"There she is," Calhoun announced as she walked into the dining room. "Looking so comfortable."Maryanne glared at him until she sat down. The only space that was left for her was beside him and it's not like she would have sat down elsewhere, to begin with."Princess," Michael called.Maryanne scoffed at him. "you called me last night and didn't dare to inform me of your visit?""Well... In my defense, I think I did tell you that I'd speak to you this morning. Yes or yes?""Liar!" Maryanne whined. "You all are liars. Hi Mom." She smiled.Sally smiled shyly. "Hello, darling." Sometimes Maryanne wondered if that was how she was supposed to behave if she became the Luna. Was she supposed to smile so shyly all the time and blush at every kind word spoken to her?"Well, maybe I should just go and clean up a bit more." She said, getting up again. Calhoun placed his hand on her arm. She glanced at him."No need, sit." He said. "It's just breakfast and it's with family.""My teachers said-"
Was it surprising that her mother had praised Calhoun for giving her such a luxurious room? Yes. Yes, it was very surprising. Sally's definition of luxurious wasn't like this. Maryanne didn't know how she felt about it."Mom!" Maryanne demanded. "How can you even say that?""Oh darling, he is taking good care of you!" Sally said softly. "Come on, show me around."She sighed. They started their journey around the castle, she was telling her mother stories about what she had been taught by her teachers.Sally found it interesting. "Oh, dear! Even I don't know about the history of your father's pack.""Really Mom?" Maryanne asked in surprise. "I never knew that.""Well, now you know." Sally said, chuckling lightly. "oh but don't tell your father, he would flip."Maryanne smirked. "I knew there was a catch. Oh but Mom, I can't wait for this month to pass. I want to familiarize myself with the company.""At least I can have some fun things to do before I get married and start a family."Sa
Two weeks later.Maryanne was so excited about her next lesson. She assumed that Alpha Avraz's story was interesting, but the next Alpha's story was more. She was excited to learn all about Calhoun and his history.Calhoun would always stand on the balcony and watch her train. He could see how well she was doing and it made him happy. Most times, he would leave the other things he had to do just to watch her train in the backyard."Lady An, you are doing a great job! I'm so proud of you!""Thank you lady Itzel."She finished her training for the day and returned to her room. Tanya was there to serve her dinner."Where is Calhoun?" She asked."Alpha Calhoun has gone out to fight," Tanya said. "He said I should refrain from telling you so that you would not get worried."She nodded. "Thank you, Tanya."Tanya nodded. "Anything else you might need, lady An?"Maryanne was almost tired. She had been called An by everyone else just because Calhoun called her by that name. Did she need anythi
It could have been anyone at all, why did it have to be Florencia Douglas? Why did it always have to be her? Every time she felt she had finally gotten close to Thomas, Florencia was always lurking somewhere, especially with Matilda Donovan, Thomas's mother, and the Luna of the evergreen pack.Maryanne sighed. She had left her wealth and her glorious family background to come and live and work with Thomas Donovan who had been her crush and obsession since her college days. Thomas was a bully and he was rude, yet she still managed to fall deeply in love with him. Thomas had never treated her nicely except he wanted her to teach Florencia something she was able to master about the computers in their company. Maryanne was a true prodigy in computers but she had somehow trained Florencia to become her rival in the same field all because of her obsession with ThomaMaryanne was in deep pain as she sat on her bed, reading the message that Thomas sent to her. He had asked her to come and pre
Maryanne sat through her flight, unable to wipe the smirk off her face. She had finally taken the first step toward freedom and she was very proud of herself.It was easier than she thought. Perhaps if she trained more, she would be able to control a lot of people to do her bidding, just like Matilda.The good thing was that not everyone knew about it. Only her older brother, Michael knew about it. Speaking of which, she had texted him immediately after she arrived at the airport and she was more than certain that he would be awaiting her return. She smiled. Of course, she had been rather foolish to leave her family and visit a fool who didn't appreciate her.The flight ended and she did her checkout. She went to the parking lot and she spotted Michael out easily. Being the Beta's son, he stood out among every man in and around England. She was happy to see him.Michael was equally excited to see his sister. He could see that she had lost a lot of weight and she didn't look as royal a
"Maryanne! Hurry up, the banquet is starting already! You will be introduced soon!" Sally exclaimed softly. If one took a look at Sally, one would assume she is as soft as her voice was. They would never know how strict and hardened she can be. Sally always did everything with top-notch elegance."Mom, what makes you think I heard you?" Maryanne said, walking down the stairs to find her mother, dressed just like royalty should. Her mother was beautiful, and she was happy to have inherited the beauty. Sally grabbed her cheeks softly, patting them. "Just two days at home and you have grown so beautifully! I can't wait to see what happens when he shows up today.""Who?" Maryanne asked.Sally giggled softly, shying away from the question. "Hurry now, we can't be late."Maryanne rolled her eyes. Her mother was just so pretty and petty too."Okay, Mom." She walked out of the house in her fairy dress. She didn't know whose idea it was to make such a dress for her but she loved it. The dres
Thomas smirked at her scowl. Of course, she was surprised too find him there. He was back to take her to go with him."Look who we found. This little sly kitten thinks she can escape the paws of the lion!" Thomas said aloud, attracting the attention of the people around them.Maryanne offered a confused look. "Excuse me? Do I know you?""What?" Thomas whispered. "What do you mean by do you know me? You have lived with me for the past two years!"People began to gasp, and Maryanne smirked."I did? Oh, I've been doing my masters abroad." Maryanne said. "I just bagged my certificate. Perhaps you mistook me for someone else."Thomas scoffed. "Like hell, I would! Aren't you Maryanne?""Everyone here knows that, they know that I am Maryanne and that's just because my father announced my name before now.""So, how can I believe that you have truly met me? Can you say anything about me? Something which wasn't announced here?"It was a fair question. Everyone waited for Thomas's response. They
Sally turned with a scowling face to the crowd. She was about to speak when Calhoun touched her shoulder."Allow me to handle it, Mother." He said. Sally's mood brightened immediately. Calhoun had called her mother. That meant he had accepted her. She smiled at him and nodded.The banquet finally ended and everyone began to disperse into smaller groups of friends and families. Some had left while some remained to congratulate the couple and their families. Thomas had been dissed by his mother and she left him together with Florencia. Thomas was mad and his anger was directed at Maryanne. He turned and found her standing a few feet away from him, right in front of the swimming pool. He smiled wickedly. She seemed to be sad. He walked stealthily over to her and before the girl could turn, he pushed her into the pool. The girl screamed, splashing around the water, trying to keep herself above the water. Thomas was satisfied, he turned and started running away, only to bump into Maryann
