Garyson. I felt a line of sight watching us. Quinn was standing across the street and was walking slowly towards me. I hadn't expected to run into her here at all. This was bad news. A million questions arose in my mind. Did she see when Mera and I kissed earlier? How much has she seen? Does she know about my relationship with Mera? I can't let her find out that Mera is my mate. Otherwise it will create a big trouble. If she knew that Mera was my mate, she would surely tell my father or the elders about it as a way to force me to marry her. Even worse, she will hurt Mera because she is jealous of her. Therefore, I must protect this secret and not let her find out. She's a scheming woman, so I have to deal with it carefully. "Do you like me?" Mera looked up and asked me carefully, her eyes full of expectation. I wanted to tell her, "Yes, I like you," but my reason told me I couldn't do that. I had to reject her coldly and show that I didn't have any feelings for her. "No! She
Quinn. I was rejected twice by Alpha Garyson! The first time, I was invited by the Elders of the Blood Moon pack to discuss about a union. I thought it would go well, but I didn't expect Garyson to reject me. The second time, he still rejected me in front of my father. I grew up in the favor of my parents and have never been wronged before. My father was Alpha, my mother was Luna, and I was the strongest, smartest, and prettiest she-wolf in the Shadow pack, and there was no one else like me. By the time I was fifteen years old, there were already many male wolves trying to woo me. I was raised as a Luna, my mother taught me how to run the pack and how to be a certified Luna. I always liked Garyson and wanted to marry him. He was tall, handsome, and had deep blue eyes. I loved everything about him. He always had a powerful aura about him that was impossible to ignore. My fondness for him was not born out of a need for a political union, but from the depths of my heart. Alpha n
Mera.I cried the whole way in the car. At first I bawled my eyes out, I let out all the sadness inside me. Until I got tired of crying, the tears became silent and just flowed silently.I summoned up the courage to confess, but all I got was a cold response, "You're just a slave".Every word he said turned into a merciless blade piercing my heart, making countless bloody holes. My heart was dripping blood.I always thought he liked me, at least a little bit. Because he always helped me and cared for me, that's why I thought he liked me.I didn't realize I was just a slave in his heart.I was so conceited! God... I'm such an idiot! I actually thought he liked me? I'm just a slave with no status at all who doesn't deserve to be liked.If only I had realized this earlier, then I wouldn't have made a fool of myself in front of him.I look at the clothes I'm wearing that he bought for me this morning. If he didn't like me, why did he buy me clothes? Why be so nice to me? Why pay off my de
Garyson.I look at Mera lying on the bed, her pale face streaked with tears, her eyes becoming red from crying. At the moment, she was looking at the ceiling in despair.It was very hard to see her become like this now."Mera, you are not a slave in my heart." I explained.I walked over to the bed and looked at her naked body shivering from the cold. I grabbed the quilt next to me and covered her.I leaned down and tried to kiss her, but she purposely turned her head to avoid it."Did you forget what you said yourself so soon?" She sneered. She refused to even give me a look, instead looking past me to the ceiling.I lowered my head and sighed, feeling heavy.She wrapped the covers around her body and walked over to the couch before laying down."If you're not going to fuck me then I'm going to sleep." She said.I knew I had hurt her, so she didn't want to sleep in the same bed as me. She was my mate, how could I
Mera. When I opened my eyes, I felt that my eyelids were very heavy and difficult to open. I had cried for too long yesterday, causing my eyes to be very swollen. I realized that I was lying on the bed. I remembered that I slept on the couch yesterday, so why would I be in bed? The only possibility is that he carried me here while I was asleep. Why would he care about me when he already has a fiancée and doesn't like me? I sighed deeply, my heart filled with bitterness. That was the end of my crush. Yesterday, he told me "I like you", is that true? No. It's not true! He must have lied to me! I was the only one in the room, and he wasn't there. I can't help but wonder what he's doing. Did he go on a date with a blonde? Do they have sex? Do they kiss? The more I thought about it, the sadder I became. I would never enjoy his care and attention to me again. I shook my head and cleared my mind. I didn't have much time to con
Mera. We came into the classroom and Everly and Mistress Hawthorne looked at me at the same time. Everly immediately walks up to me angrily, grabs my wrist, and pulls me in front of Mistress Hawthorne. "I have pictures to prove she left the castle yesterday!" She said excitedly. She immediately pulled out a picture of me at the mall in my new dress. Mistress Hawthorne looked at the photo and then turned to me and said seriously, "Mera, you need to explain this to me." I said honestly, "I didn't leave the castle on my own, my master took me out." Mistress Hawthorne frowns, then surveys me from top to bottom with a strange look. I don't know why she's looking at me like that. Everly tried to hurt me, but she didn't succeed. She tried to say something else and was stopped by Mistress Hawthorne raising her hand. "Okay, shut up. There's no need to go on about this little matter.Mera didn't break any rules." E
Mera.After class, the other girls were allowed to leave and I was left behind by Mistress Hawthorne.Hannah looked at me worriedly and whispered, " Did she ask for you for something?"I shook my head, pinning a strand of hair to my while back and said, "I don't know, I hope it's nothing bad. I'm fine, don't worry about me.""Good luck!" She patted me on the shoulder and then followed the others out.Mistress Hawthorne and I were the only ones left in the classroom, and she stared at me as she sipped her coffee. The look in her eyes made me feel insecure.I decide to stay silent until she says something, it's the one option that can't go wrong."Come here." She said to me, her expression very serious. I couldn't help but start wondering if I had broken the castle rules. That's why she left me alone.I walked up to her and nervously entwined my fingers together."Spin around." Her fingers drew a circle in the air.I spin slowly, my fingers nervously gripping my skirt. I don't know why
Mera.As I walked out of the classroom, I sighed deeply. The conversation with Mistress Hawthorne had drained all of my energy.I was very afraid that if I said a wrong word there would be serious consequences. Luckily, I had done pretty well and hadn't let her find out my secret.I leaned against the wall, my hands over my chest, my heart still pounding.Slaves can't fall in love with their masters, that's the rule of the castle. But I had fallen in love with my master, that was irrevocable.He doesn't love me. What's the point of me loving him? I want to cry again. I quickly blink away the tears in my eyes. I can't cry again unless I want my eyes to swell to the size of eggs for two days in a row.I've been distracted and sullen today. I was in a bad mood and I had to make an adjustment.I decided to hide my feelings and pretend that I never liked him. From today on, I would only think of him as my master, not my boyfriend.I can't let anyone find out about my love for him, especial
Mera. We head to the grand ballroom where the ceremony will take place. Everyone standing on either side of us bows and salutes us, they are curious about me, perhaps they want to get to know their Luna earlier. The crowd began to cheer as we walked onto the stage. I kept taking deep breaths to ease the tension inside me. It was my first time to experience such a grand ceremony. Luckily, the dress I wore covered my legs so they wouldn't be seen if they shivered. So far, I've made no mistakes. Garyson and I stood facing each other, my hand in his. We looked into each other's eyes. "Alpha Garyson do you swear that you will respect and protect your mate?" "I do." He replied without hesitation. "From this day forward do you swear that you will only love your mate until the end of your life?" "I do." My eyes were moist and so was his. We'd both been looking forward to this moment so much. It wasn't just a simple vow, it was a deep commitment and trust between us to engrave our lov
Mera.I did five days of Luna training and I have improved so much. She passed on tips and experiences to help me manage the pack better. Her encouragement and support has helped me become more confident."You're doing great!" She praised me without mincing words."The Luna ceremony is coming up the day after tomorrow. I'm a little bit nervous." I crossed my arms over my chest and took a deep breath.I couldn't control my nerves when I thought about all the members of the pack I was going to face. I wanted to perform better."You're fine. They'll all have your back." She smiled and patted the back of my hand.I knew this was a process I had to go through. Now I was full of confidence. I believed I could do it. I'm not alone, there are many people behind me who silently support me.I didn't have a home before. After I came to the pack, I have a warm home.At that moment, the maid appeared in front of me anxiously."Luna, the Alpha wants to see you about something important." She said t
Mera.The current Luna invited me for a walk in the garden. She is Garyson's mother, and the Luna who is loved by the pack members.I will learn from her how to be a good Luna, which is something I have to learn. Because I will be Alpha Garyson's wife.The Luna ceremony is coming up in a week. I must learn more about managing the pack and appearing before the members in better shape.An Omega she-wolf led me to the garden. When I arrived at the garden, Luna was already there.Her chocolate brown hair is smooth and shiny with soft waves that fall over her shoulders. Her blue eyes deepen in blue the second she meets mine."Mera, come here." She gave me an enthusiastic wave. The slight arch of her eyebrows, paired with the softness of her eyes, gave me a sense of her kindness towards me."Luna, are you going to teach me how to be a good Luna today?" I moved towards her, the corners of my mouth curving up in a faint curve.She nodded and said, "Yes. Let's walk and talk."We walked along th
Mera.If Garyson hadn't taken the initiative to mention Quinn, I'd almost forgotten about her. Those days imprisoned in the basement were so painful that I don't want to recall it.She tortured me for three days. Every day was like a nightmare. My body was stabbed with needles by her. I clenched my teeth and my body trembled uncontrollably. Garyson noticed my trembling."Mera, what's wrong with you?" His tone was filled with concern for me."I'm just remembering the days when Quinn tortured me." I tightened my grip on his hand, trying to calm myself."Don't think about what's already happened. I won't let any harm come to you in the future." He patted my back gently to give me some comfort.I took a deep breath and nodded at him to show that I had calmed down."If you don't want to go to the dungeon, you can go to your room first." He offered."I want to go!" I said firmly. I had to face the shadows of my past and bravely face
Garyson.My father wanted my mate to be a female of high birth who could help the Blood Moon pack gain more allies. Alpha's daughter was the best choice. Beta's daughter was barely acceptable. However, he would never allow my mate to be an Omega, let alone a human.He never understood the importance of a soul mate because he never had one himself. He was an Alpha without a soul mate, so he couldn't understand the special connection I had with Mera, or the deep feelings we had for each other.He is preventing me from marrying Mera because he believes that such a marriage would weaken my bloodline and affect the heirs of the pack.However, the news that Mera was now pregnant caught him off guard. His eyes widened in surprise, his expression frozen in shock. He shifted his eyes from me to Mera, as if he couldn't believe his ears.I didn't tell too many people about Mera's pregnancy, I kept it a secret. It was the only leverage I had."Pregnant?" He asked uncertainly."Yes. My mate is pre
Mera.Although I have left the castle, my friend Hannah is still imprisoned there. She is about to be sold to Alpha of the Starlight pack, who has a penchant for torturing slaves. If she is sold, she will surely be brutally tortured.We depend on each other and help each other. When I was in trouble, she wouldn't hesitate to help me and support me. Now, I must do everything I can to help her as she once helped me.Garyson is an honoured Alpha, he has great power and influence. I have no doubt that he will be able to help Hannah.I looked over at him, my lips pursed into a line. I didn't know how to say it. I felt embarrassed.He seemed to see my difficulty and took the initiative, "What do you want to say? We're mates and I wish I knew all your troubles. Maybe I can solve your troubles for you.""Can you help me get my friend Hannah out of the castle? If she does get sold to the Alpha of the Starlight pack, she could die. I know it's complicated, but I really don't know what to do." I
Mera."I'll do everything I can to make up for my mistakes and protect you and our child forever." He said to me seriously.I couldn't control the tears that poured out of my eyes. My bones shivered as I thought back to the days when I was tortured by Quinn. She stabbed my body with needles and stomped on my palms with her feet. Those tortures were over.I finally held out until Garyson came to rescue me. I knew he would come for me. Every time I couldn't hold on any longer, he appeared in front of my eyes. It was him who kept me going.I cried silently, staring at Garyson without looking away.He gently wiped the tears from my face and stroked my cheek tenderly. His eyes were filled with concern and guilt for me. He blamed himself for not protecting me.My hand was wrapped in gauze. I shakily raised my hand and stroked his face."You don't need to blame yourself." I struggled to make a sound. My voice feels like some razor blade is cutting through my throat.I understand what he did,
Garyson. I saw Mera faint on the floor. I could hardly breathe. What had she suffered? My heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp knife, and the pain was excruciating.The surroundings were terrible. A suffocating stench filled the air, accompanied by the smell of mould and decay. There was no light in the basement, only a faint light cast in through the tiny windows. The walls were covered in cracks and stains, and thick dust had accumulated on the floor.The closed iron cage blocked off every possible escape route, cutting her off from the outside world.In this dark, damp and dirty environment, Mera lay curled up alone and helpless on the floor.I didn't hesitate to destroy the cage, prying the bars open with all my might, just to free her from this dank prison. When the bars of the cage broke, I immediately knelt down next to Mera and gently picked her up off the ground with both hands.Her body was light and seemed to have lost its vitality, and my heart was broken. I he
Mera.A basin of ice-cold water was thrown on my face, and I was instantly awakened from my stupor. The ice-cold water sent a stinging chill through me. My vision cleared. I look around and realise I'm still in the dank basement.Quinn stood in front of me with a devious smile on his face."I can help you end your suffering if you admit your mistake to me."Her ultimate goal was to kill me. However, she wanted to torture me before killing me. There was no way I could give in, much less die. I had to live!I hadn't met Garyson yet, hadn't told him I was pregnant with our child. No matter how hard it was, I had to stay alive until he did.A sharp pain shot through my body. There are countless pinholes in my skin, but that's hard to spot if you don't look closely. I could barely move my hand, it was probably broken."You think that's going to make me give in?" I said in a shaky voice. "You're wrong. I will not give in to you."Quinn's mouth lifted in a grim smile. "We'll see how long you
