2024-10-29 19:42:56Three days went by and still, there was no news about Alpha Greg. It was like he disappeared into the thin air with no evidence with his Luna.
The palace was under a major lockdown and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Damien was always working, trying to find the Alpha, and even when he was finally in the room he was always on the phone.
"Did they find anything?" Ruhee asked getting me out of my thoughts.
"No, not yet."
I walked away from the glass door and sat in front of the fireplace, "Do you think another Alpha is involved in this?"
She took a sip of hot chocolate, "It could be possible."
"Luca had a doubt on the Alpha of the crescent pack."
Ruhee stared into the burning flames, "He sounds like a dangerous man, his doubt could be right."
"But Damien said he was not a threat," I repeated the words from my first dinner with Damiens' family.
"He took over two packs at such a young age, from what I have hea

"Where are we going?"I looked at Ruhee, "We have to make a quick stop before reaching our destination."Before leaving I had to make things right for someone else as well. Ruhee was not happy there and she deserved a fresh start in a place where she was not judged by the absence of wolf.Ruhee was not happy with my decision of not becoming the Queen but like a good friend, she understood everything and supported my decision.After our talk about Ruhee I didn't see Damien and maybe it was for good because saying goodbye to him was something I was not prepared for.It should not be that difficult to not miss him. I just didn't have to think about him and soon I would find my new routine.Before going to my new apartment I decided to collect a few of my things and say goodbye to my family. They deserved to know I was alive."How did they manage to catch Greg anyway?" I asked Ruhee as we continued walking to
The dark side of the moon They know
I stopped when my eyes fell on the man sitting on the head chair with a displeased look that was always present on his face.I glanced at Faith who did not say anything about grandpa being in the town. She shook her head and pointed towards the empty chair next to her, without saying anything I sat down silently.Ruhee took a seat in front of me, next to mom."We are pleased to have you back with us, Eleanor," grandpa said in a gruff voice with no signs of happiness on his face.I had never seen the old man smile in my life. He had a balding hairline and light brown eyes that always study the tiny details of the room. Grandpa hated changes and maybe that's why he was still wearing his plaid shirt."Thank you, grandpa," I gave a tight smile."Be nice," Faith whispered in my ear.I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes, "I am always nice, people around me are the problem."Instead of saying anything, she gave me a
The dark side of the moon Time to say goodbye to my old life
The opportunity I was eagerly waiting for was finally there. No one was at home. Mom and Faith went out to do some work, dad and grandpa went to meet some friends while grandma was gone grocery shopping. All of them had something to do, I could hear the sour lies hidden perfectly behind their reasons to leave the house. "What exactly are you planning to do?" Ruhee whispered even though we were alone in the house. "How do you know I am planning to do something?" "You have that weird smile on your face," she whispered again. I gave her a look. "I need to find some proof." "Proof?" she followed me as I left my room. "Grandma gave us wolfsbane yesterday, it was clear she wanted to confirm if you were a werewolf or not. I want to know what she would have done if you were a werewolf." I didn't know from where I should start but I had a feeling I could find something in grandma's
The dark side of the moon Where is the key
I sat in silence as the sound of my cries echoed in the empty room.Adam was dead.The words seem far away from being real. No matter how much I tried I could not stop the tears from flowing.I lost the track of time I spent sitting in my room alone, mourning the death of my friend.What happened to him?The door opened after two knocks and Ruhee entered with concern and sympathy in her eyes."I heard what happened, I am sorry," she hugged me.I hugged her back instantly, "I just can't believe this.""I know," she brushed the hair away from my face, "if you want to talk, I am here."I wiped the tears away, "I want to be alone for a while."She gave a reluctant nod but respected my decision and left the room silently.I went to wash my face but paused to stare at my reflection. My face was stained with tears and my brown eyes were red and dull from crying.If Damien
The dark side of the moon Time to play my next move
We froze the moment we stepped out.Dad and grandpa were sitting on either side of the desk with a chessboard in the middle. None of them passed us a glance but I knew they were well aware of our presence."About time you played your move," grandpa's eyes were on the wooden chessboard but I felt the words were directed towards me."What's your next move?" I questioned.He turned his sharp squinted eyes in my direction, "You tell me, Eleanor, what do you think about the filthy creatures."I clenched my fist tightly but kept the neutral face, "Ironically that's exactly how the werewolf who tried to kill me in the woods addressed you.""Eleanor, that's not a way to talk to your grandfather," Dad said calmly.Just then the door opened and everyone else walked in."What is happening here?" Mom asked sternly looking at the four of us slowly."Our little Eleanor seems confused," grandma said moving
The dark side of the moon I know the truth
"Why are we here again?" Ruhee whispered while looking around the room carefully."They are planning something and I have a feeling I can find something here."I opened a file from another stack, it had information about the different packs, their territory map, the family tree. They were keeping an eye on almost every pack."How do you know that?" Ruhee was standing in the corner skeptically."Faith said something about a war and I know werewolves are not going to start it."Ruhee gave me another confused look."Damien used to tell me everything about the packs," I whispered, "he was worried about catching the Alpha so I used to ask him questions about werewolves as a distraction."She opened a file and started turning the pages, "Do you miss him?"She was looking at the words written on the white pages but her ears were waiting for the answer she already knew."It is not wrong to admit your feelings," she w
The dark side of the moon How did you get in this mess?
I tried not to react to what Faith just said, "I don't know what you are talking about?"Faith put a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth, "I have a feeling you do know what I am talking about."I decided to stay silent."What's the point of hiding the truth, baby sis? We all know you can not lie," she added the last part with a small smirk on her lips."If you are here to get any information about him, I am not telling you anything."I put the bowl of ice cream down and was about to stand up but Faith stopped me before I could."Oh, I know you are not going to tell me anything and that's completely fine," she smiled giving me the bowl again.I was about to walk out of the room to check up on Ruhee but Faith called my name, "How did you get in this mess, Ela."I paused when I heard her call me by the name she had not used since childhood."It was inevitable, I guess," I whispered."It's a shame after eve
The dark side of the moon Do not come back here
The sharp ray of the sun entered through the window, hitting me directly on the face. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around the room in a daze.With a yawn, I stretched my arms getting out of the bed.I rubbed my eyes as I tried to get rid of the sleep after staring at the blank purple wall of my room. But as soon as I remembered about last night my eyes opened wide forgetting everything about sleep.Faith...ice cream."Faith!!" I yelled opening the door of my room not caring if anyone was sleeping or doing some work.I banged my fists on the door of her bedroom, "FAITH OPEN THE DOOR!!"I kept slamming my fist on the door until I heard the sound of footsteps."What is your problem at 7 in the morning?" Faith asked with her eyes closed halfway."What did you do?" I ignored her question."What?""Oh, stop that. I know you added something into my ice cream yesterday when I was

The dark side of the moon I want her
Two weeks had passed. The icy walls of the palace had witnessed the gruesome sight of the murder of the King, Queen of the werewolf kingdom by Lilith and so many other wolves who were murdered by her to achieve the goal. I could not say everything went back to normal because the truth was far away from it. Damien was with me but he was not the same after losing his family. He did not only lose his father that day but his mother too, even though Lilith did not feel the same Damien always loved her like his real mother. Lilith was still in the cells, she would not say anything and would barely eat the food, there was regret in her eyes but it was not for her actions it was for her son. Luca was a whole other story, he was alive only because the dagger did not pierce through his heart but he was unconscious and not healing like he normally should. He survived thanks to the Alpha of the crescent pack, he had some contact with the witches who were ki

"Someone help, GUARDS," I screamed from the top of my lungs but the defeating silence was the only response I got as I ran towards the doorway of the left wing.I stopped running when I caught the horrific sight of guards on the floor with blood pooling around their bodies. There were no other guards in the entire hallway. I had a feeling there were no guards in the palace, if there were, they should have been here by now.I had to reach the main door and warn the guards outside but the time was not on my side, Lilith must be almost healed by now."There she is," a large man screamed running in my way with a wicked smile on his lips.I started running but it was of no use as the man shifted into a sandy wolf midway. I was thrown to the ground, there was nothing I could use to defend myself. Just when I thought my end was near a vicious growl fell into my ears and the sandy wolf turned towards the sound but it was too late for him. A large blac
The dark side of the moon A tragic end of the royal family
Pairs of eyes kept looking at me as I passed the familiar hallway but none of them uttered a word. It was evident in their eyes they wanted to say something but the fear was making them stay silent.I bit the inside of my cheeks and continued walking, barely keeping my excitement to see Damien. I did not know how he would react but it was time for him to know everything....everything about the person who killed his mother. The person who was living with them and waiting to stab them.Two guards were standing at the entrance of the left-wing but other than them no one was there. Damien did not like people entering his personal space and the guards earlier were for my protection when he was not in the palace.I opened the door of the bedroom where the scent of Damien welcomed me. I smiled looking at the flames burning in the fireplace and the chair in front of it.Damien was in the room."Damien, I know this must be a surprise
The dark side of the moon Trouble was around
I loosened my hold on the dagger when the man fell on the ground and Amber was standing behind him with a smirk.She took a large step and extended her hand in my direction. I looked at her hand skeptically and dragged my eyes towards the man on the ground. There were no signs of injury on his body but he was not moving at all."Is he..""Yep," she did not let me complete the sentence."But how..""Burrowed a little gift from your sister," she answered taking her hand away when I stood up without her help."What did you do? If anything happened to my sister..." I pointed my index finger at her.She rolled her eyes, "Relax, I have no interest in getting my nails dirty with the hunter's blood.""What are you doing here?" I kept an eye on my surroundings not trusting Amber. If she was here, it meant trouble was around as well."In case you failed to notice, I saved your life," she ended the sen
The dark side of the moon Who were they?
"So, you have lived there for months," Faith turned her index finger towards Ruhee, "and you, for almost your whole life." "Well, not exactly my whole life but go on." "And yet, none of you know any damn numbers to contact them?" Faith squinted her eyes as she looked between both of us. We were sitting in the airport and Faith was keeping her word to accompany us to the palace. "I didn't have a phone and I have a goldfish memory when it comes to numbers," I defended myself. "I never had anyone to call," Ruhee lifted her right shoulder casually, "I was living in the palace or the mansion, and whenever they needed me to do some work I was there." Ruhee said every word without any emotion. Faith glanced at me and I shook my head slightly, giving her a hint to not continue the conversation. I did not want Faith to ask something that might hurt Ruhee's feelings. "What are you doing?" I tried to peek into Faith's ph

"You little...""Father, enough...I am ashamed to call you my father. How could you murder a child?" mom yelled furiously. It was the first time I saw her raising her voice at anyone."No. It is all her doing," he pointed his finger at me, "she is on their side, she is working for the filthy creatures. It is their plan. they want to destroy us."Grandpa was trying to make everyone believe his words, his voice held urgency as he stared at everyone begging with his eyes to believe in him."It is not about sides. I just don't want innocents to die....innocents like Adam. The fight between the hunters and werewolves was over ten years ago and you are just trying to start it again. They are not bad people, they have suffered the loss too," but my words meant nothing to him. There was only hatred in his eyes as he looked at me.I inhaled a long breath, "I have lived with them, if they were bad I would be dead a long time ago but those people did everythi
The dark side of the moon Game's over
I knocked on the door and waited for the response while holding my breath."Eleanor, what a lovely surprise," grandpa said in his gruff voice with no sign of emotions on his face.I gave him a tight smile."Are you here to apologize for your barbaric behavior?"I bit my tongue to stop myself from giving him a remark that would not be good for my plan."I am sorry for my behavior, grandpa."I tried to make the words believable but from his squinted eyes I had a feeling I was not much successful."Very well, if you don't mind I am in a hurry."He closed the door and started taking quick steps.I didn't stop him and continued following him, "I know I have made you very upset in the last few days but I want to make up for that.""You are wrong my child, it is not the last few days it is the last few years."I rolled my eyes but kept walking knowing very well where he wa

"What happened there?""They kept on asking me questions about your soul mate," Ruhee said in her soothing voice, "and I kept on changing the topic.""They didn't hurt you, right?" I asked with worry. I did not want her to suffer more because of my family.Ruhee shook her head with a smile, "Your mother was there the entire time and she did not let them take any extreme measures. In fact, she was not happy with their decision at all."I bit the inside of my cheeks."Get some sleep."I stood up and left the room silently. Ruhee probably did not get the chance to sleep and needed some rest.I did not get much far before Faith stopped me, "El...""Save it," I continued walking."That is not a very nice way to behave with your sister," a gruff voice made me stop.I turned towards grandpa with a frown, "I was not trying to be nice."The corner of his already down lips turned f
