The White Crescents 41
The Mansion was bustling with a vivacious crowd. Expensive cars drove in, shimmery dresses sparkled under the moon which shone brightly as ever. The vibrant lighting in the Grand Hall uplifted the moods and the soft music playing added the energy to it. Amongst the affluent crowd with their bold ambience, I felt like a weak prey that could be easily hunted and killed. The scent of my fear was stronger than their expensive colognes. I hadn’t joined them yet. I was only observing them from upstairs behind the curtain dressed in a white ball dress. It was see through from my stomach and was backless designed in a way it seemed as if made from ice crystals. The fall of the dress had tailored pearls giving it a light ice blue tint. I could easily be mistaken for a runaway bride…or a bride trying to run away. But I was not a bride today. I was the Kings mate, the supposed Queen. It sounded funnier today than any other normal day. Perhaps because I was going to be declared and if it comes

Both Luna Sarah and Luna Helena got busy with other packs so Maya and I excused ourselves. Come to think of it I had not seen Sabine or Felicia. Now that I mentioned it, Cole and Gray weren’t here either.My eyes caught a pair of black ones. He wasn’t looking at me but talking to a girl. His hair was neatly made yet messy at the same time. It was the first time I was seeing him in a suit. He looked dashing. His body hugged the white formal shirt he was wearing, his grey coat hanging in his hands.I was staring so intensely, so focused on him that I could hear him laugh from afar. That sound was melodious. Jacob Campbell was the perfect image of the high school bad boy. Asher and Jacob seemed the same, their character wise. Both radiated danger, both were arrogant jerks yet both were soft in their heart.Without releasing that I was staring at him like a creep, a blush crept on my face when I was caught red-handed. His eyes lingered on mine, a small mischievous smirk displayed on his l

One worry was out of the way. Alpha Killian was dealing with the rogues and Cole stayed back with him to assist. Sabine and I walked back up.“Did you send anyone at the site of the attack?”“Yes, Adrian, he took members of his pack, they are on the hunt as we speak. We will be hearing from him shortly,”I took a deep breath of relief. Another problem was now out of the way. I could count on Adrian with my eyes closed.“Did you hear anything from Gray and Felicia?” I asked her as we approached the storeroom. It had all the medical equipment.“Yes, everything’s going smooth at their end,” she answered. I entered in and she followed. As if suddenly realizing we were standing in the storeroom, she asked, “What are we doing here?”I pulled out a box and looked at her, “Your wound,” I nodded, “It hasn’t healed yet,”“That’s weird! It should have been completely healed by now, it was just a claw mark,” she rose her eyebrows in amusement as she assessed the cut on her arm.“Exactly, it shoul

Right, I forgot to mention that, ironically, the mark of the crescent moon on my chest is apparently invisible to everyone. When Maya brought the dress in I immediately took notice that the dress would expose my mark so it was going to be a problem. Then I realized that Asher was unable to see it so it might be the same case with Maya. Taking my shirt off, I threw it on the bed and glanced at Maya but she was too busy beaming like a baby as she gazed admiringly at the white gown she had bought for me. Noticing that I was looking at her she cleared her throat and looked at me. “Sorry, I can only imagine how beautiful you’re going to look in this,” She was staring right at me but still had not noticed the mark yet. “Well, you are going to see me right now,” I stated. “Oh no” she shook her head, “you’re going to put it on and tell me if it fits you right otherwise I’ll have it altered to your size,” she smiled. Still her eyes didn’t seem to notice. The door suddenly opened and

Asher's POV: I had ordered them all to come in when the dance was about to begin. Maya had informed me that Aurelia had been asking about them all since the evening had started. I was delighted to know that she was concerned and that she had noticed them missing, it showed that she actually cared. As I thought of her my eyes automatically searched the Hall to find her but to my horror I couldn’t see her anywhere. Maya, where is Aurelia? She answered immediately, I saw her talking to Jacob a while ago. My blood boiled as thoughts clashed together in my brain. I want to see her now Asher. I ignored Axel and was about to rush outside when I spotted him by the bar laughing his drunken ass off with…Alpha Killian. I scowled at the sight. I have always disliked Jacob but looking at him now made me wonder if it was him as a person or did I hate him because he was Christophe’s son? However, Jacob was not my concern. My face was calm from the outside as I discreetly eyed every corner of t

She pressed herself on me and my hands landed on her bare waist to stop her from pushing my limits. “Kiss me,” she breathed out. I leaned in and as she parted her lips my lips touched her cheeks and I walked away from her towards my closet to grab the first shirt that comes in my hand. Aurelia, in her right mind, would have never stood like that in front of me, at least not yet. I was not going to take advantage of her drugged self. A grey t shirt came in my hand and I noticed that it was hers, a crop t shirt. Great. “No, please, I’m literally burning,” I leaned in to whisper in her ear so fast she gasped and boy was I glad to get a reaction out of her. “Wear this, and I’ll get rid of your heat,” I said and before moving back I kissed her jaw. She obeyed and wore the damn shirt, thankfully. She looked at me with anticipation as I cupped her cheeks, “Sweetheart, you really need to sleep,” She groaned as she pulled away from my touch and said what triggered me, “If you’re not will

My eyes fluttered open and I felt exhausted. As if my entire body’s energy had been completely disposed of. I felt warm and felt skin underneath my fingertips. When my eyes opened up fully, it was then that I realized I was cuddling with Asher, my bare leg intertwined with his but he was still in his pants, my arms around his bare chest as I lay atop of him, one of his hands rested on my back and the other on my hip that was hugging him across his legs.I was naked from my legs and thankfully I could feel my underwear but…no bra. I was wearing no bra and my boobs were literally squishing against his hard chest. The thought itself brought blood to my cheeks. My face was resting on his chest, I could hear his heartbeat in my ears, it was so serene and calm. Unlike mine!I slowly moved my head to look at him and saw a sight that would kill girls. His face was turned to the window side and rays of sunlight shone making his skin glow like a Greek god. His lips were slightly parted and no c

Aurelia's POV: “Is she going to be alright?” I asked Asher as he shut the door behind him. I immediately relaxed entering our room. The warmth it gave me was comforting and right now I was really tense. Some questions were bothering me way too much. “Yeah, its Sabine, she’ll be okay,” he sighed. With a long pause I heard him behind me, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine but I just, it’s really pissing me off that I can’t remember anything Asher, nothing at all,” I said my hands making their way to my hair grabbing them in frustration and confusion. “Hey,” he took a step forward grabbing my elbows and held them in his palms grazing my skin with his thumb. “You were under a spell, a witch attacked you,” he explained softly. “It is why you don’t remember,” “Asher, did-” I gulped and took a step back, staring at his feet, “Did we, you know,” “Seriously?” it wasn’t the thing he said it was his tone that made me look at him. Anger. “I just told you that you were attacked by a witch, you could
