Luna Verdict

"Rosa, oh no!" I cried. I shook Rosa's lifeless body. I knew it had to be the incident that happened earlier. I didn't know that this would cause her to be unconscious.

Quickly, I ran to the door and unlocked it. I needed help or else, Rosa would die.

"Help!" I cried in a loud voice. "Someone is dying! Help me! Help us!"

I continued to shout until one of the maids came out. She followed me into the room and saw Rosa, who was still unconscious. She ran outside and in a moment, she was back with the guards.

The guards helped, and we carried Rosa to the clinic in the mansion. It was a long way to get there, but we made it. Hopefully, Rosa would survive.

And she did. Rosa was a very strong lady, and she proved that by surviving this clash. I was so afraid, but she ended up surprising me.

"It's safe since there's no internal bleeding," the doctor said slowly. "Her skull protected her brain very well and that's what helped out!"

"Is she fine? Why did she lose consciousness in the first place?" I asked slowly.

"She is fine, but you can't see her now. She is resting so you could prepare a meal for her so that once she wakes, she will eat!" The doctor told me.

"Thank you so much!" I said slowly, and I turned to leave. However, the doctor called me back. He was a man in his fifties.

"I must say this, milady," the doctor said slowly. "This place is not meant for the lower class, like maids and guards. We can only take them if they get wounded while fighting for the pack. In other situations, they are not supposed to come here. They have their clinic down here."

"But I was told that their clinic has no facility, and it's filled to the brim with a lot of people lying sick," I said slowly. I said this with so much passion.

"In essence, your maid is not supposed to be here. You have six hours from now to take her elsewhere. She should be fine by that time," the doctor told me. "I only accepted her because of you, Luna."

"Thank you. I will go ahead and get her some food now," I replied, and turned to leave.

"One more thing," the doctor called. I had to turn back to listen to him once more. This process was tiring, and it showed in my face.

"Yes!" I called.

"I am sorry for that. I hope you are not annoyed that I am calling you back and forth," the doctor told me. He sounded quite uneasy and this made me wonder what he wanted to say.

"It's okay," I told him carefully. "You can go ahead and tell me what you have to say. I am not in a rush for now."

The doctor sighed.

"I mean no harm, milady, but could you consider delegating this duty of yours?" The doctor asked slowly.

I laughed.

"It doesn't matter, doctor. I know you are saying this because I am the Luna," I replied solemnly.

"No, that's not the reason!" The doctor replied to me carefully. "You should see my assistant. Her name is Isabel and she is very kind. She is a very good doctor as well."

"Why do I need to see a doctor? I am not sick or wounded!" I told him carefully. I wondered what he was talking about.

"There are scars all over your body," the doctor said carefully. "I mean fresh scars and I have been looking at them for a while. See your hand. There is a bite scar."

I looked there and behold, I found a fresh scar. Gabby was the one who bit me there. I had to hide this from public view.

"There is another one on your neck," The doctor told me slowly. He sounded quite confused as he said this. I tried to cover up as well. "You don't need to cover the scars because I have seen more than enough. I just need you to see Isabel now. She is a female like you are, and she could be the best person to do this!"

I sighed.

"Thanks for your tip!" I managed to give him a false smile. "I have been so worried about my maid that I have forgotten that I have scars all over. Is it so visible?"

"Yes, it's quite visible and attractive," the doctor replied. "When I looked at you at first, the scars were what I noticed first. Also, your face is pale, and you need to care more than your maid. I think you should go now. Let me take you there!"

I smiled at him, and he led me to the office of his assistant. This wasn't easy for me at all but I managed to get it over with. I have to familiarize myself with this now. I knew he knew how I got those wounds. Just before he opened the door to the office, I decided to ask him a question.

"Do you know how I got these scars?" I asked slowly. I felt like there was more to this. People seemed to accept the truth like it meant nothing.

"Most of your scars are bite scars, so it has to be Alpha Gabby. If its scars were caused by a whip, it would be Eileen. If you break an arm or a leg, it is Josephine!" The doctor said slowly.

"How do you know all these?" I wanted to know. This was so strange.

"You ain't Alpha Gabby's first mate, and might not be the last!" The doctor told me. "I have been here for twelve years and in the past four years, Alpha Gabby has had twenty mates. He has five mates per year."

I was so shocked to hear this. I thought I had found myself a new life, but I never knew that Alpha Gabby had this kind of history.

"What happened to the mates? What did he do with them?" I asked slowly. I couldn't believe what was happening to me.

"It's usually a use-and-dump scheme!" The doctor said carefully. "He would use them for a few weeks and once he gets tired of them, he would reject them. He also makes sure that he suffers them very well while they are with him."

"Unbelievable!" I exclaimed. My heart was beating loudly. I was so shocked by the realization of the life I had settled for.

"It's the truth!" The doctor said slowly. "The worst thing is that he doesn't do the bullying alone. Josephine and Eileen are with him on this. Did I tell you that Alpha Gabby's twelfth mate was killed? It wasn't intentional but it happened."

"Ahhh!" I shouted.

I heard the door open and a woman came in. She was not too young or too old. She had gray hair and pink lips. It didn't compliment me, but she was beautiful nevertheless.

"When did you start gossiping?" The woman asked. I could see the doctor beaming smiles. I needed no one to tell me that he was in a relationship with the woman.

"This is Isabel, and she will be taking care of you," the doctor told me slowly. I looked at Isabel and she smiled at me.

"Are you Luna Jacqueline?" Isabel asked me carefully.

"Did you come to my mating ceremony with the Alpha?" I asked her. This was a reply to the question she had asked me. Everyone could differentiate a Luna from a hundred women. I had my robe to prove this.

"I came!" Isabel smiled.

"Then you must know who I am. Can I come inside?" I asked carefully.

"I will leave now, my lady!" The doctor told me. Carefully, he left me alone with Isabel.

Isabel led me inside her office and closed the door to stop distractions. She started to fish for her tools. I watched as she did this.

"I think you should remove your clothes and enter the room there," Isabel pointed at the door in a corner of the room. "That's where the bathroom is located."

"Why do I have to bathe?" I asked carefully. "Aren't you going to dress my wounds, so I can leave?"

Isabel stood up and looked at me slowly.

"I have a sharp sense of smell and I can smell blood on your body," Isabel said slowly. "The stench is horrible when mixed with your sweat, so you should be clean before we do anything."

I sighed.

"I understand!" I replied. I tried taking off my clothes, but I had to be careful since I felt pain every time the robe touched my wounds. Finally, I was able to remove all of my clothes and I went inside her bathroom.

"I have a bathtub!" Isabel told me and made me step into it. She had water in the bathtub already.

When I had my whole body immersed in it, I was forced to get out.

"It's hot water!" I shouted. "I have wounds, and you want me to be immersed in hot water. Do I wish to boil myself?"

"Point of correction, young lady," I replied. "It's warm water!"
