What do I do with her?

*ROSA*
I woke up to Indila's gentle hands, massaging my legs, with an herbal ointment. My wolf had healed the cuts but not all of them, some were still open and recuperating slowly.
India's herb quicked its healing pace. My back was numb from the pain but Indila's herbs helped my body heal fine, while my heart bled continuously.
Damon's cruel words and actions had left me in a dilemma. He almost killed me, all for what? A mere confrontation.
I might have gone far for hitting him forgetting how evil he was tagged, I should have been more careful but I couldn't help it, Belle's revelation was too much for me to handle.
"Luna Rosa!" Indila's calm yet worried tone brought me back to my reality.
"Hmm?"
"I am done. How are you fairing?" She placed her hand on my hair caressing it. It soothed my troubled soul and reminded me of my late mother.
"Not dead yet," I replied dryly.
Indila was fully aware of what my reply meant.
"Please Luna Rosa it would be best if you stopped instigating Alpha Damon. I have known him for as long as time, and he's not one to tamper with, especially after the tragic incident that scarred his life." Indila went in a daze as she uttered those words, her eyes watered and softened to her supposed memory.
"Indila!" I placed my hand on hers, snapping her back to reality.
"Please forgive me, Luna Rosa, I got lost in the past. As I was saying, try your best to avoid Alpha Damon's ruthless side, as long as you remain obedient he will cherish you. That's a promise." Indila said, her voice shaking like she wanted to add something else.
"Why? I am guessing the past Lunas were very obedient."
Indila smiled warmly."Yes, they were, sadly they couldn't bear Alpha Damon a child, so he sent them back to their respective homes. I wish he never did." Indila muttered the last part in a low voice, but I heard it.
"Tell me, I promise not to cause a ruckus. What happened?"
Indila shook her head negatively." No Luna Rosa, I can't tell you what happened to the Lunas, we are not allowed to say, when the time is right Alpha Damon will share everything with you." I groaned at Indila's response.
She got up ready to leave but I held her back," Please! Please tell me anything at all, don't leave me in dark indila. Please."
Indila sighs contemplating her answer, she sighs accepting defeat. " There's little I can share, Luna Rosa, and that is the only woman having a place in Alpha Damon's heart, his mistress."
"...."
"Amelia Rodriguez."
"The pesky lady from my introduction right?"
"Yes Luna Rosa, but she's more than pesky if you ask me, she's a terrible young woman, rude, characterless, selfish, and cruel to everyone."
"Why is she here? And as Damon's mistress.?”
"You see Luna Rosa, after the departure of the last Luna. The Alpha of the silver moon pack brought forth his daughter to be made Luna, he had claimed Amelia was both pure and fertile, turns out she was as dirty as a w***e, the people had refused for Amelia to be made Luna and Damon agreed. He offered to send her home but she refused begging to be his mistress, she didn't want to go through the shame of rejection."
"Damon was left with no choice but to keep Amelia by his side. Two years passed and all of Amelia's efforts to get pregnant proved futile, so Alpha Damon came in search of you."
"Oh!" I replied in a sad voice.
"How then is she close to his heart?" I found myself asking.
"Well Amelia had risked her life to save Alpha Damon from a weird attack two years earlier, Alpha Damon had encountered bandits on his regular pack visit, Amelia had chosen to tag along with him and then the incident happened, she took an arrow shot for Alpha Damon and since that very day she had earned quite the respect and attention from Alpha Damon. And I guess you can say our Alpha trusts Amelia with his life"
"Oh really?!" I replied not believing, that woman would be so generous to do that and she did not seem like it to me.
Indila grabbed my hands and squeezed them softly. " Luna Rosa, promise me you will stop getting on Alpha Damon's bad side, I don't want you to end up like his victims, stay clear of his ruthless side and try to stay as obedient as you can, please."
"I will try my best Indila and thanks for your soothing words."
Indila pecked my forehead and smiled in satisfaction. " It's time to rest for your healing process to work faster, I will send in Faith to help with your bath and meals, and then you can rest until launch time."
"Are you sure I won't die of too much rest?" I joked, Indila broke into a cute laugh shaking her head in disbelief.
"Oh! Urm… Alpha Damon will be visiting tonight, he has an announcement to make."
"Announcement?"
"Have a good rest dear, I will see you later." Indila hurried avoiding my question and that worried me.
****************
I sat alone in my room having lunch, time had passed and I had taken the required rest Indila suggested. My thoughts wandered to last night, biting tiny portions of my food, I dreaded every breath I took.
Stuck in this cursed pack with a crazy Alpha, I refused to settle and become Damon's puppet. I hated the fact that I was his mate and by the will of the moon Goddess, belonged to him. Accepting Damon as my mate and Lord would be the biggest defeat of my life.
Uncle Jerome and Aunt Sarah had already snatched my inheritance and life from me, treated me like a less privileged and then sold me off without a care in this world. Now I was to be mated with a world-known monster and bear him children till I eventually died of depression.
Never.
I, Rosaline Adelaide wasn't going to give up that easily, if I could get my hands on every information regarding the pack, I would make my big escape plan and never return to this place again.
But how? Everyone in this pack has their mouth sealed with either loyalty or authority. Only two people who could tell me all I needed to know were; Faith and Belle.
Belle didn't work in the pack house but Faith did, and if I needed to morph a good plan I needed both of them.
A gentle knock on the door grasped my attention, I placed my stale food down and acknowledged whoever it was.
"Come in."
A familiar figure whom I had hated from the very first day walked in, wearing a sly smile.
"Greetings Luna Rosaline, so nice to meet you again." Damon's foolish mistress faked a bow and scoffed, still having an annoying grin on her ugly face.
"Are you here to mock me, it's always expected of foolish people to walk through that door and try to mock me." Amelia was taken aback by my response but faked a smile to cover it up.
"Calm down Luna Rosaline, you don't want Damon coming in to smack some sense into you again. Now do you?"
"What do you want? As you see I am recovering and I need my peace, so leave. I don't want to feast on your monkey-like face."
"Hey…"
"You DARE speak to you LUNA in that manner," I growled louder than I expected and she backed up surprised.
"Apologies Luna Rosaline, please do take your time to recover, while I keep the Alpha's bed warm for you. " She shamelessly admitted her role and made her way out of my room, swaying her stupid hips.
My blood boiled staring at her disappearing silhouette. A rude grown woman who has nothing to do with her life other than warm a man's bed.
I scoffed, my stomach churning in disgust, the thought of Damon lying with another woman drove me nuts, but I didn't care, only my wolf did, Damon's not worth my time. I am on my own now and I have to get out of here soon.
The day went by in a flash, I had never been so exhausted from having to rest all day, it was annoying but I couldn't complain.
Finally, the sun sank beneath the earth and I got changed and ready for bed. I wore a flimsy underdress, quite comfortable for me to have the sleep of my life.
As earlier said Damon came to see me, barging into my room like a thief. Seeing him brought back the horrible memory of the other night, the pain associated with hitting my back on the hard wall and falling into a pile of broken vases.
My fear returned and I dreaded every second with him in my room.
Damon took a wooden chair and sat down staring at me" Are you healed?" He asked out of the blue and I wondered why he asked that. Was he trying to know how I was fairing, then why did he ask if I was healed?
"Yes." I simply replied avoiding anything that would lead my back to the hard wall. I might be traumatized already.
"Good."
Silence descended, he didn't utter another word, and neither did I. I had nothing to say and my words mattered not to the man sitting right next to me.
"Indila must have informed you about my arrival…" Damon said after a while.
"Yes."
"I have something important to discuss with you and I need your full cooperation on that, am I clear?"
"Yes."
"It's good that you do truly feel better. I would need you to be healthy for the ceremony in four days."
I glanced at Damon, his expression remaining stoic. I couldn't tell what was on his mind, still I could feel the tension building in my chest.
"What ce…ceremony?" I stuttered fiddling with my fingers.
"OUR WEDDING CEREMONY."
"What?" A short sight left my throat.
