I remained on my stand, seeing Hash fade from my sight. He promised to be back, still aiming to claim me as his. Deep within, his claim for me was just the same as the way Mark did. It didn't have any spark, unlike when Hadar claimed me as his; I was on cloud nine."Tell me if it's true…." I faced Hadar, standing at the top of the stairs in front of the pack mansion. He was emotionless, and I couldn't tell if he was genuine or just wanted his brother to disappear. "...I don't want it every time you act like that, but it's just nothing for you."He sighed, placing his hand on his side pockets. "It is nothing. I just don't want you to be with that idiot. He's an enemy." The excitement that filled my heart faded when he said that. I thought it was genuine, but he kept Nila, and I waited for his claim. Still, nothing ended."I considered my brother as an enemy. And if I've seen you with him, then you're an enemy too, including your damn family…."He was back again with his cryptic words;
I am wearing the gorgeous dress owned by Hera, but Alpha decided it, not me. They once told me it was Hera's favorite, but I didn't understand Alpha for doing this. It was as clear as water that he didn't want me but Hera. On my hand was a masquerade mask. I requested to conceal myself from others knowing me. Not just my Alpha father I didn't want to meet there, but our other allies who knew me as a Luna. I didn't want this night to be the time my real identity would be revealed. It must be hidden."Ready yourself. The Alpha is out from his study, dressed. He's ready to go," announced Marga as she entered our room. "Well, it's too late to decline. I won't recommend you to escape. I'm afraid you'll meet your death in the woods."I nodded and wouldn't want to experience the same thing that happened in the past. "I'll put all my trust in him. Whatever happens to me, he will be blamed."Marga forced a smile, embraced me for a second, and let me out of the room. On my way to the living ro
'My Luna is not a slut!' Those were the words that kept echoing in my ears, even until now when Alpha Hadar pulled my hands out from the crowd. These got the attention of everyone, but lucky enough, Hadar arrived on time before I fought those girls, blaming me for things I hadn't even done. "Alpha, stop! Where are we heading exactly?!" I was hella confused as we headed toward the woods without Beta Andrew. "The gathering isn't done yet. Why are we leaving?" "I don't stay at an event where idiots can't respect you!" He yelled, despite me being too close. Even if he would whisper it, I could hear it. "Do you think I will stay there after you are humiliated?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe. You're an Alpha and supposed to stay there. Besides, I am only your slave for your care." I felt uncomfortable with her words. He stopped walking and faced me. "I know, but I have already introduced you as mine. I will be bashed if I don't care for you, stupid!" He looked behind the dark wood
I was accompanied by Lori and Marga, heading into the Alpha's study voluntarily without waiting for the guards to bring me there. The Alpha was already in front, while the elder was also standing by my side, brought by the two guards who informed him about this matter. I apologized to the elder as if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't be included in this mess. I regretted going there and didn't anticipate this to come. As I blinked twice, Alpha Hadar and Beta Andrew were already standing, eyeing me and the elder. “Alpha….” The elder began, bowing, and continued, “I can't understand why my presence is needed here. I believe I haven't disobeyed your rules.” Alpha Hadar laughed and even clapped his hands. “You haven't, huh?” He looked at Beta Andrew and nodded. “Someone informed me that you and Nyla have been in your house. You even lock your door. What for? Is there something in between you, huh?” I blinked twice and didn't like the tone of Hadar's voice. Instead of the elder would resp
“I have pack guards, so I guess it will be fine.” I forced a smile. I didn't want Lori, even Marga, to be on pins and needles. The pack guards that accompanied me were the most robust and most trusted guards of the Alpha. And for sure, they wouldn't let me get in trouble. I said goodbye to them while the pack guards led the way into the nearest town. A town near the East Pack was used only for trade for each pack surrounding the town. Most of the vendors lived there from different packs. On our way there, pack guards only talked about their lives, but I remained silent. I didn't want either to be the topic of their conversation. In a few minutes, we reached the town and entered the warehouse where all the supplies were stored. I tasked the guards to check all the supplies while I was sitting in the owner's office to communicate the price we would pay. It took a minute before the owner arrived. Still, as she arrived with her assistant, I was astounded to discover she was very fa
After roaming around the Alpha Hash pack, I concluded it was depressing. The other pack members I had met seemed to be communicating with me with their eyes, wanting me to leave, which meant they didn't want me to suffer from the trouble Hash would create. It was way more stunning inside the pack mansion than Alpha Hadar nor our pack, but again, it was very bizarre. Everyone around me acted very carefully and tried not to come closer to us. Maybe Hash had already notified them about my visit and didn't want them all to mess with me around. Speaking of Hash, he was at my side, standing beside the sofa in the living room. He smiled when our eyes met. “So, what can you tell me about my pack?” He asked again. “Cool. I mean, it's amazing.” It was a lie. How I wished I could tell him the truth.He chuckled and signaled me to come with him as we walked into the side. “Oh, it's already twelve. Let's have lunch first.”At the dining table, a lot of food was already prepared. “So you plan f
Alpha Hadar requested them all to give us privacy to talk inside the room. I was astounded he wasn't like that before, and at the same time, thankful I had seen changes in him just because of that accident.“My brother Hash is a fool,” Alpha Hadar began while he sat on the edge of the bed. I didn't know what to respond to, so I was silent.“Despite him being my brother, it wouldn't be an excuse for me not to punish that idiot!” His voice was raised a little while his jaw tightened in his wrath. “I know you didn't know how I saved you. You're unconscious at that time, but I attacked him. He got weakened, but I'm sure it wouldn't make him die.”I blushed. He was indeed a hero who saved me from all the circumstances. But I was oblivious to our status. “Alpha…I am curious. Why are you all doing this if you keep on hating me?” I questioned out of my curiosity. He chuckled and looked at the ceiling. “You don't get it, don't you?” My brows furrowed, trying to understand every single deta
Problem closed. Everyone was aware I wasn't pregnant. I hadn't had sex with anyone, not even Alpha Hadar. It was ridiculous. Elder Rico thought something like that, but I couldn't blame him either. As concerned as Hadar, he had let me rest inside the unused room upstairs, a supposed room for visitors, but he allowed me to occupy it instead. Since I was also tired and wanted to calm down after those scenes appeared again, I slept, but another scene from the past appeared in the middle of my sleep. It reminded me how that familiar woman, now confirmed to be Hera, kept on running in the woods, shouting for help until it reached the scene where someone had stabbed her to death.“Help! Someone help me! Please, please stop, and don't kill me!”Those were the words I heard until I opened my eyes. Sunlight was hitting my face, so I had to cover my hand. “Hera, you're not killed in the war…you're murdered!” I said while biting my lower lips. I figured it might be one of the reasons Hera wa
