“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
“You'll regret doing this.”He did. Not a single pair of eyes in the study hall which was supposed to be a sacred area, believed there would be a clash in the royal palace.The floor I was standing on was experiencing peak tremors. The servants ran around in panic. Not for the sky above us that began to drop its cracked fragments, but for Alexa who began to transform.I had no idea what the Omega was planning behind her reckless power. What was clear was that this situation was serious. In a second I couldn't have predicted, Alexa pulled out her fangs and attacked me. Crash!Her blow connected sharply with Alpha Charles' childhood statue, which shattered in a single blow.“Is this your power?” She tried to provoke me with her echoing growl. “How weak. Alpha Charles has chosen you wrong! It should have been you who died ten years ago, and not Lady Delancy!”Crash! Attack after attack was hurled. Underneath the provocation, Alexa had caught my attention. There was something she said tha
I guess this is called licking your nightmares. My dark memories, I never imagined that I would use it as a tool in my mouth.As for my background, I'm pretty sure Alpha Charles has already finished it all. It was impossible for him not to know how much I was tortured by my sister before she died.See the similarities between us, Charles? I do. You and I are both pathetic second children. The difference is that I don't have your arrogant nature.“You... Met William?”My earlobes twitched on their own along with the stiffening of the answer I heard. Would better understand Alpha Charles' perspective regarding his anger at my unforgivable words.Of all the anger there is, he prefers to discuss that. Was my insult not worth more than his curiosity?“When? And where?” He asked again. The seriousness that was so misty in her eyes that barked like the ripples of the moon.One by one, the distance between us was trimmed through footsteps that treaded not with patience. I too fell silent. Not
“Anywhere is fine! Just not his room!” I started yelling. The other slaves thought I might be mentally ill, but they were wrong!The first thing Alpha Charles did to me when I dared to enter his room was punishment after punishment. Even now, the professors of the palace still force me to master this and that at his command.And that was just an accident! My hands instantly rebelled from the grip on the slave to find a way to escape. The second punishment? I would not let it go unpunished.“Luna Rosie is escaping! Ring the bell now!”Dang! Dang! The palace turned red in the blink of an eye. On the rooftop of the palace, a large bell rang loudly, frightening everyone in sight. The clomping of dozens of pairs of feet could be heard behind me, chasing after me. My escape was perceived by them as a thief who had taken away a groom on her first night.'Oi!' I sighed inwardly. The giant bell that rang loudly was the alarm to close all paths and exits of the palace. My feet constantly paused
What I'm witnessing now is nothing more than a pseudo-bias, a ghostly creation. Perhaps this is one of my mother's remaining powers? Lady Delancy's scent was too strong to say she wasn't real. Except for her feet floating on the floor, all parts of her body were impenetrable to light.I followed where she ran. Entering the palace wasn't enough, those who were serving their jobs were giving me a dirty look at my strange steps.I looked behind me, those who were shining their eyes at me couldn't seem to see Lady Delandy's figure. In other words, I was the only one who was aware of her existence.“Lady, please tell me who killed you!” I screeched. I thought there was no better opportunity than this before she disappeared. But the fog of her existence was dense and she didn't say anything.Until we reached the highest point of the castle's many floors. I realized a second later, how did I get here? A cold part of the palace, without the touch of the dozens of servants.I tried summoning t
'Run. I have to run.' The first thought that came to my head was just to get rid of my existence that was already entangled in his sight.Elder Arthur, did he see me? Don't let him. Don't let any servants or slaves leak my meeting with Prince William. I've had enough of being accused of something that isn't my fault!“Allow me to take my leave.” I lowered my face as low as I could. Although I couldn't run away as fast as light, I should at least avoid eye contact.Those eyes, whose crimson barked in the darkness, were more dangerous than any weapon. Never had an Alpha been able to deal with me by exploiting Luna's weakness, using it as a spell to dominate her.Alpha William, was the first person I had to avoid if I wanted to carry this basket of vengeance.“A prince has come all this way for a commoner like you, is this how you pay your respects?” Biwako blocked my path with his steps. Just before I could leave, he had already stopped me.“Show your respect,” he said, behind eyes full
''Stop saying nonsense!''''I'm not saying nonsense Alpha Charles, you can't see so easily accuse me of what not my fault!”Alpha Charles's face looked so bright red, I could tell he was holding back the anger that was raging inside him because of my words.“How dare you say such an insolent sentence to Alpha Charles!''''Alpha, look at that Luna. She does deserve your punishment! She attacked me first and made a scene in this sacred territory, defiled it to such an extent, and now refuses to admit her crime!''My eyes turned to look at Alexa who had just finished speaking, of course, saying that to corner me and further provoke Alpha Charles into punishing me.''What did you say that?” I turned back at her. “Prince Charles, please believe me this time! I didn't do anything wrong here, it was you who had started attacking me first!''My eyes were fixed on Alpha Charles, hoping that this time he would believe me or at least say something to defend me.But it turned out that I was the o
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. My e
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.
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.“
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
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
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
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
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
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
