ANDREA "What of this?" Lily asked as she lifted up a brown gown that left little of the imagination. I frowned as I turned around in the swivel chair. "What is that? I don’t like it, Lily. I’m not trying to seduce the man, but I just want something that is a bit comfy, but also good as a breakfast date. It shouldn’t be too outrageous," I grumbled. She gave a quick nod, and I slightly felt sorry for her. I had been changing my tastes by the second. The proof of that was based on the clothes that were scattered on the bed, but what do I do? I can’t just go to the date looking like a clown. "Should I call Avery to help me out here?" I asked quietly as I chewed at my fingers. Lily pursed her fingers at the clothes she was gathering. "I don’t know, Luna. She may be doing some duties right now. And, the head servant is never lenient when one leaves their duty posts." I sighed as I remembered how true it was. And, I could easily make her a target for some of the maids bullying. That wou
ANDREARaul sought my hands as it lay between us in the car. This was the first time that I was entering such a vehicle, and I didn’t know how to sit quietly. I didn’t help that I felt such an immense heat just by being close to Raul. I took a sideway look at him, and he had his eyes out of the widow and a small smile on his face.I looked away from him quickly, taking in the plush leather seats as I coyly slid my hand from under his. I placed my hand on my gown on my thigh, focusing on the world out there. It was then that I realised that there were a couple of youths running after each other. While howls were being heard."What's going on?" I asked, slightly confused.Raul snapped his fingers, and the driver picked up speed. "It's nothing that you have to worry about. We are on a breakfast date, and not a pack date, Andrea," He said calmly."But..."His hands squeezes mine. "Let it go and think about all the delicious food you would be consuming. A girl like you must definitely have
ANDREAI held my cream skirt with both hands as I ran down the stairs to the direction of the servant quarters. I was well aware that the guards were following behind me like a storm, but I didn’t mind much. In fact, I think I may actually be getting used to it.There was a soul which looked like Nikolai, but when I tried to look at the soul a bit, I couldn’t see him. Goddess! I can’t be imagining things at this point in my life. It would be a disaster that was waiting to happen, and that was not the right way for me to go. If there was anything, I need to make sure that the thoughts of him were eradicated from my mind, and focus on my works as the Luna of the pack.It would never be well with anyone who tried to make my life miserable in this pack, now that I was Luna. I finally turned the corner, and it was then that she noted girls in faded white clothes standing around with their heads bowed. They were about a thousand of them. The fuck?"Excuse me," I tried to say, but none of th
ANDREAI gave Avery a look as I slowly made my way into the room. "I never said so, Avery. Please, don’t put words in my mouth," I said as I made my way to the bed. Lucinda followed after me as she tried to help me with the heels. I wanted to tell her not to do it, but I was too lazy and tired right now. With a sigh, I plopped down on the bed, and allowed her to work."Well, the way you spoke to me..." Avery tried to say.I closed my eyes briefly, removing the bangles I wore. "I’m very tired Avery. I have been selecting the pack maids almost all through the day, and I need a break from it. You have no idea how stressful all these things can be."I sighed, as I opened my eyes. Avery was still looking at me as she itched her hair. "Ok, maybe, I went a bit overboard, but that is my calm voice. You know how I am, and you’re my bestie. Who else would I tease if not for you?" I asked softly.She smiled then. "You’re right. I also blew things out of proportion. I’m sorry about that," she sa
LADY MEADE"You fucking idiots," I snapped as I fanned myself with one hand. There were about three maids in the kitchen that were trying to make some sort of toast for me to eat, and they really were annoying the daylights out of me. These people couldn’t really understand how to make a princess a good dish. But, my real anger lay in that lowlife, Andrea. She didn’t deserve to be my brothers mate, and now, she wanted to rule over everything!My brothers had been better without a mate, other than the disappointment that had come into their lives. I would have to do something about it.I noted Janet was about to put in another flour, and that caused me to move to her at once. Pulling her hand off, I proceeded to hit her with the back of my fan, which caused her to scream in pain as she fell back on the floor."Do you want to kill me or something? How dare you mix in more flour? You’re such a good for nothing bastard, and you don’t deserve anything good in this damn life. Gosh! Clean t
ANDREA"Luna is looking beautiful, right?" Amelia asked softly.I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My cheeks looked sunken as though I had seen a ghost. Maybe, I had in my dream, but I just couldn’t tell anymore. Taking a deep breath, I allowed Lily to strap the blue shawl around my shoulders. It helped to highlight the minimal jewellery I had on. My outfit was a smart pant suit too, and felt so foreign on my skin."I have never dressed like this before," I said quietly.Lily’s eyes caught mine through the mirror and she smoothened the shawl a bit. "There is always a first time for everything, Luna. But, be rest assured that you carry this cloth like the queen you are. I don’t think there is anyone else who can do justice to it like you do," she said calmly.I smiled as I turned around, touching her arm softly. "Thank you, Lily. You have no idea how much I needed someone to tell me this.’She bowed in respect. "I only speak the truth."My eyes moved from her to Amelia and Lucind
LUCIENMy eyes skimmed though the desk, trying to make sense of the files on it. Where would I start sorting this mess from now? It’s so annoying that I still haven’t been able to sort out all the mess that had happened, and my brothers were actually not helping much.The cream coloured file that had the details of the North area. I calmly rose it up, trying to peruse through the file, when I heard a screech.That has never happened before. I shot out from the chair and looked around my office, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. With a growl, I made my way out of the office, only to collide with Nikolai.I cursed as we pulled back from each other. Raul was standing beside him, and he was looking quite amused as though we were comedians or something."Did you hear it?" I asked as I tried to focus on the sound I heard earlier.The two looked at each other, and shrugged. "What are you talking about?"I itched my hair as I looked down the hall, only for the sound to come again. Th
ANDREA"I think she is awake," I thought I could hear a voice that sounded dangerously like Nikolai in my mind.I tried to speak, but it was so hard to do so. So, I slowly opened my eyes instead. At first, it was hazy, but then, I could see the worried eyes of my mates. It was still so hard to tell them apart, but for some reason, I didn’t wish to. Two were on either side of my bed, holding my hands, which explained why I couldn’t move, while the other was standing, watching me. I knew at once that he was Lucien, thanks to his brooding attitude."I told you that she would be fine," the one in a cream-coloured shirt said as he held my right hand to his lips, pecking it a bit. I knew he was Raul. The fact that he had been the one giving his brothers moral boost floored me so hard, and I just wanted to thank him. No-one had ever been so worried about me before, and shown it in their mannerisms. Yes, it was not the first time I had been injured, but I know it was the first time I was i
ANDREAIt’s been a week, and I was starting to feel like myself again. There had been apologies and whatnot, but my father-in-law had not been able to do that. Instead, he walked out of the pack and told us not to find him. I still didn’t know what to think about that, but I just hoped with all I had that there would be no more problems for him in the future.Now, I was heading to the dining area to dine with my friend. It felt like the most beautiful thing in the world right now, and I didn’t wish to stop thinking about it."She is here," my friends said the moment I stepped in.Lily, Lucinda, and Amelia giggled behind me, and I rolled my eyes. Despite all of my emotions, it felt good to be able to look at my friends. They complimented my golden gown with their black, red, and silver suits. Raul and Nikolai stretched their hands towards me, and I quickly moved over to them, placing my hands in theirs. It felt so good to be able to do that and be where I was with them, and I didn’t wan
ANDREAI was seated by Lucian’s side, with Nikolai and Raul flanking us as we looked at the elders, who had their heads bowed in submission. This was so weird, and I looked at Lucian for support, and he squeezed my hand in response before facing them once more."I called you all here because you’ve really hurt me. I have been someone who has taken the pack to greater heights all through my years, but what I got when I found out about my mate was that you tried to kill her," Lucian paused for effect.He signalled to his friends, and they placed their hands on my shoulders. "This is the speech you wanted to hear, right? But I won’t give you that," he said firmly.They rose their heads as they looked at the Alpha in shock. I looked at the boys I fell in love with, and it felt like my heart was about to burst with the love I was feeling."We," they said as one. "We are sorry for everything we’ve done in this pack so far," he muttered.The shock and awe were written all over the elders fac
ANDREA'Maybe, we would definitely die here,' Kezav mumbled in panic.I shook my head lightly, hoping that wouldn’t happen. I really hoped that my mates found me quickly. If they were arguing as usual, it would be more difficult to do, so they mustn’t fight, but cooperate with each other.I swallowed hard as the pain in my wrists intensified and my eyes swarm in circles. I was so damn hungry and thirsty, but I didn’t want to eat a thing. I wondered if the elders would serve me poison or something. It would really be a waste. I still wanted to see my mates once more, and tell them how much I loved them, and hoped they would not separate me from themselves.Those thoughts died a natural death as the door suddenly creaked open. The faces of the elders were so hazy, but I knew they were coming towards me."Shut up!" They screamed suddenly.I had not realised that I had been speaking at all. I sighed as I was pulled harshly up, my wrists slowly disintegrated from my own body."Do you reall
RAULI subconsciously placed my hand over my head in a bid to control the pain that I was feeling. Goddess, what the hell was going on with me? I sighed lightly as I slowly slid my eyes open. The whole place was so hazy, and the headaches seemed to triple, like something was after me. "What happened?" I asked in a slurred tone that didn’t seem to belong to me.Licking my sticky lips, I turned around, and the whole place was slowly becoming clearer. It seemed I was in my room. No, that wasn’t a probability; I was indeed here. But wasn’t I...'They are not burning. They are still in their wolf form,' I could hear those bastards cry in panic.I could remember how one of them had taken advantage of my situation and stabbed me. Damn! It must have been a silver blade, because nothing else could have brought me down that fast. But, were my brothers able to subdue the pack too?I honestly hoped so.With a soft sigh, I calmly placed my feet on the floor as I slowly rose from the bed. At first
LADY MEADEI could hear the sounds of people screaming and shouting as I walked out of the pack house, but it didn’t deter me from moving forward. That useless Andrea had almost spoiled all my plans when she intercepted me, but I was smarter than she was with everything that I had, and she was never going to win against me.When I get out of this mess, I will have to find out how I am going to handle her. It was important to put her right in the place she belonged, and I would gladly do all that on a platter. I have had enough of her nonsense.Pulling my hoodie over my head, I moved through the shortcut to the dungeon. As usual, the prisoners were waiting to be released. It never made sense to me why they were so bitter. Well, I wouldn’t be the same as they were. I’m going to fight for myself and my future.That was enough for me to move directly to the guard I had paid. I had no idea that he was also a part of the Blue Moon Pack, but that was okay. He was definitely going to call my
LUCIANRaul hit the ground with a thud, and I swallowed the lump in my throat as I moved towards the battle. There was an unquestionable desire to kill someone who had hurt my brother, but Nikolai was faster, snapping his head out of his body. The bastard lay dismembered.I moved over to Raul, who was now in his human form and was clutching his side in pain. "Are you ok?" I managed as I shifted back. His eyes drooped close, and I could tell that he was in pain for some reason, and that hurt me a whole lot more than I could put into words. My eyes slowly accessed the injury, and I realised that it was a silver dagger that had done the fatal wound. Goddess, this was too much! How could things just shift like this? It was too painful to be real, and I hated that my brother was at the receiving end of it."You would be fine," I mumbled softly.Nikolai suddenly pulled me up, and I realised he had shifted too. "What are you doing? The whole ground is filled with bloody fights, and you keep
LUCIAN“Shift!” I screamed to the soldiers behind me as I went right into the heart of the fight.One of the men came at me and I easily pulled him by the neck before snapping his head out of his body. There were several cries around, and my eyes sought my brothers who were also busy fighting like their lives depended on it. This was a moment that we had to use all we had to get the results that we needed, and I was going to be a part of that win.“Keep fighting brothers!” I snapped through the mind-link as I turned back toward the crowd.I hit whoever was in front of me with my dagger, knowing that it was either I died or they did. The oppositions were also shifting into their wolf form, but I held on to my human form, knowing it was not yet time for me to shift.Where was that bastard?My eyes shifted to red as I tried to seek him out, and I finally found a figure hiding at the bark of a tree. It was him. I growled as I stabbed the idiot who came at me before moving over to him. Alp
ANDREAI felt like I was drowning in something, and I struggled to rise to my feet. But for some reason, I was not able to do any of that. I panted in horror, and before long, my eyes were open. I saw nothing but darkness, and the pain was mildly suffocating. What the hell was going on? I slowly tried to move my hands once more, but it seemed like they were stuck on something. I couldn’t move it, and I had the insane thought that it would get worse with time."Who is there?" I screamed in horror.There was no response. Instead, it seemed like the darkness was sinking into my own skin. No, I couldn’t be afraid of the dark right now. I must find a way to get the hell out of here. I can’t continue this way."Show yourself! I wish to be free right now because you have no idea who you’re dealing with. I’m the Luna of this damn pack, and it will always remain like that till the end of time. The Alphas of the Red Moon Pack would slay you in a second if you didn’t do something about this! I
ANDREAI watched as the boys turned around to look at me. There was worry in their eyes for me. It broke my heart that things had come to this. I had not planned to give so much pain to them, but it had happened anyway. There was definitely nothing that I could have done to stop it. But, right now, it was important to ignore my own pain and focus instead on what was happening in front of me.I took several steps towards them, my fingers curling around my robe as I looked right at them. I promise I will talk to you guys together when this is all over, but... "What’s wrong, Andrea?" Nikolai asked softly.I took a deep breath, my fingers tightening even more around the robe. "I can’t let you go," I blurted out.Raul stepped forward, his eyes soft as he looked at me. "What are you saying, Andrea? The pack needs to be protected, and I just can’t stay back just like that. It’s important to get things done. If anything bad happens to people, I will never be able to forgive myself," he said
