~~ COUNTRY M, LUNA'S ROOM ~~
"What are you doing?! work harder!! If you don't finish your work, then no food for you..!!" The guards yelled at the workers under the hot sun.
The Elysium's field is where the half breeds work, it is a large farming area with different sections.
While few half breeds got the opportunity to work at the pack house as maids and guards, the unlucky ones spend their whole life working at Elysium's field. Both young and old, men and women..
"I'm tired, I can't do this any longer brother.." sixteen years old Luna, Roman's sister said beside him.
The nineteen years old Roman couldn't reply either, he had to work extra portion today because their father is down,and the guards wouldn't even care if he die while working, so he decided himself to do his father's portion along with his.
The sun was burning his body badly, aside from getting weak and tired, he was burning up with fever.
Few hours later...
"Enough for the day..!"
They finally heard the salvation voice of the guard in command and some of them let out a tired sigh while some passed out in peace.
Yes..! in peace, because in Elysium's field, even if you pass out you will be woken up and you will continue from where you stopped. And lastly, your food will be out of the book!
Since it had rain the previous day, some fell on the dirt to regain their strengths before going in while some couldn't wait to go inside and shelter themselves from the burning sun.
There are buildings close to Elysium's field where the half breeds stay, even though the only time they get to enter is in the night after their daily work or every once in a week they'd go for break and that was today.
They always wake up in the early hours of the morning and work till late evening. Then the next day, dead bodies would be seen each day and they will be buried as if they are nothing.
The half breeds and most especially wolves with the smallest ability, the omegas are well known for being too skinny and tiny due to being underfed, which results in most of the deaths. They only get to eat once in a day and that is after working for a few hours during the day around three in the afternoon.
"Brother, let's go in.." Luna called her brother back to reality and began running towards the building. Their only shelter...
Before Roman could lift his face towards her retreating back, he didn't see her because of the trees. While others left, he was the only one left behind as he continued working under the scorching sun.
However, Luna was not yet far from the field when she felt someone's hand grab her. She wanted to scream but the hand immediately covered her mouth and Luna's eyes widened. She was pulled away into the nearest bush, and finally she got to see the person. Turns out it was twenty years old Magnus, the son of the second in command at Elysium's field, who have been making countless advances toward her.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Luna yelled.
"You think I was going to give up, Nah.. I'm only after your little tight hole and don't bother to struggle because nobody can hear or even save you today.."Magnus said with a devilish smirk and Luna shook her head fearfully.
"No....please, don't do this.." she began pleading in a broken voice, she can't loose her innocence in such a shameful way,never.
Magnus began tearing her off the rags she called clothes as he pinned her forcefully to the dirty ground full of dry leaves.
"Please!!" She cried.
"Shut up bitch.." He smacked her bursting her lips instantly.
Luna continued crying and screaming,then she felt his member at her entrance which made her shook vigorously.
"No.. No! Brother..!" She screamed out loudly as she felt his member thrust into her entrance roughly.
However...
Roman on the other hand was still working at the field since his was working for his father too, when his ears perked.
He heard a scream...
"Brother..! Please save me..!" He heard again and instantly his eyes snapped to the direction the voice came from.
"Luna?!" He muttered. With the last strength in him, he immediately got up and pick a hot chase.
"Luna, please be safe.." he muttered as he ran towards the place.
As he got closer, he began tracing his sister's scent and it led him in to the bush still inside the field. It was just about few foots remaining to get where they were when all of a sudden, Roman's eyes darkened.
He just inhaled his sister's scent and it was mixed with the scent of blood!
With his wolf speed, he sped to where they were. On getting there, his soul nearly left him at the unpleasant sight that welcomed him.
Luna, his sister was half conscious whimpering in pain while the bastard was on top of her, groaning in pleasure.
Rage... Rage was the only visible thing in Roman's eyes. His eyes were on Magnus who was oblivious of his presence there. His jaw hardened and his gaze moved to the half conscious Luna who was in the poll of dirt with stains of blood on her face due to the struggle.
"How dare you?!" He growled and instantly pushed Magnus roughly away from his sister, pinning him by the neck in one of the trees. His eyes glowing a deep shade of yellow and emitting a murderous aura.
Magnus trembled in fear. But the thought of someone's influence reassured him and he smirked in content.
However...
Immediately Roman's eyes caught the smirk on his face, he landed a jaw breaking punch on his face bursting his lips instantly. With the anger burning through him right now, Roman continued raining punches on him till his face became unrecognizable.
He was still at it when all of a sudden...
"brother.." The half conscious Luna muttered weakly and his hand hanged in the air.
Rushing back to her, Roman didn't know what he felt that moment. He felt like he was the worst brother one could ever have since he wasn't even able to protect his younger sister.
Seeing the blood stains on her face, Roman felt worse and hot tears ran down his cheeks. It seems like the beating he'd given that bastard was no where near enough. He wanted to rush to Magnus again where he laid groaning in pain but Luna held him back.
"Don't.." she muttered weakly.
"No..! Let me go... so I can teach that bastard a lesson of his miserable life..." Roman spat with anger and Luna shook her head.
She wanted to say something when her blurry eyes looked behind Roman to see Magnus with a stone in his hand and a smirk on his face.
When did he get up..?
Before her weak self could say a word...
"Htttt..!"
Magnus knocked Roman out by hitting the stone at the back of his head.
No!!!" Luna screamed loudly as she jolted up from her sleep.
Beads of sweat could be seen all over her face as she placed her hand on her chest, trying to calm her racing heart down. She touched her cheek to see tears, looks like she was both crying in her dream and reality.
This was her nightmare, how she lost her innocence to Magnus and that is how the feud between her brother and Magnus began.
"It was all a nightmare?" She said but shook her head, wiping the tears on her face.
How long has it been since she last dreamt of this incident?
That felt too real to be a dream...
"But why all of a sudden dreaming of this trauma.." She said frustratingly, burying her face in her palms. She took a glance at phone, it was still four in the morning.
Slowly, she got down from the bed and began walking out of her room with only one thing in mind.
Water...
Luna walked into the kitchen and surprisingly she met Ethan standing by the counter. Seems he also had a nightmare or what could he be doing in the kitchen by himself by that time of the day..?
"Couldn't sleep..?" Ethan asked.
"No, Nightmare..." She said with a scoff as she walked in fully into the kitchen and Ethan looked at her carefully.
Her face and voice says it all..
He took the jug and poured some water in the glass cup before handing it to her.
"Have it, you voice might be gone.."he handed the glass to her and she took it, gulping it down in a go.
"Thank you.." Luna muttered and licked her lips. "What are you doing here, awake..?" She asked, looking at the window. It was still dark outside.
"Just couldn't sleep.." he replied plainly and Luna nodded.
"I feel... something bad is about to happen.." she said all of a sudden.
"Why do you say that..? Did something happen..?" Ethan asked.
"No.., I don't know.. I just... feel it..." Luna said and Ethan's brows furrowed.

~~PACK HOUSE ~~
"You said you wanted to tell me something, what's that?" Alex asked as he took a walk with Ethan.
Ethan carefully handed him the letter they got the other day and Alex collect it with a furrowed brows.
"What's this about?" He raised it up without opening it.
"It's from West Crescent pack, Don Illinois wrote it himself and sent it directly to you"
Ethan replied.
"What does he want..?" Alex asked.
"He wants an apology from you because of his nephew's death or he's gonna bring down the pack and take Roman and his sister away like he did in the past.." Ethan said.
Alex crushed the letter immediately, threw it way and looked at Ethan.
"You know I never apologize to anyone.." Alex said.
"I know.." Ethan replied.
"Assign two guards to be in charge of Luna's safety for the time being.." Alex said and Ethan bowed.
"Yes, Alpha.." He muttered
"Good" Alex said and with that, they continued their walking.
