The last Straw

3101 Words
The next morning I finally got up out of the grass I hadn’t slept at all. My body felt sore and heavy like I’d been running for days.  My eye stung like they had sand in them, they were so dry. I think I cried every drop of water out of my body if that’s possible. As I’m walking my side hurt so I left my dress to see the problem and there was a big blueish purple bruise where the table corner hit me or should say where I hit the table corner.  As I go to my room to change out of my dress that was now stiff and covered in dirt and orange punch. knowing that everyone is most likely sleeping in from last night festivity’s but they’ll still be expecting breakfast and a clean house. so I start on breakfast.  My sister and one of her friends wore at the kitchen island. as I walked by Stephanie said” well beast where have you been all morning, we’re hungry, you have one thing to do and you can’t even do that, pathetic” and with a look of disgust she throws the spatula at me and yells “ well hurry up, we’re hungry”.  As I start cooking and they talk about how much fun they had at the party last night while they wait. I go into the laundry room to put a loud in while the potatoes are cooking, as I’m loading the drying someone kicks me from behind.  It was Zara and behind her stood the rest of her followers, my sister, including. She had a look on her face that I knew all too well, a look that said she wants to have “fun”, but it definitely won’t be fun for me.  I try to ignore her, not having the energy for her after last night but of course, she wouldn’t stop. another kick “ hellloooo dummy, where is breakfast, me and my Alpha are starving we spent the whole night f*****g each others brains out ” she said with a telling smirk, and with her words my heart stung like a fresh wound getting peroxide poured on it.  But still, I ignore her, she continues saying “ your so weak and useless” and as she was talking Shylar walked in. he looked at all of us and angrily asked “ where is my breakfast”   Zara responds to him saying “ well I guess stupid here decide she had better things to do” she said referring to me, he looks at me in anger and I quickly say “ I’m so sorry Alpha it will be done shortly”. and as I looked into his eyes begin to have a flashback of what I went through last night.  Out of nowhere, I felt something being poured on me and quickly realized it was laundry detergent and heard ”Hey did you hear me worthless, listen when your luna is speaking to you. There, at least your stench is covered ” And with that, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I don’t know if it was the stuff I went through last night or begin humiliated in front of Shylar but I did something I’ve never done before “ you, lune. that’s a joke. a lune is a strong, caring mother to the pack, you could never be lune, I’d doubt you’d ever be luna the moon goddess would never let something like you be luna. You’ll never be anything than what you already are a pathetic, ugly b***h, whoring her way to the top to impress the weak-minded people who follow you .” I said and immediately knew it was a bad idea. She got the most crazed look on her face, I guess she can’t take what she dishes out. “ you b***h. what would you know about being a luna? you're a murderous b***h. you have no one, its pathetic that you still stay here knowing no one wants you here, you should have killed yourself instead of your parents. Although, I’m glad you’re here because now that I’m lune, I’m going to have you wishing you were dead”.  I don’t know what came over me, I slapped her and jumped on top of her, but her friends grab me off and as they hold me she gets up and punches me in the face and as I look toward Shylar I see him turn and leave.   After that they each took a turn punching, kicking, and pulling my hair. I was in a ball trying to cover myself from the blows and when my sister comes in to join in the “fun” I try to plead with her to help me.  “please Steph stop, mom wouldn’t want this, PLEASE”, and with that anger, hatred, betrayal and so many emotions passed through her eyes I couldn’t keep up. she came down and set on my chest and put her hands around my neck and began choking me.  She’s choked me before but this was different, she wasn’t letting go. I saw it in her eyes, she wanted to finish it. My throat was being crushed. I tried to scream but that seems to make it easier for her grip to tight even more.  my sight went blurry. I hear cracks coming from my neck, I tried to stop her scratching her hands to loosen her grip but nothing worked and while my mouth was fighting to get air past her grip, Zara came with the rest of the laundry detergent and poured it in my mouth.  With that my sister let go allowing some of the detergents down my throat. as I gage I feel Zara grab a hand full of my hair and whisper in my ear “ die “ and my head smashed into the floor of the laundry room.   Shylar* I was in my office and I was starving. only have eaten some toast since what happened to Kloud this morning. I can’t stop working cause if I do I start to think of it and can’t get the images of her being hurt out of my mind.  I can’t stop thinking of her. I so badly wanted to kill everyone in that laundry room for hurting her. I want her but I can’t get past the crazy part, my father still till this day talks about how he lost his best friend, the only person he trusted with everything to that “monster”.  If I was to ever be with her I would be rejected by my whole pack. my father would disown me. But I can’t get her out of my mind.  Her long, thick black hair, curls mixed with waves, as dark as the night sky with no star insight, and those dreamy deep chocolate brown eyes. Her Carmel skin, her beautiful full lips looked so soft and edible with the most beautiful heart-shaped top lip and her scent, I smelled her before I seen her, the air filled with the smell of roses and clove. The smell made every hair on my body stand up.  But I had to get that out of my head, that’s why when Zara attacked me in the hall I didn’t stop her. I figure I’d try to get over her by moving on and f*****g someone else but even though during the whole thing all I could think of is Kloud.  I had to stop myself from pushing Zara off of me out of disgust. I had to close my eyes to get through it, my wolf Drake was growling at me pissed at me for rejecting our mate and betraying her with Zara.  As I’m pushing the thought out of my mind, trying to force myself back to work I heard the fire alarm going off. I rush out of my office and see pack members rushing around, there was smoke coming from the kitchen.  As we enter we see a big blaze forming on the stove. I hurry and grab the fire extinguisher from under the sink and Strat putting the fire out. a few warriors were there, one grab the second extinguisher and joined me, another opening the widows. After it was out and some of the smoke had left.  I was pissed. We could have lost the whole packhouse. I yell angrily “ what the hell happened, who caused this?”. “It was probably the worthless psycho,” Zara said. as I look around searching for Kloud through the smoke she wasn’t there so I yelled her name “ KLOUD “ she could have killed us all, what the f**k was she thinking.  But I get no response, so I scream for everybody to look for her and they get to it. as I’m sitting at the island trying to figure out what I’m going to do about her. I hear Zara talking with some of the pack members saying “ she’s not happy with killing just her parents, now she’s trying to kill the rest of us, psychotic freak”  and with that, we hear a scream coming from the laundry room.  As I rushed in I was meet by the most soul-crushing sight. Kloud was bruised and bloody laying in a pool of detergent and throw up. I heard a gasp from behind me as I went to her and fell to my knees instantly and wish I could take back everything that happened but knowing I can’t.  it was only an hour ago that I left her in this very room being attacked. And through my regret, I hear Zara laughing. I turn, my heart feeling as if it was being choked and her laughter brung the image of her punching my mate to mind  “ Zara get out and someone get the pack doctor NOW” I screamed.  Zara respond “ let her die, no need to waste time on something so pointless as her” I was pissed “ GET OUT or you will regret it” I growled. She looked at me confused but then she looked into my eye and did what was in her best interest and stormed out.  The pack doctor entered and he immediately went white, his face showing how bad it really looked. he rushed to her and started to examine her, he ordered everyone to get out.  I told him “ I’m staying she’s my mate”. I heard a gasp from some people who hadn’t fully left the room yet, then I heard a loud bang of the door being shoved open. as I look to see who dare, I see jasper standing there in horror he rushes to Kloud's side, crying asking what happened.  all of a sudden I hear a voice behind us and I turn to see Steph and she begins telling Jasper the gruesome story of what happened. how she got smart with Zara, how all of them took turns hitting her and how Kloud mentioned their parents and her choking Kloud, and how Zara poured detergent down her throat.  After Steph explains all three of us look at her in disgust. the doctor continued looking Kloud over. then Jasper angrily yells at Steph saying” how could you do that, you could have killed our sister, OUR SISTER”  after that Steph gets a look  worrier and starts to tear up but quickly brushes those feelings off and yells “ well she deserves it for what she did to our parents”  then the doctor clears his throat saying “let's stop all the yelling, I need to focus so please, quiet” he goes on to explain that she most likely threw up because of the detergent, her body's way of trying to get it out of her.  “ We need to get her to the pack infirmary room so I can get what Ever is left out of her but I’m worried about moving her because I’m not too sure how damaged her neck is” after he explains that jasper again looks at Steph with anger and Steph again gets a look of worry and Steph says softly” I didn’t realize I was choking her that hard”.  I order for some warriors to come and they all gently and carefully move Kloud to the infirmary that was across the training field to the left of the house. when we get there the doc immediately gets to work on her.  telling his assistant to get the x-ray machine ready, get to the pump, and get some fluid for her drip. And while all this is happening Jasper again begins to go off on Steph. screaming and crying “ how could you do this, if anything happens to her I will never forgive you, what would mom and dad think”  then Steph breaks down Saying “ it's her fault they're gone, she's the reason we’re here anyway” then I get annoyed. here I am trying to focus on my mate and there arguing like children,  “ shut the f**k up, my mate is dying and you two are shouting at each other like asshole making the situation worst. I’m this close to beating the s**t out of both of you” I screamed.  They both gasp and say in a surprised tone “ your mate”. and Steph continues saying “ your mate. what do u mean your mate, you can’t be her mate, no one would stand there and watch their mate get beaten like that. and you slept with Zara last night and told her she was luna”.  “ I rejected her at first thinking of what people would think. but I don’t care about anyone else but her, I take it back, and I never said that Zara was to be luna”. I stare at her and continue to say “ I Shyler Prince accepts Kloud bowing as my mate and luna”.  The doctor gets impatient “ HUSH, look, how about all of you go wait outside so I can concentrate. I’ll let you guys know as soon as I figure this out and get her stable”.  “NO, I can’t leave her” I say not wanting to take my eyes off her for even a minute. The doc response by saying “ look if you want me to do my best, I need silence and an empty room. you can wait outside the door if you like but I need this room empty. I’m sorry Alpha but the only thing you’ll do here is get in the way, so please”.  I back out slowly my eye glued on Kloud till the doors cut my view. As we’re in the hall waiting on news from the doc. a pack member runs up to me and says that Zara is in Kloud’s room destroying everything. So I rush to Kloud’s room with a few warriors.  We walk into the garage and I see the little corner that is cut off from the rest of the room by a sheet, I pull the sheet back and there is Zara smashing a lamp that looked as if it had been smash before. as it hit the ground it gave no fight just shattered as if it was barely holding together.  Zara was ripping up some of Kloud’s clothes which were compiled of a pair of jeans I could tell by looking at them they were too big, some sweat pants, and a few shirts that look too worn or too childish to belong to her.  I ran to Zara and yanked her by her arm and begin shaking her “What are you doing. why are you ruining her things” I asked. She looked at me with a hurt expression and says “ She’s your mate? you’re going to choose that nothing over ME. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE LUNA”.  “ I never said that, just because I f****d you doesn’t mean we’re together. It doesn’t mean I was making you Luna, I f****d many others before you, you don’t see them calling themself luna” I said.  “ you’re only doing this out of guilt. you don’t want her, if this never happened we would still be together. I’m going to finish her” and as she walks toward the door I grab her and throw her to the ground  “ don’t you EVER threaten my mate” I growled and then lean down “ now I suggest u forget about that night because that’s all it was, A NIGHT. because if you continue to disrespect your luna and acting this way you will find yourself kicked out of this pack. wondering the world as a rouge, do I make myself clear."  she looks at me angrily and nods so slightly that it almost went undetected. not accepting that especially with the look on her face I Scream “ ANSWER ME” and she responds “ yes, Alpha” and even though her words came out in a tremble I could see the slight sass in her eyes but I still took them.  I had no time to deal with her. all I could do was think about Kloud “ take her to her room so she can calm down” I ordered one of the warriors and after she was gone I told the other warrior to clean the mess, and anything that’s not ruined, take it to my room. then my beta and best friend Marcus walked in and together we walked back to the hospital.  As we were all waiting; Steph, Marcus, jasper, and I. the Doc finally comes out and says “ she’s going to be ok, she has a little poison in her system from the chemical in the detergent. but we pump it out. she’s going to be weak for the next couple of days and due to that, it's going to take a while for all her bruises to go away. as for her neck, its fractured, and her vocal cords are bruised but they should heal just fine as long as she takes it easy and rest”   after he explains he lets us in to see her. Now we’re all there sitting watching her for the past few hours. I just wish I could rewind time.
