181Alyssa’s Pov“Why did you pause? What happened next?” I asked, curiosity burning inside of me.“That’s because we can’t use the whole day to tell my story. At least, not yet. I’ll like to have some rest as I’m really exhausted right now.”As much as I really wanted to hear her story till the end, I understood that she had to sleep and get her energy back.“Alright, it’s fine. Maybe in the evening or some time tomorrow.”“Yeah, sure.” Tara replied, then rose to her feet and walked towards the door, then she left.Although, I could sense a little gloominess from her and that was probably because she was telling a story that probably ended sadly as she is no longer with that Alpha.Tara’s PovIt was quite a lot having to tell Alyssa my story, but just because I wanted to cheer her up and also let her know that no situation lasts forever, and who knew, she could find herself somewhere else apart from this pack, being showered with love and attention.As I got to my room, I walked slow
180Tara’s Pov“Are you okay?” Alpha Dorris asked, noticing the tight look on my face and my head whipped towards him.“Yeah. Yes, I’m fine. Do I look pale or something?” I asked, picking up a strawberry from the tray of fruits next to me.“No. You look beautiful.” He told me and I smiled as I popped the strawberry into my mouth. The strawberry was juicy and I felt better as its sweet taste traveled down my throat.I looked back to where Mia had been only to find that shaSurely she couldn’t try poisoning the Alpha and his Luna could she? There was no way she could do that.The night wore on and after about two hours of eating, I already felt like my corset was trying to squeeze the life out of me. When everyone had talked and laughed, they resumed dancing and doing different things. Jokers did tricks for I, and Alpha Dorris. Tricks that made Alpha Dorris crane his neck from his seat, trying to see better, tricks that made me laugh out in disbelief, trying to figure out how they had d
179Tara’s PovMy eyes lingered on the knife and when she saw I was distracted by it, she smiled, and waved it around before going towards the sink to wash her hands.“You must be having one hell of a good night, Luna.” She drawled, still washing her hands. My eyes drifted to the knife on the sink, and even though I was a little scared that she could decide to be reckless at any moment due to her jealousy, I decided to stand firm.“Yeah, you figured that out. How smart.” I replied, going to the sink to wash my own hands like she was doing.“Smart.” She muttered, picking up the knife and holding it to the light.“Yeah, I’m usually a little sad, but today, I understand the true fun of royal celebration. Today has really been funny and for the first time, I discovered Alpha Dorris can be really fun, humorous and romantic.” I told her like she was a best friend I was telling the details of my electric night to.Her expression stiffened and she took out an apple from her dress which appare
178Tara’s PovI went into the bathtub once more, scrubbing my body so I could smell only like flowers as Tina wanted.My dress was a magnificent sapphire, its stunning blue seemed to cut across my heart. In place of sleeves, it had single strands made of pearls that fell down my shoulders, encircling my arms and dazzling against my skin.The curve in the front revealed a little of my cleavage, just enough to draw attention and smiles my way. I watched as Tina did her thing which she was definitely an expert at.She draped all manner of pearls around my neck and decorated my wrists with bracelets made of rare gems that sparkled whenever it caught the light.She tended to my feet and nails, decorating them and cleaning them up. When she was done with them, we worked on the corset under the dress and it was so tight, I felt she was trying to make me throw up the last thing I ate.After that, she rubbed red paint on my lips, I patted them together as she had asked, and she smiled at me.
177Tara’s PovI didn’t mind going to the Fiery Moon Kingdom at that time just to check on Ray, my friend. Afterall, he was a very good friend of mine, and I still had some hours before the celebrations began.My eyes lingered on the corner for a while, the soft breeze coming through my open window tickling my ears as they whistled past, and I decided that it wouldn’t hurt to check on him.I called for Tina and she came immediately.“You called, Luna.” She said, with a little bow.“Can you help me set up a quick bath? And an evening gown too.” I told her and her eyes held curiosity for a while before she blinked and nodded. She didn’t ask any questions, she just went into my bath area and started with the task I gave her.When she was done, she called me in and I took off my clothes, replacing them with a bathrobe before walking into the bathroom.She had filled my bath with roses and they made me smile as a soft scent filled my nostrils. My bathrobe slid to the well polished tile and
176Tara’s Pov“Luna, did I just hear Alpha Dorris say you can now move into the Luna’s room? That’s good news.” Tina squealed in excitement.I tried hard not to blush, but I couldn’t help it. I had to blush. I could imagine how red, Mia’s face would have gotten when Alpha Dorris ordered the maids to move me in to my rightful room.“Luna, how did you do it? What happened while you were in the human world?” Tina asked, out of curiosity.“Well, I guess because we spent more time together, probably that’s why we kind of saw things we didn’t see before.” I explained to her as we walked into the mystery room.The mystery wing looked so different, and strange, and that’s because it’s been a while since I walked in here. I glanced at the garden, and smiled. I remember when I would sit there, unhappy about the things going on currently.I sat down on the couch, and leaned my back on it, feeling relaxed.“This feels so relaxing.” I said as I exhaled, closing my eyes to feel the sweetness of co
