The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 74
LYRICThe party was beyond magnificent. It was heart-warming to see how much Jaris was loved by his people. There was a lot to eat, drink and talk about. The people of Darkspire were quite united. I could tell from how they gathered in groups and made jokes like one big family. A family I'd never had. "Hello, Luna." Someone nudged me from behind.I rolled my eyes as Jace stood beside me. "Hi, dad." I lifted my glass to my lips to take a sip, but he snatched the flute from me, drinking instead. "I like how you pay me some respect. It shows I trained you well.""You're an asshole, Jace." I slapped him on the shoulder. "You just coming?""Yeah. Had to stay back with my dad to discuss certain things."Kael walked up to us, holding a flute that was almost empty. "Congratulations, Lyric." His tone was clipped. The man was effortlessly grumpy even when he was attempting to be nice. "For what?" I chuckled. "Alpha Jaris was the one who displayed his smartness, not me.""Well, i

LYRIC Time went still for a long while. My head spun from the revelation. I shook my head, looking in the direction Marta had just taken."I—I think you're mistaken, Jace. Maybe you're mistaking the month or—""I can forget anything, but not Karen or what we shared in that brief moment. We met on the thirteen of June. Does that sound too precise for you?"He took a deep breath, running his fingers through his hair. "While I was overseas, I met her in Oryndor. We happened to be in the same hotel. I was in the lounge area, drinking when she came up to me. She started the conversation, and well, I was bored and played along. Next thing, we both end up in my room."I gasped, lifting a hand to my mouth. "Y—You had sex!?""Well, we wouldn't be reading in my room, Lyric. So, yes."Goodness! "She told me she'd simply been horny and wanted it to be a one-time stuff. But the next day, we had more sex. Look, what happened between us isn't the point here. The point is, Marta was never

LYRIC I laid in the bathtub, one leg splayed over the top with my head leaning backward. It had been a long day. A crazy one. All I wanted to do was get some sleep. Staring into nothing, I thought of Jace's discovery. I still had a hard time believing what he said. Of course, Jace was my best friend, and he'd never lie with something this serious. I just couldn't believe Marta could be that heartless and fearless. How could she risk lying to the entire Darkspire? Like she was so certain the truth wouldn't reveal itself one day. I tsked, thinking of the poor kids. Who were their real parents? And how would they feel getting to know that the parents they've come to love weren't theirs? What would Jaris do when he learns the truth?So many questions, it frightened me. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. I decided to think of something better. And of course, the only 'better' memory I could come up with was the one of him.Before I could stop myself, my fingers were alread

JACEJace waited on the passage leading to Marta's room.He had been there for fifteen minutes, leaning against the wall and his hands crossed over his chest.He had somewhere important to be that morning, but it could wait. Seeing Marta was more important.Finally, she appeared from her room, making a phone call."No. He's not to be given more than two mm." She spoke into the phone. But that was before she saw Jace.She came to an abrupt halt, her eyes glistening with shock. Jace pushed away from the wall but kept his hands across his chest. He looked horribly intimidating this way.Marta swallowed hard. Time seemed to stretch."I'll call you back," her voice was softer this time as she spoke into the phone before ending the call."Hi, Marta," Jace tipped his head toward her. "How have you been?"He could clearly see her throat bob."Tell me," he went closer. "Did you choose Karen just because it was pretty? Or you really didn't want me to know who you were?"Finally, she rega

LYRIC My eyes grew large, shining as brightly as the sun.My world came spinning, crashing down and building up again just to crash even more painfully. All this happened in seconds. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words formed. I couldn't get my head straight. "Siphon," he repeated, crystal clear this time. "I—" I tried to swallow, but the ball of nerves was too much in my throat. I couldn't gulp.I inhaled deeply and tried again. "I'll get someone to check on you."It wasn't until I tried to run that I realized he was still holding my hand. Now that he was awake, the man was strong. I panicked, my eyes darting to the door and back. "Let me go." It was a plea. "Please."He finally did, his eyes growing soft. He breathed deeply, closing his eyes. "Siphon," he repeated, even as it seemed like he was going back to sleep. I didn't wait around to hear more. I sprinted out of the room, my heart pounding against my ribs. I didn't stop until I was in the nearest restroom

LYRIC I was glad when my shift came to an end. My day had been ruined from the moment I healed that man that all I wanted to do was get home and have some sleep.I passed by the room of the man I'd healed, just to peep through the window. I couldn't help but wonder if he'd ratted me out already. How was he even able to tell what I was?I slackened my steps when I neared the door and found Guinevere outside the room without another doctor. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but it bothered me. What if the man had told them and they were thinking of the best way to capture me?Oh, stop it, Lyric. Stop being so negative. If only it was that easy. The second doctor left before I got to the spot to meet Guinevere. I looked out for the woman's expression. This would determine if she knows something or not."Lyric. How was your day?" She sounded normal. I took a deep breath. "I'm fine, Doctor Guinevere."I faced the window. The man was asleep. "Is he uh...better? I hear

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

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.****†****††

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
