CHAPTER 1
MARA’S POVAs I breathed in the scent of the morning dew, I was filled with pure joy: finally, the chance to let Gretel run wild freely. Stripping down, I changed into my wolf form, Gretel and I surrendered to the thrill of racing through the trees. I glimpsed the reflection of my wolf as I dashed by a stream, a sense of freedom enveloped me, even as Gretel howled out her excitement at our run. I felt guilty at keeping her caged most of the time.I wanted to bring her out but I barely even had time to sleep as I was always rushing to one part time job or the other.As if on cue, my phone began to ring."Not again?! You promised to let me run today" Gretel whined"I'm really sorry Gretel" I said, "but we are broke right now and we need a LOT of money" Gretel groaned in frustration," fine" she said before turning to sprint back in the direction we came from. I had changed back to my human form and dressed up as fast as I could before carrying my bag and rushing off to work. Thankfully I got to work on time. There were a lot of customers there already, most of them patronized to gain favor from the Beta who actually owns the restaurant.Mara!” A sharp voice called from behind me, startling me into almost dropping the cup I was holding. Save for my quick reflexes, I would have added another item to my list of expenses.“Mr Bowman? What can I do for you?” I answered, turning to him with a fake smile plastered on my face.“Why is the inventory I asked you to restock not done?”“Sir, I started it but you asked me to drop it and go serve the customers since the store was busy.” I answered, stopping myself in time from rolling my eyes.“Excuses! If you were half as good as your sister, I wouldn’t have to tell you what you can and can’t do. You would be able to manage your time and get your work done. Such a pity she isn’t here anymore.”What the fuck did he just say ? Did this pig say that on purpose to insult me ?This wasn’t the first time I was being compared to my sister .Still, I couldn’t let him see that it affected me or he would keep on mentioning it just for fun.My fists clenched in frustration and I was itching to give him a punch, but since I know how it was going to end I just held myself back and replied him with my head bowed, "I'm sorry sir, I will get it done now" and turned to go to the storeroom.I closed the door behind me, run my hand through my hair as I leaned against the door, trying to push my thoughts to the back of my mind.Calm down Gretel, we really need this job I said trying to calm my wolf.Ding. I heard my phone ringing. I picked up my rustic secondhand phone to go through the new email.Dear Miss Mara Wilson,We are sending you a message to remind you that the deadline for the payment of tuition is in three weeks, February 28. Failure to pay means automatic forfeiture of your admission. We hope to hear from you at the soonest date.The registrar,Crescent University.Staring at the phone that I saved money for a long time to buy , I sighed , again .How could I have saved so much money before 28th?최신 챕터
Orphan to Luna: The Alpha's Substitute Bride chapter
Rhys's eyes were locked onto Mara’s irises as she held onto her silver flowing dress, with a soft smile creased on her face as she walked down the stairs.He couldn't help but stare at how beautiful she looked, walking down the stairs, graced in her beautiful silver dress.She was truly breathtaking, with her long red hair wrapped around in long waves with a small ribbon placed right on top. Her well-defined juicy lips with the upper lip almost in the shape of a heart that lingered a sweet, caring smile painted with deep crimson lipstick, and her pinkish cheeks and small apart little freckles all came into view when she came up close to Rhys. The space between them slowly closed up as the music by the garden sort of increased when he grabbed her by the hand.“You…” Rhys stuttered, staring into her eyes unable to look away. He’d slowly gone lost in them. Just when she etched closer, he leaned forward whispering into her ears. “You look so beautiful,” He said, with a smile creaesd on

Rhy’s POV Two rogues came barreling in. They were running right for me as I ducked taking both rogues down to the floor in seconds making sure to have them both wounded.I watched both rogues squirming on the floor as they clenched their throats and then I knelt on the floor and started shifting, seeing that I was slowly getting outnumbered. I stepped forward and then grabbed one of them stepping over top of him. And then I bared my teeth into his flesh, growling, forcing a permanent hole as I had him killed instantly as the others stood by watching the scene. A lot of rogue men hurried my way, coming in groups of four, and twos headed in my direction.My eyes for some annoying reason, slowly had its color changed under the influence of me being completely angry over the fact that she was being taken away by Giovanni and I was getting attacked by some unknown rogue men.“Where the hell are they coming from?” I scowled, trying to make my way through angry rogue men as they attacked.

RHYS POVMy knuckles gripped the steering wheel, turning white as I imagined all the ways I'd kill whoever must have done this.I wanted to make sure his death was so agonizingly painful that when I was done with him, he'd be begging for the blessings of death.Lost In my thoughts of torture, I didn't notice how much time had passed. I recognized the area immediately and felt relief pour through me as I neared the motel.I pulled up to the garage, squinting through the dark as I hopped out of my car. I walked close to the building, holding up my flashlight in the air.As I walked into the building, I realized there happened to be no locks on the door. I had my foot against the door, and in seconds the door creaked open.I flashed my light in the direction of the dark, knowing down my guts that it was somewhat dangerous being out here all alone. But I didn't care…Mara was all I cared about.I trudged further into the dark, with my eyes locked on the empty hallways up ahead. I wondered

Rhys POVI watched Talia walking out of the mansion quietly, a couple of days later. Her movements seemed quite suspicious as she hopped into her zooming off.I couldn't stand my Wolf from growling at the thought of her knowing something about Mara’s disappearance.I decided to follow her to find out where she was headed. The fact that I could have her whereabouts tracked by her scent made it quite easier.She took about four turns and then into an unknown part of the city before stopping in front of a bar. A bar is known only to be visited, by rebellions.“What the hell is she doing here?” I whispered to myself as I parked a few meters away from her, making sure to take full cover.I peeped through the rearview mirror of my car and saw that there was a black Benz parked behind me, blocking me from driving out. I lowered my head, to avoid being caught in the game.My eyes widened in shock at the realization of whom it was that had stepped out of the car.The one man I never imagined I

RHY’S POV I had my head lowered as I rummaged through the papers on my desk. I tried extremely hard to focus but the conversation from a couple of weeks ago with Yara, kept whirling in my head. “Go on,” My voice was short and my eyes never left the stack of papers. Ignoring the fact that I’d been on one paragraph for the last couple of hours. “We’ve already upped patrol on the border, but still no sign of her,” Dante spoke up, distressed all over his face as he stared back at me.“I'm open to more orders,” He added, as I leaned back in the chair keeping my eyes low.“We stay on the course, we stay scouting, we have to keep searching,” I said frustratingly.“We can't be sitting ducks, we have to do something—” I grimaced but then paused, the minute I realized I was beginning to over react.It had been a couple of months since she’d suddenly disappeared. A couple of months since we had dinner together and a couple of months since I’ve seen her smile.“Perhaps we could send out a few
