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
“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
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
The sun started to set, as the dusk slowly took the light, I can’t help myself but to admire it, it was too mesmerizing for my eyes, it feels an honor to witness such a breathtaking scenery. As the ocean waves harmonized back and forth in a calming way, it was a piece of music to my ears. My gaze suddenly shifted to my toes curled and coated with white sand, and a small smile escaped my lips, they were like innocent little atoms trying to engage with how I am feeling right now. As the cold wind touched my skin, I slowly closed my eyes, because this is how it wanted to communicate with me. Letting the nature drag my soul into bliss. But in the blink of an eye, I was lying on the sand with my clothes full of dirt. I quickly pulled the thin cloth surrounding my neck to cover my face before I glanced at them, who pushed me off the bench where I was sitting seconds ago. "You look disgusting even if you cover those gross scars of yours, Cassiopeia!" Amara exclaimed, and they both burst i
Matthias walked toward me slowly, while I watched the pack put my father’s coffin under the grave. It feels like my heart stopped beating, knowing that I won’t be able to see the person I’ve been relying to since, ever again. The only person who accepts me, the only person who make me believe that I’m beautiful. Father… "Cassiopeia, Alpha Magnus is dead," Matthias whispered as soon as I he reached me. But does he have to tell me that bluntly when I could see the situation clearly? Is he insensitive or what? "You have to accept..." "No..." I cut him off before he could finish his sentence. Shaking my head in disbelief. This is not acceptable and will never be. I want my father back. "She is the reason why Alpha Magnus died." "The Alpha is completely dismayed because the future Luna can't shift. That caused him a heart attack." Closing my eyes as gossips and whispers started to rose. They were probably right. I am the reason why my father died, I was such a disappointment. "She
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 Silve
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 ou
“That's impossible! I-I can’t even shift!” I snarled back at him, but in the blink of an eye, he vanished. “H-Hey wait!” “God of the Moon?” “S-Sir?” I tried to call him several times but no one’s responding anymore. I feel empty in this room again, with a void presence compared to earlier. Then my eyes darted at the mirror. I slowly walk near to it, to look for a closer view of this unimaginable physique. “Y-You are me.” It’s mine. This beautiful face. I hope this time I’m not dreaming anymore, because if yes, I wouldn’t want to wake up. All my life I’ve been wanting this, just to be treated right. It sounds dramatic but this has been my desire since I was a kid. But according to the God of the Moon, when the daylight comes, the scars on my face will come back. How am I able to deal with the pack during the night only? Will they believe that I am Cassiopeia with these scars? The idea sounded absurd and there’s a higher probability that they will just laugh at me. However, at thi
