Inhale… Exhale... Breathe in… Breathe out... This is the mantra I silently recite to myself, in order to prevent tears from escaping as the forceful lash strikes my body. Remain silent... Maintain a downward gaze... You are merely the lowly soil beneath our feet... Never raise your voice... Obey instructions...

Since my arrival, these rules have been etched into my mind. However, I have also developed my own set of guidelines. These include refraining from shedding tears, concealing any emotional pain, refusing to allow others to belittle me, following instructions, and avoiding any form of suffering.

"Dawn, are you listening to what I'm saying !?? You respond when I speak to you !!" It took me a second to get pulled out of my thoughts…

"Yes Alpha, as you command..." I stuttered.

"Do you know what you did wrong, Dawn?" The Alpha ceased striking me with his whip as he became preoccupied with the conversation he initiated.

"Y-yes A-Alpha." I inadvertently dropped the breakfasts that I had prepared for the entire pack. This action provoked the Alpha's anger, which was already compounded by another unfortunate incident. I made the ill-advised decision to meet the Alpha's gaze, marking my second mistake of the day. Consequently, I have been confined to my room since morning, resembling more of a prison cell, as I patiently await my punishment. This state of seclusion persisted until an hour ago.

"Little girl, who did you cause embarrassment to today? Furthermore, who did you demonstrate disrespect towards?"

"I disrespect and embarrassed you today, Alpha." I stuttered one more, making sure to not meet his gaze

"That's a good girl, so smart. Now, I have much more pressing matters to deal with. Reflect on what you have done today, and your chores are doubled for the next upcoming months. " After expressing his disgust in his voice and giving me a piercing glare, he exited the room and securely locked it, preventing any chance of my escape.

What a wonderful day, don't you agree, Moonlight?

Definitely! The greatest! One day we'll be getting out of here and be free from this horrible pack. And who knows, maybe we'll find our mate!

Whatever you say, Moonlight…

Moonlight is the sole companion that prevents me from losing my sanity and acts as my confidant, boosting my self-esteem. Except for the Omega twins, Amber and Amanda, and the pack's Luna, Sabrina, Moonlight is my only trusted friend and ally.

The Luna has consistently shown me kindness, despite the mistreatment I receive from her Mate and the other wolves within their pack. Luna Sabrina has selected me as her assistant during the day and tends to my injuries when no one else is present.

At the age of fourteen, I was enlightened by a tale narrated by her. The story revolved around a youthful she-wolf who was forcibly separated from her pack and her true mate. The Alpha, responsible for the abduction, displayed a sense of mercy towards the female wolf due to her exceptional beauty and intelligence. Consequently, he extended a proposition to her and eventually appointed her as his Luna. Thus making her his chosen Mate.

It dawned upon me that this narrative was a reflection of her own experiences. The underlying message conveyed through this anecdote was to never entertain offers from individuals other than one's designated Mate, to remain steadfastly loyal to one's pack, and to exercise caution when dealing with strangers.
