Alisa’s offer to be my tour guide filled granny with pleasure and filled me with dread. Before I could object again, Alisa clamped her arm around my arm and said way too sweetly“Come on now Daciana, let’s go.”I knew that at this point if I refused, grandma might consider me rude. So I put on a fake confident smile and stepped out of the room with Alisa.As soon as we got out of my room, I smiled a meek smile at her, hoping her feelings towards me had changed. All it did was incite a laugh from her. And so the tour began.We went from room to room, and Alisa was a surprisingly good tour guide. Even going as far as to give me the backstory for some of the artifacts and impressive rooms we passed.But I was too wary to probably enjoy the tour. I knew Alisa didn’t like me so I spent the better half of the tour worrying about why she volunteered to be my tour guide and what exactly she had planned.But as time went on and she didn’t pull any nasty surprises I actually started to enjoy my
I smelt the shadow before I saw it coming towards me. It smelt like rotten eggs and full sewages. It took all I had not to gag as my heightened senses were flooded with the nasty smell.I saw the black shadow looming ahead of me, come closer and my heart started racing. I knew I had to keep calm so I could think and act clearly.The shadow got nearer and nearer. The closer he got, the more I tried to prepare myself for the inevitable.When the shadow finally came into view, it was a wolf.The slight bolt of relief I felt upon discovering it was a wolf soon vanished as the wolf came into full view.It was very massive. Big in the way only powerful wolfs could be. Its fur was black like obsidian and it was covered in wounds. Small cuts, open sores, and badly healed scars. It looked absolutely terrifying.I wondered if it was a rogue wolf, which had gotten lost or barely survived a fight. But when I looked into its piercing golden eyes, there was nothing human in that gaze. No it was pu
I looked at Arnou in blatant surprise. I had not yet agreed to be his Luna, so to be invited to the meeting was a privilege.“Why do you want me to attend the meeting?” I asked surprisingly.”“That’s because I might need you to describe what happened in detail. That way we can create a detailed plan according to your description.” Arnou replied.“Oh alright.” I replied.We all left my room and moved towards the meeting room Alisa had showed me earlier during the tour.I was bone tired and I still felt a dull pain where my flesh tried to knit itself, but I put on a brave face and followed them into the meeting room, limping a bit.Some officials, several of whom I had met earlier in the day, were already waiting for us in the meeting room. Herley was also in the meeting room, I schooled my face not to show shock. Now I understand what Alisa meant when she said Herley was greatly valued by Arnou. I mean in my former court, females were not allowed to attend such high ranking meetings
New chapter 12I watched Alisa get up from the sofa and stomp towards me. I swear this bitch was obsessed with me.I couldn’t think of a single thing I could have done to make her furious.I made a quiet resolve to simply ignore her and go straight to my room.Alisa started yelling before she got close to me.“You stupid girl, who exactly do you think you are?”I’m a very tired woman who just wants some sleep but I kept my response to myself.I walked past her trying my best to get to my room, but Alisa was not having it.She pulled me back by my arm and spun me around to face her. “Let go of my arm, I’m not interested in your drama.” I said with irritation as I pulled my arm back.“Oh please stop acting like you’re all innocent. Only a coward like you would go behind my back instead of confronting me.” Alisa said crying with anger.“Okay its official this woman has lost it”My wolf said in anger. She was tired and annoyed; I mean there’s only so much harassment a she-wolf can take i
Chapter 13I looked up at Herley in mild confusion, but I dropped the pastry. I stretched out my hand to pick up a donut but she stopped me again.“Not that one, it’s prepared specially for Arnou.” I scoffed in annoyance but I kept my hands to myself. Arnou noticed our strange exchange and looked curiously at Herley.“Herley, what exactly would happen if someone else eats from the pastry that was prepared for me?”Herley blushed a bit and said.“Nothing exactly but it was prepared for you.”“Well since it’s mine. I’ve decided Daciana can have from the pastry if she wants.” Arnou said with a small smile.I flashed Herley a triumphant smile and picked up the initial pastry I had selected.I looked around Arnou’s office and noticed how sparse the decoration was. He had no personal items in his office and the décor was mostly beige.I stared around while eating my pastry.“Do you like it?” Arnou asked me curiously.Honestly I wasn’t a fan of moody colors but I wasn’t about to tell Arnou
I held the tray that contained enough food for Daciana, Alisa, and I.I knew what Alisa’s preference was but I had no idea what Daciana would like to eat.I had watched her at breakfast, she seemed to like all the food served well enough. As I approached our table, I had to avoid been constantly stopped by the pack members that wanted to congratulate me on finding my fated mate.I knew Daciana was hungry, and I wanted to serve her the food while it was still hot. The scene I beheld at the table made me pause for a full minute. Alisa and Herley were engaged in a passionate conversation, laughing with joy and all. That wasn’t a strange sight, for some reason Alisa and Herley had always been close.No, what made my heart rent was Daciana. She sat there trying to include herself in the conversation politely but was ignored constantly.I would have to tell Alisa to be kinder to Daciana. I mean the woman had left everything familiar to her behind, and followed me across territories tryin
Daciana’s POVI paused and looked at Arnou in surprise. He asked me to bring out my wolf to play with him. I’m a little bit confused though and I’m not sure if this offer was given to me as a friend or as a mate.“Arnou, are you giving me this offer as a mate or a friend? I asked him nervously.“The offer can mean whatever you want.” He replied softly with his hands still cupped around my face.Eva was beside herself with excitement, she was practically itching to come out and play.“Come on Daciana, you know we like him. His wolf is probably sexy. Just say yesss. Please.”“Shut up Eva.” I growled out in embarrassment.Arnou chuckled a bit.“Your wolf?” He asked in amusement.“Yeah, she’s excited about coming out to play.” I replied, smiling a bit as my cheeks burned hot red.“And are you?” Arnou asked me with a slightly nervous expression on his face. “Just a little bit.” I replied jokingly as I emphasized how little with my thumb and index finger.My joke broke the tense atmosphere
Oh my gosh Arnou and I were kissing. I could hardly believe it, I loved the feel of his lips on my own.I loved the way we moved together in sync and when his tongue touched my own I felt weak in the knees. Arnou and I were still kissing when we heard someone cough.Arnou and I jumped apart in surprise and saw Herley stood looking at us with a stricken expression.Herley ran up to Arnou and grabbed his arm, wrenching it with force away from me.“Arnou! Come on there’s an emergency. Granny fainted, we need your help, please hurry.” Herley cried out as she gestured for Arnou to follow her.Arnou hurriedly followed her and as they walked briskly ahead of me.I ran quickly after them, I know I saw Herley before and I’m very sure she was spying on Arnou and I.The three of us burst out of the woods behind the office, and Arnou raced ahead of us to find out exactly what was going on.As Herley wanted to run after him, I held on to her arm and pulled her back.“Come back here you scheming wi
