"What is going on here?"Immediately those words left Cain's mouth, Lynn and Mariella breathed in relief, the cool breeze blew past each of them as if telling them that 'Yo Ladies, her comes your prince in shining armor.'Maida on the other hand, dropped to her knees beside her uncle, head bowed to the ground as she clutched her uncle's left tightly."Uncle Gavin please!" she cried, letting out fake tears as she wailed loudly. "They have done nothing wrong, please release them."Aria furrowed her brows but said nothing. She simply stared as Maida who was surprisingly a good actress.If they didn't know her behaviour beforehand, they dud think that she was really pleading on their behalf."What's is that supposed to mean?" Lynn mumbled then scoffed."Wasn't expecting anything less than that. She surely exceeded my expectations." My Mariella smiled slightly. "She deserves an accolade for that."Maida grabbed hold of his hands,"Uncle Gavin please!!!!" she cried out, tugging him gently,

Morning sunlight filtered softly through the heavy curtains, casting a warm golden glow across the room.Cain woke slowly, his eyes immediately falling on the woman sleeping peacefully beside him.Aria was curled against his chest, one arm draped around his waist while her face rested near his heart. Her silver hair was scattered across her face, hiding part of her expression.A soft smile formed on Cain’s lips.Carefully, he lifted his hand and brushed the strands away from her face, his fingers lingering against her cheek for a moment before he gently checked her forehead.Her temperature was normal.The tightness in his chest eased instantly."Thank the Moon Goddess," he murmured quietly.He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss against her forehead.For a while, he simply watched her sleep after which he slowly, tried to get out of bed.The moment he moved, Aria frowned slightly in her sleep and immediately pulled herself closer to him, tightening her hold around his waist as if ref

Lynn asked staring down at her gown."You don't know anything Lynn," Mariella responded slipping her hands around Lynn's. "That's the main point. You could unexpectedly, in a mysterious way

"Thank you," Aria said to Beta Max as he opened the door to Cain's study for her.The moment she stepped inside, he quietly shut the door behind her.Cain sat behind his large wooden table, several opened scrolls spread before him. The warm golden light from the lanterns reflected softly against his sharp features as he read through the documents. The second he sensed her presence, he glanced up and a bright smile instantly appeared on his face."Babe," she mumbled softly as she walked toward him."Hey, mama," he whispered.Without hesitation, he pulled her gently onto his lap, his strong arms wrapping securely around her waist.A soft gasp escaped her lips."What if someone enters?" she whispered nervously."Then they will walk back out," he replied. shamelessly, his gaze lowering slowly to her pink lips.

Elder Zaphi step forward slightly on the cue of Elder Namon. "Alpha Cain, we all beseech that you make a decision fast and decide which punishment is best suited for the culprit in which we had let loose to walk around freely within the pack." An elder stepped forward also. "I agree with Elder Zaphi, the Luna had murderous instinct, so therefore, she is unfit to carry the responsibility of being a Luna."
