Amarantha's POV"W-what?!" I asked with wide eyes.Aruna just gave me a devilish smirk and crossed her arms on her chest. "What? Do you prefer to be killed right after you help him?" She rolled her eyes at me. "Even if you don't tell me the truth, darling, I always know. Everyone knows that I know. Right from the moment you laid your eyes on mine..." she whispered to me.I didn't realize that she was already close to me. She cupped my chin and stared right into my eyes. Her pair of orbs became bright red.At that point, I thought that someone moved me. But when I examined myself, I was still there. It was just a feeling. It felt like someone nudged me a bit. It was as if my soul had been shaken.I hugged myself instantly. I heard Aruna laughing and faced Iram.Iram stood there closer to us and darted his angry eyes at the rogue witch. "If you think I would agree to this, think again! That human is mine. You can ask me anything but not her soul," he refused.I blinked at his words. Was
Amarantha's POVA couple of days passed ever since my official release from 'my' prison, Iram's chamber. I was officially introduced to his pack members as his future Luna.I was introduced as Amarantha Randall, a daughter of a former Alpha from the East Isle Pack. I was told to memorize some of the important notes about this fictional she-wolf they wanted me to be. I was obedient enough to do that before the official introduction, but as I got to meet the ladies in the pack, I started to like my fictional character. I started to like the fact of having friends."Oh, future Luna. I didn't know that you are exceptionally beautiful! Are eastern she-wolves also look like us? You know... white and 'blondey'! Are they?" Meredith asked me. She is the mate of one of the generals in Iram's pack. She is a bit round but still beautiful with her red hair curled and ponytailed neatly behind her.She was overly describing my physique at that moment. I couldn't decide what to think. Was she doing t
Amarantha's POV"S-sleep with him?" I blinked my eyes thrice after hearing those words from Iñigo.Was he making fun of me? How could someone like me, a human, be sleeping with someone like him, a werewolf? Was he nuts?!Iram just looked away and didn't comment any further.Looking back at Iñigo, he pretty much seemed too amused at how this meeting went. He was mocking me! He hid away his attempt to chuckle so loudly and faced me across the table. "No, Amarantha. What I mean is that our king must not sleep out from now on," he expounded.With that, I faintly sighed in relief and nodded. "Alright. I believe that he would choose a wise decision since it's his idea that we all came into this plan."*****After that meeting, I decided to go back to Iram's chamber and asked the chambermaids to slip me into a different dress. When I got out of the chamber, I gasped loudly when I hit something solid on my way out. I even touched it using both of my hands.As I looked up, I saw Iram's serious
Amarantha's POVI shuddered.I quickly hid my necklace inside my fist and returned my gaze to her. "N-no. It's not for sale. This is important for me..." I eagerly said to her.But instead of arguing, I heard the old woman laugh at me. Then, her face changed.I jumped in fear as I recognize the face.It was Aruna.She signaled me to stay silent and smiled at me. "You can only see this, human..." she informed me."W-why are you here?""I just want to warn you. Do not attempt to lose the necklace. The moment you do it, your soul will be mine quickly. Understood?"I widened my eyes and quickly nodded. "Y-yes. Understood.""Good. Now, go. You may keep that locket. I might as well just alter this old hag's memories. Go!" she hissed at me.I obliged her words and quickly ran away from that place. I never attempted to look back again.I came back to the palace. I went on to continue my journey inside Prima Tierra. I knew that the whole day wouldn't suffice for a tour around but I still used
Amarantha's POVI woke up to the commotion surrounding me. It was inaudible but I could sense that there were men arguing in front of me.I adjusted my sight and squinted a little as the sunlight hit my face. I groaned and held my temple. "Aw, my head!" I protested to myself.Then, I saw another guy. I didn't recall knowing him but his face seemed familiar. He must be one of the council members. His face showed worry. When I looked at him intently, he just smiled in relief. "Thank goodness you're awake! How are you feeling, Luna?" he had asked me.I arched my brow at him. I was still scanning the whole place. I was inside Iram's chamber. When I wandered my eyes, I couldn't find him. It was only me and another guy. I was still busy massaging my temples. "Where's everybody? Who were you talking to?""Oh, I think you just heard the Alpha King earlier. Should I call him for you?" He was about to leave the room but I stopped him."No! Wait!" I said. "W-what did you say earlier?""I said I
Iram's POVI balled my fists when memories started to enter my mind. Gritting my teeth in silence.I wanted something out of my chest. I wanted this feeling to go away, but I couldn't. I didn't know how.What was I thinking back then? Why did I kiss her?"You know why, Iram!" Ultor growled at me. I could feel his fiery eyes dart in my direction. "You are just a fool to deny it!"I dropped the sword that I was holding. It clanked on the dry ground where thick dust wafted with the motion. I could see my reflection there. The scar that was given to me by the Moon Goddess herself and the odd guilt that was trying to penetrate my face.I came here inside my training room as soon as I left my chamber. I let Gamma Omnibus take care of that human after that incident.I was completely out of my mind to even feel an ounce of guilt after I strangled her. I shouldn't be feeling this way. Heck, I even picked her up from the ground after terrorizing her. I even kissed her!"She's not our luna. She'
Amarantha's POVEverything on this day was surreal.The omegas were extra thoughtful to me while they help me take a bath and put on my wedding dress. Wearing such a heavy and expensive gown meant that this was no ordinary wedding.I've seen a few wedding feast gatherings before the war. I only knew a few couples who would dance around the fire as they celebrate their bond. Nothing extravagant. It was as simple as that. But that wasn't the reason I kept on watching them. It was when I saw how the couples looked at each other. It made me dream of love at that moment.But now that I'm about to be in it, suddenly, it felt lonesome than admiring.It wasn't because I was expecting a lovely dance. It wasn't because of the expensive food being served. It was because I couldn't have someone who would look at me lovingly the same way those couples exchange for themselves.I'm about to get married to someone who couldn't even reciprocate love to me. I'm going to be tied to a cold and ruthless A
Amarantha's POVI couldn't remember if I was still breathing.The moment he collapsed in front of me became the most frightening nightmare I had ever had."Iram!" I shouted. My tears brimming from my eyes.I watched my mate fall while gripping his chest desperately. He was in trouble breathing.I was too stunned. I couldn't even move. But when I saw his hand stretched out to me, that was when I was well aware of my surroundings.This was not a dream.I quickly sat beside him. "Iram! Please... please, stay with me..." I pleaded while I made sure he lay flat on the floor. "What should I do?""I-I..." Iram's pair of gray pupils started to move fast. Beads of sweat got the best out of him but his skin was too cold. It was like he was ice himself."Y-you're too cold... What's happening? Please, tell me what to do..." I cried. I didn't know what else to do. I felt so useless. Seeing him being taken out of his life hurts like hell. I didn't want him to feel this way. I should do something!T
