~Rielle

I looked down at the royal gown that I had been given to wear. It was adorned with ruffles and a few pearls and completely covered my feet. What was I thinking?

If Raphael realised my embarrassment, he did not show it, instead he gestured somewhere. I looked in the direction where he was pointing to. "That is the changing room, there will be suitable attire there." He supplied.

Without a second word, I went to change. I returned dressed in a tunic for men, light leather trousers and boots.

Once again, he looked me up and down. "Let us begin," he said, seemly satisfied.

The early morning shroud of the training grounds was already beginning to clear. So I could see more of it. There were dummies strung on poles, a few racks with different weapons. About ten targets for arrow practice, punching sacs and more. I resembled Jameson's training room but far grander and more equipped.

As I took it all in, I felt Raphael’s gaze never leaving me. He seemed to always be constantly watc

    ~RielleWhen the morning came, Raphael was gone. The tried my best not to think of the heinous act I had committed by letting him make a vow to me without telling him the whole truth. But I pushed back my raging thoughts and guilt. Today was the final day, the final battle. I had to focus on what was to come. I cleaned myself and put on my clothes. By the time I was done, the sun was still low in the sky. My paced waiting. But, it seemed like my thoughts would completely suffocate me. Finally, I decided to take a walk around the Alpha's castle. I stepped outside into tht cold dimly lit corridors. I had no destination not direction but I keep following the paths of the corridors. I looked around taking in slightly eerie castle. My father's castle was far more lively and the decorations more resplendent and opulent. While Raphael's on the other hand resembled his ambience, dark and brooding. Several Jews adorned my father's castle but Rapheal's mainly comprised of obsidan. The castle f

    ~RielleThe deltas completed the healing of my body and when I finally gained my strength, my family was already with me.My father was the first to pull me into a warm embrace. "I am so proud of you, my dear," he told me.Logan joined the hug, unable to hide his joy. "You were so amazing," he gushed."Thank you," I murmured through the fatigue. All I wanted to do was rest after a long, tiring, and eventful day. They pulled away, leaving Lance and Jules standing both staring at me. Jules' expression was an open one, she rushed over to me and took my hand. "You were truly the warrior you were born to be," She praised. Her words should have filled me with nothing but gladness, but I could not shake off the suspicion that took hold of me. She had been the only one that I had told of what I had done and now, for whatever reason, Aurora had been privy to it as well. Had Jules told Aurora the secret? I feigned a smile at her as my other brother came forward. The others went quiet, I felt

    ~Rielle"Get prepared for the next round," the announcer's voice boomed over the crowd's excitement. The crowd cheered harder as Aurora and I returned to the arena, healed by the Deltas.I took a deep breath, pushing the small ache back and Aurora's words to the back of my mind. This was far from over, and I wasn't about to let her get the best of me again. It did not matter what she knew. I would win this first before I let my doubt and dread make my determination dwindle."Attention, everyone!" the announcer called out, drawing the spectators' attention. "The second challenge will test our competitors' knowledge and intellect. We will spin the wheel of topics to determine the subject matter!"A large, colorful wheel with various topics—history, politics, alchemy, and apothecary—was brought into the center of the arena. The announcer came forward and gave it a strong spin, and the crowd watched with bated breath as the pointer whirred around. My stomach clenched hard in anticipation.

    ~Rielle"For the final round the winner of the last round will chose to change or continue with the already chosen combat style." The announcer said.But I and Aurora exchange looked, she flashing me a smirk before turning to face the announcer. "I choose hand-to-hand combat." She said. The spectators went wild, obviously pleased with the option. "Hand-to-hand it is," Announced agreed. "Get in postion." We did as he asked, taking our positions in the smallest circle. The air between us was charged as we looked each other down. "Are you ready to lose, princess?" She taunted. 'Remember what happened last time. Don't let her get to you. That is her strategy." Nova tried to calm my frazzled nerves.I absorbed her words, taking a deep breath and I adjusted my stance. I refused to give her a reply. "Begin!" We circled one another, our muscles pulled taut with anticipation. Aurora still had a smug smirk on her face and I could barely stand to stare at it for a second longer. I had ma

    ~Rielle"This is for you," My father said as he entered my room, a box in his hands. I took the box from him and opened it to find a new battle tunic. The gift brought a smile to my face. "Thank you father," for the first time I initiated an embrace.He held me as well. "You don't know how proud of you I am," he whispered, sniffling. I realized that he was holding back tears. "Lucianne," he whisperef my new name reverently. "I have not won yet, father," I reminded him teasingly."You will win, I know you will. You have come so far in such a short time. Only a handful of people can manage such a feat." He pulled away to look into my eyes, before cradling my face. "And even if it is the goddess' will that you do not win, you are still my daughter and that is all that matters. I will take care of you like I have not been able to in the past. That is a promise." His vow made tears spring up in my eyes. Knowing that he would not turn me away even if I lost made my heart race with love f

    ~Rielle"It will be a public event, since the beginning the Luna's Duel has been done before the entire pack," Beta Reiner explained. "So tomorrow, you will be introduced to the pack as my daughter," My father continued. "Are you prepared?" He asked.I nodded without hesitation. It had been three weeks of gruelling practice and exploring Nova's abilities. Our chemistry and my strength had greatly improved. I had built muscles, grit and endurance. I was confident in myself. "Yes, father,"The corner of my father's lips raised in a surreptitious proud smile. "Then comes the issue of your name." "What about it?" "Well, according to the reports from Silverfang pack, Rielle Riorson is dead." A lump formed in my throat at the news. It was not at all surprising because I knew that had been Jameson's plan all along, yet it still struck and uncomfortable chord within me and made my blood run cold. To think that the past month would not have happened if he had succeeded in his heinous ploy.
