I Am His Luna

Chapter 28

“Mom said you tried to sneak into Alpha’s room last night?” Cindy asked, studying me.

“Your mother is…?”.

The face of that indifferent old woman from last night flashed through my mind. “You’ve met her,” Cindy said as she tidied her hair. “Her name is Mary. She’s always taken care of Alpha’s daily chores. Even though she’s only an Omega, Alpha has always respected her greatly.”

“Oh, I see.” I nodded, wanting to end this conversation quickly. I could feel that this girl holds strong hostility towards me.

Cindy suddenly smiled. “Don’t blame her for sticking her nose into this. She did it for your sake. Alpha doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s resting. If Mom hadn’t stopped you, Enzo would have been mad at you.”

“No, I didn’t blame her.”

In fact, I didn’t think that Enzo would be mad at me for that. He always seemed patient and not as easily angered as Cindy had described.

“That’s good. Oh, by the way, I was heading to the training grounds. Do you want to come along?” “Training?”

“Yes. You should be familiar with training grounds since you’re an Alpha’s daughter. You should give my trainees a round of demonstration as the future Luna.”

She was smiling, but I could feel that the smile didn’t meet her eyes.

Ellen had never allowed me to participate in any training. She always told me that all I needed to do was be a good servant.

So, even though I had an Alpha’s aura and was a fast runner, I had no idea what real training was like.

There was a good chance I would make a fool of myself if I went.

I didn’t want to embarrass Enzo, or rather, I was afraid that people would look down on me. I also didn’t want to appear weak in front of Enzo.

“I… I’m not too familiar with this place yet, so I want to explore first.”

I tried to sound as calm as possible.

“That’s a lame excuse,” Cindy said.

In the end, she still brought me to the training grounds.

The Cold Moon Pack’s training grounds were so extensive that I couldn’t see its edge from where I stood.

There were all kinds of equipment, most of them I wasn’t not familiar with. The only one I could name was the target a few hundred meters away from me.

Cindy led me to stand in a field filled with rows of obstacles, then suddenly blew the whistle on her chest.

Scattered members converged on us and stood in a square formation upon hearing her whistle.

Cindy stepped forward, put her hands behind her back, and shouted, “This is our Luna. Everyone, welcome her.” The expected applause didn’t come, but a burst of contempt floated into my ears instead.

“Luna? She’s the one the Blue River Pack sent over as our Alpha’s marriage partner?”

“She is a skinny chick.” “Luna my ass. With that scrawny body?” “She’s bound to hold Alpha back.” “I thought Cindy would be Luna. She and Alpha grew up together, after all.” “Yeah, didn’t Alpha always like Cindy?”

My face was redder as if the sun had shown directly on it. Beads of sweat dripped from my forehead and onto my cheeks. The last two sentences I heard made me feel like fish bones were stuck in my throat, making it impossible to breathe. I hated myself at that moment because I could feel jealousy bubbling up in me that was caused by my extreme inferiority complex.

Cindy’s talent and excellence were evident to everyone. Every muscle on her body was alluring. To be an instructor of this entire training ground was also proof of her abilities.

Goosebumps crawled all over my back in the sweltering summer heat, and I could feel panic welling up inside me.

Cindy clapped her hands. “Everyone, quiet!”

She turned around and looked at me, then lowered her voice. “Sorry. At their age, they only say what they see. Here we’ve never valued family status but only abilities. The more capable people are more respected. They will acknowledge you as long as you show absolute strength.”

I clenched my fist that was hidden under my sleeves. I didn’t know how to answer that.

My physical strength and endurance were excellent. Ellen often tortured me, so I wasn’t some delicate young lady. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to survive those torments.

But I wasn’t familiar with anything here. I didn’t even know what these equipment were for. There’s nothing I could do to prove myself.

“So, can you show everyone what you can do?” Cindy said with a smile. I looked around, then gritted my teeth and asked, “What do you want me to demonstrate?” If it were running, that would be fine. I knew how to move my two legs, after all.

But Cindy pointed at the row of obstacles and said, “400 meters weighted obstacle course. You up for it?”

I could barely control the expression on my face. I must look like an idiotic loser.

Cindy smirked. “Do you not know how to?”

I shivered and almost nodded.

“You could-”

“What are you guys doing?” I was about to ask Cindy to give me a demonstration so that I could have a reference and at least know how the obstacles worked…

But someone cut me off.

It was Enzo and Kyle. They walked over. “Alpha! You’re here!” Cindy sounded elated. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

She took Enzo’s arm like it was natural and said, “We wanted Luna to give us a demonstration.

Enzo frowned as he withdrew his arm from Cindy then walked towards me with a smile.” What demonstration?” “400 meters weighted obstacle course,” I replied. Enzo’s lips curled up more. He leaned in closer to me and whispered into my ear, “Do you know how to?”

I shook my head disappointed. He straightened up and rubbed my head. “Don’t worry. Just leave it to me.”

He looked at those dumbfounded trainees and said, “I have some time. So I’ll fill in the place of Luna.”

He casually took off his black jacket, revealing the tight black t-shirt he wore underneath. Every muscle of his was pressed up tightly against the material and outlined it clearly.

“But Luna-”

Enzo interrupted her as Cindy was about to say something else, “Are you saying I can’t do it as good as your Luna?”
