The Ball

CHAPTER 5(NARRATOR'S POV)

AT THE BALL

Tossing his cup high up, he had the brightest smile. Now his foes would know that he had an heir.

Satisfied by the curious guests, not all were there to wish him well. 

He loved it, their depreciating egos with his victory for having a breeder who could conceive his heir.

He knew how he was viewed as an impotent but here he was having a live proof that his sperms were healthy.

Letting out a joyous triumph, he rolled his eyes at Daphne who returned a heartwarming smile at him.

Although, she was a bit nervous and shy but having the man she so much crave for beside her was fulfilling.

Her wolf darkens her gaze at him as she held his hand. She might be a breeder tonight but soon, she would take on to become his Luna.

Everything was working in place, if the world was listening, he is her obsession and she would fight for him.

She had tried her possible best to replace visenna's place in his heart. Even though he still thinks of her and mistook her for visienna at times.

Daphne was willing to exceed any length, first, she lures Fiona to her side and now, she will be taking total control of the man of her dreams.

Shifting his gaze, he suddenly wanted to see visenna but she wasn't in the hall. He purposely organized this event for her to witness what her fellow mate gave that she couldn't.

Rising up from his throne to find her, his eyes suddenly met her cartwalking from the entrance door.

How elegant and breathtaking she looks that he stood up without realizing it but then, Daphne appears before him obstructing his view.

"It's time to make the declaration"

**(VISENNA POV)***

I was taken aback, puzzled by what she said. That was impossible, I was barren or was she giving a kind of hope?

"The way you walk, retch most times, eat and wow, you've gain some weight..."

"Keep silence at once!" I ordered attempting not to raise my voice. I didn't want to hear anymore of what she has to say.

She ceased from speaking and I dismissed her almost immediately. Once she was gone, I began to reminisce over what she said.

Hastily, I jumped out of the royal tub to check myself in the mirror. To be honest, I barely noticed a thing except for the fact that I felt something grumbling in my stomach.

My wolf mave growls and nodded, then I knew. It was true! Now I could see why my wolf was so resilient, quiet and doleful.

This was so weird! I felt bemused, confused and excited. This was good news or possibly bad news.

Probably, I should tell it to cahir, his desires has come through,  I might be pregnant with his child!

Oh how I thank the moon goddess for granting my desires. I wasn't even willing to think straight.

His birthday was coming soon and I will break the news to him as a surprise! My head imagines a lot and the celebration.

This would be like a liberation for my pack.

My respect would return and I will claim my rightful place. At last, my people would gain what they deserve, their rights!

Putting on some clothes, I pace out with pride wearing me off. 

Wandering through the floors that makes this place, my ears heard whispers from the room adjacent me.

It was close to the balcony where some flower vases were placed.

The voices felt familiar, I drew closer, curious to listen because my name was mentioned in the gossip.

Luckily, the door was opened slightly and I found Fiona and Daphne speaking about who should be the rightful Luna.

"She's barren and you deserve to be in her place!" Fiona states as she files her claws.

My eyes saw Daphne chuckle evily. She was pacing to and fro with a book in her hand.

Another obsession of hers was novels, she hopes to be a writer and I vehemently disagree with that dream of hers.

She kept a quiet and cute face at Fiona as she let out an endearing little grin while saying;

"I promise to make you and cahir proud, but Visenna's still his and I don't stand a chance"

Daphne was good at pretence but I know her every secret! She was a vile who gets what she wants even if she has to kill for it.

"It's easy, we'd eliminate her" Fiona snapped.

Daphne anxiously move closer to Fiona and questions how it was possible. My eyes witnessed everything.

They were devising plans on how to kick me out of the family!

"Well there's always a way, she's a sweet, innocent and naive girl... We could just assassinate her or place a blame on her"

I gasped and stepped backward but I accidentally kicked one of the vases close to the balcony.

Their attention were averted to the noise.

"Who's there?" Fiona scrowls and I was frighten to respond.

Hastily, I intended to leave, to give caphir the news I just heard but then, Daphne suddenly appeared before me.

"Hey, visenna, what brings you here? You didn't even say hello?" Her cold voice questions as she maintains a broad smile.

My body flinches as I rested on the rail of the balcony. Daphne tried to get close to me but I ordered her to stay away.

"Don't ever come close to me! You snitch!" I wailed breathing so hard. I was trying to hold my wolf from morphing out.

These women pisses me off with their act and I would not blindly confound to it.

"Oh visenna dear, why are you being so hostile? We are a family, aren't we?" Fiona crooked voice announces as she tried to touch my face but I snap her hand away.

It wasn't time to fall in for their words, I heard everything, their plots to dethrone me or possibly want me dead!

I wouldn't fall victim and only caphir can make things right. Maybe I should just tell him about the pregnancy and their plot, that settles everything.

I know in my heart he would defend me.

"No we aren't, it's best we keep our distance" 

I stated clearly as whisk pops out from my face.

How embarrassing as they smirk at me. I folded my lips and rub my cheeks to keep mave calm from not morphing.

Her retracted mouth jabs at them as she lazily staggers to a corner, inside me.

Keeping a cold gaze at them as they tried to convince me to be close. Obviously, it was an act 

"Wait until caphir hears what you have in mind for me!" I threatened attempting to leave her sight but Fiona surfaces obstructing my path.

I was caught up in the midst of villainess. She chuckles and tried to mock me with my statement.

"Do you mean my son? The man who sees you as a slave now?"

I farrowed my brows at her, as mave lets out her claws. If I let her take control, she would devour these two women.

"I am his Luna!" I declared trying to push my way from them but their words weakens me.

My claws became fingers as I duck my head, feeling sad. Maybe blevine was wrong, I let her words get into me.

My eyes sighted caphir walking pass us and a brim of Ray flush through me. Mave licked her paws while rolling her eyes.
