I started to feel very bored at the castle after a while. Luna duties were heavy and fulfilling, but also very exhausting. I needed a break from the mundanity of my life. "Darling?" The Alpha King called out to me in bed and I turned to face him. It was a Sunday morning, and we had not gotten out of bed. "Yes, Baby." I said quietly with a faraway look on my face. "Are you good, my love? You have been mostly silent and unhappy lately. Is everything alright?" He asked, and I smiled sadly at him. "Honestly? I am just really tired, my darling. I am in need of some quality respite. I am burning out badly and I guess it is beginning to show just how tired I actually am…" I replied, feeling too tired and drained. "I am so sorry about that, my darling. What do you say we take a vacation? Just you and I enjoying sunsets, ocean views et al… What say you, my love?" The Alpha King said lovingly with so much mirth in his eyes. I could not hide my joy as I looked up at him with teary eyes. "R
I felt like my life with the Alpha King in the Castle had slipped into a very predictable routine. It was something that I sometimes feared would end us whenever I went on my overthinking spree, but it simply had not. At least not yet. I sometimes wondered if he missed Morrigan, and if he probably had secret rendezvous with her. The mere thought of it made her blood boil and made her feel very uncomfortable. The Queen mother after her return to the castle was tentative on all her actions. I did not completely trust her, so I had eyes on her and Gamma. Attus had asked his mother to live with himself and Martha, but she declined, saying that she preferred to live in the castle where the memory of her late husband was still present. I wanted to return to my original pack. I wanted newer challenges and a new life. I loved my life with the Alpha King as Luna, but even the vacation had not completely worn down my itch to live a proactive life. I wanted to be eby myself and not have to alw
"How could you even bear to still stay in the same space as him after everything you went through at his hands? I would… If it were me, I would have… Arrrgh!" I yelled, turning red from my anger at the injustice. "So, imagine my fury when I noticed the old patterns with you, Baby. I literally lost my mind. I know how we were not in love at first, so it would be even easier for you two to bond and get obsessed with each other. I did not know what to do because we have a standing rule, that nobody ever talks about or mentions that entire ordeal." The Alpha King shook his head sadly. "I still fight so hard to get over everything that I lost when Attus betrayed me and slept with the first woman I ever loved. And. To think that Morrigan and everyone else tried to call my attention to the possibility of it and I turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to all of them. I was too in love to want to hear anything else. It started out exactly like the both of you always being seen together and spend
Even though the Alpha King and I had discussed everything conclusively, I had to take a chance and go for what I wanted out of my life. So I packed a bag, and my packing was my way of convincing myself that I wanted to take a chance on myself. I had betted on myself that I could be a good Luna, and now, it was time to face and resolve my past so that I could move on finally and find peace with myself. "I am going back to my parents' pack," I said simply to the Alpha King on my way to the bathroom to have my evening shower. He stopped tapping on the laptop on his work desk in front of him and turned to look at me. But I kept walking like I was not aware of his gaze. "I am not sure I heard exactly what you said, my love." He said, standing up and walking into the bathroom with me. I turned to look at him as I took my robe off and stepped into the jacuzzi. "Oh, I'm pretty sure that you heard me, Darling. You just want it to be that you did not hear right. But sadly for you at least, y
As my cab arrived at the castle, I was immediately struck by the blend of modern amenities and medieval charm. I paid the cab driver and lifted the tail of my red dress slightly from the floor, walking really with my head held high, my neck straightened and my back stiffened. I was ready to have fun and exact my revenge most beautifully and intriguingly. I made a grand and fashionably late entrance, letting my dress tail fall to the ground and walking majestically into the castle.The castle's exterior was majestic, with towering stone walls and turrets, but as I stepped inside, I was greeted by a modern foyer, complete with sleek marble floors and an art installation hanging from the ceiling. Every pair of the eyes in the form was trained on my silhouette. I artfully slipped a glass of wine from a waiter as I made my way further into the castle.Making my way through the castle, I discovered that every room had b
"Wolves! Stop her!" I heard behind me and I turned instantly, confused as to what was going on. Everyone in the ballroom had come outside and were all standing five steps above me watching as the guards circled me, trying to capture me. Jake stood in front of all the news-hungry people, telling his guards what to do."What are you doing?" I asked loudly, watching Jake in confusion."You are to be captured for treason, Clara Greyson," Jake ordered, and I chuckled in disbelief while watching the wolf guards with my peripheral vision.I closed my eyes, instantly changing from the dazed horny girl craving some TLC and hating herself for it to Xavier's Luna and a powerful wolf. There was a loud noise from the crowd when I shifted into my wolf form. I felt a surge of power throughout my body, and I felt my muscles contract. My eyes were bloodshot when I opened them again and looked aroun
Thomas and I set off following the Alpha King's directive. We made lot of pit stops while he made his way to save me from my own stubborn desire to exact a scandalous revenge on my parents."Is that my picture on the papers?" I asked Thomas at one of our pit stops and he looked at me warily."I don't think you should see this," he said while hiding the newspaper in his hand behind him. I looked hard at him, sensing my anxiety already starting to get the better of me."No. I want to see it!" I insisted, getting up from the chair in the small room and grabbing the paper from his hands.Just as I had seen, there was a picture of me in the arms of Jake at the rooftop terrace of the castle.My mouth went open and my hands started shaking as I rushed to the middle page that had the story in it. Jake had definitely blackmailed me in order to destroy
My comment about Attus and Morrigan was below the belt, and I cussed myself quietly for saying that. " Okay, Clara. Okay." The Alpha King said finally."What does that mean?" I asked."You are a whore, but are you also daft? It means save yourself, Bitch!" He said angrily and ended the call.I stood looking at the burner for a while as tears rolled down my face. There I was again right at the centre of scared, abandoned and left to rot."We have to leave now, Miss. I am so sorry but someone kind of recognised you when we were coming in here, and I think Jake's wolves will be here to pick you up any moment." Thomas said, sounding hesitant. It was apparent that he did not want to intrude on my pain but he also felt that it was necessary that I got the information.I nodded, trying to compose myself. "Thank you, Thomas. Let's go." I said, grabbi
