ARGON
Everything is falling apart. I'm losing everything I worked for.The following day, after the horrible meeting with the council members, the councils made a public announcement to on a live broadcast, labeling me as unfit for the throne.They publicly exposed all my secret doings on Brielle, broadcasting far and near, telling them how horrible I was.I was filled bitterness when I saw this at around seven in the morning. Jerome had called me out of my room to come and see the news.The councils didn't spare me. They made sure every station took up the news, so that other packs would be aware of the changes made in Wolf Crest."He is now on probation, and would be given his position back, if he proves himself worthy to the one in charge of his destiny. For now, he is no longer the Alpha. Wolf Crest has no Alpha," They announced.Shame engulfed my whole body system, leaving me trembling in my seat. I couldn't even mBRIELLE"Washing? This is the one chores that I hate. We Ivys don't do works like this. Soon, you'll stop all these and give those helpers to do it," Bane complained while I washed my clothes.But I just laughed it off, finding this small work not a big deal for me."I'm used to it already. And besides, these are my own clothes. I can't allow anyone else to touch it, especially at this time. I don't trust anyone," I said, revealing my distrust for everyone in the mansion."Yeah, everyone except for Tania. I can sense her presence. She should be entering here right about...""Luna!" Tania called from the entrance of the washroom.When I turned back at the door, I saw how she zoomed in without control."Luna I have... AHH!""Tania!" I exclaimed at the speed she used in diving in.Her leg had slipped on the wet floor, sending her meeting the wall. I had to cover my mouth at the sudden impact."Are
ARGONAll I asked from Estelle was some time, but she began to throw a tantrum, thinking I want to dump her for good."Don't you love me any more? I thought our love was strong?!" She cried, pacing around the room with her hands covering her face.I didn't know what else to say to her. She was just making a fuss over nothing, and it was getting on my nerves."Estelle, can you just stop this.""Stop?" She dropped her hands down to face me. Her eyes all red from too much crying, as she asked, stepping closer to me, " You want me to stop? Argon, you're telling me to do something I can never do! I love you so much, I really want to see us together, but you're talking about a break?""ESTELLE?!" I roared, causing her to gasp in fear.She's getting on my nerves!With all that's happening, she's busy thinking about love instead of how I'll get my position back. What is wrong with her?"Are you not on this planet?! Can't you see what I'm going through?!" I questioned, yelling at her.She star
ARGONThey came, just like they promised.I stood at the door of my office as the agent from the business award organization, came and demanded for the trophy."It has to go, " The agent said, motioning his hand at me to bring the award.With a heavy heart and shame, I signalled Jerome to do the needful. "Give it to him, " I said, trying my best not to look at my workers, who were staring at me and mumbling secretly.Jerome brought the award forward, giving it to the agent, who immediately took it and left without saying any other word to me.I took one last look at that trophy that was taken from me. My sweat, my treasure... It's all gone."Don't worry, Alpha. You'll get it back one day. They will have no choice but to bring it back to you, " Jerome assured me.All I could do was hum, hiding my deep feeling with a strong face out."Well, it's not a big deal. Let's resume with work. You all, get back to work, " I ordered, showing my dominance.But with all that was happening, my worke
ESTELLEToday is my sweetheart's birthday.I can never forget his special day.Knowing how troubled my love must be, I decided I was going to plan something special to take away all his stress."It's going to be like old times. I'll make him forget all his problems, " I sighed, cuddling myself in bed with Argon's photo in my hand.It was the morning already and I needed to make plans for my darling Argon.I am set to do anything to bring him out of this dullness.Getting out of bed, I hurried into my bathroom and got myself ready. I immediately raced out of my room and into the living room, looking for my father.I wanted his help in making Argon's day special, but he wasn't home. One of the guards informed me that he left for the office already. But it wasn't a big deal.Besides, I've been planning Argon's day without him before. "I can handle it on my own. All I need to do is sit and think of the perfect surprise for him. But what can I do?"I hummed, thinking of something differen
ARGONI didn't expect Brielle to take this celebration seriously, but she marveled me.I woke up to see my servants following her around to make arrangements for my day. All I did was watch from above the stairs, as she gave orders, sending each servants to handle different tasks."Get fresh apples and you get the flour set. Tania, you'll assist me in the kitchen," She ordered, heading for the kitchen while the servants went to carry out their work.All what she was doing, left me feeling strange at Brielle's new side. I just couldn't look away from her point."It seems you got to speak to her, " Jerome said, standing next to me.I had sensed his presence close but didn't bother turning to look until he was standing beside me."How did you do it? Was it a long conversation or a short one? " He asked, curiously.I just swayed my head at Jerome, answering his question, "We didn't have a proper conversation.""Really? Then... How did you get her to organize all these? I thought you warne
ESTELLE"You poisoned this drink!" I stood my ground.I know what I had seen in the kitchen while looking for Argon, and I know I am not imagining things.Argon has been avoiding me since the party started. He refused to give me an answer to my questions.I ended up roaming around the mansion, looking for him. That's when I spotted Brielle in the kitchen, staring at two glasses and a wine in her hand.I would have just walked away and ignored her, but the sight of this wine held me in my track.The wine she was holding was Argon's favorite. That made me realize that she was actually planning to pour a drink for herself and Argon.Raged with the fact that she stole my moment of spending this day with Argon, I wanted to storm into the kitchen and put her in her place, only for me to see her pulling out a small bottle containing a green substance, and turning it into one of the glasses.I was stunned!I ha
BRIELLE"What's wrong with her?" Tania asked, standing next to me, right behind a pillar.I watched Estelle racing out of the mansion with speed. Her face filled with tears, trying to hide it away from the servants.But even if she tries to hide it, I've already seen and heard the argument between her and Argon."She called us mad? No problem, we'll see who the crazy one is very soon, " Bane chuckled in her deep voice, bringing satisfaction to my heart.She said she saw me placing poison in Argon's drink. But how can she prove it when I drank both drinks before her and Argon?But still... She wasn't wrong.Indeed I poisoned Argon's drink to achieve my goal. Like Argon said, killing two birds with one stone. That was my actual goal.I had seen how Estelle was moving about like a maniac, trying to sniff Argon out from his hiding place.I could already sense his presence at the terrace, so I decided to cook up a nice scheme. One that should favor me greatly.With the poison made with my
ESTELLE"Why won't you tell me what happened at Argon's place? Speak to me, dear," Father pleaded, sitting right next to me.I laid in bed, crying my eyes out. I was too hurt to tell my father what occurred, because I don't want him marching down to Argon's home and causing a scene.Daddy loves me. He can't bear to see his little princess shedding tears. But this princess can't bear to see her father fighting with her prince.He carefully pulled me up to sit by his side, wrapping his arms around me with care."Tell me, did that wretched woman harm you? Did Argon say anything to hurt your feelings?" He asked, sounding vexed.I swayed my head and said to father, "It was just a small issue.""Small issue, like what? " He asked, showing his desperation in the situation.Sniffing once again, I answered my father, giving him a different response just to hide the main answer. "Argon wants a break from our relationship. He wants an alone time to himself," I shared, revealing Argon's decision.
