"My Luna, it's been three days!" This was accompanied by a loud bang on the door."Please open up, we're getting worried," the knock came in three rows again."At least say something, anything. Even a cough or clear of the throat. Give us a hint that you're alive.""You haven't had anything to eat. At least open up so we can bring in food." The maids and under butlers were panicking. Ophelia hadn't stepped out of her room and they were getting worried.It had been three days since Ophelia had locked herself up in her room. She had woken up and decided to hide away from the world because she couldn't come out and act as if things were normal when Finlay, who had refused to believe her, announced that he was marrying another woman and would make her his Luna. Madelyn the prostitute was whom Finlay had chosen just because he thought of her as a cheat and a list. Ophelia was going through excruciating distress. She remained locked up in her room and refused to take care of her personal h
Finlay knew what he would have felt for Madelyn would have topped likeness of Ophelia wasn't in the picture. The woman reminded him of how his life was before he moved to Easton. She was bold and could challenge him even though she had great respect for him. And she was a whore.It was hard to get his wife out of his mind.Things had been damaged since Ronan's and Sabrina's wedding in Gisburn. The way Ophelia had cheated on him and then denied it all.And his mind had been tormenting the shit out of him by showing him images of Ophelia getting fucked by the lad, Presley. That was the main reason he had Madelyn move into the castle, with plans of marrying her.The news had been going on around Easton, but it didn't change the way Finlay felt. So ugly and despicable inside because he had been living a lie and now he wanted to have another woman take what wasn't rightfully hers.Everyone knew Ophelia had cheated but mostly the castle servants didn't seem pleased about wanting to take ano
"My Luna?" Arthur Ravenscort was perplexed upon seeing Ophelia in his father's tavern."Not a word out here, Arthur," she hid her face in her hooded cloak and then bowed her head to avoid the gazes of people inside the tavern.Arthur put the jug of ale down, completely ignoring the people he was serving and then he grabbed Ophelia by the arm before leading her out of the tavern and into the room she had spent many nights, during her stay in Petersburg."I am sorry for showing up like this, I just didn't have anywhere else to go," Ophelia removed her head from the hood and Arthur's mouth parted and his eyes rose in their sockets upon seeing her without hair."What brings you here and why are you hairless?" The boy asked after recollecting himself. He was still trying to wrap his head around the fact why Luna of the Crimson Paw pack would return after she left four months ago."I need a place to stay." Ophelia fumbled with her hands."What!?" Authur uttered, "perhaps I might have mishea
"My lord," Madelyn appeared at the throne room entrance with a bright smile on her face, and Finlay looked up from his throne, past where his council of elders and some prominent men in the pack was seated, and then he caught the eyes of his wife to be. "Come," he ordered and then rose to his feet as he watched her make her way in, whilst everyone else remained silent and stared in awe.Madelyn looked different and better, in her navy blue strapless dress and her blonde hair styled in waves. She didn't look like the filthy brothel worker but like a maiden. A beautiful one of fresh quality."My lords," Madelyn bowed upon reaching where the men sat, for they were having a meeting with Finlay when she interrupted.They rose to their feet and copied her because it was known within and outside Easton that she was meant to be Luna. Aside from Hamilton, the head butler who didn't seem pleased, someone else had the same expression as him and it was no other person than Lewis Duncan, Finlay'
Ophelia was back in Petersburg not as a woman but as an Impersonated male this time, because if she had come in her old disguise, everyone would have known that she was the runaway Luna from the Crimson Paw pack. Arthur outdid himself in dressing her up as a man. He spent hours adjusting his long coats and shirts to her size and then wore her a wig and mustache. It was one of the most hilarious moments in Ophelia's life. They spent time talking about everything and nothing, whilst Arthur looked away so she could tie the bandages around her chest to flatten her breasts. Even when Arthur's father banged loudly on the door and asked what was going on, the lad said he was helping a friendOphelia was full of smiles during that hour, although she knew she would cry when she was left alone once more. "Let me go introduce you to my father," the lad said at last, feeling pleased with himself for a job well done."How do I look?" Ophelia asked as she stared at her reflection in the mirror."N
"Ophelia is missing and I need to know if she mentioned her whereabouts," Finlay said immediately Omega O'Cleigh opened the door to him.And Ophelia's father exchanged a confused glance with his wife before returning his gaze to Finlay."What do you mean by that? We left her in your care," the middle-aged man didn't very much seem pleased about what he heard from his son-in-law."So you mean she didn't come over here before leaving?" Finlay was the one puzzled this time."No," came the response from Ophelia's mother who was knitting a sweater."Shit!" Finlay cursed under his breath and turned away from them. It was exactly two days after his wife left the castle."She overheard my conversation with you and then ran off." Finlay blurted out, holding the gaze of Omega O'Cleigh."My lord, do you mean she ran off with another man?""It never crossed my mind, but now that you have…""Then I think she has every right to," Ophelia's father interrupted him."What?" Finlay could barely believe
Finlay was about to leave with some of his men to go in search of his wife when Lewis came with this unknown old man.Presley had tried as much as he could to hide himself very well, even though it felt like he would shit on his pants the whole time he was interrogated by Lewis. He had told lies which she had believed."Alpha Finlay, this man is here for you," Lewis announced when Finlay shot her a questioning look."I'm afraid he has to return later, as I am about to head out," Finlay didn't seem interested in whatever this old man had to say. All he wanted was to go in search of his wife."It is important, my lord. Something that has to do with your Luna," Presley spoke in his actual clear voice this time, he didn't feign the voice of an old man and this had everyone puzzled. Mostly Finlay.Lewis gulped uneasily and took one good look at this old man because something didn't seem right about him."What is it about my Luna?" Of course, his response had sparked interest in Finlay.Pre
Ophelia woke up that morning feeling feverish. She couldn't recall when she last fell sick because she rarely ever got sick. She felt so exhausted that she found it difficult to even get out of bed, so she just stayed there with the heavy sheet covers covering her whole but. The window was a tad open, causing cold to seep into the room, but she left it like that. She felt hot and cold at the same time, was drenched in her own sweat, and still had goosebumps in her pores.And then the urge to vomit came up, but it was already too late for her to even rise up.She emptied all the content in her stomach on the floor, making the air reek strongly of undigested food."My lady, I need to tell you something," Arthur was already opening the door and walking into the room, "Jesus," he uttered upon seeing vomit on the floor."My lady!" He dashed toward her side, looking scared, "are you alright?""I don't feel so good," Ophelia mumbled with her eyes half closed and a concerned-looking Arthur put
