Chapter Thirty-eight
Sophie. "Greetings Luna, may I come in". Lena voice sounded from outside my door, as I spunned to face it. "Come in Lena, the door isn't locked". I tell her,and in a blink she pushed the door opened as she strode in. "Greetings Luna". She greeted once more bowing her head to the ground. "Speak". I demand. "The designer is downstairs, she asked if she can come in and dress you". "What for?". I questioned, asy brows furrowed together. "The Alpha didn't tell you". Well I wouldn't be asking if he did. "Your Luna Ceremony is scheduled to take place in three hours time". I blinked. Wait What? Why would Reece just reschedule the date without even first informing me, I was just released from being held hostage by Darren yesterday, and the least thing I needed at the moment was the anxiety that came with preparing for my Luna Ceremony. But much to my shock I didn't feel nervous, like I normally do. Maybe because my previous Luna Ceremony made it look so simple,it was just for me to state my bow and under go a ritual. It didn't seem so dreaded like I always imagined. In a blink I flick my gaze to my wrist watch, it was fifteen minutes past four, and Lena had said the Ceremony was scheduled to hold in three hours, Reece had fixed it an hour earlier this time. "Tell her to come in at once". I murmured, as Lena spunned and leave. I wasn't going to be wearing any fany underwear like I did last time, there really was no need for that. Soon a knock sounded on my door, as Lena pulled it open, with Elara following behind us. Like always, she rush past Lena engulfing me in a tight her, she pull away after a minute. "Oh Luna, I heard of what happened at the previous Luna Ceremony and how you were kidnapped I hope your find now, and not worried concerning tonight's own". She prod as I shaked my head. If anything I was looking forward to it more than I did for the last Luna Ceremony. "Do you want me to call my sister, to apply you a costume makeup, you seemed to be really into the idea last time". I chuckled, her sister price was outrageously high, I had to hack Reece account before I could afford the makeup. And also Darren had seen my true face and new my actual identity, I had done the makeup to serve as a mask but since he had already broken through that mask I knew who I was,I doubted they was any need for such unnecessary spending, so I shooked my head. "No, I'm trying something different tonight. I want to go on a natural look". "Fine by me. And also I brought you new underwear, but I'm not sure you might need them since the Alpha didn't see the previous ones". She murmured starring at my neck,and it takes me a second to catch up on what she meant. As wolves whenever someone choosed a mate,it was necessary the mating rituals was carried out and they consummated their bond as soon as possible, after which the male will then sink his fangs into the neck of the female marking her, and stating his claims. Alpha's where normally more impatient then normal wolves and stated their claims on their mates the exact night their mating Ceremony was conducted. But with Reece and I we were yet to consummate our bond and he was yet to mark me as well. I doubted he ever will, I wasn't even going to let him ever touch me again. As for the previous underwear Reece had seen it yesterday in the bathroom when I took off my clothes, but there was no need telling Elara, she didn't have to know as it was none of her concern. Suddenly, I felt a strange urge to wear the new underwear she brought, I knew Reece was never going to see it, but I just didn't feel like repeating any of my old underwear again. "I would use the new underwear". I tell her taking off my dress, along with my bra and panties. Elara places the new underwear on the bed, as my mouth goes agape and my eyes grew double it's size. The new underwear screamed pure sex appeal. It was a gold laced bra and panties with a higher quality of lace than the previous one. The pant was a laced drawstring that exposed my butt as I put it on making me feel like a whore in it, rather than a Luna. I gently reached for the bra and pulled it on, clasping the hook tightly, as it heldmy breasts firmly barely covering anything, and through the lips my pink nipples could be seen. Heat instantly rose to cheeks as I darted my eyes to Elara, I'm not with the Luna dress,the people who held me hostage had rid me of it. The Alpha told me I made the new one, that's exactly the same. I raised my brow. "When? last night?". She nod. So age stayed up all through the night making my Luna dress,did she even have any night rest, and I hoped Reece paid her enough for the dress. Motioning to her girls, they pull out the dress from a material bag extending it to Elara as she ambled to me, wearing me it. This one fit more perfectly than the last one, I noticed a few differences were made, or maybe a lot. The stomach part of the dress was now a see through covered with scanty petals,such that my stomach could be seen. The back of the dress was equally opened from my neck to my bra lengthy,causing Elara to push the back of my bra downwards, and even the v neck infront, it was much downer. In summary the dress now had alot of openings,I was grateful after today I would never have to wear it again, I hated wearing dress like this. She fastens the lace of my dress, before packing my hair in a neat bun. "You look beautiful as always Luna". She smiled, as I smiled too, I was really looking forward to my Luna Ceremony today, and I had feeling a big surprise awaited us all.Chapter Thirty-nine Sophie Elara left not long after dressing me with her girls, as I kept stealing glances at my wrist watch, waiting for it to be seven o'clock, and oh the clock seemed to be ticking ever slow. Soon, I lost track of time as I play a chess came by myself. I don't even hear when my room door open or Darren enters in, until his voice breaks through the walls of the room."You don't plan on leaving your face exposed. Someone might recognise you, besides your previous pack Alpha is here".He growled, as I instantly raised my gaze to him,and instant chill gripping me. My eyes momentarily darts to the world clock."Is ten minutes to seven,and I'm not even the best in doing makeup. Also my previous pack Alpha and I only had one previous encounter, and that was eight years ago when I was introduced into the pack, I doubted he would still recognize me". I tell him, as his expression remained stoic."I don't think the risk it worth it". He state, and I want to argue with that
Chapter Forty Sophie.I instantly leaped, out the stage as the realization of it all dawned on me, and before Regnolds could realise what was happening it was already too late as he had poured the water on the spot were I was. The ground instantly burning in liquid, as it broke and the pogent scent of strong acid filled the air.I flinched like wise the crowd, that would have been me if I wasn't fast enough to put the pieces together."What the fuck!". Regnolds growled pretending to be shocked, but I know is all an act."How did acid even get here, didn't you know it was acid, and a very strong one at that, were you trying to get the Luna killed".He yelled at Louis who looked Just as confused as the rest of the crowd."I swear someone swapped the bucket. I don't know...I don't listen in on their conversation again as my eyes darted around for any sign of Reece or Ryker, but there was none.I instantly tried mindlinking Reece to let him know the Shapeshifter demon was here, I couldn
Chapter Forty-oneReeceRyker and I, reached the royal pack house in no time as we shifted back to our human form. Long story short, Darren had mindlinked us during the Luna Ceremony of the Shapeshifter demon killing some of the pack members and watchers by the boundary. He told us, he was certain the Shapeshifter demon had not gone far, and we should come and soon as possible so we could find him.That was why I had to leave Evelyn in the safe hands of Jeremy,the head warrior and watcher to watch over her, while I left with Ryker, we didn't want to create a sense and decided to chase him ourselves without bothering other wolves. Some of Darren men were by the boundary searching from various corners for the demon, we were so close to finding him when Evelyn mindlinked, that I had to close our mindlinked so I could focus.And soon it became like we were dancing in circles, and the Shapeshifter demon wasn't actually there as we thought. Jeremy mindlinked me seconds later about Louis try
Chapter Forty-twoReeceJeremy comes out a second later, as he leaves with the rest of the warriors."We should get back inside". I murmured, starring at the sky, believing my father was looking down at me, as I wondered what he would had dine had he been in my shoes."We should go back inside". I repeated grabbing Evelyn wrist as we three went in,and slammed the door shut."I didn't see Darren today". She stated freeing her wrist from my hold, as she sat down on the couch.Ryker and I shared a brief glance. I didn't know if she realised what she did, but she just called her father by his name, without even adding his title or anything."He was with us at the boundary we were trying to find the Shapeshifter demon"."Did you see him". She prod, as I blinked confused by her question, as if on cue she elaborates."You said you were with him by the boundary, did you see him, did you see Darren with your two eyes, because I can't recall him ever leaving my room". Again she called him by hi
Chapter Forty-threeReece"If that's the case then we would need to release Louis tommorow". Ryker stated as I nodded, but Evelyn shook her head, having other suggestions."We can't release him if we do, the Shapeshifter demon would know I told you. We need to make everyone believe he is dead including the guards and maids, no one must know he is alive, because we don't know who is to be trusted. If the Shapeshifter demon learns Louis is dead he will feel safe and believe no one figured him out, I'm most definitely sure that would also make him want to strike again".She murmured, as I nodded. "Fine, but Darren would atleast need to know since he is helping us discover the demon"."Helping us, or luring us further to destruction". She chuckled bitterly. "Listen Reece, I'm not saying my father is guilty of anything, but I don't trust him, and you shouldn't trust him either, remember he was the last person you were with before your convulsing began at the previous Luna Ceremony. The doc
Chapter Forty-fourSophie.I felt a hard surface pressed closely behind me, as my eyes instantly fluttered opened, the bright light, shining through the half opened grey cottons greeting me. I blinked, where was I, and before I could ponder further the heavenly scent of earth after rain invaded my nostrils. I had fall asleep waiting for him,I thought he would never show up, but you couldn't blame me I'm used to Reece dissapointing me.I craned my face to the side, to find Reece still sleeping so Peaceful. He looked just like a little boy, without even any care in the world. I must admit the reason I had decided to sleep in Reece bed with him, was because I was scared, but the warmth of his body against mine felt oddly comfortable, like that was the way it was meant to be,Reece sleeping beside me. I couldn't remember the last time I slept so peacefully, I found my self thinking of lying to Reece that I was still scared even though I felt much better today,just so I could relive this mo
Chapter Forty-five Sophie "I will be heading to my room now". I murmured, and without waiting for a response from him I ambled directly to my room, slamming the door shut once I was inside as I pulled out my silky night gown and strode to the bathroom.While in the shower, I tried to let the cold water calm my mind and soul, but it was rather too difficult. I could have been burned, killed and forgotten, without any trace behind. The horrible thought kept resounding in my head as alot of what it's ran through my mind. What if I didn't notice all the suspicious signs? What if it was already to late before I leaped off the stage.'As much as they are alot of what if's to be considered, nothing happened to you, your here and your save now, and that is all that matters'. Myra mumbled reassuringly through our mindlinked as I smiled.'I miss having you around Myra, it can be so lonely when you feel your all alone and have no one to confide in'. I pout.'I was angry because I felt you were
Chapter One Sophie "Beta Ryker". I called out, but he was already too far away to hear me. Without sparing a second, I pushed through the crowd; the background music faded and was forgotten in the rush. Slipping through the door I saw him enter into, my heart raced, but I couldn't go back now. I needed to do this. Captivate this male and seduce him, or I would remain at a corner of the wall forever and never have my happily ever after. As werewolves, it has always been a tradition to be mated swiftly after you turned eighteen, or at least before you turned twenty-five. I'm currently twenty-nine; I will be turning thirty in a few days. Along the past years, I've earned myself a spot along the wall, watching everyone feel that instant connection with their beloved that's impossible to explain. My three younger sisters were no exceptions. But tonight, however, was different; rather than constantly waiting to be noticed, I was going to get myself noticed, and my target was the hands

Chapter Thirty-sevenReeceI shifted my gaze to Darren who sat directly opposite me, and I could only imagine how fantastic it would be to simply close the distance between us and punched him in the throat. The asshole irked the shit out of me,and made me lose my temper, whereas his daughter only calmed me down."Your not saying anything Reece. Didn't you hear what Darren just said". Ryker who sat beside Darren remarked, and sometimes I wondered how he even became my beta, when he normally spoked like he reasoned from his anus."Look Reece this is all for the best of our various packs. Evelyn Luna Ceremony has to be conducted tommorow so we could go on with our previous plan of luring and capturing the Shapeshifter demon"."What part of the new date for Evelyn Luna Ceremony won't be tommorow. Now listen Den as much as I understand and respect that she is your daughter, the moment she became mated to me, you lost every say in her life, and she became only accountable to me as both her
