RICKYSince I got back to the palace, the new maid assign to the Luna call Rosette has always looked at me with suspicious gaze and sometimes it felt like she was flirting with me, I try to wave it off as much as possible, because I was back for Laura and she had my full attention. But tonight when she handed the cup of tea to me, there was a smirk on her lips, which felt like one of victory. Laura jerked up from her seat the moment I brought to her notice that this was poisoned and hurried to my side. “Ricky how can you tell a poison drink?”“The blue stain you see was caused by it, I have witnessed the use of such poison before as what it does is to damage the heart and lungs completely.”“Not again, I did not think that someone will try to poison me again after the last time.”“The last time? What are you talking about, has someone try to poison you in this palace before?”“Yes and it was all thanks to your betrothed Melo, she had no choice but to take her own life.”“We are goi

KILLIANMy servant arrived in my room earlier the next day and once I was through having a good scrub, the servants set out a white robe for me and once I had dressed up, I stood before the long mirror in my room. The robe was white silk with some designs made with beadings around it edge, my hair was well washed, flow through my shoulder while my eyes were piercing at the mirror ready to overcome whatever challenges I might face today. The council of the pack comprises of five elders from five most powerful Lycan families, they serve as a council to keep the Lycan king in check and as soon as I arrived back from the war, the news immediately got to them. I occupied the large arm chair at the center of the hall, they all heard their gaze glued to me and once they were certain that I had settled down, one of the elders got on his feet to speak and just then, Laura stepped in. She wore a long sequin gown, that was floor length, her beauty radiating throughout the hall as she stepped

RICKYI asked to see Rosette in my room and even while I sat on a stool and she stood outside and knock, I could feel the excitement in her voice with each pounding of her heart beat. “Come in!” I ordered after she knocked twice, she twisted the door knob and stepped in, a silky smirk on her face while she bit her lips seductively. “You called for me?”“Yes! I have a few questions to ask and an order, Why did you accepted Lucio's request that day when he asked you to serve the Luna chamomile tea, it was not a routine for either the both of you and yet you went ahead, why was that?”“Because his idea felt good to me, the Luna was stressed lately, or should I say since you came back to the pack, it been difficult for her to sleep and when he finally came up with the idea, I could not reject”“And you want me to believe that you were not aware of the substance in it or perhaps were you given a huge amount of money?”“Is this why you sent for me, to accuse me of poisoning the Luna?”“Yo

LAURAAfter the encounter that I had with Lucio, the night felt like a nightmare to me, thinking that I might get strangled with each attempt to shut my eyes. I was clouded with fear by the nightmares that I had, the thought of not knowing what kind of attempt will be made against my life, sent more fear down my spine. Hurriedly, I slipped in top around the sleveless night gown that I had on and hurried outside, but was startled to see Ricky standing at the door. “Ricky! What are you doing here?”“My job, isn't that obvious that I am protecting you”“But you are not on duty tonight, why are you here?”“The festival is tomorrow, there are so many people that may try to harm you and we do not know yet on how they intend to do it, so for now I have to be alert”“I see….”“What about you, why are you out here, it's late and you should be having a good sleep”“I think that I have been having sleeping anxiety lately, I am sorry but I need someone to keep me company and I can't seem to fi

Rosette and the designer immediately got on their feet as soon as I stepped in, they need not to be told that I was filled with rage. “You! Come with me! ” I pointed at the designer and she followed behind, once we were both alone inside, my hand smacked on her face pretty hard. “How dare you make such a hideous dress for me, are you trying to disgrace me in front of all our guest!!” I roared and she immediately went on her knees. “I swear my Luna….this was not my doing, the dress was in a good shape when I made it, but when I was called to see it, I could barely recognise the dress that I made, there was no hole in it when handed it over to your servant, all the apprentice at my place can bear witness”“Get on your feet!” I ordered seeing how much she was trembling on the floor, she slowly rose to her after but avoided eye contact with me. “The deed has been done, and the true intentions of those behind it, is that I do not attend today's festival, but I am the Luna and I must be
