TRUTH

OCTAVIA POV
I sit frozen, confused in the mist of uncertainty.
Unsure of what is wrong or right, what is true or false.
Everything I have known is a lie.
A scheme concocted by the woman I call my mother in law.
" Muse you can tell me anything. Did mom tell you anything?" He repeats as a worried frown creeps its way to his face.
" Yes. She told me a lot actually. She...... she ......" I say moistening my lips with my tongue, as I try to find the right words to describe the situation of things to him without creating a rift between mother and son
" She what?. Muse feel free. You know you can tell me anything" He assures me while caressing my hands.
His face carries an expression that supports his claims of oblivion, yet accompanies a concerned, caring husband.
" Your mom blackma..........." I start explaining before mom Lola cut in from no where.
" Alpha, we have a problem. You have to hurry to the meeting room, your betas are here to see you" She says as though it's an emergency.
" I will be there in a bit mom" Eren informs nonchalantly, while still fixated on me.
" Son, I said it was an emergency" She insist with a worried expression on her face
" I heard you. Let them wait. I am talking to my wife" He says authoritatively.
His words just makes me feel so secure and glad that I can't help but blush.
" Eren this behavior highly is irresponsible" She says bitter.
" I don't care mother" He says nonchalantly
" Octavia please talk to him. Lives could be lost" She beseeches me with a worried expression to match her concerned tone, and I am forced to oblige.
" Babe, please go with her" I beseech him
" But you had something to say" He reminds with a frown
" We will talk later babe. Now you have to handle alpha issues" I insist forcing a smile to my face so as to push him into fulfilling his responsibilities.
" You sure muse?" He doubts
" Yes, I'm sure" I assure him with a small smile
" Just keep eating. I will be back in a giffy, ok" He informs before kissing me and walking out.
To my surprise mom doesn't follow suit, instead she stays put.
Her presence alone irritates the hell out of me that I am forced to rise to my feet and attempt to leave but she blocks my path.
" What was the meaning of that?" She ask consequently confusing me
" What was what?" I ask nonplussed as I stare down at her with a confused frown
" How dare you discuss our agreement with my son" She yells angrily, confirming my suspicions.
Eren indeed had no hand in her evil schemes.
" So you are admitting that you betrayed your son and went behind his back to blackmail me under pretense of paying my mom's bills" I ask in a provocative manner, in other to get under her skin.
I have hated my husband for months and it's all her fault.
" I betrayed no one. I am Luna I can do whatever I chose. In case you haven't noticed, I have all the power in this pack" She says arrogantly.
It was true, she was indeed the most powerful being in this pack. She controls everything: wealth, education, healthcare and even taxes.
" Stick to our agreement. Your mom will have her kidney transplant when you get pregnant" She insist
" I am sorry to burst you bubble mother, but Eren has already paid for it. He is practically waiting on me to give a date for the operation and I will be damped if I let you scare me out of this" She says angrily staring at her, eyeballs to eyeballs.
She doesn't scare me one bit anymore.
Not once have I been this angry. I feel nothing other than rage.
" I see you have grown wings Octavia. Now, let me warn you. Don't say a thing about our agreement to Eren or....." She says and I cut in
" Or what. I am not scared of you" I inform still maintaining my fearless demeanor
" You should be. I can kill you and make it look like an accident. Don't you dare dry to double cross me because if you go behind my back to have your mom's surgery done with my approval. I assure you she would not make it out alive" She says in a cold hostile manner " If you want your mom to leave. Stick to our agreement"
At this point I want to shout, to tell her to go to hell but I am at a loss for words.
Why is my life such a tragedy. It's like I take one step forward and three steps back.
" Do you have something to say?" She ask mockingly, to which I have no answers
" Nothing!!!. That's what I thought. Octavia always remember your are 0 more than a glorified baby 0machine, so don't go about falling in love with a man you can't have " She says with disgust , before spitting and walking out.
My chest hurts and I feel like crying but I refuse to show witness in public.
Without hesitation I quickly dash into my room, collapsing to the floor and crying my eyes out.
" What did I do to deserve this. God where did I go wrong to deserve" I yell in tears.
My mom is so unfortunate to have a daughter like me. I can't even provide for her medical needs.
' I need someone to talk to. I wish Nadia was here'- I think and just then I hear a knock at my door.
I pull myself together, wipe my tears and open it.
Guess what, it's exactly who I want to see, Nadia.
" Nadia, it's you" I say as I pull her into a tight hug, releasing all my tears " I missed you so much"
" I missed you too" She confesses as she pulls away from the hug "What's wrong?" She ask with a concerned expression
" I.... I...." I try speaking but my voice gets drowned in tears.
" It's fine. Don't say anything" She commands as she shuts the door and we move to my bed.
" Nadia, Luna Lola. She......." I start speaking but she cuts in
" Everything is going to be fine, don't cry" She beseeches me.
" I am tired. Please can I hold you till I fall asleep" I beseech her tired
" Of course" She says with a smile as lays on the bed stretching out her arm for me to lay on and I happily oblige.
" Thank you for everything" I gratify with a smile as I wrap my arms around her.
Nadia is one of the only people, I can truly rely on. Her being here makes me feel better already.

NADIA POV
Octavia, Octavia, Octavia.
Poor, beautiful, naive Octavia.
She's way too timid for the post of luna.
Eren is way too perfect, authoritative, and complicated for her.
She doesn't deserve him.
She deserves someone better.
Someone who truly deserves her.
Someone who is sane.
Someone who makes her feel like the queen she truly is.
Someone who is obsessed with her.
Someone who worships the ground she walks on.
Someone who can take a bullet for her.
Someone like me.
I am the only one, who truly deserves her.
