Startling at the huge man who suddenly blocked my vision, embarrassment fills my sanity seeing the man I was looking for right in front of me.“Again, why are you following me?” He sternly asked, his blank face remaining as it is, gone is the playful one, and I’d rather see the latter than him being this serious.“I-I wasn’t…”“You can’t fool me.” He quickly cut me off before turning around, not saying a word after that.“H-Hey wait…”‘Damn Cassiopeia, why did you even call him?’He didn’t stop walking so I followed him, and exclaimed, the words I hadn’t said that day. Maybe I did, but not a genuine one or it automatically slips from my lips without thinking that he really saved my life.“Thank you, Ezra.” His name was quite strange when it escapes from my lips, and it made him stop moving.“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t accept such words? Time will come that you must give me back that favor.”He started walking out after saying those words. If he says so, then be it. I just hope tha
“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 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 huge
The Alpha Baron walks toward the table near him and started pouring his favorite wine into an empty glass. He walked toward the veranda and lets the fresh air welcomes him back, it was almost nine in the evening yet everyone was already asleep like how he ordered Matthias.Seeing the whole pack makes him crave a larger territory, and he hopes that he could redeem this small town, up to the whole country of Russia. He also wants to take over some cities in the rich country of the U.S, and he’ll start with the Smith Empire and the billion-dollar cost of other properties that will soon be put under his name. He doesn’t worry much about Mr. Smith’s son. The latter seemed to be not interested in his father’s assets and chattels. A small smirk escapes his lips as he remembered how the wealthy businessman, Mr. Smith begs for his life.‘If you just cooperated, then you wouldn’t end up like that.’ Alpha Baron thought to himself.Taken aback by a knock on his door, he didn’t say a word until it
Until Matthias left, Alpha Baron was still in outrage. He wasn’t expecting everything he heard from Matthias, he thought everything went well. That all he could prioritize right now and focus on was the wealth of the former Alpha Magnus and make up a plan on how he’ll convince Cassiopeia to tell him where the hidden auric is.As far as he remembers, five years ago, he saw the Alpha hiding a ton of gold in his office. And if he could take possession of all of it, he will be the richest Alpha for sure, and his pack will be the wealthiest one among the packs.But at this moment, all that he could think of was, how will he able to face King Reagan.“F*ck!” In frustration, he throws the empty glass of wine in his hands to the wall and it automatically breaks into pieces. The broken glasses make a noise but the Alpha was furious to care about.“It was all because of that traitor and Alpha Killian! I’ll make them pay for this!” He swear as he glared at the moon shining above the sky. Like as
Alpha Baron’s eyes turned red, he wasn’t furious but a desire inside him to meet the woman again rose up. He can’t lose her again, he wants her, badly.He shift to his wolf and jumped off from his veranda down to the ground. He slowly walked toward the woman whose eyes were piercing thru him. But she turn around and started walking inside the forest.Alpha Baron followed her, her scent was quite familiar but he set it aside, as it triggers arousal within him. It was dark inside the forest where the woman went, but he could clearly see her walking away clearly with his eyes now that he was in his wolf form.The woman finally stops, and Alpha Baron was about to shift to his human form, so she won’t be feared him, when he noticed that there are two rouges, showing their long canines in front which made the woman freeze.He moves fast when the two rouges gesture to attack the woman, he swiftly swipes his claws on their skin at a fast pace that the two rouges weren’t able to avoid. Everyth
Cassiopeia let out a small smile before facing the Alpha with a worried façade this time.“I-I’m sorry. This may be the last time we will meet again, my family were planning to go to the U.S, and…”“No, please. Don’t go with them.” Alpha Baron cut her off, he cannot understand why he voice it out suddenly when it was just in his mind.“W-Why?” Cassiopeia asked. She wants to hear it from him. On their first meet, he told her that she was beautiful and she took the risk this time, and it seems to be working.“It’s just that…”Alpha Baron paused for a moment. Thinking if he should say it too early when it was just their second time to meet, but he’s afraid that he might not see her again when he“I want to see you again.”“The first time I met you, i was hooked by your beauty.” He added, but that didn’t even make Cassiopeia’s heart flutters, rather she felt the opposite, disgust. However, she has to continue this plan of her, for a better outcome, even if it means enduring every cliché wo
“W-What are you doing here Alpha?” I asked. It took him a couple of seconds to answer as he walked toward me slowly.“I’ve followed those two rouges who attack you earlier.”“Oh…” He probably saw and heard everything.“I was wondering if you mean everything you say?” He asked which made me look away. I don’t have anything to be ashamed of him right?“You should go home,” I replied instead.“So you like him?”My forehead creased, ‘why is he suddenly being like this?’“You exactly know why am I doing this Alpha Killian, you’ve heard Hera and my conversation before right? You even said that you’ll cooperate once I’ve proven to you that I own this face. Do you remember?” I asked. Are we arguing? Really? In the middle of this dark forest, and at midnight?“Right. I should’ve kept that in mind.” He slowly nods before turning his back.I don’t know why I followed him when I should go back to the Silver Moon pack. Alpha Baron was probably in his room already, and it was a good opportunity t
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
“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.

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
“O-Oh, that is…” Chantal gave the man a meaningful look, and the latter seemed to understand it. “A-Alpha Primo, you’re back! That is… completely nothing.” The man was the one who continued. “What do you mean nothing? Do you think I’m a fool?” Alpha Primo shot back. He didn’t seem to like how the two were acting. “The thing is, L-Luna Chantal here wants to look for the missing rouges. I stopped her when I saw her almost enter the dangerous forest where the rouges probably went and L-Luna Chantal…”“told me to not tell everyone about it, especially you, because you might be worried,” he continued. “Y-Yeah that’s right, Alpha. And why didn’t you tell me that you'd be back today? You should’ve sent me a message…” “I’ll come back to my pack whenever I want, Luna Chantal.” He replied firmly, completely shutting the conversation. “Y-You should go ahead, your family must be waiting for you.” Chantal shifted her gaze to the man and faked a smile. “I-I’ll be leaving Alpha, Luna.” He bow
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
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
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 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
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
