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
“D-don’t come near me!” I menaced, trying to firm my voice despite the havoc I was feeling inside. If I'm the most unlucky werewolf in our pack, I will be their dinner tonight.I swallowed a lump in my throat before stepping back as they move forward.“I-I’m the Luna of the Silver Mist Pack!” I exclaimed, this is my last resort. They might not notice that easily that I’m not Chantal. Besides, the truth of us being twins only lingers inside the pack, the other pack doesn’t have any idea about it.But they didn’t seem to hear a thing. Their hungry faces remained, their saliva was flowing out of their mouths like they were craving a delicious meal in front of them and this didn’t feel any good.“No!” I closed my eyes when the three of them attacked me. I was expecting their fangs to dig into my skin, but it’s quite strange that I didn’t feel anything.I slowly opened my eyes just to see a huge black werewolf blocking them, and when he glanced at me, I was shocked and mesmerized at the sa
“The Luna ordered what?” The Alpha asked.“Ahm…”“I just asked Tifanny to train Chandria for multitasking so she could be our cook soon.”Chantal appeared from behind with a small smile on her lips. Alpha Primo gave her a confusing look.“I thought you don’t want your twin sister to be our chief?” He asked.“Oh things have changed, I just thought she can’t poison both of us. We’re important to her, right?” Chantal asked shifting her glance at me this time.I know she’s just saying all those things so she could get thru with ordering Tiffany to give me multiple tasks that are impossible to finish in just one snap, so she could blame me or trigger something that will put me in a critical situation. But instead of voicing it all out, I just nodded.“W-We’ll prepare the breakfast as fast as we could, please enjoy your meals.” I bowed my head and turn around.Alpha Primo was the one confusing me, I don’t want to give myself high hopes but why does he sound concerned?Either way, I just mov
Despite the fact that he haven’t marked me yet, and he rejected me in front of the whole pack, he was still lured by my scent. My wolf isn’t coming out yet, and it’s quite unreasonable for him to act like this. But in our two years of a secret relationship, he has been like this to me, so I’m not surprised at all.“I-I’m sorry but I have to decline.” I tried to strengthen my voice and met his blue eyes.“Y-You have a Luna now, and it’s a sin to let you touch me without her consent.”“But we both know that you are my mate…”“And you rejected me.” I cut him off. I don’t know if this will benefit me, but at least I should try to voice out my thoughts. I’ve been keeping my silences all the time, and ended up being used for their own ease.“You should go back to the mansion A-Alpha.” I continued before standing up. I put all the unused bandages, cotton, and medicine back in the first aid kit box, and handed it to him.“P-Please leave.” I gently ordered. But I was shocked that when our gaze
Waking up in shock. Was it just a nightmare? The drops of blood, the sounds of the werewolves' howls, gunshots, and the young werewolves' cries.But it seemed like it was all real, seeing an unfamiliar ceiling. I quickly sat on the soft mattress and roamed my eyes into the room. Where am I? The room was filled with luxury furniture, even the ceiling looks expensive. Am I in the packhouse? But what pack is it? Only one pack was rich as we do, and I hope I’m wrong. Because that pack was the ultimate rival of our pack.“You’re awake.” A woman suddenly entered the room. She looks like in her mid-thirtees, yet her beauty looks younger.“W-Who are you? Where am I?” I asked continuously.“Don’t you remember anything?” She shot back.“Ah…” My forehead suddenly hurts as a couple of images flashes at the back of my mind. It was Alpha Primo who gave me to Hendrix before he fight for our pack. Hendrix and I encountered six hunters in the woods. Hendrix started fighting against the six of them but
“P-prophecy?” “I haven’t heard that one before.” Murmurs started to fill the training ground while I was still stunned at Celestine, who was intently looking at me.What the hell is she talking about?“This is hard to believe, but it’s either we lose her, and we will take the risk of our lives in the near future because no one will come anymore to save us.” She continued.Me? A wolfless girl? That’s freaking insane and ridiculous, isn’t it?“This is complete nonsense.”“You have to believe me,” Celestine insisted.The scarlet eyes now landed on me, and I could read how furious he was.“I’ll give this to you, Celestine. But once I have proven that you are just doing this to free her up, then you’ll be punished, by death.” Priam quickly shifted his gaze at Celestine as everyone took a gasp.“If that’s what you want, then, I’ll prove to you that you made the right decision to spare her life.”He didn’t bother to reply anymore before turning around and walking away. His men followed him
Chantal was beyond my expectations now. Am I really hearing those words from my own twin sister? And she’s accusing me of being one of those human hunters? Does she really think that because they’ve abandoned me I’ll put the whole pack in danger like what happened?She’s ridiculous.“What? Are you telling us that your twin sister was behind the sudden attack by hunters?” Dad asked.“Aren’t you curious why those humans found our pack? And was able to barge in, without even any sweat?”“It was Chandria all along, mom, dad.”Tears started cascading down my cheeks. “Don’t believe her mom, dad,” I whispered. Even though they can’t hear it, there’s still a lot of hope that they’ll give me at least the benefit of the doubt.“Chandria almost killed the entire pack members, and even put your life and the Alpha’s at risk?” Mom asked unbelievably. As rage slowly filled her eyes, my shoulder fell off as I lost hope. Why do they trust Chantal so much? Aren’t they gonna ask her for any evidence to
Waking up as the sun struck my face, and the blue skies greeted me. I forced myself to stand as I tried to remember how I got here. It seemed like I was in the middle of nowhere.But then I remember them, Chantal, Alpha Primo, and my parents, who hated me to the core and who were hunting me to be punished. A bitter smile escaped my lips and I looked up again to suppress myself from crying. I should have known better, Chantal would never change, and it would be just a waste of tears. I've spent my whole life crying because of her.Tall green trees surrounded me, I don't know anymore if this is the right path to the Black Stygian pack. I have to be back before the time allowance that Priam gave me or else Celestine will be in danger.As I heard my stomach scream for a solid. that, I bit my lip and looked everywhere. Maybe there's something I could eat here. After all, I'm in the middle of the forest. My eyes then remained on the ripened mangoes on that tall tree. I swallowed the lump in
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. 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
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
