White.

That was the first thing I noticed about the strange room. Everything was a blinding white color; from the walls to the floors, even the single school chair and desk in the center. Everything was stark white, I squinted, the doors closing shut behind me as I walked further into the empty room. The fluorescent bulbs cast a bright light around the space, there were no doors, another weird detail, except the one I came in through. Four walls surrounded me, a closed window and what seemed to be a smart TV perched on the wall across me.

The screen suddenly came to life and I jumped in shock, a hand on my racing heart. I blinked as the face of a man came to view, an older-looking wolf with bright ombre eyes and a charming grin on his mouth,

"Number 95?" He asked, tilting his head a bit to the side when I remained gaping, wide-eyed, "Take a seat, dear."

I shut my mouth quickly, taking a hesitant breath as I stalked forward. The smile never left his face, eyes watching every of my move

    His throat bobbed slightly as he swallowed and when he opened his mouth, I held my breath in anticipation."Unfortunately, your result won't be announced at the moment." I frowned in confusion, "Don't worry, before the end of the day you'll get to know your status.""Oh, okay." I forced a smile on my face, playing with the torn cards on the table, "But what do you think?"His head tilted to the side, a small smile playing on his lips, "What do I think?""Yeah, do I have a chance?" My voice was small and hesitant, the expression on his face did not bode well with me.The silence that followed was unnerving, my fingers twisting anxiously. He shrugged casually, leaning back and resting against his chair,"Who knows? I'm not the judge." My shoulders slumped dejectedly, causing him to chuckle, "Your time is up, number 95. You may leave now." I muttered a reply, shakily rising to my feet before walking to the door. It closed with a soft thud behind me and I had to release a breath I hadn'

    Over the next few days, I'd turned into a celebrity of sorts. News of my outstanding performance had reached everyone's ears and I couldn't go anywhere without being looked at or watched. At first, it was easy to ignore them but soon, it became a nuisance.I couldn't go anywhere without eyes following me, I had to hide behind my hair sometimes, Paige had even changed my usual high ponytail to a wavy hairstyle, making my hair tumble down my shoulders fashionably. It didn't change the situation, I only received even more attention,"I don't think it's a bad thing." I gave her a look and she chuckled, her eyes roaming through the several dishes set out on the table. "I mean, now nobody's calling you a thief or anything. It's like they've totally forgotten about the whole incident." I scoffed, scooping a small amount of rice onto my plate, "I don't think they have." She stopped moving and veered around, "You should stop worrying, Dee. You're a sensation here now, enjoy the moment." "

    I found Paige at the end of the hall and when she noticed me approaching, she rose, waving a hand in my direction. I nodded, gripping the new tray I'd taken,"Hey," I slid into the wooden bench across from her and placed my tray on top of the table. "Sorry I took so long, I tripped earlier."She arched a brow, her spoon pausing mid-air, "You tripped?" I nodded and she narrowed her eyes suspiciously but made no comment. We ate in silence, the only sound accompanying us was the scraping of forks and spoons against the china plates. "No news of Cora yet?" I asked, lifting my eyes to stare at her.She shook her negatively, "She said she has some business outside? I don't know, when I asked earlier she was all evasive." She waved her hand dramatically."Evasive?" She hummed in agreement and I frowned, recalling the last time I'd seen the dark-haired female. Cora had been strange lately, she spent more time out of the court and was always having 'business' with someone. I remembered the

    "Wow, this is delicious."I take another huge bite from the sandwich, moaning delightfully when the flavours hit my taste buds. I heard him chuckle, however, my eyes remained closed as I relished in the wonderful sensation the food was giving me."Here, you'll like this," He handed me a small packet containing fries, I looked at him warily and he gestured for me to take it, "It's equally good, just dip it in here," He pointed at a small cup filled with ketchup.I did as he said, sliding the fry into my mouth and chewing, I grimaced, swallowing hard. He barked out a short laugh on seeing the expression on my face,"You don't like it?"I shook my head, rinsing my mouth with water, "Nope," He gave me a small grin and resumed eating, and I did the same too.We'd spent the last few minutes stuffing our faces with different food, I was surprised he had the time to put this together. When I saw the different meals laid out in front of me, my mouth was salivating. Back home, I never had the o

    Drip, Drip, Drip.The constant sound of water dropping against the floor was the only sound that I could hear. I felt weak, my head buzzed painfully and I couldn't open my eyes. Where was I?"Look, she's waking up."Heavy footsteps accompany the voice and I groaned lowly when a hand took hold of my face. "Still looks half dead to me." Another voice spoke and I forced my bleary eyes open.At first, I couldn't make out anything in the pitch blackness but slowly, my vision began to adjust and I saw him,The stranger in front of me looked haggard, his blonde scruffy and unkempt, wide blue eyes regarding me cautiously. My breath hitched and I tried to scramble away from him but I was stuck,It was then I realized that I was strapped to a chair, my legs and hands bound to the rickety metal seat. I opened my mouth to scream, it was obstructed by the cloth taped into my mouth. The reality of my situation dawned on me then,Blue eyes chuckled menacingly, "Y'know it was fun watching you wake u

    "Hey! Watch where you're going!"I weakly apologized to the woman, urging my legs to move. My throat felt scratchy and dry, I was depleted. I looked over my shoulder but the crowd made it impossible to see anything. Countless people were flocking the streets, my shoulders bumping into different people.I couldn't run further. I needed to rest.I looked behind again, and I saw them this time. Carlos was gaining in fast with blue eyes only a few paces ahead. My heart jumped to my throat, and I raced forward,The back of my legs protested, and a sharp pain in my ribs stunned me. I pushed at the people clustering around me. I felt suffocated, my chest heaving with each strained breath. I had to escape. I couldn't let them catch me.My legs slowed down, and I had to drag my feet against the asphalt. People cast me curious looks, eyeing me like I was a dangerous animal that was let loose.I knew I was a mess, my hair was all over the place. I was sure there was blood caked on my face, I w

    The doctor came a few hours later, he was a kind, bubbly man who kept asking me funny questions so I wouldn't notice the syringe piercing into my skin. After he'd bandaged my ankles and given me some painkillers, I was left alone once again. Theo came in to check up on me and made sure I ate before leaving for important work. "Would you like anything else, Miss?" My gaze flickered towards the young brunette smiling down at me, she'd bathed and changed my clothes, although, the outfit looked like it belonged to a man. The sleeves were too long, and the pants barely fitted my waist but it was more comfortable than anything I'd ever worn."No, thank you." She nodded and stalked off, closing the door softly behind her. The low classical music playing in the background was the only sound that accompanied me in the large room. My eyes traced the various tapestries hung in different corners of the room, the King was an artistic man, that much was sure.However, I didn't know where I was.

    "Miss Winchester, it's Lady Calloway." Hurriedly, I pushed myself from his lap and landed on top of the bed. When he looked at me, I turned my face away, tugging at the lapels of the shirt jacket. My heart was still thumping rhythmically and I swallowed the uneasiness building inside me,He'd almost marked me. My fingers went up to the spot, trailing the area tenderly. I could still feel it, the ghost of his canines grazing my skin,"Miss Winchester?"My eyes flew open, Lady Calloway was standing beside me. Her hard eyes accessing, from the top of my head to my curled legs and then back again, hazel eyes fell on me and I stiffened,She took in a deep breath before saying, "I'm glad you're safe." She settled on the spot close to my leg and placed a hand there, "How are you feeling?"I nodded numbly, my eyes searching the room for Theo. She must've noticed because she cleared her throat softly,"I asked him to leave us." My eyes flew to hers and she arched a brow, "What do you know ab

    |SIX YEARS LATER|Castle Black, Pack Black Haven(Capital city).Another chapter. Another day, combined with hours of waiting and anticipating his return. It is cold, dreadfully so and it seems like no matter the amount of layers I put on, I will still remain frozen. Maybe it is because I am pregnant but Paige says I should keep warm, so the child wouldn't end up a white wolf as his mother. But I am doubtful, the doctor already said that one of the children will take on my gene, I only wonder who."Your highness!"Today, I had nothing important to do, asides settling a dispute between two neighbours who claimed ownership over a goat. Unlike what I'd expected, a Queen didn't have much duties asides making sure that the capital was in order. It took months to help the beggars on the streets and even longer to put an end to alleyway bag thiefs. I had to persuade the council to fund an open house for the poor and needy plus two orphanages as well."Your Highness!!"At first, they were skep

    Gorgeous.The girl staring back at me was so unbelievably gorgeous, it shocked me to the core. Her snow blonde hair was thrown over a shoulder in beautiful waves, golden flowers were pinned in different angles of her head. Her ruby red lips would put the colour of blood to shame and kohl-rimmed eyes blinked back at me."You are truly stunning, Luna Emma," The voice from behind me was almost starling and I tore my eyes away from my reflection to stare at Lady Calloway who had an expression of awe etched on her features.I smiled grimly, looking back at the mirror. The gown I wore was a shimmering blue, the same shade as her eyes. Although she truly looked stunning, her lips were pulled down into a small frown.I blew out a heavy breath, twisting around to face the woman in front of me, "Do you really think I would be a good Queen?" I asked hesitantly, chewing on the inside of my cheek.Lady Calloway smiled gently, crouching and placing a palm above my hand, "I think you will make a gr

    I stirred on the bed, stretching my limbs with a pop. My eyelids fluttered open, lips parting to release a drawn out yawn,I winced softly, rubbing my exposed tummy. My vision was a bit blurry and I squinted when I turned towards the window, the bright morning light shining in my direction."You're awake," I whipped in the direction of the voice, my lips pulling into a lazy smile. Theo walked around the bed towards my end and leaned to press a soft kiss on my head. He was still shirtless but had donned on a different pair of pants that looked a little bit oversized. His hair was messy on top of his head and there was a twinkle in his eyes, one I hadn't seen before. "Sleep good?" I shook my head, pointing between my legs, "I feel sore," My voice came out as a small whine causing him to huff out a short laugh."I knew you would say that, hence I prepared a warm bath for you,."I frowned at his statement. Warm bath?My question was brought to a cease when he moved his hands beneath my

    The hem of my robe dragged across the floor as I walked, the candle was resting perfectly on the inside of my palm and I had to keep from wincing every time the hot wax dropped on my skin. It was dark, the moon hadn't fully risen yet all we had as illumination was the dim light of the bulbs overhead and the large rose-scented candles in our grip.The lady in front stopped suddenly, causing all of us to grind to a halt. She turned to look at me and for a moment, the corner of her lips curled upwards. Lad Calloway nudged her head towards the close door,"This is his chamber, wait inside until he comes." I inhaled deeply before expelling the air. In one swift motion, I turned towards the door and tipped my chin in a confident manner,"Open it," I said, my determined gaze set on the embellishments on the wooden entrance.Tonight was the night everyone had been anticipating, including me. The mating ceremony was a revered ritual among us, it was when two people either chosen or fated mate

    I took in a deep breath after explaining, watching warily for his reaction. His face was gloom and drawn tight, there was a little furrow between his brows which meant that he was still digesting everything.Finally, he exhaled before shifting to properly look at me, "Why didn't you tell me? I would've ripped the bastard's head right off."I smiled wryly, tightening our conjoined fingers together, "Trust me, I wanted to do that too. I debated if killing was the best idea and then choose not to do it.""Why?" He asked curiously and I chuckled softly, bumping my shoulders against his."Because," I started, drawling in a tired manner, "For people like Hansen, their lives matter less to them but their prestige on the other hand?" I shook my head, "That's what their entire world is built upon." Theo hummed thoughtfully, his eyes glazing over. Suddenly he smiled brightly, throwing an arm over my shoulder, "I'm glad I have such a smart mate."I rolled my eyes, stifling the giggle that was t

    I stared at my reflection in the large mirror, my fingers playing with the silk robe tied around my waist. After the whole contest yesterday, I was brought into the Queen's quarters and was given strict instructions not to leave there until instructed. Apparently, I had to be cleansed and purified before the mating process began.The dowager had asked me to phone my family and order them to be on their way so they would make it in time for the coronation. That was this morning and I haven't picked up my phone yet,"Black looks good on you,"I flinched, whipping around to face the intruder. Theo was casually leaning against the wall, arms crossed against his chest and a serious look in his eyes,I frowned, puzzled by his appearance, "How-when did you get here?"He shrugged, pushing himself from the wall and stalking towards me, "A while back,"I sighed and turned to face the morrow away, my fingers still fiddling with the knot in front. When he wrapped his large arms around my waist, I

    "Should I be scared or nervous?"I gave the man a grim smile, pushing the small cup of tea towards him before grabbing my own. I gingerly took a sip, savoring in the warm sweetness that invaded my tongue instantly,"Which one of the two do you think is more appropriate?" I asked, arching a brow when he pushed his cup away, a small gesture but one I caught nonetheless.I gave him a look, one he not-so-politely ignored, clearing his throat loudly, "I don't quite know, you're no longer a contestant anymore but the mate of the Alpha and future Queen of the entire werekind. It would be stupid not to feel some amount of petrification." My lips curled and I slowly placed the cup back on the table, smacking my lips together, "I'll be straight with you, Lord Hansen," That piqued his attention causing him to lean nearer, "I called you here for one specific reason,"Something akin to uneasiness flashed in his eyes but he quickly concealed it with a cocky smile, "Do tell," "Jessica." I said si

    When I was younger, I always wished that I would get like my sister's colour of wolf. Dahlia was my role model, everything she did, I copied and she loved it too so it was only natural that I got her colour. But sometimes, in the secret I would wish for my mother's colour too, hers was a beautiful grey and I loved the way the fur looked underneath the moonlight. Never in my life would I imagine being a white wolf. A wolf so powerful, they were regarded as too much for the werekind. A wolf so special, they were rare to find.So why, why did the moon goodness find me fit to become one?My eyes flew open, burning so bright and powerful. It felt like the sun was scorching me from inside and I couldn't help it. A piercing scream ripped its way from my chest and I curled into myself,My wolf emerged like lightning, spearing through my entire system. My eyes flew open and I shook my head but I realized that I wasn't in my human form anymore.Jessica looked stunned, her jaw was hanging open

    The arena was filled to the brim, I was very much certain of that. They had used the same place as the first round where we had to go through different obstacle courses, the same place where I had purposefully broken my leg in a bid to avoid what I was presently doing.I looked around me, at the wild crowd cheering and crying. Their sentences almost inaudible since they were all yelling at once, excitement and tension pooled in my stomach,My eyes met my opponent's but she wasn't focused on me, her gaze was on the crowd. She was smiling and waving at them as though they were chanting for her, probably they were I couldn't hear anything either ways. I wondered if Lord Hansen had told her that his plan had flopped and there was nothing holding me back now. I wondered if she knew just how dangerous I could be once I shifted."Werewolves and shewolves," Lady Calloway spoke through the loud microphone that carried her voice round the entire auditorium.
