Self Acceptance

The meeting with the Alpha of the Vance pack was drawing closer every passing day and it was just five days to come now. Melissa was in her room with Candice, Vanessa and Richard. Today was one of those days where she was a little free and she could have time to do normal stuff before she would go to her afternoon exercise. She was already in the attire, a black sports bra and a pair of black pants. Her hair, which she hadn't had time to style or braid had grown so long it was touching her butt. She'd tied it into a ponytail while having a bandana tied around her head. She'd always dressed like this for her training, the clothing was mostly just for a boost of morale, it made her feel kind of like a soldier in combat. She checked the clock once more only to discover she was still an hour early. Melissa sighed, she wasn't really used to having a lot of time on her hands and yet in this fun mood, she didn't know what to do with her time. She glanced across the room from her chair. V

Tribulations

Melissa, Richard and Beatrice sat in a single file- all of them in a meditating posture. Margaret sat in front of them in the same posture, her eyes closed. The entire training ground was silent like the skull of a dead man. Everything felt hollow and their breaths felt like the whispers of numerous spirits as they meditated. A subtle hum was coming from the corner of the room. It was a synchronic vibrational sound that seemed to create more harmony in the room and as one listened more intently, they would discover that their breaths matched the humming sound being played by Margaret's phone. The first step to their everyday training was just sitting still and clearing one's mind. The first step was acceptance and recognizing one's failures and strength while coming to a complete wholeness with them. There should be no pain, no joy but blankness. A moment where their mind finds balance among the turbulence of emotions. Melissa had struggled with this a bit anyways. It was hard for

Drive Through

Beatrice stared at her for a while probably trying to discern something but then she shook her head and just exhaled. "If you intend for me to tell you all of my secrets, that isn't happening," she said softly- tired even. She closed her eyes, exhaling. Melissa could understand a bit of what she was facing and that was why she felt she could help. Melissa herself had gone through a lot of things and she knew talking to people doesn't help at all. Finding solutions is what helps and solutions come in different phases. She looked at Beatrice and decided she'd just go through it. It was about four o'clock in the evening and the sun would soon go down completely in an hour. If she was going to soothe and help Beatrice out, she needed to get her into a willing state in an hour. She got off her bed and then leaned forward dragging her forward. "Why am I getting dragged?" She asked in a harsh tone but her face was just tired. Melissa didn't reply, she just half dragged her till she was h

Commencement

Melissa had been sitting on her throne, in the same posture for thirty minutes and smiling at everyone. Maids and other citizens came into the throne room to get a glimpse of her. They all wanted to see how beautiful the Luna was. She could hear a series of murmurs from outside the throne room discussing her. Some were even discussing how elegant both her maids looked. Melissa shook her head, she wasn't interested in any of this. And she knew if this lasted ten minutes more she would scream. But luckily for her, after about five minutes, a procession from outside announced the arrival of the king. Everyone in the hall stood up, except Melissa. She was the Luna, hence she was the host. The rest of the people were the welcoming party. The entire room went silent, then a drumbeat boomed across the room, then another. Soon a symphony of multiple drumbeats filled the entire room and a large beat sounded, behind them in synchrony to the other beats. It was as if a warrior was walking in.

Agitated

Melissa shifted her gaze, focusing all of her attention as Hance stood up and started his speech. The man was built like an executioner. He wasn't just tall, he was huge- massive. He raised his voice to speak, and she could already feel the thundering boom would be articulated from his mouth."Good Day, people of Dunham," he said. "I am Hance, the first of the Vance Pack, and as you would all guess by mere looking at me, I am not a man who has a lot of time on his hands," he said and the gathering chuckled a bit. "The purpose of the meeting is to negotiate a peace treaty between your side and our side," he said, pointing to the side where the representatives from Dunham sat and then those of the Vance pack. "I have no good words to say, no politeness about myself. I am a very crude man, used to digging the soil with nails and lifting building blocks with his bare hands!" He continued. "This has been the tradition of the Vance pack for more than three centuries. A ruler is not just

Symbol of strength

Melissa stood up, but before she started speaking, she flared her aura, trying to detect who was using the ability of an empath. She closed her eyes and listened using her aura like a cord as she touched different people in the meeting room, her entire power flexed to the limit. She was about to dismiss her search when she felt a little exposure of the ability, she turned in the direction immediately and her eyes fell on Hance's beta. Melissa smiled at the woman and she bowed back. She connected back to Richard telepathically."It is the Beta," she said.Richard nodded and urged her to start her speech. Melissa rolled her eyes in her mind and just turned away. He was so crude about everything. She thought, then turned to the crowd, focusing all her intent on the crowd, forgetting Richard or anyone was in the room. "Good day, everyone," she smiled. "You all look lovely," she nodded at them. Melissa was still using her emotional abilities and was making sure to check hers as well so

Hance Vance Dance

Melissa almost slapped Hance's face when he spoke, what he said took her by complete surprise, and even Margaret was shocked. She didn't even put that on a list of things they would wanna say. Why would they even know of the existence of such an organisation?Maybe… except they were affected by them. Melissa remembered the last meeting they did where they were still uncertain wether the Oracle only had that one branch across Dunham or they extenced elsewhere. As it would seem now, they actually extended past the entire pack into the Vance territory. Whatever this organization's goal was, it was grander than it seemed. That was why they wouldn't hesitate to try and kill her in public. They were way more powerful than they'd initially thought. Melissa exhaled and then turned to the two wolves at their table. "I have, but only rumors," she said, trying to understand what their actual goal was. She flared her ability, focusing it on them, trying to determine the slightest shift in their

As happy as a Luna

They completed the meeting at last and Melissa began to greet the dignitaries. She shook the hand of each and everyone of Vance's council members. They all spoke to her like she was a kid, but she wasn't even focused on what was happening. She was too lost in her own thoughts to find meaning in whatever they did.Richard walked silently behind her, even though he seemed to have entirely withdrawn into his own shell. He seemed to be thinking too. Even the usually hyperactive Margaret was silent. The threat that such an organisation posed wasn't minute at all and they were already at the centre of the game, there was no coming out. She turned to a corner and there was the Infernal waiting for her at the edge of the corridor. "My, lady, "he greeted with a bow. "Infernal," Melissa nodded. "The entire meeting was great, and also congratulations on still keeping Vance with us," he said. "I just wanted to confirm if you'd decided to take up my proposition?" He asked with a smile. Meliss

Deja vu

She sat down crosslegged, facing Margaret and the others. Beatrice was seated beside Richard, both of them were on his bed, looking at the others. Melissa was actually very sleepy at this point, she could barely keep her eyes open as it was; this was one of the reasons they were using her room. Though the main reason was that, it was just a quick touch up, so they didn't forget stuff when they would actually meet. Beatrice was speaking, in a soft and silent voice, so as not to raise any alarm that they were doing a meeting. Melissa had informed all of them about Hance's request. It was hard even for Melissa to believe it as she was going through it now. She'd always thought their leader was going to be a tyrant but as it seemed, he barely held any power among his own council, just like Melissa. Unlike her though, he wasn't necessarily interested in ruling his kingdom. He didn't want the pressure, so he let the corruption fester but as it would seem, allowing the wound to fester didn

Ouroboros Cycle

"Where are you getting all these from?" Margaret asked.She realised she had never told Margaret about her past life and rightly so. She wasn't as trusted or as well grounded as the rest. Most of the people in the room, she had known for two life times and they'd earned her trust over those times as she'd earned theirs. Even her biological family could not replace the love she had for these people. These made her remember a human proverb- "The blood of covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." It meant most times, the bond one shares with people they relate with day in day out, runs deeper than one’s biological family. Even though she loved her family and she missed them everyday, the little time she'd spent with these people had been more than what she had with her family. Not to ignore the fact that they even healed her when she was hurt by the death of her family. In their own weirdly unique way, they filled that void. In place of Dreykov's love, she got Beatrice's cold s
