로그인~Kael~Olaine's incessant need for attention would be the end of her.She just made a fool of herself in front of the press.I specifically told her to stay in the background and lay low, but she just had to show herself.I signalled to the guards to lift her up, turning my attention to Vixen.“Please Lady Vixen, let's head in for the discussion.”Mitch led the way as we took a detour and passed the hallway, into the pack's meeting room.The Elders were already seated, waiting for Vixen.They immediately stood up as they saw us, bowing.I stepped forward to introduce them. “I don't know if you remember the Elders.” I pointed to the first one. “This is Elder Ren–”“Elder Renel,” Vixen cut in, placing her bag on the table. “How could I ever forget? Weren't you once suspected of embezzling funds meant for the kingdom's reserve?”She sat at the head of the table, the place reserved for me. She crossed her legs, her eyes on Elder Renel.“Wasn't that why you no longer represent Pure Moon at
~Vixen~The ride to the pack house was a quiet one.My head was blank.I could only stare with my head hanging low.The sight in Pure Moon was nothing like that of Shadowcrest.It resembled a war zone.“This can't be the pure Moon we left behind,” Emmie voiced out my thoughts.As we entered Binadi, a village known for its farming, my hope surged.Maybe things were better there.Pure Moon were amongst the Pack that were not blessed with mineral resources, however, they had rich soil.During my time as Luna, we were the top producers of grains in the southern region and among the top three kingdom-wide.Eighty percent of our revenue came from agriculture.But the sight that greeted me as we drove past the village were drought ridden lands. It was empty, looks untouched for months.Not a single plant was to be seen, just overgrown weeds and shrubs.This was where the problem lies.The main source of revenue for the pack was down, therefore everything else fell apart.How did Kael let thi
~Kael~It was today.The day Vixen graces our pack after being away for so long.This pack was basically her home. She lived here for years.And today she was returning.I turned to Mitch, smoothening down non-existent creases.“Does the robe seem too much? Is there enough time to change?”Wearing the robe had seemed to be a good idea initially. After all, we were welcoming the former Luna.But I was having second thoughts about it.“I believe there's no time to change. Lady Vixen would soon be here.”Lady Vixen.Such a name that carried power, even more than my Alpha title.It was rumoured that she was now involved with high profiled Alphas and Betas, alongside having connection to the Alpha King.Sir Lucien relinquished all his shares of his famous company, Noblepath, to her.Vixen was rising faster than the speed of light, and to think I discarded her for ordinary, plain Olaine.Nobody believed me when I said I was once affiliated with Vixen. They called me delusional.I couldn't p
~Vixen~It was pathetic that Pure Moon didn't have a standard airport control that could receive a private jet into their pack.It was as though they were still living in the past.It was funny that this was one of the projects I planned to work on when I was Luna.They were backward on technological advancement and I had wanted to fix that.And after all this time, not a single change or progress has been made.The jet had to land at a nearby private terminal in a neighbouring pack.With my dark sunglasses and black bag, I climbed down from the air stairs, the wind breezing past me.There was a fleet of black armoured SUVs that lined up in front of me.I haven't hired any ride yet, not to think of this fleet of cars.Or was it Annie's doing?Before I could call her to confirm, a man in black tailored suit with a wireless earbud in his ear stepped forward.“Lady Vixen.” He bowed. “I'm Gamma Draven.” He brought out his pack ID. “You landed in our pack, Shadowcrest. Alpha Ravan has dire
~Vixen~I brought the corporate jumpsuit to my chest, checking it out in the mirror.I shook my head and dumped it aside.I took another black gown and brought it to the mirror.Nope. I totally can't wear this.I dumped it aside.Why did I have almost nothing to wear?I went to my cloth rack frowning, searching for suitable outfits.My clothes were so few.Do I need to go shopping?“Few?” Emmie scoffed. “Those clothes piled over there could open a boutique.”My head tilted to my right where I dumped the clothes I didn't approve of.“You're exaggerating. If I had that much clothes why am I finding it difficult to pick good outfits?”“Because you're being unnecessarily picky and paranoid.”Most of the times I loved Emmie, she was the only one that has been with me since I first shifted.While sometimes I felt like tying her mouth for centuries to come.“It's nice to see you have good plans for me,” she said wryly.“One day I won't be able to take your sassy replies and denounce you as m
~Vixen~Victory shouldn't feel this sad. It should be free, liberating. I should be full of joy.But why did I feel the opposite instead?I had every right to deny his requests.Why would I go back to the same person who broke my trust?Emmie, who has been furious with me since Vaelor drove away, resumed speaking to me.“But do you have the right to lie to his face? You know it was never about the contract.”“Of course, I know it was never about the contract, but he needed to hear that lie. He needs to move on so I can be free.”“And now? Are you free?”“Yes,” I answered quickly, too quickly.“But at what cost? Are you truly happy?”“If my happiness can buy my freedom then I'd rather be the saddest she-wolf running a billion dollar company.”“And what if he could give you both, freedom and happiness?”My thoughts flitted back to Lyra and those Elders. How obsessed they were about the Luna title.And once again, the bed scene drifted to my head.I shook my head. “It's not possible. Vae
