“Alright, the meeting can begin now.”Regan gazed at her surprisingly. Her attitude shocked him. First she had arrived late, now she was acting so…bold. As much as he loved this new her, he couldn't help but be worried.“You kept us waiting yet you just command us to begin.” Alpha Johan scoffed disdainfully, his face contorted in anger.“I apologize for my lateness your dignitaries, but if we linger on my lateness too much, time won’t be on our side.” ivorie said in a calm tone.This only made Alpha Johan seeth the more, he sat up, “This is unacceptable! You can't just keep us all waiting like…”“Then what would you have her do, alpha Johan? She has already apologised for her lateness, you are simply the one dragging us back.” One of the Dukes said.“Alpha Regan, is this how noble women dress in your pack?” Alpha Jared, the fat Alpha asked, his tiny eyes squinted into a frown. “In my pack, women who dresses this way cannot be considered as nobles.” He added scornfully.“Well, good thi
Jenna had a look of utter jealousy on her face as she glared at Regan who was staring openly at Ivorie.‘Why is she showing off? I have all that knowledge as well.’ she said in her thoughts, wishing she was given all the attention Ivorie had.She wanted to be the one sitting next to Regan. She wanted to be his wife, she wanted his attention. She wanted to be the Luna.But no, Ivorie got it instead. And it pained her so much. All her life, she had grown to know that nothing good comes for free. And it had been her sole aim to attain great heights by working really hard.Ever since Alpha Arthur appointed her as Duchess, she knew she was on her way to greatness and that was just the beginning.However, she fell hard for Regan – something she hadn't expected could happen.She had been so scared to just declare her love for him then and chose to show it. Maybe he would realise it and give her a chance. She had no intention to make him fall for her just so she could become Luna. She was si
Clanks of spoons and dishes rented the air in the meeting hall. The meeting was partially over and all the dignitaries were busy dining. Various Cresthowl delicacies were being served in surplus and it absolutely contradicted the scarcity issue the pack was facing generally.As the dignitaries ate, music was being played in the background by a band of instrumentalists. They knew the right music to play, ones befitting the occasion. The way they blended from one music to the other with so much harmony gave the atmosphere serenity.“So, Luna Ivorie, I was wondering; how many siblings do you have?” Alpha Silas, who had taken a liking to Ivorie asked her politely as he gulped wine from a tankard.“Well,” Ivorie began, smiling warmly, “I have three siblings, all ladies. Although I sometimes think we're not siblings because they don't seem to like me that much, hahaha.” She said with giggle.Alpha Silas laughed boisterously too, knowing she was only joking.Even though Ivorie knew her siste
“That isn't why I decided to come.” He said and stopped before Regan. He looked straight into his eyes that it seemed he was trying to hypnotise him.He was quite taller than Regan, Ivorie noticed. His hair was even darker than Regan's which gave him a much darker ambience.“Don’t think I have forgotten about what happened that night, Regan.” He said in his husky tone. Ivorie stood close to Regan hoping the closeness would warm off the chill from the scarred alpha's tone.“Then why are you here?” Regan asked in an equally menacing tone. Ivorie could feel the power tussle in the air. The auras of two Alphas clashing before her, a wolfless Luna.“It’s simply because it's my duty.” Alpha Clawn finally said, breaking the silence.Regan raised a brow at him.“My ancestor pledged alliance with your ancestor, Alpha Balor. To always aid your pack in times of need when called upon. That oath has been passed down through generations in my pack. I will uphold the oath by aiding you, but I will n
“Is that enough, Luna?” Asked Grace immediately she placed a tray of food on the stool in front of Ivorie.“Yes, it is. Thank you.” Ivorie answered. She had already shed off her evening dress. She was now clad in a pale green shift gown for the night.“Is everything alright, Luna?” Grace asked, seeing that Ivorie hadn't begun eating.The latter exhaled, sitting upright. “I'm fine,” she said with a faint smile.“I'm just thinking about what has been happening lately,” she said, her voice low and thoughtful. Grace listened to her attentively.“There's this feeling that something dangerous is coming and I can't shake it off.” She said, gesturing with her hands.Grace shrugged, “I’m sure the Moon Goddess will protect you Luna.” She said assuredly.Ivorie's shoulders slumped, “I hope so.” She sighed, resting her jaw in her palm.“Now you need to eat and sleep, there might be more Luna work for you tomorrow.” Grace said.Ivorie nodded, “You're right, thank you, Grace.” She said gratefully.
“That is impossible!” Regan's voice rang out immediately the maid spoke.“I’ll advise that we listen to what the maid has to say, Alpha.” Elder Callen suggested. Regan sighed.“You may continue.”“It was late in the evening, all…of the guests had gone to their chambers…I…I was returning from the warriors’ quarters…where… where I went to…to deliver fo…food. T…that's when I saw her…” the maid stuttered fearfully, fiddling with her fingers.“So?” Regan waved his hands, “she could be heading anywhere!” He protested.“I saw her going into the guests' block, Alpha.” The maid argued subtly.Regan gritted his teeth.“Her mother is in the guests' block!” Regan protested again, trying really hard to defend Ivorie here. To him, it was totally impossible for her to take someone’s life.“Then let's ask her mother if she was with her the previous night.” One of the Elders suggested, the others nodded but Regan rolled his eyes.“Beta Estan can mindlink the guard assigned to her chamber.” The elder s
“We have to find out who really did it, Alpha, because I know she can't be the one.” Estan said, pacing around the now empty courtroom.Regan was seated at the other side of the table, looking at the open sky through the wide windows.He was deep in thought. A conflict within him about Ivorie being detained.He knew within himself that she wasn't the actual culprit but the question was, did he really want to help her out of the situation?“Alpha? Alpha!” Estan snapped him out of his trance. Regan shifted on his seat and turned to face his Beta.“Why didn't you say anything to stop the Elders?” He asked with arched brows.Regan released a deep breath, “I don't know if I want to.” He drawled softly.Estan's eyebrows shot up in surprise and confusion.“You're not sure? She's your Luna and she surely wasn't the real culprit!” Estan remarked still in daze of how his Alpha was acting.“I know,” Regan said, all this while, his head was lowered, “but do you remember what my initial intention
“Shadowland pack won't stop sending letters requesting for their Alpha.” Elder Callen stated as he took his seat opposite Regan. “They're beginning to add threats.” He added, narrowing his eyes at Regan. “Well, we can't just tell them their Alpha is dead!” Regan bursted out. Elder Callen shrugged. Regan hummed thoughtfully, before saying, “Just send a letter in Alpha Silas' name.” He said with a wave of his hand. “What…should I write?” Asked Elder Callen. Regan sighed, “Just tell them he wants to stay a few more weeks to help our pack out in some business.” He said. Elder Callen nodded slowly. “What?” Asked Regan with an arched brow. “Nothing,” Elder Callen shrugged, “I'll get to it, Alpha.” And with that, he was up to his feet and out of Regan's office. The latter released a deep breath as soon as the Elder stepped out. The letters and complaints from Alpha Silas' pack were already getting too much for him to bear. He had other important things to attend to and a guest’s su
