The heat of the sunlight strikes my face which forces me to open my eyes. The familiar ceiling greeted me, it was my room. Getting up when a couple of images flash back into my memory.‘Was it all just a dream?’Wearing my slipper, I hurried to the toilet and look myself in the mirror. My hope slowly dispersed as I saw my scarred face visibly, gone is the beautiful woman I saw last night. Maybe everything was just really a dream.But what bothers me is the fact that Baron and Calypso killed me, was it also just a dream? A nightmare perhaps, it feels real, like everything happened before my eyes. The rebirth thing feels substantial, though does it occur in real life? Damn this is so confusing.I jumped off out of fright when three knocks ruined the silence of the room, taking me back from my thoughts.“W-Who’s there?” I asked as I walk towards the closed door.“The Alpha wants to see you, Cassiopeia.” It was a familiar voice of Matthias.“W-Why?” That’s the only word that came out of m
“That's impossible! I-I can’t even shift!” I snarled back at him, but in the blink of an eye, he vanished. “H-Hey wait!” “God of the Moon?” “S-Sir?” I tried to call him several times but no one’s responding anymore. I feel empty in this room again, with a void presence compared to earlier. Then my eyes darted at the mirror. I slowly walk near to it, to look for a closer view of this unimaginable physique. “Y-You are me.” It’s mine. This beautiful face. I hope this time I’m not dreaming anymore, because if yes, I wouldn’t want to wake up. All my life I’ve been wanting this, just to be treated right. It sounds dramatic but this has been my desire since I was a kid. But according to the God of the Moon, when the daylight comes, the scars on my face will come back. How am I able to deal with the pack during the night only? Will they believe that I am Cassiopeia with these scars? The idea sounded absurd and there’s a higher probability that they will just laugh at me. However, at th
“Get your hands off her!” Someone from behind suddenly exclaimed that taking both of our attention.And when I shift my gaze at them, there are about ten unfamiliar faces. I noticed the necklace they were wearing, it was a black half moon.“This is none of your business.” Alpha Baron bravely answered as his eyes started to turn golden again. I gulped, don’t tell me he’ll fight this group of werewolves. Even though he was strong, he could be outnumbered by them easily.“It is indeed our business. You’re inside our territory.” A calm baritone voice yet menacing erupted, and a man wearing the same necklace walked in front. But I could sense dominance making him stand out among them. He’s probably the Alpha.But what? This is their territory already? Did I run that far that I didn’t notice the boundary that kept the pack separate from each other?“Leave that girl alone.” He continued.A moment of silence fills the air.And when I glance at Alpha Baron, he was staring at me. Or more of li
“H-How…”“How did I know your name?” She cut me off continuing the question I had in mind.“I just knew.”She winks at me before shifting her gaze at the Alpha.“The Alpha will bring you to your room Cassiopeia.” She added before throwing a firm glare at the man when the latter’s forehead creased in disapproval.“You shouldn’t have acted that way, Alpha Killian. She’s the she-wolf in the prophecy…” Hera whispered yet still loud enough for me to hear. My face crumpled hearing that thing again and again.“We will talk tomorrow Cassiopeia. You should rest.” Hera faced me once again before she bowed her head and leave. Even the Alpha’s men followed her and only Alpha Killian, and me were left.It was an awkward silence for a minute before he decided to break it with a fake cough.“This way.” He calmly leads the way but why do I feel like he’s embarrassed when I witnessed how Hera treated her?But then I just disregard it and followed him.“How did Hera find out about my name?” I can’t he
“I said let me go!” I scream at the top of my lungs but this assh*le doesn’t seem to hear my tantrums.Until he finally let go of my hands and I fell onto the floor because I wasn’t prepared for it. I kneeled just to get up but I stopped moving when a pair of shoes stand by in front of me.“We have an intruder, Alpha Killian. I caught her spying on the fight. She’s claiming to be the she-wolf in the prophecy.” The man reported and I only glared at him.When I tried to meet the Alpha’s gaze he was back on his blank face.“Who are you?” He asked.“I am Cassiopeia.”My eyes automatically closed as I heard waves of laughter after saying those words as I had just spit the funniest joke they’d ever heard. Aside from the Alpha, everyone laughed.“Don’t fool me.” The Alpha retorted.“Cassiopeia isn’t in her room Alpha Killian!” One of his men exclaimed as he was chasing his breath to gasp for air. I can’t blame him though, my room was quite far from this training ground.Well, he should’ve s
“Enough!” The tension slowly dies when Hera breaks their conversation.“Alpha Baron, you came here unannounced. I know you are fully aware that there is a rule.” She calmly continued. I couldn’t trace any hint of hearing in her face.“And I’m clear since the beginning of my motive. I’ll bring that woman home.” Alpha Baron replied firmly.“Unfortunately, we let her go this morning because she asks for her freedom. I hope you understand that simple sentence. Even a three-year-old kid would understand that, so please don’t make it complicated for all of us here.” Hera retaliated in full of conviction. She knew that Alpha Killian can’t speak nicely and if she didn’t interrupt their intense conversation then probably a war has occurred already.“I believe that Hera was telling the truth, after all, she’s the most respected member of this pack.” It sounds like an insult to Alpha Killian that’s why when I shift my gaze at him, I notice how Hera was holding his arm tightly.“Well then, I’ll t
Waiting for darkness to fully took the light feels like I’m waiting for the end of the world right now. “If you’re lying then, you deserve the most severe punishment.” I was taken aback when Alpha Killian’s voice interrupted my thoughts. “Death.” I quickly look away and put back my gaze at the sunset. This is my only chance to prove that I was Cassiopeia. As his condition states that he wants to see my face changed. If not, then I’m doomed. And I would lose my chance to get back to my pack or seek help against the Alpha’s plans. It was just the two of us here and it was kinda awkward for both of us. “W-Why didn’t you even let Hera come with us?” I wanted to slap myself for voicing it out, it supposedly stayed in my mind. “So I could kill you if you’re lying.” He quickly retorted making me shiver in fear with how he delivered it. I stand up and walk toward the ocean, like how these waves move back and forth in rhythm, I also hope that this time everything will be on my side. Or a
“I’m here to apologize for my behavior last night, Cassiopeia.” Alpha Killian started walking toward me red-faced. “I just thought you were tricking.” He added before handing me the flowers in his hands. “I’m deeply sorry. I was wrong. I almost kill you. ” I bit my lip, forbidding myself to let out a small smile. Because that’s not my concern right now, I was still stunned to hear Alpha Killian apologize sincerely. In addition to that, he gave me flowers and this is the very first time I receive flowers. “D-Don’t mind it.” “As a peace offering, I have prepared a small welcome party for you tonight.” That made my jaw drop. “Welcome party?” “Yes. I’ve ordered someone to buy you a dress from the market nearby, and she’ll be here soon.” “I mean I don’t think that’s necessary Alpha Killian.” I tried my best not to sound rude or offend him because I could see how guilty he was. “These flowers are already enough Alpha,” I added and smiled. “Are you sure?” He asked worriedly. And
