CHAPTER TWELVERIVERI was seated in the meeting room alongside the alpha of Black Moon Pack, Alpha Adrian, and his beta, William, as we discussed the pressing issue on the ground."The rising rate of rogue in our district is becoming alarming," I began. "If we do not take action immediately, we might end up losing all our soldiers and pack members.""And, they would begin to question our leadership," Alpha Adrian agreed with me.William, Adrian's beta, cleared his throat and began to speak. "I still do not understand the reason for this meeting," he stated. "Can you come out more clearly, so we would know what and what is involved."I stared at him in shock. I was sure I made mention of the reason for the meeting in the letter I sent inviting them over. That aside, he didn't have anything in his ear when I and his brother, the alpha of Black Moon Pack, just spoke about the issue. I cleared my throat and decided to follow him calmly."The rogue attack isn't a new thing to anyone in th

CHAPTER FOURTEEN ELARA I stood in front of the mirror admiring the lovely dress I had on. It had been stocked into my wardrobe by one of the maids. The door to the room opened, and I turned around to see River walking into the room. He was staring all over me. His mouth was wide open as he looked at me from head to toe. He was speechless for a while. "You look awesome!" He complimented me after staring at me for a while. My cheeks flushed red when I heard the compliment, and I tried to hide my smile. "Shall we?" He asked, stretching his hands towards me. I took River's hands, and we both began walking out of the house together. When we got outside, the onlooking servants began to murmur and smile as they stared at us together. I was sure they thought what we had was real. I ignored them and walked ahead with River to his car. He opened the car door, and I got in. All I wanted to do was to focus on this date for now and forget about it later. It meant

CHAPTER SIXTEENELARA We soon moved from the car park to the dining room. Alpha River, the beta, Harrison, Rochella, and I. The guards were still busy packing Rochella's stuff to her room. A banquet had been served at the dining room for all four of us. It didn't take long before our spoons began to make sounds as they hit against the plate. While we ate, Rochella began to talk. "I'm finally glad to be here again with you all," he said. "It hadn't been easy sharing the same world with mere mortals."I could guess that Rochella had been with humans. The way she spoke, it sounded like she didn't have a very good experience with them. Nevertheless, I kept still as she continued talking. "I wasn't sure at first how to fit in. I needed to hide my powers and stop myself from growing whenever I was angry. There were a lot of habits I had to drop because they seemed weird to the humans. Although, I dealt with those who bullied me at night because they wouldn't be able to tell what happened

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ELARAI and River jumped out of bed at the same pace. I knew that his sister was up to something, but I didn't know exactly what. My eyes quickly darted to Lisa, and the frown on my face deepened when I saw how she was ogling River. I moved close to River and held his arms. I knew that I wasn't being protective because I was falling for River. But because I didn't want the whole stay to end with things like, 'The new Luna got rejected just after a few weeks, she was made one.'It would be a very big slap on my face. "What is going on, Ella?" River asked his sister. "Uhm_" she scratched her head. "My friend didn't have where to sleep."Her response was amazing. River and I exchanged glances. And, before we could react to what she had just said, she continued speaking. "The other rooms already have some guests in them, and my room is too small to be shared. You know how much I hate sharing my bed."The excuse was so silly that I almost let out a scoff. So, what was she

CHAPTER TWENTY ELARAIt's been a week since Harrison had told me about the great alpha. And, since then, it seemed as though I have been the one preparing for it the most. I also learnt from Harrison that a few activities like Pack Run, Pack feast, stage performance, and a few others would be done during the ceremony. As the Luna, I took it upon myself to train dancers for the upcoming event. We had been training seriously, and I wasn't joking with any of the preparations. I was seated on a bench in the training ground. Harrison was seated by my side. After he gave me lectures about the event, we became quite close. River was always so busy, but Harrison was always available to keep me company, so I didn't usually feel all alone. I was grateful for his presence and his support. At least, I had someone by my side while River was away. We watched the dancers as they replayed what I had displayed for them earlier. Plus, there was a large projector in front of them. It also helped us wi
