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
‘How on earth does he able to enter my unit?’ It was a huge question, as the door was locked when I entered. There’s no sign that it has been a break. It was also impossible that he jumps off from the ground to my veranda, as far as I remember, my unit is on the fiftieth floor. His crimson eyes were piercing me. “I told you, we have the same blood running in our veins.” I reminded him trying to strengthen my voice, but beneath was a fear that slowly succumb to my system. “Oh really huh, then why aren’t you shifting sweetie? And your smell was different.” He shot back, wearing a wide grin on his face. ‘Get yourselves together, Chandria.’ “Maybe accepting Britanny’s offer was your biggest regret at this moment huh? That brat somehow chose a perfect portrayer for her, but unfortunately not my fiancée but an ideal meal for tonight.” Being weak is the last thing I should think of, there’s no one here to save me. I hurriedly run towards the kitchen and got the biggest knife I have and
Waking up in the unfamiliar dungeon of pain, my face twitch as a strike of torment rushed to my left leg. “Don’t move. The medicine will take time to effect and lessen the pain.” It was a familiar voice of a man, that send terror to my whole system. ‘How did he find me?’ Is that mean, he saved me from the cops? And I wasn’t dreaming all along. “If you were trying to hide from everyone, you shouldn’t have made a noise like that.” He added, he could probably read questions inside of my head, when he throws me a cold gaze, his scarlet eyes were reflecting the sunlight’s array. “I-I didn’t do it.”“I know.” He looks away and took a sip in a mug he was holding. I just notice where we are, it looks like we’re on the highest floor of a building. I can’t help but be amazed at the expensive-looking buildings that surround us, it could be seen as the walls were made of thick glass, but transparent. ‘Does he owns this?’ “We’re still in Chicago Illinois.” “But we will be leaving tonight.”
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
“Luna Chantal has been freed by Alpha Priam, instead of killing her. According to Rosa, the Silver Mist Pack was about to attack around midnight, and they called for a backup from their allied pack.” Those were the words that greeted us when we arrived at the pack early this morning. I shortly glanced at Alpha Priam whose face remains blank as usual. They let Chantal go? That’s quite a relief to know. I’ve been overthinking the entire flight what’s going on here if they were torturing my sister because based on what the Alpha and I talked about back in the plane, he seemed determined to kill my sister. “Please call Rosa, I need to talk to her tomorrow.” Alpha Priam replied. ‘Oh no, was Rosa in trouble for freeing my sister?’ The latter just nods before bowing his head, his stolen glance didn’t escape from my eyes. He looks awkward looking at me, and so do I. Since Falcon, one of the Alpha men still carries me. Alpha Priam leaves without saying a word but the man carrying me seem
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
Brittany. ‘How on earth?’ “Let’s go Chandria,” Celestine uttered, and Falcon carried me out of the room. As our eyes met, there was nothing but… Hatred. “Leave us alone, Falcon. I’ll take care of her, thank you.” Celestine gently helps me stand after Falcon put me down. To my shock, I didn’t notice that we were in my room already. “Chandria, you should’ve fought,” Celestine commented as long as I was able to sit on the mattress. She started removing the bandage on me, as it was tainted by blood already. “Calista has been always a war freak since she was a kid and….” “Rosa has a daughter?” I asked cutting her off. She stops what her doing and looks me in the eyes. She heaved a deep sigh and smiled a bit, “Yeah. She said, she throws her out in the human world so she would have a different destiny. She even told me that she was gaining all her strength and courage to meet her and tell her that she’s mother…” That’s the reason why she was prepared to live in the city. “But…” “I

“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

“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

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
