I was not one who likes to party, and I was still weak from my transition, so I decided to go sit at my favorite spot in the middle of the woods. I sneaked out of the party and ran through the woods until I got to my spot. I sat on top of a big stone and sighed deeply. Within minutes of sitting down in my favorite spot, my ears twitched as the leaves rustled and twigs snapped. My ears had become much sharper since the unveiling of my wolf. From the perceived movements, it was with no doubt two people approaching. Maybe two lovers who were sneaking out for some fun. I felt my heart fluttering in my chest as I began to fantasize about meeting my mate. I really hoped that my mate would be from this pack, even if it was not Paul. I would rather not become like others who will have to start traveling from one pack to another to find their mate, nor do I want to rely on different ceremonies which were held for unmated wolf's to find my mate. Since I am now a full-fledged wolf, I can go i
"Luna, are you alright?” By now people had surrounded us, but I could not hear anything. All that was ringing in my ear was the fact that my mate had gotten her pregnant Anna was quickly carried away, but I remained on the floor in a daze until I felt a smack on my face. I gasped as I came to my senses and looked up to see two royal guard's standing over me and looking down at me with a hostile gaze. I knew them from when I used to visit the palace, they were Paul's guard, and they always gave me a little smile, but they were now Anna's guard. "The Alpha King wants to see you" Then they grabbed my both arms and hurled me up from the floor. They dragged me with them to the palace and threw me at Paul's feet, and that was when everything finally registered in my head. Anna was pregnant with my mate's child, she was pregnant with his future heir which might be in danger because I bumped into her. I immediately crawled up to him and grabbed his feet ready to plead for h
I raised my head up to look at the sun, knowing it was the last time I would see the light of the day. The sun has never been so beautiful and bright. Suddenly, the silhouette of a man loomed over me, blocking me from the view that I was enjoying. The refreshing scent of lemons was wrapped around him and I, who didn't want to cry, felt tears prick at the back of my eyes. Though lemons were not the sweetest of all fruits, I have always loved it. I smiled through my pain, and then I felt it, the hot slash of pain as the blade of the executioner hit my neck, separating my head from the rest of my body and then everything was gone. All I could see was darkness. I gasped as I felt a cold liquid splash on her face and I did not need to be told twice that someone had poured a bucket of cold water on my face. It must be my stupid sister Gloria, but before I could open my eyes I felt a different memory's flooding my head making me groan in pain but my hands felt too heavy to lif
I clutched at Amber's arm and blinked slowly when we got to the place we were to be addressed by the head housekeeper. Everyone was already there, and they began to talk in hush whispers when I appeared alongside Amber. And I did not need to be told that I was the topic of discussion. Before my execution and death, I was the daughter of a Beta and was training to join the royal army in my pack. I was nothing but a mere slave now all thanks to Paul and Anna for ruining my life. I looked up at the sun, it was shining brightly above me. The sun I thought I would never see again after my head was cut from my throat, after I sank into the bottomless pit of darkness called death. My attention was drawn back when everywhere suddenly went silent, and I knew for sure that the head housekeeper was here. My eyes widened slightly at the giant of a woman. She was at least six feet tall with a voluptuous body and brawny arms which I could see peeking out of her uniform gown. She w
“Greetings…”, I paused my words, not knowing how to address her.“Greetings, Queen Luna”. Amber said beside me as we both courtesy. She was really Luna, I thought. She did not reply to our greetings so we remained in our position, with our heads bent down. I could hear the soft patters of her footsteps on the floor as she moved towards us. I stiffened as her feet appeared in my line of vision. She was now standing in front of me. "Up". Just one word and me and Amber stood straight. My eyes met with hers and I quickly looked away from her forest green eyes, which looked like they could see into my soul. I flinched when she hooked her finger on my chin and turned my face back to her. She was looking at me in fascination, her eyes roving over my new face. "I've never seen anyone this beautiful”. She said, and using the hand on my chin, she turns my face from left to right. Me too, I wanted to tell her but I kept quiet and stood still, trying hard not to flinch under her scrutiny
“My brother has got to be the most annoying human ever. How could he just sit there and allow me to address those old men who have nothing better to do than try to march their daughter with him because they want more power?”. I looked at Azalea as I scrubbed her back. She was in the bathtub. After returning from her meeting, she sent a guard to call for me. I helped her pull off her gown, and now she was taking her bath. She has been prattling on and on, and by now I knew everything that happened in the meeting. Alpha king Lothar was her cousin brother, and she was not the right Luna. She was just filling in for whosoever it was until Alpha Lothar finds his mate. The old men who made up the council of elders wanted him to pick a chosen mate for himself. They think that he would become weak if he does not find a mate, and they also wanted him to have an heir. " I also don't want to be Luna, can't they see that and stop bothering me?”. She slapped the foamy water and it splashed out,
I had a hard time getting up from my bed the next morning. Azalea was much worse than my chief commander in my past life. She did not even stop to think that I was an Omega, or it was my first time, she kept barking orders at me to get up anytime I fell down from being knocked down by her. "Are you okay, Angela? You don't look good this morning”. Amber told me, her eyes racking over me from where she was sitting on her bed. "It's okay. I'm tired from my training”. I told her as I forced my weak body off the bed and prepared to take my bath. "What training is that?”. She looked confused. " Azalea is training me on how to defend myself”. I explained as I walked towards the tiny bathroom we all shared. "Azalea? She let you call her by her name?”. Amber spluttered as she jumped off from her bed to follow me. No doubt wanting to hear about everything. From Angela's memory, Amber likes gossip. "Yeah". I admitted. I had already made the mistake of calling the queen Luna by her name in
I watched as Alpha Lothar stood up in all his majestic glory and began to walk slowly to where I was. My heart was beating fast, threatening to fly out of my chest. The whole place had gone silent and everyone was waiting for his reaction and verdict. No one has realized that we were mates. I should be thankful for that. I would silently be rejected again without anyone knowing about it. My breath caught in my throat and I could not breathe when he came to a stop in front of me. It was disrespectful of me to look him in the eyes. I was supposed to bow my head or something, but I couldn't look away. I looked up at the Alpha Lothar who was towering over me at six feet, five inches. He was more handsome up close. More handsome than when I had seen him from Azalea's window riding on a horseback or when he was still seated on his throne. He was the most handsome man I have ever laid eyes on. His green eyes held mine and I could not look away. My wolf was clamoring behind my mind where I
Home, that's what the woman had called this place and it immediately felt like home to Angela when she stepped out a week later with the woman. The woman refused to allow her to step out of the room until she and her wolf were fully healed and the bandage was removed from her head. Angela stood in the middle of the street the woman led her to with her mouth dropped open in shock at the spectacle before her. Everyone in this place looked like they were straight out of a spirit realm; they all in one way or the other looked like the woman. White, gold, copper, blonde, and silver hair with different shades of bright eyes. “Does everyone in this place look like this?” Angela could not help but voice out this question in awe.The woman whose name Angela now knew to be Brunhilda slowly turned her face to look at Angela with a tranquil smile, “Everyone looks like we do.”At Brunhilda’s words, Angela turned to face her, “Like we do? How?”The smile with Brunhilda's face widened, “Look aroun
Angela expected to wake up in so many places —- the cold floor of a dungeon, tied up to a chair in a dark building and so on — but where she woke up was in a beautiful room and on a bed. How? Angela was lying on her back and she could feel a dull ache at the back of her head; her head was wrapped up because of the blow she took. She did not know how long she's been out or whose room she was in now.Whether she was saved from that woman and the men that came for her by Lothar's men or if the woman succeeded in taking her away.Only thing she knew was that she was alive and still in one piece and even if her head felt like it weighed a ton, it was another day to be grateful that she was still in the land of the living. She tried to sit up on the bed, it was supposed to be a chore and Angela was very ready to struggle but soft and warm hands reached out to help her up. She had not noticed that she was not alone in the room; there's a woman sitting on a chair beside the bed. The person
What did she want? Who sent her? Questions, but who would answer them? Since there was nowhere for her to run into and it was already too late as the woman had found her already, Angela decided to put on a false bravado and face the woman head on.Angela nearly groaned and dropped to the ground in surrender when another shadow appeared behind her and she realized that the woman was not alone. She has been so focused on the masked women she did not hear or notice the other person…. No, it was more than one person because other shadows appeared. They were coming from every angle and now, she was in the middle.“Who are you people?" Angela finally asked. She offered a little thanks to the moon goddess when her voice came out firm and did not give away her fear.“Hmm, a brave one. I see"It was the masked woman that replied. It felt like she was praising Angela for her boldness but her tone was insulting and Angela could see the woman's blue eyes looking at her from head to toe.Blue eye
In just a few weeks of her training with Camelot, Angela could feel that she was getting stronger and it made her glad. She could now hold her own for a few minutes. Though she had not been able to land any blows on Camelot during their practice, she knew that it was only a matter of time. Camelot was a big man and he was fast but she was faster and more nimble because she was smaller and it has always been her strength back when she was Marylee.Camelot was standing over her like her lord as he glared at her on the floor with that dark scowl of his on his face, “Aren't you getting up? We just started and you are giving up already?" "Please” Angela groaned as she rolled on to her back. She knew when to give up and accept defeat and the time is now. “You are too brutal"“The same complaint over and over again. No one is stopping you from giving up and putting an end to your training".“Never" Angela snapped she pushed herself into a sitting position to glare back at him, “No way am I
“I want to learn how to fight," Angela said when she was finally able to corner the guard whose name she now knew to be Camelot. She held his cold gaze as he looked at her from head to toe but she couldn't fathom the emotion in his eyes. He turned to move away and she was quick to understand that he was not taking what she just said seriously. Angela rushed to stand in front of him to block his path; she stretched out her hands when he tried to sidestep her, and because the corridor where she cornered him was not spacious, she was able to stop him from leaving.“I'm really serious. I want to learn how to fight." She held his gaze just to show how serious she truly was. Seeing that he was not trying to walk around her to leave but now had a contemplative look in his eyes, she dropped her outstretched hands. Camelot took a step back from her, "Why do you want to leave how to fight all of a sudden?” He wanted to know because what woman in her right senses would want to learn how to fi
What did he mean when he said ‘you will be the lady of this place and will live here’?Oh yes, she really did become the lady of the place because as soon as he was done saying it, over forty young girls and ten older women filtered into the room in an orderly manner and bowed to her in greetings before lifting their head to stare at her as if waiting for her orders. She turned to look at the man whose name she did not yet know in confusion, “Who are they?" She asked. “They are the women that will serve you during your time here" he answered her with a nonchalant expression.The only thing she latched onto was the fact that he said ‘during your time here’ “How long do you think I will remain here for?" Her expression betrayed her anxiousness as she held her breath waiting for his answer which delayed in coming.“Until the alpha wants you to come out. Now, address your ladies in waiting” he walked away after that.Angela kept her eyes on his broad back as he walked out of the place
Angela could not sit still after the man left, she stood by the door hoping to hear him coming back. When after a few minutes which felt like an eternity to her, she did not hear the man coming back, she became anxious and begs to pace to and fro. The man might have said that he would get her food and light but how sure was she that he would bring it?This time around, she did not hear the man coming back. Her mind must have been occupied with different thoughts. She almost let out a scream when the door was suddenly thrown open and light filled the room, almost blinding her. “Here is your food and light”She did not even have the opportunity to thank the man, as soon as she collected the tray of food and lamp from him, he slammed the door shut, causing her to jump and nearly burn herself.Angela turned away from the door and raised the lamp so that she could see the room she was in. It was almost the same as her room in Lothar's palace. It was a room fit for a queen but with no wind
No one came for her. Angela did not know for how long she sat in the dark room and cried until she had no more tears left in her eyes. She had to drag herself up from the bed when she felt like she was about to die of hunger to find her way to the room’s door. She had a hard time locating it; she kicked her foot against a hard wooden table nearly tumbling down on her face in the process.This place reminded her of when she was locked in the dungeon because of Paul and Anna. The same cold chill and feeling of fear because she did not know if anyone would come to her rescue or what was going to happen to her. She just prayed that history won't repeat itself and she won't die a second time because she would never want to come back again no matter what. Revenge be damned. When she finally located the door, she knocked hard against it, “Hello, anyone out there?” she kept quiet, silently uttering a prayer that someone would hear her and respond but all she got was silence. She knocked agai
Yes, Amber's mother was slowly recovering and could even sit up now. Amber and Angela lost track of time that Angela's guard had to come after them. He had changed out of his guard uniform and was now putting on clothes reserved for peasants and omegas, he blended in well. He also did away with his sword but Angela knew that he must have daggers and little knives hidden away somewhere in his body. When he knocked, Amber was the one that went to open the door for him and welcomed him inside. "Hey, what are you doing here? I thought I asked you to wait for us outside?" Angela asked and a snicker left her mouth as she eyed his clothes with a."Of course you did but have you been outside yet?" The guard snapped at her.Angela sneered at his disrespectful tone, " what's outside?""Maybe you should see for yourself. It's late already and we have to return back to the palace"Angela raised her brow at him before walking past him to the door. She sighed in understanding when she saw that it
