The rest of the fight was pretty much bullying.Watching her friend's head being pulled brutally from her neck was enough to awaken the darkest powers that lay dormant in her.Rosella attacked Akayla at once, blasting her with balls of fire. At first, Akayla did a good job dodging, but she couldn't keep it up for long.Rosella had her cornered in no time and as much as Akayla tried to fight back, nothing seemed to be working. Rosella's body absorbed every single ball of fire from Akayla and the more Akayla blasted her, the stronger she got.Akayla finally realized that there was no way she could get past Rosella and she decided to switch tactics to subtlety.She raised her arms in the air like she was surrendering and as soon as Rosella got close enough, she blasted her with all the energy she had.Rosella screamed in pain as her body struggled to absorb the blast and Akayla blasted her again.Rosella fell to the floor, her clothes burnt and torn in multiple places and Akayla laughed
ROSELLA “One… Two… Three…” I counted in my head and waited for him to throw down the door. I heard him park his car outside, expecting him to start screaming my name very soon. With the way he banged the door so hard, I knew another soul must have pissed him off, and I would be the one to bear the brunt. It has always been this way, him taking out his anger on me. “Five… Six… Seven…” I continued counting before waiting for him to get to the bedroom. Like most alphas, we weren’t staying in the packhouse, but this man beats me everywhere inside this house. It’s no news to the guards and mads again how I’m being treated, and I no longer feel shame when I get the opportunity to leave this room. I am the Luna that gets beaten every time, the Luna that the alpha rarely touches decently, but he has a truckload of concubines scattered all over the packhouse."Rosella, where are you? Where the fuck are you? Dirham said you missed your Luna lesson again this week" I heard his voice barkin
"Are you deliberately waiting for me to remind you to wear your makeup?" He screamed, slicing through my chain of thoughts. He hated it when he reminded me to do simple things a Luna should know; maybe I needed to stop skipping the Luna lessons. It’s been a year inside this hell, and no help was forthcoming.I almost convulsed at the sound of his voice. I rushed to the dressing table and wore my makeup as he liked it with trembling hands; the only thing I learned from Dirham successfully. When I finished, he brought out a vanilla cologne and made me wear it. I couldn’t choose, I wouldn’t want something for myself, I always did whatever he wanted. I don’t have enough balls to tell him that I think the"These heels will match." He said he loved seeing me wear the shoes as he handed me the shoes. It's a pair of glassy silver shoes that made my legs sore whenever I wore them. He said it made me look like Cinderella. He sure had a thing for fairytales despite his messed-up head. I wasn’t
ROSELLA As I was about to step out of our room, I heard footsteps advancing, which sounded exactly like that of Alpha James. A wave of fear washed over me, I froze on the spot, trying to get my mind to think of something quick, but the fastest way was hiding under the duvet on the bed. He wasn’t supposed to be back this early, and I needed enough time to escape, or else or my plans were going to be futile. There was not enough time to undress or hide those clothes, so I did the only logical thing I thought would work for me.Before he got to the door, I jumped onto the bed and wrapped the thick duvet over my body, revealing only a tiny fraction of my hair. I turned my face away from the door so that he wouldn’t notice anything. I started breathing a tad bit higher, trying to make it look like I was genuinely asleep before he came in. The door opened before he banged it against its hinge loudly; with the way he opens the door like a lunatic, the door would come undone one day. “Get u
I noticed a sound coming from inside, and my father finally opened the door; his eyes widened like saucers as soon as he saw me. I know they would be shocked to see I ran away because he rarely let me visit them. Since we mated, I’ve not called home. This place might look poor than the palace, but I don’t care because I didn’t get beaten every day here. “What are you doing here?” he asked after recovering from the shock. I was surprised because, for someone who hadn’t seen his daughter for almost a year, he wasn’t excited to see me. I hated how Alpha James messed up my life without so much effort; I wonder what kind of threat he must have threatened my parents to make them so unwelcome.My awful stepmother came into view as soon as she heard our voices. This woman was the sole idea of making me get mated to Alpha James. She came up with the business plan, and she made sure to drop hints until he finally suggested it himself. I hated her but not today though, I needed them to keep me
Alpha JulianI sent my wooden sword flying in the air, breaking into the sword of my best friend and beta, Robert. He already knew something was bothering me but knew better than asking anything at this moment. I was too tense to do anything the right way; I wanted a solution so fast. This was my own way of releasing pent-up anger, and I hated how it felt like I had zero control over my emotions. I was trained to do better than this, but I guess desperate situations made you forget your training. He understood that all I wanted to do right now was vent out all my frustration through sparring. We fought that way till I dropped the wooden sword on the floor and sat down. Robert handed me a water bottle, sitting beside me on the smooth floor of our private sparring room. He opened his mouth a few times before closing it back. I knew he had a lot to say to me. He didn’t know what way to put it without pissing me off. I hate that we were reduced to this; I hate that the moon goddess won'
ALPHA JULIANWe walked back to the Alpha’s quarters to get ready for the meeting when Robert spoke up, “Your brother will be coming today as well with his mate so that the pressure will be more on you. You have to be ready for anything,” he advised. I nodded, already aware of what to expect at the meeting. They were trying to undermine my effort as the Alpha King, and they were trying to make me look like a fool. It was a repetitive circle, and I wonder who made the Council of Elders be my power check to start with. They were just older adults with plenty of problems.I dressed up and went to the throne room; as soon as I got there, all the elders, my father, James, my half-brother stood up as I walked into the Packhouse meeting hall. Looking at all of them, I fought the urge to hiss or roll my eyes in irritation. I can handpick a number of elders who wanted me on the throne, and they won' be up to three. I sat down on the throne while the rest bowed before taking their seats. “I wou
JAMESWalking into the house, unnecessary silence met me. Asides from the guards sitting outside, something felt terribly wrong. I could feel it deep in my bones, and it only heightened my anger. I halt the usual hide and seek game, and I head straight to the bedroom where I left her; a little beating won't hurt anyone, especially the fact that she made me lose the tiny chance I had to usurp the throne from Julian. I threw open the door, and I looked around the room. It was empty, and the bed was empty too. I removed the duvet, but instead, a pile of clothes was arranged there, and It made it look like she was trying to deceive me that she was present in the bed. Since when did she start having such sense? I felt instantly enraged; my blood boiled like a pit of lava in hell. How dare she disappears when she’s supposed to be helpful to me?. Who would I pass out my anger on?I was already exasperated that my brother managed to deceive the council of elders, ruining my chance of getting
