~ARET~Grounded.The word echoes in my head as I bolt from the bed.The red marks on my wrists had all disappeared without a trace. I don't remember applying any remedy.Shoot.I forgot I was a werewolf, but then the pain wasn't supposed to just stop without applying an ointment.Was it all a dream? I wondered.I got up from my bed, rushing towards the huge brass doors. I sighed, holding the handle slightly, bending it but it didn't budge.I growled deeply, hitting my foot at the brass doors as hot tears poured down to my cheeks while I kept hitting it furiously.“No! No!” I cried out, running to my balcony which was already bolted shut.“Who does he think he is? Do I look like a child?” I say, pulling the locks of my platinum blonde hair.Reflect on your mistakes.I remember Mobali's words. “If the only way to get out of here is by respecting and obeying that bastard, then that is what ill do.”I can't survive out there in my state but I will build myself up and be strong enough both
~ARET~“Are you going to stay angry at me forever?” Hawaii asked, I was still settling into my new Office that I had been assigned to perform my duties as Luna and Supreme Luna Queen.“If possible, yes, yes I will,” I responded, picking out some files from the dark-colored desk.The Supreme Luna Office is as big as a quarter itself. The main entrance is the lounge or waiting room, then the inner is my office and a door leads to a bathroom and a little bedroom for rest.“Lun-”“Shh,” I say, bringing my finger to my lips and glaring at Hawaii, I stepped in front of the full-length mirror admiring my outfit. I was dressed in a yellow long-sleeved dress with white heels and a topaz-embedded tiara.“I'm truly sorry, you know that.” Hawaii explained while I stamped documents.“You are my lady-in-waiting, not the Alpha's, my orders should surpass his. Always.” I instructed as Hawaii nodded vigorously, making me smirk.“Yes, yes, I understand, and ill never make that mistake again.”“Good, No
~NOVA~ “Your highness,” I turned to see Yolanda leaning on the door frame with a smirk playing on her lps. I raised a brow, suspicious of what she might have done or what she was going to do. “What is it?” I ask, standing up from my office chair to pick a book from the shelves above my head. “Supreme Beta Dwayne requests that you join him for lunch.” My eyes snapped towards Yolanda's direction as she giggled. “I-i am busy, as you can see, and besides, I'm not interested in joining him for lunch.” I mutter, rolling my eyes in annoyance. Yolanda opened the door wider to reveal Dwayne standing with his hands in his pockets. “W-Dont tell me you were there the whole time,” I say, watching as Yolanda placed her hand over her mouth in an attempt to muffle her laughter. “I won’t tell you then,” Shit. I faked a laugh, hiding my face in embarrassment. “Excuse us,” I hear him say to Yolanda, who seemed to be extra glad to leave us alone. “Look, i don't know what you intend to do, bu
~LORRAINE~“Run! They are after us!” I held Laurel's hand as we ran deep into the forest, we could still hear the roars of the wolves a mile away.“Let's shift,” Laurel said as she tried to morph into her wolf form, but her bones didn't shift.“We cannot shift, we are too injure-”“Lorraine! Watch out!” Laurel shouted as a wolf slammed into us, sending us flying into the river.The thing was that we both couldn't swim. I struggled to keep my head above water, but the more I struggled, the fewer chances I had of surviving.I could feel the oxygen leave my lungs as I found myself sinking into the river with Laurel by my side.“Lorraine! Wake up! “ I coughed out water to see the Luna, my mom, Delta, and Laurel standing beside me.We were at the shore of the river, my hair was still damp from the water.“I-i thought I was going to die,” I say, sniffling.“No, you're okay, you're safe.”I jolt up from the bed, sweat dripping all over me. I look around to see unfamiliar curtains. I walk tow
~ARET~We all went outside to see carriages and horses waiting for our arrival. The carriages could only occupy four people, so four females each in the carriages while the males hopped on their horses.“Come on, Aret, let's go.” Nova and the other females called as I shivered in disgust. My last carriage ride was terrible, my heart was in my stomach throughout the ride.“No.” I say to them as confusion swirled on their faces. I walked to where all the supreme and their guards were getting on their horses as I went to Mobali.His horse was as dark as night with blue eyes as deep as the ocean, its mane so silky and soft in my palms.“What's its name?” I asked Mobali who felt reluctant to answer.“Midnight.”What a perfect name for his appearance.“I'd like to ride Midnight with you.” I say, watching as he raised his eyebrow.“What?”“I dislike carriages, I prefer horses.” I tell him, earning a scoff from him.“No.”“It's either you, or my head guard, Lincoln.” I pointed at Lincoln star
~NOVA~“Wait!” Aret yelled, making the guards release the maid as she crawled towards Aret.“I remember! There was something wrong with my hairpin, so I had the maid help me sneak it out to fix it.” Aret explains taking the hairpin from Hawaii.“See? Somewhere around here.” she says, pointing at the supposed dent in the hairpin.'Help me out here, play along.' Aret says through the mind link. I furrow my brows confused.'Why save her?' I asked'ill explain later, just please.'I walked closer, rubbing my chin. “Yes, I remember you telling me that there was a dent in your hairpin and this maid knew a goldsmith who could fix it.”Are nodded, helping the maid up.“I'm sorry everyone, but she's not a thief.” Aret shouts, motioning to Hawaii to help her lift the maid up.“Everyone, dismiss and return to your stations!” I ordered everyone to disperse, the Supreme Leaders also walked out.“Hun,” Dwayne called out to me.“Let's go?”“No, i'll see you later, i want to help Aret.” I say to him,
~DWAYNE~“Ya!” I yelled running after mobali, he threw a punch in which I dodge throwing mine.He slid down, hitting my leg in the process and pushing me down.“Yield.” He said with a smirk as I raised my hand in surrender.“I wasn't putting up a fight.”He pulled me up as we walked into the Archery grounds. The guard handed us our signature bows and arrows.“Aret seems to be getting a hang of the Supreme Luna Position, she's a natural leader.” Mobali says, making me scoff in response.“Of course that's what you would say, it's all a facade. And You know what would have really helped her?” I asked him as he raised an eyebrow.“What's that?”“If her mate would just accept her and make her feel that comfort.” I say, making Mobali scrunch his nose in disgust.“Hell No.”“You see? Don't tell me you don't also want to have her in your arms or even underneath you, don't tell me you don't fantasize about her.” I retorted.“Okay, I won’t tell you.” He replied, taking his stance in front of th
~ARET~I got to the front door of the meeting hall and there were guards stationed in front.“Luna,” They greeted with a slight bow of their heads, which I acknowledged. Behind the closed doors, I could hear their chatter and muffled voices.“Come on, Go in, You seemed to have a lot of confidence when you were strutting down the hallway.” Mobali whispered in my ear, making me shiver.I did have confidence.But I was scared that they would judge me.“We don't have all day Aret.” I sighed, nodding to the guards as they pushed the doors open, revealing the council members.I gulped, standing frozen. I felt a warm hand on my waist, pulling me close to him as we walked to the table.“Play along,” He says through gritted teeth, making me force a smile.I looked across the table, The council members consisted of some Tribe elders and all the supreme leaders. Nova sat beside Dwayne, she avoided my gaze, making me bite my lip in anger, drawing blood.“Stop that.” Mobali growled lowly, grippin
