The Royal Assassins (book 2*)

The blood moon pack: self defense

Lucy POV

We have learned Charlotte some self defense but I pray to the moon goddess she won't ever need, we need to work faster to end this, to help them all so they are not suffering any more.

I've got serious doubts about this so called Alpha, he doesn't carry himself like an Alpha and he's always surrounding himself with his men. He gives a weak aura off like he would be an omega or maybe a warrior at a push but either way his rein of torture and terror is coming to an end.

We are on night shift with Charlotte tonight and we have planned that there will always be one of us with her, it should deter any creep from coming after her but if not he will die.

We meet up with Charlotte and she is vwry nervous but we reassure her we will help and we get on with our jobs.

Clean kitchen

Clean dining room

Sweep and mop all downstairs

Polish all downstairs

Empty bins

Hoover stairs and landings

Clean communal bathrooms

Do laundry

We get cracking straight away to power through them, we have from 8pm to 5am to get everything done otherwise they omegas get punished.

It's now 1am and downstairs jobs are done we are now hoovering the stairs and hallways on all floors working in pairs to get done and to be safe.

I'm working with Charlotte, she such a great girl, she has been telling me about all the pups and how she wants to be a teacher learning them all different fun things.

She used to love music, singing and dancing and reading. She misses how the pack used to be and her Luna and Alpha. She wishes they will get another great Alpha and Luna soon so all their pack can be reunited as one again.

She is a really caring and compassionate girl, always helping out where she can especially with the pups.

Charlotte has gone to clean the bathroom on this floor while I hoover the carpet on this landing, I wasn't sure about her not being in my line of sight but she was worried that we wouldn't be finished in time and she didn't want to get any punishments from the Alpha, she explained that other omegas have been punished, taken to the middle of the pack tide to a pole and whipped before being taken to the dungeons that is off in the woods and she doesn't want to be whipped bless her, she is afraid so I ran through the self defense lesson and she went off to clean the bathroom.

I'm cleaning as fast as I can so I can go help Charlotte, I get a sicky feeling not having my eyes on her but she was adamant to get finished sooner and I can see the bathroom door from here, I told her to keep the door open so I know she is ok and I keep looking at the door to make sure she is still ok while I work.

The pack house is really beautiful, the former Luna had great taste. It feels so warm and inviting and was decorated with love.

It's ashame that the current Alpha has filled this beautiful house with pain and suffering making it feel cold.

I'm almost done my job and glance at the door and notice it's closed, making my heart drop.

I rush to the bathroom and turn the knob opening the door and what I see shocks me, wow.. there stood in the middle of the tiled floor was Charlottewith a few cuts bleeding and looks scared to death and laying on the floor is a man who is starting to stir.. I grab Charlotte hand and pull her out of there.

As we get out the door I've mindlinked my girls and they are on their way. We move downstairs to the meet them and clean up charlotte.

As I'm cleaning the cut on her forehead and lip she looks dazed "Charlotte hunny, are you ok I'm so sorry I didn't see anyone come into you you" I say and I feel like s**t not protecting her like I said, how could I have been so stupid.

She looks at me and smiles, actually smiles making me nervous, she must be in shock. "Charlotte it's ok how are you feeling" I ask looking in her eyes but she keeps smiling "He grabbed me from behind and at first I panicked but I did what you all said and took him by surprise, he hit me a few times but I fought harder and we ended up on the floor where he hit his head on the toilet on our way down" she said but still smiling "how are you feeling" I ask again as I'm worried "I'm feeling great actually, I fought for myself for the first time and it helped, my body was not his to take, I'm saving myself for my mate so thankyou so much" and now she is crying and hugging me "shh it's ok you did great, I'm so proud of you" I tell her stroking her back soothingly "are you both ok" Cindy asks as she come in hugging us both along with Vicki.

"Yeah we are good Charlotte has a few cuts but she kicked ass, I walked in and she was stood over the unconscious peice of s**t" I explain and we laugh.

We come out the room and there's stood the Alpha and the scumbag. "What did you do" Alpha said fuming but non of us spoke we bared our neck in fake respect keeping quiet "ANSWER ME NOW" he shouted "Alpha this man attacked a child trying to assault her" Cindy said disgusted "my men have a lot of freedom in this pack so why did YOU interfere" he asked angrier "they didn't Alpha.. I fought for my life and my body...he was laid on the bathroom floor when Lucy came in" Charlotte explained and the scumbag is fuming "you did that on your own, a little thing like you did that" Alpha said amused but still mad that his man didn't get what he wanted, Charlotte nodded but still kept her eyes on the floor "well because you went against my man instead of doing as he said you will be taken to the dungeons and have 10 whips" the Alpha said and Charlotte paled with tears streaming down her face.

"Excuse me Alpha but he should be whipped for being a disgusting dog preying on children" Cindy said and she was fuming "my men are free to do as they please, I'm the Alpha here and all will listen to my word and do as told" he was not happy about being questioned "I don't agree with this judgement she is a child, if there will be a punishment then I'll take it" Cindy said taking us all by surprise, what the hell is she doing...

"I accept punishment for Charlotte she is a child and you being an understanding and merciful Alpha I'm sure you will understand and agree" Cindy said buttering up the Alpha not giving him a choice in agreeing without him making himself known as a cruel Alpha to his guests. "Fine so be it but remember this is your choice" she nods at his words and was told to be out front of the pack house first thing tomorrow and then he dismissed us still fuming at the way his plans got ruined and then he stormed off.

"What the hell Cindy, what was that" Vicki asks full of worry but Cindy wraps her arms around a crying Charlotte "i..I'm so sorry.." Charlotte sobs out but Cindy tells her it's fine and not to worry that everything will work out.

We walk Charlotte back to the omegas section and explain everything to Margaret who takes Charlotte in and said she would look after her.

'Right start talking missy' Vicki said through our link looking at Cindy 'there is no way I'm letting her get whipped to please the peice of s**t that tried to abuse her, but we will contact Luna Adira before it come to the whipping, it's time to make our move' She explained and I like this plan and we all agree.

We make it back to our room and Vicki goes to get her phone she has hidden while we worked the night shift but she comes back empty handed "it's not there" she says looking panicked...
