CHAPTER 109~3RD PERSON’S POV~“So, explain to me why you’re here on such short notice,” Anaya said, then took a sip from her morning tea. She had already provided a room for Gabriella, and a night had already passed since her arrival. Some maids came by with their breakfast, and Gabriella answered.“Well, a lot has happened since you left the Mortimer mansion, and I alone could never be able to explain it all, so I’m just going to give you the most important details.”Anaya put down her cup of coffee and leaned forward. “Go on.”“I found my mate, and for a while I thought we were actually becoming really close, but he ended up rejecting me. I didn’t know what else to do, so I ran away from the mansion so I’d never see him again,” Gabriella said.“Oh my, that’s terrible; why would he do such a thing?” Anaya asked, walking to Gabriella’s side.“Well, it’s a little complicated; that’s the part I can’t really explain alone,” Gabriella replied."Whatever the reason, you’re welcome to stay
CHAPTER 110~3RD PERSON’S POV~Lady Anaya’s coach stopped in front of a large building. Multiple women waited outside the doors of the building with smiles on their faces, some trying their best to contain the excitement that boiled within them.Edith usually does all the shopping for Anaya, but today, Anaya was at their store herself to buy clothes. It was an honor for the humans who worked here and a blessing from the moon goddess for the werewolves.“I can’t believe Lady Anaya called herself to have the entire store closed for her. After today, this boutique will become the most popular in Mystic Meadows and the entire world.” One of the younger women who waited at the door said.“It already is, Mary. But Anaya being here definitely is something. You’re a hard worker; this might be your one opportunity to make a name for yourself. So, behave,” an older woman who stood beside her said.The young girl smiled at the woman, then turned back to the coach.“Are you really sure about this?
CHAPTER 111~3RD PERSON’S POV~“P-Pardon? She’s your daughter. I’ve never heard of her before,” Mary said, staring at Gabriella as the warrior wolves brought her into the building.“Oh, don’t get me wrong. She’s the daughter of a close friend, but she’s like a daughter to me. I brought her here with me to get her some nice clothes too,” Anaya said, then giggled after. Mary stared at her for a moment, then turned back to Gabriella. “She’s gorgeous,” she said softly.“Hi, sorry about that. The crowd wouldn’t let me get through,” Gabriella said, struggling to walk toward them.“What’s wrong with your legs?” Mary asked.“Oh, it’s this dress. I feel like my legs are tied together, so it’s really hard to move,” Gabriella answered.“Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it, because this is the kind of dress you’ll be wearing henceforth. No more servant clothes and dirty chores for you; from now on, you get to experience what it’s like to be one of the higher-ups,” Anaya said with a smile, patting
CHAPTER 112~3RD PERSON’S POV~“Meredith, you look... different,” Derren said softly with a surprised look."Please don’t call me that. The fact that you’re my brother still hasn’t sunk in yet,” Gabriella said. She let out a sigh and continued, “Just call me Gabriella.”“Alright, I can work with that. Did you come alone?” Derren asked.“Umm... yeah. I didn’t want anyone to know I was coming here,” Gabriella replied.Derren remained silent, staring at Gabriella. She looked completely different from the way she was the first time they met. She was no longer wearing those servant clothes, and she wore makeup like she was a supermodel. Her hair looked a lot more decent, and the way she walked was very classy.Derren continued to stare at her for a few minutes until Maria suddenly slammed her left palm into his head, yelling, “Won’t you offer her a place to sit down?"Derren slowly turned to Maria and replied, raising his shoulders slowly, “I was going to."******“So, what questions would
CHAPTER 113~3RD PERSON’S POV~“Lady Annaya, I haven’t seen Gabriella all day; has she left?” Edith asked as she walked into Lady Anaya’s room. She was holding a basket and came to pick up some dirty clothes from her room.As she walked toward the wardrobe, Lady Anaya, who was sitting before her mirror, answered, “Gabriella didn’t leave; she left really early so she could make it to Alpha Derren’s pack."“She went to Alpha Derren’s pack? What for?” Edith asked, turning to Anaya.“She didn’t tell me. All she said was that seeing him is really important, and she will only tell me her reasons after she returns,” Anaya said as her lips curled into a knowing smirk.“That look on your face,” Edith said. She turned back to the wardrobe and continued, “You were expecting this, weren’t you?”“No, no. I wasn’t expecting her to go to Alpha Derren’s pack; in fact, I don’t know what she has gone to do there. But I was expecting her to do something that would confirm my suspicions, and if her reaso
CHAPTER 114~3RD PERSON’S POV~~DARK MOON PACK~Somewhere beneath the Mortimer mansion, where no light reached, Gregory walked silently in a small room. Its walls were painted dark gray, and there was only one lightbulb hanging from its ceiling. The clinking of chains came from a completely dark end of the room, and after a few moments, a voice followed.“What are you doing here?"Gregory let out a sigh and crouched down. “My alpha asked me to check if you were still alive, so I’ll be taking my leave now.” Gregroy stood up again and turned around. He was about to leave when the man in the darkness spoke again.“Why are you keeping me here? It’s been years. Just end my life so I can rest in peace,” he said with a hoarse voice.“You know, that’s exactly what we don’t want. After all the atrocities you’ve committed against werewolfkind, you deserve nothing but a painful, miserable life. I want to make sure you go through hell here, just in case you manage dodging the actual hell,” Gregor
CHAPTER 115~3RD PERSONS POV~~DARK MOON PACK~“My lord, I didn’t want to ask this before, but why did you ask me to go make sure that old man was still alive? He’s committed heinous atrocities, and it’s been years since we kept him down there. Isn’t it for the best if he just ends up dying?” Gregory asked. He sat on the other side of Steven’s desk inside his office. Steven leaned forward, locked his fingers together, and rested his elbows on the table. “What do you think my reasons are?” Steven asked, staring directly into Gregory’s eyes. He carried a blank, emotionless expression on his face; it seemed the happiness he had in his eyes before Gabriella left was completely gone.“Well, I don’t know; that’s why I’m asking,” Gregory replied.“Of course you don’t. A while ago, I got information that Alpha Derren killed the rouge king and put an end to the rogues forever,” Steven said.“But that’s impossible; the rogue king is in our custody; he’s been here for years,” Gregory said with s
CHAPTER 116~3RD PERSON’S POV~“Where do you think you're running off to? The party isn't over yet.”“Excuse me?” Anaya asked.“Your fellow council members threw a party to celebrate you; don't you think it's a bit rude to just walk out like that? The main event hasn't even started yet." The man said with a smirk, his eyes still glowing bright red.“Get your filthy hand off me. I remain your superior until I step down, and I will leave whenever I please,” Anaya yelled, pulling her hand out of his tight grip.“Oooh, why so aggressive? We're only trying to be good friends and colleagues,” he said, moving back slowly."Oh, please, you can drop the act now. I know exactly what's going on here. I saw through your schemes the moment I stepped through that door. Where are the real council members?” Anaya asked, her eyes glowing a golden yellow.“Hahahaha. As always, you've proven to be a lot smarter than anyone thinks. Unfortunately, your brains won't do you any good here; all the council me
