The sun was shining brightly over the training area, and a cool wind was rustling the leaves of the nearby trees. Leo was waiting for me with his dependable, self-assured smile, brandishing a bow and arrow. He had invited me to teach me how to use shoot arrows but trust me, I am a badass archer but it's another day to pretend like a beginner.

Leo said to me as I walked up to him, "Anna, I've decided that I'm going to teach you how to use a bow and arrow today."

The smile that was pulling at the edges of my lips wouldn't go away. It was all nearly too much to take in the irony. And here I was, going to get archery instruction from the son of the Alpha, the guy I was supposed to hate.

I said politely, "Sure, Leo," my words belying the fierce will inside. If only he knew how many years I had spent honing my archery skills and accuracy. Thanks to the burning anger of revenge in me.

Pretending to be a beginner, I carefully accepted the bow and arrow Leo gave. I purposefully shot the arro

    I was alone myself in my room thinking about my old life when things were easier and people were nicer. When I couldn't sleep, my mother would come tell me bedtime stories to me as she sat beside my bed. I recalled a specific story my mother used to tell, about a courageous wolf that defied all obstacles to defend the people he loved. The brave wolf Luna, the protagonist of the tale, had to overcome unfathomable obstacles in a world where danger was there at every turn. But like the moon that kept watch over him, he persisted, his strength and will unshakeable.A grin of bittersweet recollections flickered over my lips as I remembered my mother's stories. It was a grin that was both warm and depressing. I missed those times, missed feeling my mother's soft hand on my forehead and hearing her voice telling me stories of courage. However, my smile vanished as soon as it surfaced, making room for the well-known pain in my chest. My parents' cruel and sudden deaths left me with a wound

  • LUNA ANNA'S REVENGE    Leo's reputation

    Although I am in Sunshine pack to take revenge, that doesn't stop me from not defending Leo. What I hate most in my life is injustice and anyone that seemed unjust, I will deal with them severely. The news of the maid who tried to seduce Leo has spread around the palace and it has reached the Alpha's ears. The Alpha was furious that someone could falsely accuse his son with that great offence. If the maid had succeeded, that would have ruined Leo's reputation and no one would respect him anymore in the pack. The Alpha summoned Leo and I into his room to discuss about the allegation. I felt little uneasy as we walked inside the Alpha's room. The Alpha exudes power and has this kind of aura that commands respect. The Alpha ushered us in and asked us to sit down comfortably. As Leo sat down, I saw that his face was calm yet somewhat tense. I could tell he was really affected by this circumstance since he was both protective and proud. With a fixed look, I sat down next him.Leaning f

    I made my way to the mountain top, a place in the pack that makes me feel peace as well as sadness because from the mountain, I could see the ruins of the Moondawn pack. I had always visited this place since I was a maid in the palace which serves as a reminder that I must take revenge. But now that I am lonely, I decided to come here to take in fresh air. I climbed the mountain, my footsteps resounding in this quiet place. This mountain seemed difficult to climb and my leg hurts anytime I climb up previously, but now, I am used to it and I feel less pain. After reaching the peak, the whole world was at my feet. The great, living expanse of Leo's pack's territory fanned out to one side, the barren ground that surrounded the Sunshine pack to the other. I took a seat on the cold granite, my thoughts grounded by the rough stone under me. I could think about my goal, my vow of revenge, here. This fire had been kindled inside of me by the deaths of my parents, and I couldn't go to sleep

  • LUNA ANNA'S REVENGE    My secret is about to be revealed

    Like a thick cloud, the approaching full moon night threw a lengthy, unavoidable shadow over me. My heart was seized by fear, which became more powerful every day. I was afraid because I had secrets that I couldn't afford to reveal to the pack, and the full moon night was drawing near.It was easy to hide my real identity when I was a maid but now that I am Leo's mate, it is impossible for me to conceal my real identity especially when I have not performed the wedding night rites with Leo. I felt the walls closing in on me as I walked back and forth in my room. It was much too urgent to find a solution. Leo finding out who I really was before I could tell him myself was the last thing I wanted. But as time went on, that prospect seemed more likely and threatened to overshadow my newly discovered bliss.I paused in front of the mirror and stared at my image. I was not the Luna I had been born to be, not at all, the girl who peered back at me. Her whole life had been spent hiding who s

    My room was bathed in a silvery brightness from the beautiful moonlight that filled the night. I was so anxious to see Leo that I felt like I had a fever. I had invited him to my room, telling him that I wanted to appreciate his kindness for getting me a sword but that was totally a lie since I had another motive. Leo came into my room, and I smiled to welcome him. I pointed to the little table where a bottle of white wine was waiting to be opened. With a warm, gentle voice, I said, "Leo, I have been thinking about that sword you gave me and I haven't really thanked you enough."Leo dismissed my thanks with a casual shrug. "You don't have to thank me for it. You deserved the sword since you are progressing well in our trainings and I felt you needed your own sword." I took the cork out of the bottle and poured the shimmering liquid into two glasses. Silently, we raise our glasses in a toast, the moonlight glistening on the crystal-clear wine.We drank and spoke, covering a wide ran
