Monday. July 13, 2027A day after arrival‘’Selena Monroe, daughter of Beta Monroe family, do you plead guilty to the offense of hiding the Alpha heir of the Northern Moon pack?’’In a vast hall, I stand alone on a raised podium like a criminal on trial as I stare up at the five elders seated before me, their gazes indifferent as they await for my answer like judges ready to pass on their judgement.The only female elder on the far right is Elder Kosha, representative of the Western Moon pack.The elder next to her is Elder Cadel, representative of the Northern Moon packOn the far left is Elder Bernard, representative of the Eastern Moon packNext to him is Elder Rupert, representative of the Southern Moon packFinally, the one in the middle and with the coldest gaze of them all, Elder Vladimir.Oldest Elder and perhaps werewolf to live, and most importantly, the head of the elder council.‘’Yes.’’ I answer calmly, my voice steady and echoing in the vast hall.‘’May we ask for the re
Her loud voice drew some curious glances, but who was Steph? She was not one to care of others.‘’This is a hospital, Steph.’’ I remind her under my breath, throwing some faint apologetic smiles at some skeptical nurses. We had to mindful of our behavior especially in a hospital.‘’I obviously know that.’’ She snorts, crossing her arms over her chest. She glared at the warriors with an open disdain. ‘’It’s just ridiculous that I have to watch some bastards keep you and Lucian on a tight leash like some stray dogs.’’The warriors were werewolves with very sharp senses and could obviously hear Stephanie insulting them, Jared and practically everyone else like the elders. One of them appeared offended, intending to warn Stephanie of her disrespect, but another warrior was quick to hold him back. Even so, the warrior sharply glared at Stephanie and also to me.I guess I should have stopped Stephanie from insulting their Alpha, but did I care? No.I wasn’t their Luna or anything to them, a
Tell him the existence of our pup?Seriously? After my werewolf poured out her honest feelings, he suddenly thinks of throwing the blame on what I did back then?‘’You always give me a glimpse of how cruel and ruthless you can be, Jared.’’ I shake my head with a humorless laugh.‘Or I may still be expecting something from you even if it’s just a bit.’ I mock, quite disappointed at myself.First love wasn’t easy to forget.A rejected mate was realistically impossible to forget, especially when the mate bond still existed like an imaginary tiny thread acting like a fragile connection between them.‘’You may not remember but I actually tried to tell you.’’ I say softly, recalling that painful memory. ‘’You didn’t want anything to do with me so I went out of my way to have you attend a birthday dinner.’’I then turn my gaze away from the sleeping Lucian and stare calmly at him. ‘’You should remember the night Sienna woke up from her coma.’’His eyes tremble slightly at my words and I chuc
I watch as the two warriors carried an unconscious Karen out the ward. If Jared said he would make sure that Karen would pay the price then I have no complaints.Even if I had, my werewolf was still in control and she does not seem to have any intention of letting me in control for a moment. I was worried that Karen may reveal what happened, particularly my little transformation.‘’Can I have Selena back?’’ Jared suddenly asks, staring at my werewolf with a calm gaze. Well, it was obvious that I wasn’t in control.‘’.....’’My werewolf did not respond to his question. She only held his gaze without a word.‘’I sensed your anger from the mate bond. He explains.‘’......’’ My werewolf’s silence remains.‘’Give me control.’’ I tell her after a moment of watching Jared and her, just staring at each other. However, I received the same silent treatment as Jared.‘’....Do you want to meet him?’’ Jared asks and I was quite surprised to hear that from him.The him in question was his werewolf.
Karen had noticed a change in Jared on that day at the Cadel Corporation,Jared who had always kept a distance from others, the opposite sex especially, offered to escort Lena Quinn. This was a shocking discovery to her. His eyes did not even glance her way despite her inner wishes for him to until she called out his name.When Lena Quinn had rejected Jared’s offer, Karen was secretly delighted. However, she did not expect that personal assistant to be persistent.She also did not expect Jared to call her out for her words and stand up for Lena Quinn.In Karen’s entire life, she had never felt so humiliated. Especially when her big brother forced her to lower her head to a lowly woman, and Jared was watching her without a word.‘’She has the right to look down on you, Karen. That woman you offended has a reputation in the business world for being a genius business consultant. What have you done for the family asides shopping for dresses and shoes, going to parties and all sorts, Karen
Karen Smiths.The only young miss of the wealthy Smiths family.Greatly pampered and spoiled from a young age by her father, Karen has never known right or wrong. In her eyes, whatever she did was right. Whatever she wanted was right.Anyone or thing opposing her was wrong.Karen had never thought that her mentality was in the wrong, and she had her father’s limitless support.If there was one person she feared in her life, it would be older brother, Kelvin Smiths.Unlike her father’s loving gaze, his was cold. Always staring at her like a stranger and not his younger sister. Most times, Karen had always sensed a hint of disgust and disdain from him.His words had always brought her down as though pouring cold water on her high self-esteem.‘’The reason father indulges you a lot is because of mother who ran away.’’ One day, he told her this.In other words, she was a child abandoned by her mother right from birth.It wasn’t a secret that her mother, the mysterious Mrs. Smiths ran away
