The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 13
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

LYRICI went through the contract multiple times. What was required of me was quite simple—represent Darkspire as their Luna for one year, accompany Jaris to important events and functions, be loyal to the Pack, and treat his son.In return, I was guaranteed protection, unlimited access to the properties of the Pack, my father's debt being cleared.Everything seemed normal. And that was the point; I still didn't know what Darkspire was getting out of this.I'd tried to ask Jaris about it, but he told me they were gaining nothing. And well, I couldn't force a different answer out of him.But at the end of the day, I signed the contract. Luna Isolde was pleased and informed me that the coronation ceremony would be held in three days.For a momen

LYRIC My hand tightened around the steering as my throat became as dry as dust. What was he doing here? With her?Coming out of the hospital was Jaris and Marta. They were having a conversation and right there, they looked like a normal couple.I shouldn't feel this way, considering the fact that the woman had kids for him, but it served as a constant reminder that he had someone in his life already. His beta—Kael—came out shortly, holding Xylon and Xyla's hand. It became clear that they must've brought Xylon in for a checkup or something. My heart sank even further. The kids were adorable, but at that moment, I couldn't help not see them all as one happy family. It was also a reminder of Jaris' betrayal five years ago. He made me think I was special when he had a pregnant lover at home. Suddenly, a thought occured to me. What if Marta was occupied with something and couldn't be Jaris' Luna right now? That would explain why they only needed me for a year. With

I forced my composure as I walked past them to my seat at the head of the table.I called each their names, acknowledging them. "I apologize if you had to wait for long. I had no idea you were coming. Please, take your seats."They did so.I noticed there was no water or refreshment on the table.I turned to Nerion who was standing beside me. "Why weren't they offered anything?""We objected," one of the representatives replied. "What we came to do is too bleak to drink."I furrowed my brows. What they came to do?"And what might that be, if you do not mind me asking? Is there a problem?"Another nodded. "A very big one, Alpha Jaris."There was a long pause, and exchanged stares, then they added with a painful expression. "The Alpha King is dead."......

LYRIC "You know, for someone who's about to become the Luna of the Almighty Darkspire, I don't think this is a great idea," Jace said as I downed my sixth shot. "Oh, please!" I rolled my eyes. "Don't act like you're not enjoying this."He laughed, confirming my suspicion. I smiled as I returned to the top stage, taking up the mic, singing and dancing the stupid dance steps I could come up with in my head. They were funny, I knew. All I knew how to do best was sway my hips.Another man came up to hold me around my waist. Nope. I was done with this. "Just dance alone now, will ya? I'm done dancing with others." I winked at him. He looked displeased but left. I sang and laughed happily for a long time. Ooh! The people seemed to really like me. I descended the stage to take more shots. "You sing beautiful," a young fine man said when I took the last step down the stage.I flashed a smile at him. "Thank you, gentleman.""And you're really beautiful." He added. Anot

LYRIC"What the hell!?" Josh flinched, stepping away from me immediately.I had nearly lost my balance again due to his arms suddenly leaving me.My heart had sunk deep into the pit of my stomach as I prayed for the sight before me to be a dream. But it wasn't. Josh's friend was dead. Killed by Jaris.His eyes like dark pools were on me. Then, slowly, they shifted to Josh, and he emitted a certain monstrous snarl. He tossed the heart to the floor and started approaching Josh and I.No. Not me. Josh."I—I haven't done anything!" Josh cried.Realizing what was happening, I ran to stand before Josh."What do you think you're doing!? What do you have against him?" I snapped at the man who looked insane right now.

JARISToday was the most important day in our world. And I wasn't going to miss out on it.I walked into the Silver Citadel and found the Alphas, the chairman and other representatives gathered as expected. Everything was getting set, and they were all very shocked to see me. That, also expected."Alpha Jaris. What're you doing here?" One of the representatives asked. Although, I could see the hope in his eyes."What does it look like, Adan? I am here to participate." I shrugged.Today was the registration for the Alphas seeking to contend for the King's Throne."What are you talking about? I thought you were not interested?" One of the Alphas asked.Their fear was so obvious. They already knew they didn't stand a chance against someone like me.Well, ini

LYRIC"How can you even say that?" I scoffed with disbelief. "I've been treating your son. You've seen how good I am.""I've seen you perform little tricks and don't even know the source of your knowledge.""Little tricks? I've done things you or no one else has been able to do in years. You can't just make a mockery of that."Her eyes turned colder. "I told you no! These are the standards of TCH. It's not like I put them in place. So, why don't you take that and leave?"My hands balled into fists. How could I be rejected so easily?Marta was nothing like the woman that had called me to the garden and spoke 'peace'. Now, she acted as if that night never happened."I was hoping you'd give me a try, at least." I pressed. "It's unreasonable to just dismiss me without seeing my potential. And you of all people know

A heavy lump formed in my throat."I'll just forward the footage to you.""Okay. Thank you. So much."The call ended.I inhaled nervously.While I was hurting, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something might've happened to me that night. Something I did not remember.I eagerly waited for the footage, but the manager appeared to be slow, and until I reached my destination, the footage did not come.I stared at the tall building in front of me.Ugh. Was I making the right decision?Yes.Grabbing my bag and file, I stepped out of the car, into TCH.The place was bright and busy.Large, glass windows lined one wall, allowing natural light to flood the space. Colorful artwork adorned the walls, providing small bursts of warmth amid the clinical atmosphere. The reception desk buzzed with activity as calls were answered and visitors were directed. Sitting in the reception, I put a call through to the woman I was supposed to meet. I told her I was there, and in a few minutes, she join

JARISI was on my sixth bottle.It was infuriating because I hated drinking this much. I was always in control of how much alcohol I took into my system, but tonight, I wanted it all.I stayed in my office for hours, replaying everything in my head. Drinking made me feel slightly better.Nerion came in to remind me that it was too late and I probably should get some sleep. Ugh. The good guy. It was in such situations that I missed Kael. He'd have drunk with me, knowing I needed the sensation.Unfortunately, he was out, executing a task.But Nerion was right. I was tired and could use some sleep.I left the office for my room, and right there, on the bed was Marta.She was wearing a red transparent night dress. I could see the small red bra she had on, and the small red pant. The dress was as good as useless because it was a see-through.Her hair was stretched and packed to one side, a red color tinting her lips. Right there, she looked like a seductress."Fuck, Marta. What did

LYRIC"Why would he do this to me?" I whimpered against father's chest. "I thought we had a deal. I thought he wanted this."The humiliation was crippling. Twice, I tried to end this deal, but he wouldn't let me. Did he only push it this far just to humiliate me? Was I cursed?"Jaris?" I heard Luna Isolde call.Sniffling, I lifted my face off father's chest for a look, and there he was, striding into the hall with a look of cold detachment.My face remained pale as I watched him. He did come. After three excruciating hours? After all the guests had left!"Jaris, where have you been?" Luna Isolde asked in a cutting whisper when he reached her side. But Jaris walked past her without sparing her a glance.He didn't spare me a glance either as he walked down the aisle, stopping in front of the altar.The Priestess must have been informed of his arrival, because she stepped out again, taking her place at the altar.I'd stopped whimpering, but my tears were still flowing. Was this a

LYRIC Jace was at the Pack house when I arrived. I told him about the weird dream, and he only made fun of me. We sought out my jewelry and every other thing I'd be needing for the ceremony tomorrow. Later at night, I went to Jaris' office. I still felt like telling him the truth about five years ago. I was eager to see his reaction and know what he'd say concerning why he left that morning. To my surprise, his office was locked. When I checked his room, it was locked as well. Hm. That was strange. Normally, he'd be back by now. I was headed back to my room and conveniently bumped into Marta. "You left without telling me. I was there, asleep on the table." I told her. She was just as dressed as she'd been at the garden. She shrugged unapologetically. "I had to take care of something. And I didn't want to wake you." Okay. There was the mean Marta I knew. Before I could say anything else, she walked away. .....It was the day we'd all been waiting for. The day that
The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 39
LYRICFor two days, I avoided Jaris like a plaque. And I think he was doing the same.I know we've both been intimate before. But that was five years ago! When I was a very different person, right before he abandoned me.This body is very special now. He couldn't just look at it when he wanted."Congratulations, aunty," Xylon said with a sweet smile as I massaged his sister's scalp on the bed."For what, honey?""The mating ceremony tomorrow. We know you'll become daddy's Luna," Xyla answered.Oh. "Thank you."Actually, I'd been quite nervous about that. Jaris and I would finally be mated tomorrow, only to be broken apart after a year.But I was still more concerned about the fact we were only going to be together for a year. While it'd help my father clear his debts, I still didn't understand what Jaris would be getting out of this.Someone knocked on the door. It was the children's nanny, followed by Jaris who stood before her.Oh, damn it.I got goosebumps instantly, my t

LYRICEvery organ in my body tightened with rage. Clumsily, I managed to lock the towel around my body, but it felt useless.I'd wasted enough time for him to see every inch of my naked body."What the hell!? Don't you knock!?" I said at the top of my voice, my fingers shaking as they weakly held the towel to my chest.I didn't care that he was the Alpha I didn't want to piss anymore. Right now, I was fucking pissed!Jaris just saw me naked without my consent! And it wouldn't have happened if he'd just knocked!Or maybe it was my fault for not locking the door. No, how was I supposed to know that someone like him would want to come in without knocking?Jaris looked stunned. Too stunned. I'd never seen him this way before. Didn't even think I'd was possible.His

LYRICAfter long hours of research, I managed to come up with something I could substitute for Jaris. Although, there was no guarantee it would work, I was hoping it would.It was evening when I finished making the tea and proceeded to his office to give it to him. It was insane that he was always working even when he was in the Pack. It made me wonder if he had any resting time at all.I knocked repeatedly on the door of his office but got no response. Looked like he wasn't in. But I'd already told him I'd be bringing the tea later on. So, maybe I could just go in and leave this for him.I went into the office and carefully placed the tea on the very messy-looking table. I wondered what he was always researching on that made his table always look like a warzone.Well, I do hope that this tea gets to work a little. It'd sa
