What would you do if, one day, you realized that some written history is repeating itself on you? Will you go along with it? Or will you go on fighting it? As for Roxanne, who always thought that every single thing that happens has a reason, she tries to fight it. Unfortunately, what she didn't know is that even if there is always a reason why, there is not always an explanation why.

"Heuk!"
It's getting darker, darker, and darke- "heuk!" It's even getting colder. If I can't go back, I might die soon.
"Heuk!"
'But how will I go back now?! This dessert is so vast, and has no plants! But if... if mom and dad realize that I'm gone, will they even try to look for me?.....'
It was this sudden betrayal that made me doubt my former conjecture.
My feet are already shivering from the desert's coldness so I helped myself to sit and wore my royal blue strappy heels. It's a relief I didn't destroy it. My Brother insisted that I should wear it and I hesitantly obliged because I THOUGHT, I thought that there is a special place in this desert that needs long heels. And that he intends to surprise me with it. Yet when he pushed me in that choppe-
"Heuk!"
I felt like it was the end of the world. MY world.
'Why?! How can he do this to me?! What did I do?! Where have I gone wrong?!'
Almost my entire life, I loved him like a real brother, even if I KNEW, I knew that he was the adopted one. Even mom and dad, I followed and respected them even if I HEARD the fact that they hid the true result of our DNA test on us. I don't kno-
"Heuk!"
-I don't know if they still hated me for being their real child, but I don't remember doing anything that made them feel like that towards me. Ever since I can control my actions, I have restrained myself. I even became an introverted woman because of it. And my so-called beauty? I tried my best to make it mediocre. To make people feel like I am nobody. That I am not worthy of any praise. I never dared to try and stand out. Because I could sense how much people outside hated me because of my appearance. And now that I have reminisced about it properly, I have realized how every member of my family's compliments are the same as those people. And-
"Heuk!"
And that their thin smiles are just the restrainer of their boiling anger and possibly jealousy towards me. I couldn't even figure out where it came from. I am or was, their legitimate child. That carries not only their inner traits but even outside their features. A stunning combination of features from a well-known actress and historian. And yet, perhaps it is the reason itself why they hated me. I am very well aware of my possession. Because I, myself, am bewildered by my face. Every time I watch a movie of great fantasies, I could somehow imagine myself doing what they're doing. Because my face is being praised as a magnificent combination of fantasy beauty with a little bit of my Canadian mom. If I am to-
"Oh! My hiccup is gone. Thank goodness, I would not survi- WOAH, is that the real moon?"
'Why is it so red? And big? I don't think there is a lunar eclipse this year, I would've known if there was.'
'Is this a prank? A surprise? Am I just being pranked?!'
"BROTHER!? Brother Luther are you there?! Please stop this now?! I'm already tired!"
I waited, I waited and turned my sight thither and hither to see if someone was coming but there was none. The red desert being illuminated by the moon's radiating bloody red light stays calm, pathetically calm. I let myself get stumbled again, then pulled some free fabric out of my simple blue royal halter dress. Even this, my brother also forcefully insisted that I should have it, because I am the birthday girl. And I, being utterly curious why, merely followed. But now that I can see how much it's not helping me, I'm certain it's for this reason.
'He wants me to go away from them. To die alone, and rot alone.'
Thinking this, my already swollen puffy eyes began producing another group of warm droplets. Making me close and silently pull them back to where they belong.
I am already shivering so I curl myself up and try to sleep, but the desert's coldness is consuming me.
When I finally opened my eyes, I was more shocked because of how the moon seemed to get bloodier and bigger. And was it just my eyes? It's as if it's coming towards me, to heat me. I just stared at it just as I felt its hidden eyes staring back at me. It seems I have guessed right, it's getting redder and bigger.
Bigger and- "OWOOOO!"
"AHHHH! Oh my god, what's that?! A wolf?"
A sudden loud howl of something, a wolf definitely, from everywhere interrupted my stare at the consuming moon, making it go back to its original size. While the-
'OH. MY. GOD. Is that really a wolf? Why is it so dark? OH NO! Why is there a wolf in the desert?! Am I already hallucinating?!'
I instinctively began to crawl backward and try to get up but I can't seem to get up. No, I can't seem to escape.
' I- it's a b- black M-Mackenzie valley wolf! A- and with very red glowing eyes! W- what should I do?!'
The wolf kept its ablazing red eyes on me as it slowly walked closer. I fought with my inner self who doesn't want to escape because of the feeling that I can't escape and began running hard. But because I am pathetically wearing a tight dress and sandals, I kept drowning in the ocean of sand. But still, I dare not look back and get up quickly. When I felt like I'd been running for all eternity, even though I know I didn't get that far, I built my courage to look back. And it was not there. The moon is alone again. I sighed beyond relief then loo-
"AHHHHH!"
That's the only word I was able to say when my eyes saw the giant dark wolf in front of me before complete darkness covered them all.
Roxxane’s Point of View“Who is she again?”Arshana looked at me pitifully. After we ate, obviously, we finished faster because of some random woman who just barged in and he didn’t say anything. And even left so eagerly with the woman while leaving me at the table.“Arshana, do you know who that woman is?”“Unfortunately no, my lady. But you can ask beta Hephe, he might know.”The mentioned name of someone who might know who the woman is got my energy rising. I eagerly went to Hephe. Actually,I don’t know what happened to me. But the sight of another woman being near Alexander wakes something painful within my chest. It’s like I couldn’t breathe at all. That’s why when we were eating, I couldn’t talk much because my chest was like puffed.“Hephe, hello again,” I added a smile to my melodic greetings and, as usual, he responded with a kneel. But with a hint of a smile.“What can I do for you, my lady?”It would've been great but when almost everyone training with him also kneeled and
Roxxane’s Point of View“So, my lady, you just woke up like that?”Ravishing my body from my toes to my chest for the hundredth time again, I nodded. ‘Goodness gracious, I must be the most stupid woman they’ve ever seen to step on their land.’For the first time though, I get to see and hear Arshana’s laugh. I just laughed with her as I tried to remove my the glitter in my skin.Yes, I’ve got myself shining. As foolish as I am, I managed to acquire all of the glitters from the perfume that I poured into the water of my bathtub. Oh, but what do you all know?I am also a walking pink peach!My body is literally, as in literally, painted in peach. I assumed this was also caused by the pink bottle that I poured while I was relaxing in the tub.Now, I couldn’t take myself to even walk out of my bed.‘And I don’t think I will be able to even after I recover if I recover at all.’“My lady, please come out and eat breakfast with Great Alpha.”“Arshana, why are we back with me being called my
Roxxane’s Point of View“They will start a rebellion?” His terrifying laugh continued. “Let them. Let us see how far they can go.”We were about to leave as he grabbed my hand but I stopped when Hephe meaningfully looked at me. More like pleading already. I tried my best to communicate with him through eyes and after a swift couple of seconds, I decided I already understood what he was saying.“Umm A-Ale- honey?” Everyone, almost everyone around us looked at me when I said that word to Alexander, him not being an exception. But for the sake of Hephe and his men still kneeling, and the people already kneeling around us upon realizing who they were walking with, I continued my sentence. My peripheral vision could already see Hephe smirking.“Why don’t you just go? Maybe they just want to see if they could really trust you. Show them that they should?”Alexander looked at me a little weirdly but pondered for a moment.“You want me to meet with them?”“Uh….yes?”“Why?”“Well, because, wha
Roxxane’s Point of View“Marry me”Just two short words, yet they kept echoing inside my head until I finally opened my mouth.“I-, th-that’s seems to be so soon, isn’t it? “His light and optimistic impression went rigid and dark. Making my toes tremble and instinctively walk back from him.“A-I did not mea-““You do not want me?”I immediately held my hands up in my chest as I shook them left and right to show him I didn’t to offend him. “That’s not what I meant A-Alexander, it’s just, I don’t think it is needed for now. I-aren’t you still preparing for your annunciation in this city?”“Yes, but I want you by my side by that time, not just as a beautiful woman but as my mate, my wife, and everyone’s queen.”His words brought something inexplicable in my heart but my mind still managed to dominate. “Alexander, I truly appreciate it but your people are still unknown to me and them to me. A-I….” I wasn’t able to finish my words when a certain memory entered my mind.‘Who in this world
Roxxane's Point of View"So, what is this temple called?""Karnak Temple Complex, the temple of Amun-ra."I mentally stumbled. 'Amun-ra? As in the sun God of Egypt? The one of the most powerful creators of Egypt people?' I swiftly looked at the carved writings on the elegant and tall walls around us. 'Hieroglyphics. ''So this is indeed the ancient Egypt. I can't believe Alexander indeed managed to conquer the great land of Egypt in just days or weeks. So that explains why this city looked so beautifully well-managed and powerful.Realizing the most important thing in this current state of mine, I took my time to look around and just devour the magnificent scenery silently. In my past life, which is the future, I have never seen these kinds of architecture anymore, and I am more willing to say that if given a choice to choose, I will definitely choose this place, this time, and these types of people, over and over again.“I-“ I stopped my muttering when I saw Alexander was busy conver
Roxxane’s Point of View“Mmmm! This red-bread is indeed very yummy! I can’t believe they don’t make this kind of food in the future anymore.”“Why? Are there no bread in your previous life, as you’ve said?”I finished chewing the yummy strawberry-flavored and vanilla-scented bread of mine before responding to him. “There are, but not as delicious and beautiful as these bread of yours now. Do you not want any? You should try it, I promise you will forget your name.”He chuckled at that and then took one from the bag of bread that I was holding. This is his fault I probably looked like a beggar who just stepped up from life. And now, I am making up for my starvation years by eating like a gourmand. But who cares anyway, it's true actually. That I just got out from a hunger strike suffering, those who abducted me were really heartless and rogue, so they wouldn’t even care about feeding me.“It is indeed delicious, but not as delicious as you-“Gkk!”“Are you okay?”I immediately took the
Roxxane’s Point of View“Does that mean you have already done something that will make us expect a child from you, my lady?”I froze. My skin reddening with embarrassment and my eyes wandered off, trying to look for a possible answer to such a pride-degrading question.“A- I-I yes?”It came off more like an unserious question than an answer. I mentally slapped myself. ‘Why on Earth do I have to be so stupid?! And why in this world am I the one facing this kind of unpleasant humiliating situation? Where is Alexander?’Hephe merely nodded in response. Hiding his expression from me as he straightly went to bow after. I didn’t have to wait if he was going to give off some rude or rational comments so I already ran away. But in a walking manner, so as to not make him realize how much embarrassed I am.Arriving quickly at my room, I mean, the room where I woke up, I found Arshana already sleeping. Her head pillowed at my bedside as her body sat on the floor. ‘Aww, she looked so tired yet st
“My lady, can I have a moment with you?”The abrupt request from a familiar man, I think his name was Hephe, halted my happy little meal with Arshana.“Yes?”He looked briefly at Arshana which made me read his silent order.“Arshana, you can eat here first, I will join you later.”“Oh,” she also passed her gaze to Hephe for a moment before nodding. “Okay.”We walked for a couple of meters before arriving at a secluded yet open ground. Carved statues of prominent faces are standing everywhere. ‘Wait, where are we?’ I thought we were still in the camps. Did the-‘“Do you still remember me, my lady?”“Of course, why wouldn’t I? I also think you’re the one who I saw last, the night before I was imprisoned in my abduction. Am I mistaken?”He smiled slightly before wiggling his head. “No, my lady.”“How should I thank you?”He was taken aback by my sudden question of his desire for payment in return, but he retained his slight smile and went silent for a moment.“Perhaps you can consider ou
Roxxane's Point of View"So do you mean that throughout my abduction, almost all of you were in misery and frenzy?"Arshana incessantly nodded. "But that is nothing compared to Alpha's."'Why?""He is beyond himself. He didn't let anyone sleep until they have something important to report to him regarding your whereabouts. He alerted every Kingdom that he will be inspecting their territory. Which is, in all odds, against the Law of Agreement. Because it will violate the proprietorship and authority rights of the other werewolves. But here he is, the rising most powerful Alpha, demanding a search of action to be implemented in different states. No one expects that at all because throughout our era, no one ever did such influential yet threatening act.""I don't think that's a good idea right?""It....well, the vote is halved. I heard some talking that it is very absurd to do that, but others argue that it is just right. To make everyone feel the rage of the greatest Alpha and must know
