“Hello, Ms. Elena Swan. I am Ira Blossom” said a beautiful blonde girl while standing next to Luke.
‘She is a bit too close to be just a pack member, she must be a close friend’ I thought while looking at the almost invisible distance between the two.
Alice, on the other hand, moved away from her in the fraction of seconds and stood next to me making it obvious that she doesn’t like her that much.
Even the real late bloomer, Lily also observed that.
She smiled at Luke who didn’t show any emotion on his handsome face.
He then turned towards me with his signature expressionless face.
“She is the daughter of my father’s beta” Luke said coldly without even glancing at her.
“Pardon me. Let me introduce myself again. Hello, my name is Ira Blossom, daughter of Beta, Ethan Blossom. It’s an honor to meet you, Ms. Elena Swan, the future Luna” Ira corrected in a more elegant form but anyone could tell that she was a bit hurt by their cold behavior.
I don’t blame her. I mean who wouldn’t be hurt by such behavior.
“No need to be so formal, Ira. Just call me Elena” I replied with a casual smile.
“Oh, Okay” replied Ira with a shy smile.
“And this is my best friend, Lily irritating Williams” I said pointing towards Lily.
“Thank you for kind words, Miss. Swan. Really appreciated!” said Lily with a sarcastic smile.
“Glad you liked it!” I replied with a wide grin.
“Nice to meet you, Miss. Williams” said Ira elegantly.
“As El said, ‘No need to be formal’. Just call me Lily. Very nice to meet you too” replied Lily in a polite tone.
After meeting Ira, a series of thoughts and questions started popping up in my head,
‘Why was she being so formal? And why did he introduce her like that? What kind of problem, a sweetheart like Alice could have with her? The way she smiled and stood comfortably next to him, they must be friends. But who introduced their friends like that? How Rude!
I mean Lily is also my father’s Beta’s daughter but I never introduced her as one. She was always my best friend for me even in introduction with the other clans. Why all of them are so formal? He even introduced his best friend, Nicholas, as his Beta.
Why everyone from Moonshine is so weird?’
‘I like Alice the best!’ I thought smiling at Alice.
All of a sudden, Ira’s gentle voice dragged me out of my trains of thoughts,
“You have a very nice place” Ira replied smiling while observing the place.
“Thank you. Did you like your room?” I asked politely.
“Didn’t get to see it yet” She replied looking down with shy smile.
“Oh! No problem, Lily will show you your room” I said giving sign to Lily but she was not ready to leave Luke’s side.
“Move Lily and come to my room right after it” I said giving her the look which clearly said, ‘I am not taking no for an answer’
“Alright, your highness” she replied looking at me with narrowed eyes and a fake broad smile showing her pearl white teeth.
‘Which toothpaste she uses again?’
“Please come to this side” She said smiling politely at Ira.
Ira looked briefly at Alice then Luke, none of them were paying attention towards her. She then looked at me and I gave her a small smile. After smiling back at me, she left with Lily.
“I will get some water for you” I said and stormed downstairs to the kitchen without giving a millisecond to Smith sibling for questioning me.
During Midnight in Elena’s room,
“Knock Knock” said Lily while knocking on my door.
“Who’s there?” I asked in a straight voice even when I already knew who it was.
“The secret keeper” said Lily with a small chuckle.
“Come inside then” I replied casually and she opened the door while giggling.
“I told you to meet me right after you show Ira her room, it is past midnight” I said while folding my hands to my chest and giving her judgy looks.
“I know, your highness, but I was busy helping lost people showing their room. I tried to sneak million times but one or the other guest caught me” said Lily in frustration.
“Looks like someone had a tiring day” I said while adjusting the pillow and sitting comfortably on my bed.
“You have no idea! They are behaving like they are lost in a deserted island! I am tired of showing those people their rooms and fake smiling at everyone. My jaw hurts” said Lily while holding her chin in annoyance.
“Same here. Mine also hurts” I said massaging my own jawline.
“So, why did you come inside so soon?” asked Lily in an investigative tone.
“I wasn’t feeling quite well” I lied looking away from her.
A clear white lie! It was written on my face.
“Oh really?” asked Lily while raising her left eyebrow.
“That Ira girl is sweet” I said trying to change the topic.
“Yeah. She is too sweet to be true! Everything she says is perfectly coated with sugar, honey and maple syrup. She is a damn weird one” said Lily in an irritated tone.
Lily just hate fake people. She is like a people detector. She is ‘LILY detector’ who detects fake people.
“Stop doubting everyone from their pack. I know we can’t trust them all yet, but we shouldn’t make it obvious” I replied in a calm tone.
“I only like Alice and Luke. They seem real” said Lily after thinking for a small while.
“I also like Alice the best but I couldn’t say the same about the latter” I said without showing much expression on my face.
“And why is that? Are you not the best judge of the characters?” asked Lily knowing my abilities for the same area as hers.
That’s why we are best friends. We judge people together!
“I don’t know yet” I said in a serious tone.
It wasn’t a complete lie as I just met him for the first time, I don’t know him entirely yet.
“Shall we stop beating around the bushes and come to the point?” She asked in a demanding tone.
“What do you mean? I don’t understand!” I asked in an innocent tone like I am the most pure person to walk on planet.
‘I am an angel!’
“I am not three year old anymore, Elena!” said Lily narrowing her eyes at me.
“Oh, so finally you realized! Congratulations!” I shouted while clapping my hands like a child who has seen Santa Claus in front of her.
“Not enough to make me forget the topic. So again, why were you so uncomfortable earlier? What really happened, Elena?” asked Lily in worried tone.
“Nothing much! I just found out that Luke is my mate” I spoke in a casual tone.
“Okay, then no problem. I thought something extremely bad happened to…” she said with relieving expressions but stopped in the middle of her statement, when her unpunctual mind finally decided to translate my sentence to her.
“Wait a minute! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?”
“Okay, then no problem. I thought something really bad happened to…” Lily said with relieving expressions but stopped in the middle of her statement, when her unpunctual mind finally decided to translate my sentence to her.“Wait a minute! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?” she shouted in shock.“Stop shouting! Keep your pretty little mouth shut! Do you want our entire pack to know that? Why are you always ready to make an announcement about me?” I asked keeping my palm on her mouth.“He is your mate?” she asked in a whisper after removing my hand from her mouth.“Yes. When he saved me from falling, our body touched and then those sparks, you know the rest” I said in a frustrated tone.The uncontrollably romantic Lily didn’t pay attention to any of the details except for one.“Ooo, he saved you from falling, how romantic! How does it feel to be in his muscular arms?” S
“WHAT??” she asked in utter astonishment. “You heard me, ‘I will ask him to reject me’. I am not interested in him at all. I only love my handsome wolf mate. Unlike Luke, he is such a gentleman. I will wait for him” I said smiling while thinking about my dear wolf. Blood drained from Lily’s face when she heard my reply for the second time, with worried expressions she stated, “You can’t just force him to reject you!” “Try me” I said replied in a challenging tone and the corner of my mouth twitched into a smirk. “Did you forget the fact that he must also agree to reject you? You can’t do it yourself!” Lily replied in frustration. ‘Why is she so frustrated? I know everything’ I thought before replying confidently, “I know. I don’t think he is that much interested in me either. I guess we have mutual feelings about it” “How do you know that? Have you seen ‘You’?” she asked while pointing towards me, referring to the fact h
“Sister Elena, are you hurt?” asked Alice in an anxious tone.Luke tried to remove his hand but before he could remove it completely, another pair of hands held Elena’s arm and help her to stand on her feet gently. The helping hand was none other than her dear best friend, Liam. In response, Luke groaned and took a couple of steps back.“Yeah. I just lost balance” She replied awkwardly.“It’s okay, no need to be embarrassed. I lost balance all the time. I am the Queen of clumsiness” said Alice with a soft chuckle and continued after turning towards her brother,“Good Job brother”“Hmm” replied Luke with his signature emotionless face.“I told you, you don’t need to help me with those stupid boxes. I can do it myself” said Liam worriedly while taking the box from her hand and keeping it on the floor.Before Elena could reply, an always enraged cro
“Okay, so let the fun begin!” said Lily while spinning the bottle and everyone screamed.“Wooahhhh!”Right now, Elena was sitting opposite to Christopher, Liam opposite to Alice, Lily to Luke, Ira to Mateo.The bottle pointed towards Alice first and Liam was the one sitting opposite to her. Everyone started screaming and clapping.“I suggested the game, I did not know I will be the first victim” said Alice covering her face with embarrassment.“Okay Alice. Truth or Dare?” asked Liam in a playful tone.“As I am the first one, I will go with Truth. Please go easy on me” said Alice with a nervous smile.“Okay, who do you like the most in our clan?” asked Liam in a curious tone.After hearing the question, the tensed muscle on Alice’s face lightened up.“This is the easiest question. You are so kind” Alice complimented Liam for hi
“What the hell!” said Mateo angrily. He was still unsure that what he heard was right.But to confirm it further, Liam got from his place agitated.“What did you just say?” asked Liam, he was the first one to get up and move towards Luke to break his mouth so that won’t be able to utter any nonsense about Elena again but Elena stopped him by holding his hand.Luke eyes went from Liam to his hand and finally to their intertwined fingers. A loud groan of disapproval left his mouth.Followed by Liam, Mateo and others got up to attack the person who insulted their Luna but Elena and Lily stopped them on time.‘Merge wasn’t a really nice idea, was it?’ thought Lily.“Don’t be mean, brother. Who are you to judge? She will take care of her own things. You don’t need to meddle in her business” said Alice in an enraged tone.“You are being too much, Luke”
“The guy you like, is it Liam?” He asked in an enraged tone.His face was not emotionless as it is all the time, it was filled with anger and there was this crazy murderous expression on his face.“It’s none of your damn business” said Elena harshly while moving from his side.Suddenly, Luke’s giant hands held Elena’s arm and pushed her on the wall trapping her between the wall and his body.“What are you doing?” asked Elena angrily, trying to release herself from his grip.“Answer me when I am being nice. Do you like Liam?” asked Luke literally gritting his teeth in fury.“You are not getting any answer out of me if you act like a complete jerk! Stop acting like my boyfriend!” said Elena still trying to remove his hands but his hold was too strong.‘What does he eat, Iron? He is way too strong!’ thought Elena in irritation.“You can’t deny ba
‘What was that? How can she be so damn powerful? She is not a complete werewolf yet, right? Is she hiding something? She is unbelievably strong for a normal person! But she is not a normal at all. She can’t be!’ Luke started to question himself after getting hit by his unchanged mate.Even when he let his guards down, he has blood of an Alpha inside his veins and he is still really powerful. Even the strongest soldier needs their time to adjust with Luke’s strength.Forget about newbies, when he practiced with other well-trained fighters of their pack, in spite of going easy on them they still need a lot of power to even move his hand, Nicholas is the only exception who could stand against him in a fight for a while. But this unchanged girl pushed him like a punching bag at the opposite corner without using much power.‘Is it because she is also a pure blood? Maybe this happened because I was not paying attention towards her, isn&rs
“You are such a fool! That means he likes you and he is interested in you” said Lily in confidence, she couldn’t believe how Elena can be this stupid.“What rubbish! There you go again with your story telling. Try your authorship quality somewhere else, stop wasting it on me!” shouted Elena in frustration.Being her persistent self, Lily was not ready to give up this time. She was sure that things are real, it was not her only imagination. She has to explain her theory to Elena before she makes a foolish decision which she will regret her whole life.“Don’t be dumb, El! He likes you! Admitting it or not is completely your choice. Don’t you think, he was jealous after you confessed that you like someone else. Also, looking at how close you and Liam were today, he thought the guy you like is Liam, anyone can mistake Liam for your fantasy mate as you guys are so close. I observed him today. He groaned in anger every s
