My eyes flutter open, and the bright fluorescent bulb shining from the ceiling prevents me from keeping them open for long.where exactly am I?I try to stand from the bed but a splitting headache sends me sprawling back to my former position on the bed. I spend about ten minutes inhaling and exhaling, an exercise I learnt from Pierce."Argh". I groan. Why do I keep thinking about him? Every single action reminds me of him, like he's been an integral part of my life from the very beginning.But why do I actually feel like he has been an integral part of my life from the very beginning? Why the sudden feeling?That aside, I need to find out where I am and how to get out of this place, but this fucking headache won't let me.Suddenly, as if on cue the door flings open and Sophia rushes in."Bestie". She squeals in relief and quickly runs to me for a hug.I groan again. Because the effect of the hug just made my headache worse."I'm sorry. I'm sorry". She apologizes quickly even if she d

ANASTACIA' POV."Maybe you should just let him talk to you, Anastasia. Maybe you should hear him out and wait for his perfect timing". Sofia tried to convince me for the hundredth time tonight.

Jordan my younger brother interrupts my thoughtsI let out a worried sigh. "It has been your plan all along little brother what do you think I should do next"?He grabs the glass of champagne from off the table in front of him. "To be honest". He takes a sip "I have never wanted you to be with Anastasia. She's trouble, she's evil, she's bad, and I'm never going to support your relationship but if you insist that you want her, there's nothing I can do about it".I roll my eyes.

Second is the golden pen from the office, making remember the death of my parent and how I swept the entire event under the carpet.Third is having to explain to leave investors that taking another loan does not mean I'm crazy because they sure were looking at me like i needed to be in a psychiatric hospital and the last was having to meet Diana Carmichael after so many years.The last part bothers me a lot, because it reminds me of every thing I've tried to forget in the last 10 years.

Lucas' POVI stood by the rail in the balcony, staring down upon the beautiful kingdom that the moon goddess had blessed me with.Below, stood the pack's town where all the activities took place, and where you could find all job path you could think of.Then beyond the town's market place, stood the pack houses, inhabited by the pack members and their families.And then you could see the farms, the school, hospsital and other places needed for a pack to properly function. Other packs even came to us for most daily necessity.I smiled to myself, and suddenly something caught my attention. I could hear footsteps approaching from miles away. I closed my eyes and paid more attention to it.It wasn't a footstep i recognized. I had gotten used to how everyone in this palace walked. Family and friends inclusive, even every members of the council.But the maids, cooks and bodyguards had their own way of walking, it was either fast paced or not. It was either fierce or not.As i paid more atte

White Eye POV"He didn't even remember me". I said to Phil. "It was as if he purposely decided to forget everything about me".Phil had on a pitiful face. "I'm so sorry bestie. Nobody would endure what you went through, and still be alive.I shook my head. "I know. I know".A moment of silence ensured between us and in that moment, i decided to think about what i was going to do next. One thing was for sure though, I wasn't going to let them off the hook that easily. I was going to have my revenge on him, on all of them.I didn't tell Phil about the strange being that kept me company while i was a slave. He didn't need to know that. Knowing the kind of person Phil was, he was going to freak out, and get worried.After admitting that he got scared of me the day i beat up flourish, I decided not to scare him anymore by telling him things he didn't need to know about. "I am so sorry that i couldn't do anything while you were locked in that terrifying place". He said lowly, and suddenly

Lucas' POVI waited patiently on my throne in the council room for everyone to be present before starting the meeting.As the room got filled up gradually, i felt my anger increase, because i saw their faces, the faces of the people who were meant to protect me, to tell me the truth when i needed to hear it.But instead they did the exact opposite. What angered me more was that as they walked in, tmhey threw smiles at me.Fake, disgusting smiles.In no time the room was already filled, and Jules stood up to start the reading. "You are all welcome to this council room today. My king......""Sit, Jules. I interrupted him. "I will do the speaking today while you all sit and listen.."He looked around confused but he quickly masked the confusion with a smile. "Is anything the matter my king, you look troub.....""Well, i assume that you are not a deaf man, Jules, and you also know that i am quick to loose my patience"."Yes, i am well aware of that fact my kin...""Then sit down and liste

White eyes POVI opened my eyes in a very eerie place. I was sure that after what i went through in that dungeon, i mean the whole loosing breath thing, i was sure i had died, because there was no logical explanation as to why i was a dark eerie place.Or was this the dwelling place of the moon goddess? Was this her kingdom? But, why was it painted to be paradise? Why was it painted as the most beautiful place anyone would ever see?Well, this wasn't giving that vibe at all. I know! I know!! Since everyone in Golden dawn pack, I mean Lucas' pack was literally the head of all the other packs, and highest, i know that they must have lied to the other smaller packs about the dwelling place of the moon goddess to be paradise.What pathetic liars they were.Walking around wasn't even an option for me because, damn!! this place was dark. Darker than the darkest night. "Moon goddess of light indeed" I said sarcastically.As soon as those words left my lips, I heard the angriest voice i had e

Sophia's POVI've been happy, happier than i was when i roamed around different pack land as a rogue.I was beaten, abused and brutalized for a long time before Lucas found me, and i was grateful that he did.I didn't want to go back to that life anymore. I have a new life and i would do anything, i mean anything at all to keep the life i have now.About that white haired witch, she got what she deserved. She never had a place here, she wasn't even supposed to be here in the first place. Imagine a whore fighting to take my place as the rightful queen to the throne?Flourish? That overrated gamma never even had a chance at becoming the queen. She was just, let't just say, in the moment. I doubt that Lucas even liked her in the first place. All that shit talk about being friends since childhood was only an excuse for him.And me, it was fate that brought us together. It was the doing of the moon goddess. Or maybe not.Of course, you don't think it was all a coincidence that i got to mee

White eye's POvHow long have i been locked in here? i kept asking myself the same question over and over because i had really lost count of the time.They said two weeks but i was so sure that i had been locked in here longer than that.I burst into tears as i looked over myself. I was so pathetic. How did i end up like this.I thought back to the day i knelt before the king, being insulted and physically abused by people who were meant to protect me.They were all liars, fucking liars. The queen said if the king was okay, i'd be out of here, but what did they do? They kept me locked in here without a care in the world.What if i had died? I'd probably rot away in here without anyone noticing. I was honestly ready to take my own life. If the pathetic condition i was subjected to didn't kill me, i was ready to do it myself."Patience, child". I heard that voice again. The voice that been stuck in my head for so long, the voice that refused to go away.Hard to say, but i had gotten use
