Kyra carefully combed her hair as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She realized vaguely that her hair had grown more than it had previously. The brown texture was more prominent now. She liked it so much."Is it because of my beauty that he wants me?" She asked as her hand moved to trace the contours of her face. She was the exact replica of her mother who was one of the most beautiful Luna Queen, so Kyra knew that she was very beautiful.No matter what she had told herself since Alpha Anton had proposed to her about becoming his girlfriend, she couldn’t deny that she had thought about what it would be like if she were to become a Luna Queen like her mother. Kyra sighed as she brought her hand down from her face, and let it move down her white gown. It was beautiful enough to stand out, but she had nowhere to go actually. Yet, she chose not to nag about it and remain indoors.Cynthia has not been in her room since yesterday and she was beginning to think that alpha Anton
Yes, the garden in Alpha Anton’s pack was actually bigger than the one in her father’s pack, but Kyra did not end up enjoying her time there like she first thought she would.After seeing that lady who Cynthia said was Alpha Anton’s best friend, she kept zoning out and her mind kept going back to the lady. Because of this, her time in the garden was ruined, and she could not enjoy the scent of the flowers nor the beauty of it all. She decided to dismiss Cynthia and return to her room, but she kept having this ominous feeling, she could relax or sit still. Lying down and trying to sleep was a problem too, and she was unable to understand the cause of it.Kyra released a sigh for three umpteenth time as she moved away from the door walking haphazardly through the room. Her chest felt so tight, and she was filled with the fear that something bad was going to happen. What it was, she did not know.“Miss?” A masculine voice called with the soft rap of a knock to accompany it.Kyra paused
Kyra knew that she shouldn’t be surprised. After all, people from different packs were there when Alpha Anton nearly choked Roselyn to death because she slapped her. So, the news was bound to get out.Because she was always indoors and had no friends in the pack, Kyra had not heard about the gossip. Kyra has nearly even forgotten about that night. Nearly, because her mind was now consumed with alpha Anton’s plenty of proposals and her body’s reaction to him which she was unable to understand.Tanya leaned against the table and focused all her attention on Kyra, “So, it’s really true, huh?”Kyra’s head tilted a little to the side in confusion, “What’s really true?”“The rumors of him nearly killing Roselyn in front of everyone because of you. Your reaction already gave it away.” Then Tanya turned to look at Anton, “Why did you do it anyway? It would have been better if Kyra stood up and fought for herself. Now, she will be the target of many women because they think she’s weak. You can
“You don’t want us to be friends?” Tanya looked sad as she asked Kyra.“No,” Kya waved her hands as she quickly tried to assure Tanya, “Of course I want us to be friends. It’s just that I’ve never had a friend before so I don’t…” she trailed off and looked down again when she saw pity in Tanya’s eyes. Kyra knew that the look in Anton’s eyes must mirror Tanya’s, and she did not want their pity. Her reason for not accepting Tanya’s request to be friends quickly was not really because of this. Tanya was beautiful and bubbly, but she was giving off a vibe that Kyra could not understand. It made her weary.“Well, it’s a good thing you can now have friends.” Alpha Anton said. “Tanya and I have been friends since childhood. I don’t mind sharing her with you.”“Oh please, stop it, Anton.” Tanya’s voice came out softly as she slapped Anton on his biceps.Kiss watched the exchange with a weird feeling curling in the pit of her stomach, and she suddenly began to feel nauseous.“I think I’m goi
Why was she not feeling nauseous because of their food? Kyra thought as she rubbed her nape then she realized that it was because she was not going to eat it. It was more about her swallowing the food to her stomach than the smell.The chef was fast with whipping up something sour for Kyra. Before the chef brought the food in, alpha Anton and Tanya dropped their forks and stopped eating. When she asked them, they said they could not eat while another person at the table was not eating. They could not have her watching them like a spectator.Nothing she said moved them to eat so she gave up with slumped shoulders and listened to Tanya tell stories about her travels.Kyra felt a little jealous. She always wanted to travel and see the world. She’s read her mothers journal and it was the same for her. Her mother wanted to go on different trips with her father after she gave birth to her but unfortunately, she never got the chance because she died during childbirth. Though her mother did t
Kyra’s eyes were red and swollen that morning as she tried to concentrate on the fabric she was working on but she kept pricking herself with the needle. She’s had a bad night where she spent hours just tossing and turning on the bed, her mind running a mile per minute.Before, all she thought about was Anton’s advances and how well to avoid them and what to welcome from him. It was totally different now. She now had more than that to think about.Ever since she found out about Tanya’s existence and had one meal with her, the lady refused to let her be. Starting from when she helped her to her room that day two days ago, she was always at Kyra’s door every morning demanding that they go out together.Kyra kept giving her excuses that she was taking it easy because she was at the early stage of her pregnancy. She did not want to run around and hurt her baby.The response she got from Tanya was that the doctor already checked her and she was fine. Still, Kyra refused to leave her room
“Tanya?” Kyra’s voice was shaky and her hands were clammy as she called out again.Her deft remained planted on the floor, it felt too heavy to lift because at that moment she had the urge to bolt from the room.Tanya blinked twice before she returned to the present. She shook her head and a wide smile spread on her face, “You are done? I am trying to help you pick out what to wear.”Now, it was Kyra's turn to go into a haze. The way Tanya snapped back to her usual jolly nature was giving her a whiplash that she was even beginning to think that she imagined the whole thing.Tanya's eyes had been blank and her face scrunched in a terrible expression that made Kyra scared. Everything had disappeared and it was as if her mind was playing tricks on her.“Oh?” That was the only thing Kyra could say. Her brain was working too slow to catch up with the latest development.“Yeah, I do not want us wasting a lot of time. I wanted to make things easier for you since I sent your maid away.”“Cynt
As if Tanya knew that she would be able to convince Kyra to check out the pack with her, she already has guards and a few carriages ready for them.Kyra halted in front of the most beautiful carriage that was held open for them to climb in, “You were really sure that I would go with you?” She’s never agreed to do anything with Tanya before.“Not really. I just had hopes that you’ll not be able to resist the offer of leaving the four walls of the palace and going out to see the pack. My guess was correct.” Tanya laughed lightly as she placed her hand on one of the guard’s outstretched palm and climbed on to the carriage.Kyra followed after Tanya inside the carriage and sat opposite her, “Thanks for inviting me out.”Tanya smiled, all teeth as she rubbed her plan together in glee, “Get ready to see anything and everything and also taste all of the local foods that Anton’s palace can’t offer you.”Kyra loved the good food she ate at Anton’s palace. She really appreciated it but some loc
