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
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 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
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
