VANESSA'S POV.

I stayed inside the room longer than I should have, leaning against the wall, watching Lyra from the field. She was seated alone, her box held close to her chest. From a distance, I could see the pendants; she held them firmly, her palm nearly covering them.

I stared at her with so much resentment. For a year I had thought I had clipped her wings; I thought I had broken her down to her bone marrow, rendering her broken and useless. I thought Lyra walking back after a year of exil

    LYRA'S POV.I rolled out of bed, the bed felt softer than the harsh wooden beds I was used to, my back still hurt. I stretched my back it made a cracking sound, my wolf curled up inside of me displeased that I was moving my body.For a minute I stared at the ceiling, counting on the dots, my mind still struggling to come to terms with my reality.Still, my heart beat heavy.The memories tortured me more than my reality did, I had left the playground when my feet grew cold, I felt exhausted and frustrated, standing up slowly I leaned my back backwards, the familiar acrid smell of my cub filled my nose, his quarters were down the hallway, I was close to him but still Leo chose to keep his distance.I raised my hand slowly reaching for my forehead, I had a reflex from a recurring migraine, my head was banging really hard but still I sat steady. My eye still burned and my eye bag was heavy, I had slowly become a shadow of myself.My wolf stirred instantly shifting outwards pressing charge

    VANESSA'S POV.I pressed my lips together. I needed no soothing words to heal the wound they had created inside of me. I was going to get my pound of flesh from every one of them; that was a promise I made to myself.Darius called the registry over; they whispered more than they said actual words. The murmuring from the elders grew, and they all focused their attention on me, giving me a clear view that I was the topic of discussion. I focused my gaze on the moon print imprinted in the walkway; the moonstone sign was imprinted all over the palace.They still spoke about Lyra, they still sang praises in her name even in her absence, I shut my ears completely, I didn’t want to hear of her or her accomplishments or how fortunate she was around the office and settling the supply without hindrance, she was the perfect one and I was the evil one, but then she’s the ex convict and I’m the acting Luna whom her mate found closure in.Darius cleared his throat finally.The murmuring ceased.Dar

    VANESSA'S POV.The elders murmured; Darius's face fell heavily. He was clearly exhausted. The council tried to throw me out, but he didn't seem to validate my feelings. I was slowly moved to tears, but I still kept a straight face, the figures blurry before my eyes.I never saw any of these…..Nobody brought this before me…….“Lady Vanessa, please…”. The Beta stood up to address me, but I wasn’t having it.“I didn't sign this. It has the Luna seal, but I swear down this is not me…. I have never seen anything as huge as this brought forward…. it's not me”. I stammered; every hair on my body rose in denial, but still they didn’t break. The council had seen way too much to be moved by tears and a sad face; I turned to Darius, standing on my feet.“Alpha Darius”. I called his name, my voice breaking. Darius stared at me longer than he should have without uttering a word.“Aside from the Lunas, who has access to the files amongst the council?” He turned the question to the registry.The re

    VANESSA'S POV.My wolf bristled.I stared at them unapologetically; Darius stared at me for a minute, his eyes displeased. I had spoken to the eldest in the council with utmost disrespect, disregarding his status and insulting his seat of office.Heat covered me; their jaws still dropped open in shock. They didn’t expect me to come at him the way I did, but I couldn't withstand the torment and pressure he was melting on me all in the name of addressing the council and disregarding me instead of applauding my efforts.The elder swallowed hard, he locked eyes with me then he turned to face Darius, he had a lot to say but rather kept quiet, my words enough to make him numb till he left the council, Darius looked away, he could see the nervousness crawling beneath my skin and how I kept on rubbing my hand on my gown at the back, I was slowly losing it.The elder bowed towards the throne, sitting on his seat quietly. The silence grew heavy in the meeting; nobody said a word. Darius raised

    VANESSA'S POV.Darius stood up in anger, his patience wearing out slowly. I took a step backward, my gaze turning cold. The Elders and Betas were on a mission to disgrace me, and finally they had their moment.“Vanessa!” Darius yelled again, in total disbelief. He knew I was up to no good when it came to politics and the pack, but he didn't expect me to deny the accusation. His eyes burned in fury.Darius's eyes looked tired; his Alpha scent amidst the wooden scent filled the room. Normally, his scent was calming to my nerves, but right here and now, his scent sent shivers down my body.“This is a very critical one. One with great concern, Lady Vanessa “. Another Beta spoke from the crowd; they exchanged glances, some wore a silly smile expecting my downfall, and were quite impressed it came earlier than expected.“This is not fair”. I faked tears, taking two steps backwards from Darius. They stared at me, amused as to why tears were dropping.“Lady Vanessa, you just denied signing a

  • The Luna They Replaced    Chapter 23

    VANESSA'S POV.I pulled my claws out at once; the part my hands had pierced through was still very visible on the surface of the pillar. I wasn't satisfied. I was still very nervous knowing I was going to address the elders. This is something Lyra would have pulled off effortlessly, and I hated her even more for my misfortune.There was this anger that was buried inside of me for her; she did nothing wrong to me, but my wolf hated her scent; I hated her entire existence.Lyra could walk in with no notes in hand, her chin raised confidently, and address the elders, leaving the wolves breathless and in awe of the magnitude of her insight and strength; that was the kind of Luna she was.And there is me who would rather focus on calming Darius, learning his likes and dislikes, and trying effortlessly to make him fall for me rather than see me as a tool used for pleasure and nothing more.I had stood in front of Darius when he was restless, and his Alpha instinct was through the roof, tryi
