IVY’S POV
My heart is pummeling so fast and hard. My body hair is tingling. I move from the bed and check my wardrobe, hurling my clothes from the hanger to the floor. I still can’t find my money.My feet is cold and there is this unexplained snap in my heart. I still can’t understand what is happening. How is this even possible? My life savings gone like that without a clue.I wobble with my eyes rolling from one uncertain point to the other. “No.. no..” i fall on the floor with a heavy thud. Tears rolls out from my eyes and mixes with my sweat. I clench my fist and drag my hair. I pick up the empty piggy bank on the bed and stare at it. It’s still empty.“How… how is this even possible?” I wail under my breath and squeeze my eyes. The dust on the floor gums with my skin. I send down heavy saliva and free my grasp from the piggy bank. It falls on the floor and so does my head. I relax my head on the floor and just allow tears escape by the sides of my eyes.This is beyond me. I do not even have the energy to cry anymore. My whole world has just crumbled. I seriously do not have a purpose in life. Life has just been so cruel to me. What is my crime in life? Is this a curse? All I want to do is be my own person and have a peaceful life. but even that is taken away from me.“You are so unfair…” I sigh and close my eyes. On flipping it open, I open another gate of fresh tears. “ just take my life and let me be”. “Just get it done with already” i roar and stare at the ceiling. My whole body is quivering and I’m numb as well. Quite an unexplainable situation I am in.“Why!!!!?”Firstly, I don’t even have a face. I can’t call this a face. A scar isn’t enough punishment I guess. Also immense hatred from my mom and that wasn’t enough. It moves to me not even having a mate and now the only thing i have as hope is gone.I Immediately sprout form the floor and rush to my mirror. My breathing is heavy, pushing my chest out and in. My teeth clasp firmly on each other. “Ahhjjjj” I break and bang my head on the mirror. It shatters and scatters on the floor. I don’t stop and keep going till it all pours on the floor.Blood rushes down but I don’t care as that’s what I want. I just want to die. I don’t want to heal. I pick a blade beside my drawer. I slit my wrist. “Just take my life!!!!! Just kill me!!!” I scream at the top of my voice.I go over the process of cutting my wrist over and over and over again. Blood keeps gushing, but it is healing back. “Fuck!!!” I growl and increase in speed. Sabrina is wailing as I continue hurting myself and her. “Stop!!!” She screams in my head.The faster I am cutting myself, the faster I am healing. “You won’t even allow me die? What else do you want from me, haven’t you taken enough and made me miserable enough??” I stagger and land on the ground. The blade in my hand falls away as I cry out. I press my eyes hard as tears continue to flush out.There is a knock on the door. Before I can turn towards the door, the door opens. It’s my mom. Her eyes falls on me. She contracts her brows for a second and broadens them back. I am still breathing heavily. She excuses her gaze away from me and moves further. She looks the damage in my room. Her sight returns back to me. She ogles at me and the huffs. Her left chin pulls a little and a smirk surfaces.“When you are down being stupid, you know what to do. Useless!” she shakes her head and walks away without locking the door. My eyes remain at the entrance of the door. I am numb and as usual I’m more amazed at how my mother detest me more and more each passing day.I close my eyes and just weep silently.***“Bye daisy”.I wave.It’s the evening of the same day. I’m on my way back home, after biding Daisy, my best friend goodbye. Yes, I do not have friends, but daisy is the only one friend I have. You’d meet her some other time.I stroll on the streets, my head decks a little down. My breathing is slow but weighty. Is like I’m just an empty vessel, strolling on the streets and just wallowing and waiting when the stupid thing I’m living that’s called a life is snapped out from me. I had thought that maybe being eighteen comes with some special feelings but it’s clear it’s all an illusion. The older you get, the more useless and unhappy you are.“I’m happy that Asher really won the alpha duel. I can not imagine what Warlock would have done.” A fellow wearing a white shirt and pants says.“Yeah, very true. Warlock is just a ruthless beast. Having him as an alpha will just ruin our pack and the whole region. Such terror he’d inflict in the whole region” another fellow standing beside the first says. I halt in movement, my eyes still facing forward. “She is my Luna” this heart wrecking voice comes back live in my head. A line of tears streams out my left eye.My body is dead, but I have no other option but to leave. I walk away with a more shattered heart and soul.Finally, I have reached my home after short and uncertain strides back home. After crying about my lost money, I had to go out to clear my head. Daisy is the only person that understands me. Maybe because she doesn’t speak, she gives me the opportunity to pour my whole heart.My eyes remain static at the gate. I have double mind of even entering the house. I dust my dress and wipe the sweat on my forehead. I bite my lower lips in contempt. “Phew” I sigh and walk into the house.I have no other option. My eyes fall on two pack members. They look at me in disgust as usual. I am without my mask so it’s even more normal.I head straight to my room since it’s evening time. “Miss Ugly fool!” This enters my ears. Instantly, I cease my movement. I think I know who it is. I turn slowly and yes, it’s Taika.I frown and watch her as she walks slowly towards me. Her black gown, shifting from one side to the other as she walks in evil majesty. My heart falls down to my stomach because I know what I am about to face. Taika never has anything good to say.She is now in front of me, her eyes directly pinning into mine. I remain calm and tired. “Can you not greet anymore, ugly duckling?” She spits.“Good evening, Taika” I say with a slight bow to avoid any clash. “What is this nonsense? Is that how you greet the Luna of the silver moon pack? Foolish duck!” She roars with her eyes bulging out. I wince and truly I’m confuse of what she wants.“Sorry. Good evening, Luna Taika”I bow more and with more decorum. She looks at me and shakes her head angrily. “You fool, greet me as the Queen I am!!” She grabs my neck and brings me to my feet. I crash on the floor, my knees hitting tightly the ground. My lips touch her feet as I wasn’t expecting the pull.I close my eyes and hold back my tears. It’s funny how someone I am older than treats me as a dog. Her birthday is tomorrow.“Now greet me!!!” She snaps. I close my eyes and lick my lips.“Good evening, Taika, Luna of the silver moon pack” I exhale, my lips shaking. “That’s more like it”I stand up from floor and then turn to leave. “Did I tell you I’m done with you?” She holds me back with her words. I turn back and look at her.“Your eyes down!!” She bawls and I quickly push my sight downwards.“I’d be leaving tomorrow for Asher’s Crowning ceremony and mine as well. I’d be taking you along as my personal servant”My head shakes. These words brings my sense back to life. “What!!?” I quiz with eyes broad. I don’t think I can stay under one roof with Taika and Asher and watch them together.“I know you only do not have a face, don’t tell me you do not have ears as well”she whines. She walks away wagging her head in disgust. I watch her as she diminishes. No, I can’t go with her to the silver moon pack. I need to come up with a plan. I think it’s time for me to pay the ultimate price…ASHER’S POVWarlock still pierces his eyes on me. His gaze is heavy and I know he is Not here for peace. His round big eyes shows disgust. He clips his lips together and muscles his cheeks. He takes a more bolder step towards me, facing me directly in the face. I remain static and we both gawk at each other. There is a dead silence in the whole room. The only thing I hear I s heartbeats.“Congratulations, Brother” he smiles and offers a hand shake. My eyes quirks for a second. The murmuring erupts back again. “I know we haven’t been best of brothers, but I’m sorry for wanting to take what is yours, brother” he adds.I look at his hand with my eyes a little tightened. I look back at him and again down to his hand. “ what do you think you are doing, Son?” Luna Matilda’s voice pricks. Warlock and I turn at the same time at her. Her face is scowled and contorted. “Mom, it’s all over. We are the ones at the wrong.” He folds his hands facing her. “Please just allow me make things right th
IVY’S POV“ I surely have to leave” I whisper under my breath as I pack my stuffs. It’s afternoon of the next day. I can never allow myself to be a servant to Taika. I’d rather die running away than be her slave. I have nothing but just 100 rubbees. With that, I’d pay for my transportation. Catering for myself after that is not my problem for now. I just want to leave this place as the bad energy is too weighing.I drag my photo and place it on top of my already folded clothes. I inhale and sigh heavily. My plan is to leave in the night of today. Today is Asher’s Alpha ceremony.Everyone’s attention will be diverted to that since Taika is his Luna I’m sure they’d be attending the ceremony. Anytime I think of it, it rends my heart. It seems this unclear rejection from Asher has broken Sabrina because she rarely speaks to me of lately. I zip my bag and and hurl it to the left side of my bed. I grab the sides of my waist with my hands and sigh deliberately with my eyes shut. I really ca
ASHER’S POVMy bulge gets more stronger and harder as I look at Taika’s endowment.“Why did you say no?” She inquires with her eyes broadened. She gets up from the bed and walks towards me. Her breast shaking and vibrating like water on every step she made. I swipe my eyes away from it and focus it back on her. “Nothing. Just feel a little tired” I push in this excuse. The truth is I feel quite nonchalant about making out with her. I don’t understand why, but I just feel so. Damian is also in cohort with me on this.“Tired? This is our wedding night, Asher” she places her hand on my shoulders, intertwine her fingers behind. Her eyes are very brightened and encaging. I sigh and her lips keeps luring me towards an uncertain direction. “I know, but then lets do this some other time.” I shrug and try to break myself way from her grasp. I hold her hand and raise it up to enable me escape.“Asher” she calls and holds my hand as I walk pass her. Her hand is even more softer than earlier. H
TAIKA’S POV“Fuck!!” I grab the bedsheets and broaden my chest. My whole body is vibrating. I pick up one of the pillows which is right beside me and throw it. It falls inches away from the bed.I really needed to make Asher to fuck me and also mark me. It’s really important it happens very soon but he just had to fucking leave for a goddamn reason I don’t even know. I relax my butt back on the bed and shake my head in disappointment. I have managed to get married to the one person I have loved since I knew he would become the alpha of the silver moon pack. I look at my dangling tits and it infuriates me the more. I snatch my shirt which is down on the floor and wear it. I stand up from the bed and pick my pants. I wear it angrily, fuming with rage. “He just had to fucking leave now!!” I drag my hair and grind my teeth. Anyways, I think I am going to use this opportunity to kill another bird. I am going to see Penelope. We have a lot to discuss because I am finding this a little ta
IVY’S POV“It’s time to go” I whisper to myself in my dark room. I had attended the crowning ceremony and marriage ceremony of Asher and Taika. Asher didn’t stop staring at me, or rather I’d say I didn’t stop staring at him. He isn’t my mate, but I don’t know why I feel this connection with him. I don’t even know what it is, but there is a connection. I had to slip away when he continued looking at me. Seeing him with Taika broke my heart more and more than it is already broken. I was with my mask so at least he didn’t see my scary face. I rushed out of the gathering back here because I noticed Taika realized he was looking towards my direction. I don’t want any more complications with her. Everybody is at the ceremony and just a few pack members are left home and unfortunately my mom as well is home. I have to leave tonight. I don’t care that I don’t have money, but any way is a way. I have already packed my bag the last time so I’m just waiting for the best time to scram. It’s now
ASHER’S POV“Who are you?” I ask, standing right behind someone. I had left the massacre scene, strolling around to see if maybe I’d find something that can lead me to who is doing this brutalization. I picked a scent and followed it. It led me straight here even though it was really hard to catch who has It.“I said who are you?” I snarl again and move further. The person remains mute, backing me. I’m at alert, watching his or her every move. I don’t know if it’s a male or female. The person slowly turns and my eyes falls on her. Yes, it’s a she now. I can’t quite clearly get her face, but from her physique, I’m quite certain it’s a girl. “For the last fucking time, Who are you!?” I pressure more and take a step closer, the rustling leaves making a sharp ear itching sound.She moves backwards and bends down abruptly. She flips the log on the ground at me. I’m not really expecting it. It’s directed to my face, but I use my fast reflexes to dodge it. She has something in her hand as
Taika’s POV I return home late in he night after visiting Penelope. I tip toe into the room. My heart beats hard because I know Asher might know that I’m back.I grab the door and push it slowly. My eyes is closed and one prayer point of mine is that the door shouldn’t creak. It seems the moon goddess is in alignment with me this time because the door doesn’t squeak. I clamp my teeth together and make the first step into the house. I sniffle but I don’t get a scent. I raise my brows and free my muscles.I waltz into the room more bold. I place my hand on the bed, there is nobody. “Asher” I call but there is no response. “Fuck” I cuss and wag my head. I sit on the bed and place my forehead in my hands. And where can he be at this time of the night?I ponder on my main threat, Ivy. My plan was just to kill her if not that Penelope had told me some weeks back that I need her or else the spell on Asher is not going to work.I recline on the bed and close my eyes. How the hell am I going t
IVY’S POV“Oh goodness..” I sigh and place my hand on my chest. My Heart is pounding so loud and hard. “Who are you!?” Asher had growled at me, clenching his hand on my throat. He had already given me the beaten of my life, smashing me from one trunk to the other like some worthless fly.I had raised my head slowly and with the little strength remaining in me, I pushed and scratched him from his neck to his right shoulder. That distracted him for a second. It gave the the opportunity to hit the road.I propelled myself with the last strength left in me and jumped. I landed on the ground and hit the road. I forgot to pick up my bag. Regrettably, I forgot my mask as well. He chased after me, but before he could get himself to chase after me, I have already given him some distance. I wasn’t running straightforwardly. Thanks to the moon goddess, I found a bush to hide inside. He ran pass me but didn’t know I was there.I hid there till I was sure that he wasn’t chasing after me anymore
