The staircase makes a noise as I made my way down to the kitchen, to get some water. I’ve been afraid to get out of my room as I might cross paths with Alpha Priam. Or maybe I should ask for apologies when we meet. If Falcon was right, Alpha Priam will hunt me for creating a mess and making Celestine attack him. I’m sure, Celestine tells him such words that would hurt his ego again, and he’ll bring everything back at me.But my eyes settled on Celestine who was sneaking a sight outside.“What’s going on Celestine?” I politely asked the woman.She gave me a short glance before her eyes widened. “H-Hey, Chandria. Are your legs fine now? You should’ve called me, what do you want?” She hysterically uttered that made me frown at her.“I’ll just get water Celestine, don’t panic. Besides my legs were fine now, I’d rather walk with a bit of pain than lie on the mattress for the whole day.” I replied and smiled. But my attention was taken aback when I saw a gray wolf and…“Are those rouges?” I
Catching Falcon took a short glimpse at me, I manage to not act suspiciously, like I didn’t hear anything.“But Britanny will be leaving back to Chicago in a few weeks right?” Rosa asked. I tried to not give a damn about their conversation, rather look outside and watch the gigantic trees dance with the sway of air.“I’m not sure about that. I said that’s probably one of the reason, but we can’t really tell it. Alpha Priam didn’t say a thing on me, he only asked me to call Britanny after we found a camera installed in one of the rouges.”That’s when my attention got hook and look at him.“So you mean those rouges has been sent by someone to spy us?” Celestine asked.“Probably, it was the Silver Mist’ pack doing.” I look away when Falcon mention of my pack.‘Was it Alpha Primo who sent those rouges?’‘For what? Did he saw me back then in the shopping mall? And now suspecting that I am alive? Those cameras were sent to check if it was me and I’m in the possession of the Black Stygian’s
“So, what do you want to say Celestine?” Alpha Everett asked while he took the bottle of wine next to him and pour it into an empty glass. At this moment, I can’t see the playful Everett I’ve met before. Rather an Alpha who hold a huge authority, and where his decision matters at everything. “We want you to be our ally, Alpha Everett.” Celestine blurt out that made my eyes widened. “The Silver Mist was planning something against us, though they failed on their first attempt to use humans against us. But I’m sure there are more behind it, and a war might break out between the two packs. And we want your loyalty in us, Alpha Everett.” “Alpha Primo of the Silver Mist has connection with Alpha Thorr…” “You mean the Alpha who left his pack so he could live in the city?” Alpha Everett asked curiously. Celestine nods. “I don’t know what exactly happened back then, but the Alpha has returned and has plans to join forced with the Silver Mist, and you know what next.” Celestine replied. ‘
“W-What? Why?” Celestine throws me a short glance before looking at the Alpha again. “Alpha Everett. You could ask something else but…” “That’s the only thing I want Celestine, I have all the things you could offer already, and if not, I could afford them. So…” Alpha Everett let out a small smirk escape from his lips, seemingly waiting for an answer. “No. Chandria will never be a part of this pack Alpha Everett, most especially to be your Luna. She’s like a daughter to me already, there’s no way I’ll bargain with her.” “Oh, I thought she is your daughter, Celestine. So who are her parents, I’ll ask their permission.” Alpha Everett retaliated. “Alpha, we’re clear that Chandria is none negotiable here. If you don’t want to cooperate, it’s fine. It’s nice doing business with you.” Celestine uttered firmly as she bowed her head slightly before holding my hand and dragging me gently out of Alpha Everett’s office, we didn’t bother to wait for the Alpha’s reply and it looks a bit rude.
“W-We’re not close so you could trust me on this Celestine, I’ll keep my mouth shut,” I replied firmly, there’s no way I’ll tell it to the Alpha when it might lead to conflict between Celestine and him. After all, I know Celestine was doing this for the Black Stygian pack, and I get her that the Alpha won’t ask another pack to join forces with them, it’s his pride and ego we were talking about. “It’s not you…Chandria. But you Falcon.” Celestine gazed at the man driving silently in front. “I know you’re loyal to the Alpha but you also knew that I’m doing this for the pack, not for myself. It’s not like I’m betraying him, I just wanted to help. Because knowing the Alpha, he has high pride and he won’t ever take any help from any pack.” Celestine added explaining briefly at Falcon to understand the situation. “Just this once, let it slide.” She added though I could trace hope in her voice to convince Falcon. Seeing Falcon from the mirror made me want to convince him too, but it seem
Britanny’s face lit up and throw me an interesting look. ‘Damn, why did I even ask that?’“Why?” She asked curiously. I shook my head, “N-Nothing.” “No, tell me why did you ask?” “Uhm, it was just that…” F*ck it. ‘So what’s your reason now, Chandria?’ “It’s just that Celestine was curious to know.” I lied. ‘I’m sorry, Celestine. Please help me just this one.’ “Really? Celestine was curious to know, and not you?” She asked sounded a bit mocking. “W-Why would I be interested with the conversation you had with the Alpha?” I asked back, trying to make my voice firm and confident.“Because you like the Alpha? And now you’re curious if he asked me to be his Luna because you’re threatened with my existence here in the pack, right? And after what I did earlier, with those six rouges, which proves that I deserve the throne. I heard that you cannot shift?” ‘Why am I seeing Chantal in her?’ Her words were not that exact, but she sounded that she’s mocking me, or I am just overthinking
I like Alpha Priam, and I’m confuse if I’m still into Alpha Primo. Though does it still matter? Silly, none of the two see me anyway, or pays attention with my existence. Both of them wants me gone. Maybe that’s the right thing to do. This pack serves as my second home, but as long as I’m here, they won’t be at peace. If Alpha Primo got to know that I’m here, I’ll bring more chaos. He’s already hinting that I’m here, he probably sees me that day in the shopping store with Britanny and send those rouges to spy. I should do something. Rosa’s life is enough, no one from this pack should shred another blood because of me. I went back to my room, and pack everything, I even wrote a letter for Celestine to read. I’m sure she doesn’t agree to the idea, judging with her reaction earlier, so it would be better if I bid goodbye this way. Taking the way at the back of the pack’s buildings, I remembered that this is also where I entered when Alpha Everett escorted me back here. Who would’ve th
The man left me speechless.‘What’s wrong with him?’‘Was he really Alpha Everett’s brother?’‘Though they have some resemblance, and he seemed to be a year younger. Yet his attitude says otherwise, makes me doubt.’“You’re awake now, Chandria.” A woman suddenly approach me, she looks familiar but I barely remembers her name.“Alpha Everett was out of the country, though his right hand already called him with regards to your sudden visit in the pack. He only told us that he’ll be back in a week, but there’s a higher possibility that his vacation will be prolonged, and his brother Evan, will replace him for the time being.”Oh that brat was Evan. But he takes care of me when I was asleep, I still remembers the damp of the cloth on my face.“Thank you, Ma’am. Maybe I’ll just go back when the Alpha is here…” I tried to stand up only to be bounce back to the mattress when my vision swirled up.“You should rest more, Chandria. You’re lack of sleep, and exhausted that’s why you collapsed ea
