BRIELLE
"Move it!" The guards ordered, dragging me towards my room.I was trying to comply with them, but someone was trying to prove stubborn, and it was becoming hard for me to hold her back."Brielle, stand down or else...""Bane, don't," I pleaded within, afraid of what she'd do if she takes over me.The inside of me was burning up like I had consumed something hot. I could feel Bane perambulating restlessly, fighting to be free.She was just desperate to step out and attack anybody around me. But I can't allow that.I just have to hold her back.When the guards brought me to my room, they yanked the door open and tossed me inside."AH!" I exclaimed, falling hard to the ground with my knees scrapping the hard floor.This sudden impact caused my body to shiver intensely. I felt my heart skip hard, feeling my hands shaking.When I looked at it, I saw long claws slowly forcing its way out through my fingers.Bane! She's getting really mad!"You're going to be locked up until the Alpha gives an order to free you, " I heard the guards say, followed by the door slamming from behind and the sound of a key dangling from outside.As soon as the footsteps of the guards distanced from my room, I gave out a loud cry, groaning out in pain.Through the mirror in my front, I saw my eyes glowing green and my teeth growing large.A roar escaped my mouth with a sudden darkness engulfing me.I couldn't tell what happened to me next. All I noticed was that the excruciating pain I was feeling suddenly came at ease, and...Where am I?I was in total darkness. I couldn't tell my left to my right."You shouldn't have held me back, Brielle!" I heard Bane groaning.When I lifted my eyes in the darkness I was in, I was stunned by what I saw.Bane. She has taken over my body!I could see her reflection through the mirror. A mighty wolf standing firm, looking all raged while moving around with those terrifying green eyes.I was in her body, almost like a shield or an armor. I could only see what was happening outside through her eyes, understanding how a wolf shares body with their host."So this is where she stays?" I uttered, lifting my eyes to have a look around. But all I could see was darkness.Suddenly, I heard Bane grouch in anger. She's still mad over the fact that I didn't allow her to bounce out and attack Argon.When I looked through her eyes, Bane was making her way to the door, furiously."Bane, what are you doing?""Ending the story of that rat, " She growled."What?! Bane, don't! " I objected, finding that idea bad.What if they see her and attack her?There are so many guards in this mansion. And Argon? He's a powerful wolf! An Alpha for that matter!He might easily bring Bane down along with me.I can't allow Bane to do this.Before I could voice out and stop my wolf from doing anything stupid, Bane came to a stop by herself.She just stood, staring at the door, puffing out deeply."Bane. Are you okay?" I asked, wondering why she didn't go ahead with her plan.That's when I heard her chuckling. It echoed in the darkness I was in, sending some kind of terrifying wave into me."You're right, Brielle. I won't attack. There are a lot of guards in this place, and we don't want that Alpha stopping us, " She said, leaving me surprised.She heard me?Who am I kidding? Of course she'll hear me. She's my wolf. We're unified after all.Bane retraced her step to the mat I always lay on. The moment she laid down to relax, I felt myself being pulled out form the darkness in a flash.When my eyes came open, I found myself out of Bane, laying on the mat naked.Bane has finally calmed down, leaving me relieved... For now."Let them have all the fun they want, " Bane voiced within me."They won't know what hit them very soon." She cackled devilishly, leaving me wondering what plan she has for Argon and Estelle..The night was here. I laid on the mat, squirming in pains.I haven't eaten anything since morning, and it was beginning to affect me badly.My stomach has been growling since then, leaving me munching on my own dress instead.The only thing I could rely on was the water rushing from the small bathroom in here. I could still drink that, but what am I going to eat?Flashes of the past came to me. This was the time the late Alpha was still alive. He would make sure I was treated like his daughter, giving me whatever I wanted.And Argon couldn't stand against his father's wish.But when the Alpha died, Argon was bent on making my life miserable. I became a punching bag instead of his Luna.He didn't show me any respect, one bit.If not for Bane's suggestion, I would have signed that divorce paper and left this place for good."I am not needed in this place," I told myself, curling on the mat.Just then, I felt the presence of another wolf outside my room. The aura was weak yet it was engulfing my nostrils.The moment I turned over to look at the door..."Luna. Luna, can you hear me?" I heard a faint call outside, with a shadow revealing from the down.Who is that?Curious, I crawled towards the door, still hearing the faint call, calling out to me."Luna, are you okay? No need to speak, just knock and I'll know, " The voice, a female, said to me with so much concern mixed in her tone.Listening to her instructions, I carefully gave a knock to show I was listening."Oh, thank the goddess," I heard her joyful response, which planted a smile across my face.Who is this lady?Why does she sound so familiar?I was going to ask who she was, but I saw something sliding underneath the door."Please take this. It's the best I could get," She said, forcing a towel into my room, which had something in it.Before I could reach out to the towel and see what was inside, the smell of bread engulfed my nostrils at once, reviving my hunger."Bread?" I uttered, rushing the towel.Indeed there was bread wrapped in the towel. Just two slices, enough to pass through the tiny space underneath the door.I immediately picked it and began to eat like crazy, quenching the hunger that has been in me since morning."I'll see if I can get you something by midnight. There are some left over meal in the kitchen. I'll try to get that without anyone seeing me, okay? " She promised.This touched my heart deeply.So, someone still cares about me in this mansion? And I thought I was all alone.I felt my eyes welling with tears, as I ate the bread slowly, nodding at the promise of my savior outside the door."Okay, " I responded, so she'll know I'm with her.I heard her sigh with delight in her voice. She pulled the towel back, repeating her promise before leaving.I still remained at the door, on my knees, munching slowly on the bread given to me by this kind lady.I know it's one of the maids who ignored the risk of being caught and came to see me.Even though the bread isn't enough, she still saved me from hunger..Midnight finally came. There was nothing but silence everywhere.I sat near the door, patiently waiting for the maid to return as she promised.My stomach was already growling for more food, leaving me biting my finger nails in thoughts."What if she was caught? What if she forgot?" I asked, getting worried for the maid and also for myself."I don't think I can stay without food for too long. I need to eat.""You will eat. That's for sure. Don't worry about it, " Bane assured me.It almost looked like she didn't care about what I was facing currently. She was just relaxed herself inside of me, assuring me that I'd eat.At this point, I was beginning to lose my hope in the maid ever returning."She's not coming back, " I sighed, crawling away from the door.Just then, the familiar weak smell from earlier, came streaming into my nose.It's her!Quickly, I rushed back to the door and saw a shadow below.That's when her voice came in like the last time."Luna, are you awake?""Yes, I am, " I whispered back, getting excited.But my whole excitement came crashing when the maid revealed to me. "I'm sorry, Luna. I couldn't get anything for you. The guards were standing at the entrance of the kitchen."My heart skipped with agony, hearing how she spoke with sadness in her voice."I thought I could step in and out without them noticing, but they caught me with some food and I had to lie I was hungry. They didn't allow me to take it anywhere. I'm sorry, " She pleaded.It was clear in her voice. She was upset.I felt for her, knowing the risk attached to her plans for me. But she didn't succeed."But don't worry. I know you'll be out soon. I'd just make up an excuse to come into your room in the morning. I'll come along with some food. I beg that you hold on till then, please Luna.""I understand. Thank you," I appreciated, so she won't feel sad.Her voice sounded pleased after I thanked her. It only left me more desperate to know who she was."What's your name?" I asked."Tania. My name is Tania," She answered."Tania?" I uttered, recognizing her.She's the same maid who defended me when Estelle tried to frame me for stealing her golden necklace, which was never stolen in the first place."It's you. I didn't get the chance to thank you the other time. Em... Thank you, " I said, hearing Tania giggling outside.It brought peace to my heart, knowing I have someone to stand by my side.Tania and I had a little talk, brightening our mood.She then comforted me, making a vow I never expected from anyone."The Alpha and the others might have rejected you, but I haven't. I recognize you only as my Luna, not Estelle. I, Tania, Vow to serve you only Luna Brielle. You are still my Luna. You have my word, " She promised.This gave me some kind of strength I never had. I smiled and appreciated her for supporting me.But our moment was ruined when the voice of a guard came yelling out, " HEY! WHO'S THERE?!""Luna, I have to go, " Tania panicked and ran off.I was all alone again, but this time, I didn't feel it.I got to my feet and walked towards the small window, thinking about Argon and Estelle."Three months. In this three months, there will be a lot of changes done. I'll make you two regret ever crossing paths with me," I promised.ARGON"No, I will not listen!" Alpha Deron sparked at both Estelle and I.It's been two days since that incident, and he has refused to listen to my apology.I have tried so many ways to get him to accept my plea. I even bought him gifts that suites his taste as an Alpha, but he still rejected it, showing how mad he was over what that foolish Brielle did."Daddy, please. How long are you going to be mad at Argon? You know it wasn't his fault? It was that wolfless and worthless ex of his, " Estelle said, begging on my behalf.I also joined her, blaming Brielle for what had happened."Alpha Deron, you have every right to he mad at me. What happened shouldn't have occurred if I had placed that vile woman in her place. But as we speak, she's serving her punishment," I said, hoping he would be pleased about it. And yes, he was. Where he sat on his couch with his arms crossed, Alpha Deron showed a sign of pleasure,
ARGON"I advice you get her a good bed to rest on. If she doesn't feel like staying in the room with you, get that room set for her. Laying on the floor isn't good for her body, Alpha," Doctor Nicole had advised me before leaving my home.This left me feeling annoyed, because this woman we're talking about, I have no interest nor a trace of love in my heart for her.If not for the fact that Estelle and I have decided to be patient before we release the news to everyone, I would have told them Brielle is no longer my Luna.But for now, I just have to act like she's still my wife.Leaving Brielle's room for the large parlor, I met my Beta, Jerome, talking to some guards about something.I didn't bother or show any care to what he was discussing with them. I believe it's something that has to do with satisfying me, their Alpha.When Jerome spotted me, he immediately dismissed the meeting with the guards."Attend to that first before reporting back to me, " He said to the guards, who took
BRIELLEMy heart came rising at the way Tania spoke back to Argon and Estelle. She has no fear over them.I was marvelled by her confidence in standing up to both of them. She didn't look scared one bit."I like her. She may have a small wolf in her, but her zeal is beautiful," Bane chuckled within, admiring Tania's bravery.Yes, it's remarkable, but I'm also scared for her.This is her Alpha and his lover she's going head to head with."Excuse me? Can you repeat that statement. You will only do what?" Argon questioned Tania.I could see the rage engulfing both of them, with their eyes darting right at poor Tania."Repeat what you just said!" Estelle roared out, moving around to get to Tania's point.When I saw this, I knew what was going to happen next."My apologies, Alpha, but it's hard for me to just accept someone else as my new Luna. Luna Brielle is the only...""SHUT UP!" Estelle yelled, raising her hand.The moment I saw this, I grabbed Tania's hand and pulled her back.This
BRIELLESitting back on the bed, I gave out a sigh, with my hands covering my face.The thought of Argon and Estelle's constant abuse on me, irritated me to the core.It made me wish I could just grab them by the throat and... "Luna," I heard a whisper from behind.A familiar one.Turning around, I spotted Tania peeping into my room, to make sure it was safe for her to come in."Tania, you're back?" I stared in surprise.Despite Argon's threat, she still came back. She tiptoed into the room, shutting it close with the bolt, before rushing to sit next to me."Tania, the Alpha had ordered you not to return here. Why did you disobey his command?" I asked, still looking at this maid that never ceases to amaze me.She gave out a scoff, responding to my question, "I know I shouldn't be saying this, but he lost my respect when he pushed you off the stairs."I was stunned to hear this from her.She was there? That's when I remembered.The voice that screamed out for help. That was Tania. No
ESTELLEDid Argon just ignore me?I was stunned by Argon's action. He just neglected my words and took that wretch in his hold. "Is he blind? Can't he see that Brielle is pretending to be in pains?"I would know because I have done something like this before to Argon, just to get him to come and stay with me.Brielle is lying!I watched Argon as he dashed out of the room with Brielle in his arms. He went with wolf speed, leaving me behind.His action left me mad. Tonight was meant to be for us with no disturbance, but that wolfless woman ruined it with her presence.And Argon? "He can't be serious, " I groaned, going after him.Argon came calling out to his Beta and the servants for assistance while heading for Brielle's room."Alpha, what happened to her?" Jerome asked when he saw Argon racing through the pathway with a groaning Brielle in his hold.She kept making that annoying sound, getting my Argon worried.Can't he see that she's pretending? "I don't know. She just started sc
ESTELLEI screamed in pains, running around to grab anything to wipe my burning face and eyes.The pain was too much. It's so hot!"My face! Oh my face!" I cried, jumping and panicking. I couldn't find anything to use."Estelle!" I heard Brielle's voice in the background, but I couldn't see her."What happened?""She has hurt herself. Quickly, open that door!"I could still hear Brielle's voice along with that maid. That's when I felt someone's hands holding me, directing me to somewhere."Careful, you might hurt yourself," Brielle said close to my ear, leading the way.She was the one holding me.If not for the situation I was in, I would have tossed her aside like the rag she is, but at this moment I needed her help to see again.I was being led like a blind woman, until I felt my head being dunked into what I believed to be water.My head was being pushed into thi
ARGON "I need to start preparing. I can't wait any more, " I said to Jerome, my Beta. We were both at the company attending to work in my office, when I called my Beta in to sit down for an important discussion. "Alpha, are you sure you want to start this quick? " He asked, looking bothered. With determination, I answered him, "I am absolutely sure, Jerome. This wedding needs to take place early. I can no longer wait for three months." I have been thinking about this overnight, and I feel it's best Estelle and I hurry this up than waiting. That way, we can get rid of Brielle once and for all. It's been three days since that incident with Estelle, and I can't help but feel upset with myself for yelling at my sweetheart. She has every right to be upset with that woman. She is an obstacle in our way, all because she wants to fulfill a promise she made to my late father. I can't stand her any more. If my wedding is what is keeping her in my home up till now, then I'm g
ARGONI stepped in fully, drawing closer to Brielle. She just stared at me in confusion, looking back at her hand, then at mine.She doesn't know why I want her to hold her hand, but I do.I want to feel that wave once again. I need to know what it is.Standing before Brielle, I tilted my hand, repeating my order, "Give me your hand. ""Oh... Okay." She shivered, lifting it.I stared, patiently waiting for it to fall right into my palm. And when she placed her hand on mine, I felt... Nothing. There was no wave like before. It was just plain. Almost like an empty space. I couldn't feel that vibration any longer."Why? I know what I felt. Why can't I detect it again?" I grumbled within."Is something wrong?" She asked, but I ignored her."Is it because I'm not holding her properly? Maybe that's why, " I assumed.Out of desperation, I clenched on to Brielle's hand, leaving her
