

“We are having guests over tonight so everything has to be in its place” she said

I got nervous when she said guests were coming over because the last time I heard that I was sold and violated right at the table.

“Are you serving tonight” I asked

“Yeah, and I think you are as well” she said

“What, why I don’t want to serve tonight. Do I have to” I pleaded with Jemma

“Yea, you do I’m sorry we all have a rotation on chores. Did you not look at your schedule?she said

I felt truly defeated in this moment, and was unsure what else to do.

I contemplated on running away, to see how far I could get, and where I could go. I didn’t say another word as I helped Jemma with the kitchen. It’s good that she was a talker and she liked to hear herself speak. Two hours later and we were finished with the kitchen for the chefs to start dinner.

“Okay, now we go clean up before dinner” she said

I went to my room went in the closet closed the door, and sat down in the darkness. I needed a moment to myself. I don’t know how long I sat there with my head on my knees. I heard someone come inside and call my name. It was Jemma; I must have been late and I was afraid of the consequences.

I immediately got up and came out of the closet.

“Hey, Jemma I was looking for something to wear” I said as I came out

“Hurry up, we have to be downstairs in fifteen minutes” she said

“I’ll be ready in five minutes” I said

I grabbed my things and ran to the shower. I knew how to get ready quick, it was a skill I learned over the years. Except the one time I was late for breakfast duty, but if the well wasn’t across the fields I’d been there sooner.

I was done washing and rinsing my body in three minutes. I brushed my teeth and put my clothes on in the shower room. Two minutes later and I was walking in my room taking the last of my braids out.

“Damn, you wasn’t lying. I love those curls from that braid out. Here let’s put a little makeup on you some gloss on the lips, and a little mascara to make your eyes pop” she said

She turned me around to look in the mirror at myself, and I barely recognized the person she was showing me.

“Yes, you look amazing, now let’s go before we are late” she said pushing me out the door.

We made it just in time as we lined up with the others awaiting our serving duties. I was on water duty, and to take empty dishes off the table. We set the table with the place settings and lined up against the wall. The family started to arrive one by one, and the guests came soon after. This is my first time seeing both of the brothers together and they indeed were twins. Neither one of them took their eyes off me as they sat down to dinner.

A couple of the guests seemed familiar like I’ve seen then before. We served them their drinks and the food came out soon after.

“It’s a shame Zayn, that you don’t let these pretty women out to play” one to the guest said referring to us.

“There are women here that you could pay to have a good time, and there are also women here who wouldn’t mind giving it up to you two lovely men. It’s all about what you want” the alpha said

“Damn shame because I see someone I wouldn’t mind having my way with” he said looking at me

I knew he seemed familiar, he used to come around the big house befriending women. Once they got comfortable with him he then would take advantage of them. I had to leave immediately before I passed out.

Jemma came behind me right after I left.

“Hey, we can’t leave the line” she said

I just needed a moment to regroup. We entered the dining room to a very heated discussion between the twins and the man.

“Alright, I guess you must have had a sample already for the reaction” he said

“What” Zayn Jr., stood up and said

“Zayn Jr., leave the table now” alpha ordered him

Zion left right with him.

“Wow, that was fun” the man said winking at me

All of a sudden I didn’t feel so good, but I couldn’t leave my duties.

Grace came in and whispered in my ear that I am relieved of my duties for the night.

I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I went straight to the bathroom I felt like I was going to vomit. Luckily, nothing came up so I put cold water to my face to cool myself off.

After my bathroom trip I headed to my room where I was met with both of the twins.
