ENID GAYLE I paced angrily around my sitting room, waiting impatiently for my men to give me a call, Ximena had gone too far this time, this very moment was crucial for me and she thought she could just back down, and run away from me, after making a deal with me, never, I'll make sure to find her, and bring her back here.I picked up the incoming call immediately after the first ring, hoping they'd brought good news.I've sent my men to search around for Ximena and bring her back to me at all costs, no matter what it takes Ximena must be found at all costs, even if it means tearing the whole kingdom down, they must bring her back, finding another replacement will be a problem."Alpha, we just found Lady Ximena." Clover had informed me over the phone and I found myself sighing in relief, she's finally been found, she thought she could hide from me forever."Bring her to me.." I disconnected the call, tossing my phone away, I'm gonna deal with Ximena she should know I'm not the one to

MILDRED’S P.O.VI sucked in a deep breath as I walked down the aisle nervously with my newfound husband.The wedding hall was filled with different people from around the kingdom.I tried to keep my composure as I walked down the aisle, but I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I was so nervous, so scared. As I reached the altar, I saw him standing there, tall and imposing. His eyes were cold and hard, and I felt a shiver of fear run down my spine. I was about to be married to a man I didn't know, a man I had never met before, and my Alpha.“My Lord, do you take Lady Ximena here as your wife?” The elder asked as we both stood face to face with each other.I looked up at Enid, my heart pounding in my chest. I wanted to say no, to run away and never look back. But I knew that I couldn't. I was trapped, I had no choice."I do," he replied, his voice cold and distant.I chuckled inwardly knowing it was all a charade, the dude literally rejected me just a few minutes ago.I swallowe

MILDREDI groaned and rolled, fighting the morning sun. The bed was soft and warm, the room big and airy, but I just wanted to sleep.Someone nudged me. Then a harder push. I didn't like it. I grabbed the blanket and covered my head, wishing they'd go away."She's just lazy," a mean voice cut through the air. "A lazy, ugly nothing. Can't believe she's our Luna."I stayed quiet, pretending to sleep, but I listened."Always knew she was no good," another voice snapped. "Look at her, sleeping like she's nothing special."A nicer voice tried to defend me. "She's our Luna, we should respect her."The mean voice laughed. "I'm not serving her. She's not fit to be Luna."The room got quiet, the air thick with their words. I peeked out from under the blanket. They couldn't see my face, but inside, their words hurt.Then the kind voice said, "Let's wake her up, get her to breakfast."*I opened my eyes slowly, yawning big. The kind maid, Vanessa, smiled at me. "Morning, Luna Ximena. It's a beaut

MILDREDI broke free from Marcella's grasp as we got to the living room. Marcella's gaze momentarily widened at me and her cherry red painted lips crimped in disapproval, suggesting she was taken aback by my actions toward her.But I would rather appear rude to one of Enid's friends than be caught dead on the spot. I couldn't risk my family recognizing me.My gaze darted the entire living room in a futile attempt to glean the perfect spot to deck until I could figure out a getaway plan.Time seemed to freeze as I vacillated between scurrying up the stairs or slipping behind the gigantic flower vase a few spaces away. The latter seemed to be the safest option.I bolted straight away from the brooding family that bore nothing but pain and stealthily stood behind the gigantic flower vase. It was the only place I could remain unnoticed. Sauntering up the stairs was only going to steer my family's attention my way. And that wasn't healthy.But why were they here? Did they notice me during

MARCELLA"It gladdens my heart to see Enid this happy!" I forced a smile and let the emotions clog my throat. The emotion everyone misinterpreted as care. Enid and I have been friends since fifth grade and that friendship had thrived in a way that a very lonely part of me had prayed it turned to love. I had prayed on everything I held scared Enid be mine but the Goddess was as deaf as rock when it came to this one request.My dreams all failed when Ximena walked down the aisle to the love of my life. And she was going to pay for it. Every second she breathed I was ready to make it tormenting until she eventually let go of her reins on Enid. Enid would have chosen me if she did not reappear. I would have been the Luna of Moonlight Pack soon-to-be Queen of Selenia. But Ximena chose to steal that lifelong dream from me. A server appeared in a black blazer and an arm arched behind him stretching the gold tray our way. I picked out two champagne flutes, handing one to the girl before
