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.

LYRICOkay...why was he sweet with the kids and not with me?Adjusting the strep of my bag over my shoulder, I went after him.The inside was more beautiful than I imagined with a black theme.I didn't want to imagine the amount of money that must have been put into this place.I continued walking behind Jace until we reached an office. Oh. So, he had a home office here as well."What're you doing here?" His voice was icy.I couldn't hold his stare and was forced to lower mine to the floor. He didn't look like the man that had been happy to see his kids a while ago."I asked a question," he clipped.Fuck this, Lyric. Stop showing him your weakness."The kids wanted to see you." My voice came out s

LYRICThings were not fine. The aftermath of the situation was exactly why I'd been scared of revealing the truth.Since the previous day after the samples were taken, Jaris hadn't been home. What bothered me the most was the fact that the twins were very sad and worried.They didn't exactly know what the problem was, but they knew their father was mad about something and hadn't been home because of it."Aunty, do you think daddy will come home today?" Xyla asked, lifting her head from her drawing book to look at me.I stuttered for words."He's not taking our calls. And we were supposed to show him some pictures," she made a pout.Xylon nodded, showing his agreement.My heart clenched painfully. Jaris hadn't been taking their calls? Was that necessary?

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
