PERSON_PROFILE

“This is such a pleasant surprise, Seth” I croon, running to meet my mate.

It has been so long since I have seen him last and I miss the familiar scent of him and his laughter.

I throw my hands around him but he does not hug me back. If anything he seems like he does not want me to be here.

“I had no idea you were throwing a party for my homecoming” I tell him, kissing him slightly on the cheek.

“I had no idea you were back, Rowena. You should not be here” He pushes me, holding me away from his body.

“Did you not get my letter?” I ask, my smile falling from my face.

“What letter?” He grunts.

“The one where I told you I will be coming back today. You missed my graduation and I thought to surprise you by returning but it seems you did not know” My feet grows cold at this information and I back away from him.

He is staring at me, his eyes not giving the usual warmth that I am used to. It could only explain why he had not responded to any of my letters for the past months.

I gave excuses that he must be busy as Alpha and head of the pack and he could not write to me but…

Seth de Beaufort, my childhood friend and mate was staring at me like I was some stranger.

“Who then is the party for?” I ask.

I am interrupted by cheers erupting from the members of our pack and then I see her walk in, holding freshly picked flowers in her hand and a crown on her head. I know who this is, she is my best friend, Isobel but what is she doing?

I am pushed back into the crowd as she approaches. She is yet to see me as she only has eyes for Seth who is smiling back at her.

“Hello mate” I hear her whisper.

Mate? I gasp.

I push forward, stopping her approach.

“Rowena” She jolts. “What are you doing here?” She glances at Seth who shrugs his shoulders.

“I should be asking you that question, don’t you think? What are you doing?” I cry out.

“I am getting engaged” She smiles brightly at me. “It is great that you are here, maybe you could be my chief’s bridesmaid?”

“You have got to be joking” I scoff.

“Not now, Rowena. We will talk about this after” Seth stops me, putting out a hand for Isobel.

“No” I raise my voice, my insides shaking with confusion.

I cannot believe my eyes as I watch them turn to me.

“We have to talk about it now” I tell him, braving the stares I am getting from every member of the pack.

“Okay, if you want to do this here then that is fine by me” Seth growls, stepping away from Isobel and approaching me.

“Seth, what is the meaning of this? We are mates… you can still feel it so why?”

“I, Seth de Beaufort reject you, Rowena Stuart as my mate and future Luna” He declares.

“No, stop it please… do not do this” I grunt, my chest tearing apart with pain.

I double over, clutching my pounding heart.

“Accept the rejection!” He spits. “Accept it and leave so that I might have a great day with my true mate” He announces.

“I, Rowena Stuart… accept your rejection”

My chest eases up a little bit as I say this but I cannot stop the tears gushing from my eyes as I watch them walk up, smiling into each other’s eyes.

I feel betrayed by every single step and every single smile.

To think I was coming back to my fiance and my best friend and they were doing this behind my back.

I turn around, dashing out and into the dark, my eyes blinded with tears. This should not be happening.

I collapse to the ground outside the party, my heart beating rapidly like it is about to burst.

I do not turn around even when I hear the patters of feet until a throat clears behind me.

“Rowena, I…”

“Have you not done enough, Isobel?” I rise to my feet and face her.

She has a smirk on her face

“How could you? I trusted you, you are my best friend!” I cry out.

“It is hardly my fault that Seth took a liking to me while you were away pursuing the career of your dreams.” she scoffs at this.

I had gone to learn modern healing and had been supported by every member of the clan, including Seth.

“Who do you think comforted him on the nights when he was alone and needed company?”

I make to slap her but she catches my hand in the air, throwing it back at me.

“This is the least of your problems, I promise you” She tells me instead.

“What is that supposed to mean?” I ask

“Did you come here straight from the airport?” She throws her head back to laugh.

I did come there straight because I thought…

“What do you mean?” I ask her again.

“I don’t know, friend. You should probably run along home now before it is too late” She turns around and walks back into the party.

I stand there in confusion not understanding what her talk was about.

I move however, heading straight to my home with her warning ringing in my ears.

I can hear screaming coming in the direction of my home which only speeds my steps.

“What is happening?” I mutter, running inside.

Sybillia, my sister has tears streaming down her face and her clothes torn to shreds.

“What happened, talk to me” I shake her.

“Father was taken” Her voice broke.

“Taken?” I ask, confusion dotting my forehead

“They say he is a traitor and they are going to kill him, Rowena. You have to do something.” She holds me, crying some more.

“Where is mother?” I ask her.

She shakes her head in the negative which told me that she had no idea where our mother was.

“Listen, Sybil… I need you to find mother” I shake her again. “Do you hear me? I want you to find her and then I want you both to hide” I tell her.

“What are you going to do?” She asks.

“I need to find out what is going on” I mutter vaguely.

I turn around and exit, heading back to the party where I burst in regarding Seth with baleful eyes.

He notices me immediately and rolls his eyes but I approach, stopping when his guards block my path.

“My father, what has he done?” I ask, my voice breaking.

Seth, my one time lover and mate regards me with disgust, his lips quirking up in a sneer.

“He is a traitor and for that he must die”

..............................................................................
ROWENA

“That is a lie” I scream.

There are murmurs everywhere by members of the pack and I know they must think that I have lost my head coming here and yelling at the Alpha of the pack but I am too far gone to understand what I am doing.

“I will allow you leave this place and we will speak when my party is over” Seth warns me.

“I want to know what crimes my father has committed for you to lock him up” I repeat.

“Look at her” Isobel grunts, turning to Seth.

“She does not respect you, my love. Tell me how she is going to remain in this pack if she is this defiant towards you” She mutters.

Seth’s eyes darkens as he rises to his feet, pointing a hand towards me.

“You dare speak back to your Alpha?” He snaps, approaching me.

I do not take a step back even as I am intimidated by him. It is as though we are now enemies because I do not recognize him anymore as the man I used to be in love with.

“Your father has admitted to his crimes and come noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded as a traitor and so will your mother” He announces

The crowd cheers again

“You will denounce them, yourself and your sister or you will leave me no choice”

“I cannot do that… I cannot-”

“And for the crime of speaking back at me, Rowena Stuart… you will be reduced to the life of a maid and you will serve Isobel who is going to be my Luna”

My friend smiles, clasping her fingers together.

“Guards” Seth calls

The door swished open again and they enter.

“Get her out of her and make sure to keep her locked up until she denounces her bloodline. Make the announcement that I shall be marrying Isobel Howard tomorrow’s noon after the execution of Grant and Helena Stuart” He declares.

“No” I rave, trashing as both men drag me out of his tent.

They are laughing at my struggle and then I hear the loud thunk of the metal gate leading to the dungeons.

I am thrown into it, flung like useless waste paper.

I do not know how long I am in that dim pit before the doors burst open and I hear the fall of footsteps approaching where I lay.

“Rowena?” A voice calls out.

I recognize it immediately as Isobel and wonder what she wants.

“What the do you want?” I rave, my eyes red from all the crying I have been doing the past hour.

She is standing in front of me now, her lips quirked up in a smile.

“I hate you” I snap.

“What do you hate me for? For sleeping with her fiance or reporting your parents for…”

She pauses as my eyes widens in realization.

“Oops” She laughs.

“You are a slut who moved on her friend’s man almost immediately she…”

“Almost immediately?” She stops me, scoffing.

“Have you been so utterly blind, Rowena?”

Rowena, I think… she used to call me Row but I guess when you betray your friend, you do not get to use pet names any longer.

“Seth and I have been together before you both began dating. The engagement to you was his father’s idea… you do not think he wanted to get married to you, did you?” She asks.

“What are you talking about?” I mutter.

She laughs then, her voice grating on my ears.

“You have always had a stupid crush on Seth, always saying he will be your mate and so when you claimed he was your mate and your wolf has…”

“I claimed?” I stop her.

“Seth is my mate!” I scream at her

“But he is also mine!” Isobel screams back at me.

“You are lying, that is not possible”

“It is rare but not impossible and that is what we are going to tell the members of the pack. They are going to hear that my wolf has mated with his and he has rejected your bond because of your family. They are going to accept me as Luna of the pack and if you want to save yourself then you will accept Seth’s offer”

“You plotted this, didn’t you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into it” I accuse.

“Whatever are you talking about, dear girl” She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence.

“Get out” I snarl, my eyes blue with rage.

“Your parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?” She questions.

I am confused at this because I know I sent Sybil to find our mother and so if they have both been arrested then she is supposed to be with them.

“I have no idea where she is” I mutter.

“Yes you do and you are going to tell me. Tomorrow is my wedding and I am not going to have you ruin my chances at being Luna of this pack”

My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing.

“Where the is she?” Isobel asks again, approaching me.

“I have no idea” I repeat.

She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze.

“You will pay for this” She declares right before walking out and leaving me in the darkness.

I do not know how long the night lasts but the doors open again and I hear a tumble and then a yelp.

“Who’s there?” I mutter.

“Rowena?” I hear my sister.

“Sybil?” I ask, scampering to my feet.

“How are you here? I thought you somehow escaped”

“I was caught. They have mom and dad and they… they are going to kill them” She cries out.

“Come here” I mutter.

I put my hand out through the opening and touch my sister, our hands connecting and holding. I can feel her panic and I am sure she can feel mine too.

“Everything will be alright” I reassure her.

“What are we going to do?” She asks me. “We have to do something”

“We ask the moon goddess for help” I tell her.

We both close our eyes and begin praying to the moon goddess. I feel peaceful for the first time since our ordeal began and so I close my eyes, my hand still intertwined with my sister’s and I drift into sleep.

…

“Drag her out!” The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep.

I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp.

“No, leave her alone” I yell.

The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too.

“Leave my sister the …”

One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth.

“Shut your mouth, cunt” He snaps.

I can still hear her screams as I am led out into the open with members of the pack staring at me with disgust evident on their faces.

I stare back, refusing to lower my gaze. I am not a traitor and neither is any member of my family so why should I be ashamed?

I am pushed forward until we come to the clearing and I see Seth and Isobel both seated with my father and mother kneeling. They are tied up and I can see that they have both taken beatings but I do not see Sybillia anywhere.

“We are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark arts” Seth announces.

The crowd cheers and I can feel the bile rising in my mouth at the sound of their hooping.

They are happy, I think. I knew we were hated but I did not think they would be happy to see us die.

Where is my sister? Where was she taken? I think to myself.

“How do you both plead?” Seth roars, rising to his feet.

My father says nothing and so does my mother.

“I will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minute” He declares.

There are hushed protest about this but no one dares say anything to counter the Alpha of the pack.

I can see that my father is about to speak up but we are interrupted by a commotion and sounds of running. I turn around, my eyes happening upon Sybillia who is holding a crossbow aimed at Seth.

She has blood running from the center of her legs and I can see that she can hardly stand.

“No” I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards.

“You asshole” She pants.

“You cannot do this, Sybil… it is treason” I scream, tears streaming down my face.

“Put the crossbow down, Sybillia” My father’s calm voice comes through.

My sister’s eyes are bright as she stares pointedly at Seht who has not breathed a word and then she drops the crossbow.

I heave a sigh of relief at this while the guards grab the weapon, taking it away from her grasp.

There is still a hushed silence, like everyone was waiting for a reaction from the Alpha with bated breath.

I turn to Seth, his eyes are black with rage and I know there is trouble.

“Do it” I hear him say.

Do what? I am confused but I follow his eyes to where my sister remained standing. I see the swing of the sword too late as my sister is cut down.

There is a scream, a tiny high pitched scream… I realize it is me screaming before I pass out.

..............................................................................
ROWENA

“Rowena, open your eyes”

My eyes flutters open, my mother’s face in view. I am laying on the ground and my thoughts are scattered.

I turn immediately to the place I had seen my sister fall, very sure it was a bad dream. Her body is no longer there but I see the blood decorating the ground, seeping into the sand.

“No” I begin to cry, my mother holding unto me.

“Sybil” I quiver.

“She is with the goddess” My mother says, trying to comfort me.

The goddess be damned! Where is the goddess as my family is facing persecution.

“You have to denounce us” My mother whispers urgently in my ears while I cry.

“I cannot do that” I argue.

“You are going to do it for your father and I, Rowena. We are going to die, that is for sure but you do not have to die with us”

We are sitting in the sand with Seth staring at us and every member of the pack. None of them trying to help

“Mom” I wail

“Do it, Rowena” She snaps at me. “Do it for us”

“That’s enough” Seth commands, breaking our conversation.

I rise to my feet, shaking like a leaf and my eyes meet my father’s. He nods at me once, a smile on his face like he is giving his approval and he wants me to do exactly as my mother had said.

“I denounce them” I mutter, my voice breaking.

“Louder, Rowena” My mother encourages, nodding her head.

“I denounce them!” I shout, the tears streaming down my cheeks. “I am not with these traitors and I do not identify as their family”

The crowd begins jeering at me and my parents but I am staring into Seth’s face imagining all the ways I am going to make him suffer before I kill him. And Isobel? I am going to make sure she suffers for the rest of her life.

“You have done the right thing” Seth finally smiles in my direction.

He moves his head to the side and the guards grab me, dragging me away. I am led to the side and my parents are strung up while the executioner grabs his sword and begins taking slow, measured steps around them.

I make sure to leave my eyes open and my face blank. I want to see it all, I want to feel their pain and I want the hate to blossom in my heart so that when it is finally time for my revenge, I will not hesitate.

“Any last words?” Seth asks.

My father sighs at this and then he turns to me.

“You are special, Rowena. Very special and I want you to remember that” He says.

The crowd boos him while I struggle to regulate my breathing so I do not cry out loud. I can feel my wolf wailing inside me but I shut her out, not wanting to give in to the torment I am feeling.

There will be plenty time to cry when I am done avenging my family.

“You may begin” Seth declares.

The sword swings once, taking my father’s head with it. I watch as the blood sputters from his neck and my mother scream. It is almost as if I am watching the event unfolding from far away.

My mother follows next, her body crumpling beside my father’s and then I am pushed by the crowd.

I am walking to where the marriage ceremony of Seth and Isobel will take place and I watch as the elder of our pack binds them in matrimony.

I cannot get over the ringing in my ears even as I go on my knees as the rest of the crowd, hailing them both as Alpha and Luna of the pack.

“Follow me” Isobel’s voice drags me out of my reverie.

I walk behind her, stopping as she enters Seth’s tent.

“Come inside” She orders.

I walk in, my eyes coming up to hers.

“What is your plan?” She asks me.

“What are you talking about?” I shoot back.

“You denounced your family. I know you, Rowena and you would rather die than do that so what do you have planned? And do not think I do not know that you are plotting something”

“Just as you plotted?” I ask her.

“ bitch!” She raves. “He should have killed you too and somehow you are still standing here in front of me”

“I plan to serve you to the best of my ability, Isobel” I smirk at her.

I can see that she is afraid judging by the way her teeth grits in her mouth and then she raises her hand to slap me across the face.

She is stopped however by Seth who had come in without our knowledge.

“What are you doing?” He bellows.

“She insulted your Luna, Seth” Ana whines.

“That does not give you the right to slap her, Isobel. Go to your room till I call for you” He commands.

Isobel eyes me then asks me to follow her.

“Rowena will stay here” He stops her.

“What do you mean? You promised she will be my maid and serve me” She reminds him.

“I know what I said but promises can change and I want her to serve me instead.” He announces.

I raise my eyes, my lips parting in shock.

He betrays me, rejects me as his mate, kills my family and now he wants me to serve him? How low could one get? I think to myself.

“You cannot do that. What would the people of our pack say when they hear or see this? You just beheaded her parents in front of her and her sister, you seem to be forgetting she is a traitor” Isobel spat.

“It is you who is forgetting your place, Isobel Howard. I am Alpha and my word is law and you might be my Luna but you do not talk back at me.” Seth snaps.

I watch this display with mild interest.

“She is no longer your mate, Seth… I am and I want her to serve me” She tries again.

“Do not question my orders, Isobel… now leave” Seth responds to her.

“I am sorry” She mutters, exiting the tent.

I am left alone now with Seth and my heart is pounding rapidly in my chest.

“Are you okay?” He asks, touching my arm.

I try not to flinch, merely nod at his enquiry while I bite the inside of my cheek till it bleeds.

“You should sit” He says, leading me to his bed.

“I did not want this” He mutters as he caresses the side of my face.

“It is not your fault” I tell him, bringing my hand up to touch him.

My skin crawls and my wolf shrinks within me but I pay them no mind. I am going to kill him but first, I plan to make him think all is forgotten and forgiven.

Seth de Beaufort will not know what hit him until it is damn well too late… I will make sure of that.
