.ELRISTEYA.

Every head turned to me, gasps ringing out from one corner to the other in waves. I looked forward at Alec and especially fixated my gaze on Maria who did not seem only shocked that I was there but also dumbfounded. I noticed her fake lashes flutter slightly. People began to pave the way for me as I walked towards them. I avoided looking at Alec because I did not want to know the kind of expression that would be on his face. Reaching the podium, I stopped and met his mother’s angry stare.

“Why would you willingly accept what is not yours, Mariander?” I asked, dragging my gaze away from his mother and perching it on her. She blinked, her mouth opening to speak but before she could, I cut in. “This crown is mine, considering I am mated to Alec, and since he is the Alpha then I should be the Luna. Isn't that right, Alec?” I asked, glancing at him and he blinked twice before nodding in agreement.

I faced his mother and inclined my head to the side, giving her an expectant look

    .ELRISTEYA.I did not know how I reached my father’s house. All I could remember was Alec yelling after me and entering a cab then rushing into the house.I headed straight into my mother’s room, my heart beating erratically in my chest. I ignored the feeling of lifelessness that surrounded the house as I marched up the stairs. Pushing open the door, I glanced around the room and searched for my mother. I did not see any sign of her. I went down to the kitchen and yet she was not there. I searched Joe’s room before going into mine and then coming out, she was not in any of them.Where was my mother? Fear crept into my heart at the possible thought of what might have happened to her twinkled in my head. At this point, I was no longer afraid of the news of death. In fact, I was starting to brace myself.“Mom!” I called out and went back into her room. My eyes swerved to the bathroom and I instantly rushed over and opened the door.There she lay in the bathing tub, looking so numb. I ran

    Everyone was shocked. Who had called for a party in the pack?People began to troop in one by one. Hadn't the recent crowning been done here? They got themselves busy with free drinks and food. Never has it been in history that parties as lavish as this one have been held back to back. The pack members were well aware of just how managing the Alpha and Luna had been. Their fist was so tight. Alec’s parents walked down the stairs, confusion etched on their faces. Maria walked alongside them, baffled as well. No one had the power to do it except the Alpha and Luna, the crowned Luna, who cannot be the one behind this because she was in prison, and the acting Alpha… who in this case is fighting for his life in the hospital.“What is happening?” Alec’s mother turned to her husband as she gave him a questioning look. The man shrugged. “I’m not aware of anything.”They both turned to Maria but as they saw the expression on her face, they did not bother to ask her because the answer was etc

    .ELRISTEYA.“Elris!” My mother's voice rang out from the kitchen and I blew out a deep breath. I rose from the chair and went to meet her in the kitchen. The smell of her sweet-scented honey cookies wafted into my nostrils and a smile curled at the edges of my lips.“Mom,” I called, taking a seat as I reached out for the tray of cookies. She used the spatula to hit my hand and I reared back with a wince, gripping my hand as I scrunched my face.“Mom, that hurts.” I cried and she uttered a scoff.“These cookies are not for you. Someone moved in next door. Welcome him with the cookies.” My brows furrowed. Me? I welcome someone? Wait, my mother never even welcomes people. She was always-“Are you going to go now or are you just going to sit there and stare at me?” Her voice cut through my thoughts and I picked up the tray.“If I don't come back in the next three seconds, file a missing person report,” I said over my shoulders as I used my feet to hold the door and stepped out.I tried to

    Elristeya's POV "Elris, if you do not get your ass out here, I might as well leave you." Joe's voice chimed from outside and I rolled my eyes before picking my bag and rushing out. I waved at my mother who stretched out a flask filled with fruits. My dad left early this morning so he could not drop me. You must be thinking that I might be a small kid for collecting that. Dude, who would not want a mother's show of love? Well, not me. I cherish my parents and I love fruits. That is how she does it. "Bye, mom." I waved at her and proceeded outside to meet my brother who was standing beside his truck with his eyes on his phone. He must be telling one of his numerous girlfriends that he is on the way to school. I let out a snort. "Can we leave now?" I asked him and he looked up from his phone as a hiss pierced through his lips before he stepped into the car and ignited the engine. I relaxed against the seat and brought out my phone, scrolling through the girl's group that I was in. It

    .ALECANDER.Coming here was hectic. And did I say coming? I meant running away. I thought I was finally going to have some peace and quietness but this... This is even more stressful than applying in the werewolf academy. First, it was the never ending eyes that turned to me as soon as I stepped into the compound of the school and then the endless introduction to teachers but now, it was this young girl that offered me her seat. This young girl whom I found her name to be Elristeya and my... I shook my head as I took my gaze away from her. The only young girl I had vowed to keep off. She was not meant for me. She wasn't meant for a broken person like me. And she was doing things to me and to add to it, she does not even know. I shifted in my seat. Think of what to say, Alec. My throat bobbed as I tried to open to speak but nothing came out. Speak dummy. “You could order what you want to eat.” She said with a small smile tugging at her lips as if she was happy that I finally listene

    .ELRISTEYA.I gulped hard and reached out to Joe’s hand then I dragged him to a corner with a glare directed at him.“What is the meaning of all of these? How could you trust a total stranger to take your sister home?” I whispered, ducking my head slightly to hide.He started to shake his head. “That guy over there is no stranger but my best friend.” He said and this even irritated me more. He said it with so much confidence that I might have thought that this Alec guy used some voodoo on him. I sent a quick glance at this guy, he was watching us too with a blank face then I turned back to my brother.“Yout just don't make best friends in one day or even two seconds. You need to go through trials of fights and quarrels.”His brows rose up. “Huh? Those are females friendship. Not males. You all need to go through the jealousy stage then making up stage then the stupid bestie stage but for guys, we see, we click.” He said simply.I was about to say something when he placed his finger on

    .ELRISTEYA. The Next Day, I ambled through the crowd as I looked forward to see what or who was causing the crowd and gathering attention. Well, some students always gather attention everyday, whether it was bullying a lower class student or a guy breaking up with his girlfriend who thought they would be together forever, there is always one occasion to be watched and I mean, that is the fun in school right? Lestian was yet to arrive at school and my dad had dropped me this morning since it seemed like Joe and Alec had left togther. I had overheard him speaking to Alec about racing to school together first thing in the morning so yes, he abandoned me and I could say that Alec has successfully stolen my brother's attention and left me with nothing. That brought me to remember what had happened yesterday. Alec had walked over to his window, not expecting to me there. I obviously saw how shocked he was because he went rigid and I also stilled in shock. It was like I caught a different h

    .ELRISTEYA. What the hell was that? Our eyes clashed and my body vibrated with something like current. Current? What just happened? Immediately, Alec lifted me up to my feet and shuffled away from me like I had just burnt his skin. Gaping at him, he avoided my gaze even as I tried to make him look at me. I watched his throat bobbed and beads of sweats broke out on his forehead. A muscle in his jaw ticked as his fist turned white from being clenched. What was happening to him? “Watch where you are going.” He snapped, his teeth gnashing against each other and before I could speak, he walked away from me, leaving me shocked as ever. I had gone to get my book from the teacher that had finished teaching us before the bell for lunch break was rung. I whirled around just in time to see him pass through the other section. Staring back at my palm, the lines were now quite visible and I don't know what just happened now but something happened and I was going to find out. And did I add tha

    .ALEC.I stared at the well-ironed tuxedo that was hung before me and I could not help the feeling of dread that filled my stomach. I was standing before the mirror with a towel wrapped around my waist. My father had refused that I leave the pack till I was installed as the acting Alpha and Mariander, the crowned Luna. Anger and pure fury clashed against each other in my heart and pumped into my veins.The urge the punch the mirror heightened. I stepped away instead and swiped everything on my desk away, the glasses clattering on the ground, making a noise. My chest heaved with heavy breaths as I stared at the shattered glasses. Someone rushed in and a scream rang out. I looked up to see my mother glaring daggers at me and I scoffed, turning away from her.“What is it?” I bit out, trailing the tuxedo with my fingers.“You should have gotten ready. The guests are arriving and you should be the one welcoming them and not your father.” She hissed. I caught the sight of her hands on her w

    .ALEC.As I gently lay Elris on the bed, my phone beeped and I knew who it was but I did not bother to pick it. I did not want to, at least not at this point. I was needed here. I watched Elris for a few seconds, waiting to see if she would wake or not. When she did not, I walked out of her room, closing the door gently to prevent her from waking up.I walked down the stairs, her mother’s chatter filled the air. Joe had walked out of the ward, leaving Elris and his mother. I was worried about him but with Alerix with him, I knew she would not let him hurt himself so I was a little bit relaxed.I went to meet his mother who kept talking to her. The death of her husband affected her to the extent that her head was now upside down. All she needs is just a deep sleep and she would be normal again, feeling the agony of her losing him.She looked at me and rose to her feet. “Please, take care of my children.” She said and my eyes narrowed at her. I did not understand what she meant by that

    .ELRISTEYA.I jolted out of the haze I was in and scrambled down the bed. With wide eyes, I stared at Alerix who was soaked in sweat and my heart dropped to my stomach at the fear of what she had just said. I ignored the itching on my neck.Joe was in an accident?“Where is he?” I asked, glancing around for the pair of my sandals and I found them at the corner. “He is admitted to the hospital. He is currently unconscious.” She said breathlessly. I wanted to ask her how she knew about it but I knew it was not the time to ask that so I rushed outside. Dad and Mom must not know that their son was involved in an accident. Alec got into the driver’s seat as I did also to the passenger’s seat. Alerix settled into the back seat, and without asking if we were ready or not, he ignited the car’s engine and hit the road.A few minutes later, we stopped before a hospital building and rushed down. We headed inside and Alec took the initiative to ask the nurses at the desk where he was being admit

    .ALEC.Alerix was yet to come back and Joe’s phone was unreachable. I paced to and fro as several thoughts lingered in my mind. She had hurried out of the house and I could not even ask her what was wrong. She also left her phone at home.Gosh, I was so worried about her.“Lestiana has left the city already, Alec,” Elristeya said, staring down at her fidgety fingers. No wonder she has been quiet since morning. I did not know how to console her. This was how it was going to end, I already knew since the beginning. I let out a sigh and sat close to her. “We were not even able to talk out our differences yet.” She added.I pursed my lips, contemplating the next words I was going to say. “Little Moon,” I drew her closer to her and she placed her head on my chest. “Sometimes, some issues should be left undiscussed till you get to a particular stage of maturity where they can be addressed without much arguments and with more understanding.”“But what is the guarantee that I'd meet her again

    .LESTIANA.I was finally leaving this city. I watched how my secretary moved around to do the necessary things and what did I do? I stood right on spot, feeling numb from crying through out the night. I remember what my mother had told me she video called me this morning.“Les, make sure you hide those dark eye bags. You know your father don't like seeing them.” She said, not even caring to look at me with concern. I sniffed in and nodded like the princess I was. Like the princess who could not be rebellious. Like the princess who would be told to jump and she would not ask how high it was. Like a princess who hated the title but still has to act according to it.“Yes, mother.” I swallowed hard. I stared at my mother who was quite busy arranging some files and I wanted so much to bear my heart to her. I just wanted to tell how I was feeling and why I did not want to leave this city but before I could say anything, the call got disconnected and there was no even any goodbye. I never go

    .ALEC.My stomach coiled with rage as I glared at the sleeping figure on my bed. Fury pumped through my veins in place of the blood and I could not help but seethe. How could she? How could she do that to me? I thought we were already beginning to trust each other and she could tell me everything. My first curled as I tried not to let the rage engulf me but I could not tamp the feeling of distrust. How could she not tell me that?She was keeping a lot to herself and I did not like it one bit. I was even coming off what I was. She knew how strained the relationship between my parents and me was. She knew everything about it and she hid this from me. She let out some inaudible words as she rolled to the other side of the bed. Maybe I should go for a run, I needed that. I needed to clear the fog in my head before I table this matter before her because I knew if I were to do it now, more damage would be done than repair so I turned on my heels and walked outside, the midnight air slashing
