A week later, countless eyes fell on me as I got out of the Rolls Royce, dressed in a tube top, floor-length rose gold dress and a platinum mask with luminous pearl butterfly wings on my face.I ignored the stunned admiration of those present and slowly raised my head. My gaze swept the place I had not seen for a week, my lips curled into a smile.I handed the invitation to the bellboy at the entrance, and he led me into Alpha Michael's manor.Tonight was the Luna Masquerade Ball. Enzo told me that Michael would be announcing the union and marriage between his daughter, Melissa, and Enzo tonight.With my appearance, this announcement would be more dramatic for sure tonight.I have never held my head up this high, not have I examined those in power this closely, because I had always been a poor, pathetic, lowly, and dirty slave to them.So, I could feel nothing but irony as I watched one man after another hand me their business card and give me fawning smiles.It was even more ironic w

The night's drama ended with Ellen and Melissa getting locked up.Ellen's image as a virtuous wife and mother, and a kind Luna, was shattered overnight, while Melissa turned from a naive, beautiful princess to a tainted murderer.Michael had never expressed his opinion at home, and I always had the impression he was even afraid of his wife. But when it came to the interest of the Pack, he would still make the most beneficial decision. This was perhaps the cruel responsibility of being a Pack's Alpha.I pushed open the door of the confinement cell where Melissa sat in the corner. Her hair was disheveled, and her arms were crossed.The delicate makeup on her face was all smudged, and she was wearing a prison uniform.She looked up slowly when she heard the door open and met my eyes. She seems sane now."Are you here to gloat?" she asked.I frowned at her.She stood up and tried to approach me, but the chains on her ankles limited her range of motion."Why else would you be here? To show

"Isn't that what you noblemen taught me? What do slaves account to? They're the cheapest lives in this world! Otherwise, why did my parents die? Why?!" Peter roared."My brother and I went through so many difficulties to get rid of our slave identity and became warriors, yet he died because of a weak slave like you! He's dead! Dead! I want all of you to be buried with him! I want the entire Cold Moon Pack to suffer retribution!"Peter's eyes were completely bloodshot. He had been completely consumed by hatred.I stood up. I didn't know about his childhood experience. I couldn't comfort him because his experience was ten times more miserable than mine.Enzo frowned, then hesitated before instructing Kyle, "Untie him. Exile him."Kyle seemed to disapprove of this decision, but he untied Peter anyway.Enzo took my hand to leave. However, no one expected the man lying on the ground with a pained expression to suddenly shift into a brown wolf. He bared his fangs and leaped towards Enzo and

"Mom said you tried to sneak into Alpha's room last night?" Cindy asked, studying me."Your mother is…?"The face of that indifferent old woman from last night flashed through my mind."You've met her," Cindy said as she tidied her hair. "Her name is Mary. She's always taken care of Alpha's daily chores. Even though she's only an Omega, Alpha has always respected her greatly.""Oh, I see." I nodded, wanting to end this conversation quickly. I could feel that this girl holds strong hostility towards me.Cindy suddenly smiled. "Don't blame her for sticking her nose into this. She did it for your sake. Alpha doesn't like to be disturbed when he's resting. If Mom hadn't stopped you, Enzo would have been mad at you.""No, I didn't blame her."In fact, I didn't think that Enzo would be mad at me for that. He always seemed patient and not as easily angered as Cindy had described."That's good. Oh, by the way, I was heading to the training grounds. Do you want to come along?""Training?""Yes

My cramped leg was draining strength from me as I started to sink deeper into the water.Before I passed out completely for drowning, Kyle sprang into the water and dragged me out.I coughed violently and choking on water from my lungs. Slowly, I felt my consciousness return to me.I opened my eyes and find droplets of water dripping down from Kyle's blonde hair onto my cheek."Shit! You're finally awake," he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.I looked at him and around the area, curious where the other man had gone.Kyle snapped his fingers from above me. "Stop that. He's gone."I sat up after a short break and found Kyle's white shirt on my body."Oh. I saw you weren't wearing anything, so I brought mine over to cover you."He seemed unaffected, sitting with his upper body bare and elbows propped on the ground.The corner of my ears flushed."Don't mind it too much," Kyle said with a smile. "As you can see, I have no interest in women."I nodded.I wasn't blushing because
