As I waited for a response, I felt a sense of anticipation building inside me. What would Moonridge Academy be like? Would I fit in? Would I be able to leave my past behind and start anew? The questions swirled in my mind, but I pushed them aside, focusing on the excitement and hope that had been sparked within me.

For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a chance to take control of my life, to forge a new path and create a better future for myself. And I was ready to take it.

I walked downstairs, my heart pounding in my chest. I had made up my mind to accept the offer from Moonridge Academy, and I was determined to tell my family about it.

As I entered the kitchen, I was met with the usual cold atmosphere. My stepmother, Victoria, was busy making breakfast, her eyes fixed on the stove as if I wasn't even there. My father sat at the table, his eyes distant and ashamed. Brielle, on the other hand, was sipping her coffee, a smug smile plastered on her face.

"Good morning," I said, trying to break the ice. Victoria didn't even acknowledge my presence, while my father muttered a faint "good morning" without looking up. Brielle just rolled her eyes and continued sipping her coffee.

I took a deep breath and decided to get straight to the point.

"I have some news to share," I said, my voice firm. "I've been accepted into a new school, Moonridge Academy. I'm going to be transferring there."

Victoria's eyes flicked towards me, a mixture of surprise and annoyance on her face.

"What are you talking about?" she asked, her voice dripping with disdain. "You think you can just leave and go to some new school? After everything that's happened?"

"Yes, I can," I said, standing my ground. "And I will. I'm done with this place, and I'm done with all the drama and stress that's been suffocating me. Moonridge Academy is offering me a fresh start, and I'm taking it."

Brielle snorted, her smile growing wider.

"Good luck with that," she said, her voice laced with sarcasm. "You'll probably get kicked out of that school too."

My father's eyes finally met mine, a mixture of sadness and disappointment in them.

"Isla, are you sure this is what you want?" he asked, his voice soft.

"Yes, Dad, I'm positive," I said, trying to reassure him. "This is my chance to start over, to leave all the drama behind and focus on my future. I'm not going to waste it."

Victoria's face turned red with anger. "You're just going to run away, aren't you?" she spat. "You think you can just leave all your problems behind and start fresh? You're not even taking responsibility for your actions."

"I am taking responsibility," I said, my voice rising. "I'm taking responsibility for my life, and I'm choosing to move forward. You can't understand that, can you? You're too busy playing the victim and manipulating everyone around you."

Brielle's smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

"You're just jealous," she said, her voice venomous. "You're jealous of me and my relationship with Adrian."

I laughed, a cold, hard laugh. "you're just being delusional. You have no idea what you're talking about, Brielle," I said. "I'm not jealous of you or your twisted relationship with Adrian. I'm just done with all the lies and the drama. And I'm leaving."

The kitchen fell silent, the tension between us palpable. Victoria's face was twisted in anger, while my father's eyes were filled with a mixture of sadness and resignation. Brielle's smile had faltered, and for a moment, I saw a glimmer of uncertainty in her eyes.

But I didn't care. I had made up my mind, and I was going to follow through with it. I was going to take control of my life, and I was going to make a new future for myself. No matter what.

My father's face twisted in a mix of emotions, his voice laced with a deep sadness.

"Fine, Isla. If this is what you want, then do it. But know this: once you leave this house, you'll be on your own. Don't come back here expecting open arms or a safety net. You're making a choice to leave, and you'll have to live with the consequences."

I felt a pang in my chest, hearing the pain in his voice. It was clear that he was hurt, and I knew that my decision was causing him distress. But I also knew that I had to do what was best for me.

"You're dishonoring me, Isla, I mean even if I said you shouldn't go, you will still do whatever you like." he said, his voice cracking with emotion. "You're choosing to walk away from our family and our values. I don't know what I did wrong, but I guess it's clear that I failed you somehow."

Brielle, on the other hand, was beaming with joy. She laughed, a cold, triumphant sound that sent a shiver down my spine.

"This is perfect," she said, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "You'll be out of our lives, and we can finally move on."

My father nodded, his eyes welling up with tears. "Yes, Isla. If you're going to leave, then leave for good. Don't look back. You're making a choice, and you'll have to live with it."

I felt a lump form in my throat as I looked at my father, seeing the pain and disappointment etched on his face. I knew that this was it, this was the end of our relationship as I knew it. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come.

"I understand," I said, my voice firm. "I'll leave, and I won't be back. But know this, Dad: I'm not doing this because I want to hurt you. I'm doing this because I have to. I have to take care of myself, and I have to move on with my life."

My father's face crumpled, and he looked away, unable to meet my gaze. Brielle, on the other hand, was still smiling, her eyes gleaming with triumph.

"Good riddance," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

I turned to leave, but my father's words stopped me in my tracks.

"Isla, wait," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "There's something I need to tell you... something that could change everything, something about your mother."

  • Marked By The Moon: Tied To The Four Alphas   103. I Wouldn’t Dare

    PRESIDENT RYDERI grunted, the pressure of the elder's domain making it hard to speak. "The academy... was under attack," I managed to get out.The elder in red robes leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. "And?" he prompted, his voice cold and unforgiving.I sighed, feeling a weight of guilt and responsibility. "I failed to protect the students... and Lucian was taken."The elders' faces were shocked, their eyes wide with surprise and concern. They exclaimed in unison, their voices overlapping as they spoke.The yellow elder stopped his domain, and I was able to breathe again. "How is this possible?" he asked, his voice laced with incredulity. "What origin is the beast that attacked the academy? Was it one of Darius'?"I hesitated, knowing that the truth would not be easy to hear. "It was a level 200 and counting omega wolf," I replied, my voice steady. "And yes, I believe it was sent by Darius."“An omega wolf?” The elders' faces turned grave, their expressions darkening with anger and

  • Marked By The Moon: Tied To The Four Alphas   102. Are You About To Lie To Us

    PRESIDENT RYDERI nodded, my expression serious. The pack elders didn't summon me lightly, and I knew that this meeting would be important."I'll go with them," I said to Jace and Elias, my voice firm. "Let's see what the pack elders want."The pack slaves straightened, their movements fluid and synchronized. They gestured for me to follow them, and I nodded, falling into step behind them. We left the room, heading towards the pack elders' chambers.The pack elders' chambers were located in a remote area, far away from the school. It was a journey that would take about a day on foot, so we had to take a carriage to get there. As we set off, I couldn't help but feel a sense of worry and unease.Had the pack elders already known about the incident with the beast? Had they heard about how it had almost destroyed the whole school? I wondered if they would be angry with me for not telling them immediately.As we rode in the carriage, I couldn't shake off the memories of the fight. I kept s

  • Marked By The Moon: Tied To The Four Alphas   101. You’ve Been Summoned

    PRESIDENT RYDERI slowly regained consciousness, groggily opening my eyes to find myself in a dimly lit room. The pack healers were gathered around me, their hands glowing with a soft, pulsing light as they channeled their power to mend my wounds.I felt a wave of relief wash over me as their energy coursed through my body, repairing the damage that had been done. My muscles relaxed, my breathing steadied, and my mind cleared.The attack from that omega beast wolf had been brutal, and I could feel the lingering effects of the poison that Eya had injected into Lucian's system. But the pack healers were working tirelessly to purge the toxin from my system.As their power continued to flow through me, I felt my body start to repair itself. My strength began to return, my senses sharpened, and my thoughts clarified.But despite the healing energy, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and worry that had been weighing on me. Lucian had been taken by the wolf, and I had been unable to s

  • Marked By The Moon: Tied To The Four Alphas   100. A Hybrid

    LICIAN"Who are you, really?" I growled, my eyes narrowing as I took in Eya's confident stance.She smiled, a hint of amusement in her voice. "I'm Eya Lin, a hybrid. A witch and an alpha wolf."Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. A hybrid? A witch and an alpha wolf? I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. How could we have been so blind?I thought back to when she first arrived at the academy, and how easily she had fit in. We had accepted her without question, without sensing the power that lay beneath her surface.The Luna Sphere, our governing body, was supposed to be able to detect such anomalies. But it seemed they had failed in Eya's case.I felt a mix of emotions: shock, anger, and a hint of fear. What other secrets was she hiding? And what did she plan to do with her power?Eya's smile grew wider, and she took a step closer to me. "You should have been more careful who you accepted into your little school, Lucian," she said, her voice dripping with amusement.I snarled, my

  • Marked By The Moon: Tied To The Four Alphas   99. She’s A Witch!

    LICIANI grunted, my breath coming in ragged gasps as I sprinted through the forest. I had to find shelter and food, and fast. I had left Isla behind, and I knew I had to be quick. The trees blurred together as I ran, my senses on high alert.I could feel Isla's eyes on me, her gaze piercing and intense.I had marked her, claimed her as my own, but I knew what she was. The Omega Reborn. A being of immense power and strength. And I had been foolish enough to think I could control her.But now, I was scared. Terrified, even. Isla's power was unlike anything I had ever seen before. She was like a force of nature, unstoppable and unyielding.I finally found a small cave, hidden away from the rest of the world. It would have to do. I made a mental note of its location, knowing I'd have to come back for Isla.Next, I needed to find food. I ventured deeper into the forest, my senses on high alert. The trees seemed to loom over me like sentinels, their branches creaking ominously in the wind.

  • Marked By The Moon: Tied To The Four Alphas   98. Coming For Us

    EYAI nodded, a smile still playing on my lips. "Let's head back," I said, my voice confident.Adrian's eyes narrowed, his gaze searching. "Are you sure about that?" he asked, his voice laced with doubt.I felt a thrill of excitement, my heart racing with anticipation. I was happy with the crazy plan I had plotted, and I knew this was going to happen. I had anticipated Isla's reaction, and I had planned accordingly.I looked at Adrian, my eyes locked on his. "Don't you trust me?" I asked, my voice playful.Adrian's expression was skeptical. "I don't," he said, his voice flat. "Didn't we just tell Isla and Ruby we'd be on our way?"I could feel the worry on Adrian's face, his eyes trying to read mine, to find out what I was planning. But I wasn't going to give him any hints. I just smiled, my face a mask of confidence.Adrian's eyes searched mine, trying to find out what was going on in my mind. But I was a master of control, and I wasn't going to let him in. Not yet, at least.“Let’s
