622,092	/src/Template/Ads/index.ctp (line 281) null	No	2024-03-20 00:40	active	294	1076799283396303		We have evolved for thousands of years using our feet as sensors to our earth and life. <br /> Walking barefoot has so many benefits for babies and children.<br /> The vestibular and proprioceptive systems have to do with balance and a child’s sense of body, balance and coordination. Which being barefoot benefits. <br /> <br /> Grounding into the earth is also a sensory experience for the hundreds of thousands of nerve endings on the foot. It is also a way to prevent flat feet.<br /> 👣 <br /> Finding safe places and hikes for little ones to go barefoot is ideal. <br /> <br /> What are your thoughts? <br /> <br /> #barefootbaby #barefootbenefits #vestibularsystem #sensory #grounding	VIEW_INSTAGRAM_PROFILE	http://instagram.com/nicole_astara	105627645661017	nicole_astara	https://www.instagram.com/_u/nicole_astara	0	1	330,296,416,700,918	2024-03-19 02:00	ig_ads_identity	eligible	NONE	0	1	0	Visit Instagram profile	nicole_astara	6581016235217	instagram.com	NONE	video		http://instagram.com/nicole_astara		2024-03-16 23:18	https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-19/181251807_197708865518907_2444215957253682937_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s200x200&_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=3fd06f&_nc_ohc=2RXEdrizy7EAX8zK1LS&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&oh=00_AfChM14kZW1Kcwu899vmjg-JB1EfOugpuDJigodSnEQyfQ&oe=660016B8	ig_ads_identity	1	Nicole (Ciccarelli) DeLorenzo	https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/432211628_929324565363361_2768861683776949661_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=JFMzotblWh0AX84IpIy&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AfDgYIzAoedS1ETbcmiDxI3iFEMEUqWZhWSYycFQ9O-H5g&oe=65FE9B01	3	nicole_astara	2024-03-16 02:00	View Edit Delete

This time she was born<br /> again, and none of her five brothers could escape.<br /> -------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Simone Gray opened her eyes, surveyed the surroundings, and looked at the familiar room from her memories. She had indeed returned. Reaching out to grab her phone from the nightstand, she checked the date before a smile appeared in her eyes. What perfect timing.<br /> <br /> Just as she was thinking, a knocking sound echoed. She got up to open the door and saw a handsome man standing there, questioning her immediately, "I called you earlier. Why didn't you answer?"<br /> <br /> Simone replied calmly, "I didn't feel like it."<br /> <br /> Standing before her was her second brother, Titus Gray, who was also her current agent.<br /> <br /> He was momentarily stunned, visibly not expecting his sister to say that. He furrowed his brows and lectured impatiently, "Stop causing trouble, will you?"<br /> <br /> She raised an eyebrow. "Say something new. I'm tired of hearing the cliche from all of you."<br /> <br /> Since returning to the Gray Family, her mother and five brothers kept telling her not to cause trouble.<br /> <br /> Titus choked. "Is this amusing to you? Jo wants to be in that variety show. What harm would it do if you just let that happen? Must you make the whole family unhappy?"<br /> <br /> Simone looked at him coldly. "This is an opportunity I fought for myself. I won't give it up. It's your business if you're unhappy."<br /> <br /> Simone did not grow up with her family from a young age. Instead, she got lost at four when Aaron Gray, her fifth brother, took her out to play. After that, the Gray Family adopted a girl of similar age and even changed her name to Jodie Gray.<br /> <br /> A year ago, the Gray Family found Simone and brought her back home. However, they overly favored Jodie and looked down on Simone. Whenever she clashed with the adopted daughter, it was always Simone who was considered troublesome.<br /> <br /> Before entering the entertainment industry, she worked hard and used her talent to climb from an unknown to a C-list actress in just over a year. After being recognized by the family, they brought her home, asked her to terminate the contract with her original company, and transferred her to the entertainment company owned by the Gray Family. In the meantime, Titus became her agent.<br /> <br /> Jodie, who originally studied music, suddenly wanted a part in the entertainment industry. She also joined the company and was mentored by Titus. In the past year, she received all the good resources, directly jumping from an unknown to a C-list actress.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, the resources Titus provided Simone were the ones that Jodie rejected. Last month, she saved the wife of a director and gained a spot as a guest on a highly anticipated new variety show before it even aired.<br /> <br /> Similarly, Jodie showed interest in the show and expressed her desire to join. However, the guests were already confirmed, and it was not easy for someone of Jodie's popularity to be added under special circumstances. Hence, Titus and the family suggested that Simone give up her spot to Jodie.<br /> <br /> She knew that Jodie intentionally wanted to snatch her opportunity, so she refused and was then condemned by her entire family. Last night, she insisted on not giving up her spot and returned to her room after arguing with them.<br /> <br /> Titus had appeared now because Jodie had not given up and pretended to be pitiful in front of him; that was why he came to her again. He took a deep breath. "I'll find you a better opportunity. Just give this up for Jo."<br /> <br /> Simone sneered. "I don’t care about your better opportunity. Just give it to your beloved Jodie." She did not want to waste any more words with Titus and simply shut the door.<br /> <br /> His eyes showed some disbelief when he looked at the closed door. That was the first time Simone had shown him disrespect since returning home, his expression dark. "Simone, you're being unreasonable."<br /> <br /> He knocked on the door again, but she did not open it. Only then did he leave with a stern face. After shutting the door, Simone's heart could barely stir up emotions. In her previous life, she yearned for family affection, and after being recognized, she had always tried to please the Grays.<br /> <br /> For instance, she took care of their various needs, made their meals, gave massages, accompanied them in acting and dancing, and so on. She tried to fulfill whatever tasks or requests they had, but in the end, she failed to make them love her. When she and Jodie were kidnapped, everyone chose to rescue Jodie first, and she ended up losing her life.<br /> <br /> At that moment of death, she completely lost hope and severed her ties with the Gray Family. However, she did not expect to be bound by a system that took her to various mini timelines to fulfill tasks. Upon completion, she would be rewarded with life points, and only by accumulating them could she return to this world.<br /> <br /> Simone extended her right hand and looked at her palm; her lifeline was short. It meant that she had less than a year left, only until the time of her death in her previous life.<br /> <br /> The system informed her during the unbinding process that she needed to be adored by more people to extend her life. The more people who favored her, or the more people she helped to gain popularity, the longer her life would be.<br /> <br /> It was similar to exchanging faith for life points but would not affect those who liked her. Otherwise, she would not harm others for the sake of extending her own life. Now, saving her life was crucial because she needed more time or energy to continue getting entangled with the Grays.<br /> <br /> She packed up her belongings and put them in a suitcase. Since returning to the Gray Family, everything was bought for her by the housekeeper, and she did not take anything. As such, she calculated the expenses since coming to the Gray Family and noted them down.<br /> <br /> At the same time, she took out the bank card her father gave her when she returned. Luckily, she had not used any money in it. She opened the door as she carried the suitcase and went downstairs.<br /> <br /> At that moment, everyone was in the living room. When they saw Simone with her bags, they were displeased. Salma Johnston frowned and looked at her. "What trouble are you up to this time? It's been nothing but chaos ever since you returned."<br /> <br /> Simone found it amusing. "Did I insist on returning? I remember you all came to pick me up, right? And what trouble did I cause? Jodie wanted my resources, and not giving them makes me the bad guy? If we're being clear here, aren't all of you the unreasonable ones?"<br /> <br /> Salma did not expect Simone to talk back, so her displeasure deepened. "Jo just likes that variety show. You're the young lady of the Gray Family now, while Jo has lost that status. Shouldn't you compensate her? Moreover, Titus said he'd get you a better opportunity in exchange. Why do you have to fight over it?"<br /> <br /> Luca Gray, the third brother, added, "I think you just can't stand Jo, so you deliberately target her."<br /> <br /> Andrew Gray, the fourth, impatiently said, "Simone, can't you just be good? Why do you have to cause trouble?"<br /> <br /> In her previous life, Simone might have been upset by such unfair accusations, but not anymore. Instead, she sneered and said, "You guys are truly good at blaming others for your own fault. I never knew that defending what's rightfully mine would make me the unreasonable one. First of all, I never stole anything from her in the first place. On the contrary, she replaced me and enjoyed a comfortable life in the Gray Family for years. Secondly, you need to understand that it was you who lost me back then. I don't owe her anything, and I certainly don't owe any of you either. So, what exactly do I need to compensate for?" When Salma was about to speak, Simone added, "As for the young lady of the Gray Family, she can have it. I don't really care about it."<br /> <br /> Salma was stunned for a moment, not expecting Simone to say such things. "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Simone replied with indifference, "I mean it literally. I am cutting off all ties with you and leaving the family. In the future, we will go back to being strangers when we meet." She added, "Your beloved adopted daughter will remain the little princess of the Grays. You don't need to worry that I will steal anything from her or try to take your love for her. I am simply making things easier for all of you."<br /> <br /> Chapter 2 Who Needs Such A Brother<br /> <br /> Simone couldn't care less about her biased parents and brothers, treating them as if they had no blood relation to her.<br /> <br /> When she was young, Aaron lost her, and human traffickers intended to sell her. Thanks to her master saving and adopting her, her life wasn't as miserable as it could have been.<br /> <br /> Her words successfully changed the expressions of the Grays. They never expected her to decide to cut ties and leave them.<br /> <br /> Jodie, leaning against Salma, glanced at Simone with a subtle expression. She looked at her while her face showed an apologetic and guilty expression. "No. The one who should leave is me. I'm sorry; I didn't mean to snatch your opportunity. I just liked that variety show, so Titus went to talk to you. I don't want to participate in that variety show anymore. You don't need to be unhappy. I don't want to anger and worry you."<br /> <br /> On the surface, she appeared guilty, but in reality, it was a strategic retreat. This way, she could distance herself from accusations of intentionally competing with Simone for resources while also showcasing her considerate and generous nature. She was playing her act in front of the Grays, subtly implying that Simone was using the threat of cutting ties and leaving the Gray Family.<br /> <br /> As expected, the family members' expressions turned unpleasant.<br /> <br /> Simone looked at Jodie and retorted without reservation, "Don't try to act innocent and pitiful in front of me with that look. I won't fall for that." She spoke her mind without holding back after completely giving up on family affection. "You say you want to leave and have been saying it for a year, but you’re still here. I've long been tired of your act of strategic retreat. Only fools would believe it." She intentionally exposed the truth. "Of course, you wouldn't actively ask me for resources. As long as you say it, they will naturally present you with whatever you want. You don't need to put on a show for them. I don't care about your thoughts since I've already stopped caring about what you guys think."<br /> <br /> These words successfully darkened the faces of the Grays.<br /> <br /> Jodie's expression changed slightly. She suppressed the anger in her heart and hugged Salma with a touch of grievance. "I'm not. Don't say such things about our family."<br /> <br /> In her heart, she wondered if Simone had gone crazy by choosing to confront her head-on and speaking so harshly. Although being rebuked by Simone left her feeling quite displeased, the fact that Simone had created such a scene today would only make everybody dislike her even more. So, she endured her sarcasm.<br /> <br /> As expected, Salma was infuriated. "What are you saying? Where are your manners?"<br /> <br /> Simone shrugged. "I was born to my parents but not raised by them. My manners have long vanished."<br /> <br /> The family was speechless. Salma looked at Simone with disappointment. "Are you still blaming us? It seems we made a mistake bringing you home. We've compensated you a lot this year. What more do you want? Why do you have to compete with Jo? Can't you just peacefully be sisters?" She emphasized. "Although you are our biological daughter, Jo has been by our side all these years in your place. In our hearts, she's an important part of the Gray Family; she's my daughter."<br /> <br /> Simone used to find these words piercing and heart-wrenching, but she truly didn't care anymore. "What did I compete for? Since I returned to the family, you two have been clinging to me. Everything I do is interpreted as vying for favor and wanting things that don't belong to me."<br /> <br /> She took the bank card from her bag and threw it onto the table in front of them. "This is the compensation you gave me, and I haven't used a single penny from it." There were 150 thousand on this card, barely the amount of Jodie's monthly allowance, but that was the compensation for Simone over the years. "I won't take away the things the housekeeper bought for me, but for the things I've used, I will pay you in cash."<br /> <br /> Then, she placed the written paper on the table. "In the year plus that I've been here, I've spent less than 15 thousand, including living expenses. Here's the list. I just transferred 15 thousand to this card. From now on, we settle our accounts."<br /> <br /> What could be solved with money was not a problem. So, on her side, she and the Grays were even, but what they owed her would be forever outstanding.<br /> <br /> Simone's actions made the Grays feel as if she were serious, rendering them somewhat embarrassed. Salma couldn't accept that her daughter, who had been obedient all those while, would do such a rebellious and disobedient thing.<br /> <br /> She slammed the table with her hand, her face full of anger. "Fine. Go ahead. But once you step out of our gate today, don't think about coming back."<br /> <br /> She believed Simone wouldn't act on it. Just as Jodie said, this was a tactic of strategic retreat by threatening them with leaving. If Simone succeeded this time, who knew how she would stir things up in the future?<br /> <br /> Salma let Simone leave, not because she wanted her to but to warn her not to cause trouble again. The others didn't speak, unanimously sharing the same thoughts.<br /> <br /> Of course, Simone knew what they were thinking. I look like I'm bluffing, don't I? "I'm leaving for good." After saying that, she grabbed her suitcase while showing no attachment and turned to leave.<br /> <br /> Seeing this, Steven Gray, her father, spoke, "Stop making a fuss. Jo won't want that variety show opportunity anymore. In the future, I'll have Titus fight for some good gigs for you."<br /> <br /> Regardless of the circumstances, she was still his biological daughter, and he couldn't let her leave just like that. Moreover, leaving home after just over a year since returning would make their family a joke in the eyes of others.<br /> <br /> Simone turned around and looked at her father indifferently. "You think I'd stay for your so-called gigs?"<br /> <br /> He frowned. "I didn't mean that. All I'm saying is that you are now part of the family, so we will naturally compensate you."<br /> <br /> She found it ridiculous. "Thank you for your compensation. For the past year, I have deeply experienced your emotional abuse, complaints, and disdain. So, I'll pass on that."<br /> <br /> Steven was taken aback as he looked at Simone, who seemed unyielding and unapproachable. "What do you want, then?" He was usually busy and had neglected his biological daughter for more than a year.<br /> <br /> She affirmed, "I want to sever ties with you. It's as simple as that. There's no need to contact each other in the future. Goodbye."<br /> <br /> He was infuriated by Simone's attitude, while the Gray brothers also appeared displeasing. Especially Aaron, who regarded her with a complex and indignant expression. "Are you still blaming me? Are you trying to make us compromise and compete for Jo's favor?"<br /> <br /> Simone stared at him icily. "Are you suggesting that I shouldn't hold you accountable? Back then, you lost track of me and allowed human traffickers to abduct me. I was almost sold off to the mountains. Should I express gratitude for losing me back then?"<br /> <br /> Aaron's face flushed and then paled. "I didn't mean to do that, and I wasn't even aware that you were almost sold off to the mountains."<br /> <br /> She raised an eyebrow. " Does saying that erase the fact that you lost me and changed the course of my life?"<br /> <br /> Upon her return to the Gray Family, he exhibited more kindness and concern compared to her four brothers and her parents, but it all seemed like an attempt to make up for his past mistakes.<br /> <br /> However, whenever she had conflicts with Jodie, he always sided with the latter. Therefore, I don't need a brother who doesn't truly love me.<br /> <br /> Chapter 3 She's Had Enough<br /> <br /> Simone's words left Aaron unsure of what to say for a moment. While he had not intended to lose her back then, he indeed caused his younger sister to be lost for many years and deprived her of the life of a wealthy young lady.<br /> <br /> She continued, "I'll repeat. I no longer care about you guys, so I have zero interest in vying for favor with Jodie."<br /> <br /> Titus scowled. "Think it over. If you sever ties with us, don't expect any resources from the company."<br /> <br /> The eldest brother, Reuben Gray, added, "We might even boycott you."<br /> <br /> They hoped that by saying this, Simone would reconsider for the sake of her future. They wanted her to know her limits and back down.<br /> <br /> However, she suddenly burst into laughter. "You speak as if you've given me a lot of resources this past year. Since I joined Gray Entertainment, the resources I received are not even close to what I used to get from that small company that often exploited me. Not only are the resources few and poor, but I've also been attacked online, where you didn't bother calling the PR. You even want to snatch away the resources I managed to secure for myself for Jodie. You truly have the nerve to use this to threaten me."<br /> <br /> At the sight of their darkened faces, she continued, "Fortunately, when I joined the company, I didn't sign any contracts, so I won't need to terminate any."<br /> <br /> At the time, Reuben and Titus had assured her they were all one family, so there was no need to bother signing contracts because they would not make her suffer any losses. Since she did not know what it would be like when she returned to the Gray Family, she agreed, thinking it would be wise to keep some leverage. As expected, she had not made a mistake in keeping her options open.<br /> <br /> Otherwise, if she wanted to terminate the contract, she would have to pay a substantial penalty. If she could not afford it, she was sure they would go as far as blacklisting her if she did not cooperate.<br /> <br /> "From today onwards, I won't serve you anymore. Do whatever you want. You didn't publicly announce my identity, so I won't have to announce it to the public either. Goodbye forever!" She turned away once again, this time briskly leaving with her suitcase. Once outside, she pressed the pause button on the recording on her phone.<br /> <br /> Upon seeing Simone's resolute departure, the Grays felt dissatisfied besides anger. Then, Salma furiously said, "She actually left. It's outrageous."<br /> <br /> Titus said with a scowling face, "Since she's so stubborn, I'll have her know that once she leaves us, she'll be and have nothing." He felt that Simone's sudden rebellion was aimed at him as he asked her to give up her spot for Jodie, angering her. Subsequently, he turned to Reuben and said, "Ben, get in touch with other entertainment companies. Tell them not to sign Simone."<br /> <br /> Reuben nodded. "All right."<br /> <br /> Faced with a once obedient sister who suddenly rebelled, he thought of giving her a taste of reality and making her understand that being willful had consequences. After seeing Reuben's agreement, Titus squinted his eyes. "No matter how independent she is, she won't go far. Soon, she'll be begging to come back."<br /> <br /> He would also inform the agents in the industry not to sign Simone.<br /> <br /> Hearing the words of her two brothers, Jodie felt a sense of joy in her heart. However, she said with a self-blaming expression, "It's all my fault for making Simone angry and leaving. Reuben, Titus, please don't do this. When she calms down, I'll apologize to her, and she'll come back." The more she said this, the more the family felt that Simone was being willful and became more resentful.<br /> <br /> Sure enough, Reuben said, "This has nothing to do with you. She just doesn't know how to be content."<br /> <br /> The other four boys in the Gray Family agreed. "Exactly. She's already obtained the status of the young lady of the Gray Family, yet she always wants to compete with you. It's unreasonable."<br /> <br /> "You don't need to apologize to her. That would spoil her."<br /> <br /> "If we don't show her some toughness, she'll continue causing trouble at home."<br /> <br /> Compared to Jodie, Simone was willful. Salma thought for a moment, patted Jodie on the shoulder, and said, "We know you're kind-hearted, so you don't need to worry about this matter. Your brothers know what to do. She'll behave when she comes back."<br /> <br /> Hearing the words of the others, Steven also felt that it made sense. If Simone could not handle the outside world, she would naturally come back and seek reconciliation. Therefore, he did not object to it.<br /> <br /> Jodie then nodded helplessly. "All right."<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Simone returned to the apartment she had rented after coming to Cebros. Even after returning to the Gray Family, she did not cancel the lease. Whenever she had conflicts with them or felt unhappy staying there, she would come and live there for a few days.<br /> <br /> After cleaning up her apartment, her phone rang. She was momentarily taken aback as a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. It was someone she had always been unwilling to think about—her childhood sweetheart and boyfriend, Leon Foster.<br /> <br /> When she was adopted by her master, she lived next door to Leon's grandfather, and the two old gentlemen had a good relationship. Back then, when she was abused by human traffickers and dared not step out of the yard, it was Leon who held her hand and walked her out, resembling a ray of sunshine that shone into her heart.<br /> <br /> She emerged from the shadow of human traffickers and started clinging to him, someone five years older than her. When he was in high school, he was brought back to Cebros by his family. To catch up with him, she worked hard to skip grades and entered a university in Cebros. After he entered the entertainment industry for two years, she graduated from college and joined the industry as well.<br /> <br /> Upon her return to the Grays, she took the initiative to confess to Leon, who did not reject. She always thought that he treated her differently. However, in her previous life, he made her feel the pain of betrayal.<br /> <br /> In this second chance at life, she did not want to have any entanglements with him anymore. As such, she answered the phone coldly, "What's the matter?" <br /> <br /> Leon found her attitude today a bit cold, but he did not take it to heart. "Are you not going on that variety show?" <br /> <br /> Simone retorted. "Who said that?" She knew he also hoped she would give up the spot for Jodie, which was why he called to probe her.<br /> <br /> He replied, "I heard from Titus that you're going to give up the spot."<br /> <br /> "There's no such thing. I won't give up the spot for anyone."<br /> <br /> He couldn't help but furrow his brow. "Won't you listen to Titus?"<br /> <br /> She sneered. "Why should I?"<br /> <br /> Leon and Titus were classmates in high school and had maintained a good relationship, staying in touch. That's why Leon came to persuade her to give up her previous life. Initially, she didn't suspect Jodie because she believed Leon genuinely cared for her.<br /> <br /> His frown deepened. "Titus is your agent, so he must have your best interests at heart. Don't be stubborn."<br /> <br /> She coldly snorted. "What am I being stubborn about? Am I being stubborn and unreasonable just because I won't give Jodie what she wants?" She sarcastically added, "If I give in, the Gray Family will think I'm sensible, and you'll happily be with your lover."<br /> <br /> She had reached her limit. In her previous life, she eventually gave up her position due to pressure from the Gray Family and Leon's persuasion.<br /> <br /> With the Gray Family's marketing, Leon's care, and assistance on the variety show, Jodie successfully portrayed herself as a kind-hearted lady and quickly gained popularity. The so-called good opportunities provided by Titus turned out to be a minor role in a drama with few scenes. Ultimately, the drama was never released due to controversy with the male lead.<br /> <br /> What surprised her even more was that Leon had received an invitation to the same variety show, but he had never told her. She only found out when the show premiered, and he was one of the mysterious guests.<br /> <br /> Observing Leon subtly taking care of Jodie, she realized that these two knew each other and that his feelings for Jodie were unusual. However, after watching only the first episode of the variety show, she had to leave for the filming of a drama.<br /> <br /> When she finished shooting, six months had already passed. At that time, she was a bit perplexed and unsure whether she should continue interacting with the Grays and Leon. Through a stroke of luck and a fortunate opportunity, she managed to secure the leading role in a niche film. As a result, she headed to a remote and mountainous area to shoot the film.

I knew I would not be welcomed there. I had never been my father's favourite. That honour went to his darling son, my elder brother, Fang. Fang was the Beta, and my twin brothers, Fallon and Fargo were powerful warriors in the pack. I was the youngest of four and the only girl. My name is Friday.<br /> <br /> My eighteenth birthday passed by like a regular day. Nothing happened. I failed to phase. Two years passed and now I was twenty, still wolf-less, my family gave up and disowned me.<br /> <br /> I only even bothered to enter the pack house because I wanted to catch a glimpse of the new alpha, Maze Mason. Today was his welcoming ceremony. He finally came back after two years away from home. I had never actually seen him before because my family hated bringing me to events.<br /> I pulled my hood up, afraid my brother Fang would see me here and send me away. But he spotted me right away and yelled at me.<br /> <br /> Fang: I don't believe this, Friday!<br /> <br /> Friday: Hey!<br /> <br /> He grabbed me by the arm. I tried to tug my arm away but failed.<br /> <br /> Fang: What are you doing here?<br /> <br /> Friday: Everyone is invited.<br /> <br /> Fang: Every werewolf is invited. You don't have a wolf, remember?<br /> <br /> Friday: ...<br /> <br /> Fang: Don't you dare come back here!<br /> I trudged away from the pack house, my eyes brimming with tears. I broke out into a run, heading for the woods. I tripped and fell unto my palms, bruising them. A few teardrops hit the soil below me.<br /> <br /> I was not even allowed to move away and live among humans or other creatures. The pack leaders had decreed that although wolf-less, I could be a threat if I left and conspired with enemy packs. I would never do something like that no matter how hurt I was. I got slowly to my feet and continued the long walk home.<br /> <br /> I lived as far from everyone else as possible, literally in the Marigold woods. I was lucky that my grandmother had left me a cottage there. I moved in when I was disowned. It was tiny but it was home.<br /> <br /> I changed into my only nightgown and crawled into bed. At least, my cat, Saturday, loved me. He purred and snuggled close to me.<br /> <br /> <br /> Maze: As the Alpha of Marigold, I had been away from home for two years, forming allegiances. My travels had greatly enriched the pack in terms of allies and trade. As I walked into the pack house I was met with cheers and applause. Everyone rushed to meet me. Beta Fang shook my hand.<br /> <br /> Fang: Welcome back, Alpha Maze, it's an honour.<br /> <br /> Maze: The pack had prepared a huge feast in my honour. The smell of the feast wafted throughout the pack house but an even more potent smell distracted me. My inner wolf stirred. The scent of wildflowers was driving me crazy.<br /> <br /> Maze: What's that? It's the most intoxicating thing I've ever encountered and it's getting fainter and fainter as if the source is moving away from me.<br /> <br /> Maze: Fang, who's missing?<br /> <br /> Fang: No one, Alpha.<br /> <br /> Maze: That's impossible.<br /> <br /> Maze: I used my alpha voice which made everyone fall silent.<br /> <br /> Fang: Well, the only person missing is um...Friday.<br /> <br /> Maze: Who's Friday?<br /> <br /> Fang: My little sister.<br /> <br /> Maze: Why isn't she here?<br /> <br /> Fang: Alpha, please, let's talk about this privately.<br /> <br /> Maze: I rolled my eyes and stalked off, heading out of the pack house, following the flowery scent. Fang hurried after me.<br /> <br /> <br /> Fang: Alpha Maze, my sister is wolf-less.<br /> <br /> Maze: Are you sure?<br /> <br /> Fang: Yeah, Friday is twenty years old. She should have phased two years ago but didn't. My parents gave her six months to see what would happen. Then they asked her to leave our house. She lives in the woods now in a cottage.<br /> <br /> Maze: I was of two minds. If she really was my mate, my heart broke for her but at the same time, my pride was devastated. I could not accept such a mate. I was from a long line of extremely powerful alphas all mated to very impressive she-wolves.<br /> <br /> Maze: We found the cottage and the scent intensified. She was definitely inside.<br /> <br /> Fang: Friday! Friday!<br /> <br /> I had only been asleep for barely a minute when a pounding on the door woke me up.<br /> <br /> Fang: Friday! Come on, the alpha wants to meet you!<br /> <br /> I opened my door hesitantly to reveal my brother standing next to a gorgeous man who was undoubtedly the alpha. His eyes were a stormy grey, cold but beautiful. He had chiseled features, broad shoulders and rippling muscles. His hair was dark brown and his skin was olive.<br /> <br /> Maze: I'm Maze Mason, the Alpha of Marigold.<br /> <br /> Friday: I'm Friday Fenestra. The Beta's sister.<br /> <br /> Maze: Your brother tells me you're wolf-less?<br /> <br /> I nodded, keeping my eyes down.<br /> <br /> Maze: You've never phased ever?<br /> <br /> Friday: No, never.<br /> <br /> Maze: How old are you?<br /> <br /> Friday: Twenty years old, Alpha.<br /> <br /> Maze: What happened on your eighteenth birthday?<br /> <br /> Friday: Nothing. Alpha.<br /> <br /> Alpha Maze turned to Fang and commanded him.<br /> <br /> Maze: Leave us.<br /> <br /> Fang looked shocked at his dismissal but sauntered away.<br /> <br /> Maze: What do you think of me?<br /> <br /> Friday: You're the alpha. You're wonderful. Tall. Strong. Handsome.<br /> <br /> Maze: Do I smell unusual?<br /> <br /> I did not have a werewolf's sense of smell. I had to get a little closer. I almost fell over and Alpha Maze caught me in his strong arms.<br /> <br /> A weird current shot through me when he touched me. His scent hit me. He smelled like an orchard to me. It was a lovely smell.<br /> <br /> Friday: You smell wonderful.<br /> <br /> Maze: Friday, my inner wolf led me to you tonight because you are my mate.<br /> <br /> His mate! The alpha's mate! The Luna! I was over the moon. I had always dreamt of meeting my mate. I was wolf-less but connecting with my mate would make me a part of things again. I would belong somewhere. I could have never dreamt I would be fated to the alpha. I wanted that kind of love, the love between mates more than anything else in this world.<br /> Maze: I, Alpha Maze Mason, of the Marigold Wolf Pack, reject you, Friday Fenestra, a wolf-less she-wolf, as my mate.<br /> <br /> I felt a sharp pain inside my chest. He walked away from me quickly.<br /> <br /> Maze: Tomorrow night will be the Peace Treaty Celebration. Alpha Thaddeus of Berryndale will be in attendance. You are not to come anywhere near the pack house. In fact, don't come to the pack house ever and don't tell anyone what we've discussed here. It will be as though you were never my mate.<br /> <br /> My heart shattered. I had not dared to feel anything close to happiness in two years and Maze made me elated and devastated all in the same five-minute conversation.<br /> <br /> I stayed on the tiny porch of the cottage, leaning against the wall. I hugged my knees to my chest. I tried to take deep breaths. How could fate be so cruel? I really did not ask for much. I was stupid to even for a second think I could be worthy of an alpha. I should have known right away he had just come to officially reject me.<br /> <br /> I crawled into bed. Saturday kneaded my back with his paws. I cried myself to sleep.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I'm Thaddeus, the Alpha of Berryndale. Marigold was an Aly to Berryndale, so it was my duty to attend the Peace Treaty Celebration. To be honest, I was not particularly looking forward to meeting Alpha Maze of Marigold. I had heard that he was arrogant.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I got out from the car eager to stretch my legs. I towered over everyone who came to greet us. Alpha Maze was only a few inches shorter than me. He shook my hand and led me and my Beta inside. Every pack I visited rolled out the red-carpet treatment and Marigold was no exception. However, none of that mattered to me. I was twenty-five years old, eight years after my phase, and still no sign of my mate. I was always disappointed after meeting a new pack and realising my mate was not among them. Was I mate-less? <br /> <br /> Thaddeus: The Marigold Beta, Fang, showed me to my room. He grinned from ear to ear.<br /> <br /> Fang: Alpha Thaddeus, it is truly an honour. You'll be in the guest room on the fifth floor, the Alpha's floor.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Alpha Maze was the only person besides me who was not upbeat. Maybe all Alphas are prone to being glum. He showed his courtesy anyway.<br /> <br /> Maze: I'm right across the hall, if you need anything.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I ran my fingers through my dark hair. I had not cut it in a while, too busy with my travels. It was just past my shoulders. Maybe, they had a good barber in Marigold.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Is there anywhere I can get a haircut around here?<br /> <br /> Fang: Yeah. My sister cuts my hair. And my brothers' hair.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Bring her to me.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: But suddenly Alpha Maze cut in.<br /> <br /> Maze: No. I mean, she is not allowed in the pack house.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Is she dangerous or something?<br /> <br /> Fang: Friday? She's tiny. But, yeah, we go to her house and take the clippers. I'll take you.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: And the reason she doesn't come here is?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: These people are avoiding my questions. What is wrong with them? They are shady.<br /> <br /> Fang: Because she's wolf-less.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Ok. In my pack, we protect our wolf-less. Some of us have great strength and that is a gift so that we may protect the weak. I insist that you bring her here.<br /> <br /> Maze looked shocked. There was another emotion in his eyes but he quickly masked it and nodded.<br /> <br /> Maze: Fine. Bring her here.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Maze didn't look at any of us. He went to his room and shut the door.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Fang quickly departed to fetch his sister. I went to my room to wait on this poor shunned wolf-less girl.<br /> <br /> <br /> Last night I dreamt of Maze. In my dreams, he accepted me so dreaming was much preferable to reality. Dreams were always better than reality when it came to me. I had not had a happy day in a while and my first happy moment in two years led to me being humiliated and heartbroken.<br /> <br /> I sprang up and ran to the door, flinging it open.<br /> <br /> Fang: You have to come to the pack house. That's an order!<br /> <br /> Friday: But—<br /> <br /> Fang: I don't want to hear it, Friday! Let's go!<br /> <br /> Friday: I just want to know why I'm being summoned to the pack house. Maze said never to come there.<br /> <br /> Fang: Don't be insolent! Maze changed his mind and that's Alpha Maze to you!<br /> <br /> Friday: I'll get ready very quickly.<br /> <br /> Fang: Come as you are. No one cares how you look.<br /> <br /> Fang grabbed me and swung me over his shoulder. I was still barefoot. I was too scared to protest.<br /> <br /> <br /> Fang marched through the woods at an incredible pace and before I knew it, he threw me on the porch of the pack house. I braced my fall with my already bruised palms. I got to my feet and followed Fang upstairs. He was leading me up many flights, all the way to the fifth floor, but the fifth floor was only for the alpha.<br /> <br /> The tallest werewolf I had ever seen opened the door. He was almost seven feet tall with broad shoulders. He stared at me, his blue eyes wide with shock. He smelled like a rainforest. It was the most beautiful smell.<br /> <br /> Fang: Alpha Thaddeus. This is my wolf-less sister Friday who cuts my hair like I was telling you.<br /> <br /> Wow, what a marvellous introduction. Fang left. I suddenly realised how sore I was from being thrown onto the porch.<br /> <br /> Alpha Thaddeus motioned me forwards into his room. It was amazing. I had never seen any of the Alpha floor's rooms. This room alone was bigger than my cottage and it was decorated in yellow and green, our pack colours.<br /> <br /> I looked at Alpha Thaddeus and smiled. His face lit up even more. He was so handsome. I blushed and looked away.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Friday, where are your shoes?<br /> <br /> Friday: Oh! I'm sorry, Alpha Thaddeus, I was in such a hurry to get here.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Please don't call me Alpha. My name is Thaddeus.<br /> <br /> Friday: Ok.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Please sit.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Friday, do you notice anything different about me?<br /> <br /> Friday: You're the tallest werewolf I've ever met, even for an alpha.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Ok. What about my smell?<br /> <br /> Friday: I-, it's...really...<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Friday, I'm not sure if you can tell because I know you are wolf-less but I can tell and...you are my mate, Friday, my Luna.<br /> <br /> Not this again. I didn't know how to react so I ran towards the door. Quick as lightning, Thaddeus grabbed me and spun me around. He held my arms gently.<br /> <br /> Friday: Are you playing a joke on me?<br /> <br /> He laughed but before I could panic or cry, I was in his embrace. He sat back in his chair, with me in his lap. He hugged me tightly to his chest. His rainforest smell was so wonderful. I inhaled it deeply and it relaxed me. His arms were strong but he held me so gently, as though I were a porcelain doll.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Why would you think I was playing a joke on you?<br /> <br /> Friday: You're an alpha. I don't have a wolf. No one wants a wolf-less luna.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I want you.<br /> <br /> The way he said it aroused me. I knew Thaddeus could smell it. His blue eyes darkened, his wolf taking over. I wanted him too.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I, Thaddeus Hawthorne, Alpha of the Berryndale Wolf Pack, accept you, Friday Fenestra, as my mate and Luna.<br /> <br /> Just then someone burst through the door.<br /> <br /> It was Maze. Seeing me sitting on Thaddeus's lap, Maze got furious. He lunged forward to grab me away from Thaddeus but Thaddeus quickly placed me behind.<br /> <br /> Maze: Let go of my mate!<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: What?! Friday was your mate?!<br /> <br /> Maze: Yes, I found out last night. I rejected her because she is wolf-less but that doesn't mean that she can be your plaything!<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Plaything? She's my mate now. And I've accepted her wholeheartedly. She's the future Luna of the Berryndale Wolf Pack.<br /> <br /> Maze: I, Maze Mason, Alpha of the Marigold Pack, rescind my rejection of Friday Fenestra. Friday, I accept you as my mate and Luna.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: She's already my mate and my Luna! I just said that same thing to her after you already rejected her. It's too late now!<br /> <br /> Fang had heard everything outside. He walked into the room.<br /> <br /> Fang: Alpha Maze, Alpha Thaddeus. In accordance with both of our packs' laws, you may both attempt to sway her. Our Aly status does not allow a fight to the death between alphas. The decision is hers. The she-wolf in question.<br /> <br /> Everyone turned to look at me. Yesterday no one wanted me. But now two Alphas? It was too much for me. I had never fainted before in my life but I suddenly saw the ground come up to meet me.<br /> <br /> <br /> When I came to, there were two faces anxiously observing me. I recognized a worried Thaddeus and a guilty-looking Maze. Judging by the fading light, I had been out for a few hours. Thaddeus leaned closer to me.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: How're you feeling, my Luna?<br /> <br /> Friday: I'm ok, really, I'm fine.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: The doctor said you had some bruises, as though you'd recently fallen or perhaps been in a fight.<br /> <br /> I thought back to Fang yanking me out of the pack house by my arm yesterday and throwing me onto the pack house porch today. Fang was glaring at me. I got up but fell back a little bit and Thaddeus immediately scooped me up in his arms. His embrace was so warm and comforting. Was he really my mate and alpha? Would I really be Luna and get to leave Marigold?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Could you please leave us alone?<br /> <br /> Maze: I'm not going anywhere. Friday belongs to my pack and therefore to me.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Friday belongs to no one until the end of the competition.<br /> <br /> Maze: How long is the competition?<br /> <br /> Maze clearly wasn't versed in these particular pack laws. Fang explained.<br /> <br /> Fang: About one month. The time between one full moon to the next full moon.<br /> <br /> There was a full moon tonight marking the Peace Treaty Celebration. The next full moon was about four weeks away naturally. I would have to put up with all this back and forth for a month!<br /> <br /> Friday: But... what is the competition?<br /> <br /> Fang: You will alternate days, Friday, spending one day with one alpha and the next day with the other and so on until the full moon ends the time period. On the night of that full moon, you will give your answer.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Do you understand, Friday, my little Luna?<br /> <br /> Friday: Um, yes, Thaddeus.<br /> <br /> He looked really pleased with my answer and squeezed me a little. I was surprised that Maze showed his eagerness.<br /> <br /> Maze: Well, I call today, then?<br /> <br /> Fang clarified.<br /> <br /> Fang: Today is almost over. It's the night of the first full moon, so it does not belong to a particular alpha. Tonight will be the formal announcement of the challenge. Friday is free to do what she wants until the ceremony tonight.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: What do you want to do, my little Luna?<br /> <br /> Friday: I want to talk to you a little, to ask you some questions.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Ask away, Friday.<br /> <br /> Friday: And I want to talk to Alpha Maze too, a little later, to ask him some questions.<br /> <br /> Maze begrudgingly left the room without another word, followed by my brother. My stomach clenched in excitement at the thought of being alone with Thaddeus again.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus quickly placed me to sit on the bed. He sat next to me, pulling me into his lap like he'd done earlier.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: You're beautiful.<br /> <br /> He nuzzled his nose against my neck. My heart was beating frantically.<br /> <br /> Friday: You too! I mean...handsome. You're handsome.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I'm ready to answer your questions, Friday.<br /> <br /> Friday: You really don't care that I'm wolf-less?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I really don't. I don't need a Luna for her power. I have enough power. I want a companion, a life-mate, a lover.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus moved my hair gently out of the way, revealing my neck. He kissed the spot where werewolves mark their mates. I shivered.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I have a question.<br /> <br /> I nodded eagerly.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: May I kiss you?<br /> <br /> Friday: Yes.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus pressed his lips against mine. Electricity coursed through me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and straddled him where he was sitting on the bed. He tightened his grip on me gently. He moved his lips against mine while massaging my back with his hands. I was rocking on his lap a little, every nerve in my body on fire. He bit down on my lower lip gently. I gasped, granting him access to my mouth. His tongue massaged mine. I shivered and he drew me even closer, rocking me, matching my movements. I broke away when I was totally breathless, panting, burying my face in his neck.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I've waited seven years for my mate. I finally have you! I'm not letting you go, ever. Friday, you're coming home with me when this is all over.<br /> <br /> <br /> A knock on the door broke us apart.<br /> <br /> It was Astrid, Fang's mate. She despised me.<br /> <br /> Astrid: Alpha Thaddeus. I have to steal Friday. She has to be properly attired for the Celebration so she can look like the prize two Alphas would compete for.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus stiffened, picking up on her thinly veiled insult regarding my looks.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: She already is that. But I'll let you dress her up, even prettier.<br /> <br /> He winked at me. Thaddeus was such a cool alpha, so perceptive and considerate. I kissed his cheek.<br /> <br /> Astrid led me to a room on the same Alpha floor. It was a walk-in closet filled with formal wear for a woman. Gorgeous gowns lined the walls.<br /> <br /> Astrid: This is the dressing room for the future Luna.<br /> <br /> She eyed me as though I was clearly not the future Luna. She put me in a dress that was short in the front but long in the back. The material was a pastel pink but was laced with gold thread so it would sparkle in the moonlight tonight. She curled my hair into loose ringlets and I loved it but I didn't say anything because she looked so pissed off. I was given heels that were clear as though they were made of glass. I was shocked at how pretty I looked. I really looked like a Luna two Alphas would be fighting for.<br /> <br /> There was a huge bonfire and the entire Marigold pack was gathered on the grounds, all chattering excitedly. The crowd gasped as they recognized me, the shunned wolf-less she-wolf, adorned in flowers and shimmery fabric like a queen. Maze and Thaddeus came into view. My brother led me to them.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus linked his arm with my right arm and Maze was on my left. Maze took a deep breath before he whispered to me.<br /> <br /> Maze: I'm sorry for rejecting you. I take it back. I hope you will choose me and stay in Marigold where you belong.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus was clearly listening to our conversation.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: You look like a goddess, Friday. I can't wait to worship you!<br /> <br /> I blushed and looked at the ground, away from both of them, overwhelmed by all the attention.<br /> <br /> Fang addressed the crowd, in his most powerful Beta voice.<br /> <br /> Fang: Welcome, werewolves of Marigold, to the Peace Treaty Celebration!<br /> <br /> Fang: We welcome our allies from the Berryndale Pack, Alpha Thaddeus Hawthorne and Beta Theodore Rosewood.<br /> <br /> Fang: Tonight is a very special night, not only do we celebrate our allies but we also welcome a peaceful challenge between allied packs. Today Alpha Thaddeus and Alpha Maze both accepted Friday as their mate and Luna.<br /> <br /> Fang: I know, I know. Both Alphas have agreed to enter a challenge marked by this full moon and ended by the next full moon. They have a month to win Friday's heart and allegiance as Luna. The first two weeks of the challenge, including this very ceremony, will be held in Marigold and the last two weeks and ending ceremony where Friday chooses her Alpha and mate will be held in Berryndale.<br /> <br /> The crowd cheered, satisfied with this drama and the conclusion which promised more drama.<br /> <br /> I looked down the whole time. Fang was enjoying the rapture of the crowd though I was caught in the middle of this debacle. Thaddeus noticed I was uncomfortable.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: You ok, Friday?<br /> <br /> Friday: I wonder if I could sit down.<br /> <br /> He led me over to a row of five chairs for the pack leaders several yards away from the bonfire. Maze followed us. I sat in the middle chair, and they both sat beside me. Fang and Theodore sat at the ends next to their Alphas.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Better, little Luna?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus whispered in my ear. I blushed and nodded. It was all so surreal. The auras of the two alphas were overwhelming me. I felt something stir inside me. Thaddeus' rainforest smell mingled with Maze's orchard smell.<br /> <br /> The pack members were dancing to the beating of drums now. The feast was being set up, buffet style, and light refreshments were being served on huge platters. I had not been to any pack celebration in more than two years, including the alpha ceremony last night. The platters came our way, bearing a variety of treats. <br /> <br /> Friday: What's this?<br /> <br /> I smiled at the server who was holding out a platter of small yellow pie-like treats.<br /> <br /> Server: It's quiche. Same as last night, Miss.<br /> <br /> Friday: I wasn't there, sorry.<br /> <br /> Alpha Maze was looking a little guilty. He whispered to me.<br /> <br /> Maze: You should have been allowed at my welcoming ceremony. Your brother was too harsh and I agreed with your ban only because...I couldn't handle being near your smell and...still...resisting you. You...smell delicious.<br /> <br /> I felt a little tingle in my stomach at being complimented by Maze, but was it necessary to resist me at all? Thaddeus accepted me immediately. I had thought that it would be impossible for an alpha to be proud to have me until I saw Thaddeus' reaction. I realised the world was much bigger than Marigold and their ideas.<br /> <br /> Friday: Thank you, Alpha Maze.<br /> <br /> I suddenly remembered I need to check on my cat, Saturday. I was sort of a Luna now. Maybe I could try to give a small command. I was scared but I loved my cat.<br /> <br /> Friday: Maybe, um, someone should go to my house and get my cat, Saturday. Actually, he may not go to anyone else... so maybe I should go fetch him.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: We have a kid already, baby, a fur baby. Hey, it's not the alpha heir I wanted but I'll put that in you soon enough.<br /> <br /> Maze looked like he was ready to kill.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus insisted on accompanying me to get Saturday. Maze followed us. Fang and Theodore also tagged along.<br /> <br /> I found my little black cat sleeping in his little bed. I picked him up and cradled him, walking to Thaddeus.<br /> <br /> Friday: Found him! I woke him up from his nap. He's not pleased.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Hi, Saturday.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus let Saturday smell his hand. Saturday purred a little then swatted his hand away playfully, regarding him with curiosity.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: He's a Momma's boy. We'll have to name our five kids, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday since Friday and Saturday are already taken.<br /> <br /> Theodore and I laughed but Maze and Fang glared at Thaddeus. I grabbed my few possessions and tossed them in a bag. We returned to the pack house. The moon was full overhead, gleaming, amongst a sky full of stars. Tonight I'd move to the Alpha floor, next door to the two beautiful beasts.<br /> <br /> The feast passed by uneventfully. I was physically and emotionally exhausted. My room was at the end of the Alpha floor. It was gorgeous. I decided to take a bath, relaxing in the warm water. Saturday was busy inspecting his new territory. I put on a plush robe and opened the door. Alpha Maze seemed surprised to see me in nothing but a bathrobe.<br /> <br /> Friday: I was in the middle of getting ready for bed, excuse my attire, Alpha Maze.<br /> <br /> He was eyeing the shape of my body under the robe, his grey eyes darkening.<br /> <br /> Maze: May I come in?<br /> <br /> Friday: Sure, Alpha.<br /> <br /> He sat at the table. I sat across from him.<br /> <br /> Maze: Unfortunately, tomorrow will be Alpha Thaddeus' day to spend time with you and the following day will be mine and so on. You had said you had questions for me.<br /> <br /> Friday: Yes, Alpha.<br /> <br /> Maze: Well, ask your questions.<br /> <br /> I was a little frightened but I needed answers.<br /> <br /> Friday: Why did you reject me?<br /> <br /> Maze: Because you are wolf-less and I always expected my mate would be a strong she-wolf. I was caught off-guard. You're not what I expected... That does not mean I was unaffected by you. Rejecting you was very painful for me.<br /> <br /> Friday: Really?<br /> <br /> Maze: Excruciating.<br /> <br /> Friday: Why did you take back your rejection?<br /> <br /> Maze: I smelled you with Thaddeus. You were...aroused and I was worried he was taking advantage of you. But when I came in...I realised...you were far from a plaything to him. He was treating you more warmly than I did. I felt ashamed and I could not handle letting you go without a fight.<br /> <br /> Friday: What if Thaddeus had never shown up? If I didn't have a second chance mate already, would you still be fighting for me?<br /> <br /> Maze took out a handkerchief and wiped some stray tears on my cheeks, one of his first acts of kindness towards me.<br /> <br /> Maze: I don't know. I don't know how long I would have stayed away from you but you never left my thoughts. The only way I could resist you was to make sure our paths wouldn't cross again by banning you from the pack house.<br /> <br /> Friday: Would you have punished me if I came to the pack house?<br /> <br /> Maze: I would have been furious at your disobedience on the surface, but I would have enjoyed looking at you again, smelling your scent. You smell like wildflowers. I'm not sure I would have been able to exact any punishment. You are my punishment. Wanting you but knowing you're not...the traditional candidate for Luna.<br /> <br /> Friday: Would you have selected a better...candidate...for Luna?<br /> <br /> Maze: Perhaps, but that relationship would be hollow.<br /> <br /> Friday: That's it for now, Alpha, thank you.<br /> <br /> Maze got up to leave. Before he left, he glanced back at me.<br /> <br /> Maze: It's Maze to you, Friday.<br /> <br /> I woke up, still a bit sore. I showered and found something to wear. It was a sundress in our pack colour, green and gold. I headed to the dining room. The two alphas were both at the huge dining table.<br /> <br /> Friday: Good morning Thaddeus. Good morning Maze.<br /> <br /> They had both given me permission to call them by their first names now. Maze looked nonchalant but his eyes never left me. Thaddeus grinned at me.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: What would you like to drink?<br /> <br /> Friday: Coffee! Really sweet and milky, please.<br /> <br /> Maze: That's childish.<br /> <br /> Was Maze trying to lose this challenge? Thaddeus ignored him, fixing me coffee as I liked it. Then he loaded my plate up with stuff, checking with me item by item. I could scarcely believe how attentive he was. I ate as much as I could. I was so not used to getting regular meals that I was quickly satiated.<br /> <br /> Maze: Clean your plate.<br /> <br /> Friday: I really can't. I'm so full. I don't usually eat regularly so my body is adjusting, I think.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Maze, today is not your day, so I'm not sure why you're talking to my Luna but I'm prepared to ignore you if you just keep it friendly.<br /> <br /> Maze: I am the Marigold Alpha. This is my floor. Where else would I sit and eat?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: In your room, to give Friday and I some privacy.<br /> <br /> Maze: Grrrrr!<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Grrrr!<br /> <br /> Friday: Hey!<br /> <br /> They paused, shocked I was trying to stop them. Both alphas turned their gazes on me but their expressions softened.<br /> <br /> Friday: Both of you should feel welcome in either alpha quarters whether we're in Marigold or Berryndale. It's a friendly challenge.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I'm sorry. It must be upsetting for you, even scary, when we fight, huh, little Luna.<br /> <br /> Maze said nothing but he sat back down and began reading the newspapers. I was on the front page in my outfit from last night with Maze and Thaddeus on either side of me.<br /> <br /> Friday: Ohh!<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Yeah, you're a star, baby.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus was dressed casually in a T-shirt and jeans. I'm truly excited for our very first date. When he pulled into the hotel parking lot, he finally told me we were going to a spa.<br /> <br /> We had to enter steam shower before the massage. Thaddeus turned his back so I could slip out of my clothes and wrap the towel around myself while he did the same.<br /> <br /> We stepped into the shower room. Lukewarm water and soothing steam streamed at us from all four walls and overhead. It felt amazing. My aching muscles relaxed instantly. I held onto my towel for dear life. Thaddeus was so close to me I could feel his body heat. He looked like he was carved from stone, perfectly lean but muscular.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: You ok, baby?<br /> <br /> Friday: Mmm, yes.<br /> Thaddeus extended his hand to me. I put my hand on his. He traced his fingers over my palm, looking at the bruises.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: How'd you get these, baby?<br /> <br /> Friday: I...fell.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Let there be no secrets between us.<br /> <br /> He leaned forward, nuzzling my nose with his.<br /> <br /> Friday: Ok, only if you promise not to do anything...rash. I don't want anyone hurt. I hate violence.<br /> Thaddeus nodded solemnly.<br /> <br /> Friday: Fang told me to get away from the pack house the night of the alpha ceremony. I was so flustered that I fell bracing myself with my palms. The next day when Fang came to get me, I was hesitant about going with him. He didn't tell me anything about a haircut. Then he carried me off and threw me on the porch so I bruised my palms again.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I would kill Fang if I knew you wouldn't mind. I would kill Maze too. I'm not afraid to go to war against your pack.<br /> <br /> Friday: I don't want anyone hurt.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: They hurt you.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus took my chin in his hand and turned my head so that I met his eyes. He looked truly heartbroken.<br /> <br /> Friday: No violence.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: You're the boss. I am your mere servant.<br /> <br /> I giggled but he silenced me with a kiss. His taste was somehow even more delicious than last night and his smell was more intoxicating.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: What are your parents like?<br /> <br /> Friday: They're like...alcoholics. Your parents?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: They're homebodies. They hate traveling. They like being at the pack house back in Berryndale lost in their own little retirement world.<br /> <br /> Friday: Do you have any siblings?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I also have identical twin brothers. They're annoying but not as much as yours.<br /> <br /> So he had heard of Fallon and Fargo. He had probably asked around about me.<br /> <br /> Friday: What are their names?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Titus and Timothy.<br /> <br /> Friday: Our parents all like themes, huh.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: We'll pick our own letter from a hat or something.<br /> <br /> I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to see what was under that towel but I'd only known this guy two days.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Little Luna, you are very special to me. I've waited a long time for you.<br /> <br /> Friday: You're not disappointed? Be honest.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: They've kinda brainwashed you. My pack is different. I know a few wolf-less members who are just the same as any other pack member. We share our town with humans and witches and wizards, even vampires.<br /> <br /> Friday: I want to meet a vampire and a witch and a human.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: So you shall, I'll make sure of it.<br /> <br /> I brought his hand to my mouth and kissed it. He brushed his fingers against my mouth, causing me to part my lips slightly. He pushed his middle finger in my mouth. I sucked on it instinctively, pulling it in and out rhythmically. I started to express my pleasure audibly and felt myself creaming in excitement. I stopped myself. What was I doing?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Very good, Friday, you're eager to show me your skills although we can't go all the way.<br /> <br /> Twenty-nine more days, I thought to myself.<br /> <br /> After a delicious lunch, we returned to the pack house. I almost fell over when I spotted my parents, brothers and Maze in the common living area. <br /> <br /> My Mother, Felicity, stood up to give me an awkward hug. <br /> <br /> Felicity: Congratulations, sweetheart.<br /> Friday: On what?<br /> <br /> Felicity: On becoming Luna! We're so proud. First a Beta son and now a Luna daughter!<br /> <br /> Maze stood up.<br /> <br /> Maze: I wanted to meet your parents.<br /> <br /> Friday: Wouldn't you have met them before?<br /> <br /> Maze: I met your Dad a few times when he was Beta to my father. I never knew them as your parents. I wanted to meet with them in that context.<br /> <br /> Friday: Ok.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus was looking at them warily.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Today is my day.<br /> <br /> Maze: I'm aware of that but this is your potential Luna's family.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: From whom she is estranged.<br /> <br /> Maze: And you don't want to fix that?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Only if Friday wants to fix it. It depends on why they're estranged and how they plan on treating her now.<br /> <br /> There was an intensely awkward silence.<br /> <br /> Friday: Um, today is Thaddeus' day so I think he has a lot of stuff he wants me to do.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Not necessarily. Talk to your family for a bit. There are strange bruises on my mate's palm. Have you seen them, Fang?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus took my hand and kissed it. Fang paled.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: As a Beta, tell me, what do you think the punishment for harming the Luna should be?<br /> <br /> Fang: What if the person was not Luna at the time?<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Answer my initial question before you ask me a question, please.<br /> <br /> Fang: The punishment should be whatever the Luna decides.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Luna, what should be the punishment for harming you?<br /> <br /> Friday: Banishment.<br /> <br /> Whoa. Where had that come from? There was a weird feeling in me. Something protective and fierce was stirring inside of me.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: The next person to harm the Luna even accidentally shall be banished.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus pronounced, looking at Maze. Maze nodded in agreement. I wondered if Maze realised Fang had caused my bruises. I wondered if he cared.<br /> <br /> <br /> Thaddeus left me with my family and Maze. I sat in an armchair facing them. Maze got up suddenly.<br /> <br /> Maze: Friday, I'll leave you to spend some time with them catching up.<br /> <br /> Friday: Thanks, Maze.<br /> <br /> My family members gasped at me calling the Alpha by his first name. My Dad, Farris, was angry.<br /> <br /> Farris: That's your Alpha whether or not another Alpha wants to take you!<br /> <br /> I stared at him, disgusted. Who spoke to their own daughter like that?<br /> <br /> Maze: Mr. Fenestra! Are you out of your mind?<br /> <br /> Farris: Sorry, Alpha, I was embarrassed by my daughter. She was raised better than that. We taught her to respect her Alpha.<br /> <br /> Maze: And she has done that. I asked her to call me by my first name.<br /> <br /> My family looked completely shocked.<br /> <br /> Maze: Perhaps, this was a mistake.<br /> <br /> Friday: No! It's ok, Maze.<br /> <br /> My father grumbled for me disagreeing with the Alpha. I was so angry. I wanted to make my family squirm. I gathered all my courage. It would be humiliating if he didn't react well but I thought I'd give it a shot.<br /> <br /> Friday: Wait, baby. Don't go just yet.<br /> <br /> Maze halted in his tracks. He stared at me like I was a lunatic. It was too late to back down now. I wrapped my arms around him, and kissed his cheek.<br /> <br /> Friday: I'll be up in a little while, ok?<br /> <br /> Maze: Ok.<br /> <br /> To my surprise, he put his arms around my waist. He seemed to enjoy being this close to me. He hugged me tightly and inhaled my scent. He kissed me on the neck. Tingles ran through me. He sucked the spot and nibbled it. Was Maze out of his mind? He took one last look at me and then headed upstairs.<br /> <br /> My family stared at me in total silence for several minutes. They were all dumbfounded. It was pretty satisfying to be honest.<br /> <br /> <br /> After dinner, Thaddeus insisted I come to his room. He said his day was not over until midnight. I had showered and put on a shimmery nightgown. His room was dark except for a single lit candle on the table.<br /> <br /> Before I could say anything, Thaddeus locked the door and pulled me under the covers. I squirmed, trying not to make a sound, in case Maze heard and they ended up fighting.<br /> <br /> I was trembling. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. He held me close, our bodies moving rhythmically together. I suppressed my vocal reactions, allowing only soft, muffled sounds to escape. My nightgown was discarded. Unable to contain myself any longer, I let out a cry. He tenderly kissed me, paying attention to each part of me in turn.<br /> <br /> His eyes darkened. He was letting his instinct take control. He reached closer but I stopped him.<br /> <br /> Friday: The rules.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Don't think I won't take you, Friday, if I feel like it! You're mine!<br /> <br /> That pushed me over the edge. My excitement surged through me, leaving me breathless. And his intense desire for me was unmistakably evident.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: I want you so, pretty little Luna.<br /> <br /> I was too exhausted to reply. My eyelids were heavy.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: It's almost midnight. Baby, I have to carry you back to your room. I'm sorry, we can't wake up together until the challenge is over.<br /> <br /> Friday: I thought you didn't care about the rules just now.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: We have to win the challenge so we can be together.<br /> <br /> Friday: We have to win?<br /> <br /> He took off his T-shirt and put it on me. It went almost down to my knees. He scooped me up and carried me to my room.<br /> <br /> Thaddeus: Seeing as you have my T-shirt, I want something.

There are risks with this product—the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threatening condition. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. Patients with these conditions before injection are at the highest risk. Swallowing problems may last for several months. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection-site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don’t receive BOTOX® Cosmetic if there’s a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions (including ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.<br /> -<br /> Intended for U.S. audiences only.
