Alessandra Benjamin “Please do try those one-bite sandwiches. Those are specially made by our chef.” I was trying to be a good host to my guests. “Luna Alessandra. Tonight don’t forget to tell me how to treat these dark circles!” A Luna laughingly said while we were greeting each other. “And you will tell me the secret of that black mane on your head.” She laughed heartily when I praised her hair. I needed to tell the world that I was still happy without my mate. “Luna Alessandra? The Alpha King will have his next dance with you or with the love interest of your husband?” An Alpha tried to dampen my spirit. “Don’t worry, Alpha Jax. If The Alpha King will dance with her then I guess I can have my next dance with you.” I knew he was trying to bring me down in the name of a humorless joke. But I was mentally prepared for all of it. Last time, in my previous life, I was trying to avoid any connections with anyone during this party. Last time my eyes were wet and I was sniffing my n
Alessandra Benjamin:It seemed I had been running in the forest throughout the night. I knew they were following me and I wanted to run away as far as possible.I was darting through the trees with supersonic speed.[Keep moving, Alessandra. You can do it, honey.]Carla! This was Carla’s voice in my head. Oh! How I missed her.[Where are you, Carla? I miss you so much.][I am right here, Alessandra. I miss you too. But don’t halt. Stop doubting yourself.]I kept running but this time there were happy tears in my eyes. Carla was with me.But…But something was missing. What was it?I was confused however, I kept running. I could not stop.[Keep running Alessandra. You are forgetting nothing.] Carla assured me and I decided to trust her. I just needed to keep them away from me. I needed to live.“Moo!” The child’s sweet voice made me stop dead in my tracks.[Alessandra. What are you doing? Keep running. They are coming after you.] But I could not move. The voice was so familiar.Painful
Alessandra BenjaminI was heading to the conference room after this unexpected meeting call when I saw Drama Juliet coming out of a room that was used as a store room.She came out dramatically looking around suspiciously and scurried outside the pack house. What was that about exactly?She was more suitable for a Romeo and Juliet movie then why she was trying to be a James Bond zero zero seven?I kept descending the steps when something unexpected happened. The same door opened and Gamma Hilton came out of it.He was also acting like a James Bond when his gaze fell on me.“Luna!”Now, what the hell. What was he doing in the room with that dama Juliet? Did the kissing incident in that meeting led to this?Oh, Poor Juliet. I guess Romeo was not enough for drenching her thirst.“Gamma Hilton. What were you doing in the store room? He seemed a little taken aback by the unexpected question.“My Luna. I just wanted to make sure that… Uh. That we have got enough cleaning supplies.What? Ha-
Alessandra BenjaminGiving my image a final look in the mirror I hummed and sniffed the delicious barbecue scent swirling from the window. The scars were still there on my face.But I was no more ashamed of them.I could hear guests talking and mingling. No, it was not my nonexistent werewolf hearing. Our window used to open in our private backyard, which was vast. I was slowly swaying my hips to the music beat being played at the party. Today I had curled my straight hair into soft waves.The short dress in turquoise blue was complimenting my silver eyes.I did not know about my husband but I was sure that Lunas of neighboring packs would surely kill me because of their ogling husbands.At the ball, most of them thought that though my husband had found his mate then maybe I was available. The dress I was wearing was too tight for my liking. But instead of going for just underwear, I decided on a pair of leather shorts too.I smoothed down the creases of my dress doing a slow and fi
Alessandra BenjaminWhen I started walking towards him I saw interest flickering in his eyes. His face was not showing it but his eyes said it all. He could not believe that I was walking in his direction.All the guests were busy gossiping and were having fun but when I stopped near King Noah at an arm’s length the chattering around me seemed to die down gradually.I could hear people saying, “What is going on?”“Is she insane?”“Why she is approaching a king like this?”“Doesn’t she have shame?”“Her husband brought a mistress and that played havoc with her senses.”Ignoring all the bashing, I looked into those golden eyes which were trying to be emotionless. I bowed a little paying my respect,The bashing could seriously affect my hard earned respect from my pack so instead of asking for a dance I did something which first crossed my mind.I wanted witnesses. Someone who could tell the pack later that their Luna had pure intentions in her heart.I gestured for Gamma Hilton to come
Alessandra Benjamin:Swords were clanking in the field. After the sunrise, all the warriors were training along with she-wolves of the pack. I felt so proud of myself.And then guilt slowly started taking over my heart. Why didn’t I do something constructive in my previous life? I knew it was useless to cry over spilled milk.But this guilt attack sometimes left me with nothing but regrets. I got back everything in this life. Except for my wolf Carla and my son Amerigo.Oh, Carla! I miss you so much. I wish we were together. I don’t have any friends who I can share my pain with.After making the rounds of the field for the training inspection, I started walking to the changing room. It was my training time.Dimitri must be waiting.Just as expected, Romeo did not call me last night. Yup. After the birthday party, he again warned me that our talk was due.It was not a small issue that pack Gamma got killed because of me. It seemed like I coerced him to hold my wrist and defend Juliet.
King Noah James:“We stayed here so that we can look for your mate, Noah. The lady, who will be our rightful queen. But instead of looking for her your eyes are always on the Luna of Silver moon pack. What exactly is cooking in your mind?”I knew he was pissed. He had been excited since I told him on the ball evening that my mate was somewhere close.He never expressed it but after the ball, he was quite eager to visit the neighboring packs to look for my Luna. But instead of planning ahead, I spent my half-day with Alessandra who kept showing me around.She was not much of a talker but I could feel her eyes on me whenever she thought that I was not looking. The feeling was ecstatic.Being a werewolf Luna she could not smell me, could not feel the mate pull. But she was attracted to me, at least that much I was sure of.The way she fought the head warrior, I was impressed. Her movements had grace. I could stand there all day and
Alessandra Benjamin:“Hey. Sandi. You are needed in the conference room.” I was going to take my night shower when Emma informed me.Oh, so the inevitable meeting was tonight!I rolled my eyes and curved down my lips, “Meeting? At this hour? Is he crazy?”I said while throwing the towel on the bed, “Some of us work a full day and need a full night’s sleep.” I knew I was whining like a baby but …“Hey hey. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen. The news is, tomorrow he is going to visit neighboring packs along with the Alpha King.”The mention of Alpha King did some delicious things to my heart.“Just get done with it, Alessandra. Tomorrow you can enjoy your ‘me time’ without any tension.”Me time? That was good news.Ok. At least during this interrogation…. Which I was sure that this was the interrogation I was bound to have.
