Episode 14

I woke up right before anyone could do it. I had become accustomed to waking up so early. No matter how late I slept, I got out of bed feeling weak, but I was not ready for another round of beating or torture. It has been so much recently.

I had passed through a lot and I wondered if I should take my life. The hatred was too much; everyone, just every single person, hates me deeply and raw. Seeing me was enough to spoil their day. They will always act like I am some kind of monster. I wish I could meet my mother and ask if I really took her life,

I knew nothing then. I was still like a fetus. How could I have thought of murdering Mom when she had yet to wrong me? My birth took her life, and I guess it should be blamed on fate. That may have been the fate assigned to her by the moon goddess, but it didn't go that way.

Everyone believed that I was the murderer. The reason why mom died was never known, but they concluded I did it, especially because of my strange eyes. They had no choice but to call me a demon.

I took three steps to the door and felt a rush of dizziness wave through my body as I staggered back to the bed and plopped down with a loud thud. My head pounded so heavily and both of my legs were so weak that I couldn't stand again.

The scene from yesterday filled my mind, and I closed my eyes tightly, holding my temple as I shook my head to push it away; it was taunting me, and the sight of the demon Luna was breaking my heart and driving me insane.

I knew she was a demon, but I didn't have the courage to tell Daddy. The first time I mentioned it, he punched me in the face and I bled. I'm afraid of what he'll do this time if I say it again. There was no one who would listen to what I had to say. They all love Elf as the second Luna. She is highly respected.

How can I then make it known that she came here for a bloody mission, to wipe the silver moon from the earth's surface?

"Why am I the only one who knows this!" I screamed in pain, gritting my teeth as hot tears rolled freely,

My lips quivered and I really felt my heart breaking into pieces. It was useless for me to know. I got to see her true identity with the red eyes, but then what was the use? I'm a slave, I'm nothing! ... Everyone enjoys hitting me, but they despise seeing me.

How can I persuade them that the Luna, not I, was the demon?

I growled to myself, feeling so angry at everyone in the pack. They were all blind and ignorant, Elf was going to succeed. I can't help the death looming around me.

With a deep sigh of exasperation, I got off the bed and headed to the kitchen. At first, I had thought I'd be locked up in the room as they once mentioned, but that wasn't true, I was only bound from leaving the park house and not my room.

All the work around the park house was still on my head. All the slaves had been sent away. Even the omegas are treated well. I have to do all the work by myself.

I got out of my room and scurried to the kitchen to make a quick dish as usual. After some hours, I was done.

I began to do the sweeping and cleaning. The hallway, which was so long, and the royal hall, which looked like a field, made me just feel like I was going to lose my breath. It was so much for one person, but they won't see that everyone has rejected me!

Hours were gone before I was done, I had to keep the food on the dining table before the sweeping, as I knew I would be late to do that when I began to clean the house. I swear everything was purposefully littered with various types of trash.

It was clear that everyone wanted me to suffer. The dirt that surrounds the house every morning would make you cry in frustration, but I have to clean it up and wait for another round the next day.

"Hey, come over here!" I heard a voice order me from behind. I really forced myself not to hiss when I knew who had the voice, I knew quite well who it was. Scarlett, Elf's daughter, had the voice.

I turned and met her scornful look. She was really staring at me like a fool and I really felt ashamed of it. She looked so fresh and beautiful. Her brown hair was permed and flowed down to her back. She had bright brown eyes, which really adorned her tan skin. Her full body was elegant, with good shape and soft skin,

I'd always admired her beauty and wished I was her, but now she hates me like her mother, and I've learned to avoid her. I'm the unfortunate one; she's so lucky to have Luna as her mother.

"Why are you staring at me? Run over here now!" She spoke with her yet-to-be sixteen-year-old voice. As much as I can remember, I am already 16 now, which means I'm older than she. This really made me feel hurt at how she just ordered me.

I growled deeply, walking to her instead of the run she ordered I do, I just wished I wasn't rejected, I wish I had the same rights as her. I would have slapped her for shouting at me. She should be calling me Big Sister, but hell no, my world is different.

Just as I got close to her, she slapped me hard on the cheek, making my eyes widen in shock. I held my cheek with my mouth agape.


"Next time, you run and not walk, you filthy demon!" She seethed.

"Scarlett, you slapped me? For real??.." I exclaimed with a raised brow, making her laugh scornfully.

"Come over to my room and keep it tidy. Sweep and clean everywhere. After that, I'll arrange my school uniform, be fast so I won't be late to school..." She ordered, and I sneered at her,

"I'll be the greatest fool to do all that, and mind you, I won't spare you again if you dare to raise your scraggly hand on me!" I growled and turned away.

She rushed at me from behind, I sensed it and turned immediately. A hot slap from her landed on my cheek again, and this time I couldn't bear it.

I gave her my slap and she fell immediately, screaming like she would die any moment.

"Are you still a kid? I slapped you just once, and you are rolling on the floor, screaming like a day-old child!" I scoffed, but she screamed louder, and that was when I knew I was doomed.

She was screaming to get the attention of Dad and Mom. My heart began to beat so loudly and fast. I stared at her as she cried as I stabbed her.

"Scarlett, stop making those noises...please, I mean, I'm sorry, stop crying. I...I..." My lips were just quivering, I kept looking around, praying no one heard the cry, but it was impossible.

"Who made my daughter cry this early morning?" When I heard Daren, my father's voice, I knew I was done for the day; I was in hot soup already.

I regret ever touching her. Maybe I should have allowed her to hit me as she liked, but it was so hard,

Immediately she heard the voice of the father, she increased her scream and even held her belly and legs,

"What happened to you? Elena, what did you do to her?" My father asked to help her up from the floor.

I opened my mouth to explain it all, but she overtook me.

"Dad, she pounced on me because I begged her to help me arrange my room," she sniffed, crying more.

I was dumbfounded, wondering when she begged me that and when the hell did I pounce on her, like was this her plan?

Dad turned to me with fury in his eyes. There was pure hatred in there and his fist was clenched already for a punch.
