Pularis's POV

We sat at the table for dinner. ‘We’ being me, Grandmother, Susan, and Justin. As we ate, I couldn’t help sneak some glances at Susan and her son, noticing again how close they were to one another, as any mother and son would.

I hastily veered my eyes away, not wanting to get any unwanted attention for staring. Least not by Susan. She I most especially don’t want to offend.

“So Susan. I assume you remember of our plans for later today,” Grandmother asked her, getting Susan’s attention, as she turned to her with a hopeful expression.

“We’re really going to have that training after this?” she asked.

“But of course. That was the plan we agreed upon, was it not? Don’t tell me you had been so exhausted to the point that you forgotten that in your sleep?”

Grandmother was normally a harsh woman, not one to make any sort of jokes, even towards children. To hear her take that light tone towards Susan, it came as a surprise to me. A suprrise that I hid, as I kept my attention on m

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   Memories of the Past

    I remember it like it was yesterday, back when we were juveniles. Back then, one can say that I was born different from my siblings, in an unwanted way. Because of that, not only were there some... 'conflicts' between me and my pack- family included- I was sent away to Grandmother. The only person who was indifferent to me. Treated me like she would anyone else. For the most part, at least. Until an incident occurred that made her want to move me away from the pack.Not something I want to go into detail with.Long story short, one thing led to another during the trip away from home, and I met... 'her'. She was just a little girl, frightened out of her mind. Honestly speaking, I found her more annoying than I do pitiful. And yet, for one reason or another... I couldn't just leave her. I was tempted to, as there were no benefits to helping some kid, who was not even from my pack, nor seemed to be part of an Alpha family, but I didn't. Not when it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.I

    I was snapped back to reality when I reached my office, where I found a guest standing by my desk."Greetings, Alpha," Crystal greeted with a bow."At ease, Beta Crystal," I greeted back, walking to my desk, as she straightened herself back up. "I assume the message has been properly delivered back to headquarters?""Yes, Alpha. Although..."I turned to her with a raised brow at her hesitant tone. "Do we have a problem?""It's not that we have a problem, Alpha. I am only wondering why you care so much."I raised an unamused brow at the statement. "I don't see what is so confusing about me doing my job as a councilman. The sooner we get rid of this pack- of the Alpha who has smeared our title through mud- the better it will be for the rest of us. Or do you wish for me to spare that disgraceful Alpha? And in turn indirectly have all packs know that it was fine for their Alphas to be criminals deep down? For all Alphas to assume that it was perfectly fine for them to slack off on their du

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   To Reawaken the Wolf Within

    Susan's POVAfter dinner, I went with Patricia to the backyard to do my training for my wolf. There was so much space back here, Justin was running about, having the time of his life. Originally, I had planned for him to stay in the mansion, as I did not know how the training would go, but Patricia assured me that there was nothing to fear for him to be nearby. Of course, as neither of us would be able to watch over Justin while we train, so Ayla was assigned to keep watch over him. She who, thankfully, seemed to have forgiven me for what I did to her last night.“Okay, Susan. Before we get started on our training, I want to ask some questions,” Patricia spoke.“Sure. What about?” I asked, wondering if the questions she would be asking would have anything to do with our training."To start, your wolf. Has it never awakened at all, or did it happen at one point that you don't seem to remember?"I became confused with the question she asked me. "Why would that be important?""Just answe

    "I cannot believe how stupid the mutts in this pack are,” Patricia groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose in disappointment.I had just finished explaining my little story about my wolf’s awakening, and what happened after. Both in terms of the poison incident, and how I was unable to shift into my wolf form after that. Patricia was silent the whole time I was telling her my story, her expression unreadable. Halfway through the explanation, I was starting to think that she didn’t believe a word I said, until she finally spoke.“I have heard enough of how blind they are to not say or do anything more to question that Alpha of theirs. For them to go along with his claim about you on top of that without question? Even a pup would find something suspicious about this!” she exclaimed, her face looking quite frightening, as I shifted back a bit. Noticing my action, Patricia took in a breath to calm herself down. “Deep breaths, myself. It is not good for an old soul to get her blood boilin

    I followed Patricia back into the mansion. Once inside, the elder had me follow her to what seemed to be a treatment room. There, she had me sit on a bed, while she prepared some herbs and candles. Some very strong-scented ones, no less."I know you said they were needed, but do we really need to use those herbs and candles?" I asked, trying hard not to scrunch my face from the sharp scent I was smelling. “I thought you said I need to take some kind of special herbs in order for me to connect to my wolf.”"I know these may be a bit too harsh on the nose, believe me I do. However, these are necessary for this practice," Patricia told me, as she lit up some scented candles and placed them around me. The sharp minty scent making me want to plug my nose shut. “The herbs will only lull you to deep sleep. Should you sleep with these scented aroma around you, you will be able to connect to your wolf in your dreams.”I grew confused at the explanation. “Is there a need to take the medicine if

    I awoke to the sound of shouting, my body feeling a little groggy as I opened my eyes. Adjusting to the blurs, I was surprised to find myself surrounded by many other werewolves. All shouting and pointing at me accusingly.“W-What’s… going on?” I asked out loud, unable to make out what was being said.Soon enough, I was finally able to make out the words… and paled from them.“Murderer!”“How could you do that?!”“And you’re supposed to be the Luna?!”Her eyes widened in shock, it donned onto her at last what was happening. A scene she had experienced once before, four years ago.‘This is… That night!’ she realized, feeling someone put their hands on her, and forced her down to the ground.“Arrest her! Don’t you dare even let her try to escape!” I heard. The same words that were used that night.I looked up and saw Duncan glaring down at me, seething in rage. “Duncan…” I muttered out.“Don’t think your status means anything at this point, you slut!” he shouted. “I have been patient en

    My eyes widened as I repeated those words in my head. ‘Mother’? Whose? Couldn’t be mine, could she? I don’t even know this person.“I’m sorry, but I think you’re mistaken. I had a mother, and she certainly wasn’t you,” I kindly corrected her.A sad smile formed on her face when I said that. “I know what I said sounds confusing to you, but I speak the truth,” she assured. Am assurance I didn’t believe.“No, that… that can’t be. You’re just messing with my head. This is another one of those ‘mental trials’ Miss Patricia spoke of, isn’t it? The memory isn’t enough, so now there is someone who looks like an older version of me trying to test and see if I’m worthy of having my wolf.”She held her arms in a peaceful motion. “This is not a test. And while this is not the real world, this also is not your dream world.”Her claim made it all the more confusing to me. “What are you talking about? Where am I then if not in a dream? In fact, why should I even listen to you? For all I know, you co

    When the light faded, I lowered my arms and found myself in the woods. Confused by the sudden change, I turned to ask the spirit woman where she had taken me—only to find she was gone.“Where did she go?!” I wondered, looking around my surroundings in search for the woman, only to find no sign of her anywhere. I took in a breath, hoping I would be able to find her by her scent, only to be reminded that I was not in the real world. As such, out of all my five senses, I could not smell anything here.‘I knew she was only delaying me!’ I thought, a bit peeved at myself for hearing her out. And now because of it, I may have gotten farther away from my wolf than before."Are you sure about this?" I suddenly heard. A voice I did not expect to hear here.“Miss Patricia?" I muttered out, heading towards the source."I already told you, Patricia. There is no other way," answered another voice. This one from the spirit woman, prompting me to quicken my pace.I soon found the two in a secluded a

    Both I and Ashley were shocked with the decision Father made. Ashley, specifically. "W-Wait! You can't do that!" she exclaimed."Seeing as this was bought under the Alpha's name, and what its properties are, I will be doing exactly that. If you have anyone to blame, it is only the two of you. You with your everlasting greed, and you…” Father stopped as he laid eyes on me. The disappointment clear on his face. “I should’ve made my last task as Alpha to change how Alphas are to be selected in this pack.” When those words left his mouth, something in me felt empty. Heavy, that made me lower my head in shame. Father said nothing else after that, and left the room."W-Wait! Father!" Ashley cried out, before turning to me. "Duncan, don't just be silent! W-We have to stop him!"I didn’t know if it was because I was still feeling that shame, but hearing Ashley say that? Something sounded a little suspicious, especially with how she was acting."Why? When that is only poison? What use would

    Duncan's POVI sat in the living room, my head down in disbelief from everything that happened in a span of a few hours just a little earlier. What have I seen? What did I witness? If it was a miracle, I much rather it be that than... Than whatever else that was revealed.It was one thing that Ashley- the love of my life who had been poisoned by that slut mutt, Susan- recover from the ailment that made her suffer. Find the strength in her that helped her take down that bitch that was beating her so. In fact, for all I know, that must be what happened. And everything else- every word said that was making me think otherwise- were nothing but lies in the end. All that was 'revealed' were nothing but fabrications. Tales that were being told differently than what the action truly showed."ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!" Or so I would have preferred it, if my father was not sitting across from me on the sofa, presenting me and Ashley with the package set on the table between us. The package was

    I looked up at Pularis in stupor. What was he trying to tell me?“S-Sorry, I think I got a little woozy there, Alpha. I could’ve sworn I’m hearing you tell me that I will be fully healed if my wolf awakens,” I said.“I am saying that.” My bafflement grew at his confirmation. “Now, don’t take my words seriously. I am no healer, and I am not some expert on wolves. The ones with us werewolves, that is. From what I’ve heard of your friend, there hasn’t been quite a case of an illness similar to yours in any medical records or books she knew of. Or am I wrong?”I was not a doctor myself, but from what I knew, Pularis was not wrong. Even Caitlyn said so, and hoped that his pack would know something about my condition that is not known in the Bluemoon pack.“I don’t know much about the role, you were born into the role of Werewolf Priestess, it is possible that there are plenty of differences about you compared to other werewolves, just as there is a difference between an Alpha werewolf and

    I was just closing my eyes when I heard light knocking at my door, marking me open them again. ‘Who’s at my door this time?’ I wondered.“Yes?”“It’s me. Mind if I come in?”“Alpha Pularis? Uh, sure. You can come in.”Once I gave him permission, the door opened, and my soon-to-be new Alpha entered. “Apologies for suddenly leaving. Had matters to take care of,” he said.“Would they have to do with Duncan and Ashley?” Pularis gave me an odd look when I asked that. “I was told by Miss Patricia.”He sighed at the response. “I thought I smelled her scent earlier,” he muttered, before turning back to me. “To answer your question, yes. Yes, it does have to do with those two.” He then stopped for a moment, looking me over. “You mind sitting up? I need to talk to you about something important.”Curiosity washed over me when he said that. “Yeah, I’ll try.” I was about to sit up, only to be reminded of how painful it was even adjusting myself on the bed. Unlike before, though, Pularis quickly to

    "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. What? I’m sorry, what? Huh? Ashley was what?”Those were the only things I could say after what Patricia revealed to me. News I never thought I would ever hear from… Well, anywhere. Nor did I think it to be that possible.“Like I said, child. That ‘Ashley’ girl has her lies exposed. The ‘illness’ she was said to be harboring was nothing more than a fake. A lie. An act. All with the right prop to use.”I was still in stupor, hearing that again. Replaying it in my head, even. This whole time, like Duncan and many others, I had thought she was truly affected by whatever aftermath that position had inflicted onto her. Now I’m hearing that there was no such thing? It was all nothing but some sick act Ashley had put on? But, that made no sense.“How could she have faked her illness this whole time? We’re not talking about ‘days’, but ‘years’. Even if Duncan was that blind to his love for her, he had to be sharp enough to realize the difference between fake and

    Susan's POVI couldn’t sleep at all. I wasn’t sure if it was because I had already ‘slept’ enough that I didn’t need any more sleep, or if it was because I was starting to be conscious of the state of my body that I was not comfortable sleeping. I didn’t know which one it was, but I just couldn’t sleep.‘I wonder if I’m allowed to take any walks in the mansion. Or at least in my room. I don’t think I can sleep otherwise,’ I thought.I slowly tried to sit up from bed, though had some difficulties in doing so. My body was feeling quite sore, which made it a little tough for me to move. It especially hurts when I put pressure on some of my worst, bandaged injuries. That is, the bite and claw marks, according to Caitlyn.Eventually, instead of getting out of bed, I settled only for readjusting myself on it, and looked around the room.“I should’ve asked for a book to read or something,” I muttered.A knock was heard at the door, surprising me a bit.“Who is it?” I asked.“It’s me, dear.

    Time almost seemed to have frozen by the action. Not for me or my people, who know that punch did nothing to my Beta. For the Bluemoon wolves who thought that woman was so sickly, on the other hand- particularly a certain disgraceful Alpha...“Still believe her to be some flower to be protected?” Dingo questioned his son, who looked on in disbelief.“T-That… that’s just… an act! Yeah, that’s all that was!” the welp claimed, actually succeeding in baffling me that time, as several others were. “I know Ashley. She has a condition! She’s not able to cause any sort of harm on anything! That bitch of a werewolf only pretended that punch did anything to her! There’s no way Ashley actually-!”“You saw her take that Beta’s kick, and clearly that didn’t kill her as it would’ve any other sickly,” Dingo reminded him. “Moreover, as we saw, you claimed earlier her recovery is not like that of an average werewolf’s. Well, you may as well be right, seeing as she has recovered from her injuries faste

    The welp remained silent at the question. I didn't know if it meant that he didn't understand how he wouldn't know, or if he was waiting for a response from his father. Regardless, both options are equally sad and disappointing. "He's telling you that someone else picked the package up, and never reported to you about it. 'Hid' the package, more like," I answered for the pitifully dumb mutt. He who looked at me with rage."There is no way that-!""That is exactly what happened!" Dingo interrupted, frightening his son to silence. "The fact that your name is on these packages, and shipped to your house every month for the past four years are proof enough!""I-It could just be that bastard-!" Dingo unleashed another dose of his authority, silencing his son to submission. "You are still blaming someone outside the pack for a case that has happened in your very home? He who just arrived at our pack for the first time last month? It is clear enough that the true culprit is someone from in

  • Rise of the Alpha's Rejected Luna   What is This Package?

    As expected, the moment it was made known what the book was, many in our little audience took 'interest' in the topic. To say the least. There were questions as to how the book was of any importance in this current situation, with several making assumptions that it would be about the lavishing spendings. I even overheard a few questioning what such info had to do with the matter at hand, noticing how troubled a couple sounded."How the hell did you get your hands on that?!" the welp demanded. "Ah, so you do know what this is," I said. "Now, as much as I would like to show here everything this book contains, we are not here to speak of the transaction history. No... What you want to know is details about this package delivered to you. From a shop called the 'Europhia Apothecary'.""I made no purchase to any apothecary, you fraudulent mutt!" the welp shouted.I rolled my eyes at him, surprised with how high his arrogance was. How fragile his pride turned out to be. "No one ever said yo
