2024-05-30 00:07:16[Rosie's POV]
Hesse's attitude towards me confused me. A dozen horse-drawn carriages were prepared to carry my luggage to the palace. The maids dismounted and changed my clothes. This dress I'm wearing, isn't it too luxurious for a slave?
“This way, Miss.” Hesse opened the carriage door, accompanying me into it.
Hey. This kind of treatment, almost makes me think Alpha Charles is a good person. But just thinking about it, already makes me almost laugh.
There was no way Alpha Charles would go to such lengths, ordering his subordinates to serve me, without an ulterior motive? No shit He would do that.
“We have arrived, Miss.” Hesse referred to the palace gates that had opened to welcome us.
The sun had already risen when our carriage arrived, so I could see a grand feast being held on the palace's front lawn.
My father's words were no exaggeration. Alpha Charles truly lived in a different world from me.
The palace that stood in front of me seemed to have been born from a dream world. What a pity that such a beautiful place should be led by a cruel Alpha like him.
As soon as I got off the carriage, a horde of uniformed servants ran into the center of the party. They were busy carrying Alpha Charles' clothes and belongings, preparing for the party that was about to begin.
Instantly, I was reminded of my duty. Wasn't I also a servant like them? I'd better join them before Alpha Charles punishes me, right?
Clang!
Just as I was about to follow the horde of servants, I felt something cold and hard touch the back of my head. My eyes squinted slightly, and widened at the long-barreled rifle pointed at me by someone.
“Who are you? I've never allowed a servant to be dressed this luxuriously,” the figure said, his voice full of charisma, yet also cruel. Like a prince who could kill his queen with his charm.
I couldn't fight back. Move a little, and the rifle bullet would pierce my head. Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I saw Hesse running towards me.
Come on, quickly help me from this psychopath Alpha! He's gone crazy and almost killed the person he just met!
“Lord Charles! Stop it! She's your mate!” he screeched from a distance.
My eyes and his were both wide-eyed. So, this Alpha who almost killed me is Alpha Charles!?
“What? She's my Mate?” he said incredulously. His eyes looked at my body like a predator. Not with lust, but the opposite. Hatred.
As if inside me, lived someone he hated so much. This was the first time we met in person. And just one look, I already knew how much he hated me.
“Then kick her out,” he said without thinking. “If she's my Mate, all the more reason to expel her. Hurry up. I don't want the guests to see me with a lowly Luna like her.”
My blood boiled at his insult. I couldn't believe he could so easily insult a living being! Just because he was an Alpha!
“But, she is the Luna chosen by the elders, my Lord,” Hesse said timidly. “And it is the order of the elders to bring her into your chambers.”
“I don't care! Throw her out now!” he snapped angrily. “Explain to the elders, that I reject the Luna they chose. I already have my choice, a Luna I would not be ashamed to walk with.”
“And you.” Alpha Charles pointed at me with his firearm. “I, Charles Vermilion, reject you from my Mate. Now, accept that. And get out of here before I blow your head off.”
The two of us stood facing each other. This close, I could finally see so clearly how hateful his face was.
'Wait a minute.' Suddenly, his expression made me think of Chandite's last words before her death.
'Pretty face, tall body, dragon tattoo. That's right! He's the Alpha that Chandite was talking about! He's the one who killed my father!' I screamed inwardly. Regretfully realizing it now, Chandite wasn't talking nonsense.
He was mentioning the characteristics of the Alpha that attacked our mansion last night. There was no mistaking it. Alpha Charles, he’s the killer!
“Alpha Charles! You fool! You're forbidden to tamper with the sacred ceremonial order!” The feeble and decrepit shrieks of the elders came towards us after being notified by the servants.
Charles looked so panicked at their arrival. His face was full of fear. And suddenly, a crazy idea popped into my head.
“I, Rosie Mauvelous, do not accept rejection from you, Alpha Charles. Instead, claim me now as your mate,” I said loudly.
Alpha Charles was so angry that he slammed his firearm down. “What did you say!? How dare you not acknowledge my rejection? In front of the elders? Do you want me to kill you!?”
“Alpha Charles! Stop it!” the Elders chanted.
“Rosie Mauvelous, good job. You are already bonded. I chose you from among the many Luna's in this world.” Elder of Vermilion smiled proudly, praising my bravery in front of Alpha Charles.
But not Charles. He was so angry, he pulled me into the palace. More precisely, dragged me away from the elders.
“Argh! It hurts!” I complained as he slammed me against the wall. “Let go of me!”
“Listen to me. While I'm being kind to you, you'd better accept my rejection,” he said right in front of my face, his hands gripping my shoulders as if to rip them off.
“I don't accept it,” I said, not changing my mind. Making him even angrier.
“How dare you!” he snapped in disgust. Perhaps in his entire life, I was the only one who dared to go against his orders.
If my body hadn't been protected by the elders, it's not impossible that he would have destroyed me by now.
“Alpha Charles. Make a deal with me. Find out who killed my mother, and I will give you this blood and body.”
He was silent. Not understanding the meaning of my words. “What nonsense are you saying? Do you think I need your damn body?”
Suddenly, his fierce eyes widened, at my finger pointing at the red liquid coming out of his nose.
Alpha Charles was caught off guard. He immediately grabbed something, anything, to cover his nosebleed. Seeing him in disarray, I couldn't help but laugh.
“It's true what the legend says,” I said with smile of satisfaction. “You're on the edge. Without a Luna, your control will be lost and your power will consume you.”
“My mother should have been sacrificed for you. But ever since her death, you've rejected all your mates. Is that why you're weak now?”
“SHUT UP!” he growled. He smashed every item in the room. “You damn Luna have no right to say on my decisions! You know nothing!”
“Make a deal with me,” I said loudly. “This power, this blood, this body, all of it is yours the second you catch my mother's killer. For a dying Alpha like you, I'm sure this negotiation won't hurt.”
“The Contract Luna.”
“What?” I heard him mutter something. That sacred word... it seemed to come out of his mouth. But there's no way he could know it, right? That something is hidden inside my womb.

[Rosie's POV]“Then give me The Contract Luna,” he said, seriously. “Just like your mom, you have it in your womb too, right? Give me that. And I'll fulfill whatever you want.”Alpha Charles, he... He knows everything! Damn it! I know he’s the killer!He knows the secrets of my mother's pack that not even my father knows!“Rosie... This is serious. The Luna Contract... No one has wanted to do it for a century. It's a terrible agreement! You have to reject it!” Liliana woke up, panicked and trying to get my consciousness.“I know,” I said, whispering. “If even my mom won't do it, then it's a terrible deal, isn't it?”The Contract Luna was an agreement between Alpha and Luna that exchange the baby in her womb over a contract agreement.My mother died without successfully carrying out that agreement. And passed on the power in her womb to me. In other words, I'm the only Luna in this world who can fulfill the treaty.But Legend says the contract can only be done once in a lifetime. In ot

[Charles' POV]Knock! Knock! Knock!“Who dares to disturb me!?” The sound of a servant knocking on the door forced me to stop what I was doing. My temper had been boiling since that damn Luna's arrival. “You! Come out! How dare you touch my chamber door with that rotten finger of yours!” I growled at the door as it opened on its own. Whoever it was, I would kill anyone who deliberately played me. Unfortunately, the door opened and revealed the face that had been filling my head.“Hey. Isn't she Rosie? How dare she set her face here.” Darwin, my Wolf, laughed at my misfortune of being visited by that Luna on this hot night. When I wanted to avoid her.“Are you looking to die?” I snapped angrily at her. “Have you forgotten that I rejected you? How many times do I have to tell you I don't want to see you in my room?”“S-sorry, Alpha Charles. It's just that, I was ordered to come to your chamber tonight.” Her voice fearfully trembled with my anger. But, fear is not enough. I wanted her

“Lowlifes! Keep your despicable hands off my Luna!”Bloodshed should never have been revealed in the relationship between a Master and his subordinate. In violation of the commandment engraved in the word, the Alpha must not harm his subordinates if not in matters of warfare.I knew that. My wolf moved on its own.A sweet scent mixed with bitterness, sourced from the neck of a Luna girl lying stiff on the floor of her room. It was like an ecstasy inside my head, like a glass of melody intoxicating my senses.My power was out of control. Not completely controlled by my wolf, but precarious enough to decimate twelve of my subordinates who were working under my control.“Your Majesty!” An unimportant voice began to emerge from behind. It was not enough that I rendered all of my subordinates unconscious, the servant who had no magic power was also hit by my deadly claws.I attacked them all. An Alpha like me with strong blood, has a record of being almost impossible to lose control of his

“Let it go, Elder Arthur. I'm sure Charles' great-brother only meant what he said. We all know a big brother should have more discretion.”The effects of last night's ritual were still eating away at the magic flowing through my veins, astonishingly Darwin suddenly woke up from his slumber and stirred in anger.The same thing never failed to happen every time I met my brother, William Vermilion. For as long as we could remember, the two of us had been brothers who had never been blessed with brotherhood.Ever since my suspicion that he had killed my parents, the great elders had separated the two of us into different castles. But what is that bastard doing here? Should I make him remember how much I hate his presence?“Elders, the crow that reads the news says Charles' great brother has found his destined Luna. So I wonder why I feel the flow of his magic remains so unstable?” came Arthur's question that did not look so pleased.“You're not wrong, that Luna does exist. For the first t

Rosie Mauvelous***It's a dream, make sure it's just a dream. Liliana fought harder than anyone else, constantly brainwashing me, to maintain my mentality that was almost falling apart.My hands hurt, someone cruelly stepped on my belly with his big foot. The big threat came when one of the Beta gang who came to my room late at night, called out the name of the Alpha I was supposed to be paired with.“In the name of the Great Prince Charles, we will purify your body with my seed!”Disgust, shame, humiliation, despair. All the emotions raged in the glass of incompetence that was gulped down directly in reality. No matter how hard I fought, Liliana was just a wolf whose limit was my body.There was no way I could fight twelve hungry Betas with trained bodies. My spirits ebbed and flowed, up and down, between anger and submission.“SHE'S MY MATE!”Did I get it wrong? No. There was no way I could forget that voice. The first expulsion despite how much she needed this body. along with a hu

“Look. There's a name written on the back.” It wasn't me, but Liliana who first noticed that someone had written a brief identity on the almost charred painting.Delancy Vermilion. With the last name Vermilion, I already knew she was Luna who was the princess of this great pack. There was something strange about how that beauty radiated.The Luna named Delancy Vermilion had the scent of an illogical death. She didn't die a natural death. Someone had done something terrible to her.“Rosie.” Liliana broke my concentration again.“Did you find something?” I asked. I realized that my intense interest in Luna Delancy stemmed from her intense curiosity about the photo I was holding.“Haven't you noticed one strange thing? That Luna in the photo, she has a face that looks exactly like you!”At first, I couldn't believe it. All the clarity and detail in this painting was almost to the level of blurring, due to the burning on the right side of the painting which scorched almost most of the body

“Alexa Vermilion,” Liliana told me that name. She knew it when we first met, most likely. I couldn't possibly remember her name, given how brief our meeting was.One thing I could never forget was how much Alexa hated me. All it took was one look, for me it was enough to explain how angry she was about my presence.“Looking for Alpha Charles?” That sharp voice, was directed directly at me. “I'm sorry, he doesn't have time for you. I think the Elders forgot to say this, but you are nothing more than a vessel for the power of the great Alpha Charles. Your place is still not here, fake Luna.”Her insult felt so personal. I'd forgotten about the bag in her carry-on, but why was she calling me a fake Luna? There was no point in provoking me with a cheap line.I knew I was the last Luna after my mother died at the hands of the Vermilion pack.“Thank you for the information,” I replied. As much as possible, I kept my head down to keep the problem from spreading further. Arguing with Alexa wo

'Rosie! No! Cover your nose! You can't see him!' Liliana said something that I caught her meaning too late. As strange as her utterance was, what was going on? It's not like my wolf can scream about something that's still uncertain.My ears couldn't escape the chilling sound of footsteps. My head caught an imaginary image of a mighty Alpha finding me right now.'Like a prey on its knees in front of its predator.' That's what came to my mind, about the influence of the Alpha's assertive pheromone scent whose presence was cutting the distance.It was like the moon had fallen in front of us, just to carve out the arrival of an Alpha in his royal golden robes. His skin was so radiant in the shadow of the light, that the smoothness of the surface of that face defeated any clear glass.Red irises colored eyes as sharp as a hawk's, predators nestled in a firm jaw that framed the most exotic face I'd ever captured. I never knew someone's hair could be that golden in color.Threads of gold spr

The Rejected Contract Luna 127 - The Hand of Replacement Luna
Rosie's POVPrince Charles is just using me? Just because my face is similar to that Luna, he mated with me? Just because he wants to make me his replacement Luna? Luna Delancy, she has a very similar face to me. No wonder when I first met her back then, I felt like I saw myself in her.'Could it be that long ago, Prince Charles had it all planned out? There's no way he brought me to this castle without planning it from the start. If so, is the reason he agreed to my revenge agreement because my face resembles Luna Delancy?' My head was spinning thinking about this.I know what I'm witnessing now is just a dream. I realize this isn't real. But a Luna never really just sees a dream without any meaning in it. The dream I see now, too, is part of my successor's past. In other words, the Moon Goddess wanted to show me something.The screeching sound of the horse-drawn carriage tires fighting against the steepness of the broken road woke me up from the darkness of the nightmare abyss.

The Rejected Contract Luna 126 - The Replacement Mate
Rosie’s POVLike being pulled into a different dimension, for several moments, my body remained rooted to the spot where I stood with my eyes fixed on Luna standing with Prince Charles in front of me.It was like I was watching a show in which there was a story about a Luna who looked exactly like me, let alone a face that was so similar and almost gapless, it was exactly like mine!In fact, I was so similar to her that I felt as if I was watching my own story from a different world. Because if she really was Prince Charles' fiancée five years ago, that means that Luna no longer exists in my world today.There, I saw Prince Charles who was spending time with Luna in a park in the afternoon. They were both watching the spring flowers fall, occasionally the flowers would fall and hit them. It was like being in a play and they were the main actors, of course there would be a trumpet filled with small colorful paper that would fly up and fall on them when the play finished satisfactorily.
The Rejected Contract Luna 125 - Ballad Kicked Out
Rosie’s POVThe sound of the horse-drawn carriage running on this uneven road made me feel even more disturbed, its loud sound piercing into my eardrums and making me feel even more annoyed. It was as if something was telling me to get off this horse-drawn carriage immediately, even though I knew for sure that wouldn't be possible.“Stop this carriage, put me down!” Ever since I was forcibly taken by them on this horse, I've always tried to rebel and put up a small fight so that they would stop the horse-drawn carriage that I was currently riding.I didn't want to leave, so I tried my best to make the carriage stop running. At least until I get the chance to get off and escape from here, or until I have the chance to go back and refuse to get on this carriage.But my words were just taken for granted, everyone was still busy with their respective tasks. They were actually doing what Prince Charles ordered to take me away from his palace, no matter if they had to coerce me like this.“
The Rejected Contract Luna 124 - Alpha William's Unwanted Baby
Alexa’s POV'Prince Wiliam, I can hardly believe it was you who did all this to me. If it hadn't been for me experiencing it myself, I might not have believed that you would be so heartless to an omega that you didn't want,' I thought while staring sadly at the Alpha who walked away from my original position, a prince who apparently didn't have the attitude of a knight.Someone who didn't show the slightest compassion even though he knew what I was going to do had a lot of risks, but he stuck with his decision.I know I'm the one who made it all happen in the first place, but doesn't he have a better solution than forcing me to face a fear I've never imagined before?Doesn't he have a better solution without having to humiliate me like this?Really, even crying won't heal the shame inside me. If I could, I would probably prefer to drown or disappear right now, but unfortunately I can't do that at all.These eyes then fell on Prince William who stepped away to leave me in the medical r
The Rejected Contract Luna 123 - A Baby from His Affair
Alexa’s POVThe sound of Prince William's punch rang out loudly in the medical room, obviously because he hit me so hard that I fell to the ground in a terrible heap.‘Oh my god, that hurts! I didn't expect Prince William to be able to do this to me, I thought he would never dare to do violence to me because I was a woman here. I didn't expect that he could do that too,'’ I thought.I thought Prince William would feel pity and compassion for me who had gone through so much grief, grief that wasn't just ordinary grief, but I really felt sad and was afraid that I would have problems with the surgery.I was really afraid that if I were to die during the surgery, what would happen to me next? I was afraid of all the bad things that could happen to me now or in the future, but why did Prince William not want to understand my fears at all?Is my life so insignificant to him that he can even ignore these heart-wrenching cries?Not only that, but Prince William was also really so heartless t
The Rejected Contract Luna 122 - It's Your Baby, Alpha
William’s POVThe roar of my breath was getting worse as my ears continued to hear what Alexa said, it felt like all my struggles to hold back the turmoil of anger that had infiltrated my heart and head felt increasingly doused with oil to make me even more furious, if only it could be described, this anger must have made my head smoke because it was too long to hold it.I had been trying so hard to hold back my anger so as not to hurt Alexa who was testing my patience so much, but I couldn't hold back any longer. Even my hands were itching not to hurt her, Alexa was really testing my patience and kept provoking my emotions until I couldn't hold it in anymore.Slap!rgh!'' Alexa winced in pain as I unhesitatingly slapped her on the left cheek, furious that the omega kept begging me to save the baby inside her, annoyed that Alexa kept begging me to let the baby grow and be born into the world.Does she want to cause trouble for me and create trouble for herself?That omega really could
The Rejected Contract Luna 121 - Her Abortion
William’s POVDozens of times I had asked Alexa what made her choose to keep the pregnancy and hide it from me, ignoring my orders to terminate the pregnancy.But unfortunately Alexa was not at all willing to open her mouth and answer the questions I gave her, she remained silent and closed her mouth tightly.Obviously this made me even angrier at her and made the embers of anger inside me burn even more fiercely, it was only a matter of time before it could come out and burn Alexa without residue.''Alexa, I'm still waiting for an answer from that mouth of yours. You better say it now before I do something to you, you do know that I never play around with what I say, right?'' It was useless, no matter how many times I asked.Alexa would still close her mouth and not be willing to open it to say a word from her mouth. That obviously made me even more angry with what Alexa was doing, her silent action made me even more fed up with the drama she was creating.Alexa acted like I had no r
The Rejected Contract Luna 120 - He Made Me Kill The Baby
William’s POV''I really can't wrap my mind around that! How could you choose to keep that baby, when you already know that its presence is very dangerous for our future lives. I really can't digest that. Your decision really can't reach my mind right now, you're so naïve and so stubborn!''''It wasn't just once or twice that I told you to terminate the pregnancy, but why did you insist on keeping it?! Did you not use your brain to think clearly before making that decision!?''''How did you think that through! How could you choose to keep the pregnancy and let the baby continue to grow there until it got that big,'' I scolded Alexa in front of me, not caring about her who was already looking sad and was starting to get confused about what to say in response to my words.''All this time, I've known many other omegas who were far beneath you! But I've never found an omega dumber than you in the entire pack, you don't even have a fraction of the intelligence of those omegas who are far s
The Rejected Contract Luna 119 - Messed Up Everything
William’s POVSeeing how I stared at her and looked at her belly which was different from her normal size, alexa also seemed to be silent and mute. No longer daring to speak or move rebelliously like just a moment ago, she was completely silent with a very clear look of fear in her eyes.It's possible that she realized that she was caught red-handed by me and might not have a chance to escape or make excuses and deflect in front of me, I'm certainly not someone who is very easy to trick.Was it perhaps because of all that that he preferred to keep quiet and shut his mouth tightly?That Omega even just stood still without looking at me at all, he looked like someone who was frightened by the thought of something that he thought he could hide from me all this time but in the end had to be exposed so easily.''Alexa, tell me something. Don't you want to explain anything to me?'' I said, trying to provoke Alexa into talking, even though it all seemed useless. Alexa remained silent without
