" What just happened?" Estelle asked, glaring straight at the Alpha who sat in the opposite side of the dining table. He only sighed without a word as he gently shredded quite a large amount of steak into bits." You should eat. Marianne said you haven't eaten at all today." Was what he only said as he passed the plate of neatly shredded steaks to her. She only stared away with a short scoff that made him look at her." You've always been angry these days for no reasons, Elle. What's wrong? Did..I do something?" He asked but she was silent again as she picked a fork and stabbed one of the shredded steaks." You haven't answered me. Why did you yell at her like that? You took her out and stopped me to follow you, what's happening?" She asked, her brows creased. He wasn't liking the air between them, they had just gotten married but it seemed like they were going to be having quarrels and silent airs between them which he didn't want." You know what?" Estelle spoke up, removing the
THE NEXT DAY » " We'll be going to the pack's orphanage today, Luna." Kelani announced for the nth time that Estelle rolled her eyes. Her maids were always making sure her duties for the day got stuck in her brain by their continuous repetition of what she had to do." Where's Antara?" Estelle asked when she noticed her head maid still hadn't came since a while after the others had." She's on her periods, Luna. She's being having real stomach pains so she said she'd be quite late today." Kelani answered almost immediately while Estelle only nodded." Sara, you should go to the kitchen to make sure if everything's complete. We can't keep leaving everything for Lady Marianne to do." Prisma said, her tone commanding that Kelani glared at her as always. She was the one with the most personality among them and Sara as the meek and gentle one could only nod and do as she said." You could have just gone yourself, you're always sending one or some other maids your own errands the whole ti
Estelle gently massaged her neck as she and her maids walked to the palace. She was stressed, really stressed as she was just returning from the pack's orphanage but to be honest, she was so very proud of River. The place wasn't even looking like what she'd expected, it looked more glamorous and a more better looking place for children unlike the ones she'd always seen before.Even the children looked extremely well taken care of. They had looked withdrawn and reluctant to her at first but with time and after she had played with them for a while, they had became free with her.Today was the day they normally received food specially from the Alpha and Luna. Prisma had said River and Marianne were usually the one to go to them before but since he had a Luna now, it was now her duty. She actually didn't mind, she enjoyed being with them. It gave her the familiar feels of being with her sister, the children reminded her of her Sunny." Luna, you should take a nap." Prisma suggested b
Estelle glared at Lair for the nth time and the man heaved even though he wasn't looking for her, he could very much feel her piercing glare on him but there was nothing he could do." Did River tell you not to let me out?" She asked him again and like he'd done before, he shook his head, indicating a no. " Then why aren't you letting me go out there? Are you serious right now? You really don't expect me to sit down here and watch an innocent girl being punished." She lashed.The Gamma heaved again. " I'm sorry."" I didn't fall. Don't tell me sorry." She snapped." See Luna, your status is changed now and you have to act and behave up to your status. The reason I'm saying all this is you might not know how to act in that court, it's not a friendly place at all. Because she's your maid doesn't mean you'll just go there and get her out, she made an invasion of the pack's privacy which has to be adequately taken care of by the councils and the Alpha himself. That's the reason you can
Estelle hissed, angrily removing the pins that held her hair away as she plonked down on the bed. Antara and the others knew how foul her mood was so they quietly did what they were to do before they made her take a bath." You all should leave." Estelle spoke up just in the middle of the bath. The maids shared glances before nodding and doing as they were told but not without Prisma throwing an accusing glare at Sara who sighed. The Alpha had ordered for her to be released just after Estelle's outbursts earlier in the court." Please, be careful, Luna." Antara said as they left while Estelle sighed out loud, dipping her body more deeper into the soap bubbles in the bathtub. The soothing fragrance of the lavender oil and flowers that were used for her bath seemed to be a very good soothing agent for the headache she was having at the moment.Recalling what had happened earlier, her lips curled gently. She couldn't believe she had spoken up like that in front of so many people. At
MORNING, NEXT DAY. Estelle turned and groaned slightly as her eyes slowly fluttered open. From the sunlight that was shining on her face, she could already guess she had woken up quite late today but she only sighed as she stood up. She was just about to get up from the bed but paused when the events of the previous evening and the words she had said slowly infiltrated back into her head and she hissed, biting her lips. She had said she wanted to see him sleep but silly her had snored off even without waiting for a short while. Well, what could she do? His chest were as comfortable as ever and it was like a sleeping pill too. She wondered how he must have laughed at her after seeing her sleep before him.She remembered laying on him as she slept but she still touched the other side of the bed if he might have shifted over there but it was cold. Cold like as if he was never even in the room and a bitter sigh escaped her lips again." He must have had something urgent to do." She mut
Naina sighed as she saw him walking away like a model with his usual and normal straight, rigid face and she hurried to catch up with him, pretending like she was just coincidentally passing by." Hey." She waved, grinning but Neil only glanced up once at her before turning his face away as he continued oh his tracks but Naina rushed to him. What a snob. She hissed inwardly as she stood before him.After a while with the both of them just staring at themselves, he finally spoke up with tweaked brows and with a very displeased stare. " What is it?" He asked and at that moment, Naina wondered why he was always looking so dissatisfied like he was not contented with life but she just heaved." I waved at you but you ignored me. I just wanted you to say something and you finally did." She replied, smiling but he still had that uncomfortable look on his face.He didn't like as she was standing before him. She was making his wolf jump and hiss at him for being stupid for ignoring her, t
The car slid down the road unhurriedly as ordered by the Alpha and soon, they stopped, getting out of the car with a grumpy Estelle mumbling inaudible words as she gathered her long gown as she came down from the car. The man only shook his head, in awe of her." Elle, do not freak out, okay?" River suddenly said and her frown deepened as she raised her brows. " Just don't freak out. We can't take the cars to the insides where we're supposed to go so we have to run over there." He added and she slowly nodded, getting what he meant but how was she going to run?She saw as the others waited behind as River dragged her slightly along into the bushy parts. She watched silently as he gave her an assuring look and in the next minute, he was shape-shifting. It was all fast and quick in Estelle's eyes as in the next minute, a familiar large, hige wolf was right in front of her, in place of River.It was huge and tall, really tall as it gazed at her.Even though she had seen it before, Est
