"Samantha, are you awake?" A loud knock rattled my door in the early morning.

I groaned and rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the lingering sleepiness. Glancing at the clock on my bedside table, I sighed in exasperation. It was barely 5 a.m.

I had stayed up late practicing my script and had only managed to fall asleep around 3 a.m. Now, irritation simmered beneath my exhaustion as the relentless knocking continued.

"What’s going on?" I yanked the door open, still trying to maintain my politen

    It had all happened so fast.I... I didn’t mean to slap Marcus in Jennifer’s presence. He was the one that kept dragging me around like a rag doll anyway!The thunder rumbling outside didn’t help matters as Marcus blurted. "We’ll discuss this upstairs..."Meanwhile, Jennifer chimed in dramatically just then. "How dare you raise your hand on the Alpha? You should have your hand cut off! In fact, you–"However, it seemed Marcus had finally gotten tired of her voice as he turned his gaze to her and snapped. "Jennifer, that’s enough! Leave."She blinked at him with surprise, too stunned to move an inch.But when Marcus kept his cold gaze on her, she seemed to have gotten the message as she scurried out of the living room, heading for the stairs to heaven knows where.With her gone, I tried pulling away from Marcus’s hold again but it was futile."Marcus, please." My eyes shook as hot tears pricked them.I bit my lips, holding them back as I continued. "I– It’s been a long night. I lost a

    Eager to calm Catherine’s anger, I stepped forward, making my way to her."M– Ma’am, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean–"However, she raised her hand, a smile plastered on her face. "Don’t. It’s fine, it’s not your fault."What the heck?A cold shiver ran down my spine as she stepped forward, her eyes on the scattered pieces of the necklace in my hands.I stretched my hands forward, gazing at my feet like that would save me from what I felt was impending doom.But it never came."In all seriousness, I don’t blame you, Ashley." She repeated after taking the pieces from my hands. But when I raised my head, I didn’t see an ounce of kindness in her eyes.On the contrary, her gaze on me was cold as she spoke with an equally cold tone. "I blame myself for not getting rid of you on the same night you got here with everything I have..." She stepped forward with each word she uttered.Terrified, I moved backward, trying to avoid an encounter with her.But Marcus’s mother persisted with her hurtful word

    Jennifer’s eyes sparked with curiosity as she took a step closer to me, her voice oozing sarcasm. "So, Luna, tell me... what’s with all the ruckus tonight? Also, where did you and Marcus head off to?"What sort of guts did Jennifer Cowell have?After trying time and time again to piss me off—including by slicing me on my face earlier today—she still wanted to know more about me and Marcus?My eyes narrowed, my mind racing through the events of the night again.Yeah... I wasn’t about to share any of that with her."I’m tired, Jennifer," I uttered with a dismissive wave. "Can’t this wait?"Jennifer’s expression didn’t falter even though her eyes flashed with annoyance. "Oh, I think this is quite important, Luna," she said, her voice firm. "After all, I’m just trying to make sure you’re safe."Safe?Now I knew she was full of bullshit.If anything, the girl wanted me in a grave buried six feet under.I rolled my eyes, brushing past her to walk away.However, Jennifer did something unexpe

    ASHLEYWho would’ve thought that a simple walk with Beta Jarred would turn out to be one of the most conflicted moments I’ve ever experienced since I got to this mansion?No, it wasn’t because he led us to the same garden where my affair with him started.Rather, it was because of the shocking discovery we made while there."The Delta is after Marcus’s life," I muttered to myself as I walked back to the mansion.The discovery had left me mentally exhausted, prompting me to take an excuse from Jarred.To hell with Marcus’s idea of me meeting Jarred for guidance in my role as Luna.This meeting was doomed to have some underlying disaster from the onset... Delta Asher’s revelation was just the icing on the bloody cake.Eventually, I got to the mansion’s compound but then heard footsteps behind me.I glanced back only to spot Susan walking fast toward me, a worried expression on her face."Ma’am? Are you okay?" She asked with a sincerely concerned tone. "You didn’t even bother taking the

    Soon enough, Elder Gita arrived at the scene, a solemn expression on her face."Sorry for bothering you again, Elder," I muttered, smiling at her.She merely responded with a curt nod, her gaze already scrutinizing Susan’s dead body.Meanwhile, as we let the Elder do her thing, I called some guards to give them orders. "Go to the mansion and bring any maid who’s acquainted with Susan here."The guards nodded and were about to leave when Jarred spoke up. "I don’t think there’s any need for that, Marcus. I think I know a maid who I’ve seen hang around the deceased a lot."My brows furrowed into a frown as all the Alpha council members turned their gazes to Jarred.Curious, I gestured at him. "Well, don’t keep us in suspense. Who is this maid?"Jarred replied after rubbing his chin, seemingly in thought. "Ah, yes! I think her name is Thalia."Thalia?She was also one of the maids I’d assigned to Ashley when she newly moved into the mansion.However, after a while, I realized that Susan s

    My heart palpitated heavily against my ribcage due to the adrenaline rush as I sat up on the grass, staring at the gory scene before us.On the bench where Ashley and I had been sitting lay the dead body of a young lady.And it wasn’t just any ’young lady’ too."Ahhhh!" Ashley suddenly let out a shrill scream, her hands flying to her mouth as she tried to control herself.Her eyes flashed with terror when she got a clearer view of the girl on the bench.Susan... Her maid."Sir!" Just then, Lyra rushed toward us with some guards in black suits.They surrounded the premises, helping me and Ashley up while searching around to see if the culprit was still lurking around.However, after the guards had helped me up, I brushed their hands aside, walking to the dead body with a frown on my face.Now that I was close to the body, I had a better view of it and could make a clearer picture in my head of what happened.There was a fist-sized hole in the girl’s chest, where her heart was supposed

    Samantha After Zephyr finished speaking, Elder Derrick stayed silent for several long seconds. The quiet inside the office felt heavier now. Not hostile. Not tense. Just serious. The kind of silence that settled over a room when someone realized the situation in front of them was far uglier

    Samantha "If you let me go, I'll tell you where to find the antidote for your bitch."For a moment, Zephyr froze. Then almost immediately, his gaze snapped toward me. And finally, he noticed it properly. My wounds were not healing. If anything, they looked worse. The skin around the bulle

    Samantha “Cut!” The director’s voice snapped through the set, pulling me out of the storm I had just thrown myself into. A second ago, I had been screaming, my whole body shaking like my child had truly been taken from me. Now I stood still, trying to breathe. My heart was still racing. My ch

    I tilted my head, not quite sure what he meant at first. Then the moment the words left my mouth, the entire house erupted. Voices overlapped, laughter broke out, and excitement filled every corner. Mona and Vera were the loudest, their reactions almost deafening as they celebrated. What caught m
