My mouth hung open, lacking what to say as she came to a stop in front of me. She was staring at me in a way that made my throat bob, and I just couldn’t help but hold tighter onto the stylists’ hands like it was my life bag.

Actually even if I was given a year, I don't think I could ever be prepared to meet her.

She’s wearing a black dress with short sleeves that leaves her arms bare, the fabric stopping just above her knee and just enough to turn heads without even trying.

She’s got the kind of beauty I envy but it’s the way she looks at me that gets me. No smile or expression, she just stood there looking at me like she’s trying to figure me out without saying a word and that made me want to run into a hole.

“Alethea right?” She asked, unexpectedly breaking the silence and that was when I noticed my arms were down and the women beside were no longer there. Obviously, they fled the instant she opened her mouth and I wished they had taken me with them.

“Y…Yes.” I rushed out abse

    TWENTY FIVE My sister’s mouth hung open, stunned by Zelda’s guts but my chest rose in anger and I found myself seething. Done taking her nonsense, I was prepared to retort when a voice came suddenly from behind us. “Did I hear you right? You aborted who, Zelda?” Alpha Damon’s voice boomed through the room, and my sister and I jolted at the same time in shock. Zelda’s face paled as she looked over at the door and found him there. “I promise you, it’s… not what you think.” She muttered in a very low voice, walking towards him with cautious steps and my face twisted into that of disgust. I didn’t think I could bear watching her all act lovey dovey towards him like she hadn’t just committed a murder. No one told me before I held my sister’s hand, and we turned around. We have nothing more to do here. “Then explain to me. You’ll clear things up, won’t you?” As much as he was glaring at her, his voice tight with frustration, I couldn’t bring myself to believe it wasn’t all just pretens

    TWENTY FOUR I stayed in the bathtub for longer than I cared to know. I continued to stare blankly at the ceiling, my eyes dry and face void of any sort of emotions. I knew it was just for now, and I’d be back to crying my eyes out after I’m out of here and still, I wanted this moment. Lena hasn’t shown up since I left her in the hallway. I don’t know why, all I know is nothing could be wrong. For now, it’s best to believe the task of cleaning up the blood was what’s taking her so much time. “Luna Alethea!” The pounding on my room’s door was so loud it kicked me back to reality and out of my head. “What do you want?” I didn’t bother to stand up, and rather just mind-linked her. Her response came in almost immediately and her voice was fidgety. “Your sister is creating a scene with Luna Zelda. I…I think it’s best you come and see for yourself.” She broke the bombshell and before she could have her next blink, I wrapped a towel around myself and was out of the bathroom. I stepped i

    TWENTY THREEDamn, that sly wolf in sheep clothing. How dare she cause me a miscarriage?! Does she have no conscience? How dare she? I could spend hours here at the same spot raging but I needed to call for help first. They night still be able to save my baby. It was tough but one step at a time and I reached the door. Opening it, I stepped out and the first thing I did was to look in every direction of the hallway. To my absolute shock, I sighted no one, not even the guards; even though it was early in the morning. I grounded my teeth as something dawned on me. This was also Zelda’s handiwork. Gosh, that evil witch. I thought she was only cruel, but evidently, she’s the worst to ever exist in the werewolf world. A person like her doesn’t deserve to live in this world, talk more of being blessed with a high position, and a powerful mate. Evidence that the moon goddess is really unfair. I fisted my hands, and began to move. I can’t just wait for a helper to drop from the sky and

    TWENTY TWOThere was horror on my face as I saw her standing at the door. She’d opened the door and had probably been there for a while without me noticing. I scrambled down from the bed to hide behind the bed’s headrest, my heart racing. My ears are perked up for when she lifts a foot, and the instant I heard her footsteps, my face was filled with shock. I could swear, I would have peed my pants if I didn’t hold it back just in time before it could drop. “Get out of there.” Zelda said, and I was surprised at how calm her voice sounded. However, I wasn’t convinced. It was probably just a camouflage. “N—No.” I answered firmly, my voice cracking. My gaze remained on her approaching red heels, fear filling me. What if she drags me out of here? I actually wouldn’t put it above her to use some force. “I’m some ghost you have to hide away from?” She chuckled, more to herself than me, and if I wasn’t mistaken, she stopped walking. It was just a few feet from me but still, I exhaled a sh

    TWENTY ONE“She’s awake!” A voice shouted the moment my eyes opened. I heard the door closing as I scrambled into a sitting position to see where I was. I was inside a room that wasn’t the slave quarter but… wait, don’t tell me this is my previous room? The last thing I remembered was losing consciousness. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was left there on that spot to wake up on my own, but they actually brought me here. For a moment, I was jawstruck and couldn’t close my mouth out of disbelief. Could it be the Alpha Damon’s order? I shook my head immediately. He had saved me from my torturer's hands but he has no reason to continue to be nice to me. I put a leg out of bed, expecting pain to crawl into me from different directions of my body. Instead, I felt nothing and I didn’t know where I began to take my clothes off, surprised. I dashed towards the vanity mirror and turned my back on it, my head twisting to catch my reflection and I gasped at the sight of my spotless back. Holy

    I braced myself for the first lash but when the whip hit my skin, stinging so cruelly, I realized I couldn’t hold it in and screamed out. Yet that didn’t make them stop. They couldn’t care less about my pain, or show any pity. If anything, it only made them whip me even harder. I had promised myself not to show any weakness in front of them and walk out of here without a single drop of my tears on the floor, but now I realize, I shouldn’t have underestimated them. It hurt like hell and in no time, tears began to well up in my eyes, in which I didn’t try to hold back. “How much longer?” I choked out, tears falling freely from my eyes and I was sure I heard one of them snicker. “We’ve only just started.” The whipmaster barked, his voice mocking and indifferent. Maybe it was my question that pissed him off, or the fact that I dared mutter a word at all but as soon as the guard's hands tightened around me, holding me down, he struck. It was hard, stinging, and more painful than the
