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
V“P-Priam?”“So you wanted to escape, huh?” He asked in a matter-of-fact tone, and I had no choice but to step back when he moved forward. “P-please…just let me go.” “What if I just kill you here? This time no one would stop me.” He firmly uttered, making my heart beat faster. “I am not the Luna of the Silver Mist Pack, and you are mistaken. I have a twin sister, she’s Alpha Primo’s Luna. ” I tried to convince him once more, hoping that this time he'd believe me.“And so what? I am sure you’ll be a lost to your pack…” “No, you are wrong.” I don’t know where I got the audacity to cut him off. “Even if I die, it wouldn’t make any noise within the pack. The Alpha wouldn’t even…” “ Visit my grave.” I continued and met his scarlet eyes this time. “Unlike my twin sister, I am invisible.” “So you wouldn’t get anything if you killed me. You’ll just taint your hands with my blood, gaining nothing in return.” “Is that so?” “The Silver Mist Pack surely had a huge loss after the last en
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
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
Sweat dragged down my forehead, as my hands went all and forth, holding the dirty rug tightly. “And with the power given to me, to punish Chandria Raccini for her sins against the Luna Chantal, she’ll serve us for her life and will be living in jail until I am resigning as the Alpha of this pack.” Alpha Primo’s words kept on repeating inside my head. Two months had passed and I was still trying to cope with my environment. My parents? They don’t give a damn. They once visited me inside of the jail, just to tell me that I deserved this for attempting to kill my sister, they didn't even bother to ask my side. I wasn't expecting them to ask anyway. Now they’re gone, traveling abroad, fully savoring their freedom, leaving me behind, suffering behind bars, serving the Alpha and the Luna.My hands trembled in pain as they were stopped from working with the golden shoes by stepping on them. I bit my lip to prevent myself from crying out the torment. Even though I wouldn’t raise my head to
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
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
