Alpha Johan’s face twitched as his eyes darted between Ivorie and Martin. He was torn between yanking his hand away and hitting Ivorie anyway or just letting it go.“How dare you touch my father, you lowly guard?” Eloisa asked in a yell. She was posed behind them, glaring coldly at Martin.The latter paid her no attention as, at the moment, she wasn't a physical threat to the Luna. The man in front of her, however, is.After deciding that he wasn't going to be taught a lesson by a simple guard, he pulled his hand off his grip. And that was only because Martin had released his grip.“Father, if your hand so itches to hit me, then you can relive the past.” Ivorie said as Alpha Johan straightened up.He gazed at her longingly, not saying a word. Then he eyed her contemptuously before walking past her.Ivorie watched him leave, followed by Eloisa, who hissed loudly as she walked. Ivorie on the other hand smiled at how pained and pathetic they were.She turned aside to see her mother walki
“Bring in the dishes, be careful with them!” The head maid of the castle yelled at the maids serving food into the meeting hall that morning.The castle was brimming with activities as they were all following their Alpha's orders to do things at the peak of their abilities and make the castle enjoyable and unforgettable by their guests. The decorations – from the castle doors, to the throne room, to the hallways, down to the hall to be used for the meeting – had given the castle a different shade of atmosphere.The kitchen workers were busy with cooking and preparations of the best delicacies the castle could offer.Regan himself was clad in a black leather tailcoat that almost reached his ankle. The tailcoat had a Cresthowl pack warrior’s sigil on the left breast pocket area. The badge of Alphaship also lined up with it along with a few other badges.Even as an Alpha, Regan still preferred the warrior’s outfit compared to the official Alpha regal outfit for special occasions.There
“Alright, the meeting can begin now.”Regan gazed at her surprisingly. Her attitude shocked him. First she had arrived late, now she was acting so…bold. As much as he loved this new her, he couldn't help but be worried.“You kept us waiting yet you just command us to begin.” Alpha Johan scoffed disdainfully, his face contorted in anger.“I apologize for my lateness your dignitaries, but if we linger on my lateness too much, time won’t be on our side.” ivorie said in a calm tone.This only made Alpha Johan seeth the more, he sat up, “This is unacceptable! You can't just keep us all waiting like…”“Then what would you have her do, alpha Johan? She has already apologised for her lateness, you are simply the one dragging us back.” One of the Dukes said.“Alpha Regan, is this how noble women dress in your pack?” Alpha Jared, the fat Alpha asked, his tiny eyes squinted into a frown. “In my pack, women who dresses this way cannot be considered as nobles.” He added scornfully.“Well, good thi
Jenna had a look of utter jealousy on her face as she glared at Regan who was staring openly at Ivorie.‘Why is she showing off? I have all that knowledge as well.’ she said in her thoughts, wishing she was given all the attention Ivorie had.She wanted to be the one sitting next to Regan. She wanted to be his wife, she wanted his attention. She wanted to be the Luna.But no, Ivorie got it instead. And it pained her so much. All her life, she had grown to know that nothing good comes for free. And it had been her sole aim to attain great heights by working really hard.Ever since Alpha Arthur appointed her as Duchess, she knew she was on her way to greatness and that was just the beginning.However, she fell hard for Regan – something she hadn't expected could happen.She had been so scared to just declare her love for him then and chose to show it. Maybe he would realise it and give her a chance. She had no intention to make him fall for her just so she could become Luna. She was si
Clanks of spoons and dishes rented the air in the meeting hall. The meeting was partially over and all the dignitaries were busy dining. Various Cresthowl delicacies were being served in surplus and it absolutely contradicted the scarcity issue the pack was facing generally.As the dignitaries ate, music was being played in the background by a band of instrumentalists. They knew the right music to play, ones befitting the occasion. The way they blended from one music to the other with so much harmony gave the atmosphere serenity.“So, Luna Ivorie, I was wondering; how many siblings do you have?” Alpha Silas, who had taken a liking to Ivorie asked her politely as he gulped wine from a tankard.“Well,” Ivorie began, smiling warmly, “I have three siblings, all ladies. Although I sometimes think we're not siblings because they don't seem to like me that much, hahaha.” She said with giggle.Alpha Silas laughed boisterously too, knowing she was only joking.Even though Ivorie knew her siste
“That isn't why I decided to come.” He said and stopped before Regan. He looked straight into his eyes that it seemed he was trying to hypnotise him.He was quite taller than Regan, Ivorie noticed. His hair was even darker than Regan's which gave him a much darker ambience.“Don’t think I have forgotten about what happened that night, Regan.” He said in his husky tone. Ivorie stood close to Regan hoping the closeness would warm off the chill from the scarred alpha's tone.“Then why are you here?” Regan asked in an equally menacing tone. Ivorie could feel the power tussle in the air. The auras of two Alphas clashing before her, a wolfless Luna.“It’s simply because it's my duty.” Alpha Clawn finally said, breaking the silence.Regan raised a brow at him.“My ancestor pledged alliance with your ancestor, Alpha Balor. To always aid your pack in times of need when called upon. That oath has been passed down through generations in my pack. I will uphold the oath by aiding you, but I will n
“Is that enough, Luna?” Asked Grace immediately she placed a tray of food on the stool in front of Ivorie.“Yes, it is. Thank you.” Ivorie answered. She had already shed off her evening dress. She was now clad in a pale green shift gown for the night.“Is everything alright, Luna?” Grace asked, seeing that Ivorie hadn't begun eating.The latter exhaled, sitting upright. “I'm fine,” she said with a faint smile.“I'm just thinking about what has been happening lately,” she said, her voice low and thoughtful. Grace listened to her attentively.“There's this feeling that something dangerous is coming and I can't shake it off.” She said, gesturing with her hands.Grace shrugged, “I’m sure the Moon Goddess will protect you Luna.” She said assuredly.Ivorie's shoulders slumped, “I hope so.” She sighed, resting her jaw in her palm.“Now you need to eat and sleep, there might be more Luna work for you tomorrow.” Grace said.Ivorie nodded, “You're right, thank you, Grace.” She said gratefully.
“That is impossible!” Regan's voice rang out immediately the maid spoke.“I’ll advise that we listen to what the maid has to say, Alpha.” Elder Callen suggested. Regan sighed.“You may continue.”“It was late in the evening, all…of the guests had gone to their chambers…I…I was returning from the warriors’ quarters…where… where I went to…to deliver fo…food. T…that's when I saw her…” the maid stuttered fearfully, fiddling with her fingers.“So?” Regan waved his hands, “she could be heading anywhere!” He protested.“I saw her going into the guests' block, Alpha.” The maid argued subtly.Regan gritted his teeth.“Her mother is in the guests' block!” Regan protested again, trying really hard to defend Ivorie here. To him, it was totally impossible for her to take someone’s life.“Then let's ask her mother if she was with her the previous night.” One of the Elders suggested, the others nodded but Regan rolled his eyes.“Beta Estan can mindlink the guard assigned to her chamber.” The elder s
