Return to The Moon Stone Pack

"Hurry up and get in there!" Alexander quickly pushed me into the house I was previously in.

I fell quite hard, and it instantly caused a loud clatter of chains inside the house. I was breathing heavily, with mixed feelings right now. Feelings of sadness, disappointment, and anger. I looked around me, at the inside of the house. This time, something was different, the window of the house where I managed to escape last night, had been changed to be locked using iron bars.

Which, iron is one of the weaknesses possessed by a werewolf. I endured all the pain I was feeling now, and got back up to stand firmly there. Quickly, after I managed to stand up again, I turned around, and looked right at the haughty Alexander now.

"If you hate me so much, just because of me being omega in your own pack, why don't you just kick me out of this pack, Alexander? Why did you have to go to all that trouble, rejecting me as your mate, in front of everyone in The Moon Stone Pack? Why did Vienna even bother, making up a fake story about my betrayal? When I myself don't even know what betrayal you two are talking about! Why should I?!"

I couldn't stop myself from saying all the things that I felt, and thought since last night to Alexander now. I clenched my palms together so tightly that I no longer felt the pain from it. I was probably getting used to the pain that other people were giving me by now. It was also myself who caused the pain. Alexander who was standing right in front of me instantly looked surprised by the courage I showed him there once again. But I didn't care anymore in the slightest. I just wanted to change the destiny of my life, and that was without Alexander.

"You already rejected me as your mate. It doesn't matter, Alexander. I can live alone even without having a mate." Tears once again fell from my eyes.

"But making me a bad person in front of my friends? My friends who I consider my own family. Is that not too much for you, Alexander?" I chuckled mockingly, and Alexander remained silent.

"You are the Alpha of this pack. And I totally understand the fact, that you want Luna to be your equal. But making me a dragon's bride? Are you crazy?"

"I will not listen to your words anymore. That's enough."

Alexander, who had been silent, immediately muttered with emphasis on each word. Alexander turned around and prepared to close the door, but I stopped him.

"But I still want to talk, Alexander!" I shouted and managed to make Alexander's body stiffen right there.

"You may have succeeded by bringing me back into this damned pack, Alexander Stone. But never forget, that karma will surely come to you, and Vienna as well. You will reap what you have sown. Did you think that I would never put up with all the falsehoods you've created? One day, everyone inside The Moon Stone will know who is a traitor and who is innocent."

With a rough gesture, I wiped away the traces of tears on my face using my palms there.

"We'll see. Who will fall into the hole they are digging for themselves. Me... you... or Vienna. One day, when all the people in The Moon Stone Pack realize their mistakes, and also your mistakes as their Alpha. Everyone in the pack will leave you alone. Even if you beg on your knees before them all, they will always blame you, and Vienna."

I paused my words. Alexander, who still had his back to me by the door, was feeling very sorry for myself until now.

"Let's see, Alexander Stone. Who will burn one day. Me, Serenity Grace. Or you, Alexander Stone. Or your mistress, Vienna Jade. We all will see. No matter how many ways you try to torture me right now, for the rest of my time in this pack... I will survive. I will continue to live even if I become a dragon bride. I will continue to survive, to see your destruction!"

Brak

My words were cut short when Alexander slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Alexander even locked the door. I don't know how else I should react now. It was too much for me to deal with on my own right now. Why? All those questions just couldn't disappear from my mind. It's too much for me to keep to myself right now. Bruk. I bent my legs, then hugged it tightly, while hiding my face there. I cried once more. I don't know how long I have to keep crying like this.

If only, time could be turned back once again, I might have been able to be free from the evil plan carried out by Vienna and Alexander. If only, I hadn't obeyed and believed everything Alexander and Vienna said, I might not have ended up in this fate. I might not have been able to become a dragon bride. I might have been able to continue working as an omega in The Moon Stone Pack with peace of mind.

I might have been able to stay together with my friends, and without this burden. Then why? Why would Alexander and Vienna be so evil as to do all this to me? What wrong have I done to those two, that they could be so willing to do all these evil things to me?

"If only I had a little courage... I might be able to go further than this Moon Stone Pack." I sobbed softly. Although I tried repeatedly, and very hard, I simply could not stop myself from crying.

"If only, I had followed in my mother's footsteps, just maybe, I wouldn't have ended up miserably in this evil pack. Why me? Why doesn't everyone take my side, and believe that I am completely innocent? Why did everyone seem to support the evil plans of Alexander and Vienna? Why are they... allowing this injustice to happen in my life?"

Klek

"Tsk... tsk... tsk..."

The snickering sound that was suddenly in the same room as me, instantly made me stop sobbing. I began to furrow my brow quite deeply as I felt the presence of another person near me now.

"Well, Alexander has always been able to keep all the things he's said and promised me. Including... bringing you to this pack again, Serenity."

That voice belonged to Vienna. She was here, right in front of me. I could feel that Vienna was standing right in front of me now. I slowly raised my head and looked intently at Vienna who was standing tall in front of me right now. Vienna lowered her head while looking at me with a mocking gaze. I decided to boldly face Vienna. I rose to my feet, while wiping away the remaining tears on my face, with a rough motion.

"What are you in this room for, Vienna? Are you and Alexander still not satisfied with destroying me?" I asked in a low tone of voice.

"No, I'm not. I will never be satisfied in the slightest, Serenity."

Vienna began to put her hands together in front of her chest. Now Vienna's eyes were moving up and down, as if she was observing my current state. And I need to keep control of myself right now. I don't want to lose control, and end up hitting this haughty woman in front of me. I don't want to do that.

"Wow! That dress is also very appropriate for you to wear. Equally dirty, smelly, and torn everywhere. That dress looks very imperfect. Just like you, Serenity. You will never be able to be perfect, and be with Alexander."

Vienna paused her words, while starting to smile mockingly at me there. That instantly made me clench my palms together tightly. I could even feel the chains that were still entangling my wrists, becoming stronger and stronger now.

"Alexander is an Alpha. Of course, he wants a mate who is as worthy and equal in rank as he is. But unfortunately, Moon Goddess was too foolish to create you, a lowly omega, as Alexander's mate. Of course, he would feel very frustrated and very ashamed. Knowing that you are his mate is like losing a battle."

"Are you done?"

I asked, and that instantly made Vienna's mouth shut. She had stopped talking now, while looking at me with an incredulous look. Probably, Vienna did not expect at all, if I finally had enough courage to interrupt her speech, so boldly now. But I have to do this. Otherwise, I would only end up enduring all the pain that Vienna and Alexander had caused me simultaneously in that short period of time.

"Are you done talking? Then, let me talk now."

I sighed loudly. I allowed myself to show Vienna how angry, annoyed, tired, and hateful I was towards her and Alexander right now.

"You probably feel victorious already, with Alexander having managed to bring me back into this pack now so easily, Vienna. I know how good Alexander is at hunting. But you yourself may have also forgotten and neglected one very important thing, Vienna."

I started to smile a little, even though my eyes were starting to blur a little from the tears that were welling up. I tried to restrain myself from crying. Especially in front of Vienna right now. It was unbearable for myself to cry in front of a snake woman like her.

"Alexander was indeed looking for me in the forest earlier ... but he also very easily found my whereabouts among the shrubs in the forest. Without you realizing it, and also understanding it yourself, Alexander is still using the instincts he has as his mate, to be able to find me in that forest, Vienna. Alexander... he was still using his instincts, and recognizing the scent of my body that was unique to him, as his mate. Don't you realize that? Or are you just pretending?"

I smiled again, but now, my smile was much more lopsided than before. I smiled mockingly at her. I was trying to get Vienna to start feeling doubtful and also annoyed with my words about Alexander. I only had two days to create division and misunderstanding between Vienna and Alexander. Perhaps doing so would give me an advantage. I may not have prepared a neat and good plan, but I sincerely hope that my words will really have a great effect.

"Stop talking right now, Seren. Or else, I will starve you to death myself until the bride-giving ritual for the dragon begins."

Vienna immediately raised her right hand, and pointed an index finger at me.

"Go ahead, Vienna Jade. Please do everything you can to kill me. Because after that, I no longer need to be a dragon bride. And you yourself also know that very well." I took a few steps back.

"Your words just now, instantly made me feel even more certain... that deep down in your heart, you yourself also realize how much Alexander still cares about me as his mate, Vienna. Alexander could have just told the warriors to look for me in the forest, but who would have thought that Alexander would also look for me in the forest. It all sounds very romantic and beautiful, doesn't it?"

I gently rubbed my face, and looked back at Vienna who began to lower her right hand there.

"Alexander already rejected me as his mate last night. He also rejected me as the future Luna of The Moon Stone Pack. But Alexander still cares about me very much. By using his instincts to search for me, and recognizing my scent, it's more than enough to prove that Alexander doesn't want to let me go. Apart from the plan to sacrifice me in the ritual of giving a bride to the dragon. If Alexander really wanted to reject me as his mate, of course he wouldn't have to go searching for me, using instinct, and recognizing my scent. Alexander could have simply forgotten how my body scent was unique to him. But he didn't, did he? Because Alexander still cares about me. Then what about you, Vienna?"

"What do you mean by me?" Vienna began to ask in a trembling tone of voice.

Now, I was the one who started to clasp my hands in front of my chest. I didn't care about the jingling sound caused by the chains binding my wrists together. I just wanted Vienna to feel how it was to be threatened with such sharp words and also to have her mind start messing with itself right now.

"If Alexander still uses his instincts as my mate, then what about your fate after that, Vienna? You might be able to warm Alexander's bed now, but after my departure from The Moon Stone Pack, will Alexander still act the same way towards you? I don't think so, Vienna. Alexander will also change little by little. Maybe it will start with Alexander not wanting you in his room anymore, or... meddling too much with the business he has in this pack. Just so you know, Vienna... Alexander, knew from the beginning that I, the lowly omega in his pack, was his mate. The future Luna of The Moon Stone Pack. Alexander knows everything."

"No! That's impossible! Alexander does not know that you are his mate! Alexander didn't use his instincts at all. You're trying to mess with me, aren't you? That's why you're saying all those things. Alexander didn't trick me!"

Vienna immediately screamed very loudly with a bit of hysterics in there. But I myself kept myself calm now. I had just started this game Vienna.

"That's possible, Vienna. Alexander has known this for a long time. Since I was seventeen years old. Right on the day Alexander was first appointed as Alpha of The Moon Stone Pack. You didn't even know that yourself, did you? Alexander deliberately hid the fact about our mates' relationship from you. So you thought Alexander would never lie and fool you again? That was a very big mistake, Vienna."

I shook my head several times slowly at once. I even changed my facial expression to look a little pityingly at Vienna now.

"I feel sorry for you, because Alexander must have lied to you a lot, without you even realizing it. I have indeed been discarded by Alexander as his mate, and also sacrificed me in the ritual of giving a replacement to the dragon. But you? What would Alexander do to you, Vienna? If he could send his own mate in the blood ritual, what would he be able to do to you. I'm sure that's a bad thing too."

"No... that's not possible at all. Alexander would never lie. He would never lie to me!"

"If he can lie and betrayed to me as his own mate in one night, then why not lie and betrayed to you who is nothing to him, Vienna?" I chuckled after saying that.

"You yourself will also realize all those things after the ritual of giving a bride to the dragon is completed, Vienna. After I leave from inside The Moon Stone Pack, I am sure that you will understand and also realize all the words I am saying to you. Let's see who will believe whom, Vienna. Are you going to keep believing all the lies and deceptions Alexander has told you, or... are you going to start believing everything I just told you. All the answers will depend on your own thinking Vienna. You will get the answers that match the facts later."

I paused my words, and let out my breath slowly. Vienna herself began to bow her head slightly, with a deep frown on her forehead now. I knew that Vienna had fallen into the trap and game that I was playing with her now. Even all the words that I said earlier, also felt like bitter lies. I knew that everything I said earlier was not the truth. Most of them were true, but the rest were lies. Slowly, I turned around, and walked towards the window in this room.

"And yes... if all my words prove to be true, then never regret it, Vienna. Regret always comes at the end. But I want you and Alexander to not only feel regret, but to feel destruction."

I turned my head back, and looked at Vienna who was still in the same position there.

"The day you and Alexander get your karma... the day you learn the truth of my words... that will be the last day you, and Alexander, live in peace. Now, if you have no more business, get out of this house. Let me calm myself, and go with the flow of the destiny you have prepared for me." I turned my head back, and looked out the window.

"Isn't this all that you, and Alexander planned for me? After making me a traitor in this pack, distancing me from my friends, making me a bad person, rejecting me as Alexander's mate, and also as the future Luna of this pack... just two more days, then all of your plans will truly succeed, and come to an end."

I chuckled. I tried to mask the pain, and sadness I felt with that chuckle. Although my eyes were starting to well up with tears again now.

"Because I will become a dragon bride, and die after that."
