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. âI had no idea you were throwing a party for my homecomingâ I tell him, kissing him slightly on the cheek. âI had no idea you were back, Rowena. You should not be hereâ He pushes me, holding me away from his body. âDid you not get my letter?â I ask, my smile falling from my face. âWhat letter?â He grunts. âThe 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 knowâ 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. âWho then is the party for?â 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. âHello mateâ I hear her whisper. Mate? I gasp. I push forward, stopping her approach. âRowenaâ She jolts. âWhat are you doing here?â She glances at Seth who shrugs his shoulders. âI should be asking you that question, donât you think? What are you doing?â I cry out. âI am getting engagedâ She smiles brightly at me. âIt is great that you are here, maybe you could be my chiefâs bridesmaid?â âYou have got to be jokingâ I scoff. âNot now, Rowena. We will talk about this afterâ Seth stops me, putting out a hand for Isobel. âNoâ I raise my voice, my insides shaking with confusion. I cannot believe my eyes as I watch them turn to me. âWe have to talk about it nowâ I tell him, braving the stares I am getting from every member of the pack. âOkay, if you want to do this here then that is fine by meâ Seth growls, stepping away from Isobel and approaching me. âSeth, what is the meaning of this? We are mates⊠you can still feel it so why?â âI, Seth de Beaufort reject you, Rowena Stuart as my mate and future Lunaâ He declares. âNo, stop it please⊠do not do thisâ I grunt, my chest tearing apart with pain. I double over, clutching my pounding heart. âAccept the rejection!â He spits. âAccept it and leave so that I might have a great day with my true mateâ He announces. âI, Rowena Stuart⊠accept your rejectionâ 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 otherâs 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. âRowena, IâŠâ âHave you not done enough, Isobel?â I rise to my feet and face her. She has a smirk on her face âHow could you? I trusted you, you are my best friend!â I cry out. âIt is hardly my fault that Seth took a liking to me while you were away pursuing the career of your dreams.â she scoffs at this. I had gone to learn modern healing and had been supported by every member of the clan, including Seth. âWho do you think comforted him on the nights when he was alone and needed company?â I make to slap her but she catches my hand in the air, throwing it back at me. âThis is the least of your problems, I promise youâ She tells me instead. âWhat is that supposed to mean?â I ask âDid you come here straight from the airport?â She throws her head back to laugh. I did come there straight because I thought⊠âWhat do you mean?â I ask her again. âI donât know, friend. You should probably run along home now before it is too lateâ 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. âWhat is happening?â I mutter, running inside. Sybillia, my sister has tears streaming down her face and her clothes torn to shreds. âWhat happened, talk to meâ I shake her. âFather was takenâ Her voice broke. âTaken?â I ask, confusion dotting my forehead âThey say he is a traitor and they are going to kill him, Rowena. You have to do something.â She holds me, crying some more. âWhere is mother?â I ask her. She shakes her head in the negative which told me that she had no idea where our mother was. âListen, Sybil⊠I need you to find motherâ I shake her again. âDo you hear me? I want you to find her and then I want you both to hideâ I tell her. âWhat are you going to do?â She asks. âI need to find out what is going onâ 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. âMy father, what has he done?â I ask, my voice breaking. Seth, my one time lover and mate regards me with disgust, his lips quirking up in a sneer. âHe is a traitor and for that he must dieâ Screams of hate ROWENA âThat is a lieâ 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. âI will allow you leave this place and we will speak when my party is overâ Seth warns me. âI want to know what crimes my father has committed for you to lock him upâ I repeat. âLook at herâ Isobel grunts, turning to Seth. âShe does not respect you, my love. Tell me how she is going to remain in this pack if she is this defiant towards youâ She mutters. Sethâs eyes darkens as he rises to his feet, pointing a hand towards me. âYou dare speak back to your Alpha?â 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. âYour father has admitted to his crimes and come noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded as a traitor and so will your motherâ He announces The crowd cheers again âYou will denounce them, yourself and your sister or you will leave me no choiceâ âI cannot do that⊠I cannot-â âAnd 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 Lunaâ My friend smiles, clasping her fingers together. âGuardsâ Seth calls The door swished open again and they enter. âGet 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 tomorrowâs noon after the execution of Grant and Helena Stuartâ He declares. âNoâ 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. âRowena?â A voice calls out. I recognize it immediately as Isobel and wonder what she wants. âWhat the do you want?â 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. âI hate youâ I snap. âWhat do you hate me for? For sleeping with her fiance or reporting your parents forâŠâ She pauses as my eyes widens in realization. âOopsâ She laughs. âYou are a slut who moved on her friendâs man almost immediately sheâŠâ âAlmost immediately?â She stops me, scoffing. âHave you been so utterly blind, Rowena?â 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. âSeth and I have been together before you both began dating. The engagement to you was his fatherâs idea⊠you do not think he wanted to get married to you, did you?â She asks. âWhat are you talking about?â I mutter. She laughs then, her voice grating on my ears. âYou 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 hasâŠâ âI claimed?â I stop her. âSeth is my mate!â I scream at her âBut he is also mine!â Isobel screams back at me. âYou are lying, that is not possibleâ âIt 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 Sethâs offerâ âYou plotted this, didnât you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into itâ I accuse. âWhatever are you talking about, dear girlâ She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence. âGet outâ I snarl, my eyes blue with rage. âYour parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?â 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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ 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. âEverything will be alrightâ I reassure her. âWhat are we going to do?â She asks me. âWe have to do somethingâ âWe ask the moon goddess for helpâ 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 sisterâs and I drift into sleep. ⊠âDrag her out!â The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep. I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp. âNo, leave her aloneâ I yell. The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too. âLeave my sister the âŠâ One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth. âShut your mouth, cuntâ 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. âWe are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark artsâ 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. âHow do you both plead?â Seth roars, rising to his feet. My father says nothing and so does my mother. âI will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minuteâ 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. âNoâ I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards. âYou assholeâ She pants. âYou cannot do this, Sybil⊠it is treasonâ I scream, tears streaming down my face. âPut the crossbow down, Sybilliaâ My fatherâs calm voice comes through. My sisterâs 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. âDo itâ 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. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/e34twsogm | Le | https://www.facebook.com/100092986922851/ | 73 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | www.novel-oasis.com | VIDEO | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/e34twsogmjo1gayqwqbdyfxa?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120218744089860112&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/468175952_1989892584866776_5326058098274061768_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=FN5SshSzFT0Q7kNvgH4uGy-&_nc_oc=AdjH4xfPguv8w2KpD5V2cBUTQeXxJ9ru44BVfoObVdP84bVWLK0bvoykISG0Rh4iRli1m4KRZnn8VwWXcdk9vwgR&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&_nc_gid=AXDdEPuQfkpPpptf9Fpi3PW&oh=00_AYA9IRzTnVbESTCEZ25wFwx6RPJG6uBMmdaYRYtTgwHDIw&oe=67C42685 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Le | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp. âNo, leave her aloneâ I yell. The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too. âLeave my sister the âŠâ One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth. âShut your mouth, cuntâ 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. âWe are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark artsâ 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. âHow do you both plead?â Seth roars, rising to his feet. My father says nothing and so does my mother. âI will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minuteâ 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. âNoâ I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards. âYou assholeâ She pants. âYou cannot do this, Sybil⊠it is treasonâ I scream, tears streaming down my face. âPut the crossbow down, Sybilliaâ My fatherâs calm voice comes through. My sisterâs 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. âDo itâ 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. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/e34twsogm | Le | https://www.facebook.com/100092986922851/ | 73 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | www.novel-oasis.com | VIDEO | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/e34twsogmjo1gayqwqbdyfxa?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120218744090140112&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/468182778_2125530961177629_4788209802735272280_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=iGhaEWgM2H8Q7kNvgFiR5Mr&_nc_oc=Adho5wf3KFbH09hi9_oE9gh1BW41kWVO27Q-68eYRIT98IfZXnZHklns-iPVoNSr_mo7f7dN4sMFW_3lBYOhN0wt&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&_nc_gid=AXDdEPuQfkpPpptf9Fpi3PW&oh=00_AYAKzOBog_0eG_p6GNA_ItFggrirtOIbaKC_5FtSrko0Sg&oe=67C40934 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Le | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. âI had no idea you were throwing a party for my homecomingâ I tell him, kissing him slightly on the cheek. âI had no idea you were back, Rowena. You should not be hereâ He pushes me, holding me away from his body. âDid you not get my letter?â I ask, my smile falling from my face. âWhat letter?â He grunts. âThe 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 knowâ 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. âWho then is the party for?â 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. âHello mateâ I hear her whisper. Mate? I gasp. I push forward, stopping her approach. âRowenaâ She jolts. âWhat are you doing here?â She glances at Seth who shrugs his shoulders. âI should be asking you that question, donât you think? What are you doing?â I cry out. âI am getting engagedâ She smiles brightly at me. âIt is great that you are here, maybe you could be my chiefâs bridesmaid?â âYou have got to be jokingâ I scoff. âNot now, Rowena. We will talk about this afterâ Seth stops me, putting out a hand for Isobel. âNoâ I raise my voice, my insides shaking with confusion. I cannot believe my eyes as I watch them turn to me. âWe have to talk about it nowâ I tell him, braving the stares I am getting from every member of the pack. âOkay, if you want to do this here then that is fine by meâ Seth growls, stepping away from Isobel and approaching me. âSeth, what is the meaning of this? We are mates⊠you can still feel it so why?â âI, Seth de Beaufort reject you, Rowena Stuart as my mate and future Lunaâ He declares. âNo, stop it please⊠do not do thisâ I grunt, my chest tearing apart with pain. I double over, clutching my pounding heart. âAccept the rejection!â He spits. âAccept it and leave so that I might have a great day with my true mateâ He announces. âI, Rowena Stuart⊠accept your rejectionâ 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 otherâs 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. âRowena, IâŠâ âHave you not done enough, Isobel?â I rise to my feet and face her. She has a smirk on her face âHow could you? I trusted you, you are my best friend!â I cry out. âIt is hardly my fault that Seth took a liking to me while you were away pursuing the career of your dreams.â she scoffs at this. I had gone to learn modern healing and had been supported by every member of the clan, including Seth. âWho do you think comforted him on the nights when he was alone and needed company?â I make to slap her but she catches my hand in the air, throwing it back at me. âThis is the least of your problems, I promise youâ She tells me instead. âWhat is that supposed to mean?â I ask âDid you come here straight from the airport?â She throws her head back to laugh. I did come there straight because I thought⊠âWhat do you mean?â I ask her again. âI donât know, friend. You should probably run along home now before it is too lateâ 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. âWhat is happening?â I mutter, running inside. Sybillia, my sister has tears streaming down her face and her clothes torn to shreds. âWhat happened, talk to meâ I shake her. âFather was takenâ Her voice broke. âTaken?â I ask, confusion dotting my forehead âThey say he is a traitor and they are going to kill him, Rowena. You have to do something.â She holds me, crying some more. âWhere is mother?â I ask her. She shakes her head in the negative which told me that she had no idea where our mother was. âListen, Sybil⊠I need you to find motherâ I shake her again. âDo you hear me? I want you to find her and then I want you both to hideâ I tell her. âWhat are you going to do?â She asks. âI need to find out what is going onâ 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. âMy father, what has he done?â I ask, my voice breaking. Seth, my one time lover and mate regards me with disgust, his lips quirking up in a sneer. âHe is a traitor and for that he must dieâ Screams of hate ROWENA âThat is a lieâ 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. âI will allow you leave this place and we will speak when my party is overâ Seth warns me. âI want to know what crimes my father has committed for you to lock him upâ I repeat. âLook at herâ Isobel grunts, turning to Seth. âShe does not respect you, my love. Tell me how she is going to remain in this pack if she is this defiant towards youâ She mutters. Sethâs eyes darkens as he rises to his feet, pointing a hand towards me. âYou dare speak back to your Alpha?â 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. âYour father has admitted to his crimes and come noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded as a traitor and so will your motherâ He announces The crowd cheers again âYou will denounce them, yourself and your sister or you will leave me no choiceâ âI cannot do that⊠I cannot-â âAnd 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 Lunaâ My friend smiles, clasping her fingers together. âGuardsâ Seth calls The door swished open again and they enter. âGet 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 tomorrowâs noon after the execution of Grant and Helena Stuartâ He declares. âNoâ 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. âRowena?â A voice calls out. I recognize it immediately as Isobel and wonder what she wants. âWhat the do you want?â 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. âI hate youâ I snap. âWhat do you hate me for? For sleeping with her fiance or reporting your parents forâŠâ She pauses as my eyes widens in realization. âOopsâ She laughs. âYou are a slut who moved on her friendâs man almost immediately sheâŠâ âAlmost immediately?â She stops me, scoffing. âHave you been so utterly blind, Rowena?â 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. âSeth and I have been together before you both began dating. The engagement to you was his fatherâs idea⊠you do not think he wanted to get married to you, did you?â She asks. âWhat are you talking about?â I mutter. She laughs then, her voice grating on my ears. âYou 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 hasâŠâ âI claimed?â I stop her. âSeth is my mate!â I scream at her âBut he is also mine!â Isobel screams back at me. âYou are lying, that is not possibleâ âIt 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 Sethâs offerâ âYou plotted this, didnât you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into itâ I accuse. âWhatever are you talking about, dear girlâ She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence. âGet outâ I snarl, my eyes blue with rage. âYour parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?â 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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ 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. âEverything will be alrightâ I reassure her. âWhat are we going to do?â She asks me. âWe have to do somethingâ âWe ask the moon goddess for helpâ 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 sisterâs and I drift into sleep. ⊠âDrag her out!â The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep.

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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ 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. âEverything will be alrightâ I reassure her. âWhat are we going to do?â She asks me. âWe have to do somethingâ âWe ask the moon goddess for helpâ 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 sisterâs and I drift into sleep. ⊠âDrag her out!â The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep. I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp. âNo, leave her aloneâ I yell. The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too. âLeave my sister the âŠâ One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth. âShut your mouth, cuntâ 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. âWe are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark artsâ 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. âHow do you both plead?â Seth roars, rising to his feet. My father says nothing and so does my mother. âI will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minuteâ 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. âNoâ I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards. âYou assholeâ She pants. âYou cannot do this, Sybil⊠it is treasonâ I scream, tears streaming down my face. âPut the crossbow down, Sybilliaâ My fatherâs calm voice comes through. My sisterâs 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. âDo itâ 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. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/e34twsogm | Le | https://www.facebook.com/100092986922851/ | 73 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | www.novel-oasis.com | VIDEO | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/e34twsogmjo1gayqwqbdyfxa?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120218744089960112&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/468187203_1947668995746022_8543390100525612531_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=WHTAny527IQQ7kNvgFgjIi3&_nc_oc=Adjy6Ga0jpkotLE6D6oWZWtsHMejbGfI1AyrBj-UJ2Fq7_khI9pLr3n7OkulQHdgR69_RGiLlRGsAt5S5wQUGBdZ&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&_nc_gid=AXDdEPuQfkpPpptf9Fpi3PW&oh=00_AYBUr_G9oocevn9yzV5eA-t2FDUrsqPSF3apVB8rZA2x3w&oe=67C40C4D | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Le | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ela tem um encontro furtivo com um estranho na festa e fica grĂĄvida de um homem que ela nĂŁo sabe quem Ă© e nunca poderia encontrar. Ela guarda a lembrança desse estranho, atĂ© que conhece Alessandro Mellendez, quando vai trabalhar em uma grande empresa como assessora desse CEO estressado, impaciente e absurdamente lindo. Mas Alessandro nĂŁo queria se envolver com ela. Ele procurava por uma mulher que simplesmente desapareceu. CapĂtulo 1 â TraĂda na prĂłpria cama Cheguei em casa depois de um dia puxado e meus pais estavam me esperando na sala. - Catarina, senta aĂ que precisamos conversar. â Meu pai falou e parecia bem nervoso. - Pode falar, pai, o que aconteceu? â Perguntei ao meu pai cansado, eu tinha trabalhado o dia todo, ido pra faculdade Ă noite e, ao chegar em casa, a Ășnica coisa que eu queria era tomar um banho e cair na cama. Mas nĂŁo foi possĂvel. - Catarina, chegou o convite de casamento da sua prima. â Minha mĂŁe falou. - Aquela mulherzinha nĂŁo Ă© minha prima! â Falei jĂĄ ficando nervosa. - Catarina, ela Ă© a sua prima. â Minha mĂŁe falou. â Ă melhor vocĂȘ parar com esse ataque de infantilidade. A Melissa jĂĄ bateu nela e fez um escĂąndalo aqui em casa. Agora chega! Ela Ă© filha da minha irmĂŁ, portanto Ă© sua prima. - Me desculpa, mĂŁe, mas ela nĂŁo Ă© nada pra mim. â Tentei manter a calma. â Ela ficou com o meu namorado na minha cama, isso nĂŁo Ă© coisa que se faça. Eu namorava o ClĂĄudio hĂĄ quatro anos, ele foi meu primeiro namorado, e o encontrei na minha cama, no meu quarto, transando com a Kelly, minha prima! Eu fiquei em choque. Claro que a Melissa, minha melhor amiga, partiu pra cima deles. Desde entĂŁo as coisas ficaram tensas em minha casa, pois meus pais insistiam que era uma bobagem e que eu deveria agir como se nada tivesse acontecido e voltasse a conviver com a minha prima. - Errado foi ele, Catarina, que era seu namorado. â Minha mĂŁe argumentou. â A Kelly, coitada, foi seduzida, ele a desonrou, agora vai se casar com ela pra ela nĂŁo ficar mal falada na cidade. - Ah, mĂŁe! Me poupe e se poupe! A cidade inteira sabe que a Kelly Ă© uma vadia... â Perdi a paciĂȘncia. - Catarina, olha o vocabulĂĄrio! â Meu pai chamou a minha atenção. â Olha aqui, se vocĂȘ nĂŁo quer conviver com a Kelly tudo bem, mas vocĂȘ vai a esse casamento. E chega desse comportamento grosseiro. - Eu o quĂȘ? â Achei que eu tinha ouvido errado. - VocĂȘ vai ao casamento da sua prima, Catarina. Isso Ă© uma ordem! NĂłs somos os seus pais e vocĂȘ vai obedecer. â Minha mĂŁe falava brava comigo, como se eu fosse a errada nessa situação. - Sinto muito, mĂŁe, mas eu nĂŁo vou! Eu sigo as regras de vocĂȘs, eu sou uma boa filha, mas dessa vez nĂŁo vai dar. Eu fui a ofendida! Eu tenho todo o direito de nĂŁo querer ser a piada da famĂlia mais. â Falei jĂĄ chorando. - CHEGA, CATARINA! â Meu pai gritou e me assustou. â VocĂȘ vai a esse casamento e ponto final. - Mas, pai... - NĂŁo quero saber, Catarina! Ă importante pra sua mĂŁe manter a paz na famĂlia. EntĂŁo vocĂȘ vai e pronto. â Meu pai falou nĂŁo dando margem para questionamentos. Fui para o meu quarto e passei a noite chorando. No dia seguinte contei tudo para a Melissa, que nĂŁo perdeu tempo, arrumou os convites para um baile de mĂĄscaras, evento de gala, falando para os meus pais que seria importantĂssimo para a minha carreira, jĂĄ que os empresĂĄrios mais importantes da cidade estariam lĂĄ, eu faria contatos muito importantes e nossos professores haviam prometido nos apresentar a vĂĄrios empresĂĄrios que abririam portas para o nosso futuro profissional. Em princĂpio meus pais nĂŁo estavam muito convencidos, mas os pais da Melissa conversaram com eles e os convenceram de que seria uma excelente oportunidade para o meu futuro. EntĂŁo eles concordaram que eu deveria aproveitar a oportunidade. - Catarina, vocĂȘ nĂŁo pode me dizer nĂŁo! JĂĄ comprei os convites, as mĂĄscaras e jĂĄ atĂ© convenci seus pais de que Ă© um evento importantĂssimo para o seu futuro profissional, o que me deu um trabalhĂŁo. Essa festa vai ser incrĂvel e vocĂȘ nĂŁo vai perder! â Melissa, falava e me olhava com os olhos de um cachorrinho abandonado, juntando as mĂŁos como se suplicando. Eu estava sentada em minha mesa no trabalho, no meio da tarde de uma quinta feira, entre anotar recados e fazer ligaçÔes, e a Mel apareceu com cafĂ©, bolinhos de chocolate e essa insistĂȘncia para eu aceitar ir no baile de mĂĄscaras que acontecia anualmente e era o maior evento em nossa cidade. - Ai, Mel, como Ă© que pode eu nĂŁo conseguir dizer nĂŁo pra vocĂȘ? EstĂĄ bem, eu vou! Eu concordei em ir ao baile, mas eu ainda nĂŁo tinha certeza. De qualquer forma eu iria dormir na casa da Mel para fugir do casamento, mas nĂŁo iria Ă festa, contudo, Melissa tanto fez que me convenceu a ir pra festa. No sĂĄbado nos arrumamos na casa dela. - QuĂȘ isso, hein, amiga! TĂĄ gata demais! â Ela me entregou uma mĂĄscara dourada, linda, toda trabalhada como se fosse uma renda, que cobria atĂ© o nariz e eu a coloquei. Eu usava um vestido de cetim vermelho brilhante e a mĂĄscara combinou perfeitamente. â EntĂŁo, estamos prontas? - Sim estamos prontas. â Respondi e peguei minha bolsa. â Ih, esqueci meu perfume. - NĂŁo, tem problema, vocĂȘ vai usar o perfume novo da minha mĂŁe. Ela nĂŁo se importa. Quando o Fernando, namorado da Mel, nos viu sorriu, deu um beijo na Mel e disse: - Garotas, vocĂȘs estĂŁo lindĂssimas! Acho que vocĂȘ vai sair dessa festa com um namorado novo, Cat. - Sem namorado, Nando. Na verdade, eu acho que Ă© melhor eu ficar, eu nĂŁo estou no clima pra festa. Por favor, Mel, deixa eu ficar? CAPĂTULO 2: O grande baile, a tequila, os cosmopolitans e o estranho irresistĂvel NĂŁo teve jeito, minha amiga me arrastou para o baile. Logo que entramos a Mel nos arrastou para o bar e falou no meu ouvido: - A festa Ă© open bar, entĂŁo hoje vocĂȘ vai beber para afogar de vez a tristeza! âA Mel me entregou dois shots de tequila e com mais dois em suas mĂŁos me falou: - Vamos virar! â viramos a tequila e o Fernando jĂĄ entregava uma taça de cosmopolitan para cada uma. Melissa me arrastou para a pista de dança e atĂ© que eu estava me divertindo. Começou uma mĂșsica lenta e o Nando e a Mel começaram a dançar agarradinhos, aproveitei a deixa e me encaminhei para o buffet, mas nĂŁo consegui chegar, senti uma mĂŁo puxando a minha e quando olhei para trĂĄs havia um homem com uma mĂĄscara preta sorrindo pra mim, e que sorriso! Ele beijou minha mĂŁo e me puxou para perto dizendo no meu ouvido com uma voz rouca: - A mulher mais linda do salĂŁo nĂŁo vai me negar uma dança, vai? - E por que nĂŁo? Vamos dançar. â Sorri pra ele. Era impossĂvel resistir aquela voz rouca sedutora e aquele sorriso lindo meio de lado! Ele era alto, ombros largos, um sorriso encantador e olhos azuis, tĂŁo azuis que eram quase violeta. Ele tinha uma boca que convidava ao pecado, cabelos castanhos, e quando me puxou pela cintura eu apoiei as mĂŁos em seu corpo e percebi que ele era uma parede de mĂșsculos bem definidos. Embora a mĂĄscara nĂŁo permitisse ver seu rosto, ele era muito charmoso e encantador. - Eu estava observando vocĂȘ desde que chegou. â Aquele homem, com ar misterioso, falou no meu ouvido. â VocĂȘ Ă© tĂŁo linda! - VocĂȘ Ă© gentil. Mas vocĂȘ nĂŁo Ă© da cidade, Ă©? â Ele tinha uma presença forte, emanava poder. - NĂŁo. Um amigo me convenceu a vir a essa festa. - Parece que temos algo em comum, meus amigos tambĂ©m me convenceram a vir. - Sorte minha! - E por que? â Sorri. - Porque eu fiquei fascinado quando te vi. VocĂȘ Ă© muito linda. â Enquanto ele falava no meu ouvido eu ia me arrepiando, sentindo meu rosto esquentar e o corpo formigar, ele realmente me encantou. - Mesmo com a mĂĄscara? - Mesmo com a mĂĄscara! VocĂȘ Ă© linda demais. - VocĂȘ Ă© um sedutor. - VocĂȘ me acha sedutor? - VocĂȘ sabe que Ă©. E lindo tambĂ©m. - Que bom que vocĂȘ gosta do que vĂȘ. â Eu me senti um pouco zonza, nĂŁo sei se pela bebida ou pelo perfume delicioso que aquele homem usava. Acabei tropeçando nos meus prĂłprios pĂ©s. - VocĂȘ estĂĄ bem? - Acho que preciso de um pouco de ar. - Vem comigo. - Ele me puxou para um corredor sem iluminação que dava para uma saĂda de emergĂȘncia e ficou assoprando o meu rosto. â Eu quero muito te beijar. Posso? â Eu fiz que sim com a cabeça. Ele olhou nos meus olhos, segurou a minha nuca e nossos lĂĄbios se encontraram, começou lento, mas foi se aprofundando, ele me encostou na parede e o beijo se intensificou ainda mais, quase nos roubando o fĂŽlego, quando ele interrompeu o beijo para respirarmos, nos olhamos nos olhos, foi como jogar gasolina no fogo, ele passou a mĂŁo pela minha cintura, desceu atĂ© minha coxa e puxou minha perna para sua cintura. Eu jĂĄ estava completamente entregue nesse momento, sentindo seu corpo contra o meu, eu fiquei louca de tesĂŁo e o puxei para mais perto envolvendo sua cintura com minha perna. - VocĂȘ beija bem! â Sorri pra ele e senti meu corpo todo se arrepiar. â Ah, linda, vocĂȘ Ă© incrĂvel, eu quero muito vocĂȘ, aqui, agora! â ele disse entre beijos e enfiou a mĂŁo sob o meu vestido o puxando pra cima e chegando a minha calcinha. Eu estava em chamas quando ele enfiou a mĂŁo dentro da minha calcinha e gemeu. â Ah! Que delĂcia! TĂŁo quente, tĂŁo molhadinha! â Disse e me beijou com mais força, enquanto abria o zĂper da sua calça. Com um movimento rĂĄpido, de quem jĂĄ tinha feito aquilo antes, ele rasgou minha calcinha e acariciou minha entrada, como se pedisse permissĂŁo. Olhou nos meus olhos de novo e me perguntou: - O que vocĂȘ quer que eu faça? - Eu quero que vocĂȘ esteja dentro de mim agora! â Respondi sem nenhum pudor, eu jĂĄ estava arfando de tanto tesĂŁo. Eu nĂŁo resisti aqueles olhos e aquela voz rouca. Eu nunca fui assim, normalmente eu teria me desvencilhado dele no momento em que me puxou pela mĂŁo, mas aquela noite eu havia prometido a mim mesma que iria me divertir e se aparecesse alguĂ©m interessante eu viveria o momento. E era o que eu estava fazendo, vivendo aquele momento. Ao me ouvir, ele foi entrando em mim devagar, observando eu encostar minha cabeça na parede e aproveitar cada centĂmetro dele, e ele era enorme. Ele aproveitou para espalhar beijos pelo meu pescoço. Quando acabou de entrar ele parou e falou entre beijos no meu ouvido: - Agora eu vou me mexer. â E começou a sair, sĂł pra entrar de novo com toda força dessa vez, e foi uma delĂcia, eu estava completamente entregue e enlouquecida com os movimentos dele que entrava e saia de mim freneticamente. Nos descontrolamos e nos entregamos totalmente, como se nĂŁo tivesse nada ao nosso redor, eu senti uma nĂ©voa em meus olhos e o climax começando a se formar e gemi baixinho no ouvido dele, nesse momento parece que ele enlouqueceu, puxou minha outra perna para sua cintura e eu o entrelacei. Me beijando intensamente ele entrava e saia com mais força ainda em mim, era o paraĂso na terra. Eu gozei gemendo na boca dele e foi um climax incrĂvel, mas ele continuou o movimento e logo outro climax se formou, e gozei novamente, um climax ainda maior que o anterior que me deixou sem fĂŽlego, enquanto eu gozava ele me disse baixinho que estava no limite me sentindo pulsar ao seu redor, logo eu senti o gozo dele quente dentro de mim. Ficamos ali encostados naquela parede, totalmente sem fĂŽlego, a testa dele encostada a minha. Enquanto me beijava, ele começou a sair de mim e eu estava completamente bem comida, como diria a Melissa. Eu sorri e ele me olhou, me deu um selinho e disse: - VocĂȘ Ă© realmente incrĂvel! Gentilmente ele baixou minhas pernas atĂ© meus pĂ©s tocarem o chĂŁo, colocou o meu vestido em ordem, arrumou sua calça e me abraçou. Isso foi tĂŁo Ăntimo, tĂŁo afetuoso, apesar da loucura daquele encontro e da ferocidade com que nos entregamos, ele ainda era cuidadoso comigo. Eu nunca tinha tido uma relação tĂŁo maravilhosa, mas eu sĂł tinha transado com meu ex atĂ© entĂŁo. E meu ex nunca tinha se preocupado em me abraçar depois, nem se preocupava com meu prazer, para ele a coisa se resumia a entrar e sair atĂ© ele estar satisfeito, entĂŁo, o fato de um homem se preocupar comigo, com meu prazer, cuidar de mim, foi novidade, e uma novidade incrĂvel. Ele me deu um beijo no pescoço e perguntou no meu ouvido: - EntĂŁo, linda, eu ainda nĂŁo sei o seu nome. â Levei segundos para processar e finalmente me dar conta de que acabei de transar com um completo estranho e nem sei o nome dele. Quando eu ia abrir a boca pra falar, ele puxou o celular do bolso e me pediu um minuto para atender. Se afastou um pouco e sĂł pude ouvir ele elevando a voz e dizendo: - O que vocĂȘ disse? â Nesse momento aquele estranho saiu correndo como se tivesse se esquecido de mim, ou como se sĂł estivesse fugindo da rapariga que comeu rapidinho na festa. Mas e daĂ? Foda-se eu sĂł estava me divertindo tambĂ©m e eu nem sabia quem era o cara e ele nĂŁo sabia quem eu era. Tudo certo. Me recompus, procurei minha calcinha rasgada inutilmente, onde ele a teria jogado eu nĂŁo faço ideia, e saĂ daquele corredor. Voltei pra mesa e encontrei a Mel e o Nando se agarrando. Logo eles pararam e focaram em mim: - Mel, acho que encontrei o Lobo Mau! â Eu ri e ela riu comigo. - Quando chegarmos em casa quero saber tudo! - Claro que quer! â respondi com os olhos brilhando. - PrĂncipe, acho que jĂĄ podemos ir. O que acha, Cat? - Eu estou pronta quando vocĂȘs quiserem! â falei virando um copo de ĂĄgua. - EntĂŁo vamos, garotas! â Fernando falou e nos conduziu para a saĂda. Mal chegamos e a Mel jĂĄ foi me ordenando: - Conta tudo, quem Ă©, como foi, como nĂŁo foi, tudo. Eu ri e contei tudo pra ela, quando terminei de falar minha amiga me olhava de boca aberta e me perguntou: - VocĂȘs usaram camisinha, nĂ©? Meu coração disparou! A gente nĂŁo usou preservativo. E eu balancei a cabeça em negativa para ela, eu estava em choque por me dar conta do quĂŁo descuidada eu fui. Ela jĂĄ foi logo me acalmando: - NĂŁo, Cat, calma. Com certeza nĂŁo vai dar nada. Mas vocĂȘ deve fazer uns exames para garantir que estĂĄ tudo bem. Vou na cozinha preparar um chĂĄ pra gente. NĂŁo surta! CAPĂTULO 3: Chegou a hora da verdade Na segunda, na hora do almoço, encontrei a Mel e ela me entregou uma sacolinha de uma loja chique. Olhei pra ela sem entender. - Minha mĂŁe mandou eu te entregar. Ela disse que ele Ă© perfeito para vocĂȘ e nĂŁo combina com ela. â A Mel falou com um grande sorriso. Abri a sacolinha e lĂĄ dentro estava o perfume que eu usei para ir ao baile. Eu abri um grande sorriso. Eu amei aquele perfume e ele era parte da melhor noite da minha vida. Liguei para o laboratĂłrio e fui informada que precisaria apresentar um pedido mĂ©dico para fazer os exames pelo plano de saĂșde. Graças a Deus a empresa pagava plano de saĂșde para os funcionĂĄrios, porque se nĂŁo, nĂŁo sei o que faria, meu salĂĄrio nĂŁo era alto e o pouco que sobrava depois de cobrir as despesas da faculdade eu ajudava em casa, jĂĄ que minha mĂŁe nĂŁo trabalhava fora e meu pai tambĂ©m nĂŁo ganhava muito como motorista. EntĂŁo marquei o mĂ©dico que sĂł tinha horĂĄrio para quinze dias depois e aguardei agoniada. Quanto mais os dias passavam mais nervosa eu estava, a Mel fazia de tudo para me acalmar. Na data marcada ela foi comigo ao mĂ©dico. Com a lista de exames nas mĂŁos ela mesma marcou o laboratĂłrio e fez questĂŁo de me acompanhar. JĂĄ tinham se passado trĂȘs semanas desde a festa quando eu finalmente consegui fazer os exames. Os resultados saĂram cinco dias depois e eu voltei ao mĂ©dico. Claro que a Mel estava comigo. O mĂ©dico verificou os resultados e me olhou nos olhos: - Srta. Catarina, sua saĂșde estĂĄ Ăłtima. VocĂȘ estĂĄ saudĂĄvel. Mas, daqui pra frente terĂĄ que se cuidar melhor. Eu respirei aliviada Ele continuou falando: - ParabĂ©ns, vocĂȘ estĂĄ grĂĄvida! Vou encaminhĂĄ-la para um ginecologista obstetra para que vocĂȘ faça o prĂ© natal.... Eu nĂŁo ouvi mais nada, sĂł o sangue pulsando em meus ouvidos. Eu nĂŁo podia acreditar nisso! GrĂĄvida? Como eu iria explicar? NĂŁo Ă© possĂvel. Na primeira vez que deixo a racionalidade de lado acabo grĂĄvida e nem sei quem Ă© o pai! A Mel segurava minha mĂŁo e repetia: - Calma, Cat, vai ficar tudo bem! Como ficaria tudo bem? Eu nem sabia quem era o pai. Eu teria que contar isso para os meus pais, sua Ășnica filha acabaria com eles. Eles ficariam decepcionados, iriam me odiar, me colocariam pra fora de casa. Como eu ia explicar que nĂŁo sei nem como Ă© a cara do pai do meu filho? Eu jĂĄ estava hiperventilando. De repente, senti o mĂ©dico pegando minha mĂŁo e falando calmamente: - Filha, calma! A situação, pelo que percebo, nĂŁo Ă© a melhor, mas vocĂȘ nĂŁo pode ficar nervosa assim, isso farĂĄ mal para o seu bebĂȘ, agora vocĂȘ tem que se cuidar por ele. Tenho certeza que as pessoas que te amam vĂŁo te apoiar e ajudar. Mas vocĂȘ precisa se acalmar, porque sĂł vocĂȘ pode cuidar para que esse bebĂȘ se desenvolva saudĂĄvel e nasça forte. VocĂȘ me compreende? O mĂ©dico pediu a secretĂĄria para trazer um chĂĄ de camomila para mim e enquanto eu bebia o chĂĄ e tentava me acalmar ele passava todas as informaçÔes para a Melissa que ouvia tudo atentamente. SaĂmos do consultĂłrio e a Melissa me levou para uma lanchonete dizendo que nĂłs precisĂĄvamos comer alguma coisa. Logo que me sentei senti as lĂĄgrimas caĂrem. Minha amiga me abraçou e me disse mais uma vez que eu nĂŁo estava sozinha. Olhei para ela e disse: - A Ășnica certeza que tenho agora Ă© que quero vocĂȘ e o Nando como padrinhos do meu filho, porque sei que vocĂȘs vĂŁo apoiĂĄ-lo e dar a ele muito amor. Os olhos dela brilharam e ela explodiu em lĂĄgrimas e soluçando me respondeu: - Eu vou ser a melhor madrinha do mundo e vou estar sempre perto do nosso bebĂȘ! E tenho certeza que o Nando vai ficar muito feliz tambĂ©m! Ela garantiu que estaria ao meu lado sempre, deixou claro que eu nĂŁo passaria por nada sozinha e que estaria comigo quando eu fosse falar com meus pais. Meus pais... ai! Comecei a raciocinar e decidi que nĂŁo iria esconder deles nem por um dia, ia contar naquela noite mesmo, nĂŁo iria a faculdade, pois iria pra casa falar com eles. A Mel logo me apoiou e disse: - EntĂŁo vamos, eu estou com vocĂȘ! Quando chegamos em minha casa meus pais se assustaram e minha mĂŁe jĂĄ veio toda preocupada: - Meninas, vocĂȘs nĂŁo foram a aula hoje? EstĂĄ tudo bem? - NĂŁo muito, mĂŁe. Eu preciso falar com vocĂȘs. Meus pais perceberam logo que era algo muito sĂ©rio. Nos sentamos todos na sala e eu contei a eles o que estava acontecendo e que eu fui irresponsĂĄvel e fiquei com um estranho na festa, nĂŁo entrei em detalhes obviamente, mas deixei claro que nĂŁo poderia encontrar o pai do meu filho de novo. A decepção nos olhos deles era evidente. Minha mĂŁe soluçava de tanto chorar e dizia que eu estava arruinada. Meu pai atĂ© entĂŁo nĂŁo havia dito nada. A Melissa vendo como minha mĂŁe estava nervosa foi logo na cozinha e voltou com um copo de ĂĄgua com açĂșcar para ela. Melissa sempre dĂĄ ĂĄgua com açĂșcar pra quem estĂĄ nervoso dizendo que acalma, eu nunca entendi isso. Por fim, meu pai falou: - VocĂȘ cometeu um erro muito grande e nĂŁo tem volta. Ouvir meu pai enfatizar que eu errei fez meu coração doer ainda mais. Eu comecei a chorar e fui falando: - Eu sei, pai, eu fui irresponsĂĄvel. Mas agora nĂŁo tem jeito. Eu vou deixar a faculdade para poder criar meu filho. E jĂĄ vou fazer minha mala... - Fazer a mala? VocĂȘ estĂĄ muito enganada se acha que vai sair dessa casa assim. VocĂȘ errou, nos decepcionou, mas nĂłs te amamos, vamos superar isso e vamos ajudar vocĂȘ. VocĂȘ nĂŁo estĂĄ sozinha, minha filha! E essa criança tambĂ©m nĂŁo! â Meu pai disse isso e meu coração se encheu de esperança. - Mas pai, eu envergonhei vocĂȘs... - VocĂȘ nĂŁo Ă© a primeira e nĂŁo serĂĄ a Ășltima mĂŁe solteira nesse mundo. NĂłs gostarĂamos que as coisas fossem diferentes para vocĂȘ, que nĂŁo fossem tĂŁo difĂceis. VocĂȘ sempre foi tĂŁo responsĂĄvel! Mas, se Ă© assim, nĂłs vamos enfrentar isso. VocĂȘ nĂŁo vai deixar a faculdade, mais do que nunca vocĂȘ precisa crescer na vida para cuidar do seu filho, vocĂȘ vai ser mĂŁe solteira, sua responsabilidade Ă© muito grande. NĂłs vamos te ajudar e, mesmo que seja com dificuldade, vai dar tudo certo. A Melissa jĂĄ estava chorando e logo falou com os meus pais: - Sr. AntĂŽnio, Dona Celina, vocĂȘs contem comigo, vou ajudar em tudo! AtĂ© porque eu sou a madrinha desse bebĂȘ, a Cat Ă© como uma irmĂŁ pra mim, e vou estar sempre por perto. Meus pais olharam para ela com gratidĂŁo. Eu olhei para aqueles trĂȘs me sentindo completamente abençoada por tĂȘ-los em minha vida, cheia de amor por eles e um sentimento totalmente novo por aquele serzinho que ainda crescia dentro de mim e que eu acabava de descobrir a existĂȘncia! Por mais difĂcil que fosse ser mĂŁe solteira, aquela noite no baile foi a melhor noite da minha vida. Eu nunca vou poder esquecer aqueles olhos azuis violeta me olhando com adoração durante nosso encontro furtivo e tudo o que meu corpo experimentou naquela noite. Eu sempre teria essa doce lembrança comigo. Os meses seguintes foram difĂceis. Guardei em uma caixa o vestido, os sapatos, a mĂĄscara e o perfume que a mĂŁe da Mel me deu. Em dias difĂceis eu abria aquela caixa e revivia em minha memĂłria aquela noite. Embora eu tenha tido uma gravidez tranquila, os comentĂĄrios e a maldade das pessoas era difĂcil suportar. Para piorar, depois que se casaram, meu ex e minha prima foram morar com os pais dela, que moravam na mesma rua que nĂłs, e eles faziam questĂŁo de me humilhar com comentĂĄrios maldosos sempre que me viam e espalharam no bairro inteiro que eu nĂŁo sabia quem era o pai do meu filho e que eu era uma perdida, por isso que o ClĂĄudio me deixou. Eu queria matĂĄ-los! A mĂŁe da Kelly, que era irmĂŁ da minha mĂŁe, tambĂ©m nĂŁo perdia a oportunidade de ir lĂĄ em casa nos atormentar, dizendo que ainda bem que a filha dela nĂŁo era como eu, que era uma boa moça, que tinha se casado com um homem decente. Parecia ter esquecido que aquela puta roubou meu namorado e transou com ele na minha cama. Mas eu engolia tudo, nĂŁo valia a pena bater boca com essa gente e eu nĂŁo queria transmitir sentimentos ruins ao meu filho. Quanto mais os dias passavam, mais eu amava aquele bebĂȘ, eu nĂŁo tinha ideia que poderia existir um amor assim. Tudo o que eu fazia, fazia por ele. Eu o protegeria de tudo, eu daria a minha vida por ele. E, por incrĂvel que pareça, com a gravidez parecia que todas as coisas fluĂam para o meu bem, tudo ia se encaminhando e dando certo. Descobri que eu teria um menino e decidi que se chamaria Pedro. E assim foi. Pedro nasceu saudĂĄvel, com um par de imensos olhos azuis violeta que nunca me deixariam esquecer da noite que mudou a minha vida, mas que foi a melhor noite que eu vivi! Eu nunca esqueceria aquele homem! CAPĂTULO 4: Depois da faculdade Quando eu me formei, Pedro jĂĄ estava com dois anos. A essa altura ele jĂĄ andava para todos os lados, sempre agarrado na vovĂł, que foi a primeira palavrinha que ele disse. Era um menino lindo, cabelinhos amigos bem lisinhos, pele clara, um nariz arrebitadinho e aqueles enormes olhos violeta que me faziam suspirar. Ele era o meu sol! E agora eu teria mais tempo pra ele. ApĂłs a formatura meu chefe me chamou para conversar, ele era um Ăłtimo chefe, disse que estava muito feliz comigo na empresa, mas sabia que eu merecia chegar muito longe, entĂŁo eu deveria procurar emprego na minha ĂĄrea, que ele compreenderia. Garantiu que meu emprego na construtora seria meu enquanto eu quisesse e que se eu saĂsse e nĂŁo desse certo eu teria para onde voltar. Mas que eu deveria buscar algo na minha ĂĄrea de formação, para dar um futuro muito melhor para o meu filho. Eu fiquei muito emocionada com isso e aceitei o seu bom conselho. Contei pra Melissa e ela logo me disse que ia falar com o pai dela para que ele acionasse alguns contatos. E nĂŁo demorou, o Sr. OtĂĄvio Lascuran, pai da Mel, me chamou no escritĂłrio dele e me entregou um cartĂŁo, me dizendo: - Catarina, sei que vocĂȘ Ă© uma Ăłtima garota e uma boa profissional. Falei com um amigo e ele conseguiu uma entrevista para vocĂȘ no Grupo Mellendez, Ă© para o cargo de assistente do CEO do grupo. Se vocĂȘ conseguir esse emprego vai exercer sua profissĂŁo em uma empresa global, Ă© um excelente cargo, mas nĂŁo Ă© aqui em CampanĂĄrio. VocĂȘ teria que se mudar para Porto ParaĂso. Eu sei que Ă© um passo enorme, mas acho que vocĂȘ deveria considerar, vai ser excelente para vocĂȘ. Enfim, envie um e-mail para o endereço eletrĂŽnico no cartĂŁo com a sua resposta desistindo da vaga ou aceitando a entrevista virtual. - Sr. Lascuran, eu nĂŁo tenho palavras para agradecer! VocĂȘs sempre foram tĂŁo bons comigo! O Grupo Mellendez Ă© um dos maiores conglomerados de empresas do paĂs! Trabalhar lĂĄ Ă© um sonho! Eu vou aceitar a entrevista sim, se tiver que me mudar eu vou, sei que serĂĄ uma grande oportunidade. â falei com convicção, pois nĂŁo seria ruim me afastar daquelas pessoas maldosas da minha famĂlia, principalmente agora que a ârainhaâ Kelly estava grĂĄvida e a mĂŁe dela resolveu pedir tudo que Ă© do Pedro pro rebento do casal canalha! Ainda bem que minha mĂŁe disse a ela que isso era um absurdo, mas que de qualquer forma seria impossĂvel, pois eu jĂĄ havia dado tudo que nĂŁo servia mais para o Pedro para uma conhecida que estava grĂĄvida. Minha mĂŁe andava muito chateada com a irmĂŁ, pois ela estava sempre se desfazendo do meu filho, sempre se referia a ele como o menino sem pai e isso magoou muito minha mĂŁe. Indo embora dessa cidade, sĂł vou lamentar em deixar meus pais e meus amigos, mas sei que eles vĂŁo me apoiar mais uma vez. Agradeci ao Sr. Lascuran e sai do escritĂłrio. Cheguei a minha mesa e falei com o meu chefe, outro Sr. Lascuran, mas ele nĂŁo gostava de ser chamado assim entĂŁo o chamava pelo nome: - Aldo, seu irmĂŁo conseguiu uma entrevista pra mim no Grupo Mellendez. Ele sorriu: - Eu sei, ele acabou de me ligar, acho que vocĂȘ deve agarrar a oportunidade, se nĂŁo der certo vocĂȘ volta. Sorri pra ele e fui logo enviar o e-mail para marcar a entrevista. Recebi rapidamente a confirmação de que a entrevista seria no dia seguinte Ă s dez horas da manhĂŁ, jĂĄ que eu jĂĄ havia tomado a iniciativa de enviar o meu currĂculo, a entrevista seria rĂĄpida. Naquela noite em casa falei com os meus pais que entenderam, mesmo se preocupando em como eu ia cuidar de uma criança sozinha em outra cidade e ficando chorosos porque ficariam longe do neto. Me apoiaram como sempre e ficaram felizes com a oportunidade que eu recebi. Pedi que eles nĂŁo contassem para ninguĂ©m. Quando a Mel chegou, ela ia todos os dias ver o afilhado, contei tudo e ela me ajudou a me preparar para o dia seguinte. Na hora da entrevista, fui para a sala de reuniĂ”es do meu trabalho, meu chefe havia me liberado, me sentei e esperei a chamada. Fui entrevistada por uma senhora muito gentil e inteligente, Sra. Mariana Toledo. Foi muito agradĂĄvel, conversamos por duas horas, ela me passou todas as informaçÔes do cargo, salĂĄrio e benefĂcios, no final ela me disse: - Catarina, vocĂȘ estĂĄ contratada! VocĂȘ vai me substituir, jĂĄ que eu estou indo para um cargo de diretoria na filial de Londres, entĂŁo vocĂȘ ocuparĂĄ meu cargo aqui. De modo que gostaria que vocĂȘ começasse o mais rĂĄpido possĂvel, pois eu viajo daqui a dez dias e gostaria de lhe passar tudo antes de ir. E tambĂ©m nĂŁo gostaria de reagendar a minha partida. Quando vocĂȘ pode começar? - Eu preciso apenas que meu chefe me libere, mas creio que posso estar aĂ na segunda. â JĂĄ era sexta, serĂĄ que o Aldo concordaria em me liberar ainda hoje? - Perfeito. VocĂȘ pode me enviar um e-mail confirmando depois de falar com ele. VocĂȘ tem alguma dĂșvida? - NĂŁo, senhora. EstĂĄ tudo claro. -Ătimo! Bem vinda ao Grupo Mellendez, tenho certeza que vocĂȘ vai se sair muito bem. Te espero na segunda. Ela encerrou a chamada e meu coração estava disparado, eu tinha conseguido. O emprego era Ăłtimo, o salĂĄrio melhor ainda e eu ainda teria chance de progredir. Era um sonho. Mas era hora de correr para resolver tudo. Fui imediatamente falar com meu chefe. Ele ficou feliz, ligou para a contabilidade e mandou fazer meu acerto imediatamente. ApĂłs o acerto ele me liberou, disse que eu teria sempre um lugar para voltar se precisasse, mas que sabia que eu iria me dar muito bem. O agradeci por tudo e saĂ. Mandei o e-mail de confirmação para a Sra. Mariana, dizendo que na segunda, Ă s oito da manhĂŁ, estaria na empresa, e fui logo falar com a Mel e o pai dela, tinha que agradecer. E aĂ foi a Mel quem me surpreendeu: - O que vocĂȘ achou, que ia levar meu afilhado embora assim? NĂŁo vai mesmo! Meu pai conseguiu uma entrevista para mim na Lince Mundi em Porto ParaĂso. Eu vou me mudar com vocĂȘ e vamos morar juntas. O que acha? Isso era perfeito! Fiquei muito feliz, mas logo perguntei: - Mel, mas e o Nando? - O Nando jĂĄ pediu na empresa a transferĂȘncia dele pra filial de Porto ParaĂso, lĂĄ ele terĂĄ mais oportunidades tambĂ©m. Ele vai daqui a quinze dias. Amiga, vida nova para nĂłs trĂȘs. Eu estava muito feliz. A Mel jĂĄ havia orquestrado tudo. O Nando ia nos levar e ela ficaria com o Pedro para eu trabalhar atĂ© conseguirmos a creche. Ela jĂĄ tinha trĂȘs creches para visitar e o pai dela jĂĄ havia disponibilizado um apartamento mobiliado na cidade pra gente. Era bom demais, eu estava atĂ© com medo. Percebendo, a Mel me cutucou e me disse: - Aprenda a aceitar as coisas boas que a vida te oferece! Eu sorri pra ela e fomos para a casa dos meus pais. Era hora de dar a notĂcia e nos despedir. Porto ParaĂso fica do outro lado do paĂs, entĂŁo ficarĂamos sem nos ver um tempo. Meus pais ficaram felizes, atĂ© eu dizer que partiria na manhĂŁ seguinte, aĂ a despedida foi uma tristeza. Era difĂcil deixĂĄ-los para trĂĄs, mas era necessĂĄrio. Com o salĂĄrio que eu receberia, poderia ajudĂĄ-los agora. Isso era bom. Na manhĂŁ seguinte o Nando e a Mel chegaram pontualmente. O pai da Mel deu uma caminhonete de presente para ela, o que facilitou muito fazer nossa mudança. O Nando colocou tudo na caminhonete e lĂĄ fomos nĂłs, seria o dia todo na estrada. Chegamos a Porto ParaĂso jĂĄ era tarde da noite de sĂĄbado, Pedrinho estava muito cansado, se divertiu muito durante a viagem, era tudo novidade. Nos acomodamos, pedimos comida e depois de comer fomos dormir. No domingo percorremos a cidade reconhecendo tudo, Porto ParaĂso era uma cidade muito grande, cheia de indĂșstrias, muito moderna, ficava no litoral e o porto atraia muitos negĂłcios para a cidade, era um centro urbano de primeiro mundo. O apartamento em que irĂamos morar ficava perto de uma das creches que a Mel havia contactado, isso era Ăłtimo, e tambĂ©m nĂŁo ficava longe da empresa, de metrĂŽ eu chegaria em vinte minutos. Era lindo, decorado em estilo moderno e bem arejado e iluminado, com janelas enormes. Ă noite deixamos o Nando no aeroporto e de volta em casa fomos descansar, o dia seguinte seria um grande dia, eu começaria no emprego e a Mel faria sua entrevista virtual e marcaria com a diretora da creche perto do apartamento para irmos conhecer e conversar. Coloquei meu filho na cama, ele estava cansado de tanto que se divertiu hoje. Eu observei por um tempo seu soninho tranquilo e estava confiante de que aqui nĂłs terĂamos uma vida muito boa. Pedro agora tinha seu prĂłprio quarto, eu e a Mel combinamos de comprar umas coisinhas para deixar bem a nossa cara, dar um toque pessoal. Peguei a babĂĄ eletrĂŽnica e fui para o meu quarto. Abri uma das minhas caixas e comecei a arrumar tudo ali. Quando abri a Ășltima caixa, tirei dela a caixa com minhas lembranças da noite do baile, a abri, passei a mĂŁo por aquele vestido lindo e suspirei mais uma vez. Peguei o perfume e pensei, âpor que nĂŁo?â, a partir de amanhĂŁ eu usaria esse perfume todos os dias, meu salĂĄrio era bom e quando esse acabasse eu poderia comprar outro. Guardei a caixa, deixei o perfume sobre a penteadeira e fui dormir cheia de expectativas com essa vida nova que se abria a minha frente. CAPĂTULO 5: Meu novo chefe Ă© muito estressado Me apresentei na empresa Ă s oito da manhĂŁ. Fui muito bem recebida pela Sra. Mariana, que me apresentou todo mundo e todos foram gentis. O chefe nĂŁo estava lĂĄ, estava viajando e chegaria no final da semana. O escritĂłrio era lindo, muito moderno, todo decorado em branco, aço inox e detalhes verdes, muito profissional e acolhedor ao mesmo tempo. Era elegante e eu gostei muito. Fiquei particularmente feliz por ter escolhido vestir um terno amigo, com uma blusa de cetim verde escuro por baixo e saltos amigos. Eu deveria estar elegante todos os dias agora, afinal ia trabalhar direto com o presidente da empresa. No meio da manhĂŁ recebi uma mensagem da Mel dizendo que conseguiu marcar com a diretora da creche prĂłxima ao nosso apartamento para a hora do almoço. Expliquei a situação a Sra. Mariana e perguntei se seria possĂvel me liberar no horĂĄrio, mas que eu estaria de volta a tempo. - EntĂŁo vocĂȘ tem um filho. Qual a idade dele? â ela me perguntou com um sorriso. - Ele tem dois anos. Ă um garotinho muito esperto. NĂŁo foi planejado, mas Ă© a razĂŁo da minha vida! - Qual o nome dele? - Pedro. - Pedro. Um nome forte. VocĂȘ nĂŁo Ă© casada, isso eu sei, mas e o pai do seu filho, vocĂȘs continuam juntos? â Meu coração despencou, como Ă© que eu explico pra ela que nĂŁo sei quem Ă© o pai? Mas eu nĂŁo minto, entĂŁo vamos enfrentar a verdade. Contei para ela que o pai do Pedro era um homem que eu conheci em uma festa e nunca mais vi, ela me olhava sĂ©ria, nĂŁo havia julgamento nos olhos dela. EntĂŁo me disse: - VocĂȘ tem o meu respeito, Catarina, nĂŁo Ă© fĂĄcil ser mĂŁe solteira, e Ă© muito difĂcil contar verdades como essa que vocĂȘ sabe que vai despertar o julgamento dos outros. Obrigada pela confiança e honestidade. Vai lĂĄ resolver a creche para o seu filho, continuamos Ă tarde, nĂŁo precisa correr. Agradeci e me despedi dela indo encontrar a Mel e o Pedro. Minha admiração e respeito pela Sra. Mariana sĂł cresciam. Ela Ă© uma mulher de uns cinquenta e cinco anos, cabelos loiros bem claros e olhos azuis quase transparentes. Ă uma mulher bonita e elegante, mas principalmente Ă© muito acolhedora. NĂłs nos demos muito bem. Durante o resto da manhĂŁ ela me encheu de informaçÔes sobre o trabalho e eu ia anotando tudo. Na hora do almoço eu saĂ do prĂ©dio e a Mel jĂĄ estava me esperando na porta com o Pedro. Entrei no carro e fomos almoçar antes de ir Ă creche. Eu e a Mel adoramos a creche e o Pedro jĂĄ estava enturmado correndo com os novos amiguinhos, ele Ă© um menino muito extrovertido. Isso me deixou muito feliz! Meu filho estava feliz! Desistimos de ver as outras creches, pois essa era Ăłtima e ficava muito perto de casa, a trĂȘs quarteirĂ”es de distĂąncia. Fizemos a matrĂcula e acertamos todos os detalhes. A diretora sugeriu que deixĂĄssemos o Pedro atĂ© o final do dia, jĂĄ que ele estava se divertindo e assim jĂĄ ia se adaptando. A Mel ficou de buscĂĄ-lo no fim do dia. A Mel me deixou na empresa novamente e me disse que voltaria pra casa para se preparar para a entrevista de trabalho que seria no meio da tarde. Voltei Ă minha sala e cheguei antes da Sra. Mariana. Sentei Ă mesa e fui repassando tudo o que ela jĂĄ havia me informado. O telefone sobre a mesa tocou e eu fiquei sem saber o que fazer, mas aquela seria minha mesa, entĂŁo atendi com a voz mais profissional possĂvel: - Grupo Mellendez, presidĂȘncia, boa tarde, em que posso ajudar? Ouvi do outro lado um silĂȘncio sepulcral seguido de um longo suspiro. AlguĂ©m vociferou do outro lado, com certa impaciĂȘncia e uma voz forte e meio rouca: - Passa para a Mariana. Levei um susto, mas me controlei e respondi: - Desculpe, senhor, mas a senhora Mariana ainda nĂŁo retornou do almoço. Posso ajudĂĄ-lo ou o senhor gostaria de deixar um recado? - Quem estĂĄ falando? â falou do outro lado ainda mais impaciente. - Meu nome Ă© Catarina, sou a nova assessora do Sr. Mellendez. - Mas eu nĂŁo te conheço. â Parecia que ele ficava mais impaciente a cada vez que falava. - Ă que hoje Ă© meu primeiro dia, senhor. O senhor gostaria de deixar um recado? - Diga a Mariana para me ligar assim que puser os pĂ©s no escritĂłrio. - Perfeitamente, senhor. E qual o seu nome? - Parece que eu sou o seu chefe! â falou rispidamente e desligou o telefone. Nossa, que homem estressado! Isso nĂŁo estava na descrição do cargo. Imediatamente minha garganta apertou, meu chefe e eu jĂĄ tinha causado mĂĄ impressĂŁo? Eu estava muito ferrada! Comecei a pensar que nĂŁo ia durar nesse emprego. Pouco depois a Sra. Mariana chegou e eu lhe transmiti o recado com uma cara de preocupação. Ela olhou pra mim sorrindo, como se entendesse meu receio, e perguntou: - Ele estava calmo? Eu olhei pra ela e nĂŁo aguentei: - Ele estava a ponto de ter um colapso nervoso. Certamente a jugular dele estava saltando no pescoço. Ela caiu na gargalhada e depois disse: - VocĂȘs dois vĂŁo se dar muito bem! VocĂȘ vai domar a fera, tenho certeza. Eu nĂŁo tinha essa certeza. Talvez eu nem devesse desfazer as malas, esse homem iria me engolir viva! | LEARN_MORE | https://hunled.com/market/buenovela/3?lpid=15216&u | Casa dos livros | https://www.facebook.com/61558148557550/ | 25,023 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | hunled.com | VIDEO | đ„Mais grandes romances aquiđ„ | https://hunled.com/market/buenovela/3?lpid=15216&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&utm_content={{campaign.id}}&adset_name={{adset.name}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&ad_id={{ad.id}}&ad_name={{ad.name}}&placement={{placement}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/480705727_1160403975596303_6453996415814507408_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=GQX8C8pZYBMQ7kNvgGkLBJ6&_nc_oc=AdiU5Y_NNLhMKayAmSSfWxst7jWlOGasaPIi5WM2YQ7ie1-7bll4iKbQSxELFkuiiLk&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&_nc_gid=Au44E6jl9irgTAeCSOYRvcw&oh=00_AYCLhjmQi3X3qkimk8s9ElH2mUIw8vJDsUKLoVq56EXkeg&oe=67C2F636 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Casa dos livros | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. âI had no idea you were throwing a party for my homecomingâ I tell him, kissing him slightly on the cheek. âI had no idea you were back, Rowena. You should not be hereâ He pushes me, holding me away from his body. âDid you not get my letter?â I ask, my smile falling from my face. âWhat letter?â He grunts. âThe 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 knowâ 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. âWho then is the party for?â 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. âHello mateâ I hear her whisper. Mate? I gasp. I push forward, stopping her approach. âRowenaâ She jolts. âWhat are you doing here?â She glances at Seth who shrugs his shoulders. âI should be asking you that question, donât you think? What are you doing?â I cry out. âI am getting engagedâ She smiles brightly at me. âIt is great that you are here, maybe you could be my chiefâs bridesmaid?â âYou have got to be jokingâ I scoff. âNot now, Rowena. We will talk about this afterâ Seth stops me, putting out a hand for Isobel. âNoâ I raise my voice, my insides shaking with confusion. I cannot believe my eyes as I watch them turn to me. âWe have to talk about it nowâ I tell him, braving the stares I am getting from every member of the pack. âOkay, if you want to do this here then that is fine by meâ Seth growls, stepping away from Isobel and approaching me. âSeth, what is the meaning of this? We are mates⊠you can still feel it so why?â âI, Seth de Beaufort reject you, Rowena Stuart as my mate and future Lunaâ He declares. âNo, stop it please⊠do not do thisâ I grunt, my chest tearing apart with pain. I double over, clutching my pounding heart. âAccept the rejection!â He spits. âAccept it and leave so that I might have a great day with my true mateâ He announces. âI, Rowena Stuart⊠accept your rejectionâ 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 otherâs 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. âRowena, IâŠâ âHave you not done enough, Isobel?â I rise to my feet and face her. She has a smirk on her face âHow could you? I trusted you, you are my best friend!â I cry out. âIt is hardly my fault that Seth took a liking to me while you were away pursuing the career of your dreams.â she scoffs at this. I had gone to learn modern healing and had been supported by every member of the clan, including Seth. âWho do you think comforted him on the nights when he was alone and needed company?â I make to slap her but she catches my hand in the air, throwing it back at me. âThis is the least of your problems, I promise youâ She tells me instead. âWhat is that supposed to mean?â I ask âDid you come here straight from the airport?â She throws her head back to laugh. I did come there straight because I thought⊠âWhat do you mean?â I ask her again. âI donât know, friend. You should probably run along home now before it is too lateâ 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. âWhat is happening?â I mutter, running inside. Sybillia, my sister has tears streaming down her face and her clothes torn to shreds. âWhat happened, talk to meâ I shake her. âFather was takenâ Her voice broke. âTaken?â I ask, confusion dotting my forehead âThey say he is a traitor and they are going to kill him, Rowena. You have to do something.â She holds me, crying some more. âWhere is mother?â I ask her. She shakes her head in the negative which told me that she had no idea where our mother was. âListen, Sybil⊠I need you to find motherâ I shake her again. âDo you hear me? I want you to find her and then I want you both to hideâ I tell her. âWhat are you going to do?â She asks. âI need to find out what is going onâ 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. âMy father, what has he done?â I ask, my voice breaking. Seth, my one time lover and mate regards me with disgust, his lips quirking up in a sneer. âHe is a traitor and for that he must dieâ Screams of hate ROWENA âThat is a lieâ 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. âI will allow you leave this place and we will speak when my party is overâ Seth warns me. âI want to know what crimes my father has committed for you to lock him upâ I repeat. âLook at herâ Isobel grunts, turning to Seth. âShe does not respect you, my love. Tell me how she is going to remain in this pack if she is this defiant towards youâ She mutters. Sethâs eyes darkens as he rises to his feet, pointing a hand towards me. âYou dare speak back to your Alpha?â 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. âYour father has admitted to his crimes and come noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded as a traitor and so will your motherâ He announces The crowd cheers again âYou will denounce them, yourself and your sister or you will leave me no choiceâ âI cannot do that⊠I cannot-â âAnd 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 Lunaâ My friend smiles, clasping her fingers together. âGuardsâ Seth calls The door swished open again and they enter. âGet 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 tomorrowâs noon after the execution of Grant and Helena Stuartâ He declares. âNoâ 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. âRowena?â A voice calls out. I recognize it immediately as Isobel and wonder what she wants. âWhat the do you want?â 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. âI hate youâ I snap. âWhat do you hate me for? For sleeping with her fiance or reporting your parents forâŠâ She pauses as my eyes widens in realization. âOopsâ She laughs. âYou are a slut who moved on her friendâs man almost immediately sheâŠâ âAlmost immediately?â She stops me, scoffing. âHave you been so utterly blind, Rowena?â 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. âSeth and I have been together before you both began dating. The engagement to you was his fatherâs idea⊠you do not think he wanted to get married to you, did you?â She asks. âWhat are you talking about?â I mutter. She laughs then, her voice grating on my ears. âYou 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 hasâŠâ âI claimed?â I stop her. âSeth is my mate!â I scream at her âBut he is also mine!â Isobel screams back at me. âYou are lying, that is not possibleâ âIt 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 Sethâs offerâ âYou plotted this, didnât you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into itâ I accuse. âWhatever are you talking about, dear girlâ She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence. âGet outâ I snarl, my eyes blue with rage. âYour parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?â 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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ 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. âEverything will be alrightâ I reassure her. âWhat are we going to do?â She asks me. âWe have to do somethingâ âWe ask the moon goddess for helpâ 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 sisterâs and I drift into sleep. ⊠âDrag her out!â The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep. I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp. âNo, leave her aloneâ I yell. The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too. âLeave my sister the âŠâ One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth. âShut your mouth, cuntâ 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. âWe are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark artsâ 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. âHow do you both plead?â Seth roars, rising to his feet. My father says nothing and so does my mother. âI will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minuteâ 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. âNoâ I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards. âYou assholeâ She pants. âYou cannot do this, Sybil⊠it is treasonâ I scream, tears streaming down my face. âPut the crossbow down, Sybilliaâ My fatherâs calm voice comes through. My sisterâs 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. âDo itâ 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. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/e34twsogm | Le | https://www.facebook.com/100092986922851/ | 73 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | www.novel-oasis.com | VIDEO | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/e34twsogmjo1gayqwqbdyfxa?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120218744089760112&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-lga3-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/468225081_418186588029996_2094819289975608308_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=FHd_vR4RuRkQ7kNvgE6VdOH&_nc_oc=Adga9NbIUU9Io6lu8AyNigxNeJquC41PoF9nATqCTdqsR8RLgIbkjuW_nwMARZgGtAYZvzw3T5xZeYpokfLFOJE4&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-3.xx&_nc_gid=AaXe6GtEHq4fur1Ik931jW9&oh=00_AYD7PWnBTdVgIY0qb8zFSZdw9tMGkW0n1tpJHRT6BtO6OQ&oe=67C400A8 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Le | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. âI had no idea you were throwing a party for my homecomingâ I tell him, kissing him slightly on the cheek. âI had no idea you were back, Rowena. You should not be hereâ He pushes me, holding me away from his body. âDid you not get my letter?â I ask, my smile falling from my face. âWhat letter?â He grunts. âThe 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 knowâ 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. âWho then is the party for?â 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. âHello mateâ I hear her whisper. Mate? I gasp. I push forward, stopping her approach. âRowenaâ She jolts. âWhat are you doing here?â She glances at Seth who shrugs his shoulders. âI should be asking you that question, donât you think? What are you doing?â I cry out. âI am getting engagedâ She smiles brightly at me. âIt is great that you are here, maybe you could be my chiefâs bridesmaid?â âYou have got to be jokingâ I scoff. âNot now, Rowena. We will talk about this afterâ Seth stops me, putting out a hand for Isobel. âNoâ I raise my voice, my insides shaking with confusion. I cannot believe my eyes as I watch them turn to me. âWe have to talk about it nowâ I tell him, braving the stares I am getting from every member of the pack. âOkay, if you want to do this here then that is fine by meâ Seth growls, stepping away from Isobel and approaching me. âSeth, what is the meaning of this? We are mates⊠you can still feel it so why?â âI, Seth de Beaufort reject you, Rowena Stuart as my mate and future Lunaâ He declares. âNo, stop it please⊠do not do thisâ I grunt, my chest tearing apart with pain. I double over, clutching my pounding heart. âAccept the rejection!â He spits. âAccept it and leave so that I might have a great day with my true mateâ He announces. âI, Rowena Stuart⊠accept your rejectionâ 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 otherâs 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. âRowena, IâŠâ âHave you not done enough, Isobel?â I rise to my feet and face her. She has a smirk on her face âHow could you? I trusted you, you are my best friend!â I cry out. âIt is hardly my fault that Seth took a liking to me while you were away pursuing the career of your dreams.â she scoffs at this. I had gone to learn modern healing and had been supported by every member of the clan, including Seth. âWho do you think comforted him on the nights when he was alone and needed company?â I make to slap her but she catches my hand in the air, throwing it back at me. âThis is the least of your problems, I promise youâ She tells me instead. âWhat is that supposed to mean?â I ask âDid you come here straight from the airport?â She throws her head back to laugh. I did come there straight because I thought⊠âWhat do you mean?â I ask her again. âI donât know, friend. You should probably run along home now before it is too lateâ 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. âWhat is happening?â I mutter, running inside. Sybillia, my sister has tears streaming down her face and her clothes torn to shreds. âWhat happened, talk to meâ I shake her. âFather was takenâ Her voice broke. âTaken?â I ask, confusion dotting my forehead âThey say he is a traitor and they are going to kill him, Rowena. You have to do something.â She holds me, crying some more. âWhere is mother?â I ask her. She shakes her head in the negative which told me that she had no idea where our mother was. âListen, Sybil⊠I need you to find motherâ I shake her again. âDo you hear me? I want you to find her and then I want you both to hideâ I tell her. âWhat are you going to do?â She asks. âI need to find out what is going onâ 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. âMy father, what has he done?â I ask, my voice breaking. Seth, my one time lover and mate regards me with disgust, his lips quirking up in a sneer. âHe is a traitor and for that he must dieâ Screams of hate ROWENA âThat is a lieâ 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. âI will allow you leave this place and we will speak when my party is overâ Seth warns me. âI want to know what crimes my father has committed for you to lock him upâ I repeat. âLook at herâ Isobel grunts, turning to Seth. âShe does not respect you, my love. Tell me how she is going to remain in this pack if she is this defiant towards youâ She mutters. Sethâs eyes darkens as he rises to his feet, pointing a hand towards me. âYou dare speak back to your Alpha?â 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. âYour father has admitted to his crimes and come noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded as a traitor and so will your motherâ He announces The crowd cheers again âYou will denounce them, yourself and your sister or you will leave me no choiceâ âI cannot do that⊠I cannot-â âAnd 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 Lunaâ My friend smiles, clasping her fingers together. âGuardsâ Seth calls The door swished open again and they enter. âGet 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 tomorrowâs noon after the execution of Grant and Helena Stuartâ He declares. âNoâ 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. âRowena?â A voice calls out. I recognize it immediately as Isobel and wonder what she wants. âWhat the do you want?â 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. âI hate youâ I snap. âWhat do you hate me for? For sleeping with her fiance or reporting your parents forâŠâ She pauses as my eyes widens in realization. âOopsâ She laughs. âYou are a slut who moved on her friendâs man almost immediately sheâŠâ âAlmost immediately?â She stops me, scoffing. âHave you been so utterly blind, Rowena?â 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. âSeth and I have been together before you both began dating. The engagement to you was his fatherâs idea⊠you do not think he wanted to get married to you, did you?â She asks. âWhat are you talking about?â I mutter. She laughs then, her voice grating on my ears. âYou 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 hasâŠâ âI claimed?â I stop her. âSeth is my mate!â I scream at her âBut he is also mine!â Isobel screams back at me. âYou are lying, that is not possibleâ âIt 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 Sethâs offerâ âYou plotted this, didnât you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into itâ I accuse. âWhatever are you talking about, dear girlâ She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence. âGet outâ I snarl, my eyes blue with rage. âYour parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?â 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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ I mutter.

They are going to accept me as Luna of the pack and if you want to save yourself then you will accept Sethâs offerâ âYou plotted this, didnât you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into itâ I accuse. âWhatever are you talking about, dear girlâ She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence. âGet outâ I snarl, my eyes blue with rage. âYour parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?â 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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ 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. âEverything will be alrightâ I reassure her. âWhat are we going to do?â She asks me. âWe have to do somethingâ âWe ask the moon goddess for helpâ 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 sisterâs and I drift into sleep. ⊠âDrag her out!â The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep. I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp. âNo, leave her aloneâ I yell. The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too. âLeave my sister the âŠâ One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth. âShut your mouth, cuntâ 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. âWe are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark artsâ 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. âHow do you both plead?â Seth roars, rising to his feet. My father says nothing and so does my mother. âI will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minuteâ 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. âNoâ I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards. âYou assholeâ She pants. âYou cannot do this, Sybil⊠it is treasonâ I scream, tears streaming down my face. âPut the crossbow down, Sybilliaâ My fatherâs calm voice comes through. My sisterâs 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. âDo itâ 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 âRowena, open your eyesâ My eyes flutters open, my motherâs 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. âNoâ I begin to cry, my mother holding unto me. âSybilâ I quiver. âShe is with the goddessâ My mother says, trying to comfort me. The goddess be damned! Where is the goddess as my family is facing persecution. âYou have to denounce usâ My mother whispers urgently in my ears while I cry. âI cannot do thatâ I argue. âYou 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 usâ We are sitting in the sand with Seth staring at us and every member of the pack. None of them trying to help âMomâ I wail âDo it, Rowenaâ She snaps at me. âDo it for usâ âThatâs enoughâ Seth commands, breaking our conversation. I rise to my feet, shaking like a leaf and my eyes meet my fatherâs. 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. âI denounce themâ I mutter, my voice breaking. âLouder, Rowenaâ My mother encourages, nodding her head. âI denounce them!â I shout, the tears streaming down my cheeks. âI am not with these traitors and I do not identify as their familyâ The crowd begins jeering at me and my parents but I am staring into Sethâs 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. âYou have done the right thingâ 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. âAny last words?â Seth asks. My father sighs at this and then he turns to me. âYou are special, Rowena. Very special and I want you to remember thatâ 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. âYou may beginâ Seth declares. The sword swings once, taking my fatherâs 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 fatherâs 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. âFollow meâ Isobelâs voice drags me out of my reverie. I walk behind her, stopping as she enters Sethâs tent. âCome insideâ She orders. I walk in, my eyes coming up to hers. âWhat is your plan?â She asks me. âWhat are you talking about?â I shoot back. âYou 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 somethingâ âJust as you plotted?â I ask her. â bitch!â She raves. âHe should have killed you too and somehow you are still standing here in front of meâ âI plan to serve you to the best of my ability, Isobelâ 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. âWhat are you doing?â He bellows. âShe insulted your Luna, Sethâ Ana whines. âThat does not give you the right to slap her, Isobel. Go to your room till I call for youâ He commands. Isobel eyes me then asks me to follow her. âRowena will stay hereâ He stops her. âWhat do you mean? You promised she will be my maid and serve meâ She reminds him. âI know what I said but promises can change and I want her to serve me instead.â 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. âYou 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 traitorâ Isobel spat. âIt 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.â Seth snaps. I watch this display with mild interest. âShe is no longer your mate, Seth⊠I am and I want her to serve meâ She tries again. âDo not question my orders, Isobel⊠now leaveâ Seth responds to her. âI am sorryâ She mutters, exiting the tent. I am left alone now with Seth and my heart is pounding rapidly in my chest. âAre you okay?â 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. âYou should sitâ He says, leading me to his bed. âI did not want thisâ He mutters as he caresses the side of my face. âIt is not your faultâ 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. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/dvbl2moa4 | Le | https://www.facebook.com/100092986922851/ | 73 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | novel-oasis.com | IMAGE | âThe one where I told you I will be coming back today.

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. âI had no idea you were throwing a party for my homecomingâ I tell him, kissing him slightly on the cheek. âI had no idea you were back, Rowena. You should not be hereâ He pushes me, holding me away from his body. âDid you not get my letter?â I ask, my smile falling from my face. âWhat letter?â He grunts. âThe 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 knowâ 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. âWho then is the party for?â 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. âHello mateâ I hear her whisper. Mate? I gasp. I push forward, stopping her approach. âRowenaâ She jolts. âWhat are you doing here?â She glances at Seth who shrugs his shoulders. âI should be asking you that question, donât you think? What are you doing?â I cry out. âI am getting engagedâ She smiles brightly at me. âIt is great that you are here, maybe you could be my chiefâs bridesmaid?â âYou have got to be jokingâ I scoff. âNot now, Rowena. We will talk about this afterâ Seth stops me, putting out a hand for Isobel. âNoâ I raise my voice, my insides shaking with confusion. I cannot believe my eyes as I watch them turn to me. âWe have to talk about it nowâ I tell him, braving the stares I am getting from every member of the pack. âOkay, if you want to do this here then that is fine by meâ Seth growls, stepping away from Isobel and approaching me. âSeth, what is the meaning of this? We are mates⊠you can still feel it so why?â âI, Seth de Beaufort reject you, Rowena Stuart as my mate and future Lunaâ He declares. âNo, stop it please⊠do not do thisâ I grunt, my chest tearing apart with pain. I double over, clutching my pounding heart. âAccept the rejection!â He spits. âAccept it and leave so that I might have a great day with my true mateâ He announces. âI, Rowena Stuart⊠accept your rejectionâ 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 otherâs 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. âRowena, IâŠâ âHave you not done enough, Isobel?â I rise to my feet and face her. She has a smirk on her face âHow could you? I trusted you, you are my best friend!â I cry out. âIt is hardly my fault that Seth took a liking to me while you were away pursuing the career of your dreams.â she scoffs at this. I had gone to learn modern healing and had been supported by every member of the clan, including Seth. âWho do you think comforted him on the nights when he was alone and needed company?â I make to slap her but she catches my hand in the air, throwing it back at me. âThis is the least of your problems, I promise youâ She tells me instead. âWhat is that supposed to mean?â I ask âDid you come here straight from the airport?â She throws her head back to laugh. I did come there straight because I thought⊠âWhat do you mean?â I ask her again. âI donât know, friend. You should probably run along home now before it is too lateâ 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. âWhat is happening?â I mutter, running inside. Sybillia, my sister has tears streaming down her face and her clothes torn to shreds. âWhat happened, talk to meâ I shake her. âFather was takenâ Her voice broke. âTaken?â I ask, confusion dotting my forehead âThey say he is a traitor and they are going to kill him, Rowena. You have to do something.â She holds me, crying some more. âWhere is mother?â I ask her. She shakes her head in the negative which told me that she had no idea where our mother was. âListen, Sybil⊠I need you to find motherâ I shake her again. âDo you hear me? I want you to find her and then I want you both to hideâ I tell her. âWhat are you going to do?â She asks. âI need to find out what is going onâ 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. âMy father, what has he done?â I ask, my voice breaking. Seth, my one time lover and mate regards me with disgust, his lips quirking up in a sneer. âHe is a traitor and for that he must dieâ .............................................................................. ROWENA âThat is a lieâ 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. âI will allow you leave this place and we will speak when my party is overâ Seth warns me. âI want to know what crimes my father has committed for you to lock him upâ I repeat. âLook at herâ Isobel grunts, turning to Seth. âShe does not respect you, my love. Tell me how she is going to remain in this pack if she is this defiant towards youâ She mutters. Sethâs eyes darkens as he rises to his feet, pointing a hand towards me. âYou dare speak back to your Alpha?â 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. âYour father has admitted to his crimes and come noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded as a traitor and so will your motherâ He announces The crowd cheers again âYou will denounce them, yourself and your sister or you will leave me no choiceâ âI cannot do that⊠I cannot-â âAnd 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 Lunaâ My friend smiles, clasping her fingers together. âGuardsâ Seth calls The door swished open again and they enter. âGet 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 tomorrowâs noon after the execution of Grant and Helena Stuartâ He declares. âNoâ 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. âRowena?â A voice calls out. I recognize it immediately as Isobel and wonder what she wants. âWhat the do you want?â 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. âI hate youâ I snap. âWhat do you hate me for? For sleeping with her fiance or reporting your parents forâŠâ She pauses as my eyes widens in realization. âOopsâ She laughs. âYou are a slut who moved on her friendâs man almost immediately sheâŠâ âAlmost immediately?â She stops me, scoffing. âHave you been so utterly blind, Rowena?â 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. âSeth and I have been together before you both began dating. The engagement to you was his fatherâs idea⊠you do not think he wanted to get married to you, did you?â She asks. âWhat are you talking about?â I mutter. She laughs then, her voice grating on my ears. âYou 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 hasâŠâ âI claimed?â I stop her. âSeth is my mate!â I scream at her âBut he is also mine!â Isobel screams back at me. âYou are lying, that is not possibleâ âIt 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 Sethâs offerâ âYou plotted this, didnât you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into itâ I accuse. âWhatever are you talking about, dear girlâ She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence. âGet outâ I snarl, my eyes blue with rage. âYour parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?â 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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ 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. âEverything will be alrightâ I reassure her. âWhat are we going to do?â She asks me. âWe have to do somethingâ âWe ask the moon goddess for helpâ 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 sisterâs and I drift into sleep. ⊠âDrag her out!â The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep. I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp. âNo, leave her aloneâ I yell. The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too. âLeave my sister the âŠâ One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth. âShut your mouth, cuntâ 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. âWe are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark artsâ 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. âHow do you both plead?â Seth roars, rising to his feet. My father says nothing and so does my mother. âI will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minuteâ 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. âNoâ I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards. âYou assholeâ She pants. âYou cannot do this, Sybil⊠it is treasonâ I scream, tears streaming down my face. âPut the crossbow down, Sybilliaâ My fatherâs calm voice comes through. My sisterâs 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. âDo itâ 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 âRowena, open your eyesâ My eyes flutters open, my motherâs 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. âNoâ I begin to cry, my mother holding unto me. âSybilâ I quiver. âShe is with the goddessâ My mother says, trying to comfort me. The goddess be damned! Where is the goddess as my family is facing persecution. âYou have to denounce usâ My mother whispers urgently in my ears while I cry. âI cannot do thatâ I argue. âYou 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 usâ We are sitting in the sand with Seth staring at us and every member of the pack. None of them trying to help âMomâ I wail âDo it, Rowenaâ She snaps at me. âDo it for usâ âThatâs enoughâ Seth commands, breaking our conversation. I rise to my feet, shaking like a leaf and my eyes meet my fatherâs. 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. âI denounce themâ I mutter, my voice breaking. âLouder, Rowenaâ My mother encourages, nodding her head. âI denounce them!â I shout, the tears streaming down my cheeks. âI am not with these traitors and I do not identify as their familyâ The crowd begins jeering at me and my parents but I am staring into Sethâs 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. âYou have done the right thingâ 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. âAny last words?â Seth asks. My father sighs at this and then he turns to me. âYou are special, Rowena. Very special and I want you to remember thatâ 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. âYou may beginâ Seth declares. The sword swings once, taking my fatherâs 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 fatherâs 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. âFollow meâ Isobelâs voice drags me out of my reverie. I walk behind her, stopping as she enters Sethâs tent. âCome insideâ She orders. I walk in, my eyes coming up to hers. âWhat is your plan?â She asks me. âWhat are you talking about?â I shoot back. âYou 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 somethingâ âJust as you plotted?â I ask her. â bitch!â She raves. âHe should have killed you too and somehow you are still standing here in front of meâ âI plan to serve you to the best of my ability, Isobelâ 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. âWhat are you doing?â He bellows. âShe insulted your Luna, Sethâ Ana whines. âThat does not give you the right to slap her, Isobel. Go to your room till I call for youâ He commands. Isobel eyes me then asks me to follow her. âRowena will stay hereâ He stops her. âWhat do you mean? You promised she will be my maid and serve meâ She reminds him. âI know what I said but promises can change and I want her to serve me instead.â 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. âYou 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 traitorâ Isobel spat. âIt 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.â Seth snaps. I watch this display with mild interest. âShe is no longer your mate, Seth⊠I am and I want her to serve meâ She tries again. âDo not question my orders, Isobel⊠now leaveâ Seth responds to her. âI am sorryâ She mutters, exiting the tent. I am left alone now with Seth and my heart is pounding rapidly in my chest. âAre you okay?â 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. âYou should sitâ He says, leading me to his bed. âI did not want thisâ He mutters as he caresses the side of my face. âIt is not your faultâ 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. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/dvbl2moa4 | Le | https://www.facebook.com/100092986922851/ | 73 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | www.novel-oasis.com | VIDEO | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/dvbl2moa4htcowwvvmfc2vjt?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120213980701850267&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/467998778_495482943526692_6415441953604258157_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=Aaznbf7NGg0Q7kNvgGVW20A&_nc_oc=AdinlXc9L6mkzLxxEa8512DK1yboB8It4SCOuN3tddFdTtz5FzEotyAqxxlHDURzUSo2Y23w__MmfnIUCQVM924M&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&_nc_gid=A3yz8uUsIlKiDtgdqG5kgzG&oh=00_AYCWd228AH0LKUh9FcZ0HvPOiaN4Zp2xoMUX5Ff4l-Gh8A&oe=67C435F4 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Le | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. âI had no idea you were throwing a party for my homecomingâ I tell him, kissing him slightly on the cheek. âI had no idea you were back, Rowena. You should not be hereâ He pushes me, holding me away from his body. âDid you not get my letter?â I ask, my smile falling from my face. âWhat letter?â He grunts. âThe 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 knowâ 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. âWho then is the party for?â 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. âHello mateâ I hear her whisper. Mate? I gasp. I push forward, stopping her approach. âRowenaâ She jolts. âWhat are you doing here?â She glances at Seth who shrugs his shoulders. âI should be asking you that question, donât you think? What are you doing?â I cry out. âI am getting engagedâ She smiles brightly at me. âIt is great that you are here, maybe you could be my chiefâs bridesmaid?â âYou have got to be jokingâ I scoff. âNot now, Rowena. We will talk about this afterâ Seth stops me, putting out a hand for Isobel. âNoâ I raise my voice, my insides shaking with confusion. I cannot believe my eyes as I watch them turn to me. âWe have to talk about it nowâ I tell him, braving the stares I am getting from every member of the pack. âOkay, if you want to do this here then that is fine by meâ Seth growls, stepping away from Isobel and approaching me. âSeth, what is the meaning of this? We are mates⊠you can still feel it so why?â âI, Seth de Beaufort reject you, Rowena Stuart as my mate and future Lunaâ He declares. âNo, stop it please⊠do not do thisâ I grunt, my chest tearing apart with pain. I double over, clutching my pounding heart. âAccept the rejection!â He spits. âAccept it and leave so that I might have a great day with my true mateâ He announces. âI, Rowena Stuart⊠accept your rejectionâ 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 otherâs 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. âRowena, IâŠâ âHave you not done enough, Isobel?â I rise to my feet and face her. She has a smirk on her face âHow could you? I trusted you, you are my best friend!â I cry out. âIt is hardly my fault that Seth took a liking to me while you were away pursuing the career of your dreams.â she scoffs at this. I had gone to learn modern healing and had been supported by every member of the clan, including Seth. âWho do you think comforted him on the nights when he was alone and needed company?â I make to slap her but she catches my hand in the air, throwing it back at me. âThis is the least of your problems, I promise youâ She tells me instead. âWhat is that supposed to mean?â I ask âDid you come here straight from the airport?â She throws her head back to laugh. I did come there straight because I thought⊠âWhat do you mean?â I ask her again. âI donât know, friend. You should probably run along home now before it is too lateâ 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. âWhat is happening?â I mutter, running inside. Sybillia, my sister has tears streaming down her face and her clothes torn to shreds. âWhat happened, talk to meâ I shake her. âFather was takenâ Her voice broke. âTaken?â I ask, confusion dotting my forehead âThey say he is a traitor and they are going to kill him, Rowena. You have to do something.â She holds me, crying some more. âWhere is mother?â I ask her. She shakes her head in the negative which told me that she had no idea where our mother was. âListen, Sybil⊠I need you to find motherâ I shake her again. âDo you hear me? I want you to find her and then I want you both to hideâ I tell her. âWhat are you going to do?â She asks. âI need to find out what is going onâ 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. âMy father, what has he done?â I ask, my voice breaking. Seth, my one time lover and mate regards me with disgust, his lips quirking up in a sneer. âHe is a traitor and for that he must dieâ .............................................................................. ROWENA âThat is a lieâ 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. âI will allow you leave this place and we will speak when my party is overâ Seth warns me. âI want to know what crimes my father has committed for you to lock him upâ I repeat. âLook at herâ Isobel grunts, turning to Seth. âShe does not respect you, my love. Tell me how she is going to remain in this pack if she is this defiant towards youâ She mutters. Sethâs eyes darkens as he rises to his feet, pointing a hand towards me. âYou dare speak back to your Alpha?â 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. âYour father has admitted to his crimes and come noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded as a traitor and so will your motherâ He announces The crowd cheers again âYou will denounce them, yourself and your sister or you will leave me no choiceâ âI cannot do that⊠I cannot-â âAnd 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 Lunaâ My friend smiles, clasping her fingers together. âGuardsâ Seth calls The door swished open again and they enter. âGet 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 tomorrowâs noon after the execution of Grant and Helena Stuartâ He declares. âNoâ 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. âRowena?â A voice calls out. I recognize it immediately as Isobel and wonder what she wants. âWhat the do you want?â 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. âI hate youâ I snap. âWhat do you hate me for? For sleeping with her fiance or reporting your parents forâŠâ She pauses as my eyes widens in realization. âOopsâ She laughs. âYou are a slut who moved on her friendâs man almost immediately sheâŠâ âAlmost immediately?â She stops me, scoffing. âHave you been so utterly blind, Rowena?â 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. âSeth and I have been together before you both began dating. The engagement to you was his fatherâs idea⊠you do not think he wanted to get married to you, did you?â She asks. âWhat are you talking about?â I mutter. She laughs then, her voice grating on my ears. âYou 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 hasâŠâ âI claimed?â I stop her. âSeth is my mate!â I scream at her âBut he is also mine!â Isobel screams back at me. âYou are lying, that is not possibleâ âIt 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 Sethâs offerâ âYou plotted this, didnât you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into itâ I accuse. âWhatever are you talking about, dear girlâ She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence. âGet outâ I snarl, my eyes blue with rage. âYour parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?â 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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ 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. âEverything will be alrightâ I reassure her. âWhat are we going to do?â She asks me. âWe have to do somethingâ âWe ask the moon goddess for helpâ 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 sisterâs and I drift into sleep. ⊠âDrag her out!â The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep. I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp. âNo, leave her aloneâ I yell. The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too. âLeave my sister the âŠâ One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth. âShut your mouth, cuntâ 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. âWe are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark artsâ 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. âHow do you both plead?â Seth roars, rising to his feet. My father says nothing and so does my mother. âI will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minuteâ 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. âNoâ I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards. âYou assholeâ She pants. âYou cannot do this, Sybil⊠it is treasonâ I scream, tears streaming down my face. âPut the crossbow down, Sybilliaâ My fatherâs calm voice comes through. My sisterâs 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. âDo itâ 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 âRowena, open your eyesâ My eyes flutters open, my motherâs 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. âNoâ I begin to cry, my mother holding unto me. âSybilâ I quiver. âShe is with the goddessâ My mother says, trying to comfort me. The goddess be damned! Where is the goddess as my family is facing persecution. âYou have to denounce usâ My mother whispers urgently in my ears while I cry. âI cannot do thatâ I argue. âYou 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 usâ We are sitting in the sand with Seth staring at us and every member of the pack. None of them trying to help âMomâ I wail âDo it, Rowenaâ She snaps at me. âDo it for usâ âThatâs enoughâ Seth commands, breaking our conversation. I rise to my feet, shaking like a leaf and my eyes meet my fatherâs. 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. âI denounce themâ I mutter, my voice breaking. âLouder, Rowenaâ My mother encourages, nodding her head. âI denounce them!â I shout, the tears streaming down my cheeks. âI am not with these traitors and I do not identify as their familyâ The crowd begins jeering at me and my parents but I am staring into Sethâs 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. âYou have done the right thingâ 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. âAny last words?â Seth asks. My father sighs at this and then he turns to me. âYou are special, Rowena. Very special and I want you to remember thatâ 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. âYou may beginâ Seth declares. The sword swings once, taking my fatherâs 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.

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. âFollow meâ Isobelâs voice drags me out of my reverie.

I walk in, my eyes coming up to hers. âWhat is your plan?â She asks me. âWhat are you talking about?â I shoot back. âYou denounced your family.

I am left alone now with Seth and my heart is pounding rapidly in my chest. âAre you okay?â 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. âYou should sitâ He says, leading me to his bed. âI did not want thisâ He mutters as he caresses the side of my face. âIt is not your faultâ 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.

đClick to read onđThe Rejected Rogue Lunađ | âThis is such a pleasant surprise, Sethâ 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. âI had no idea you were throwing a party for my homecomingâ I tell him, kissing him slightly on the cheek. âI had no idea you were back, Rowena. You should not be hereâ He pushes me, holding me away from his body. âDid you not get my letter?â I ask, my smile falling from my face. âWhat letter?â He grunts. âThe 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 knowâ 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. âWho then is the party for?â 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. âHello mateâ I hear her whisper. Mate? I gasp. I push forward, stopping her approach. âRowenaâ She jolts. âWhat are you doing here?â She glances at Seth who shrugs his shoulders. âI should be asking you that question, donât you think? What are you doing?â I cry out. âI am getting engagedâ She smiles brightly at me. âIt is great that you are here, maybe you could be my chiefâs bridesmaid?â âYou have got to be jokingâ I scoff. âNot now, Rowena. We will talk about this afterâ Seth stops me, putting out a hand for Isobel. âNoâ I raise my voice, my insides shaking with confusion. I cannot believe my eyes as I watch them turn to me. âWe have to talk about it nowâ I tell him, braving the stares I am getting from every member of the pack. âOkay, if you want to do this here then that is fine by meâ Seth growls, stepping away from Isobel and approaching me. âSeth, what is the meaning of this? We are mates⊠you can still feel it so why?â âI, Seth de Beaufort reject you, Rowena Stuart as my mate and future Lunaâ He declares. âNo, stop it please⊠do not do thisâ I grunt, my chest tearing apart with pain. I double over, clutching my pounding heart. âAccept the rejection!â He spits. âAccept it and leave so that I might have a great day with my true mateâ He announces. âI, Rowena Stuart⊠accept your rejectionâ 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 otherâs 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. âRowena, IâŠâ âHave you not done enough, Isobel?â I rise to my feet and face her. She has a smirk on her face âHow could you? I trusted you, you are my best friend!â I cry out. âIt is hardly my fault that Seth took a liking to me while you were away pursuing the career of your dreams.â she scoffs at this. I had gone to learn modern healing and had been supported by every member of the clan, including Seth. âWho do you think comforted him on the nights when he was alone and needed company?â I make to slap her but she catches my hand in the air, throwing it back at me. âThis is the least of your problems, I promise youâ She tells me instead. âWhat is that supposed to mean?â I ask âDid you come here straight from the airport?â She throws her head back to laugh. I did come there straight because I thought⊠âWhat do you mean?â I ask her again. âI donât know, friend. You should probably run along home now before it is too lateâ 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. âWhat is happening?â I mutter, running inside. Sybillia, my sister has tears streaming down her face and her clothes torn to shreds. âWhat happened, talk to meâ I shake her. âFather was takenâ Her voice broke. âTaken?â I ask, confusion dotting my forehead âThey say he is a traitor and they are going to kill him, Rowena. You have to do something.â She holds me, crying some more. âWhere is mother?â I ask her. She shakes her head in the negative which told me that she had no idea where our mother was. âListen, Sybil⊠I need you to find motherâ I shake her again. âDo you hear me? I want you to find her and then I want you both to hideâ I tell her. âWhat are you going to do?â She asks. âI need to find out what is going onâ 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. âMy father, what has he done?â I ask, my voice breaking. Seth, my one time lover and mate regards me with disgust, his lips quirking up in a sneer. âHe is a traitor and for that he must dieâ .............................................................................. ROWENA âThat is a lieâ 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. âI will allow you leave this place and we will speak when my party is overâ Seth warns me. âI want to know what crimes my father has committed for you to lock him upâ I repeat. âLook at herâ Isobel grunts, turning to Seth. âShe does not respect you, my love. Tell me how she is going to remain in this pack if she is this defiant towards youâ She mutters. Sethâs eyes darkens as he rises to his feet, pointing a hand towards me. âYou dare speak back to your Alpha?â 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. âYour father has admitted to his crimes and come noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded as a traitor and so will your motherâ He announces The crowd cheers again âYou will denounce them, yourself and your sister or you will leave me no choiceâ âI cannot do that⊠I cannot-â âAnd 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 Lunaâ My friend smiles, clasping her fingers together. âGuardsâ Seth calls The door swished open again and they enter. âGet 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 tomorrowâs noon after the execution of Grant and Helena Stuartâ He declares. âNoâ 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. âRowena?â A voice calls out. I recognize it immediately as Isobel and wonder what she wants. âWhat the do you want?â 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. âI hate youâ I snap. âWhat do you hate me for? For sleeping with her fiance or reporting your parents forâŠâ She pauses as my eyes widens in realization. âOopsâ She laughs. âYou are a slut who moved on her friendâs man almost immediately sheâŠâ âAlmost immediately?â She stops me, scoffing. âHave you been so utterly blind, Rowena?â 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. âSeth and I have been together before you both began dating. The engagement to you was his fatherâs idea⊠you do not think he wanted to get married to you, did you?â She asks. âWhat are you talking about?â I mutter. She laughs then, her voice grating on my ears. âYou 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 hasâŠâ âI claimed?â I stop her. âSeth is my mate!â I scream at her âBut he is also mine!â Isobel screams back at me. âYou are lying, that is not possibleâ âIt 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 Sethâs offerâ âYou plotted this, didnât you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into itâ I accuse. âWhatever are you talking about, dear girlâ She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence. âGet outâ I snarl, my eyes blue with rage. âYour parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?â 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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ 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. âEverything will be alrightâ I reassure her. âWhat are we going to do?â She asks me. âWe have to do somethingâ âWe ask the moon goddess for helpâ 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 sisterâs and I drift into sleep. ⊠âDrag her out!â The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep. I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp. âNo, leave her aloneâ I yell. The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too. âLeave my sister the âŠâ One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth. âShut your mouth, cuntâ 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. âWe are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark artsâ 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. âHow do you both plead?â Seth roars, rising to his feet. My father says nothing and so does my mother. âI will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minuteâ 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. âNoâ I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards. âYou assholeâ She pants. âYou cannot do this, Sybil⊠it is treasonâ I scream, tears streaming down my face. âPut the crossbow down, Sybilliaâ My fatherâs calm voice comes through. My sisterâs 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. âDo itâ 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 âRowena, open your eyesâ My eyes flutters open, my motherâs 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. âNoâ I begin to cry, my mother holding unto me. âSybilâ I quiver. âShe is with the goddessâ My mother says, trying to comfort me. The goddess be damned! Where is the goddess as my family is facing persecution. âYou have to denounce usâ My mother whispers urgently in my ears while I cry. âI cannot do thatâ I argue. âYou 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 usâ We are sitting in the sand with Seth staring at us and every member of the pack. None of them trying to help âMomâ I wail âDo it, Rowenaâ She snaps at me. âDo it for usâ âThatâs enoughâ Seth commands, breaking our conversation. I rise to my feet, shaking like a leaf and my eyes meet my fatherâs. 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. âI denounce themâ I mutter, my voice breaking. âLouder, Rowenaâ My mother encourages, nodding her head. âI denounce them!â I shout, the tears streaming down my cheeks. âI am not with these traitors and I do not identify as their familyâ The crowd begins jeering at me and my parents but I am staring into Sethâs 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. âYou have done the right thingâ 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. âAny last words?â Seth asks. My father sighs at this and then he turns to me. âYou are special, Rowena. Very special and I want you to remember thatâ 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. âYou may beginâ Seth declares. The sword swings once, taking my fatherâs 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 fatherâs 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. âFollow meâ Isobelâs voice drags me out of my reverie. I walk behind her, stopping as she enters Sethâs tent. âCome insideâ She orders. I walk in, my eyes coming up to hers. âWhat is your plan?â She asks me. âWhat are you talking about?â I shoot back. âYou 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 somethingâ âJust as you plotted?â I ask her. â bitch!â She raves. âHe should have killed you too and somehow you are still standing here in front of meâ âI plan to serve you to the best of my ability, Isobelâ 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. âWhat are you doing?â He bellows. âShe insulted your Luna, Sethâ Ana whines. âThat does not give you the right to slap her, Isobel. Go to your room till I call for youâ He commands. Isobel eyes me then asks me to follow her. âRowena will stay hereâ He stops her. âWhat do you mean? You promised she will be my maid and serve meâ She reminds him. âI know what I said but promises can change and I want her to serve me instead.â 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. âYou 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 traitorâ Isobel spat. âIt 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.â Seth snaps. I watch this display with mild interest. âShe is no longer your mate, Seth⊠I am and I want her to serve meâ She tries again. âDo not question my orders, Isobel⊠now leaveâ Seth responds to her. âI am sorryâ She mutters, exiting the tent. I am left alone now with Seth and my heart is pounding rapidly in my chest. âAre you okay?â 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. âYou should sitâ He says, leading me to his bed. âI did not want thisâ He mutters as he caresses the side of my face. âIt is not your faultâ 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. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/dvbl2moa4 | Le | https://www.facebook.com/100092986922851/ | 73 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | novel-oasis.com | IMAGE | âThe one where I told you I will be coming back today.

Sethâs eyes darkens as he rises to his feet, pointing a hand towards me. âYou dare speak back to your Alpha?â 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. âYour father has admitted to his crimes and come noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded as a traitor and so will your motherâ He announces The crowd cheers again âYou will denounce them, yourself and your sister or you will leave me no choiceâ âI cannot do that⊠I cannot-â âAnd 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 Lunaâ My friend smiles, clasping her fingers together. âGuardsâ Seth calls The door swished open again and they enter. âGet 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 tomorrowâs noon after the execution of Grant and Helena Stuartâ He declares. âNoâ 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. âRowena?â A voice calls out. I recognize it immediately as Isobel and wonder what she wants. âWhat the do you want?â 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. âI hate youâ I snap. âWhat do you hate me for? For sleeping with her fiance or reporting your parents forâŠâ She pauses as my eyes widens in realization. âOopsâ She laughs. âYou are a slut who moved on her friendâs man almost immediately sheâŠâ âAlmost immediately?â She stops me, scoffing. âHave you been so utterly blind, Rowena?â 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. âSeth and I have been together before you both began dating. The engagement to you was his fatherâs idea⊠you do not think he wanted to get married to you, did you?â She asks. âWhat are you talking about?â I mutter. She laughs then, her voice grating on my ears. âYou 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 hasâŠâ âI claimed?â I stop her. âSeth is my mate!â I scream at her âBut he is also mine!â Isobel screams back at me. âYou are lying, that is not possibleâ âIt 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 Sethâs offerâ âYou plotted this, didnât you? You plotted this treason and you somehow roped my family into itâ I accuse. âWhatever are you talking about, dear girlâ She mocks, her eyes wide with innocence. âGet outâ I snarl, my eyes blue with rage. âYour parents have been arrested but we are yet to catch Sybillia. Where did you send her?â 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. âI have no idea where she isâ I mutter. âYes 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 packâ My lips curve up in a smile but I say nothing. âWhere the is she?â Isobel asks again, approaching me. âI have no ideaâ I repeat. She stares at me, the anger evident in her gaze. âYou will pay for thisâ 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. âWhoâs there?â I mutter. âRowena?â I hear my sister. âSybil?â I ask, scampering to my feet. âHow are you here? I thought you somehow escapedâ âI was caught. They have mom and dad and they⊠they are going to kill themâ She cries out. âCome hereâ 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. âEverything will be alrightâ I reassure her. âWhat are we going to do?â She asks me. âWe have to do somethingâ âWe ask the moon goddess for helpâ 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 sisterâs and I drift into sleep. ⊠âDrag her out!â The loud boom of voice arouses me from my sleep. I hear screaming right before my sister is yanked from my grasp. âNo, leave her aloneâ I yell. The door to my prison is also opened and I am dragged out too. âLeave my sister the âŠâ One of the guards back hand me across the face and blood spurts out of my mouth. âShut your mouth, cuntâ 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. âWe are gathered here today to sentence Grant and Helena Stuart for the crime of dabbling into the dark artsâ 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. âHow do you both plead?â Seth roars, rising to his feet. My father says nothing and so does my mother. âI will spare both your daughters if they denounce your family right this minuteâ 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. âNoâ I scream, rising to my feet to stop her but I am held back by the guards. âYou assholeâ She pants. âYou cannot do this, Sybil⊠it is treasonâ I scream, tears streaming down my face. âPut the crossbow down, Sybilliaâ My fatherâs calm voice comes through. My sisterâs 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. âDo itâ 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 âRowena, open your eyesâ My eyes flutters open, my motherâs 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. âNoâ I begin to cry, my mother holding unto me. âSybilâ I quiver. âShe is with the goddessâ My mother says, trying to comfort me. The goddess be damned! Where is the goddess as my family is facing persecution. âYou have to denounce usâ My mother whispers urgently in my ears while I cry. âI cannot do thatâ I argue. âYou 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 usâ We are sitting in the sand with Seth staring at us and every member of the pack. None of them trying to help âMomâ I wail âDo it, Rowenaâ She snaps at me. âDo it for usâ âThatâs enoughâ Seth commands, breaking our conversation. I rise to my feet, shaking like a leaf and my eyes meet my fatherâs. 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. âI denounce themâ I mutter, my voice breaking. âLouder, Rowenaâ My mother encourages, nodding her head. âI denounce them!â I shout, the tears streaming down my cheeks. âI am not with these traitors and I do not identify as their familyâ The crowd begins jeering at me and my parents but I am staring into Sethâs 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. âYou have done the right thingâ 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. âAny last words?â Seth asks. My father sighs at this and then he turns to me. âYou are special, Rowena. Very special and I want you to remember thatâ 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. âYou may beginâ Seth declares. The sword swings once, taking my fatherâs 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 fatherâs 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. âFollow meâ Isobelâs voice drags me out of my reverie. I walk behind her, stopping as she enters Sethâs tent. âCome insideâ She orders. I walk in, my eyes coming up to hers. âWhat is your plan?â She asks me. âWhat are you talking about?â I shoot back. âYou 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 somethingâ âJust as you plotted?â I ask her. â bitch!â She raves. âHe should have killed you too and somehow you are still standing here in front of meâ âI plan to serve you to the best of my ability, Isobelâ 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. âWhat are you doing?â He bellows. âShe insulted your Luna, Sethâ Ana whines. âThat does not give you the right to slap her, Isobel. Go to your room till I call for youâ He commands. Isobel eyes me then asks me to follow her. âRowena will stay hereâ He stops her. âWhat do you mean? You promised she will be my maid and serve meâ She reminds him. âI know what I said but promises can change and I want her to serve me instead.â 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. âYou 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 traitorâ Isobel spat. âIt 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.â Seth snaps. I watch this display with mild interest. âShe is no longer your mate, Seth⊠I am and I want her to serve meâ She tries again. âDo not question my orders, Isobel⊠now leaveâ Seth responds to her. âI am sorryâ She mutters, exiting the tent. I am left alone now with Seth and my heart is pounding rapidly in my chest. âAre you okay?â 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. âYou should sitâ He says, leading me to his bed. âI did not want thisâ He mutters as he caresses the side of my face. âIt is not your faultâ 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. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/dvbl2moa4 | Le | https://www.facebook.com/100092986922851/ | 73 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | www.novel-oasis.com | VIDEO | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/dvbl2moa4htcowwvvmfc2vjt?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120213973143310267&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/467962571_8797898176965833_3929986097303436198_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=8PqAT5_QtfgQ7kNvgHBarxs&_nc_oc=AdisNg9fp-cLcc7AghH__kyVSS298jHpfpc89F4DgdjmivnW0lq2SUmPuVvKQdK1fjB1vHakfhB9SRRi25NNXgxe&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&_nc_gid=AtP0RGK_pJVdXpAkCuJo3Im&oh=00_AYCeDcPw8qx9ELbitoDDts409A_o1NvgUGSQTxDZFget7Q&oe=67C403E8 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Le | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Chaos ensued and people ran and screamed in terror. I found myself paralyzed, my legs rooted on spot and my mind unwilling to register to my brain that if I didn't move right now, I would be a dead little weak Omega soon. But the white wolves mesmerized me. And I couldn't reap my eyes off their glowing golden eyes even though they looked angry. "Effie, let's go!" After a considerable amount of my little sister's urgent inaudible voice on the background, I finally heard her clear scream, her hand pulling me with urgency. Finally, my legs gave way and we started to run. "Mom is going to kill us, Effie!" My little sister, Gage screamed as we ran. "Is that really your concern right now?!" I screamed back. Hot flames erupted from the ground just a step away from us, forcing us into an abrupt stop. Just then, we felt a heavy spark from behind us, like some bomb had went off. I looked behind me to catch the transformation of one of the wolves into a Titan wolf. I was seeing this for the first time and their height was massive, more than we heard in stories. He roars and caught sight of me. Fear caught hold of me, but before I could pull Gage away, he was throwing a thunder at me, causing us to fall over in the mix of sands and dirt. I tried to open my eyes but everywhere looked dark. Gage..... I peeled my eyes open and tried to look for my sister. But something else suddenly caught my attention. A smell that stung my nostril so hard, I wanted to get rid of it. The smell was the best I've ever smelled since all my eighteen years alive. It was happening. My mate was here. Why did he have to be here right now? I didn't find him two days ago after my birthday so why now? As I looked around, I found Gage's unconscious body laid beneath the dirt. "Gage!" I screamed and attempted to leap over to her but before I could, something big came over me. One of the White wolves. His eyes glistened with thunder as they watched me with anger. The fur on the body stood out as he growled slowly at me. He completely caged me so I couldn't escape. My heart beat rose up at his appearance, but it slowly went down as I realized the smell I perceived was now directly from him. He had found me here. Because he's my mate. I'm Mated to a white mountain wolf? But he looked pissed at me, like he was angry that I was his mate. I was weak and he didn't want me. I wouldn't want me either. Another big wolf comes and stands over my unconscious sister. As he looked away to see the second wolf, I notice an ornament around on of his arm. A beautiful clear crystal bracelet surrounding one arm. "Take the little girl." He said to the second wolf, his voice bold and instilling fear. "No! That's my sister!" I screamed. But my sister was already disappearing before my eyes, in the back of the second wolf as he ran away towards the volcano hill. Then my mate's eyes watched me. There was so much hate, so much disgust in them as they watched me. He looks above me and spoke "all the titans should fall back, today is not the day." Quickly, the entire place cleared in my eyes. Every last one of them disappeared, including him too. I hurried back to the village. The entire place was deserted. Some of the houses had fallen to the ground. Where did everybody go. I ran to my house but there wasn't a soul there. The last time Gage and I had seen our parents was when we took off this morning to go see the descent of the White wolves. What we didn't expect was a war between them and our people. They came out and killed everyone. Bodies laid piled up on the dirty ground. Nobody has ever seen where the Titan wolves lived but I needed to get my sister back. I dashed Into the house and took the only thing I had to fight, a crossbow my father had gifted me on my seventeen birthday. Then I dashed Into the woods, switching into my wolf form in order to be able to pick Gage's scent more quickly. I spent a considerable amount of time in the bushes, not finding a trail of her. I lost her scent. As I rounded around the volcano, I discovered a dark opening. Bracing myself, I fit myself into it and slipped inside. I landed on a can of rubbish. I peeped out and found a completely different world, a few people walking around. Exiting the can, I walked so people didn't notice me. I tried to pick my sister's scent but couldn't. I noticed a bridge and I climbed it, only to me stinged by that same scent from earlier. My mate's scent. Quickly, I followed it. As I walked, I noticed a tall building resembling a castle. There's plenty of large windows. I bent over and climbed the wall, the scent getting heavier and heavier. Then I saw the person whose wolf form I'd seen earlier. He is dressed in what looked like a royal robe, a crown seated firmly on his head. He's a prince? A king? The room was filled with a lot of fancy dressed people. There seemed to be an occasion going on but I couldn't give a care in the world. I rose the bow up and stroke the glass windows, letting myself in. I jumped inside the broken window and rolled on the floor until I was standing right in front of my mate and pointing my arrow at him, everyone gasping behind us. My eyes watched him with anger and fear, as his watched me without an emotion. With fire in my eyes, and a trembling voice, I asked "where is my sister?" ------------------------ As I retreated away from the girl, I was compelled to go back to her. It was harder for me to leave like that but I have a mate chosen for me already and I needed to make it back to make her my mate. I found my mate, but I couldn't hurt my best friend for her. "Your Highness," My beta, Eli called "I think we should meet everyone now. It is time." We were standing in my room, both dressed. Today, Anisa and I will be wedded and mated. She would be my Queen and most of all, she will be my Luna. "I found my mate, Eli." I muttered to him. "You did what was best. That Omega girl is weak. She is not a royal blood." He's right. From the beginning of time, the Titan wolves of the royal descent must be mated to only those from the royal blood too. They didn't follow the moon goddess's rule of mating who has been chosen for you. "And her sister?" I asked. "The doctor is taking care of her. I'm sure she's fine now." I nodded before we headed out. Just as I was about stepping out of my room, I caught her scent. I looked out the window but couldn't see her. Was she here, in white steel pack? Stepping into the room full of people waiting for my arrival, I caught Anisa's eyes watching me with delight. I sit next to her but I couldn't help perceive the scent around me. It was getting stronger and stronger. She was here. The window shattered from across the room and somebody threw herself in. Then she was in front of me in one second, her crossbow pointing at me, rage in her eyes. I'm turned on by her fierce entrance. "Where is my sister?" She had come for her sister? Her voice has some fear in them, but she was brave. "Your sister is now our prisoner" I told her coldly. Every second that I watched her, I wanted to hold her in my arms. But I had my duties to my family and my people. Then she did something that completely shocked me. She lowered her crossbow and stood up. Then pointed a finger at me and said "this man right here is my mate!" Everyone gasped. "And he knows that!" "I am getting married to my rightful mate!" I shot back, pulling Anisa's hand into mine. There's a shock in her eyes at this revelation. What did she think we were gathered here for? A tea party? I saw the pain in her eyes. But as quickly as they came, they disappeared, replaced by anger. She points her crossbow at me again. "I, Effie Owens reject you as my mate, Alpha." She said, disgust and pain emitting from her voice. She looked like if I even made a move she would put that arrow inside of me. "I, Alpha and Prince Cain Malachi do not accept your rejection." I said with gritted teeth. Whispers rose from the people in the room but I didn't care. She didn't get to reject me. She was a weak and low Omega, without even a royal bloodline. I am the one who gets to reject her. "Seize her." I commanded, my eyes watching hers intensely. She doesn't shoot the arrow even when it's pointed at my chest, tears welling up in her eyes. The sight breaks my heart. It shatters my entire being. I know that I have a lot of questions to answer later, but so be it. My men apprehends her, dragging her to the corner. EFFIE's P. O V. "The king and queen has arrived !" Someone announced as the large glass doors pulled open and two couple whom I assumed to be this arrogant prince's parents to be walked in. They were filled with so much grace, I'd never seen anything like this before. A man dressed in a cloak follows them, stopping where Cain is now standing, the blond woman rising now to stand before him. My heart broke when he said that he had a mate. But I did the only thing I could to protect my heart: rejecting him first. After all, I'd only come here for my sister, not to be mated with him. I watched in horror as the cloaked man said some things, uniting them, and Cain leaning over her and digging his fangs into her neck, marking her. I watched, my heart beat accelerating painfully. Cain gives me a look, a look intended to hurt me and yes he was winning. Because I was hurt. That should be me. As the guards pulled me out of the room, my eyes lingered on Cain. I will never be with my mate. The guards were talked me to completely different building. I didn't realize it was a cell section until I was seeing some people from my village caged inside. They all gasped as they saw me. "Effie?" I heard my mother's voice and I turned immediately to see her against the cell bar, tears smeared all over her face. "Mother?" I called, my heart growing heavy. But the guards pushed me forward before I could reach her. I screamed and tried to fight them before they bundled me up and threw me into an empty cell. I spent the entire night sobbing. I had no idea where my little sister was, and I'd lost my mate the same way I met him. I was a weak Omega. My life has always been worthless. Why wasn't I one of those people who died back at the village? I didn't know I slept off until the next morning's light was burning my eyes through the window. I heard the bar doors opening with urgency, and a man picking my arm and dragging me out. I didn't find my mother in the cell I'd seen her last night as we went outside. I was dragged and dropped in the middle of two huge Titan wolf statues. That scent stung my nostrils again and I looked up to find Cain standing high above me, his parents right next to him along with some guards. Around us where his pack members, waiting for what was about to happen. Just as I was. Cain's father steps forward, silencing the crowd before speaking "this little Omega before you all here entered into my city illegally last night and tried to murder my son on his wedding night!" "Your son murdered my people!" I roared back, enough that everyone would hear me "and he kidnapped my little sister!" I lost my sister and my mate already. Might as well die. "If my son took your sister or did any of the things that you accuse him of, then he had his reasons." He replied, much to my surprise. What? The father steps away and Alpha Cain comes forward, his eyes watching me intimidatingly. "For punishment of her crimes, she will be exiled from the entire northern territories....." Wait, can he do that? I don't even belong to his pack. But he's a king, so does that mean he has the power to do that? "She will be blindfolded and taken far away, where she would never come back to harm our king again!" The person I assumed to be his Beta standing right next to him said. He couldn't do this to me. I haven't even seen my sister yet. I cannot leave my parents here as slaves to him. I thought he was supposed to be my mate. Why was he being so cruel when he didn't even know me? I was pulled away by the same guards and into a different building now. I was dumped inside a room with a large bed and other bedroom necessities. A few seconds later, I felt presence behind me. I started to turn, but I was pinned down on the bed before I could. My eyes grew wide as I watched Cain's face above mine, his big body caging my smaller one beneath him. He had his palm against my mouth, muffling my screams. "You didn't think I was going to let you go just like that, did you?" His voice is still and venomous. His hand slides in between my thighs. If this was a different situation, I'd have loved every touch. But instead, tears ran down my eyes. I tried to fight him but it seemed impossible against him. So I just laid there and watched his cold eyes as he rose my dress up and pushed himself in between my legs. He pulls his short down. I was aware of what he was going to do to me but I didn't have any strength left to fight him. In one swift move, he drove himself inside me. I've never had sex with any man before, but he pinned me here and stole my virginity from me. Pain shot through me like a knife as he pushed himself inside of me, forcefully. I cried painfully but he didn't care. He pulls out and turns me face down on the bed. Then he continued to me harder. I cried onto the bed but he didn't stop. After what felt like forever, he stopped and whispered into my ear "I do not want to ever see you again." And then he was gone. | LEARN_MORE | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/txvc2ntpb | Novel Yang Booming | https://www.facebook.com/100077426966140/ | 110 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Learn more | 0 | www.novel-oasis.com | VIDEO | https://www.novel-oasis.com/share/middle/txvc2ntpbo4mkctfuwrpcm0l?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120213828562820429&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-lga3-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/466975637_883038927348051_3888560739996735899_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=norg--6hVlMQ7kNvgEgQmZC&_nc_oc=AdgR9LCE-F8Hhw6Mw0vhdhSSq8g9QKJ9pPphWkXntklf6a8KnvYBk31VYyco-T8tI8ME0rNsdF8466Tk_VYWmR4q&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-3.xx&_nc_gid=Ac91w_tDAsbZb7viGJiXk39&oh=00_AYALMQNcyY78sY7iJr5huY87KR1Xu6m5hH1-EJsekGZciQ&oe=67C41030 | PERSON_PROFILE | 0 | 0 | 0 | Novel Yang Booming | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Possibly the greatest bit of casting genius in TV history! When the late Shannon Doherty was replaced on Beverly Hills, 90210, @tiffanithiessen was brought in as "Valerie Malone." Despite showing up as the girl next door (a role she was known for playing as "Kelly Kapowski" on "Saved by the Bell") the end of the episode revealed she was anything but in this role! #90210 #beverlyhills90210 #90stv V | VIEW_INSTAGRAM_PROFILE | http://instagram.com/mikeparkercollects | mikeparkercollects | https://www.instagram.com/_u/mikeparkercollects | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Visit Instagram profile | 0 | instagram.com | IMAGE | http://instagram.com/mikeparkercollects | 1969-12-31 18:00 | https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-19/464681143_532634316295977_1832177921553006434_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s206x206_tt6&_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=525117&_nc_ohc=3RHJr9sl9dwQ7kNvgEZl6jS&_nc_oc=AdiDuVvZS-orCPjsd75Po9ThUvudxJIAarOf9ql-mWN2Y_rpdPToZT7E334ebvLWXMk&_nc_zt=24&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&oh=00_AYAgEa_17cDaa0RkTigv31F7k1vysL4EnkkaA6xCoTcfeQ&oe=67C2DA2F | IG_ADS_IDENTITY | 1 | 0 | 0 | mikeparkercollects | 0 | 0 | 1969-12-31 18:00 | View Edit Delete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
