Lustre’s POVThe sound of Miimii’s light snores filled our chambers as I flipped through the pages of a wrinkled old copy of a compilation of children werewolf folklores. My eyes skimmed over the pages and occasionally some lines had brought a childish grin to my face as I enjoyed the countless tales of the different people’s views on the how the very first werewolves had lived.For about half an hour, I’d reading instead of getting some rest before I was called on for dinner duty. However, the moment I’d yawned and decided that after I’d gone through the next couple of pages I’d shut it and get some rest, I heard an inconsistent loud rap on the door that signaled that I’d probably not be getting any soon.I murmured at the fact that my quiet time had been disturbed as I dropped the book on my bed and walked toward the door. I opened it and as I’d predicted I was met with a guard who’d most likely be calling for me or Miimii.And chances were, it’d be me.“Are you Lustre?” He’d asked
Reid’s POVI couldn't take it any longer. Miimii’s sudden change in her usual approach and attitude toward me was killing me and making my insides churn like they’d been set on fire, one that’d been destined to burn indefinitely as long as this unfortunate situation and the distance between us lingered.It’d kept eating me out that she’d withdrawn from me because of how I’d kept on pushing her away and not because of the countless things I believed that I’d done wrong. That meant that she’d been honoring her wishes, and if I hadn't pushed her away so often, she might’ve still been willing to be with me.I needed to see her again, before I lost my fucking mind.I abruptly rose to my feet and headed toward my door with a renewed determination to get Miimii back no what it’d take to do so. I drew open the doors of my chambers and I looked around for a guard to call so that I could send for her, at least I still had a reasonable excuse to request her presence that wouldn't seem odd.“You
Miimii’s POV“Hey, look here,” I used my palms to tilt his head that’d been hanging low in shame toward me in one swift gesture.“I want you to listen to me, and to so very carefully” His eyes didn't meet mine still but I knew that I’d soon rid him of the guilt he felt.“Can you do that for me Reid?” I asked again.“Hmm?” He muttered almost unintelligible.“Listen good?” I replied and he nodded slowly as though he was scared of what my next words would be.Didn't he read meaning into my affectionate gesture of holding up his face? This was why our communication had always had hiccups, he read more into things that mattered much less.“Every single thing I told you the last time you’d confessed that you were too burdened with sin to be good enough for me still stands,” I paused for a bit and allowed what I’d said to sink in.As I’d expected, his eyes rose to meet mine finally. Even though they looked hesitant and heavy laden, I knew that as I spoke more and reassured him, they’d lighte
Fleki’s POVAn overwhelming surge of emotion that I couldn't wrap my head around enveloped me whenever my mind drifted to Lustre of late. I’d been running from emotions all my life, I’d avoided it like it was the origin of the fucking plague, I’d sworn myself off anything that’d make way for emotions such as this, I’d put every single damned wall high up just to avoid emotions like this.So how? When? Where? Did all of these emotions that now threatened to ruin me manage to emerge from? I had no clue what the answer to any of those questions were but they’d been weighing on me heavily for the longest time and I’d felt the need to address them once and for all. While It’d be a fucking huge lie to out rightly state that I hated them, there's one thing I was certain of when it came to them.They scared me.I’d gone against the most powerful werwolves in all of Silvercrest and beyond, I’d gone horn to horn with monsters of the wild that giants would cower at the sight of, I’d basked in t
Fleki’s POVAfter I’d enjoyed a refreshing bathe moments following the completion of my evening training session, I’d decided that it seemed like a lovely day to take a walk around hell’s hall because I couldn't remember when last I’d indulged in that after how incredibly chaotic the last month had turned out to be.I pulled on a casual shirt and I pulled on a pair of simple pants before I ruffled my wet hair and slicked it to the side as I usually did when I felt too lazy to comb through the tight little curls that formed after a cold shower. In no time, I was ready to head out for a refreshing walk, and I hoped that it’d be exactly what I needed to clear my head.I stepped out of my chambers and I decided to walk toward the gardens where I could bask in the welcome feeling of being amongst nature. Even though it was unlike me, I hummed lowly on my way there and I even waved at maids and guards as they bowed while I walked through the hallways when normally I’d just ignore them or sh
Fleki’s POV“Sit, breathe...” I moved Reid to take a seat at my study desk by holding onto his shoulders.Immediately he’d taken his seat, I turned to Lustre and signaled her to leave the room while he drew in sharp breaths. The minute she’d shut the door behind her I turned back to face Reid who looked a bit more level headed.“It's happening, a fucking coup. I've just been notified of a meeting that's been held with all the alphas in Silvercrest in attendance....” He trailed off as he waited for me to figure it out.“All the Alphas, except me. And I'm damn sure it's not coincidence” I began to feel heavily agitated as realization dawned on me.“No, they're still convinced that we're the odd ones out because our pack is made up of rogues and lone wolves that have no business being in Silvercrest” Reid confirmed my exacts thoughts as he spoke.“Those fucking spineless assholes! How dare they!” I cleared everything off of my table in one angry swipe as my anger exploded within me.“The
Fleki’s POVI sized the unfortunate bastard that’d dared to stand in my way while I was blinded with an inexplicable rage.I’d have expected a more becoming and appropriate attitude from a flimsy excuse of an Alpha that’d been on the receiving end of my anger once, not this thoughtless gesture of standing my path when I could crush a thousand men with the anger that pulsed through me.What the fuck was his unremarkable name again? “Luca, just let him go. It's enough” An elder identified the irritating man before me on cue and sought to pacify him for some reason. “You heard him, get out of my way this instant” I barked at him as my chest rose and fell in an unrhythmic pattern as I struggled to keep my anger at bay.“You think you're a fucking big shot because you built your pack from scratch?” He said instead of making any attempt to move.“I don’t think that I am, I'm the strongest Alpha any of you have ever been in the presence of,” I watched his one smug look turn into a tight fr
Lustre’s POVMy hands ran through Miimii’s soft brown strands of hair as I tilted her head to the aide gently and began another French braid as she yapped happily about the bundle.of flowers Reid had delivered to our chambers for her earlier that morning.“I mean. I've never seen these flowers before in the kingdom, they used to grow in my home town when I was a child and I loved them!” She gushed as she sniffed a rare pale purple flower she’d called a ‘Debbie’.“I’d never have pegged Reid as such a thoughtful man, you really did a number on him, I'm sure it was all you” I told her sincerely as I divided my focus between her and the braid.“Eh, we make each other so much better” She moved her head happily and shook my balance which slightly annoyed me.“I hope he'll accept you with a lopsided braid when you see him later since you can't sit right for a minute,” I steadied her head and picked up my pace in finishing the braid.Before she could get a defensive word out, we heard a knock
