The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 60
JACE Jace adjusted in his seat. This was the real deal. "I need you to help me move into Darkspire."If Kael hadn't swallowed the drink he had in his mouth already, he'd have spilled it all over the table. He wouldn't have been as shocked if Jace had told him he wanted to take down a certain Alpha. But moving in to Darkspire? To a different Pack? It was beyond ridiculous.For Jace, it was very important. He was worried about Lyric and someone discovering her secret. He took the night they were supposed to elope as an instance. She had been caught and locked up by Jaris, yet he had no idea. If something bad were to happen to her while he was far away, he wouldn't have any idea until it was too late.He needed to be close to her."Please, tell me you're drunk," Kael scoffed. "That's the only reasonable explanation for this madness.""I wouldn't invite you here to drink from my glass if I wasn't serious. I'm damn serious about this, Kael.""Well, you sound crazy. I'm not letting y

LYRIC For someone as hard as Zarek, it was easy to see when he was tensed and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, he did a good job masking it as quickly as it came. But it wasn't quick enough to fool me. "What're you insinuating, Lyric?" He chuckled. "Alpha Zarek," I placed my hands on the desk and interlocked my fingers. "If you really want to return the favour for healing your father, you should tell me the truth. What were you doing there that night?"His face grew tender, hinting at a buried truth. He was hiding something. It was so clear now. "I wasn't doing anything," he shrugged, his face turning to rock once more. "I actually came with my mate and wanted to see if there was a vacancy in there. You know, that is my favorite spot. But you were already there, asleep. So, all I did was leave."Disappointment stabbed me in the heart. I held his gaze for some time before I lowered them to my desk, separating my fingers. "Is that so?""Yes." His voice was thick. "You could a

I headed home feeling very happy. Feeling accomplished.I headed to my room and paused when I found someone standing outside my door. The passage was dimly lit. So, I had to go closer to get a proper view of his face."Jace?" I stopped in my tracks, squinting my eyes.He pushed off from the wall where he leaned, giving me that annoying smirk of his. "Yes, my hopeless child! It is I!"I laughed as I ran into his arms. But our hug was brief. I needed answers."It's—It's late. What're you doing here?" And more importantly, how does he plan on getting home?"Yes, it's late. So, mind telling me why you're just coming home?""Oh, shut up, dad." I rolled my eyes. "I have a job now. Back to my question. What're you doing here?""Well," he shrugged. "You staring at your newest neighbor. Open the door, L

JARIS I had an early day at the office. But before leaving, I decided to check on the kids. I'd returned very late last night and couldn't see them. Reaching their door, I heard her voice. I slowed my steps, her voice bringing me the usual discomfort. Seeing and hearing her was the constant reminder of what she does to my body. It was something I hated and wished I could get rid of.I opened the doors and as soon as my presence was seen, she stopped talking. She had been sitting on the edge of the bed, applying something on Xylon's chest and massaging. She's always been quite good with the kids. Which was why it puzzled me that she had plans of leaving.'I know you might not believe it, but Xylon is the reason you caught me in the first place. And I intend to stay and finish my job on him. I chuckled. I can't abandon a soul like that. Never.'Her words from two days stuck with me. Could there be any truth to that?"Daddy!" Xyla ran to me, hugging me. Xylon looked like he'd

LYRIC Work was extremely boring today. All I did was check patients' vitals. Guinevere thought I still wasn't strong enough and didn't give me any complex work to handle. I was exhausted at the end of my shift. All I wanted was a good shower and a long sleep. But when I reached home, Kael approached me just before I'd open my door. "Alpha Jaris wants you to accompany him to a meeting. It's in an hour." He told me after welcoming me. What!?"I—I don't think that'll be possible. I just go back and I'm—""I tried to tell him you'd be exhausted, but he insisted."No. No way. I stormed off, heading to his office. But he wasn't there. I went to his room instead, my mind storming like a cyclone.He ushered me in when I knocked on his door. I didn't like the idea of being alone with him in his bedroom, but I didn't have a choice. He was rocking something on his table when i walked in. "Good evening, Alpha." I was doing all I could to sound normal to keep the anger at bay just ye

LYRIC "Lyric!" Jaris shouted my name, but I didn't spare him a glance. Penelope was already across the road. It was her—short brown hair, body like a model even though she was an advanced woman. Back when I was with her, I always let her know she was very beautiful.It was a struggle crossing over to the other side of the road. I jostled against the crowd and managed to get over, but Penelope was already getting into a car. No. "Penelope!" I screamed. But I didn't think she heard me. She wouldn't even look at me. I tried to make my way toward her, but the crowd kept acting as a painful barrier, slowing me down.My heart crashed over as I watched her car start moving. She was getting away. I was going to lose her!The realization made me want to cry. I continued struggling with the crowd but was forced to stop when a strong hand wrapped around my elbow, pulling me back. "Lyric!" Jaris called with sternly. He looked pissed. "What the hell are you doing?"I shook my g

JARIS My mother came in not long after I got into my bedroom. I was almost tempted to order her to leave. This woman hardly came with good news.She asked customary questions like how my day went before dropping the unnerving reason she was there. "Your sister ran away."I was taking off my jacket and paused when her words reached me. "But they managed to find her," she adds, calming me the hell down. For Moon sake, she couldn't have said that sooner?"Good," I mumbled, undoing my buttons next. "But she wants to come home, and the asylum's thinking of releasing her. Like this couldn't get any worse. "Mother, please." I whirled around to face her. "I honestly can't deal with Maddy right now."Remove a 'd' and the 'y' form her name and you'll have mad. And it wasn't even an insult. She really was mad. "I know, Jaris. But—""The last thing I need right now is Maddy on my neck. You know how it is with both of us."She never shuts up about our brother. I can't deal with her.

JARISShe gasped, a light exhale escaping her.The strong smell and taste of alcohol coated my tongue—Château Margaux, specifically. But other than that, she tasted mighty fine.'It's just a taste.'My hand gripped the back of her head, pulling her up to meet my kiss.For someone who was drunk, she took it quite well. And fuck, it was beyond good.It felt like a brainquake, shaking up my thoughts in the most exhilarating way'It's just a taste.'My hand flexed around her throat. If she wasn't so drunk, I'd have choked her. But that wouldn't be too good now, would it?I moved the hand downward until I reached the hem of her dress.'It's just a taste.'Yet, I couldn't stop my fingers when they moved beneath her dr

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
