Alex P. O. VStanding before a growling angry Zander is not in my day to do list. Jess and I had been standing before him for five minutes but it felt like an entity. I felt like I had returned to my school days when I was standing before the principal for my pranks. My math teacher Miss Harrison used to humiliate me every chance she got. So to get back on her I placed a big frog on her bag, spray painted her written 'Fucking Old Hag' and pinned a donkey tail on her ass which I got from a old costume. When she was roaming in the class while teaching I stuck the tail on ass everyone in the class burst out laughing. She immediately knew who did it and I was sent to the principal 's office. Thank goodness Noah did not get to anything about my pranks in school. The principal was my father's old friend. I would have been restricted from the school a long time ago. He just gave me two weeks detention . So here was Zander looking back and forth thinking if he wanted to slaughter us or bury
Zander P. O. VThe forest was bristling. Everyone was preparing for tonight's ceremony. It had been nineteen years since this ceremony was performed. Royal pack really did not have many new members who joined, mostly were born in the pack. The pack members of my pack were always welcoming. They love to have new people in the pack that's why this ceremony was celebrated grandly. They were going to love Alex. I just hope the council did not get a heart attack when they got to know her. That woman has a mind of her own . She did not shits from anyone and on the other hand was completely a kiss ass. I was sure if the council will do something hypocritical Alex will do or say something to put them all straight. I have never seen a woman as fierce as her, she is nothing like any woman I have ever met. She never bows to anyone and she definitely did not care what your status was. Wooden pieces were carried to the center of the forest to build the platform. There were small bouquets of flowe
Alex P. O. VFeeling the movement on my eyelids I wanted to open my eyes .As the brush was being run on my eyelids alternatively I felt like I was going to fall asleep. A soft brush touched my cheek and was stroked upward. A liquid was coated on my lips, absorbed by the skin. I felt the tip of the eyeliner brush touch the beginning of my eyes , it was being ran by the edge of my eyelid till the end of my eye then was stroked upward a little a few times. Something was being dabbed on my cheeks softly. My eyelashes were brushed with mascara. I felt my hair being combed and pulled backward.Soft curl of hair touched my skin and descended down on the side of my face. After a few minutes every movement paused. "You can open your eyes now".Slowly I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. When I adjusted my sight I looked at myself in the mirror. The girl before me did not look like me but still I was that girl. My eyelashes were long, casting shadows under my eyes . The light blue shimmeri
Alex P. O. VStepping down the last step I felt I won the Olympics in that big gown and silver color high heels. Jess helped me to carry the gown. I looked up and saw Enzo was waiting by the car. I walked to the car . Enzo opened the door for me. I smiled at him. He returned my smile. "You are looking very beautiful Miss Haward".I rolled my eyes at him playfully. We both know he could call me Alex but he called me Miss Haward when we were near pack members. " Thank you Enzo. You clean yourself well".Another two guards came to us. Enzo introduced us. "Alex, this is Logan and Seth. Logan is a new recruit who has been a part of the royal army for one month and Seth has been a part for a long time.They are going to guard you tonight".I was confused why there was so tight security. "What is the need for so much security? "."Alpha's order. A few neighboring packs have been attacked by the rogues in the last few weeks. So alpha do not want to risk anything and appointed them as your gu
Alex P. O. VFeeling a body heat and slight touch on the left upper arm I moved away a little. The touch made me feel uncomfortable. I stood up straight looking straight ahead. The elders were finishing up the arrangements of the ritual. A big vessel was placed in the middle of the stage on a platform. Behind it was a podium for the elder who was going to summon the moon goddess during the ceremony. The other elders had their seats near the edge of the stage. The decorations looked magnificent. The white silked clothes crossed above our heads in the center were giving it a tent-like look. The lights of the candle at night , the white flower decorations giving it a dreamy look. The vessel was filled with something that looked like water but was thicker than water. An elder came and placed the ancient dagger near the vessel covered in a red cloth. More than a century this dagger was in the royal family. It was a gift from Goddess Selene. I could sense Seth's body was moving closer. He
Alex P. O. VZander straightened his posture to deliver his beginning speech. If there were not so many people present I would have been sleeping on these grass by now. "Welcome everyone. I am glad to have you all participating in this ceremony. It has been nineteen years since we have a new member in our pack" . He gestured with his hand at Edina who smiled at the crowd. I really did not like this woman a single bit. She acted all sweet and innocent but there was always a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that she was not what she appeared to be.Something was off about that woman. I just could not place my finger on it but I knew she was up to something.Something feels familiar about this woman. It was weird that I had not seen this woman before but this intense hatred bloomed in my heart whenever I saw her like I wanted to burn her alive which was odd. Yes I took revenge from others before but it was not because I hated them or anything. I did that to teach a lesson that eve
Alex P. O. VClosing my eyes I felt welcomed. I felt like I belonged somewhere. They did not know me but accepted me more than my old pack members ever could. The wound started healing. I looked at my hand then at Zander's hand. It was healing faster than I had healed before.It must be his royal blood helping me to heal quickly. My own healing was usually slow but if I heal others it is fast. I did not have any knowledge of how my healing powers work.It happened one time when my brother was severely injured in war.I was scared to see my brother unconscious,not responding to anything . That time I healed him but after that I never used my healing powers. If only I knew how to control them. "Now let two of your blood in the sacred water from the eye of Crone. When the moon light will fall on the water . The water will start glowing by it. The Goddess will bless us with her presence. After the the glow is over if it turns transparent that means goddess accepted and welcomed you in the R
Alex P. O. VThe car came to a sudden halt. For most of the ride to the castle Zander and I had been quiet . Lost in our own thoughts. Everything for royals ended up with a ball. Though I appreciate their way of welcoming me. I felt like I was in a fairytale. A castle, a ball, a blue gown, instead of glass slippers I had feet killing pair heels on , instead of a pumpkin carriage there was a limo and I had a coup but he was more of a beast who was growling at every male specimen who was looking at me. The car door opened. Zander was the first to get out. When I got up and was about to exit the car he took my hand and led me out of it. We walked to the huge double door. The was pushed open by the warriors. We walked through the hallway to the main hall. All the guests were there, mingling amongst themselves. The whole hall was decorated with chandelier, flowers. There were red curtains at each side of the floor to ceiling windows. Meals were served on one side. A choir was at another
