ROSHIDA

Felix was a coward.

He was like a dog that barked and barked and even when the target was in front of him, he couldn't bite.

I looked him square in the eye.

“I don't know what you want from me but I know I can't give you anything. So it's up to you now.”

He looked at me so dumbfounded. What? Did he expect that I would sit back and wait until he married her?

“Do you even understand what you're saying? Reject you? You're a Luna. You will tarnish your image. Trash that talk. All you have to do is accept the fact that I'm marrying Kelly. Stop trying to sabotage it.”

I was trying to remain calm because I wanted to have this conversation in a very calm way.

“Felix, I don't know which of my actions have seemed like a sabotage but I never meant for it to seem that way. As I have said before, I do not care that you want to marry her. Infact, you have my blessings. Go ahead and do it. Just stop bringing me into it. I'm sick of it.”

He held my hand.

“Roshida, if we are having issues,we d

    ROSHIDAThe new life that I was living made me feel like an actual Luna. I woke up every day and stayed in my room for most of the day since I had nothing to do. Normally, I would have woken up before the sun rose and entered the kitchen to cook Grace’s food because she refused to eat any other thing made by maids. Then I'll go wake her up for her bath. I'd have to bathe her myself because she had tricked me into thinking that her legs weren’t working. But not anymore. If I was going to be a Luna, then I might as well enjoy my days while doing it. There was no reason for me to involve myself in the daily activities of the maids and servants. Sophia brought my food to me earlier and ran my bath. “What do you have planned for the day?”I turned to her with a frown.“Planned for the day? I plan to go to the Capitol and secure my freedom. Doesn’t that sound nice? I've already sent the letter. I just need to make sure the King has seen it.”“We need to celebrate. It's an amazing feat.

  • Rejected and Abandoned: The Luna’s Reawakening    17: Reject Her and Marry You

    ROSHIDAI’m pretty sure that my attitude shocked him. He rejected me the day he brought another woman into this house, saying that he wanted to marry her while still being married to me so why was he so shocked all of a sudden?“You don’t care?”“Why should I? Did I care when you brought Kelly and said she was your mate? Did I care when you said I should take care of the wedding? Did I care when you said I could be your mistress? So why should i care when you want to reject me?”I was realising how easy it was for me to be careless towards these people. And it felt good. “ You will gain nothing from the rejection. If I reject you, you will lose everything. Your status, your money and all your assets, you will become an outcast here and no one will speak to you ever again.” “Why does it sound like you are trying to convince me not to go ahead with it? You’re the one who wants to reject me, remember? So why are you telling me what would happen? I don’t care if no one speaks to me agai

    FELIXAfter dinner, I sat at the table for a while thinking about everything.I was going to get a lot of hate for doing this but in the end, everything will be fine.As long as the King hadn't finalised finalised the divorce, it meant that we were still married and anything that I wanted, I could take. So, if I wanted to take everything she owned because she was my wife, i could. Right now, there were eyes on me from my enemies, hoping that I will fail in my new position as Alpha and they will be able to tell the Lycan King that they had been right when they said I wasn’t fit to be Alpha.It had taken me six years to finally get to this position. It had also taken a lot of victorious wars, sucking up and being on the good side of the Lycan King to finally be here and I won't let anything make me lose this position.I was also trying to get allies on my side which meant that their eyes were on me because they wanted to know if they would be making a good investment.Then finally, th

    FELIX“I don't understand you, Kelly. What's wrong all of a sudden? Why're you mad?”“I'm mad because you can't seem to understand how serious things are. You said it yourself that things are not looking good for your family anymore. And you think that the right thing to do is to let go of your only source of income?” This was still hard for me to understand. Women always said one thing and meant another. “But Kelly, you don't like Roshida right? You said it yourself yesterday when you came back into the room. So you still want her money?”She gave me a look when she turned around. “Don’t be ridiculous, Felix. First off, I had no idea she was the breadwinner of this family. You didn't tell me that you were that poor.”I held a finger up to her. “I'm not poor. Point of correction, I just don't have a lot of money. She has the inheritance of her parents and that's why she's rich. Her father was a really powerful Alpha before he died.”“How did you even get her to agree to marry you?

    ROSHIDAI originally didn't want to go into his office but then, when I heard him and his mother talking about me and how he had a meeting with the Elders to discuss the rejection, I figured I needed him to see me and let him see that I didn't care about it. He could do whatever he wanted. When I snatched the letter from him and he got all defensive, I knew I had to read it. I didn't know what he was planning behind my back. The letter was not too lengthy and it was very straight to the point. “Dear Felix,If everything does go according to plan and you end up rejecting Roshida as planned, make sure to take everything that belongs to her. She is ungrateful and she needs to learn not to bite the hand that has fed her since she came here. She will have to learn the hard way to not be stingy with what she has. Make sure that you take everything from her and strip her of everything. Remember she's the reason things aren't going so well anymore.Your Luna,Kelly.”I dropped the letter

    ROSHIDA“We don’t plan to keep you. You didn’t do anything good as a Luna so someone else will be taking your place. All that you need to leave behind is some money for the pack so that a few things will be fixed. I mean, it won’t make sense for you to leave with everything.”I'm very sure that within two months of being married to Felix, Kelly would be fed up.They were overbearing and self centered. But oh well, she wouldn't be able to get out of it because she had asked for this and now, she finally got it. I turned to face Grace because I had something to say to her. She kept repeating something over and over again and it was pissing me off.“You say I can’t leave with the money. But it’s my money so what business do you have with it? You say I’m not the Luna but you want my money. If I'm not a good Luna, then surely my money isn't good either. Things can’t work that way. If I’m leaving, then I’m taking everything with me.”She turned to Felix as if asking him to say something to

    ROSHIDAShe couldn’t look me in the eye and answer that question.“You can't hurt me. You're the Luna so you can't touch me. If you do, that's a crime.”Now all of a sudden, I'm the Luna. Felix seemed to be her safe place because she went to stand behind him. Like if I wanted to touch her, he would be able to protect her. He looked at me like he was about to attack and I could see that there was a lot going through his mind. His stance seemed suspicious and I knew he was going to do something. What I didn't expect though was for him to transform. Right there in the house and in front of all of us, he shifted and the first move he made was to me, snapping his jaws hard. There was little to no range of movement since his huge form had taken over the room and I knew that I had to get out of his reach and what better way of controlling a wolf than sitting on its head. One jump off his table, off the wall and I was seated right on his neck. He didn't seem to like that and he kept tryin

    ROSHIDAAs he stood in the room, his huge form taking over the doorway, his eyes scanned the room in disgust. Felix's shifting had made the room a mess and it was expected that the Lycan King wouldn't want to be in a place like this. Felix and his family rearranged themselves and stood on their feet. “My King. What are you doing here?” The Lycan King frowned at him and I gave Felix a look. “Are you asking me questions now? Don't I have the right to be where I want to be anymore?”He bowed his head. “That’s not what I mean, my King. My apologies if it came off wrong. It's an honor to have you in my pack.”“It seems I came at the right time. Things were seeming to get out of hand.”“I don't understand you, your highness. What do you mean?”“In the past few weeks, certain reports have reached my ears and I felt the need to come in person and address them. It seems to me that you have taken another woman as your intended Luna.”Felix's resolve fell and he looked away. “I’m sure I c

    ROSHIDAThe Queen was back in the room and the fact that she was avoiding the King's gaze was awkward. “Mum, just look at him. Roshida already said she forgave him.”The Queen looked at me for confirmation and I nodded quicky. “What about Valfred? He says he's not coming back home unless you forgive him.”Well, that's not going to be easy. “I’ll go with Clarissa to see him. Don't worry about it.”The issue between the Prince and I was not connected to what happened yesterday. But I didn't want to involve them in it. Sophia came in and told me that lunch was served. At least, I had to host them well, seeing as they were here. The tension has calmed down a bit at least. “Your Majesties, lunch is served. Please, let's go to the dining room.”They walked ahead of us while Clarisaa and I walked together. “Are you serious about going to see Valfred?” I nodded but I didn't know if I meant it. Did I want to see him? I didn't know. Did I want to speak to him? Not so much. But I wanted

    ROSHIDAIt was awkward.Maybe it was because I didn't want them to be here or because I was expecting one of them to say something first but right now, all of us were just looking at each other.My eyes met with Sophia who was standing across the room.“Roshida, I think an apology is not enough to tell what story I am for what happened back home last night. What Alpha Lucas and Felix said to you was out of bounds. If I had known that anything like that was going to happen, I would have stopped it. I mean, I have no idea why my husband would think to bring a girl for Valfred to marry just like that when he had never expressed her desire to be married.”I didn't want to get involved with anything that had to do with Valfred. In fact, I was trying to avoid it because it was his personal business and not mine. He was to sort it out with his father.“My dear, for the sake of little Liam, I hope you're not mad at us. I can assure you that my husband is aware that his act was soit of like an

    ROSHIDA I couldn't sleep that night. Maybe it was because I thought I was stronger than what had happened. I thought that I could handle being disrespected and I was disappointed in myself that I had cried. But crying wasn't a sign of weakness. Or was it? Whatever it was, I couldn't take it back. I'd cried and Valfred had seen me. The Queen and Princess too. My eyes fell on Liam in his cot, sleeping soundly, not aware of all the words that had been traded because of him. He was a poor soul, who didn't ask to be brought into this world. He shouldn't have to be insulted or suffer for something he didn't know. That was why I was his mother. I was meant to protect him at all costs. The sun rose with me hazing at the sky. I'm sure Sophia thought I'd be in bed because when she opened the door, she screamed and clutched her chest. “Why the hell are you doing up so early?” “I couldn't sleep. What are you doing up early?” Liam joined us in this world and she went to carry

    VALFREDThe house was silent after they left. My mother and sister had come in at some point and they stood at the door, watching the drama. My father sat down in his chair at the head of the table in silence and I stood before him, just watching him in disappointment. “What got into you, father? Bringing someone I had never met in my life for me to marry? Especially when you know how I feel about Roshida?! I thought I knew you better. I thought you had integrity.”He finally looked me in the eye. “Alpha Lucas has access to the sea port. His pack alone handles all the imports and exports of this Kingdom. And the fact that we have opened the Blue Ridge Fortress again means that we need his pack. So he asked for something in return for the trouble that they would have to go through with the pirates.”That was no excuse for what he had done. “So you thought selling your son out to some man that I didn't know t

    VALFREDAs I watched the car peel away from the compound, I turned back around and headed back inside. I had a lot of things on my mind to say to my father and all those people in here and nothing was going to stop me from saying them. Actually, my mother did stop me. “Valfred, I can't let you inside like this. Calm down.”I looked at my mother. “Mother please, move out of the way. Let me go!” Clarissa joined her. “You have to calm down. You can't go in there like this!”“Calm down?! Did you hear what they said to her?! Why on earth would father bring those people in here to insult her in my presence?! Who the hell is that man?”I felt like if I didn't say anything to support Roshida, I had failed her greatly. She hadn't deserved any of those things that they'd said to her. What my sister and my mother were doing was damage control but what was the use of ruining what was already ruined? I might as well just finish the job. I gragged my hand away from my mother's grip and stor

    ROSHIDAOne thing I hated was people referring to Liam as a bastard. Despite the fact that he didn't have a father, he had me and he had a mother who loved him so much. And this man talking about him like that was one thing I wouldn't taken because not only did he not deserve to speak about my son like that, the fact that he belonged to Felix's family made him just as useless as Felix himself. He didn't know me or anything about me and the fact that he believed anything that Felix told him showed just how stupid and dense he was. I took a step forward. “I can take anything but I will not take any insults against my son from a man who doesn't know anything about me. I don't know you and I don't care to. But from what I can see here, you're disgraceful, bullying a woman who suffered at the hands of your immature nephew and attacking a kid who lost his mother! Don't you ever speak to me or my son like that!”His face turned red and I could see his breathing increasing. “How dare you

    VALFRED For the fact that Isabella was standing there with a huge smile on her face, I could already tell what was going on but I didn't want to believe it. The fact that Roshida was here when they wanted to talk about this rubbish made me even super uncomfortable. Why would they talk about this now? Couldn't they wait till another time? “Well, Lucas here had proposed something wonderful and when he spoke about it, I didn't see any faults with the plan.” My father turned to Alpha Lucas, waiting for him to say something. “What your father is trying to say is that we would like you to marry my daughter. Isabella has had a crush on you since she met you and now that you are both of age, marriage between the both of you is the best thing. What do you think?” I looked at my father, hoping that he would interrupt him and say that it's a joke. But he didn't. I didn't understand why it had to be her and no one else. I'd seen her before. She's often come with her father to

    ROSHIDAThe King and Queen wanted to give the closing remark. That was why they called him.He stood beside them with his hands behind him and pursed lips, obviously thinking about when he would be able to walk away..As he stood up there, I couldn't help but think back to the fact that we had kissed. I had kissed the Prince. For the second time, actually.Just then, he looked down at me and I ckudjbg help the smile that came on my face.Deep down, I had something judging me. Why did I let the Prince kiss me? We weren't anything at all so why should it matter?Besides, he said that he had someone he loved so why did he kiss me?No, it wasn't his fault. I was just at fault as he was..Because I let him, knowing full well that there was someone out there who was faithful to him.I suddenly looked away from him and focused on the nausea in the pit of my stomach.Finally, they were doke with their speech and the party was over.The hall began to clear it while Sophia and I just sat at one

    ROSHIDA“Oh, you didn't have to do anything. Your presence along with Liam presence alone is a present for me. You have no idea how I'm glad to have you both here.”Well, I wasn't feeling very glad right now. I just wanted to leave and I didn't know why.Liam had woken up and was busy tugging at the pearls on her neck and I was silently praying that he won't finally cut it because I was sure they were real pearls and even with all the money I would have in my life, I won't be able to replace them.Felix stepped forward, presenting his one present.“My Queen, my wife and I brought this for you. It was my idea.”Of course, he would take all the glory.The Queens isn't look pleased to see him though.“Where is that wife of yours?” She tried looking over him.“Oh, she's somewhere around. Probably drinking her head off.”How could he talk about her like that? She was pregnant.Suddenly, she ran in while holding her bump and her dress.“Excuse me, I had no idea that the Queen was receiving
