The Abused Luna

chapter 10

Aurora POV:

“Oh..So the alpha unknowingly helped you, and made you not to work hard by hiring the event organizing company.

That’s good too. You could use some breathing space, away from all the heavy works now and then”, he said, to which I only nodded my head as I didn’t know what to say for his comment.

“Advance happy Birthday Aurora”, he said, making me to look up at him in lightning speed.

No one.. I mean no one called me by using my name all these years. They would usually call me using mean names like, slut, w***e, cursed thing and many more.

Even I forgot the feeling of being called using my real and full name. I was so grateful for him.

As he was the first one to tell me birthday wishes aside from aunt Tara, let alone advance birthday wishes, in all these years and also he was the first one, to use my full name to call me after a long time.

I even forgot the way my name sounded, since no one used that to call me since a long time ago.

My eyes watered quickly in gratefulness for him.

“Thank you”, I said earnestly to him.

“You don’t have to thank me for wishing you for your birthday”, he said and his hands, that he still used to hold my one arm, gently drew circles in a soothing manner, when he saw my tear filled eyes.

“I thanked you, Not for that”, I said lowly as I was afraid that I would cry and my voice would betray me.

“Then….For what did you thank me for then?”, he asked me in a confused tone and looked at me intently.

“For calling me, by using my full name. It has been a long time, since anyone used that to call me. I even forgot how my name sounded”, I said and looked at him straight in the eyes, to show him the sincerity in my voice.

Something flickered in his eyes and soon it disappeared as soon as it came. But I was so sure that I saw an unknown emotion cross his eyes.

His facial expression softened even more when he heard my reply.

“For yesterday…for the foods you gave me in a sneaky way, without others knowing all these years. You may not know this, but your kind gesture of giving foods to me, all these years, those single piece of chocolate bars saved me from dying in hunger and if not for you and your mom, aunt Tara, I would have died a long time ago.

Without you two, I won’t be here waiting to see my 18th birthday”, I said all the things, I wanted to say to him, all these years.

“I have always wanted to thank you before. But I was too afraid and didn’t had the guts to do that.

I had always wanted to say all these things I said now, to you long before.

So, thank you for everything”, I said all the things I wanted to say to him till now, looking straight in his eyes, the whole time.

“I didn’t knew before, that you could speak this much.

So thank you for giving me this rare chance to hear you speak without any fear in your voice.

You have a nice voice by the way”, he said trying to change my depressed mode and gave me a small smile.

“And the reason, I stopped you just now, was to give you this mainly.

I didn’t see you in the pack house from the morning. So I thought you might have hid somewhere and definitely missed your meals.

So here. Eat this. It’s for you”, he said and stuffed two expensive looking big chocolate bars in my hand.

“Thank you again”, I said to him and looked at the chocolate bars in my hand.

He might have brought this especially for me. As he didn’t look like the one, who would eat this chocolate, which was too sweet for his liking.

He doesn’t like to eat more sweet added foods, from my memory.

As I cook all the meals for everyone, all these years in the pack house, I literally knew everyone’s likes and dislikes about their food preferences.

The nutrition chocolate bar he always likes to eat is made of pure dark chocolate, it had more bitterness to it than the sweetness of the chocolate.

I looked at him one last time and gave him, one of my rare smiles.

He nodded and patted my head like one would do to a child and turned around and went around the corner and out of my sight.

When I saw that Fredrick was gone, I quickly went upstairs to my attic.

Grabbing a towel and change of clothes, I came down and sneaked into one of the common bathroom, the lower level omegas use and began washing myself.

I washed my long hair with the shampoo I saw in the shelf and I did so quickly.

I didn’t want to be discovered by anyone now and wanted to be punished for using the common bathroom now. Yes, I got punished for that too.

After washing and scrubbing myself clean, I felt refreshed. Soon changing the spare clothes, I ran to my attic, where no one would bother to come by this time.

Time passed by soon and the party began to start. I could tell that from here, as the blaring music was heard and cheers and laughing sounds were heard from the back yard.

I began to get ready in the new dress aunt Tara had got for me.

I changed in to the dress and caressed the material of the dress. It was so soft against my fingers and the dress fit me perfectly like a second skin, like it was especially tailor made for me.

I took a few strands of the hairs from both sides near my ears and pinned them back, in the center of my head and left the remaining hairs to flow freely which came down to my mid back.

I took the chain, aunt Tara gave as my birthday present, very carefully out of its box and wore it.

I looked down to see the pendant resting just below my collar bone. I touched it and smiled thinking about my mom.

I spent a little more time in my room and decided to go down when it was around thirty minutes left to my birthday.

I came down the hallway, which was surprisingly empty as everyone was enjoying the party in the backyard.

When I went towards the door leading to the back yard, the staffs from the event organizing company was rushing with foods and drinks to refill back in the party.

When I was roaming in the party, I looked at the stage made up in the center of the backyard. It was a make shift stage made especially for dancing.

There, in the middle of it, Andrea and Chance were dancing to a slow music.

When I saw them together, something inside me stirred and made me uncomfortable.

I don’t know what this feeling meant. But seeing them both together, with chance having his arms around her waist and Andrea having her arms around his neck, and both standing too close for my liking, made me suffocating.

and I stood under the shade of a tree away from the prying eyes and looked at them.

All of a sudden, chance looked sharply in my direction, as if he saw I was standing there, even though I hid in the shadows of the tree.

Then he smirked in my direction, as if he found out that I was hiding here. His eyes sharply looked directly at my eyes.

His eyes somehow made my breath to labor hard and the suffocating feeling came back.

As if sensing my eyes, he leaned down and kissed Andrea’s neck area, where his mate mark would be present in the future.

I felt really uncomfortable looking at them being together. Even if chance was my crush years ago, I shouldn’t feel like this.

And his behavior and the way he treated me all these years are enough for me to not feel something for him.

Then why the hell I was feeling depressed at the sight of him with other girl, more particularly with my elder sister Andrea.

Even though she hated and treated me bad all these years, I still felt a little affection for her.

As I still thought of her as my elder sister.

So she being with her mate, I should be happy. Yes, that’s what I should feel, thinking this, I looked away from the main celebratory couple and looked around.

Everyone was enjoying the most in the party. Why not. Their dear alpha put up, the best event organizing company on doing the party for his beloved daughter’s engagement party.

The foods and drinks were endless. All sorts of food items were placed on the tables that were put at the side near the entrance of the back yard.

The total area in the back yard was fully decorated with bright lights. Even the trees had small fairy lights hanging from them.

All in all every little things looked bright and beautiful.
