The conversation last night between Calypso and Alpha Baron forbids me to sleep last night after what I heard. I tried to distract myself by packing all my things, but still, Alpha Baron’s words kept repeating at the back of my head. He’s up for my wealth, and in the end, it was Calypso who’ll choose. That was his f*cking plan, and I almost fell on it if I didn’t have the opportunity to eavesdrop on their conversation, then probably I will end up being rejected and killed in the end. But now that I got to know his plans, I will counter them even if the last option I have in mind will put my life at risk. “Cassiopeia, we will be leaving.” A couple of knocks followed by Ben’s voice ruined my thoughts. “I’m ready,” I replied and grab my baggage in my left hand as I head my way out of the room. Alpha Baron, Calypso, Ben, and Draco if I’m not mistaken were already waiting for me in the lobby area. Alpha Baron was seating with a newspaper in his hand, while Calypso drinking wine with a
‘How on earth does he able to enter my unit?’ It was a huge question, as the door was locked when I entered. There’s no sign that it has been a break. It was also impossible that he jumps off from the ground to my veranda, as far as I remember, my unit is on the fiftieth floor. His crimson eyes were piercing me. “I told you, we have the same blood running in our veins.” I reminded him trying to strengthen my voice, but beneath was a fear that slowly succumb to my system. “Oh really huh, then why aren’t you shifting sweetie? And your smell was different.” He shot back, wearing a wide grin on his face. ‘Get yourselves together, Chandria.’ “Maybe accepting Britanny’s offer was your biggest regret at this moment huh? That brat somehow chose a perfect portrayer for her, but unfortunately not my fiancée but an ideal meal for tonight.” Being weak is the last thing I should think of, there’s no one here to save me. I hurriedly run towards the kitchen and got the biggest knife I have 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 b
“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 run,
Staring at the moon from a distance made me think how unfair this world is for an ugly and weak one. Things would be so much different if I was born without these scars on my face and was able to shift.Tears continuously cascaded down my cheeks. I was rejected and declined. I will never gain the love and respect I’ve been longing for from the pack, and now that Alpha Magnus, my father, is dead, it’s completely impossible. One more wrenching truth is that Calypso, the only friend I had, betrayed me. For what? Because of power? I thought that only applied to humans and the people in what they call the government, but it seems like it also occurs in us. Because of the power, she’ll obtain, she has forgotten the friendship we had.“From now on, you’ll be one of my slaves and will serve me for your whole life.”Hearing Alpha Baron’s voice again inside my head brings me back to the pain of rejection again and again. From being the daughter of Alpha Magnus and the future Luna of the Silver
“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
Three days had passed, and we could still feel the grief in the pack. After I collapsed in front of Rosa’s grave, I woke up on my bed already. Celestine told me that it was Falcon who brought me to my room.“Chandria, are you sure that your leg doesn’t hurt anymore?” Celestine asked with her worried face as usual.“Of course, don’t worry about me Celestine. Have you forgotten that my doctor is beautiful and great?” I shot back.“Silly, I was just wondering, it’s only been three days…”“I’m fine, Celestine. Really,” I smiled genuinely, and hoping it would work this time.“The sun is getting hotter; we should leave now.” I reminded her. She heaved a sigh before giving me a nod.“Alright, if your legs started to cramp, just tell me, okay?”After jailing myself inside of my room for three days, I decided to go out with Celestine, and come with her to the public market.“Here, cover yourself.” She handed me a thin cloth, wide enough to cover my face.“Who knows, someone from the Silver Mis
“W-What?” I finally asked, I probably heard it wrong. But she only gave me chuckles.“It would be better if you’ll just keep your mouth shut, Sierra. Their family was powerful, they could tamper with the truth with their money so spilling out their only secret in the public is just a waste of time. It will put you in danger and they could kill you with just one call with their connection.” Britanny spills such words like it was just a type of cup of tea for her. “S-since when?” I asked. “When father gave me the news about the arranged marriage with the Elkins’ heir, I made research. And some whereabouts across social media were connected to their family, there were anonymous posting that they were monsters hiding in descent clothes. And it piques my interest.” “Until I saw it with my two eyes, a hairy black huge wolf, with his long canines digging a young woman’s flesh, and when he transformed back to his human form, it was a well-respected son of the business tycoon whom I bound t
