ARETI stood in front of the castle gates with Lincoln, Hawaii, and Ahana behind me as I bid each tween goodbye. Due to the monster issue and my injury, the training had to be cut short, which the girls were super happy about.“Luna,” I turned to see Venus giving me a small bow before joining Hawaii and the others. She looked sad, and I understand her, I mean, when my father died, I saw him in my dreams for almost three months before I moved on and cast him away.Juvene and her father stood in front of me giving me a slight bow, Juvene adjusted her hold on the little Duffel bag where her clothes had been neatly folded.“I'll miss you, Luna, and I hope your hand gets better.” I gave her a heartwarming smile, they didn't know the true incident that led to the injury. Juvene ran to Venus, pulling her into a tight hug.“Don't take Aria's words to heart, she can be annoying, but trust me, she's not that bad,” Juvene says convincingly, earning a nod and another hug from Venus.Juvene was su
~NOVA~I knotted my robe with a sigh. Today was Aret's birthday, and it has been a while since I saw her. I was about to leave my chambers when I bumped into a rock-hard chest. I let out a gasp, stumbling backward as I felt an arm pull me close, steadying me. “Nova,” I looked up to see Dwayne, staring at me with a soft smile. “Dwayne, it-it's been a while,” I mutter, pushing his arm from my waist gently yet swiftly. “I'll be off now, I have to” I was about to leave again when he grabbed onto my arm. “Nova, I haven't seen you for a while, i-i miss you.” My heart skipped a beat and I took a step forward, kissing him on his head. “It's Aret's birthday celebration this evening, I have to be there…. I promise, after this, I'll give you my time.” I say, squeezing his hand reassuringly. “I'm only letting you go because I also have to be beside Mobali.” He said with clenched fists and a slight pout. I giggled, shaking my head at his childishness. “Your highness?” I turned to the door
~ALYA~Aret Snow. The so-called future Supreme Luna Queen and the Alpha King's so-called mate. The times I was lucky to have been in the same room with her, I noticed a peculiar habit of hers. Whenever she was nervous, she'd visit the restroom and keep washing her hands, even at the town hall I had noticed it. It was her silly way of calming her nerves. A silly way that would lead to her end. ~ARET~ I exited the ballroom and walked into the restroom for the fifth time this night, I began washing my hands to calm my nerves. I look through the mirror to see Alya standing behind me with folded arms and a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Alya.” “Aret.” I frowned. “It's Luna Aret to you.” “My apologies, Luna.” She says with a smirk. “what do you want?” I asked, turning to face her while she dusted off imaginary dirt from her shoulders. “Oh, I haven't given you my gift yet…" She trailed on, I furrowed my brows in annoyance. She didn't really like me, and remember, she was
~ARET~ “What?” Mobali, Dwayne, Nova and I ask in unison. I almost forgot they were still in the ballroom. “There was a time when angels resided with the moon goddess, who is the creator of the Lycans and Werewolves.When she created these creatures, she gifted each of them with a guardian angel. The guardian angel was to protect them and relay their requests to the Moon Goddess.My real name is Khionevara, and I was one of the Moon Goddess' precious angels who was sent to earth as a guardian angel to the Beta of the Night wing tribe, a werewolf who lost his mate before she was even born.The Beta and I fell deeply in love, but there was no way we could be together, so I went to the moon goddess' feet and made a request for the moon goddess to let the US be together.Because I was one of the Moon Goddess' precious angels, she agreed but only one condition, I was going to become a fallen. I would lose my wings and still have my powers, but they would be more heightened, I would bear
~NOVA~I watched through the mirror as Yolanda placed the last hairpin on my head, placing her hand on my shoulder. “You look presentable, your highness.” I flashed her a cute smile, placing my hand on hers. 'Cute'I heard a feminine voice in my head and a giggle right after. 'Miss me? ''Nala! 'Nala was my wolf, she had been in hibernation more like mourning the loss of her parents for a while and now she was back. I looked back at my reflection to see Dwayne sitting on the bed, starting at Yolanda and me. “Leave us,” He ordered in a gruff tone, Yolanda bowing slightly and making her way to the door. “My beautiful mate.” He said, bringing his mouth to my neck and showing me with kisses, I giggled toppling over as we both landed on the soft carpet rug. 'Mate is hot' Nala purred in my head, making me roll my eyes. “It's been a while since I cuddled you like this,” He mumbled, hugging me closely with his head buried in the crook of my neck. “We've been busy serving the crown
~AIDAN~ “Again, remind me why you're here, Aidan.” I pouted, adjusting myself around the stool. Mayan-odette stared at me, even though she was blind, I still knew she could see me in some kind of way… She was gifted. “I have issues.” “And you can't go to the royal infirmary?” she asked with a raised brow, pulling my cheeks. “Aunt Maya, you know we will never let any other person treat us except from you… So save yourself the stress of asking not just me, but my siblings the same question over and over again, just hear us out and give a remedy.” I explained to her, she breathed out a sigh, dragging a stool towards where I sat and settled on it. “So, Prince Aidan, what's the matter?” She placed her hands on mine before touching my head. “I- I can't sleep, my wolf also, but it's not about my mate it-”“It has to do with a particular Luna, right?” My eyes widened as my heart began to thump faster. Was that why? Was it because of Aret? “Nothing gets past me, child.” I sigh heavil
~VENUS~I hummed while Aunt Aret braided my hair, we sat on the grass of the Supreme Luna Queen's gardens, taking in the scenery. “When we're you going to tell me?” She immediately stopped braiding, and I sat properly to face her. “What do you mean, Vee?” “I thought you said we were close, I tell you things, and you tell me.” I ranted, getting uo from the grass. The rays of the sun hit my face, making me move closer under the shade which the tall oak tree had created.She chuckled lowly, shaking her head, as if still oblivious to what I was talking about. “Honestly, Venus, Please elaborate.” “I heard, I heard you, Uncle Mobali and the others, you are an a…”“An Aryik.” Aunt Aret finished, her face had turned gloomy and her hands trembled.I reached out to hold her hand but pulled away in shock, a stinging sensation surrounding my hand. “I'm sorry, it's really hard to control.”“Kaerlia.”We turned to see Visanyos standing in front of the garden gate.“It's time for training,”
~. .~“It's Lorraine.” As it spread through the mind link, Aret and Venus ran towards Mayan-Odette's cottage, where sobs filled the surrounding.“It's the dark slumber poisoning.” Mayan-Odette diagnosed as she crushed some herbs together, moving into another room.Laurel rushed in minutes after Aret, staring at her little sister and mother, tears welled up in her eyes.Laurel was the least emotional of the twins; whenever something had happened, she would be the one to keep a hard face while Lorraine would be wailing and crying.She would always say, 'I stay strong because I know it will always be fine.' Now she stood next to Aret and her eyes reddened with tears threatening to spill.“W-what happened?” Aret asked, gnashing her teeth. She stared into Laurel's eyes, who immediately averted her gaze, then at Nova and Yolanda.“We couldn't find her at first, then we found her in one of the designing rooms, out cold.” Yolanda spoke up, not looking directly into Aret's eye
