“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
“Perfect then, I’ll bring you two into a business trip in New Orleans in the U.S tomorrow.” “W-What? What’s with the sudden trip? I mean since when our pack will enter the business?” I asked, and I bit my lip when Alpha Baron’s face darkened. “You aren’t my Luna yet but you are asking that much already.” He retaliated. “I-I’m sorry, it’s just that isn’t it a bit risky for our pack…” “Cassiopeia, if you want this pack to remain on top, then you should trust me. We have to take investments from businessmen.” “You mean humans?” “We will socialize with humans?” I asked unbelievably. “Yes, but partly no, there are packs in that country who were as rich as we do. Some were even billionaires, and I couldn’t let our pack be on the last on the list, Cassiopeia. We’ll get there to close deals, and invest. Like how other Alpha’s manage and grow their wealth.” He explained briefly, it sounded good to me. But my father didn’t take that step and didn’t go that far just to be as great as he
The pair of crimson eyes were glimmering in darkness as it comes closer to me. And I don’t think I could still run from him because I almost used my energy already. He growled before motioning an attack toward me, and I have left no choice but to close my eyes waiting for the pain to penetrate my skin. But nothing came in, and when I opened my eyes a familiar blank face greeted me. He was on his human form now, and fully naked. I quickly look away, and I could feel my cheeks red. I slowly remove the thin cloth that covers my face and handed it to him. I mean it’s not that big deal to see them naked after their shift, but I wasn’t comfortable with it. “A-Alpha Killian,” I called him. “You may look at me now, Cassiopeia.” Sighing in relief, I move my gaze at him. “You shouldn’t have startled me that way,” I commented. “Where are you currently heading Cassiopeia? It’s too dangerous for you, especially since your scars are gone.” He firmly asked instead. That’s when I remembered w
“Perfect then, I’ll bring you two into a business trip in New Orleans in the U.S tomorrow.” “W-What? What’s with the sudden trip?

“What the f*ck are you staring at?” Eyed widened, I stand up from the bench as he intimidatingly threw me a glare. It seems like he's about to burst out any minute now, his face was too red in frustration though I can't still deny the fact that he's an imitation of the God of the Moon. ‘Should I just run?’ ‘But what if I don’t meet him again?’ ‘What the hell am I thinking?’ ‘Really Cassiopeia, amidst this trouble you’ll think of that. How ridiculous?’ I wanted to slap myself for such thoughts and things happened so fast that I didn’t notice how enraged he was, he kicked the side of his tire again and again. “And what the f*ck did you just say?” He growled. “Do you even know how to fix these f*cking tires huh?” He asked pointing to his car as he moves towards me heavily. “D-Don’t come near me!” I exclaimed frightening, I slowly steps back. “You don’t understand my frustration! I Just f*cking lost a million dollars of investment!” He nagged out, he looks hopeless. I should r
In a few seconds, he held my life. And it didn’t even take long before he slowly pulled me up, with the strength he has, I won’t doubt anymore, how he was able to do that, without any much drama. “Cassiopeia, are you alright?” My eyes darted at Mr. Smith’s worried face. “I-I’m alright, Sir.” I lied, because at that certain moment, my heart was still hammering fast, and loud. I thought I would really die. When I glance at the guy who was named Ezra, there he has the wide grin on his lips. “T-Thank you.” I managed to say, despite how our first encounter went. “You owe me one, I don’t accept such word. It wasn’t in my vocabulary.” His evil grin faltered and was replace by a cold one before he turns his back and started walking away. “Ezra, let’s talk.” Mr. Smith stops him, yet the latter didn’t bother to shoot a glance. ‘Though I’m still thinking if they were really father and son.’ ‘It was such a small world right?’ “I know I lost the big investment last night, but I won’t be so
The Black Stygian packs were in complete serenity as midnight comes, only the sound of the trees crashing to each other as the wind pass by. Everyone was resting aside from Rosa who was looking at the moon brightly.“I thought you’ll be leaving the pack in no time. What happened.” A gorgeous man walks towards her, his scarlet eyes reflected with the help of the light of the moon.It wasn’t a question, but rather a sentence full of doubt, and only a confirmation and explanation from her will ease it.“I changed my mind.” Rosa bit her lip before drinking the wine in her left hand, her trembling numbness didn’t escape from Alpha Priam’s peripheral.“I wonder why. Was it because you don’t have the passport now, and can’t leave the country, as you gave it to her, to escape.”Rosa was stunned but not surprised anymore, the Alpha was smart enough. But she still tried to cover her anxiousness with a fake smile.“What are you talking about Alpha Priam? Of course, it was in my drawer, I just th
“Dad!” I watched Ezra run toward the dead Mr. Smith while I was still stunned and in disbelief at what was happening right before my eyes.People started to get out of their rooms and started feasting on the horrendous scene. Though some tried to call for help using their mobile phones. My eyes then fixed on the man who used to be very tough when I met, the man you won’t expect would shed tears. But right now, all I could see is the man who was a loving son to his father, I know despite those harsh words from him was the fact that he was trying to get his father’s attention. Even though he’s human, I am aware that in their world, if you are wealthy like them, you’ll be deprived of your parent's love since they were busy managing their business. My father told me that, but I’m lucky that my father showered me with his love despite how busy he is as the Alpha of our pack. And speaking of my father…I suddenly remembered that exact day, my twenty-first birthday which turned out to be the
It was like a bomb exploded in front of our faces. Celestine hurriedly down the pack while I was left alone in here, I wanted to run too. I wanted to see her, but my legs won’t let me. Until I just found myself lying on the floor as I stare at the pack and a group of Alpha Priam’s men who carries lifeless bodies. My heart wrenched at the sight, and my body was getting numb. Cries… Agony. The night was filled with it, while I’m here helpless, and can’t do a thing, rather let the tears freely cascade down my cheeks. I still remember how Rosa helps me, how she let me escape this cruel faith of mine. The last time we see each other was when we were in a car that was supposed to be Chantal’s day of the abduction. She let me borrow her identity and live the life that she’s been dreaming of. I stole the time from her, and it’s frustrating to think that she wasn’t able to do what she wants because of me. I closed my eyes, I felt like I lost a mother. It was tormenting. Until sunrise, I di
“O-Oh, that is…” Chantal gave the man a meaningful look, and the latter seemed to understand it. “A-Alpha Primo, you’re back! That is… completely nothing.” The man was the one who continued. “What do you mean nothing? Do you think I’m a fool?” Alpha Primo shot back. He didn’t seem to like how the two were acting. “The thing is, L-Luna Chantal here wants to look for the missing rouges. I stopped her when I saw her almost enter the dangerous forest where the rouges probably went and L-Luna Chantal…”“told me to not tell everyone about it, especially you, because you might be worried,” he continued. “Y-Yeah that’s right, Alpha. And why didn’t you tell me that you'd be back today? You should’ve sent me a message…” “I’ll come back to my pack whenever I want, Luna Chantal.” He replied firmly, completely shutting the conversation. “Y-You should go ahead, your family must be waiting for you.” Chantal shifted her gaze to the man and faked a smile. “I-I’ll be leaving Alpha, Luna.” He bow
Priam? Then he was the one who saved me from those rouges. “He has scarlet eyes…” I couldn’t help but comment. “According to Celestine, there’s a reason why his eye color is like that.” The servant retaliated. “By any chance, is there someone with the same eye color as him in your pack?” “No one, Luna.” “Let’s go, the ceremony will end soon.” She added and gently dragged me out of that place, but my mind was still captivated by the fact that Alpha Primo killed his father. Until we reached the house made of expensive woods and luxurious-looking interior design, my guilt was still haunting me.“Luna Chantal…” I bit my lip as I was called by her name again. “I-I am not…” Not able to finish my words, my eyes slowly widened when three men entered the house. “W-what are you doing? Where are you taking me?” I anxiously asked when they started handcuffing me. Priam came in from the front door with eyes as cold as ice. “Bring her to the center of the training ground.” What? “W-Wh
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 o
But to the Alpha’s surprise, Chandria slowly stands up even though she’s having a hard time walking with her injured left leg. The Alpha tried to maintain his composure and looks unbothered, it took time before Chandria reach her…“What do you think you’re doing…” He wasn’t able to finish his sentence when Chandria started kneeling in front of him, and her tears slowly glistened as it cascades down her cheeks. “P-Please Alpha, d-don’t hurt Chantal.” In the middle of their flight, there’s this woman injured kneeling in front of the Alpha, crying and begging for her sister’s life. “Please leave Chantal alone, you can do anything to me, make me your slave…”“No.” Alpha Priam’s firm voice was in finality. “Can you bring back my father’s life?” The Alpha suddenly asked, and the woman look at him with her pitiful eyes. It was full of concern and fear, based on Alpha’s observation. The woman loves her sister even though the latter treated her badly. “If you can do that… then I’ll spare
The darkroom slowly ate me as they threw me inside. I quickly flinched and tried to talk to them when I heard the sound of the keys locking me up. The greasy bars greeted me, as I watch them walk away, leaving me dumbfounded and clueless about what was happening.“Get me out of here!”“I wanted to talk to Alpha Primo! Please, let me talk to him!”“I-I’m begging you.”Until my voice slowly left me, my knees plunged onto the rough ground, frailed. What just happened?Minutes ago, my heart was full of happiness and hope, having Alpha Primo around me. Thinking that later, I’ll be his chosen Luna, and life will be easier for me, starting that moment. But what’s this? Why is this chaos happening all at once? I never saw this coming. I never see myself behind these bars where criminals end up when I didn’t even do something wrong.Why are they saying that I attempted to kill my twin sister? Where the hell did they get that? Was it even possible on my part?Then, Alpha Primo, why did he act l
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.
