ELISA "What? What's going on there, Elisa?" Lucians question sent fear coursing through me, making my knees tremble. I hastily got up, intending to retreat to the room I had come from earlier, a decision I now wished I hadn't made. But before I could get far, a strong arm wrapped around me, pulling me closer to a towering figure. "Oops, now stay calm, little one. We aren't going to hurt you," the large man assured me, his warm smile still on display. I turned my head away, overwhelmed by the situation. The pressure was suffocating, worsening the ache in my head. "L-let go of me..." I stammered weakly, but his grip on me only tightened. I attempted to free myself, but it was like trying to move a mountain. It was impossible. I sighed in defeat. "Wow! Seriously, what are you doing?" I flinched when a shout rang out, and I snapped out of my fearful trance. Depression settled in as I realized that the Cabrera family had always been known for their benevolence, never resorting to cr
My lips parted slowly as I looked at the former Luna of first district pack, Lucian's mother. What she said caught me by surprise.What?I close my mouth, swallowing the lump in my throat, before opening it again to finally speak.Because there's just no way that the person they've been talking about all this morning was me. Why me? I can't accept the fact that an important bond and marriage to a couple will be ruined just because of me. Just because of your arrival!Luna Esther looked away from me for a while, before letting out an exasperated sigh and massaging the bridge of her nose.She was immediately attended to by her husband who was next to her and calming her down. I looked away and started fiddling with my fingers.How dare I? Causing trouble for everyone...how dare I?"Eugene." My eyes automatically went back to Luna Esther when she called my name. His face was serious so I was a little nervous."Y-yes?""You are right, dear. The plan we came up with may not be right. But th
It's noon and I'm here now in the big kitchen of the mansion, where some maids are already preparing meals. And of course, since I'm not used to just fooling around all day, I also helped with the preparations. And because of that I also met the head maid of the mansion. Mrs. Smith. She's so kindhearted and a warm-hearted elderly woman. I like her already and I'm happy that I got along with her in just a short time. Because honestly, I'm not that comfortable about living here yet. For our lunch, we cooked fried chicken and grilled liempo because that's what Luna Marion wanted. And by the time we finished, I also helped serve the table. Actually, while I was helping and doing those things with the other maids, I could feel their gazes on me. And I also found out that the only omegas inside this mansion are me and Luna Marion. All of the housemaids are betas. Even Mrs. Smith is a beta herself. But that's not what bothers me the most. Just like I said, the other maids kept on glanci
When we finished in the garden, I immediately showered and cleaned my body. We ate breakfast and since I didn't have anyone else at the dining table, I just ate in the back of the kitchen with Anna. Because of that, I feel that the other housemaids feel a little better towards me. And it's so fun and feels good. After we put away the food, I have nothing else to do. So I just thought to go to my room and open the cell phone that Desmond gave me. And while on top of my bed, I started digging into my new gear. Before the cellphone, I just noticed that the top seal of the box was already open. I wasn't wrong in suspecting that someone had opened it, because when I saw the cellphone it had tempered glass and a white case. I smiled and immediately opened the gadget. This is my first time having my own cellphone, but I know how to use it and how it works because I've been playing with my parents' cellphone whenever I'm bored before. At first I often had a friend to text with. But when
Elisa's POV: My eyes snapped open, fear and sadness coursing through me. I gasped for breath, my chest heaving as tears streamed down my face. A small whimper escaped my lips as I curled into a ball on the bed. I had seen it again. The nightmare that haunted me, night after night. My parents, engulfed in flames, crawling toward me, calling my name as they burned. I watched, unable to move, unable to save them. I wanted to reach out to them, to feel their pain, to be with them in their final moments, but just as they were about to touch me, darkness engulfed everything. I knew it was a dream, a recurring torment, but that didn't make it any less terrifying. The fear and sadness overwhelmed me, and I trembled uncontrollably. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to find some comfort, but there was none to be had. I didn't want to experience that nightmare again, to see my parents in agony. I didn't want to relive that moment. The emotions consumed me, and I felt myself shifting i
The wedding went faster than I thought. It feels like I just blinked and then it's already over. It's just like I went to a simple party, or I really just don't feel like a wedding so I'm just saying this? Maybe both. Well, whatever. I just hope I look normal in some of the pictures they took of us. Normal? I wish. I was so nervous that I almost froze because of the other stares that people gave me. I feel like they are studying me well. I don't even have time to breathe. I can almost taste their disdain. They couldn't accept that Alpha Rowan married a nobody like me. For all they know it's all for a show. I tiredly sat on my bed with a sigh. It is evening and the sun has set. There was a bit of partying outside earlier, but now it's probably just Geno and Davina. Tito and Tita just returned home. I, this, have just changed clothes. Desmond and Luna Marion...yes, they are already in their room. Just got in too. Speaking of Luna Marion, I didn't see her around at the wedding cere
The pack's hunting session will start in two days. It's only been two days and I can't worry anymore because of that. I spent the earlier two days eating and sleeping all the time. Well, actually, up until now. But since it's so close, I don't know what I'm going to do anymore. "You better stick by my side, my wife. We don't know what beasts are residing in the forest," Lucian said. To be honest, it's very embarrassing when I get smothered. But at the time and while my heat was happening, I couldn't think about such things. Because all I wanted to do every time was to ease the pain. I wanted the pain to go away because it hurt so much that I felt like I was going to die and break. My heat started when I was 16. I refused to mate with someone at that time. Of course, Mom and Dad too. I'm not yet ready. But they always told me that if I changed my mind about that, I shouldn't be shy to tell them. But what can I say when I don't know anyone who can help me at times like that? So in
Lying in bed with the scent of Lucian, feels like a haven to me. I just lay in bed all day. I sometimes even shift into my wolf form to make myself more comfortable than ever. And I'm glad that no one planned to bother me. Yes, some come to my room, but that is to give me something to eat. I didn't even see them in my deep sleep and I didn't even hear them, maybe they did it on purpose. That's why I thought that right after my heat was over, I would apologize to them for the days I didn't act and also thank them very much. Until the last moment of my pre-heat, I thought about taking a suppressant so that if my heat starts later, it won't be so bad. I slowly got up from my bed and checked if I still had water on the bedside table. Unfortunately, it's gone, I have to go out to get it. I let out a small sigh and carried the pitcher and glass with me outside, towards the kitchen. I'll refill it full again, just in case I get thirsty. This will be a hell of a heat. I can feel it. Whil
