Estelle gently massaged her neck as she and her maids walked to the palace. She was stressed, really stressed as she was just returning from the pack's orphanage but to be honest, she was so very proud of River. The place wasn't even looking like what she'd expected, it looked more glamorous and a more better looking place for children unlike the ones she'd always seen before.Even the children looked extremely well taken care of. They had looked withdrawn and reluctant to her at first but with time and after she had played with them for a while, they had became free with her.Today was the day they normally received food specially from the Alpha and Luna. Prisma had said River and Marianne were usually the one to go to them before but since he had a Luna now, it was now her duty. She actually didn't mind, she enjoyed being with them. It gave her the familiar feels of being with her sister, the children reminded her of her Sunny." Luna, you should take a nap." Prisma suggested b

Estelle hissed, angrily removing the pins that held her hair away as she plonked down on the bed. Antara and the others knew how foul her mood was so they quietly did what they were to do before they made her take a bath." You all should leave." Estelle spoke up just in the middle of the bath. The maids shared glances before nodding and doing as they were told but not without Prisma throwing an accusing glare at Sara who sighed. The Alpha had ordered for her to be released just after Estelle's outbursts earlier in the court." Please, be careful, Luna." Antara said as they left while Estelle sighed out loud, dipping her body more deeper into the soap bubbles in the bathtub. The soothing fragrance of the lavender oil and flowers that were used for her bath seemed to be a very good soothing agent for the headache she was having at the moment.Recalling what had happened earlier, her lips curled gently. She couldn't believe she had spoken up like that in front of so many people. At

Naina sighed as she saw him walking away like a model with his usual and normal straight, rigid face and she hurried to catch up with him, pretending like she was just coincidentally passing by." Hey." She waved, grinning but Neil only glanced up once at her before turning his face away as he continued oh his tracks but Naina rushed to him. What a snob. She hissed inwardly as she stood before him.After a while with the both of them just staring at themselves, he finally spoke up with tweaked brows and with a very displeased stare. " What is it?" He asked and at that moment, Naina wondered why he was always looking so dissatisfied like he was not contented with life but she just heaved." I waved at you but you ignored me. I just wanted you to say something and you finally did." She replied, smiling but he still had that uncomfortable look on his face.He didn't like as she was standing before him. She was making his wolf jump and hiss at him for being stupid for ignoring her, t

Leila saw the confused look in her new found friend's eyes and sighed." Could you elaborate on what you mean, Luna Leila?" Estelle asked, stealing a side glance at Lair who she didn't think had looked away from her at any second." Should we take a walk at least? We could talk better." Leila said instead while Estelle wondered on if they were to take a walk inside a forest or something." We won't be going out." Leila spoke up as if reading her mind but when Estelle took a glance at Lair and when she remembered how River had told her to wait for him, she didn't think taking any kind of walk around such unknown place was a good idea. She wasn't going to let River regret bringing her along so she could only refuse Leila who didn't take her refusal to heart at all." So tell me, what's that about? And by the way, it looks beautiful." Estelle asked again and Leila nodded in agreement. She knew Estelle was human." Actually, this mark is a normal mark that could be seen on females nec

" You know I said I wanted to tell you something?" Estelle mumbled into River's ear as they went downstairs.The man only hummed in reply. " You've gained weight, Elle." He said instead and she poked him on the back." Deal with it." She clicked her tongue with a small smile. " Well, Neil found his mate." Estelle finally said and she felt River suck in his breath for a moment." What are you talking about, Elle?" He scoffed instead, sounding like he didn't believe what she had just said." I'm serious." Estelle refuted. " I'm sure he hasn't told you yet because he's not ready to but I'm serious. I even know who she is, I don't really tell lies." She pouted but River was silent.He finally asked again after a while. " Who's she?" He asked but Estelle had switched back to her annoying kind of self. " I'm not gonna tell you. You didn't believe me in the first place so how sure am I that you'd believe me if I tell you this now?" She snapped, clipping her legs tighter around his wais
