~Vixen~I rested my cheek against the cool glass of the car window, watching the landscape roll by.Vaelor would be pissed if he found out I flopped his order and decided to take the long route by travelling through the road.But this was something I had to do.My duties as Luna begin immediately when I enter Blackthorn.A familiar signpost came into view.Blackthorn PackAs we were cleared from the border, I started surveying the territory as the car drove by.I wasn't just looking at buildings and people.I was evaluating morale, infrastructure, loyalty and leadership of the pack within the period I was absent.For me this would be like taking on another project. Like a new CEO inspecting a company, trying to understand their strengths and weaknesses, and how to improve the system.The car suddenly slowed down as we were flagged down by guards in a checking point.“What's happening?” I asked the driver.“Oh ma'am you didn't hear?” The driver said as he parked his car away from the h

~Vixen~Staying in Blackthorn Pack was better than I imagined.Vaelor went the extra mile, not just removing Lyra and Rhaegar, but also replacing all servants that were in support of Lyra.It was as though I was given a fresh start.A fresh start that has won majority of the hearts of pack members.It was tiring managing a pack and Lunara Logistics.Vaelor had told me countless times I could drop the pack duties, especially with my pregnancy, but for some reason I kept taking on more tasks.For the past few months I was used to being surrounded by heavy workload, the sudden transition to doing basically nothing was something I couldn't accept.And the worse part?Annie wasn't here, or Nathan.It was just me and new faces of servants and Elders.Vaelor was even busier than I am, but still managing to squeeze out time to see me.And West was… well West.I stood up from my seat, stretching my arms tiredly.I checked my time.1:32pmLaurel had advised me that despite being with my pup's f

~Vaelor~I stared at the pile of official invites on my table, tiredness already seeping into my bones at the sight of it.West came in, bowing. “Alpha, it's almost time for the meeting.”I pointed to the invites and letters on the table. “Why are these here?”“These are from Alphas and dignitaries I thought you might want to consider. The rest are still piled in the mail room.”They were still more?“Turn everything down.”“Including the invites sent to the pack's official email?”I totally forgot about the online mail.“Do this instead. Release a statement from the office of the Alpha saying Blackthorn isn't attending any event till we're done with the restructuring of our pack.”“I'll tell our team to get on it.”This was spiralling more than I'd like.We were losing control of the situation.I stood, leaving the office to head outside the mansion.I followed a hallway I rarely used, spotting a group of servants engrossed in gossip that they didn't see me coming.“I heard Luna Vixe

~Vaelor~For the past hours the air has been filled with tension and pretense.My guards, though few, were on high alert, subtly watching every move he made.With his little sheathed dagger in his hand, Theron turned to me, his lips twisted in an inscrutable smile.“This is the famous garden I've been hearing about. I hope I'm not disappointed.”I scoffed. “The gloomy aesthetics of your pack already reveals your subpar taste. We're not desperate for your approval.” I don't wait for his reply, going forward to open the gate of the garden myself, gesturing for him to come inside. “Let's begin the tour.”With the smile still on his face, he walked in, the both of us moving side by side as the guards trailed behind.Theron would've been out of Blackthorn the very day he came if it weren't for the Alpha King's command.Blackthorn was chosen as the location where a new forge for the kingdom's weapons would be produced.While this wasn't a boost in the finances of the pack especially as it w

~Vaelor~Last night scene was stuck in my head.It was permanently etched in my memory.My heart leapt to my throat when I couldn't open Vie's door, the balcony sealed as well.I could still feel the shock that rippled through me when it finally burst open.It was as though I stepped into a trap in the middle of a forest.Vines filled everywhere. On the floor, walls, windows and even on the roof.And then the assassin was bounded by vines that had venom filled thorns. It penetrated through his clothes and into his skin.The venom was so poisonous that he died minutes after uncurling the vines from him.Last night was a ruckus that should never have happened.What would I have done if the blade had actually hit Vie's heart?I couldn't even think properly of such a possibility.I had to increase security.Never would Vie be left alone.Especially since Theron was still in the pack.My quiet office was interrupted by a knock at the door.I had recognized the footsteps long before the kno
