The Luna Game

Chapter 6

Mellisa’s POV

“What?” I murmured, what did I just hear? I looked around for any of the girls to tell me if I heard wrong.

Ava, came beside me to hold my hand as if consoling me. I didn’t understand what was going on.

“What did I do?” I asked her as she held me still.

“Melissa Bennett?” The second in command called again, maybe expecting me to come out of the crowd. I looked at my stranger, he was looking straight at me without shame. He was looking at me with no remorse.

“Yes? I made my way out between the girls standing in front of me, making me remove Ava’s hand as I do so.

“You have violated the rules of the pack and you will not be allowed to continue,” she said.

Is this not what I have always wanted? I thought to myself, but why does it bother me so much? Why am I angry?

“You have not told me what I did,” I asked, if I would be sent away, I should at least know what it was for.

“You will remain in the competition only if. . . “ she started to talk and in all honesty, I held onto the if as if my life depended on it.

“. . . If you pass the first challenge” she finished and murmurs followed through, it’s either the girls were feeling bad for me or they are just unhappy that I was given a second Chance.

But a second Chance for what? I have not done anything wrong.

“You still have not told me what I did wrong, Beta. I should at least know, shouldn’t I?” I asked, determined for her to tell me this was a plain mistake.

“Yesterday night. . . ” she started, “. . . You were seen before the pack walls, where you should not have gone to so late a night, having a sexy time with a man who is not the Alpha supreme” Everyone echoed a shout at her announcement and I could literally see the dirty looks that were being thrown at me.

I looked at the stranger, he was not moved. He didn't even act as if he was the man in the discussion.

But how would I know? They only sound alike, I don't know anything about how my stranger looks.

Why am I not feeling free? She just gave me what I want in a smooth way, why am I not grabbing it?

Why is she giving me another chance when she said I have done something to be disqualified for? I have so many questions. Who am I supposed to talk to?

The stranger! I have to ask him to tell the Beta that I didn't just go about kissing a stranger. Yes, I almost went beyond the pack wall but I didn't. That should not be strong enough to dismiss me. Especially the person I shared the sinful kiss with is right here in the room with me and not saying anything. Does he perhaps think I would not recognize him?

“I have something to say” I chirped before she continued her announcement as if she had not just ridiculed me in front of everyone present.

Just then I heard one of the girls call me bvtch!

“Who said that?” My stranger spoke for the first time after my disqualification announcement. His voice was very chill and reserved as if he commanded a whole army but was still very rational

No one said anything, maybe for fear of being added together with the culprit. No murmurs, no side talk, no nothing. The room was completely silent for the first time I and Ava entered the room.

“Did you not hear him? Who made the comment?” The Beta snarled making the room shake, including me. I don't know her name yet but I will find out soon enough. I wonder why she is not introducing herself to all of us in the first place.

I quickly ignored the situation and looked at the sexy stranger, Did my stranger just defend me? I wanted to hold on to that but seeing the way he has been acting so unfamiliar with me and the way he was looking at me now, I’d rather not. First I need to meet him when this meeting is over, he has to come clean about who started it, instead of putting me in trouble.

“Come out here” I heard the beta command as she cut through my thoughts.

A girl came out, I think her name was Saly, she came out looking quite guilty, but I know that Is not because of what she said but because she had been caught.

I know her, she had made a lot of nasty comments about me this past week, I know for a fact that she does not like me but it's the reason I have no idea about, I have not met her before in my entire life. The reason for the hostility is what I cannot explain.

The situation was off me for a minute as the girl made her way out to stay in front of the Beta and the stranger. Why was he even there? Is he some type of an important guard or warrior? Why is he present here like some high chief?

“Saly Anderson, you have violated the rules. Did you forget the part where it says you shall not use foul languages in from of the host no matter how small?” The host said, but that's not fair, The alpha supreme is nowhere around. That is hardly an offense even if it was at me. We should call a spade a spade, not something else.

“I apologize, Beta. I got carried away” she pleaded, of course, it was not from her mind.

“You are also on probation, and the first quest will determine your stay in the competition” she announced as she took her eyes from Saly to me.

“Go back to your position” she directed but I was more interested to know who had told her and what had happened from that night till now. And who the heck is this stranger?

“Thank you, Beta” I heard Saly say, but I was still there glued to the ground, I boldly stared at the stranger, daring him.

But instead of him taking up my challenge, he replied “Miss Melissa? Please go back to your position” gesturing towards the rest of the girls. After hearing that, the boldness I had in my body melted away.

The boldness was immediately exchanged with anger, how could he treat me this way? I need to find a way to talk to him.

Throughout the whole talk of giving us rules again, telling us tools we would need for the first quest, she revealed it would be an intellectual quest, we won't be using our body but our intelligence. Not one single girl made an annoying sound, no one even tried to question what she was saying. They have been compelled to shut up.

I moved back to where I was standing and Ava would not stop asking me questions, questions I'd rather choose not to answer.

“I will explain to you later, Ava. You just need to be patient and not distract me” I said to her, I didn't wait to check what the impact of my words would be on her and thank goodness, she was not in a way annoyed about the way I talked. I wanted to concentrate on the stranger, I want to know when he leaves the room so I can follow him and demand my answer. Now I know for sure that he is the same man I met under the beautiful moon yesterday night. The one I had shared the most captivating kiss with.

When the Beta was done giving us a series of instructions again, many of which I could not listen to, I saw him going out of the room so I followed him, making sure Ava was not following me.

I have advised her to wait and that I will tell her about it, but if she followed me she would not hear about the story she was longing for, that did it. She didn't follow me.

I almost missed him, he was walking too fast, I started to run after him but it seems I was just not doing enough.

So when I caught up with him, I didn't hesitate to stage him towards me, I didn't want to lose him again, I didn't want to have to run after him again.

“Wait!” I said, trying to keep my hard breathing in check.

He waited, looked at my hand on his clothes as if a contaminated bee had perched on it, he pull my hand off his clothes, and began walking again, without saying anything.

So when I caught him the last time, I dragged his shirt too hard until I heard a tearing sound.

“Oh my goodness! My apologies! What did I just do? I am so sorry” I began to plead but my hand was still on his clothes, I don't know for what, Maybe because I wish the torn clothing didn't happen or maybe I just didn't want him to use the torn clothing as an excuse to run off again.

“WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO TOUCH THE ALPHA SUPREME’S CLOTHING? BUT NOW YOU TEAR IT? I DO NOT THINK YOU LIKE THAT YOUR HEAD IS STILL ON YOUR NECK!!!” The Beta came up to us and dragged my hand away from my stranger’s torn clothing.

My feet vibrated to the floor! My mouth gasped open! My stranger is the alpha supreme?
