LunaThe party was in full swing, and as expected, I found myself shadowing my father like a brand-new accessory he couldn't wait to flaunt. It wasn't his fault, of course. He was only trying to make me feel more involved and connected to the pack. But it was still irksome to never truly enjoy these gatherings without being paraded around like a trophy."Wow, Alpha Robles, you've done an incredible job raising your daughter. It's hard to believe that soon you'll be passing the torch to her," Beta Montez of the Blue Moon Pack said, sporting a smile that couldn't have been more artificial.It was evident to me that he had little interest in my presence or in discussing me with my father. However, my father remained blissfully oblivious to this fact. I often wondered whether he genuinely failed to pick up on such social cues or chose to ignore them deliberately."Well, one of the main reasons I decided to host this grand 60th birthday party is because I'm quite certain that by the time I
Luna The party had started and just like I expected, I haven't stopped following my father around like some new toy he was waiting to show off. I knew it wasn't his fault or anything because he was only trying to help me be more connected, but I still found it really annoying that I never really got to enjoy these parties without having to follow my father around like some trophy that needs to be shown off. "Wow, Alpha Robles, you've done an amazing job raising your daughter. I can't believe that soon enough, you'll be stepping down to let her take over from you," Beta Montez of the Blue Moon Pack said, wearing a smile that I could tell was fake. It was very clear to me that you wasn't very interested in having me around him or talking to my father about me, but of course, my father would never realize this. Sometimes I wondered to myself if he really didn't sense these things, or if he was just choosing to pretend like he didn't see it."Well, one of the biggest reasons why I
Third Person Pov The look on Luna's face already told Lucas all he needed to know. He knew that his comment was going to make her uncomfortable, but coming here today, he had made up his mind that he was going to be honest with her no matter what. He already believed that there was no point trying to hide his thoughts any longer, because he hadn't stopped thinking about her in days. "Listen Lucas, I don't know what goes through your mind when you say things like this, but I'm starting to get really irritated by it. I get that you may be feeling some type of way around me because of the bond, but the sooner you realise that your comments aren't helping either of us, the better things are going to be," she spat out, not bothering to mask her anger. She didn't like the fact that he was only careless with his comments, and she also didn't like how she always allowed herself to almost believe the words of his mouth.She constantly had to remind herself that the only reason he even a
As the night wore on, I excused myself from my father's side, craving a moment of solitude away from the watchful eyes and prying remarks. Stepping onto the balcony, I let the cool night breeze wash over me, hoping it would clear my mind. The stars above shimmered their distant light with a calming presence amidst the chaos of the party below. Lost in my thoughts, I was startled when someone else joined me on the balcony. Beta Montez was the same man who had questioned my capabilities earlier. His expression seemed different now, devoid of the earlier sarcasm, replaced with something akin to genuine curiosity. "I didn't mean to offend you back there," he said, his voice surprisingly soft. I arched an eyebrow, not expecting such a shift in tone. "It takes more than a few condescending remarks to offend me, Beta Montez," I replied, my voice steady. He nodded, his gaze fixed on the night sky. "Your father speaks highly of you. He sees something in you that many of us fail to recognize
Luna Simply saying I was annoyed would be an understatement to explain how furious I was at the moment. I don't think that I've ever been this upset at any point in my life, and it was so bad to the point where I didn't think I could carry on with whatever was going on at the party. On realising that I was no longer in that state of mind, I quickly left the party hall, and returned to the packhouse. I didn't want anyone to see me leaving, because I knew it was only going to warrant questions, when the last thing I wanted was to have anybody questioning me. After successfully living without anyone spotting me, I made my way to the packhouse, ran into my bedroom, and as soon as I got in, I slam the door behind me, locked the door shut, and burst into tears without even realizing it. I hated the fact that I was starting to feel so frustrated with myself, even going as far as wondering if there was something wrong with me. I couldn't understand how Lucas didn't seem half as both

Lucas could tell by the expression on Luna's face that she was absolutely pissed, but instead of feeling bad about it, he felt even more amused that she was still easily triggered by the word ‘crazy’.He had noticed over the years that Luna didn't like to be called crazy, and he had always found that weird, especially since Luna was what he would describe as the living definition of a crazy woman. Everything about her was crazy to him, and he had expected that by now, she had gotten used to being seen as a crazy woman without getting upset about it. "Did you just call me crazy, or did I happen to hear wrongly?" Luna asked, even though she knew for sure that Lucas had called her crazy. If there was one word she didn't like to hear, it was the exact word he said, and it was taking everything in her not to punch him in the face for using the forbidden word on her. As weird as it was that she was easily triggered by the word ‘crazy’, she still didn’t like to hear anyone call her cra
My father's words hung in the air, a bold declaration of his confidence in my abilities. They were met with a mixture of polite applause and cautious nods from the guests, their thoughts concealed behind veils of politeness. Beta Montez, however, seemed to be growing increasingly uncomfortable with my father's unwavering support.As the evening unfolded, I couldn't help but feel a growing weight on my shoulders. It wasn't the weight of responsibility that burdened me; it was the heavy skepticism of others that weighed me down. The guests' sidelong glances and whispered conversations made it clear that they had reservations about me assuming the Alpha position at such a young age.I excused myself from the main gathering, needing a moment of solitude. Stepping out into the cool night air, I found solace in the moon's soft glow. The night had always been my sanctuary, a place where I could gather my thoughts and find clarity.I took a deep breath, my thoughts racing. I couldn't blame th
