The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 08
"It must be mere luck," she cleared her throat. "I'm sure she didn't have to do much."I was tempted to laugh. Mere luck? Did she have any idea the effort I had to put in?She stepped away from the door. "Leave. Now."For a spitting second, I wondered why Jaris wasn't making her his Luna. She looked beautiful and already had kids for him."I'm sorry I invaded your kids' privacy. The little boy just needed help, and I thought it'd be wrong to ignore him." Dipping my head, I left the room. JARISI knew what would happen the moment I walked out on them. My mother was never one to let things go, especially not this. Although, for the first time, I wish she'd get off my back.My beta—Kael—and head of security—Ner

JARISSomeone else treated Xylon? How did that happen without my knowledge?And was it really effective like Xyla claimed?Xylon had been suffering from this for years. No one has been able to help. "Who was it?" I asked, more interested than ever. "Oh, silly Xyla," Marta suddenly cut in, chucking. "Did you really have to call me someone else? You want it to be a surprise?"Holding a cup of what she had been mixing, she approached Xylon with it, urging him to drink. "Xyla just wants it to be a surprise, Jaris. I actually came up with a new formula, and thankfully, it worked. Right, Xyla?" She offered a smile and touched Xyla's hair with tenderness. "Why don't you go get some water for your brother, honey?" Xyla stood up and left without saying a word. She looked uncomfortable. "So, it was you?" I asked Marta. "Of course. Who else would come into the kids' room?"It made sense. No one would enter to treat Xylon without my permission. Besides, Marta was the head d

LYRIC I woke up feeling better than I'd slept the previous night. I made a mental calculation of the things I needed to do. Since father's union with Darkspire didn't work out, it was safe for me to return to Draconis, right?Draconis was a human country. Over there, I had a job, good human friends, and kind neighbours. It was nothing like the chaotic and violent world of the wolves, and I'd very much love to return to it. I concluded on telling father about it before the end of today. I'll also end my final mate bond with Roderick, then I'll be free. My life would go back to being perfect.My heart was light with joy as I freshened up and decided to drive out for breakfast. Of course, there were tons of food in the house, but I felt like cruising around the Pack—one last time, at least. My father's pack was quite beautiful.But just as my car turned onto the street, a ridiculously bright red car swerved right into my lane, nearly slamming into me. I had to stomp

LYRIC The men stared at me, like I'd just told them the moon was made of cheese. "What did you say?" The second man spoke for the first time. He was the grumpiest between the two. "I'm sorry," I dropped my eyes. "But I really don't want to see him.""Are you telling us to deliver a message to Alpha Jaris? You expect us to tell him you refused to honor his request?" The second man, asked, stepping closer. Okay, I'll admit it. He was handsome—if "handsome" meant looking like you wrestled mountains for fun—but he was intimidating as hell."Hey, I'm sure she was clear enough," Jace spoke up before I could. "Why don't you tell your Alpha to send chocolates or flowers next time? Girls love those stuff."But the men didn't look like they were there for jokes. "You're coming with us. This instant," the second man said in a tone that brooked no room for further argument. But I wasn't changing my mind. To my shock, he grabbed my hand, though, to be fair, his touch was surprisingly gentle

LYRIC Jace and I went our separate ways when we finished from the restaurant. When I got home, I was met with an unpleasant surprise. Well, not really a surprise since I knew he'd be coming. There in the living room was Roderick. Ex-mate. He had been busy with his phone, but the moment he saw me, he couldn't look away. "Finally, you did come." Nora rolled her eyes, rising to her feet. Roderick was still staring at me, seeming surprised. "I know you," he suddenly muttered. "From the airport."I watched Nora's body language grow uncomfortable. "Um... Roderick," she sat next to him, taking his hand. "This is Lyric. She's here now. So, let's go get this over with."I did not miss how tensed she looked.Roderick's countenance clouded with confusion. He looked at Nora like she was insane, then at me. Wearing a smile, I ultimately said. "Hello, Roderick. It's a good thing we finally met, because I've been as eager as you to get this over with. Let's go."I turned

LYRICRage filled my bones. I never knew he had such an ugly side. He was about shooting at another window when I got in the way. "Fine! You've made your point. Everything doesn't have to be about violence." I glared daggers at him. He looked at the broken glasses, then at me, his eyes devoid of emotion. "Believe me, there is nothing violent about this. You'll know violence when you see one."My heart constricted with fury, so much that I wished I could pour it all out on him. But who was I kidding?"Do we have an understanding, then?" He asked, casually putting his hands behind his back. "We do. Now, put the gun away."More to my dismay, he pointed at another window.What?? What was wrong with him?"I know daughters like you are usually ill-bred, but you must learn to speak to me with respect, considering the fact that you'll be associated with me for some time."I scoffed, feeling insulted. I opened my mouth to retort but instantly paused when he cocked the gun.

My mind whirled from his words. For some time, I was totally out of words."Sorry, what did you just say?" My face crumpled in bemusement."You heard me. I'm sorry for everything that happened. But I'm ready to be a better man. You know me, I'm powerful now. can take good care of you. Everything will be better than it was."It was more alarming how he spoke with so much confidence, like I was just supposed to run into his arms at his sweet words. Like I didn't know how devilish his heart was.I walked back to him. "If you think I, Lyric Harper will ever get back to you, then you're more delusional than I gave you credit for. I am done with you and never coming back. Now, let's go to the temple and end this!"By the grace of the night, I never thought I'd be the one pestering Roderick to go to the temple. The asshole had been on my neck for months, asking me to come back and finis

The door suddenly opened, bringing her to a stop.It was Jaris and his two assistants. I noticed the lady take some steps back, especially when Jaris' eyes lingered on her."Is there a problem?" He slid his gaze between both of us. I was tempted to tell him to ask his partner or whoever she was to him, but I let it slide."We were just having a conversation," she said, her gaze icy on me. "But we're done here."She turned and left. I took a deep breath. Now, that is one problem out the door. However, the room seemed to heat up in an instant when Jaris' eyes locked on mine."With me." He titled his head and took the stairs. .....I followed him to what looked like an office. Although, it was quite large—bigger than an average bedroom—and well furnished. We were the only ones in—no assistants, nobody. And for some reason, that made me uncomfortable."A drink?" He asked as he poured some from the side table. "N—No. I'm fine."He filled one glass for himself before taking a seat and

LYRICThe room fell into heavy silence. Heads turned to Marta.Luna Isolde sprang to her feet. "What!? What nonsense is this!?"Jace continued with his narration. "Five years ago, on the thirteen of June, we met in Oryndor. I didn't know who she was, neither did she. But when I got to the Pack, I noticed she had been avoiding me. It wasn't until I met her that I realized why." He looked at Marta. "When we met in Oryndor, she should have been eight months pregnant. But she was not. Her stomach was as flat as that of a model's."My pulse quickened, like I was the one who just got exposed."No." Marta shook her head, going closer to him. "You are a bloody liar from the pit of hell. I have never met you before now. I'd never have anything to do with you!""Are you sure?" Jace tilted his head, his expression taunting.

LYRIC After an hour, the surgery was successful. As soon as the bullets were out and my hands continued touching him, I felt him getting better. The other doctors didn't know what was happening. Didn't know I was making everything faster with my powers. "He'll be awake soon. He just needs some rest now," I told the other doctors before leaving the ward. I rushed to the restroom to wash my hands. I was still shaking, and before I knew it, I was in tears. I almost lost Jace. If I hadn't been here to save him, it'd have been a whole different story. Who would dare do this to him? Jace never stepped on people's toes. Why would anyone want him dead?I spent a long time in the restroom until I was calm enough to leave. Jace had been moved from the surgical ward to a normal room. He was still asleep, Kael beside him. "Are you sure he'll be fine?" Kael asked in a raspy voice the moment I made my way in. "Yeah. You don't have to worry." I paused, actually taking the moment i

JACE What were the chances of bumping into someone you didn't wish to see? For Jace, it was ninety.He was at his father's complex, reviewing sales when a particular client walked in with a young, fine woman. A client he hadn't spoken to in days. Kael. After the awkward incident at Jaris' party, Jace had been doing all he could to avoid meeting with Kael. It was stressful that everyday at Darkspire, he had to pray not to run into him. He was sitting at the sales desk, the big book open in front of him. But his mind totally left the book and was occupied with Kael making his way into the shop with the beautiful lady's hand around his. They both tensed when they locked eyes on each other.The sales girls approached them immediately, offering them a warm welcome. But the woman beside Kael did the talking as he was busy staring at Jace. It took all of Jace's willpower to end the awkward stare and rise to his feet. "Kael. I'd love to say we're glad to have you here but, t

LYRIC Sunlight streamed through the window, resting on my face.I stirred awake from the discomfort, turning away from the sunlight and yawning.My head was a little light. It took a moment longer for the memory to flood in.Only this time...there was no memory.I slept peacefully through the night.He didn't come. Nobody made love to me.Looking at the side of the bed, I found the pill there.I brushed my fingers into my hair, completely down.The dream didn't happen because I didn't take the pill. Did this mean all the memories truly did happen in my dream? None of it was physical?****††I was so disoriented that even Jace noticed while I was having lunch with him. "Do you need a bigger spoon to turn your meal with? I could get one from the kitchen, you know?" He taunted. I rolled my eyes, snapping out of my thoughts. "I'm serious, Ly. For the past one minute, that's all you've been doing on this table. Now, are you gonna tell me what the hell is wrong with you?"I fina

LYRICMoments later, I left the man's room feeling more troubled. Guinevere was waiting just around the corner and watched me with beady eyes."Did you cry?" She looked confused.I sniffled, shaking my head. "The man and I...we just had a light talk.""So, what did he say? Did you treat him? I'm confused because Marta insisted it was her."This was so difficult. But I needed to start clearing my tracks if I wanted to live."It was Marta. Yesterday, while going on my rounds, I briefly checked on Mr. Pete. I didn't know he was already regaining consciousness. That must've been when Marta already... you know? Worked on him. I was the first doctor he saw. So, he just concluded it must be me." It was getting easier to lie by the day.Definitely not a good thing."Oh. I see." Guinevere nodded. "Did he say anything else, though?"I swallowed hard. "Yes. Just about how lonely it was when he was in coma. He's fine now."We started walking, heading to our offices."Are you fine, Lyric

LYRICAmong the clothes I picked, corporate wears were among. And as I got ready to go to TCH, I wore one of them.It was a grey knee-length dress, and I didn't think I'd ever been more in love with the color.I went to TCH for my nightshift, my heart feeling lighter and warmer.I wasn't new to this feeling. I was happy, and each time I was, there was always something to ruin my joy. This frightened me more than anything.The warmth was quick to diminish when I ran into Marta on the ground floor. Right. What an awesome way to start my evening. Fortunately, she looked like she was leaving.We walked past each other without saying a word, but that was until I recalled what I had in mind."Congratulations, Marta." I faked a smile as I turned to her.She was on me i

Dread settled in my stomach as I undressed to check myself. There was no smeared cum on me or anything. It didn't 'look' like I'd been touched. But I could 'feel' it. His arms around me. His mouth on mine. His smell.This was too real to be a dream.A few minutes later, I was with the ICT guys, asking them for a footage. Well, I was their Luna, and the moment I told them that someone might have broken into my room, they didn't hesitate to give me what I wanted. I checked the footage, and it came as a punch to the gut when I couldn't find anything. No one had entered my room, not even while I was at work.So, was it all a dream? Was that how the pill worked? It made everything feel real?When I bathed that morning, I didn't try to pleasure myself. I already felt this deep satisfaction in my belly. This unexplainable peace. It bothered me. ****† JARIS I had done a lot of bad things in life. Killed people for committing minor offenses, and hurt those I shouldn't have. Yet, non

LYRICI was shocked by how sudden the effect was. My head swirled, the room going in circles.What the...I lost my balance and would have dropped to the floor if I wasn't standing near the dresser to grip it tight.Oh, gods. What have I done? What did I take!?The sensation was worse than being drunk. It was just as if I'd been drugged by something heavier than my body could take.Dragging my legs and swinging my arms around, I managed to reach the bed. But I didn't get to climb it as I ended up on the floor, my head resting on the edge.I closed my eyes, my heart pounding in my ears.After a few minutes, it felt better.Not just better, but euphoric.I giggled at the insane sensation.My entire body seemed to be at so much peace. It felt like I was stuck between sleep and consciousness.Was I in the dream already? If I was, then where was he? Where was Jaris? Where was the man that hated me, yet made me feel good in my dreams?I knew the moment my door opened.****†****††

MARTA She walked into the patient's room with Guinevere. She had to wait around since the man was demanding for her and was called as soon as he was awake. "Mr. Pete. How're you feeling?" She asked with a warm smile. The man might have been sleeping for a long time, but he still looked dizzy. He shifted his eyes to Guinevere. "I asked for the woman that healed me.""You did. And she's in front of you," Guinevere furrowed her brows. The man gave Marta a long stare before shaking his head. "She's not... She's not."Chills spread through Marta's abdomen. This was the reason she had been reluctant to see him. But Guinevere kept insisting, saying their patient's satisfaction was important. And there wasn't much Marta could do to go against her superior. She put up one of her best smiles as she addressed him again. "Sir, I understand that you've been in coma for a long time. You're probably confused and—""No. I saw her. I know what she looks like. I need to see her."Marta's
