2024-10-29 19:42:56"This is for you," Ruhee announced with a wide grin on her pink lips the minute she entered the room.
I passed a look of confusion seeing her empty hands. But shortly after her, a guard entered with a dress wrapped in a nude bag in his hands.
"Where should I leave this?"
"Please just leave it there," I pointed towards the nearby couch.
He left the dress there and left.
"Who sent this?" I asked as Ruhee unzipped the bag.
She removed a burgundy sequin dress with long net sleeves. It was backless but had two golden chains crossing each other on the back and a slit on the left leg that started from just below the thigh. The dress was long and the skirt was flowy even with the slit.
"This is beautiful," I said in awe.
My eyes stopped on the tiny off-white card hanging out from the bag.
I picked it up, 'I am sure you are gonna love it, Your favorite girl, Emily.'
I giggled reading the n

Every minute passed with difficulty, it was bringing me closer to meeting all the guests. I was almost ready with my hair in an elegant bun, we decided to keep the eye makeup light and go with bold burgundy lips. Ruhee was ready as well, her hair unlike me was flowing like a river reaching her waist. She kept her lips nude but did a smokey eye. Damien was waiting for me outside but my legs were shaking. I could not trust myself to walk down the stairs. "What if I tripped and fell in front of everyone?" I asked standing close to the door. "You won't, Nora. I will be there with you," Damien tried to convince me. I stayed silent and opened the door. Damien was standing outside wearing a black tuxedo just like his hair color. His blue eyes started shining the second they fell on me. "Wow, you look beautiful," he closed the distance between us. "You don't look too bad either," I let
The dark side of the moon   Screams
I was finally standing alone but two arms appeared out of nowhere engulfing me in a tight hug. "I missed you so much," Emily almost shouted in my ear. With a giggle, I hugged her back, "I missed you too, where were you? I thought your parents didn't give you permission to come here." She rolled her eyes, "This is a party full of Alphas and Betas, when I told my father I want to come here he looked happy for the first time in my 19 years of existence." I shook my head in amusement. "You look gorgeous," Emily was wearing a black gown with a puffy skirt that was reaching her ankles but the skirt had a cut in the front where the fabric was crisscrossing. She had done perfect smokey eyes with nude lips. She had her hair in loose curls with simple diamond earrings dangling from the ears. "I know," she grinned, "but you shouldn't be the one to talk you look absolutely breathtaking." I let out a short laugh, "
The dark side of the moon   Where is she?
There were murmurs and loud whispers everywhere.I was still on the ground with Damien shielding my body from the impact. Everything happened too fast for me to understand but there was a loud sound of glass being shattered on the floor.Damien gave me a hand to stand up, I held his hand tightly and stood up slowly with a wince. A small piece of glass was in my arm as well as my leg, but it was nothing compared to what Damien had on the backside of his body.The large glass chandelier was shattered into hundreds of pieces on the floor, where I was standing.Some guests had a confused look on their faces, while others were shocked by the events."Are you hurt?" Damien checked my body for injuries.I shook my head, "I am fine, don't worry about it."But Damien didn't look convinced enough and ordered a girl to take care of my wounds.Just then Silver came running towards us, "Someone made sure the chandelier wou
The dark side of the moon   I thought I knew her
"What's going on?" I followed Luca holding my dress with one hand trying my best not to trip and fall but I could not say the same for Emily.Luca and I froze when we heard the shattering sound. I turned around to check if Emily was okay or not. Emily had her hands on her mouth and her wide eyes were looking at pieces of the porcelain statue lying on the ground.I stayed silent to run after Luca who was walking way too fast for me."Now is not the right time to explain."He turned towards the left and opened the door of the soundproof room.The King and the Queen were sitting on the seats they were sitting on earlier whereas Damien was leaning on the bookshelf talking to Silver. All the heads turned towards the door when Luca and I entered with Emily following us shortly after.Damien raised his brows looking at Luca."I can't find her," he ran his hands through his hair, "she can never do any such thing.""Th
The dark side of the moon   It was him
I was still not ready to believe Ruhee could do any such thing.A large part of my brain was still not ready to accept it no matter how much I tried.I changed into shorts and a pink top with full sleeves after removing the makeup.I stepped out of the room and Damien was still talking to someone on the phone. His face held a serious look with the scowl never leaving his forehead.I went towards him but he pointed his index finger asking me to wait. I gave him a nod.He finally disconnected the call."Did they find Ruhee?" I asked slowly.Damien let out a sigh, "No, there is no sign of her anywhere."I pressed my lips together tightly in a thin line."I can't believe this. Why would she do that?"Damien put his phone on the table, "We will get the answers soon.""No, if she wanted to kill me she had so many chances. She could have done that successfully and without even any witnesses if sh
The dark side of the moon   What is the reason for this noise at 3 am?
I stared at the man speechlessly as no words formed in my mouth. The man I thought I would never find was standing in front of me, with a weird grin on his face. "Can you give this to him?" he moved the white sheet in front of me. I did not move from my position. "Why don't you give the list to Damien yourself?" I gave him a fake smile. "It is fine if he is busy I can come back later." "No!!" I said loudly, "I mean, this is important and he is almost done with his phone call." I glanced towards the glass door, Damien was still talking on the phone. "Stay here," I ran towards Damien. He gave me a confused look. I opened my mouth but shut it again, the door was still open and the man could hear everything, "Damien someone wants to see you." "I will call you back," he said to someone. "Hurry up," I pushed Damien inside the door earning a scowl from h
The dark side of the moon   What happened to you?
Damien entered with Mark whose face was swollen and bloody, he was limping while holding his left leg with a bloodied hand. His clothes were torn from places and wherever the eyes could see blood was gushing out. But even with that condition, there was no guilt in his eyes as he stared at me.I was amazed at how he was still standing.Silver held Mark's arm roughly earning a small growl from him."Oh, you're going to regret it, 'mark' my words," Silver smiled but then looked around, "sorry."Behind them, Luca was standing with something in his hands. It was not clear because of everyone covering him.I moved a little closer to get a better look and as soon as I did, a gasp escaped my lips.It was Ruhee."Ruhee," I whispered and everyone turned to look at them.She was still in the purple dress but it was no longer the same. It was muddied and dark from all the dirt."The doctor is almost here," Damien s
The dark side of the moon   He was behind everything
The door of the room opened and Damien entered with a scowl."What's going on?""Ruhee was about to tell us something," I answered keeping my eyes on Ruhee."Where did you go that night after leaving Eleanor to die?" Damien questioned before Ruhee could say anything.She blinked her eyes a few times looking at me, "I was kidnapped. I would never leave her alone."Ruhee kept her eyes on me as if asking if I believed her or not.I gave her a small smile to ease some of her worries, "Tell us everything in detail."She nodded with a shine in her eyes."We were in the party and everything was going on smoothly but I noticed one of the head guards, Mark, acting a little suspiciously.""Suspicious how?" Silver asked, I didn't realize when he entered the room and stood behind me."He was always looking at you," Ruhee paused turning her head towards me, "before the party he suggested your food and drinks

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
The dark side of the moon   I can't lose you
"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
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
