It all felt like I was watching a really bad movie on repeat. She was practically everywhere in the dining room, but most of the time, she had herself glued to Agnar, who saw absolutely nothing wrong with it, or maybe he was silently enjoying everything. "Celine, darling, you are so nice; you would make an excellent Luna; don't you think so, Agnar?" Gertrude shouted from across the table, making sure that everyone heard her. "Yeah," Agnar replied, taking a mouthful of his food. "So typical," I whispered to myself while giving him a disdainful look. "I mean she could have been a great partner for the ball" She said making a pitiful face, Agnar glanced at me but quickly looked away before our eyes could meet. "Please Gertrude, I will be fine" Celine replied. I prayed to the moon goddess for Gertrude to choke on her food. I knew the minute I saw Gertrude seated in the dining room that the game was on. She never eats in the dining room, I guess the pact has finally been
"What is it, Kay? You don't look so well." Agnar asked. He tossed the document he was reading on the couch and came over. He snaked his hands around my waist. I tried ignoring the warmth and sparks I felt from the area his hand touched."Nothing, just a slight headache," I quickly replied. "Did you take your medications today?" he stared at me with worry written all over him. "I forgot," I replied. "Sure, you did; come on," he said, dragging me along. I willingly followed him; he grabbed my medication from the shelf and handed it over to me to drink. "You should rest," he said to me, and immediately I wanted to tell him that I still had a lot to do. "But.... ""Luna is off duty for today," he said, covering me up with the duvet, "Fine" I replied and I slowly dozed off. I woke up a few hours later to see him still seated at the same spot I met him when I came into the room. I was surprised that the room was awfully quiet. I wonder where Chatterbox had disappeared to. I was
It was a little late in the evening. I had been looking for a way to save Agnar from what I had to do. I mean, I would gladly end his stupid life, but it would only destroy everything I had worked for and my chances of finding out who was behind this whole mess. I was standing in the mirror, staring at the gorgeous figure in the mirror, the dress hugging my body, vividly defining my curves, and my skin tone complimenting the silver. "If I end up committing murder, then you should be held responsible," Agnar whispered in my ear while hugging me from behind. "Are you planning to?" I was asked wondering if found out. "You look this beautiful, and you expect me not to kill any man that dares look at you." "You wouldn't" I sighed in relief. "Ok, but I will poke their eyes out, that I can assure you." I gave him a hard stare and he kissed my cheeks. I felt my skin burn with pleasure, and my cheeks look more red than usual. Thank goddess, the make-up I was wearing hid it pretty well. I
"Kay!" Agnar called out, walking towards me while Rex trailed behind."Kay!!" he called yet again. "Over here," I replied while still watching the Lycan prince walk away. Talking with him stirred up emotions within me that I had thought we were dead. "Is that the prince?" Agnar asked, wearing a frown. "Yeah, he seems like a nice guy.""Oh wow, but just be careful, he is dangerous" he responded, looking at me astonished."What are you doing out here? We should get back inside," he said. I knew I had been gone for far too long, and it was only a matter of time before someone came looking for me. "I needed some fresh air," I replied. Rex stood there like a statue, trying not to be noticed. I had always meant to ask Agnar why on earth he was alone most of the time, but never got the opportunity to. "Come on, baby, it's time to go meet with the Lycan prince," he said, stretching his hands to me. I grabbed hold of it and made our way into the hall. I could feel Celine's laser eyes o
I was sipping a cold cup of milkshake while I listened to Celine and Gertrude screaming in pain; there was no music as soothing as their cries. I have never felt so alive as I felt hearing their pain. I could hear Agnar and Rex speaking to the pack doctor about what happened, and he asked them to bring me in. "Kay""Hey, how are they?" I asked him, faking being as confused as he was. "They are in a lot of pain.""I wonder what could have gone wrong since I ate from the same plate." "Speaking of that, could you come inside? I want the doctor to look at you," he said."Sure," I said. I stood up while taking a long sip from my milkshake. The doctor went on and on, asking me series of questions. What he found confusing was the fact that I ate from the same plate but I was not in pain. "If only we could get a hold of the plate of food, this would have been resolved a little quicker.""What do you think might have caused it?" Agnar questioned the doctor."There are a lot of things tha
I almost had a heart attack when Therese said she saw who laced the food with Wolfsbane. I know it was all shades of wrong, but I kind of wish I had let her die. "One of the maids that helped in the kitchen; it was my first time seeing her in the pack house.""You saw the maid do it?" I asked a little confused. "I didn't catch her in the act though, but I just have a gut feeling that it is her." "Did you know?" I said, slowly nodding my head. "Yes Luna" "Therese, it's almost dinner time." "Oh, I completely forgot. We will talk more about this later Luna; dinner won't make itself," she said, running off. I sighed in relief, when she was out if sight, to think she had caught me in the act made me almost go into a stroke. * * * * * *The rest of the week went by so quietly and uneventfully. Gertrude and Celine were still licking their wounds, while I went by my Luna's duties without a worry. I barely see Agnar as Celine has him wrapped around her tiny fingers like a puppet.
To think Agnar suggested the vacation because of his mistress made me want to end his miserable life a lot quicker than I had planned, but then I knew there was no winning this game without dabbling my feet in the mud first. It was about time I started thinking about my exit plans. I have been quite busy, planning the pack mating ceremony and tracing the money allocated to the school pack that had suddenly gone missing. I was at my office speaking to the designer on the phone about the theme of the ceremony when I heard the door open. "I will talk to you later, please," I quickly said, and I dropped the phone. "Is everything okay?""Why, can't I be in your office?" he said with both hands behind him."No, no, that's not what I meant; you are welcome," I said as he moved over to where I was sitting down on the other side of the table. He sat down on the table facing me. "How is the preparation looking?" he asked."Everything is fine; I was on the phone with the designer when you
A black power bike is a right of passage in the organization; each assassin is given a black bike, on the night of your initiation into the family, we only differentiate one bike from the other with the numbers written on it."Is there something written at the corner?" I asked Cole, who was still busy looking at the bike. "Something, like a name?" He said, I was silently praying that I would be wrong, but when he wasn't forthcoming with the reply, I grew impatient watching him search for it at the wrong places. I hurriedly moved closer, and in one glance I saw the number written on it. I gasped, realizing that I wasn't just right; but it was the ghost I thought I would never see again. "How did you know about the number?" Agnar asked. His stare was as confusing as ever. But I was too dumbstruck to say a word. "Is something wrong?" he asked. "Luna Katya, you look flustered," Alina pointed out. "I'm fine; I'm just not feeling myself today," I said, trying to cover up my tracks. "
