The sun lurked around the clouds as it dimmed its light and was about to settle down. Marie grunted and raised her head slightly to notice Lucy whose back was also bent, with a spade in her hand, packing horse dung into a bucket and disposing of them in another spot a long distance away from where they were. 

They'd been there for hours as the guard who ordered them to follow him decided to punish them both for disobeying his command. 

Marie had been taking a brief look at Lucy but she wasn't looking her way and didn't notice her. Marie had been waiting for an opportunity to speak with Lucy but couldn't find the right time as Lucy was busy all through without even making a sound. 

Marie stood upright and yawned her back behind her back, stretching herself. She whimpered as she felt a slight pain right in her lower back. 

She stared at Lucy who wouldn't even raise her head and take a break from working endlessly for hours. She took a few steps towards Lucy but discontinued when she sighted the shadow of a guard who was coming her way. 

She bent down with immediate effect and continued with her work, picking up the spade she threw on the ground but watched as Lucy dug it right into the hip of the dung that was piled up together. 

"She doesn't even have her wolf… how come she didn't get tired," She whispered and eyed as she pulled backward, the spade so that she carried with it the dung, and without a waste of time, she transferred it into the bucket that was beside her.  

"I was told I will find you here," Isabella said with a high-pitched sound. Marie was the first to respond to the voice she heard. She bowed her head immediately at the sight of Isabella. 

She sat still on a white horse. The horse was beautified with a mask on her face and the tail was also a lengthy one. She held the rope that was used to fasten the neck of the horse. The horse neighed and dangled its leg around on a spot. 

A guard stood right in front of the horse, holding onto the rope around the horse's neck like he was directing it. 

Lucy turned and took a glance at her without bowing her head. She acted as if she didn't see her. She carried the bucket of dung she already packed and walked away but got back in no time.

She got to the site where the dung was piled up together and went on with digging up the dung and migrating them to the bucket. 

"You're hurt," Isabella mocked, still on her horse. 

Marie stood idle, hoping that Lucy won't have to get punished for her attitude. Isabella eventually jumped down from her horse and wandered around the field like he was circling them. 

"Marie, Lucy's anger should be kindled towards you," She laughed. 

"You're the reason she's in this state… Am I wrong," She questioned, standing so very close to Marie. 

Marie could not bring herself to look into her eyes, not even a glimpse. 

"You answer me whenever I'm talking to you," She yelled 

"I was only obeying your command," Marie responded immediately. 

"Is that true… I overheard you once talking about Leo, remember that night," She smiled devilishly and turned to face Lucy. 

Lucy bent down on her knees but wasn't looking her way. Her eyes were closed as she was infuriated by the words of Isabella. 

"Everyone loves Leo, and so does your best friend, Marie… Anyone would do anything to have him all by themselves," Lucy said with all seriousness. 

"And I'll do the same… He is mine and mine alone," She paused and took a few steps forward closer to Lucy but halted when she noticed her fist was firm enough to cause pain if she were to land it on her. 

"Well, you can't have him anymore… He made that clear," She said and was about to turn around but was startled when she noticed the presence of Leo. 

"Leo," She muttered. 

"Why are you here… You shouldn't be here," He stared at her with a frown encroaching on his forehead. 

"I was only passing by and decided to oversee them," She debated. 

"You can go… You have other things to do," He ordered. 

He raised his head to sight Lucy but Lucy wasn't looking at him as her back was turned against him. Though she heard his voice, she could no longer face him. 

She closed her eyes as the sound of his voice brought back old memories of him. She grinned, still on her knees. 

Isabella grunted as she observed his gaze on Lucy. Leo was started by her sound. He nodded his head and held Isabella's hand so they left together. He helped her climb on her horse and instructed the guard to take her back to her apartment. 

"Hey you," He said, referring to the guard that oversees them. 

"Relieve them both in the next few minutes," He whispered so that no one else could hear his words. He soon strolled away with the guard like he have something else to say to him. 

Marie glanced through and could no longer notice the presence of the guard and Leo. She stopped what she was doing and stood upright. She folded her lips, rubbing her eyes with her fingers. 

"Lucy, I'm sorry… I don't know what else to say," She paused and then continued

"I was only following orders," She sighed and dared to get closer to her. 

"Don't, don't you dare," She yelled, her eyes reddened. 

Marie was surprised to see tears roll down her eyes. 

"That's the reason you didn't get tired… you're angered and it's kept you going, " She uttered her words with certainty.  

"You're dangerous, Lucy,"

"And you'll make me unleash my wrath on you if you keep on talking," She roared, smashing her spade Into the ground. 

Marie grinned, swallowing her spit down her gut. She shivered and took a few steps backward away from Lucy. 

"Lucy, your eyes, they weren't the same, … I, I… I mean you kind of shift your eyes, the color, " she stammered pointing her finger and struck with fear.

    Leo stood in his room, his hands clenched into fists as he stared blankly at the wall. His mind raced when the thoughts of the fight. The shame of losing to Aiden, openly, burned inside him, twisting his pride into rage.The door suddenly flew open with a loud creak. Alpha Eric stepped inside, his face was cold with anger. His sharp gaze pierced through the room as he slammed the door shut behind him.“What was that?” His voice sounded harsh. “You had the upper hand! How then did you lose to him?”Leo remained quiet, refusing to answer. Eric took a step closer, his frustration growing.“What did you do? You cheated, right?$ he hissed. “I know you did. You poisoned him—and still, you lost.”Leo didn't flinch. His heart pounded harder. “Answer me!” Eric snapped, raising his hand. Before Leo could react, a sharp slap struck his face, the sting echoing through the room.Leo slowly turned his head back to face his father, his eyes burning with anger.

    Eric leaned back slightly, his eyes narrowing. “Go on,” he allowed, his tone curious.Aiden didn't pause. “If I win against Leo,” he smiled. “I will take Lucy, the maid that held my hands back there with me.”For a moment, there was silence. The words hung heavy in the air, and the crowd exchanged confused glances. No one had expected such a demand, especially not for a maid. Isabella, who had been sitting quietly, stood up in an instant. A wide smile stretched across her face as excitement flashed in her eyes. If Aiden won and took Lucy away, it would solve everything. Lucy would no longer be a threat to her. But then, is it the best option… what would happen with her and Leo? She thought. And as for Leo, the request struck a nerve. His smile faded as he marched toward his father. Leaning close to Eric, he lowered his voice, hoping no one else would hear.“Don't agree to it,” he hissed frustration clear in his tone. “You can't let him take her.”Alpha Eric remained still for a mome

    Aiden moved fast, charging straight at Leo. His fist swung towards him but Leo was quicker. He dodged Aiden's punch and struck back with a hard blow to his side. Without giving him a chance to recover, Leo landed another punch on his chest, then his ribs, hitting him from every direction.Each strike pushed Aiden back, weakening him more.

His body twisted in the air before he crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.Dust rose where he fellz and the sound echoed across the field. He landed close to where Lucy and Marie stood.

Some clapped, others cheered loudly, praising their future Alpha.Eric leaned back in his chair with a satisfied smile. He clapped his hands together, proud of his son

    The field was crowded with pack members. The full moon hung high above, casting a pale glow over the open space. Excitement and tension filled the air as everyone waited. But the one person they had expected—Luna Ava— was still not there. Murmurs spread through the crowd, quiet questions hanging without answers. Alpha Eric sat at the head of the gathering, his face calm but his fingers drumming lightly against the arm of his chair. His sharp gaze swept over the field, but there was no sign of her. The longer he waited, the heavier the silence became.A figure moved toward him—a guard, stepping close enough that only Eric could hear. He bent his head and whispered something quickly. Whatever the words were, they made Eric's expression tighten. He gave a slow nod before standing up, his towering form commanding everyone's attention. The noise faded as the pack focused on him. “The Luna will not be joining us anymore.” his voice rang out. “There are matters to be handled elsewhere and

    Evening settled iber the pack, casting a warm glow as the sun dipped low behind the distant hills. The air buzzed with energy—laughter echoed through the open fields, the scent of roasted meat drifted from the kitchen and every wolf seemed eager for the celebration that would soon begin. Lanterns hung from the trees, flickering softly as pack members hurried about, preparing for the night ahead.Meanwhile, Leo stood near a pole inside the main hall, his sharp gaze scanning the royals, the elders and other representatives from other packs. He had been searching for Ethan, but there was no sign of him. Frustration flickered in his chest as he swept his eyes across the familiar faces—men in black exchanging quick words, young wolves chasing one another in playful bursts, the elders speaking quietly among themselves—but not the one person he needed to see.He sighed quietly, shifting his focus toward the center of the hall. And there he was, that was when he noticed him—Aiden.He was dres
