NOSTALGIA OR IS IT?

last update 最終更新日: 2025-04-21 17:50:41

The carriage screeched to a stop as we stopped in front of the manor. The gruelling two day journey had finally come to an end.

I looked at the manor that had served as my humiliation ground, as the not so nice memories came to my forefront.

I rubbed my arms together for warmth. Not to act unbothered, but I was very worried.

How were they going to welcome me?

With open arms or with scorned eyes?

I couldn't tell.

Caden glanced at me. “Are you ready?”

He was much better than he had been the previous day. “You know you have me here.” He continued and I nodded. If I was a bit confused before, I wasn't anymore.

He got out of his side, came down to open my own part of the door.

We had stopped at the entrance of the village, to avoid the attention of some nosy pack members.

Sophia came down, carrying my bag and hers, and together we walked to the gate.

The gate looked the same.

But I was not the same. I was not the same Aria Stonemore who had left, clothes torn and humiliated before almos

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   A DAY IN MY LIFE

    Aria's POVIt was back again, the dream, it was as vivid as ever. I could see flames licking the shadows of those trying to put it out and there was that overwhelming scent of smoke and iron that engulfed me where I was rooted.I was always standing helplessly, not offering help or getting help. The helplessness clawed at my chest as my pulse raced, I tried reaching out as always, a struggle to move and just be close to them. To help them in my little way but slowly their faces, my parents blurred out before me as their terrifying sharp scream plunged and twisted my heart in pain. It hurts! Then the struggle to do something became intense as I shouted at the top of my voice then I heard it, loud and clear in my head…I was brought back to reality by the piercing sound from the metal gong alarm, I jolted upright with my heart pounding as I gasped for air in my small cramped frigid room. I was sweating profusely as the familiar shiver of disappointment hit and washed over me as I looked

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   …AND I MET HIM

    Aria's POVI moved tirelessly as the entire day went in a blur of orders, of snapping voices and of aching muscles. I moved from one end to the other, decorating the packhouse and its gate.The streets of the city were decorated by pack members but I was left with the task of decorating the city central where the main festival would be taking place. There was a little help but I couldn't really call it help because they just barked orders and pointed out what I should do while they did the easy task involved.If I didn't do a good job, they would tear it down and ask me to do it again. They scrutinized everything I did, even when I was polishing the floors. They were either barking orders or throwing insults in my way or shoving me out of the way to look like they were the one doing most of the work.“Hey, Omega! You need to be careful with those clumsy hands of yours," one of the older maids suddenly barked, almost startling me as I carefully set a row of crystal glasses on the table

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   INDEED, I SPOKE OUT

    Aria's POVThe meeting room was stifling as every face in the room turned towards me, one could see that most of them looked at me like I was some fragile flawed creature that happened to be on display. I had been commanded to kneel down before the assembled cabinet officials and the two Alphas despite Alpha Caden displeasure.I could feel my heart pounding like ever before in my chest as the whispers I heard which stopped and floated around me, I tried not to coward out at their sharp and judgemental whispers and gaze.I instead kept my head and gaze lowered as I tried to steel myself against the endless wave of embarrassment, shame and humiliation from last night that I was still suffering from. I slightly looked up as the whispering shifted into murmuring, Alpha Talon sat at the end of the room with his eyes flickering with intense cold and a dismissive gleam.Just beside him, adjacently, Alpha Caden who I have come to learn his name, sat with a warm gaze which steadily rested on m

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   MY NEW LIFE

    Aria's POVSitting in the passenger seat and with my hands twisted tightly in my lap, I stared out of the window enjoying the landscape that rushed by, all in a blur. As much as I was enjoying this, my mind was somewhere else and just spiraling in worry, hope and there was a persistent feeling of unease that I couldn't seem to calm.I was venturing into the unknown, after just leaving everything behind, the only pack I had known, my past that was as horrible and filthy as my hands with no belongings I own whatsoever. It was just me, the filthy worn out clothes and myself that was blindly following a man I barely know into an uncertain future, just because he has told me to trust him.Beside me was the said man, Alpha Caden, who kept glancing at me at intervals, so often, with his ever gentle smiles. He had tried breaking the silence with some small talk like asking about things I loved, my favorite foods and hobbies I loved and my response had always been a shrug or a stare.How was I

    Aria's p.o.vOf course I am home.Who would have thought of it in this life or even the next that a poor and lowly girl like me from the deepest slums in one of the most material and status oriented countries will be able to find her place in a world as cruel as this.And not just any place, but a royal position, one that was splendid and almost totally exciting to whoever beheld the sight of the offer of it.It was just too irresistible.Absolutely no one would refuse to call this his or her home. Especially when one could only live of such a life in her wildest of imaginations.Such was my story, and now I am gradually begging to feel like I had a place in the socials after all, maybe all that I needed was to only stay out and silent all the whileYeah surely that was all I needed to do.Fate was always sure to make all things align for good at the end of the dayAll that was needed to be done was to just keep up with the hopeI smiled as I relaxed my muscles in the cold waters of t

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   THE HUGE LOSS

    ARIA'S POV“They're here.” I said to no one in particular but it was too late. We were already surrounded.I knew my guts had been correct. They had been trying to test us, to see all the manpower we had and we had given them just that.And now? Now we had nothing to use as leverage.A masked man, one who I supposed was their leader, stepped forward. “We see you are still just as stubborn, Aria.” He said. His voice was disguised and his smell was tainted with something I couldn't place. Somehow, he still smelt familiar.“What do you want?” Caden asked. His voice was strong, devoid of fear.“You have been ignoring all the warnings that have been given to you in times past.” The leader continued, totally ignoring Caden and facing me.He waved his hands and his men advanced. The carriage door had been locked from the inside, but we knew that it was just a matter of time till they got to us.“Do you trust me?” Caden asked, his eyes looking into mine.I nodded, unsure of what to say.

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   THE FIRST STEP OF THE JOURNEY

    ARIA'S POV“Am I supposed to pack this as well?” Sophia asked with a slight frown. I knew I was putting her through a lot of stress but somehow I couldn't help it.We were going back to the pack I'd been humiliated almost all my life. And when I meant “we,” I meant Caden, Sophia and I.Sophia was still an option. I didn't know if we had space in the carriage to contain her.I sighed. “I think we should carry it as well.”It was going to be hard to make a choice on all the elegant dresses, Caden had gotten for me.And somehow, to be truthful, I wasn't in a fix on what type of dress to actually choose. I wanted them to know that the Aria Stonemore who had left, humiliated by almost all the pack, laughed at by the visitors who had come far and wide as a result of Alpha Talon's humiliation and the Aria Stonemore who had returned were completely different persons.I hadn't gained all of my self confidence but at the same time, I wasn't that awkward young girl who had been bullied by master

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   TALON

    ARIA'S POVThe world felt thinner lately.The news had filtered to me. Caden's position as the leader of the pack was being threatened all because of me. I felt really guilty. Sophia had said that the elders had been dissatisfied with Caden's performance in the pack for a while and were just using me as a font to push him out. I'd also heard that he had stood his ground. According to the news that had gotten to me, Caden had said that he wasn't going to choose between his Luna and his pack. I couldn’t sleep.Not when Caden's position felt threatened in the pack. “Are you sure you can stay alone, my lady?” Sophia asked and I nodded. “I can.” I tried to reassure her. But could I? Not really.“Goodnight, my lady.” Sophia said bowing slightly before leaving the room. The night was going to be a long one, and I wasn't sure I had the mental capacity to stand it. ****I couldn't sleep. Everytime I closed my eyes, I saw them. The crying voices, the severed heads and the bloodied bodi

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   DIVISION

    ARIA'S POVThe whispers had not stopped at all. Not one bit. Tongues had been wagging and I could sense the fear among the servants.Some of them were bold enough to make their whispers louder than normal. Some of them no longer looked me in the eyes.I was on my way to the dining hall to have breakfast when I passed by a guard.He bowed. But his bow was not one of deference. He was wary. The maids hovered round the room but immediately dispersed the moment they sighted me.I felt all alone. Even Maria who'd look at me, without bringing her eyes down hurriedly scurried out after serving breakfast.Caden had left the manor in a hurry, saying something in the sense that he needed to work on something at the pack.And so, I was all alone in the dining room.I looked up at Sophia. “Did…did I wake up with horns on my head?”She smiled. “No, my lady. It's just that they're a lot terrified.”I paused. The teacup mid way into my mouth. “How did they know?”She giggled. “News travels fast

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   MORE POWER OR?

    ARIA'S POVI was dried up, but still very much energized. I really had powers. Training was not yet over. I really wanted it to be over so I would return to the manor and celebrate. I needed to. “Are you done resting?” Dylan asked. Caden had already returned to his duties. I nodded. “That's good, cause we still have to continue.” He said, standing up and motioning for us to go into the forest. “From what I've gathered, we still have a lot of work to do. And because we don't know what your powers are, we have to try out almost all the things.” I was confused. “Can't we just focus on the water for now?” I asked. He shook his head. “I'm using Paria's template for you, Aria. She was good with the water and she was also good with the sword. So I need to confirm if that's the same thing for you so we can know where to actually concentrate more on.” This was the longest Dylan had said to me since the beginning of the training. I nodded in understanding and together, we made our way

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   THE TASTE OF POWER

    ARIA'S POV “My lady,” Sophia whined. “You'll be late for your training.” I tossed. “Just five minutes more.” I said to her and turned to find a more comfortable position. “That was exactly what you said 30 minutes ago.” She grumbled. “Master Caden will be pissed if he comes in here and sees that you're not ready.” I hmmed her. My entire body was aching me. I know I'd been fired up to continue the trainings with Dylan yesterday, but now I wasn't so sure I would survive another day. “Just five minutes, Sophia.” And in a bid to extend my time, I asked her another question in the hopes that she wouldn't notice. “Have you prepared the bath water?” “My Lady!” She groaned. “The water has been changed three times because you like it three times.” “Oh my god, Sophia. You wouldn't just relent.” I groaned and rolled off the bed. She smiled sheepishly. “That's exactly why you love me my Lady.” She said and I rolled my eyes. I was late. I knew. Dylan would throw all the tantrums in the wo

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   THE TRAINING

    ARIA'S POVThe time was here. If I was going to beat the enemy camp then I needed to discover my powers and train myself. This wasn't going to be a child's play. Processes had been put in place to train me. For instance, I was going to meet with the best swordmaster of the pack, Dylan. I would have actually preferred Caden to teach me but he was held up in his duties and without saying it, we both knew time was no longer on my side. The nightmares had not stopped, neither had they reduced. Instead, Paria's sorrowful face was etched in my face like a fingerprint and I couldn't forget the marks on the creature's body. But I'd decided to move on. I'd moved back into the main part of the manor but had still not started going outside. The servants whispering had not stopped. The ones that came in contact with me, refused to meet my gaze, just doing whatever thing that brought them there and leaving almost immediately. Sophia was the only one who managed to stay in the room with me,

  • The Luna Queens Blood Moon Curse   THE CREATURE’S DEATH

    ARIA'S POV I’d made up my mind. I was going to leave. No, I wasn't going to run away. I needed to leave to know about my history. I was tired of being lied to. Tired of second-guessing every choice I made like they weren't the right choices. I had retired to my room and was pacing, confused on how to actually break the news to Caden. He would be devastated, but I couldn't help it. I really had to leave. From my quarters, I heard Damian say something and I guessed that Caden had come back. I mustered my brightest smile and plastered it on my face. “You're back!” I said a little too cheerfully when the doors opened. Caden was indeed back, but his countenance was not smiling. His shoulders were sagged and he walked like the whole world was resting on his shoulders. “What happened?” I asked as I led him to the bed. He looked at me, his eyes cloudy. “ The guards found a body.” his eyes were cloudy. “The creature’s” I gasped. It was as if a force had pushed me down and I found mys
