Sloana’s POVThings were going wrong. She had thought she had won Alan by at least two shots. But how had things gone so wrong? Hiding in one of her secret cabins in the woods, she refused to back down. Her parents were also with her in the room as she paced the length of the room. She would not back down like this. All her life was in Zang City: her prestige, her honour, her title as the Luna of the pack. She was not giving that up ever.
Alan wanted the party to be the best, so he lifted the forced lockdown Maska Zang had imposed on the city. Both humans and werewolves were free to roam around. The festive mood further cheered the residents up, including humans. Alan made sure to employ many of them in planning the festival, which had a lot to do with dancing and eating. The Luna Moon Festival celebration took place at night when the moon was out; it was a special night dedicated to the Luna of the pack. This was to recognize her authority and ensure the continual submission to her authority by the pack.The pack wolves were surprised that Alan allowed the festival to take place. Many suspected it was due to the recent murder charge against him, and they were not quiet with their observations, though they were sensible enough not to confront him with it.Alan solved the murder by obtaining the CCTV footage, or whatever was left of it. that Sloana wasnt smart enough to tamper with. Through that, he was able to prove th
Just to be sure she was not faking it, Alan got close to Sloana and saw she was still breathing, her form changed gradually back to her human form, and in a pool of her blood.Seeing as she was fast fading off, Alan left her there and sat beside her. That was where Jordan found them. Jordan was in his human form and he had a set of clean clothes in his hands for Alan to change into. Alan hesitated to do that until he was sure Sloana was no longer breathing.
News of the war had flittered to Julian's pack, and they were not good news. Jordan had arrived earlier and was in a close meeting with Maska Zang. She was not a werewolf and could not hear them and those darn werewolves were good at not being heard if they didn't want it.Using a hand to support her stomach, Sophia left her room and began walking the expanse of the courtyard. She knew Fega had her in her line of sight but the wolf was not seen. She had been focused on something latel
After storming out of the house, Alan had no destination in mind, but Eddie ordered him to a restaurant as feeding his stomach was his main navigator. The wolves they met at the restaurant all greeted Alan warmly, with some even getting bold enough to ask about Sophia and when Alan was bringing her back. Alan replied to them all good-naturedly, though he did not give out Sophia’s condition to anyone. Eddie, however, hurried to a table, ignoring all the leering stares that were directed at him. Alan sat next to him unable to eat, he thanked their teen waitress and gave her a generous tip. The girl smiled happily as she left them.
Sophia repeated to herself over and over again, "Mama has to be alright! Mama's gonna be alright!" She wiped the dining table clean, although it was already spotless, and furrowed her brow, frustration evident as she tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear. Beads of sweat covered her chest as she worked, she had no time to rest.Suddenly, her best friend and co-worker, Becky, coughed loudly, snapping Sophia out of her thoughts. Becky was in the same grade at school as Sophia and lived in the same neighbourhood. She knew all about Sophia's troubles and why she had been feeling down lately."The head chef needs you in the kitchen," whispered Becky as she rushed by Sophia, carrying a tray of food. The aroma from the tray made Sophia's stomach grumble, and she realized that she had not had time to eat yet. Unfortunately, eating was not allowed during work hours.Sophia smoothed down her short working gown and made her way to the kitchen. The head chef was stir-frying spaghetti w
Walking to work the next morning, Sophia made sure she left early so that she would arrive on time. The sky was still dark when she left home. Chef Bob wanted the place sparkling clean at all times. Every table should be so clean that one could see their reflection on them.The sky was yet to clear up properly. Sophia could see a few joggers and stretchers lining the walkway, so she felt a bit safer. However, the neighbourhood was not entirely safe, and she had to be careful at all times. With the Zang Packhouse just a few blocks away, she had every reason to be wary. Werewolves and humans always fought over who owns what and who has more rights to enter what place. Their popular form of fighting was over a girl. Sophia knew her own body was a huge attraction, which is why she made sure to wear loose clothing on her way to work. She would then change into her uniform at work where they could not touch her inappropriately.While walking by the Zang Packhouse, she could see several blac
