What does it mean?“Yes, I am a member of this pack, Chandria. Alpha Priam called and hired me to train you.” She added, all the questions in my mind were probably written on my face right now. That’s why, even though I am not saying a word, she already knew what I was thinking. “Alpha Priam saved me in the forest when my pack kicked me out as someone set me up, and everyone thinks that I betrayed them.” She started. “Like what happened to you? But yours is pretty much worse. I guess the pack doesn’t want me dead. They just don’t want me lingering around them, they can’t trust me.” “He took me here in the pack, fed me, gave me clean clothes to wear, and gave me a reason to live, as I was really hopeless at that time, because nothing hurts being neglected by the pack that you had grown up.”I nodded, I could understand where the pain was coming from. Based on my experience, it feels like your own mother doesn’t want you. That’s how we foresee our pack. “As a token, after Alpha Phil
A complete silence reigns at Celestine’s question. It was deafening as we weigh Alpha’s next words. “Nothing looks lovely to a woman who imitates someone else.” His cold baritone voice fills the whole room, and it hits me hard. “I don’t know why am I a need here, Rosa. Just make sure she is ready tomorrow.” Those are the only words he uttered before he fled out of the room. “Don’t mind the Alpha Chandria, you look stunning in that dress.” Celestine tried to cheer me up, but I don’t think that will do. After a few more fittings and a make-up session, “Let’s wrapped everything here!” Rosa exclaimed as she clap her hands. “You did great Chandria, I know you’ll nail it.” It was Celestine again as she even raised her right hand and waved it before they bid their goodbyes and left me alone. The soft mattress touches my back as I feel tired. It was a long day, and I’m sure tomorrow will be pretty much prolonged. ‘Can I do it?’ ‘What if Alpha Primo caught me in the act?’ Such questio
Turning my back, my heart started to pump fast. ‘Not now, Sabrina please.’“Sierra, could you look at them for me? I’ll just call Mr. Scott,” Sabrina whispered after she stood beside me. “Uhm, Sab…” I called her. Was it possible for her to realize that I didn’t want it without saying anything? “Come on Sab, you’ll give Sierra those rude customers? Give her a break, I’ll do it.” Kevin suddenly intervened before winking at me and going straight to the counter area. It was a relief, but it felt like there were eyes lingering still around me, penetrating from a distance. “I’m sorry Sab,” I whispered, genuinely apologetic as I met her gaze. I mean what she was asking wasn’t that hard, it was just that those customers happened to be my parents. “No, it’s fine Sierra. Not a big deal. You should at least give Kevin a chance, huh.” She shot back and smiled teasingly before she left me. I quickly followed her, not minding them, who were probably thinking I was weird for not even facing the

“Luna Chantal has been freed by Alpha Priam, instead of killing her. According to Rosa, the Silver Mist Pack was about to attack around midnight, and they called for a backup from their allied pack.” Those were the words that greeted us when we arrived at the pack early this morning. I shortly glanced at Alpha Priam whose face remains blank as usual. They let Chantal go? That’s quite a relief to know. I’ve been overthinking the entire flight what’s going on here if they were torturing my sister because based on what the Alpha and I talked about back in the plane, he seemed determined to kill my sister. “Please call Rosa, I need to talk to her tomorrow.” Alpha Priam replied. ‘Oh no, was Rosa in trouble for freeing my sister?’ The latter just nods before bowing his head, his stolen glance didn’t escape from my eyes. He looks awkward looking at me, and so do I. Since Falcon, one of the Alpha men still carries me. Alpha Priam leaves without saying a word but the man carrying me seem
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 didn’t
Brittany. ‘How on earth?’ “Let’s go Chandria,” Celestine uttered, and Falcon carried me out of the room. As our eyes met, there was nothing but… Hatred. “Leave us alone, Falcon. I’ll take care of her, thank you.” Celestine gently helps me stand after Falcon put me down. To my shock, I didn’t notice that we were in my room already. “Chandria, you should’ve fought,” Celestine commented as long as I was able to sit on the mattress. She started removing the bandage on me, as it was tainted by blood already. “Calista has been always a war freak since she was a kid and….” “Rosa has a daughter?” I asked cutting her off. She stops what her doing and looks me in the eyes. She heaved a deep sigh and smiled a bit, “Yeah. She said, she throws her out in the human world so she would have a different destiny. She even told me that she was gaining all her strength and courage to meet her and tell her that she’s mother…” That’s the reason why she was prepared to live in the city. “But…” “I
“No, it was my mother’s real name, right? Should I call you Chandria then?” Britanny’s voice mixed with the sound of the rain drop on the ground, and this time I met her gaze. “It was your fault, I wasn’t able to see my mom alive, because of you.” She continued, and walk towards me. The black heels she is wearing made her more look dominating at this moment with me kneeling on the floor. “I wanted to slap you so hard. I wanted to strangle your hair...” “Then do it…” I cut her off. “If that would ease the pain, then do it,” I added, I understand her. She needs someone who’ll take all her pain, and if that would be me, then that would be better. I hope, at least. “No, I want you to bring all the guilt in those hearts of yours. I won’t lay you a finger, rather I’ll make you remember day by day that you are the reason why a daughter who yearns for her mother’s touch for years will never be able to experience a such dream.” Despite the water that was flowing on our faces, I saw how h
