“WAIT!” I screamed loudly while getting up from my bed while I raised my hand horizontally to stop the wolf. I had erratic heartbeat and was sweating heavily throughout my body.“I didn’t even touch you yet” said Lily, my dear best friend, while raising her hands in defense.“I wasn’t talking to you. I just had a dream about…” and I started talking about my fantasy dream again.“About your handsome werewolf again?” asked Lily with a cheeky grin on her face.She sat on my bed next to me with hearts in her doe eyes to discuss the dream, she has heard thousands of times.To which I replied in a low tone,“Yeah”“So, the handsome guy you meet in your dreams is a dark brown colored werewolf, right?” asked Lily curiously as she remembered the details, of course.She has to discuss it every single time! She is just mad for handsome wolves!

“Mom, dad! Why are we merging with Moonshine?” I asked in a demanding tone.“Oh! So, you heard about it” said my mother with a bitter smile while looking at Lily with the corner of her eyes causing her to choke in her food and my father passed her a glass of water.Everyone knows how Lily works like my spy in the pack and she is so shamelessly proud about the fact! “Yeah, I did. Now answer me, why are we merging with those pathetic creatures?” I asked in an enraged tone while hitting my palm on the table making a thud noise.Overflowing with emotions, I didn’t even let them answer my question and blasted them with more.“We are merging with them in a week and still nobody considered telling me? Why we are in such hurry? Nobody wanted to know my thoughts in the matter? Am I not important?” I asked feeling completely betrayed by my own family and pack.I felt like a used tissue!

‘What was that about?’ I thought confusedly.As I reached down, my father came forward to take my hand from Liam’s and started introducing me to the unfamiliar faces standing in front of me.“Everyone, this is my lovely daughter, Elena. She is going to be the Luna of our pack soon” said my father proudly introducing me to the bunch of unknown faces.“And Elena dear, this is Alpha Arthur Smith and his wife, the Luna, Mrs. Emma Smith”“Hello, really nice to meet you” I said smiling while shaking hand with both of them.“Pleasure to meet you, beautiful” said Alpha Arthur with a gentle smile.‘Not much pleasure in my case’ I thought but plastered a fake smile on my face.“You have such a lovely daughter” complimented Mrs. Smith with such genuine motherly that I couldn’t think anything bad about her.“Thank you” I replied shyl

“Hello, Ms. Elena Swan. I am Ira Blossom” said a beautiful blonde girl while standing next to Luke.‘She is a bit too close to be just a pack member, she must be a close friend’ I thought while looking at the almost invisible distance between the two.Alice, on the other hand, moved away from her in the fraction of seconds and stood next to me making it obvious that she doesn’t like her that much.Even the real late bloomer, Lily also observed that.She smiled at Luke who didn’t show any emotion on his handsome face.He then turned towards me with his signature expressionless face.“She is the daughter of my father’s beta” Luke said coldly without even glancing at her.“Pardon me. Let me introduce myself again. Hello, my name is Ira Blossom, daughter of Beta, Ethan Blossom. It’s an honor to meet you, Ms. Elena Swan, the future Luna” Ira corrected in a more elegant

“WHAT??” she asked in utter astonishment. “You heard me, ‘I will ask him to reject me’. I am not interested in him at all. I only love my handsome wolf mate. Unlike Luke, he is such a gentleman. I will wait for him” I said smiling while thinking about my dear wolf. Blood drained from Lily’s face when she heard my reply for the second time, with worried expressions she stated, “You can’t just force him to reject you!” “Try me” I said replied in a challenging tone and the corner of my mouth twitched into a smirk. “Did you forget the fact that he must also agree to reject you? You can’t do it yourself!” Lily replied in frustration. ‘Why is she so frustrated? I know everything’ I thought before replying confidently, “I know. I don’t think he is that much interested in me either. I guess we have mutual feelings about it” “How do you know that? Have you seen ‘You’?” she asked while pointing towards me, referring to the fact h
