"What did… you just say?"I stammered, and she scoffed.
"I'm sure you're not deaf,"she said, glaring at me with a cold and dangerous look.
I know becoming a Luna or bethroned to the Alpha would be something very hard and difficult for me. I haven't become the Luna of the pack but I'm being hated by the maids.
I'm sure they're jealous even though they weren't aware that I'm not interested in becoming their Luna.
I wonder how my stay in this pack as Luna is going to be, because I've a weird feeling that I won't be able to escape from him. I just have to accept my fate.
"Hey,"I called.
"You'd better attend to the Alpha before he gets angry at you,"she said, ignoring my statement.
"Tell him that I wouldn't come and there's nothing he can do about it"I snapped at her angrily, but she didn't bother to look at me, instead she hissed and walked out of my room, slamming the door shut.
Ahh… I screamed out as I ruffled my hair angrily like a mad person. I clenched my fist with a cold look on my face.
What's up with the Alpha? Why does he want to see me? Why does he have to disturb me? I asked myself as though I would get an answer.
I don't know what he wants to do to me, right? Yes, I can't go to him. I don't know what he has in mind to do.
I shouldn't worry about him, I should be worried about my fate which might change as from tomorrow because of the so-called engagement rite that I'm supposed to have with Ryan.
I slumped hard on the bed with a loud thud. I looked at the ceiling as I wondered how my fate was going to change from tomorrow. Either I get married to Ryan or escape from the pack. One of them has to happen.
I snapped out of my thoughts as a knock resounded at the door. Who's it again? I asked myself with a frustrated look on my face.
"What is it?"I asked in a cold tone as I glared at the guard, who walked into my room.
"The Alpha wants to see you in his chamber now,"he said, and I scoffed.
"Tell him that I don't want to see him,"I growled at him.
"I don't think that's a decision you can make because he made it compulsory for you to come,"he said, and I looked at him with a confused look.
"Please gently and kindly follow me to his chamber,"he said, and I scoffed.
"Who told you that? I said that I don't want to see him,"I yelled at him.
"Since you refuse to obey then I would be forced to do it the other way,"he said, and I looked at him with an anxious look as he walked toward me with a stern look on his face.
"Leave alone, you son of a bitch,"I whined in pain as he gripped my arm firmly with his fingers, piercing into my skin. He dragged me away from the bed.
"Not until you choose to follow me obediently,"he said, and I shook my head with a sigh.
"Fine, leave me alone,"I snapped at him, and he released his grip from my hand.
I wonder why they act like their Alpha, Ryan. I'm not surprised, birds of the same feather flock together.

Getting to the Ryan room, I took a deep breath as he knocked at the door. "Come in,"my heart skipped in fear as I heard his cold voice from the inner room.
The courage I'd had for a few minutes seems to have vanished all of a sudden after hearing his voice alone. I wonder how I would be able to face him.
"You can go,"I looked up as I heard his voice. The guard nodded his head gently, walked out of the room and slammed the door shut.
I gulped down into nothing as I stared at Ryan, who was shirtless, exposing his broad chest and hard abs.
I think he's doing this intentionally. I can't deny the fact that he looks so handsome and breathtaking.
I blinked countlessly as my eyes traveled down to his big d**k which was beneath the black sweatpants he was putting on.
"You're pretty good at stealing glances at someone, right?"he asked, breaking the silence that engulfed the room for a while. I quickly looked away.
"What do you want?"I asked, ignoring his silly question.
"It was pretty hard to bring you to my chamber. I wonder why you're being stubborn,"
"You'd better give in and become my Luna willingly because you're going to be visiting my place regularly as my engaged Luna,"he said as he licked his lips in a seductive way. I felt my stupid heart racing as he winked at me.
"I'll never become your Luna,"I said confidently.
"I somehow love your confidence even though it's useless because we're getting engaged tomorrow.
"So do you still think you aren't going to be my Luna?"he asked but I decided not to answer him.
"It's better you accept fate and stop being unrealistic,"he said.
What is he trying to do? I moved backward in fear as he walked closer to me with a smirk on his face. I whined in pain as my back hit against the door which was made with marble stones.
My heart skipped in fear as he pulled me closer to him before I could run out of his room. My head slammed against his broad chest.
"Your lips look so sweet. You don't mind I've a taste of it, right?"he asked as he leaned closer to me.
I tried to pull away from his grasp but he dragged me back, forcefully kissing me. I closed my eyes tightly since I couldn't protest against him because he'd overpowered me.
I found myself slowly succumbing to the kiss as he deepened on the kiss, making me realize what I'm going to miss not kissing him back. But I stopped myself from kissing him back as I remembered how Jessica told me to stay away from him.
I stood stiffened until he pulled away from my lips. I didn't know I was holding my breath until he moved backward with a silly smile on his face.
I rushed out of his room, and thankfully he didn't stop me this time. Maybe because he'd done what he wanted to do.
"I'm sorry,"I muttered without looking up as I bumped into a young lady.
"Look at me, Aurelia,"I looked up as I heard my name. I looked at Lady Suzy with a surprised look as she pulled me into an abandoned and empty room, probably where we can talk alone.
"What is it?"I asked as I leaned on the wall behind me.
"I heard that tomorrow you're going to be engaged to Alpha Ryan,"she said, and I nodded my head gently.
"Please what can you do to help me?"I asked, staring at her face.
"I don't want to be engaged with him,"I muttered with my voice etched with sadness and pain.
"I understand that's why I've everything planned,"she said with a smile, and I looked up in an instant.
"Please what is it?"I asked, anticipating whatever plan she had.
"I'd finally reached Brian, and he made it known to me that he's going to arrive in the pack very soon. So you would run away with him while I pretend as you till I tie the knot with the Alpha,"she said, and I looked at her with a surprised look.
"Wow! Thank you very much,"I said happily that I didn't know when I hugged her.
"Who is there?"
I pulled away from the hug, and my heart skipped in fear as the door pulled open, revealing a guard, who narrowed his eyes at us.
What?
Hope he didn't hear what we just discussed.
Natalie "What are you doing here?"Lady Suzy asked, clearing the tension in the room. I gulped down into nothing as I stared at the guard, who glanced at us with an intense gaze. "Were you stalking us?"she asked, and he nodded his head affirmatively. "I don't have a choice, my lady,"he said, and my eyes widened in shock. What! He was stalking us? Does that mean he'd listened to my conversation with Lady Suzy? "Why would you just do such a thing? I'm going to make sure you get punished,"she threatened. "I was only following instructions that the Alpha gave to me,"he said, and I shook my head with a sigh. "I'd like you to return to your room,"he said as he turned his gaze to me. I snapped out of my thoughts, and looked at him with a cold look, trying to look strong. "You can't order me around. I can do whatever I want,"I said, glaring at him, and he scoffed. "It's the order of the Alpha so I'd like you to obey me,"he said as he stepped backward, gesturing to me to wal
Natalie "Wow! You look so pretty," "She look so dead drop gorgeous," "I'm sure the Alpha wouldn't be able to take his eyes from her," I wasn't surprised that the maids were slowly interacting with me. Maybe because they think I'm going to be the Luna tonight, and the Alpha wouldn't want anyone to abuse his Luna in any way. Not like I'm interested in the title. I shook my head with a sigh, trying my best to mask the sad expression that mounted on my face as I listened to the compliments from the maid. I should be happy hearing such compliments but I'm sad that I'm not getting engaged to the supposed man of my heart and dream, but a ruthless Alpha that I'm supposed to run away from. Though I try to act strong but I can't withhold the pain that stings my heart. It's really painful and sad to me. I snapped out of my thoughts as a loud bang landed at the door. My heart flew out for a second in fear. I tilted my head in confusion, same with the maids. "It's time already," "The
Natalie "Ahh…" My heart skipped in fear, and I screamed out in pain as my feet tripped over a log of wood. I let out a sigh of relief as I stared at Brian, who caught me by my waist firmly before I could fall. "You should be careful from now on. We still have a long way to go,"he said with a worried look on his face, and I nodded my head gently. "Thank you,"I muttered as I moved away from her grip. I clenched to the hem of my clothes, breathing heavily with my heart pounding heavily against its cage. "Please don't be tired. We still have a long way to go,"he said as he placed his hand on my forehead. I shook my head negatively with a sigh. "To be sincere with you, I'm really tired,"I said as I bent low, breathing heavily with my body drenched with sweat. We've been running for more than three hours, and we haven't gotten to where we're heading to. We couldn't use our wolf speed or form because it would make it easier for the Alpha to track our scents which isn't what I wa
Ryan "It's the time,"I said calmly as I stretched my hand at Aurelia, who was seated on the chair with a red wine veil pulled over her face. I let out a soft smile from my lips as she obediently held my hand. Her hand felt stronger than it used to feel. With our hands crooked, we both walked up to the priest, who's standing in front of a log of burning fire. He was chanting some incantation around the fire as he awaited our presence. "Please move this way,"the priest said, separating us from each other. We stood at the front of each other even though the burning fire was between us. "Please recite after me,"the priest said as he poured some substance like sand into the burning fire. "Ye moon goddess…"he called out, and I recited after him. I stared at Aurelia with a confused look as she recited after the priest without missing any single words, and she wasn't acting reluctant. What's wrong? I couldn't help but ask myself because of her sudden change of attitude which seems
Natalie "Hey, take this and put it on,"I felt a sting of pain in my heart as he dropped the wedding gown on the floor before me with a cold look on his face. "Why are you still staring at me? Or do you want me to put it on for you?"he asked in an angry tone even with a seductive smile, beaming on his face. I reached out to the white wedding gown on the floor, clenched it to my chest with a sad look on my face. Beads of tears rolled down from my eyes as I stared at wedding clothes in my hand. I never had thought that I'm still going to put on these clothes again. I'd thought I escaped from him, and I wouldn't get married to him but he caught me. Now I'm going to get married to the man that I'm supposed to run away from, a heartless and ruthless man. Why are you doing this to me, moon goddess? Why me? I questioned myself as I stared at the ceiling. "Can you… excuse me…"I shuttered, and he scoffed. "So that you can escape from the pack with the same guy, right?"he asked wit
Natalie I snapped out of my thoughts, looking up in an instant as a knock landed at the door. "Come in,"I muttered with a sigh as I ruffled my hair with a frustrated look even though I tried as much as possible to mask my expression. "What is it?"I asked with a cold and cracked voice as I stared at the maid in blue uniform, who walked in with a bow. "I'd come to ask what you would like to eat. Or do you want to have breakfast with the Alpha, my lady?"I glared at the maid, took a deep breath, trying my best to control my anger at the moment. I'm getting used to the so-called *my lady* greetings. I wish there's something I could do about it but it seems there isn't. I'm their Luna. As much as I don't want to be their Luna, I've been made the Luna, and there's nothing I can do about it because I'm tied to the Alpha. "No! I don't want anything. I don't want to eat with anyone,"I said, almost yelling. "But my lady…" "Get out,"I yelled out, and she flinched back in fear. She wal
Natalie What! I gasped out in shock, staring at her with a confused look as she threw hateful glares at me. "Why are you acting surprised? You lured me into helping so that you could claim him to yourself,"her voice suddenly trailed off, and took a deep breath as though she was waiting for me to speak. "What do you mean? I don't know what you're saying,"I stammered, staring at her with a glimpse of sad look on my face. "What was I expecting you to say? I wasn't aware that you're nothing but a filthy bitch that wants to be Luna at all cost,"she hissed, and spat on the floor, staring at me with a disdainful look. "Oh! You're Luna anyway. I should have known that you're only after him,"she said with her voice filled with anger and hatred. I know she's trying her best not to pounce on me, knowing Ryan is going to get angry at her. "I wasn't after him. I didn't know it was going to end this well… I don't know what I'd done to deserve this awful statement from you,"I said, tryi
Ryan"How have the market stock stats been so far this month?"I asked as I took a seat beside Mark, crossing my legs. I stared at his face like I was searching for something. "Our market stock has been increasing wonderfully even though…"he paused as his voice suddenly trailed off. He looked at my face, probably observing my countenance. "But what?"I asked, staring at him with a stern and cold look which he didn't fail to notice. "But the rival pack, Night Moon pack sales, has been increasing in such a way that I think there's more to it,"he said, and I scoffed. "Is this what you're supposed to tell me?"I asked, and slammed my fist with a cold look on my face. He flinched back in fear before regaining his composure. "You should look into the matter and give me report instead,""I need a report file in the next few hours concerning the issues. I know he's up to no good,"I snarled out as I glanced through the market stock stats for the Night Moon pack, which is surprisingly higher
