EVOLET
Stepping into line with other damsels, I had my eyes hovering around the large building, hoping to spot the Alpha. But no sign of him. I was getting bored on the long queue, wishing Fiona hadn’t left to attend to an urgent work at home. But soon, that boredom was wiped off when suddenly… “Queen Chriselda!” the others cheered on seeing the Alpha’s mother, walking out of the mansion with her trusted seer, Thelma, an elderly and well-respected sorceress of our pack. Her presence bloomed every maiden’s heart, as we all bowed, welcoming the Alpha’s mother. In her sweet voice, she welcomed us all, announcing her plans for every maidens that wish to be the Luna, “The games will begin tomorrow. You need to be fully prepared for it, because it’s going to be tough. You won’t be asked questions only, but prove to my son why you’re worthy of being his Luna. Is it by your actions or by your beautiful transformations? All that would be answered when we begin.” I gulped down, recalling my mother’s harsh words, when she pointed out what the queen would do when she discovers I can’t summon my wolf. That got me praying for one thing. “Goddess, let Alpha Allen see me. Then he wouldn’t bother to go ahead with this game,” I smiled, having faith in my love for him. She wished us well in our journey and her seer reminded us of something special, that we considered a tradition in our pack. “And don’t forget to seek blessings from our beloved late Queen, Luna Violet. May her goodness be with you all,” The sorceress said, waving at us. As instructed, when a maiden signed her name down, she would walk up to the large statue of late Luna Violet, which was situated near the gate, and seek their blessings at her feet. When it came to my turn, I signed my name down with delight before rushing up to the statue, with my eyes fixed on the face of the late Queen. As far as I remember the story, the late Luna was the one who found Wolf Fall pack and made it the place it is today. She brought peace during her reign, from the Vampires, Werecats, and to the Werewolves, be it far and near. Until those creatures ganged up against we werewolves, killing our innocent Luna. Since then, werewolves have been at war with both vampires, werecats, and outsiders, which brought about the reign of Luna Chriselda, who made it her goal to lead her people to peace. She has been doing well as a leader, as well as Alpha Allen. But still, I wish I had met Luna Violet. She’s my number one role model. “Bless me, Luna Violet. I wish to be the Luna of this pack just like you, and rule with love and peace,” I prayed, lowering down to touch her feet. The moment I grazed the feet of the statue, I noticed another hand right next to mine. It wasn’t a lady’s, but… a man’s. I immediately looked to my side and found that perv from earlier, smirking at me! My whole body shivered as I drifted away from this weirdo, who carefully touched the feet of the statue and kissed his hand, saying, “May her blessings be with us forever.” Then, he directed his gaze at me again, smiling! “It’s you! Have… Have you been following me?!” I questioned out loudly, hoping to get the attention of a guard. But there was none in sight. “Following you?” the stranger laughed, swaying his head. “And what makes you think I’d waste my time chasing you? Are you from a rich family or perhaps the queen herself?” he mocked, shimmering his deep black eyes at me. What he said left me feeling embarrassed. I thought I was being too jumpy over the situation, only for this creep to prove me right in split seconds. “But if you are craving for a stalker to admire your behind, then I’d gladly be your man.” He winked, biting down on his lower lip, seductively! Pervert! I knew it! Luckily, I spotted two guards coming. I called out to them, so they’d get rid of this freak, but the perv immediately ran away before the guards could lay their eyes on him. “Creepy-crawly subvert. I pray they get you one day,” I frowned, exiting the mansion. As I journeyed home, I thought of keeping this news away from my mother, until I am able to prove to her that someone like me can get into the hunt without a wolf. “Oh Goddess! Please when the Queen asks and I tell her the truth, do touch her heart so she accepts me, or send Alpha Allen to my rescue,” I prayed, slowly arriving home. As soon as I stepped into the house, I was frightened by my mother, who greeted me from behind the door, terrifying me. “Mom, you scared me.” I smiled, trying to control my fear while stepping inside. “Where are you coming from?” she questioned, moving away from the door, and drawing nearer to me. “Fiona’s place,” I lied, trying to keep my cool while facing her with my back. “Fiona huh?” she uttered, sounding spooky. I swallowed, nodding. “I know I stayed too long with her, but she needed my help in finishing some works. But… But I still returned home early. It’s five in the ev…” Before I could complete my statement, I felt my shoulder being gripped hard and my body being turned over with speed. All of a sudden, WHAM! My head went turning to the side with force, leaving me in shock! Mom… she landed a slap across my face, causing my whole body to shiver at her action! “How dare you lie to me, Evolet?!” she roared, grabbing my shirt, and forcing me to face her. “I told you not to sign up for the hunt, but you disobeyed me! How could you?!” “What?!” I was startled by what she said. How did she know? Did she follow me to the pack? “You ungrateful child!” Furiously, she tossed me to the ground, sparking out in anger. “You thought your foolish mother wouldn’t find out, huh Evolet?! You concluded that your mother was stupid and can’t control you anymore! Isn’t that right?!” ”Mom, what are you talking about?” “SHUT IT!” She shouted, lifting her hand to smack me again. I went silent at once, afraid of getting struck on the face. But that fear soon turned into shock when Mom said in rage, “You claimed you were helping Fiona at her place, when your friend came here to tell me about your plan to get into the hunt!” “Fiona?” I was appalled, finding it hard to believe my own best friend would betray me after promising to stand by my side. “She told me everything, Eve! How you refused to listen to her words and went to the Alpha’s home despite her plea!” She kicked my legs in anger, puffing out in furyq. This has to be a lie. Fiona wouldn’t do this to me. Mom… Mom is trying to fish the truth out of me. Fiona can’t betray me.EVOLETI wanted Mom’s words about Fiona to be false, but she sounded serious, raining insults on me.This is my best friend she’s talking about!Fiona promised to support my wish in taking part in this hunt, and now Mom claims she’s the same person that told her about my plans?This can’t… I don’t believe…“After everything we discussed, you chose to insult me by disobeying my order?! You’re selfish, Evolet! A useless child!” Mom yelled, dragging me to my feet, ready to land another slap on my face.When I saw her hand swooshing at my direction, swiftly I pulled myself out of her grip, causing her to lose her balance.“Mom!” I called out worriedly, quickly grabbing her hand so she wouldn’t fall.But with the bitterness towards me, she pushed me off, not caring if I’d get hurt or not.“You want to be a Luna, huh? You want everyone to see a weakling like yourself as Wolf Fall’s Queen, right?! Then Go! Go and disgrace your home with your shamelessness! Let the whole pack know that my dau
EVOLET “Put me down! DOWN I SAY!” I roared, swinging my legs at my captor. He didn’t budge, until I began slamming my fists and biting him on the back. That’s when Mr. Perv swooshed down with speed, dropping me roughly on dry ground. I almost lost my balance, but managed to hold a tree for support. “Do you want to kill me, you Subvert?!” I groaned in anger, turning around to lash at Mr. No Good. Only for me to be startled by his action. He didn’t even give me the chance to strike. Instead, he grabbed my hands and pinned me against the tree, staring into my eyes with a growl. Fear engulfed my whole body when I saw his silver eyes flashing at me intensely, gritting his wolf teeth. Now, I was no longer looking at the man I once called a pervert, but… a beast. A strange wolf I’ve never seen before. His eyes… He looks nothing like the rest. “Don’t call me a pervert,” he groaned, drawing his face closer to mine, causing me to gulp down in fear, as I shivered in my spot. I
EVOLETI feel so ashamed of myself right nowI’m asking a stranger to pose as my wolf for the hunt, and it’s all because of that backstabbing Fiona, who thinks I can’t be the Alpha’s Luna.“You’ll just pretend to be me when it’s time. You’ll use that black smoke you created back there and switch places with me. That way I…”“Do you know what you’re saying?” Cadell asked, releasing me from his grip.I was expecting a positive response from Cadell, but it seems someone had no interest in this plan one bit.“You want me to act as your wolf because of a stupid hunt, right in the Alpha’s home?”“It’s not stupid. It’s… Look, you have to help me. I really need to impress the Queen and her son, if I want to be the future Luna. It’s not as if I don’t have a wolf, I… I just don’t know how to prove it. Come on, Cadell. Just this one, and we will both go our separate ways. I promise,” I begged, joining both palms together, hoping he would agree with me.But instead of a Yes… “And what if I say No
EVOLETI can’t believe he came after turning me down. And he’s small?“You can shrink your size? What happened to your majestic form?” I asked, rising from the ground.Cadell rolled his eyes at me but didn’t voice out. Seems someone is playing the silent treatment. Still, I’m so happy that he’s here. I feel much better.“What’s that wolf doing there?”“Isn’t that a forest wolf? How did it get into the pack?” Voices mumbled, fixing their attention on Cadell, who they mistook for a mere wolf that dwells far from we werewolves.I could hear the Beta ordering a guard to step in and take him away, only for my furious opponent to roar out in anger, coming at Cadell and I.Quickly, Cadell pushed me out of the way, as he dodge the werewolf, distracting it from attacking me.With no hesitation, he went head to head with my opponent, fighting her like a mad dog. When I saw she was distracted, I immediately ran up to her with boldness, using force to climb her back, wrapping my right arm around
QUEEN CHRISELDA“Thank the goddess for today’s game, my Queen. The performance from the damsels were more than what we expected,” Thelma said, following me towards the living room.I hummed, agreeing with what she just said. “Indeed, it was more than what we expected. Way too much,” I said, taking my mind to the strange damsel with the pet wolf.If not for her performance and the words of that lady, I would have eliminated her today. If my son is going to end up with the winner of this hunt, then the damsel must have a wolf, not a pet.A true Luna must be able to summon her beast, and that maiden can’t. “I bet she won’t last long,” I said, scoffing out.“Are you referring to the wolfless maiden from the arena?” Thelma asked, looking at me as we gradually drew closer to the living room.“Yes, that weak omega,” I answered.“Do you know what is funny, my Queen? That weakling was afraid to step out and fight when it was her turn. I was the one who pushed her out, and yet, she ended up ste
EVOLET“Thank you for staying, Derby. I was feeling kinda… lonely,” I said, holding Derby’s hands while glancing at the wolf laying his head on my lap, with a pervy smile across his face.Creep! If not for Derby that came over to see me, I wonder what Cadell would have done.He has been acting like a sick pup yearning for his mother’s touch, trying to get Derby to leave. But I wasn’t stupid.That’s a grown man pretending to be a wolf, fooling poor Derby into thinking he’s adorable and innocent.She almost left the room, but I stopped her by claiming to be lonely, so I won’t be left with Cadell.This creep has a lot of nasty things going on in that head of his.“It’s okay, Eve. I’m just happy that I have someone to talk. Honestly, I don’t have any friends. I’m just a loner who’s trying to fit in any group I find myself in,” Derby said with a smile, patting my shoulder.What she said reminded me of my own case. I don’t have friends. The one who pretended to be my bestie, turned out to b
EVOLET“Waw! This is beautiful!” I exclaimed at the sight of the beautiful large dining room.As the Queen had instructed, every Damsel that made it to the next round, came into the room in the dresses that she sent to us.I was putting on mine. A bright purple floral dress, which actually matches my name. Derby, who stood next to me at the dining room, wore a blue sparkling attire, gazing at the interior of the large room with happiness.“You can say that again. I think I’m going to explode!” she shrieked, grabbing my arm in excitement.I wanted to join her in this joyous moment, but it was ruined by Fiona, who cat walked into the dining in her own dress, a red and black floral attire.“Wow,” Derby and I had uttered on dropping our eyes on Fiona’s dress. It was the most beautiful gown in that room, outshining other maiden’s attire in the room.Other girls gawked at her sparkling dress, giving her all the attention she needed.And when Fiona was engulfed with this praises, she took a
EVOLETWhile everyone else were enjoying tonight’s dinner, I was sitting in my seat, feeling unwanted.My mood was ruined thanks to Fiona, who was stealing the Queen’s attention with her so-called angelic nature.Everything made me unhappy. Only Derby was trying to keep me smiling, until the end of the massive dinner with Queen Chriselda.As soon as it came to an end, I exited the room with derby, after the Queen left. All I wanted to do was get into my room, sleep, and forget about tonight’s dinner.But like always, someone had other plans for me.As soon as Derby and I reached a certain distance from the dining room, we heard from behind, “Where are you racing to, Queen Violet’s lookalike?”I stopped in my track on recognizing Fiona’s voice. I carefully turned around and found her with her minions, smirking directly at me, ready to ruin the remaining hours of the day for me.“What’s the matter? Are you feeling defeated already? It’s fine if you tell us how you feel, Eve. We all know
