The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 44
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

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 "You used me!" I sobbed, crying to my mate who just rejected me. "Mating with me was your ladder to power, Roderick! Your Pack climbed the ranks because of me! Now that you've achieved your ambition, you don't need the ugly girl anymore, is that it? But you were willing to mate with me a year ago!""Oh, spare me!" Roderick rolled his eyes. "Don't act like you didn't know I'd have left you at some point. Hold on, did you really think I'd have made you the Luna of my Pack? I can barely stand the sight of you, Lyric. How do you expect me to take you to Alpha meetings and present you to others? You are disgusting!""But I did not give this scar to myself!" I cried bitterly. "And you promised you'd take me to the best doctors. You didn't do any of that, Roderick! It'd have helped!""What? Even your own family doesn't care enough to take you to doctors, and you think I would? Quit, dreaming, Lyric and get out of my Pack!"Tears blurred my vision. It wasn't the firs

LYRICWe left the bar together, heading to his hotel as he called it. We drove off in his Arcanis GT. It was one of the most expensive cars in the world.Whoever this man was, he was filthy rich. Could he possibly be an Alpha?A part of me had been tempted to ask questions, but none of it mattered. We were simply going to make love and never see each other again.......It was the best night of my life. He made love to me in the sweetest way. Although, it was my first time, I wasn't sure intimacy could be any sweeter. I didn't want us to stop.The stranger had been shocked to know I was a virgin. The entire session, he kept asking if I was fine and needed him to be more gentle. For the first time, someone cared about my feelings.But something unusual happened during the intercourse. Everything had been going so fine until he suddenly jerked while inside me and came with a deep groan. I was shocked, but we were both in the moment and could not ask questions.He

LYRIC "I'm sorry, ma'am; but I'm here to pick someone. I can't give you a free ride, if that's what you're asking." I struggled to hold back my laughter as I listened to Rufus, one of my father's oldest guards say, his eyes darting past my shoulder, looking out for the person he had been assigned to pick from the airport. "I know. You have been sent to pick Lyric Harper, right? It's me, Rufus."His eyes narrowed with suspicion. "You still haven't told me how you know my name. And...And how can you be Lyric? It's not possible." He shook his head. "Lyric is—""Ugly?" I finished for him, a broad smile on my face. He frowned as he shook his head. Back then, Rufus was the only one that had never been able to call me ugly. He was among the very few that had cared about my feelings, and even now, to a stranger, he still couldn't call me ugly. I laughed. "Well, would it help if I reminded you that your favorite soup was butternut squash and you and little Lyric used to

Roderick Fletcher. The one man I'd hoped would love me but never did. The mind was a bitch. I thought I was over Roderick's betrayal and wouldn't feel a thing when I met him. But watching him as he approached me, looking like he was the one in charge made my eyes rim with tears. I sniffled and looked away, forcing the tears back in. "So, I had to come over to speak to you myself," he leaned against the counter beside me. "How daring."My throat was tight, unable to find any words. I feared there would be a crack in my voice if I managed to speak. Three guards hovered beside him, their eyes darting around. Roderick looked sophisticated, like he'd obviously been having a good life. What was he even doing here? Was he picking someone?"What's the name?" He tilted his head as he asked. I said nothing, won't even look at him. "Hello?""I don't feel like disclosing my name to strangers," I finally managed. My voice was tight. His eyes beamed with amusement. And here was a man who n

LYRIC It had to be a joke. Or at the very least, not what I was thinking. Father's eyes turned more serious as he moved toward me. "I thought of offering Nora to him, but she's already with someone else, and the Alpha King might become furious if he thinks we're trying to offer him someone else's woman. This is the reason you're the only choice we have, Lyric. And... you have no idea how perfect it is that you have your face back. Initially, I had been worried we'd have issues with the Alpha King accepting you, but now, I am confident he'll be thrilled.""Hold on," I scoffed, placing a hand on my thigh. "Please don't tell me you made me travel all the way from Draconis just to be told that I am about to be sacrificed to a demon."No wolf was stranger to the name ' Darkspire'. Even me who knew little of Pack matters still knew how dangerous they were and nobody wanted to have anything to do with them; not in this life, not in another. "Alpha Jaris is not a demon,

"Jaris, you're here." Isolde said with relief. "Please, meet Alpha Bennett of Ravencrest. This is his daughter we talked about."I'd stopped breathing since he walked in. In that moment, nothing else, other than the pain in my chest seemed to exist. Memories I'd been fighting so hard to stay buried reared their ugly heads at me. And the name 'Princess' echoed in my head, hauntingly, I wanted to scream. He had been Jaris? Alpha of Darkspire? I couldn't believe this. Unlike that night, when he looked at me with those charming eyes and called me beautiful, his eyes were very cold now; devoid of emotion. He didn't look like the man I'd wanted to spend an extra day with. He looked ruthless, like a man I wanted to run as far away as possible from. Now it made sense. That night, he'd only been sweet 'cause he wanted to deceive me. Oh, how foolish I had been. And how he must have laughed at me when I laid my head on his chest. He must have been disgusted too. I contemplated running. I di

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

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
