TITLE: Close Aversary. LAURA's POV:I felt reality slipping away from me, softly soothing me into the sweaty embrace of slumber.This was peace. The one I've yearned so loudly for, ever since my rebirth.As I slept, the figure slowly crept closer to me, their eyes fixed on me with an unnerving intensity that surrounded the whole room with high tension.I stirred in discomfort, sensing a presence, but no matter how much I tried to open my eyes or muster enough energy to do So, I couldn't.I was paralyzed, unable to move an inch of a muscle.The figure reached out a pale white hand, their fingers hovering above my forehead. I could sense everything with my mind's eyes.The power I gained from the moon goddess made me sense my surroundings like I was the eye of the earth. I could see all if I focused hard enough, but only in the form of energy.I couldn't know who or what the person was except for the vast amount of energy that surrounded the person.I suddenly felt a jolt of electricity go thr

Niandra was just trying to manipulate me. But a small part of me wondered... was it true?"I'm not sure but they're my suspects. If you want to know more, meet me in the library by noon tomorrow. My powers are almost depleted and……."She didn't finish her word before the world spun around and I suddenly felt dizzy.I woke up with a gasp from my slumber. Scanning the room to see if I was truly alone."It was just a dream" I tried to convince myself but a huge part of me knew it wasn't.I looked down and saw my legs covered in the black ooze."It really was true!!!!!!"A persistent knock sounded on the door to my chambers and I jumped in fright.Maxwell's head popped into the room, his eyes holding panic.I didn't hear what he was saying at first as my mind was clouded with Niandra's words. He might be the traitor."Laura.
TITLE: A Plan in Action. SONIA's POV:"She's no longer Naive, Alex" I walked to and fro, my heart hammering in my chest, wondering what might have happened:"She was never like this. I thought this was going to be easy but it's not. She's making it hard, Alex. I can't stand her anymore"I was restless, thinking and devising a way to finally eliminate that bitch. I thought Alex being her mate would be my gold card to the throne but it speaks otherwise.When I found out Alex was Laura's mate, I was ecstatic and couldn't control my excitement. I have been Witt Laura for as long as possible and once I found out I wanted the throne, prompted by my grandfather of course, that's when I started thinking of ways to achieve my dreams.And when I found out Laura wanted nothing more than to find her mate, it was like a dream come true. With a little manipulation from Alex and a hex, I was able to make everything happen.But now, everything I've planned for years has been destroyed as Laura didn't wan
TITLE: A Plan in Action. SONIA's POV:I couldn't believe what I was hearing as I stared at Amira in disgust. I couldn't believe she was involved in such acts."Fun?" I repeated, my voice laced with disdain. This was unbelievable. I think I have to work with her to get what I want! "You call this debauchery fun?""Yes, dear Sonia. You can try if you want to. Satisfying" Amira closed her eyes in pleasure:"I have to find something to do now that I'm bored" she slurred.I spat on her face, looking at this disgusting being. "You're a disgrace to your father's memory, Amira."A dangerous glint went across Amira's eyes as her eyes narrowed, glazing with anger. "How dare you, Sonia. You have no right to judge me."I sneered at her, my lip curling in revulsion. "Really? I do have every right. Look at yourself, Amira, You're a mess. I have always admired you but now, all I see now is a shell of what you once were. Nothing but a drunk wasted mess.""And you're squandering your life away on wine and..
TITLE: Let the duel begin. Sonia's POV:My uncle, Elder Magnus's eyes snapped up from the papers and locked into mine, his expression one of disbelief and shock plastered over his face."W-what are you saying, Sonia? What S-Septa are you talking about?" Uncle Magnus stammered out, sweat rolling down his forehead:"I don't know what you're talking about, Sonia. Now, I need you to leave"I laughed, a humorous laugh that echoed through the office. "Oh, stop the act, Uncle Magnus. I know you have the septar or you're hiding it somewhere!""You don't need to act anymore"He closed the papers on his desk, folding his hands and locking eyes with mine. His semblance to me was uncanny."The Septar, Sonia. I can't do anything about that. I think you're going mad with your want for power. you can't be serious. The scepter is a dangerous and forbidden artifact. It can't be used just like that." He said, looking overly serious."You have to stop this nonsense right now. We will take the throne from Laur
TITLE: The golden cup. MAXWELL's pov:"Thank you, Gloria. I really appreciate" I thanked the kind maid who I have grown close to since we were only Cubs."You're welcome, Maxwell." She replied. We were on our first name base, not caring about titles and entitlement. It was too clinch."Did you do what I asked?" I asked, worried and hopeful.Gloria smiled a kind one that made her small face even more fragile. "How would I ever say no to my best friend? Of course silly. Now, go make Mama proud and get the girl"We both laughed at her words, seemingly too comfortable with each other."Remember I was the matchmaker and need to get credit for all I've done when you fully, you know?" She shook her eyebrows at me and I shook my head at such silly action."Get out of here, Gloria. Don't you have work to do? Today the Luna duel and you're still here having fun!" I told her and her eyes narrowed at me."You sound more like those high pompous and overly pampered jerks who think they're
A fight for the fittest. LAURA's POV:Something I've begun to trust was my instinct. Ever since my rebirth, it has been extremely heightened and has never failed me ever since then.I was feeling irked that something was wrong. Something wasn't right but I washed it aside, hoping today goes on smoothly.I kept on changing and trying to put on this belt across its hole but the little leathered bitch wouldn't even enter."How do they put on this thing?" I asked myself, thinking about how I was going to change what the pack warriors wear when going for a battle.I heard the door open as I'd sensed a few seconds ago and looked up to lock eyes with Maxwell.He smiled, holding a golden cup within his grasp."Hey!" He greeted me and I smiled at him, missing his presence."Maxwell?" he dropped the cup beside me and I looked at its contents. I didn't bother about that and struggled to fix the belt."Are you ready, Laura?""Yeah, almost. I can't seem to figure out where to put all this belt. They're s
TITLE: A fightLAURA's POV:"Amira!"I whispered her name, my eyes locking into her brown ones as the tension between us increased tremendously. It was palatable.This was it. This was the moment of truth.I had to win this fight, no matter what. With this, I would be able to secure my position, and anyone who dares to take it away from me, I'll end them just like I will end Amira.I walked, getting closer to her as seconds ticked. In no matter of minutes, I was in front of Amira, our height the same as we stared deeply into each other's eyes.Amira sneered at her, her eyes gleaming with confidence. "You think you can beat me, Alpha Laura? Or you aren't going to keep that position after this fight. You stand no chance against me. I've been training for this moment my whole life."I smiled at her confidence, knowing it was the end of her. My eyes flashed with determination. "Aw, that's cute. But let me tell you something. I don't just think I can beat you, Amira. I know I can."It was obvious
