ELARA"I guess you are right then. We will see later at dinner. And I will let you know if I am going to pass the night here or you will just have to go on with the plan without me." He said in a low tone and I smiled, turning around to leave. Deep down, I wanted him to hold my hand so I could feel what I felt earlier. As I took a step forward, I suddenly felt his hand holding mine, the shock wave that rapidly washed through my body was so large that I stood there at a standstill. He held her hands and I gasped as I turned to look at him in the eyes. I felt the movement of shock waves through my whole body as I looked him in the eyes. Many thoughts rushed through my mind and it was then that I knew there was something about him that was still not clear to me yet. "But what could it be?" I asked myself."Sorry...." His voice suddenly echoed and I lowered my head slightly, shaking it as he let go of my hands. I inhaled deeply as I didn't know what to do. I heaved a sigh as I looked away
SONIA"I laid there with a made-up mind that I was not going to talk to her, regardless of the words that came out of her mouth. She inhaled deeply as she stood up from the bed and walked away from me as if she was thinking of what to say but nothing was coming to her head. There was a moment of silence in the room before Lia cleared her throat slightly and started to talk."Young Luna, I think I will just leave right now. I will come back when the Luna is gone." She said and I could feel her voice hovering as if she were bowing her head. At that moment, I quickly tilted my head to look at her, turning around to leave. I immediately cleared my throat to grab her attention and she halted her steps immediately, turning back around to look at me. For a moment, I had to rethink what I had wanted to tell her."You can stay. My mother is done with what she came here to do." I heard my mother gasp in shock as she halted her steps immediately. Perhaps she wasn't expecting me to talk about her
ALLANMy heart raced all over the place. I walked around the pack, aimlessly, trying to get my mind off what had just happened. I didn't know what to do at this point. I only tried to get all the thoughts off my mind, but each time that I tried, I only thought about the whole incident with my father, replaying the whole event in my head as I walked with my hands held behind me. Suddenly, I halted my steps as something crossed my mind. "Since I was sure that I was not going to spend the night here, I should let her know beforehand so we could know how to go about the whole issue." I thought for a moment, tilting my head around to see if anyone was around but no one was in sight. "That's another opportunity to look her in the eyes and hold her hand." I smiled deeply as the thought crossed my mind, taking a few steps backwards. After a while of contemplating, I walked back to the sitting room, waiting for a maid to show up so I could ask for directions to her room. I was getting impatie
SONIA"Right! That's how it is now. You don't even care about my feelings at all. You speak to me anyhow you like because you need to get over your anger. I am the dump that gets to accept all the emotions that you throw at it. Anger, sadness, you name it. Why can't today be an exemption to such an occurrence. It's certain that I didn't make you angry in any way, nor did I add to the anger that you are already feeling. We went through all that today and now you are making it look like you are the only one that went through it or that I was the sole cause of it." She said rapidly in a low tone. For a moment, I had two options. It was either I got angry at that moment and lashed out on her or that I just thought in her direction and explained to her. She has been a great source of help to me these past few years of my life and it was not right to even talk to her in that manner. I wished she understood that it was out of anger and that I didn't really mean what I said. "But why would s
ELARAI was startled by the appearance of Allan who stood before me. "What was he doing here again and why does he have that look on his face?" I asked myself as I stood there in awe. My heart raced faster than normal not because he was the one standing there but because my thoughts wandered back to the discussion I just had with Lia. She sounded so angry and done with me."What was the shout about?" He asked, immediately he gave me that puzzled look. I looked inside, and then back at him for a while before I cleared my throat to talk."What are you asking about? How long have you been standing here and moreover, what are you doing here?" I asked rapidly as I walked out of the room, shutting the door behind me as I did not want him to have a continuous look inside the room. He shook his head for a moment and then took a deep breath as he walked behind me to the other side of the hallway before he halted his steps, forcing me to halt my own too. I tilted my head immediately to look at
ALLAN I walked out of Alpha Gunther's room and went to find where her room was. I could not help but think about what he had said to me just a few moments ago. I didn't know what else to say to him so I just walked out of the room and tried to find Elara's room. Not long after, it was as if I was getting the way back to the room slowly and then I eventually got to the hallway that led to her room. Not long after, I was standing in front of her door and then I began to hear sound coming from inside. I walked towards the door to hear them properly."You always talk to me with a bad tone. Is it because I am trying to come close to you? Talk to you and all that? I am just trying to be nice in my own little way. But you are not even trying to be nice at all. I don't know why you feel like you are bigger than me. Every time I try to talk to you, you feel maybe I am trying to pry into your affair. You really don't know that I am the only person that you have in this pack. Nobody else talks
SONIA"Are you deaf or have you suddenly lost your sense of speech?" He asked again and the urge to lash out became so serious inside of me. I wanted to tell him exactly how I felt but I just had to stay mute and listen to all he wanted to say, not uttering a single word to him."It seems that you are growing wings. Is it because I didn't punish you for what you did? What exactly is your problem? And you had the effrontery to talk to your mom the way you did." My eyes lit up in shock and then he nodded his head. I heaved a sigh as I lowered my head. Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there in front of him. "Get back to your room this minute before I descend on you. Don't make me vent my anger on you." He threatened and I turned immediately, walking away from him but something suddenly crept into my mind. "Why the hell would they treat me like this? Both of them cannot just treat me this way. What is the worst that could happen?" I asked myself as I quickly halted my steps.
SONIA"Is anything wrong with you? You seemed to be hurrying somewhere. What exactly is going on?" He asked me and for a moment, I tried to think of what to say. I tried to contemplate whether to tell them or not and then it dawned on me to tell them. I cleared my their slightly and gave each of them a pale look before I started to talk."I talked to Eli in a harsh way. I want to go in search of her to explain to her. I need her to understand that I don't mean to talk to her like that at all. It was all out of proportion. She didn't deserve to be spoken to like that." I said in a low tone as I lowered my head, trying not to talk about anything anymore. My mother chuckled, forcing me to immediately look at her in the face. She looked like she wanted to say something and then I nodded my head slightly to give her the opportunity to go ahead."I had that already taken care of. I met her on her way to the back side of the pack and then I called her to my room to talk to her. I asked her w
Elara's POV As I stood there in front of him, I couldn't bring down the pace of my heartbeat. He spoke like he knew what was going on. As if he knew that I knew what was going on with him and the head maid. I didn't know what else to do so I just kept mute and waited for him to talk but he also kept mute. I heaved a sigh as I didn't know what to do. My heart was beating fast and I couldn't do anything about it. I exhaled rapidly and just then, he stood up from the bed and walked towards the center of the room before he talked."You think you can just stay quiet while I talk? What a nerve you have developed. I don't know what it is but I have made up my mind to find out exactly who you are and if I found you wanting, I would not hesitate to kill you. You know some months ago, you suddenly went missing in the pack and then you came back, giving me a flimsy excuse. You didn't even think for once that I might punish you and out of the goodness of my heart, I accepted you back into the pa
Allan's POV My life in this pack had been so dry and full of traumatic experiences since the call off of the wedding. I tried to get on the good side of my parents but they both made me understand that the only time they would ever be happy with me was when I went back to marry Sonia. I had already made up my mind never to marry her, especially after knowing the reason behind them trying to arrange the whole marriage stuff. I tried to make excuses for them but I could not make any excuses for them at all. I wanted them to be themselves while I was myself. "You know what. I don't care if they accept me again or not. I don't care if they talk to me or not forever. They can choose to give birth to another son and fix a marriage for him or her but as for me, I cannot allow myself to be used as a bounty for some selfish goal. How can you call me your son and do all this to me? It's not done that way at all." I said to myself loudly like I was having a real conversation with myself. I hea
Sonia's POV "You know you are a cursed child right? You don't deserve me as your father. You are an illegitimate child. I don't know what it is that you are thinking but from today, I never want you to greet me or do anything that is going to concern me. Since you think that you are old enough to pull this off, you should be old enough to cater to all your needs as of today." His exact words when he found out that I was baking out of the marriage with Allan. He had since not talked to me. I didn't know how best to make him understand that I was not cut out for that kind of marriage. I didn't know what to do so I have since tried to take my mind off everything he said to me. I didn't even know why it all came to my mind this morning and I had to even sit outside my room, lost in thoughts.I suddenly felt a touch on my shoulder and I quickly looked to see who had the effrontery to touch me in such a manner. As I looked up to see who it was, my gaze fell on Eli as she stood there with a
ELARAIt was a sunny day and I could not help but wonder why all of a sudden I found myself in the past. "What really happened?" I asked myself. It was as if the witch gave us that concoction to take, it affected us and took us back in time. I saw myself in the warrior place again and then I had to go through it again. I didn't know how to go about it so I tried to forget it and focus on the pressing issues that were on the ground. I heaved a sigh as my thoughts wandered off to the fact that Levi and Sonia agreed to call off their wedding. "How did this even happen? They were supposed to get better wedded by tomorrow. What is going on with them? I never knew it would get to this point in their marriage." I said to myself. I sat there in the middle of the room as I thought about how the mating ceremony was going to be. "I just hope that I find someone who is going to love me for who I am. Not judge me for any reason and I also hope I get my wolf too." I said to myself as I sat there o
ELARA"I was thinking of that too. I have a lot of things to talk to you about. The past few weeks and perhaps months, have been tedious in terms of events. Many things unfolding and your acting strangely is enough to talk about. But I don't think you are in the right state to talk right now." He talked slowly like he was trying to carefully select his words, or perhaps he was trying to count his words as they left his mouth."I am okay. I need to talk to you about something very very important. It cannot wait. I think I have dragged this for too long and it is starting to affect me, you, and the entire castle." I said, trying to sit up on the bed and he aided me. He arranged the pillow to support my back and I smiled slightly."I think I have an idea about what you are about to talk about. See, I have been having these dreams. Very disturbing and alarming. There were many people there but you weren't there. Your brother, Allan is there and also the daughter of alpha Gunther is there
KING GREGOR "Your majesty. We found your wife." The head of the guards broke the news to me moments after I gave him an order to find her wherever she went. I sat there in the room, facing the window. I reflected on the past few days, weeks, and months. Many things have happened within the past few weeks. Things that I really can't explain and I don't have the explanation of. First, it was the sudden changes that Arianna started to show. She acted so differently and I just had to ignore all of it. Then followed, was her sudden claim of memory loss. I don't know but I seemed to believe her.As if all these weren't enough to mess with my mental health, the dreams started to come up. Unexplainable dreams that could raise my doubt in ten folds. It would have been better if the witch were able to translate the dreams but she was of little or no help at all. Above all, the most surprising thing was my sudden likeness for Arianna. I never liked her before. The only reason I was involved wit
ELARAI opened my eyes suddenly and the first thing I saw was this magnificent creature. It looked like someone that I had seen before. No! I cannot be here. This was not how I planned this to go. I kept trying to make myself believe that I was sleeping and then the voice came at me."Elara! I suppose you know where you are presently. What happened to you? Why were you stirred off what you wanted to go and do? You begged for a chance and you got the chance but what did you choose to do?" I felt a sting in my heart as I recalled the day that I was begging the moon goddess for a second chance. A chance to go and avenge my death and that of my unborn child. "I don't know where to start. Perhaps it was as easy as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be easy to carry out the whole plan I had in mind but it was tougher than I thought. There were a lot of constraints. The person whose body I woke up in had a life of her own and it just mixed up with the whole thing. At so
SONIA"No, you didn't do anything. As a matter of fact, we had just finished what we wanted to iron out. We were just about to step out of the room and come downstairs to join them for breakfast. How are you?" He ended his statement with an awkward question. His facial expression said it all. If only he could take back his words, he would not hesitate. "How had he always perceived Eli?" That was something that I had never asked him. I didn't want to sound awkward so I just kept mute and waited for her to talk. Many thoughts rushed through my mind and just when she wanted to talk, I could not afford her to tell him what happened the previous day, I cleared my throat slightly to talk and then their attention turned towards me."You know you don't have to be so formal right? We could go back to the way that we have been doing. The small plays and everything. Things might not be as you think they are. Right, Allan." I could not deny the fact that it felt extremely awkward saying all that
SONIAI knew for sure that it was Eli who was standing in front of the door. "What could she be looking for? Did the alpha send it to us? Many thoughts rushed through my mind as I looked at the doorknob and also the face of Allan as he also looked at the doorknob. I thought of ignoring the knock but not long after, the knock came on the door again and I had to heave a sigh. "Even if I needed this interruption, it was too quickly. She should have waited for us to finish all this before she came to knock on the door." I thought for a while.I walked towards the door slowly but hastened my steps as the knock came again and stayed frequent. I could not take my mind off what had happened earlier. I didn't know what to do or how to go about it. "Perhaps he might be feeling awkward and timid after the show or perhaps he enjoyed it as much as I did. Whichever way it is or however it is, I am not fazed by anything." I said to myself as I reached for the doorknob and quickly pulled it to see wh
