Gianna POV
After meeting with the pack elders which left me feeling apprehensive because of my voice restraint, I went straight to the general sitting room to listen to Angel's lecture about the coronation ceremony.
I expected the elders to be mean and give me demeaning looks and throw rude remarks my way just the way Dane had portrayed them to be but to my utmost surprise, they all accepted me with open arms and even made compliments on my beauty.
Allowing my eyes to scan the room to make sure I was in the right room, I couldn't help but feel relieved because I couldn't start imagining how it would have felt like being outrightly rejected.
Though they would not have the courage to throw derogatory comments my way because of Dane, I would have felt uncomfortable with their intense glares.
"First, you must know that this ceremony is divided into ten stages, meaning the process would last for ten days." She said and my eyes widened in surprise.
Gianna's POVI listened with rapt attention as Angel's brows furrowed as she explained things to me while I ticked it on her iPad when she was done with it."After the oath, there is the anointing which is done by the Alpha himself." She said wriggling her eyebrows in a funny way, making me blush. "The Alpha anoints your head with the sacred oil, marking you as the chosen one. After the anointing, there is the passing of the mantle which is done by the eldest wolf in the pack. He presents you with a mantle of authority which signifies your readiness to bear the weight of your new responsibilities and this is my favorite part, the Ascension. Here, the Luna ascends a dais with the pack's permission and the unique thing about the Ascension ritual is that the Luna's secrets powers are exposed before the eyes of all.""Is this not supposed to be end?" I asked in a bored tone, suddenly losing interest in the whole thing."No, we've the pack introduction where each member of the pack offers
Melissa's POVIf anyone had told me I would become a slave in the rogues pack after enjoying affluence and wealth all my life, I would have probably called the person a liar or asked that the insolent person be killed.It's been weeks of torture and every single day I prayed for any form of escape but none was forthcoming and worse still, my bump was beginning to show though I always managed to conceal it with a stomach girdle but I do not know for how long I would have to keep the pretence.Osbert had practically abadoned me, after locking me up in the cell for days, after being raped by the pack guards, he formally introduced me to his pack members as his maid and introduced a woman as his Luna.Suicide was the only reasonable option at that point, I wished the ground would open and swallow me, to save me from the shame as I looked wordlessly at Osbert as he beamed with pride.The same Osbert who said he would never get married, the same Os
Angel's POVBeing Miles' mate has its perks as well as its downturns, he was just too stubborn and always ends up doing stupid things just because he didn't know how well to control his anger.After his argument with Gianna yesterday, he left the pack house and hasn't returned, no calls or texts from him whatsoever.My calls all went to voicemail and my text messages were left unanswered. I gave up after a while and went to sleep, thinking of the best way to apologize to Gianna for my husband's behavior.I woke up the next morning to see a looming shadow over me, observing my sleeping frame. My wolf stirred inside of me as I opened my eyes slowly wondering who it was.My eyes were still blurry and my mind was still a haze making it difficult for me to comprehend things."What do you want?" I murmured to myself, thinking it was one of the maids. I've been so busy recently as a result of the preparation of the Luna ceremony.
“Move your ass Howard” My voice boom throughout the training field to one of my warrior who slack behind. He easily gives up and fell hard on his bum.“You’re holding everyone back, move Howard” I yell. Howard shrug his shoulder before getting up to his feet and push his legs to move. I see potential in this kid but he doesn’t seem to know it. Everyone keeps on running without turning back to him. No one dare to mock him. Yes, I make sure not to let anyone discourage another pack member. “How’s it going?” I look back to find a shirtless Miles with his arms cross in front of his chest. “As you can see, it’s fuck fun-tastic” I snorted sarcastically. He shook his head and made his way to stand beside me. “Is it the Howard kid again” he said and I nod my head in return. “How did it go with the warriors?” I ask and Miles scrunch up his face. “Like you said, it’s damn fun.” We both laugh and suddenly I feel this slight tug on my chest. It’s like my wolf is on edge over something and
Rogues…all I am seeing are their red eyes.Hungry for my blood to be spilt in this forsaken territory.My eyes darted around me in fear. Seeing all the shifted wolves eyeing me hungrily. They stood so tall with their grey and black furs challenging me to do it or I will face the consequences. Their eyes darken with no humanity shown in it. Three of them hung out their tongues and the other four have that sinister expression. I am lost and I definitely knew one day I will face some idiot’s rogues. Avoiding trouble was long overdue and here I am facing them. Today was not a lucky day for me. The long bath I enjoyed a while ago was disturbed. I guess peace was never in my dictionary in this foreign land that had become my home a month ago. Leaving my pack was not an option. I was banished from the pack that I grew up in. I wanted to tell of my past and the heartbreak I went through but I guess that’s another story for next time. My concern and focus now are the rogues before me.
Beta MilesMy jaw drop for a second to her reply before it replace again with my anger. How this imbecile rogue can hurt my Alpha. I huff and raised my head high to challenge her. “How can a low life rogue thinks she could get away from this?” I thought as I narrow my eyes at her.I see fear in her eyes which made my wolf and I smile. She should fear us? After all were the Blood Pack.FlashbackIt wasn’t long after I dismissed everyone from the training that I felt the pain. When our Alpha left I add another thirty five minutes of training before dismissing everyone. The pain I felt was too much to handle and I look around to find our pack members screaming in pain. “Something’s happening to our Alpha” my wolf Harold says as he howl in pain too. I agree with him because I know our bond with our Alpha is strong and only he can cause this pain. I wanted to run and look for him but the pain was numbing my movements. When the pain is gone I quickly get up on my feet. “Marc protec
Dane’s PovThe hardest thing to do was move on from love. The love that betrays my heart and kills my soul without mercy. Never in my life did I expect this kind of betrayal to happen. I always envy those who were victims of a love affair but never thought it could happen to me. “Moon goddess! Why me?” My mind run with thoughts as Miles, the rogue and I make our way back home. I know I can’t automatically switch my feelings and move on easily. I mean I am going through the hardest time in my life. However, I can’t help but keep asking myself what I failed to give to her. Did I ever make her never feel lonely because as long as I can remember I never made her feel insecure and unloved? I gave her my everything, even the title that she desires the most. ‘Luna.’ Look at how we turn out. After so many years of loving her, she ended up tossing me in the land of rogues like trash. Like I don’t deserve an explanation and a goodbye note. At least give me something I deserve. Not a fuck
Chapter 5: DramaGianna’s Pov‘SLAP’I feel a sting on my right cheek. The female’s eyes burn with rage as she accusingly pointed her finger. “How dare you seduce him” she spats at me. “You filthy, worthless rogue” she raises her hand and slap me on the cheek once again. “Shame on you” she yell at me. It was after when the Alpha left that this flee walk down to the dungeon and demand the guards to open my cell’s door. She threatened them and when the guards finally granted her wish, she enter my cell like a goddess with a missing tooth. Yes, I won’t describe her nicely because she treated me like shit the moment she came inside the cell door even though she’s pretty. What a waste of beauty? I thought and look back at her stormy eyes. She raises her hand again to go for the third round, however I stop her right there. I may granted her the privilege to hit me before but enough is enough. There is a limit to everyone’s kindness and quietness. I am not a mat to be walked on or a
