Mia’s POVMadam Talia looked shocked at Adam, like she was offended.“Me? Value her input?” she asked angrily. “How long has she been in this pack? She’s not even a mistress! Why should she have a say in the Luna selection?”The ladies behind her all agreed. They came from noble families and didn’t even want to dine at the same table as me, let alone be judged by me.But Adam’s voice was cold, “That’s the Alpha’s order. If you have a problem, take it up with him.”The room fell silent immediately.This must be the power of a tyrant; no one dared to say another word.Madam Talia muttered, “I will ask the Alpha myself,” but I doubted she would.Adam turned to me again, his stern expression softening. “I’ll wait for you by the door, Miss Mia. After this, I’ll take you to see Alpha.”I heard the maids call him Captain, so he must be busy. How could I let him wait for me?I quickly waved my hands, “No need! Just tell me where Alpha Draven is, I can find him myself. Don’t trouble yourself.”
Mia's POVMy heart skipped a beat.Did he find out that I was helping Veronica cheat? No, it couldn't be. He was probably just joking.I tried to calm my nerves and forced a smile, “I'm just curious what will be tested during the Luna selection. Maybe I should learn that too.”I said it casually, trying to hide my true intentions.But Draven just said coolly, “You don't need to learn, it won't be of any use to you.”I froze, feeling like a bucket of ice water had been poured over me.What did he mean by that?Did he mean I didn't need to learn anything because I would never get a chance to be his Luna?Or was it because I didn’t belong to this upper-class society, so learning those manners and knowledge was pointless?“What is on your mind?” His voice came from above me.I felt a bit down and didn't say anything, but he forcefully lifted my head, making me look at him.“Tell me,” he ordered, his tone commanding.“I...”His piercing gaze seemed to see right through my soul.After hesit
Mia's POVWe needed to win the favor of the nobles at the ball.But what exactly did we need to win their favor, and what was the specific content of the first round of selection? Draven didn’t tell me in the end.I didn't dare to ask any further, afraid he might get suspicious of me.But Veronica and I were already one step ahead of the other Luna candidates.While the other ladies were spending time getting their hair done and buying expensive dresses, we could focus on what really mattered—Figuring out who those nobles were and what they liked.Draven told me he wanted to have dinner with me tonight. I agreed and left the office and went to find Lia, the butler.I had heard that Lia had been working in the packhouse for nearly a decade, so she should know all the important figures in the Full Moon Pack.I found her in her office.She seemed a bit surprised when I asked about the nobles of the Full Moon Pack, but she answered truthfully:“There are 3 major Houses in the Full Moon P
Mia's POV“Mia look! Isn’t that the hypocritical bitch? What’s her name again?” Veronica excitedly poked me.“Camille,” I muttered.“Right, Camille! But what is she doing here? Didn’t you say that Alpha Draven only told you about the masquerade ball? Did he also tell Camille?”My breathing became a bit difficult, and I forced a bitter smile.It was very likely he had told Camille as well.After all, even the elders thought Camille was the perfect choice for his Luna.If he wanted to give Camille a heads-up to help her become Luna faster, it would be all too easy.I was foolish to think Draven would only share this information with me, even to think I was special to him.How stupid I was.“Those soldiers will definitely tell her to get lost too!” Veronica sneered. “Didn’t the Langford’s master say that he didn’t want to have a
Mia's POVHe cursed under his breath.I trembled, trying to apologize to him, but in my dizziness, I threw up again.“Raise your heard.” He supported my head with one hand and shone his phone's flashlight into my eyes. “Don’t look away.”I shivered in the blinding light, mumbling, “S-Sorry…”“Mild concussion,” he concluded, putting away his phone. “Are you always this quick to apologize? If I remember correctly, I was the one who hit you.”I was indeed used to apologizing.Because for most of my life, whether I was at fault or not, I had to beg for others’ forgiveness.“Ah!”I gasped as he scooped me up from the ground, carrying me princess-style towards the forest. I could feel his muscular arms and firm chest.“N-No! Put me down…”I screamed in terror, kicking and struggling.Where was he t
Mia's POVHis kissing skills were extraordinary.Before I could react, he had skillfully pried open my teeth with his tongue and passionately kissing me.The hand that had been checking my forehead had already slipped to the back of my head, holding me in place as he pressed me closer to him.“Ugh... GET OFF ME!”I bit down hard on his lip and kicked him in the thigh, screaming as I pushed him away.He staggered back, touching his lip where I had drawn blood, frowning.“What’s wrong?” he asked, annoyed.I stumbled off the table, glaring at him in anger and shock. “What’s wrong?! You kissed me without asking! Do you kiss every girl you ran over with your motorcycle?”“Well,…” He rubbed his chin, “Pretty much.”This guy was a fucking playboy!A complete and utter danger!I turned and ran for the garage door, but he quickly caught up and grabbed my hand before I could escape.“Let go of me! Don’t
Mia’s POV“No… no, let go of me!” I screamed in terror.“Say it! Where did you go? Who is he?” he demanded through gritted teeth.“I just went for a walk and got lost, that’s why I came back late... There was no other man—AHHH!”Draven grabbed my collar and yanked it hard, tearing my shirt in half. I panicked, trying to cover myself, but he seized my hands.He leaned in close to my neck, taking a deep breath, and his grip on my hands tightened.“Still lying? I can smell another man’s scent on you!” he said darkly.My heart skipped a beat.It must be the scent Osborn left when he lent me his jacket.“Remember now?” Draven growled. “Did you forget about the contract? No one else but me! Have you considered the consequences of breaking the contract?!”I trembled under his sharp gaze, pleading, “I didn’t
Mia’s POVI was roughly dragged out of my room, held up by two maids, heading downstairs.We passed by many people along the way, but they only watched silently with mocking looks. No one stepped forward to stop them.This only confirmed that Draven was the one who ordered to have me thrown out of my room.He had indeed grown tired of me.It happened even faster than I had thought. I hadn’t even helped Veronica become his Luna, nor had I found out anything about my mother.If Draven were to kick me out of here tomorrow, I would have nowhere to go.I was finally thrown into a dark storage room, and they locked the door from the outside.There were some dirty rags on the ground. I crawled over and wrap them around myself, but I was still shivering from the cold.The damp ceiling was leaking, and I opened my mouth to catch the dripping water.Then I passed out again from the high fever.“...H
