~•ARET•~Dressed in maid clothes and pushing a trolley of food, was Hawaii and I walking through the dungeons with the trolley in between us.“Your majesty, I feel like my head will be cut off any moment.” Hawaii whimpered, making me place my hand on hers.“Stop!” We halted, the guards walking towards us.“What's in it?” One questioned, tapping his baton on the aluminum tray.“We have brought food for the prisoners,” I spoke up l, watching as the guard opened the food, picking a bagel.“You can go,” he says, unlocking the gates for us to pass through.I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, the air was cold and chilly. I wondered if nova got any warmth.“Hehehe!” A prisoner laughed as we passed by her cell.“They got you too, huh?” Another whispered, Hawaii, clinging unto me in fear.“Guess what?”What?“They got me too.” She cackled, Hawaii, looking like she wanted to be anywhere but certainly not here.As we walked further, we got to a cell that seemed isolated from others.
~•NOVA•~“Thi-This is spectacular,” I say in awe as Dwayne led me into the Supreme Beta Quarters.“If you think this is amazing, wait until you see my chambers,”We walked into the huge bronze doors that were wide open.“This is so beautiful,” I gushed out in amazement, starting at the chambers. “No, you are.” He whispers into my ear, making a blush form on my cheeks.“Oh, please.” I rolled my eyes, hitting his chest, and he chuckled, making his chest vibrate.I cleaned up earlier and was dressed in a blue dress, and I looked just about like a princess.Or as my mate said; 'Dwayne's princess'“There's a sitting area on the balcony, want to go see?” He asked, and I nodded quickly, placing my hand in his as he directed me to the balcony.“Magnificent,” I say, stunned at the view from up here.“Let's sit.” He urges, pulling me down with his arm holding me in place.“Thank you for finding me,” I mutter without raising my head.“It's an honor and besides, I want a bigger thank you.” He sa
~•ARET•~I brought my knees up to my chest, sobbing while Hawaii tried consoling me.“I always knew I was cursed from birth!” I sniffled while taking the strawberry caramel ice cream that Hawaii had brought for me.“I hope this cools your mood, get it? Cools.” Hawaii says pun-intended.I glare at her as she gulps, sitting next to me.“It's okay, Luna.”“It's not okay! I'm so cursed, I got a scary and heartless alpha who doesn't love me as my mate.”I remembered the way Supreme Alpha Mobali had glared at me, giving me that look.The hatred in his eyes made me cringe in fear. He didn't want me, no one did.I walk towards my balcony, resting on the railings as I tried jumping down.“Luna!” Hawaii screamed, making Lincoln burst into the room, rushing to help me get down. "Let me go! Why don't I get to be loved?' I sobbed, yanking my arms away from their reach.“ I never asked for any of this,” I say, crawling up to my fluffy bed and rubbing my eyes as I plopped onto the soft bed.I coul
~•ARET•~The garden was wide and rich in flowers and trees.Birds chirped and I could feel a different surge of energy as I stepped further into the garden.There were three sets of tables with chairs on each side. Nova was seated in the middle, staring at the greenhouse in amusement.She turned in my direction and called me over. “Aret! Come on!” Seeing her so happy, I didn't know when I just burst into tears, my legs giving up on me.“Aret!” Nova rushed towards me, holding me up and placing me on a nearby bench. “What's wrong?” She asked, her eyebrows furrowing in worry.I stared at her, she was glowing. Her hair looked rich, and her eyes shone brighter.My eyes trailed down to her neck and I could see the initials DC with a little crown branded on her.“You got marked.” I breathed as I could see her face morphing into a pink ball.My smile faltered a bit, she had only been here for a week, and she was already marked, unlike me.But then, after what I found out, I would rather not
~•ARET•~The forest was pitch black. The grass was crispy under my feet. I looked up, and the trees were steeples tall. The night stars were shining like silver snowflakes, and the Moon watched me as I went deeper into the forest.I tucked away the dagger I had stolen from Lincoln when he assisted me to the garden.I wondered how Nova was handling things, but then if it wasn't going well, an army of soldiers would have been after me by now.Drops of rain hit my face, and before I could look up to the sky, It all came pouring down on me.I looked around searching for shade as I stood drenched in the rain, I walked further only to find a cave barely covered behind the trees.I dashed in, scanning my surroundings, the cave was bright with only the entrance I came in as the only way out.Furthermore, I sat on the cold rocky ground, watching the rain pour down. My eyelids began to feel heavy as I brought my knees up to my chest, folded my arms, and embraced the darkness.~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chi
~NOVA~I stood in front of the tall window in the chambers watching as Mobali my room to the castle grounds to see that Mobali had already shifted into his human form holding in his wolf form rushes into the castle gates with Aret on his back. I gasp, rushing out of Aret who seemed limp in his arms.“What did you do to her?” I question, he raised his eyes in my direction.“She was attacked by rogues, apparently, she had escaped from the castle and no one knew, not even you, her best friend.”I gulped, taking a step back as I felt a warm hand squeezing my arm and I felt safe.“Cut it out, Mo., you're scaring her.” Dywane snapped at mobali who sneered, walking away.“Why wouldn’t she escape after finding out how much of a kill freak you people are?” he stopped abruptly in his footsteps.“What do you mean?”“She knows,”“knows what?” Mobali questioned, making me glare at him boldly.“How you sent all the males including her brother and father to aturion. That was the reason she ran away
~ARET~Grounded.The word echoes in my head as I bolt from the bed.The red marks on my wrists had all disappeared without a trace. I don't remember applying any remedy.Shoot.I forgot I was a werewolf, but then the pain wasn't supposed to just stop without applying an ointment.Was it all a dream? I wondered.I got up from my bed, rushing towards the huge brass doors. I sighed, holding the handle slightly, bending it but it didn't budge.I growled deeply, hitting my foot at the brass doors as hot tears poured down to my cheeks while I kept hitting it furiously.“No! No!” I cried out, running to my balcony which was already bolted shut.“Who does he think he is? Do I look like a child?” I say, pulling the locks of my platinum blonde hair.Reflect on your mistakes.I remember Mobali's words. “If the only way to get out of here is by respecting and obeying that bastard, then that is what ill do.”I can't survive out there in my state but I will build myself up and be strong enough both
~ARET~“Are you going to stay angry at me forever?” Hawaii asked, I was still settling into my new Office that I had been assigned to perform my duties as Luna and Supreme Luna Queen.“If possible, yes, yes I will,” I responded, picking out some files from the dark-colored desk.The Supreme Luna Office is as big as a quarter itself. The main entrance is the lounge or waiting room, then the inner is my office and a door leads to a bathroom and a little bedroom for rest.“Lun-”“Shh,” I say, bringing my finger to my lips and glaring at Hawaii, I stepped in front of the full-length mirror admiring my outfit. I was dressed in a yellow long-sleeved dress with white heels and a topaz-embedded tiara.“I'm truly sorry, you know that.” Hawaii explained while I stamped documents.“You are my lady-in-waiting, not the Alpha's, my orders should surpass his. Always.” I instructed as Hawaii nodded vigorously, making me smirk.“Yes, yes, I understand, and ill never make that mistake again.”“Good, No
