Chapter 4

BRIELLE

My request was granted, but my position was taken from me in split-seconds. Argon passed a quick notice to every servants in the mansion, to stop calling me his Luna. He brought Estelle before them and declared her his true mate and future Luna. Telling them about their wedding plans and how he wants everyone to give her all the respect she deserves.

How did I know all these? Well, after Argon accepted my request, he came back with three guards to remove me from my room. I was taken to a smaller room in the servants quarters to stay in from now onwards.

"If you're going to remain under my roof, then you'll have to work with the servants. You are no longer the Luna," He had said coldly, showing me my place. And during his announcement, I was with the servants while he introduced Estelle as his new Luna.

The servants had stared at me with sympathy in their eyes. But no one could do anything to change the situation. I was no longer the Alpha's Luna, but his Ex-Luna.

Immediately the meeting was over, Estelle called me out from the midst of the servants and ordered me to make her something to eat. I didn't object to the order but bowed, ready to leave.

"What was that? Yes what? " She asked, pulling her ear to hear me say the word.

Having no choice, I did as she wanted. "Yes, Luna Estelle," I addressed to her satisfaction.

"Good. Now leave my sight, " She ordered me, clinging to Argon.

"Yes, Luna Estelle," I repeated, taking my leave without looking at Argon. I didn't want to look at his face due to the feelings in me.

I began making something for Estelle to eat, trying to be fast with the cooking. When the meal was set, I dished the meal out and brought it to Estelle, who was sitting in the living room with Argon, watching the business news on Argon's company.

Aside from taking over his father's position, Argon became the owner of his late father's company, running it to his desire. With his intelligence and skills, the company came top among others.

The two were celebrating when I served Estelle her meal. She didn't allow me to leave but ordered me to stand and wait till she was done.

I didn't object but obeyed, only for Estelle to spit out the meal in her mouth, crying out for water. I was scared when I saw this, wondering what had happened to her. Before I knew it, Estelle got to her feet and slapped me across the face, leaving me in shock. "Are you insane?! Do you want to kill me?!" She roared out.

Argon had to stand by her side, asking what the matter was. "What did she put in the food, my love?" He asked, getting furious by the minute.

Estelle didn't tell either of us my crime. She just grabbed the food and tossed it on my body. I panicked on feeling the hotness of the meal touch my skin. It burnt me to the point of sweeping it off my body in pain.

"Go back in there and make me something better, you animal! Go!" She yelled at me.

Still suffering from the burns, I managed to pack the remaining meal from both the ground and my body, turning around to leave. Just when I stepped out of the living room, my wolf hearing was activated, allowing me to hear Argon asking Estelle, "What was in the meal?"

"Nothing, my love. I only did that to punish her for choosing to stay," She giggled. They both laughed at me, not knowing I was hearing everything they were saying.

"She will have no choice but to leave after a few attacks, " Estelle shared her plans with Argon.

Bitterness engulfed my heart. I tightened my grip to the plate, trying to hide my pains.

And just as they planned, Argon and Estelle began to frustrate my stay in the mansion. They didn't give me any breathing space. Argon began to look for fault in every little work I did, and Estelle was always there to back him up.

A golden necklace belonging to Estelle went missing and I was immediately blamed for it. Argon and Estelle were ready to send me out, if not for a maid who stepped out to reveal where she saw Estelle keeping it.

"She didn't take it, Alpha. Luna Estelle left it in her purse."

"Shut up! Who asked you? " Estelle sparked in anger, groaning over their failed plan.

"I'm sure my Luna didn't keep it there. Someone must have done it, " Argon said, diverting his words at me.

I knew what they were doing but acted like I didn't notice. After going through so much torment from the both of them, I retired to my room, falling on my mat with tears streaming out of my eyes.

My heart came grieving with so much sorrow, unable to stand Argon and Estelle's bullying. I could no longer stand the torment. I was now desperate to get back at them.

"I did everything I could to make us happy, but you chose to torment me. The only happiness I had, you killed it. Not anymore. I will not allow you two to play me like a fool. You must pay dearly for your actions."

"And that will happen, Brielle," Bane said. Her voice didn't come from within but behind.

I turned back with my teary eyes and met my wolf standing beside the mat. Her green eyes glowed at me as she said, "You will surely get what you want, only if you're ready to allow me take over fully."

I sniffed out, sitting at once. Pained over the abuses, I accepted.

"Think well, Brielle. You will have to give up your sweet nature for this. Are you sure you're ready?"

"I am ready. I no longer care about being good, faithful, obedient... What has it given me in return?" I sniveled, holding back the remaining tears.

Bane smirked at me. Before I could even ask what needs to be done, she pounced right at me, entering back into my body with full force.

I felt my whole body shaking as I tried to stay strong. I could feel her moving in every part, until...

"We are unified fully, " Bane's voice rang in me.

I lifted my gaze to the mirror at my left and found my eyes glowing green. Instead of feeling scared like before, I felt strong, powerful...

In short, I felt good.
