Fated reborn - Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Lunawyn's POV.
Treat me more than what I was?
His words reverberate through me and my heart squeezed. Was I destined to be second best?
I looked in the direction of the window where he had climbed through, its frame empty like he had never been here.
I couldn't go to find him because I didn't trust my father to not have guards stationed around my room.
I went back to bed, shattered, a well of emotions churning in me as an uncomfortable sleep claimed me.
Morning came, along with a pound on my door and I turned towards, a groan escaping my lips.
"Can't anyone get a little privacy around here?"
My door opened and Lykania and my mother stepped through, their faces held high like they were royalty.
"Wyn, how are you this morning?" Lykania asked, her voice meek like she hadn't been screaming like a meercat the day before.
"Just peachy." I gritted my teeth, hunger gnawing at my stomach. I needed to get some food into my system.
"Lunawyn," my mother started, her face giving away no emotions,
"Your father would like to speak to you, so be ready in an hour." She finished. This was the most I had heard my mother say in a long time. She usually spared me a few words once in a while.
She turned to leave and Lykania and I were left alone.
"Don't think I've forgotten the stunt you pulled yesterday." She seethed. There it was, the meercat from yesterday.
"Oh, tired of pretending to be calm," I mocked as my lips curved into a smile. Her eyes flashed and she bared her teeth at me. I only responded by smiling wider.
"Pretending?" She scoffed, "I'm not the man stealer here."
"You sure about that?" I asked, my brow raised.
I hadn't forgotten the sight of her and Orion in that garden, and I don't think i ever will.
"Don't you have somewhere else to be? Besides bugging me." I let out, this conversation was boring me and I wanted to get a move on. I needed some food damnit.
Lykania shuffled on her feet, glaring daggers at me. She looked like she didn't quite know what to do with me.
"Father doesn't like to be kept waiting," she huffed. And didn't I know that.
"Now if you'll excuse me."
"About time." I rolled my eyes just as she stomped out of the room, and I heard the decisive click of the door. Locked in again.
"You know you'll have to let me out some time if I'm going to see my father," I called through the door an hour later. I was sure one of the ten guards that was stationed outside had to have heard me. And knowing my father, they were probably more.
The door clicked open and I walked through, the guards standing outside looked forward like there was something so interesting about the bland coloured walls.
I stopped when I felt their presence following behind me.
"Are you still going to follow me too?" I asked over my shoulder and I heard one of the guards shrug.
"Those are our orders." The guard's gruff voice called back.
Moon goddess help me, did my father think I would bolt out of the house?
A noise that sounded like a groan left my lips as I twisted down the hallways and found myself in my father's office. Though, I had taken a detour to the kitchen because I needed energy for the bullshit I was sure he was about to spill.
"Why don't you tell your guards to back off a bit." I demanded as I barged right in.
My father's jaw ticked but he didn't say anything, at first. My mother and Lykania were there, huddled together. They were obviously discussing something and it was definitely about me. What a happy family, I rolled my eyes at my attempt at sarcasm.
"Is that how you enter a room where your elders are speaking?"
"I enter a room however I want. And besides, I'm only returning the favour from this morning." My gaze drifted to my mother, then settled in Lykania. Our eyes met in challenge.
"Am I right Lykania, tell father how you barged into my room with such-"
"That is enough Lunawyn." My father yelled, banging his hands on his desk so hard that the whole office shook.
"I've called you here so you can redeem yourself and maybe then you might not be so useless in my eyes."
Redeem myself? What was my father on about now?
"You have your sister to thank," he said then turned towards Lykania who was grinning like a hyena, her eyes shining with mischief. Oh boy, that couldn't be good
"If not you would have been confined to your room for however long I felt like." His voice rose octaves higher sending a shiver down my spine. That wasn't good either.
"Now, you are going to apologize to Alpha Orion and beg him to take you back, and in turn you are to forget about Alpha Luciano as he is going to marry your sister. Your mother, Lykania and I have talked about this and we think it is a very good idea. Do this, and your sister is so kind enough that she said she would forgive you."
The air rushed out of my lungs and my heart stopped. Hysterical laughter rang through the quiet office, and it was coming from me. I held the sides of my stomach as I wheezed, tears blurring my eyes as I laughed.
"Haha... Father, you're so funny..." I wiped my eyes then sucked in a breath to try to calm down.
They wanted me to apologize to that douche bag? And then have the audacity to say that my sister was "kind" enough to forgive me?
Yeah, kind my ass.
"So you all decided this huh, well I decided that that's a load of bullshit!"
"Lunawyn!" My mother called sharply.
"Don't Lunawyn me, I'm pretty sure you just sat and watched as both Father and Lykania decided what I should do." I yelled, pointing my finger at her accusingly.
"Wyn, how dare you talk to mother like that," Lykania let out as she played the role of the ever "kind" and loving daughter perfectly. Well screw me.
My heart thudded like a drum in my chest and I breathed heavily.
In, out... In, out, I told myself. It wasn't worth it losing my cool with them.
"Lunawyn!"
