I won’t give up
The next morning, she woke up only to see the bed empty, but her eyes caught a note. “I didn’t know he’d be this busy.” She said to herself before getting up to take her bath.
She sat on a chair in the dining room alone. She kept looking at the different kinds of dishes on the table. “How do they expect me to finish this?” She asked, still looking at the food. She couldn’t even tell the maids to join her because she had become Luna. She sighed before picking up the cutlery.
She ate for some time, but her mind was somewhere else. “How do I get information about the moon crystal pack when they don’t live with the other wolves? Oh my goodness!” She patted her head lightly, as she felt pain from thinking too much. Not long after, she heard a knock, and Maya walked in.
“Good morning.”
Good morning, Maya. Join me. Ellie said, but Maya was quick to reject her. “I’m sorry, I have to say no. You’re having a meeting with the ladies of the pack, and I’m afraid we have to leave now.”
“Meeting? What meeting again?” Ellie asked, surprised.
She replied before looking at her. “Just a boring talk over tea with some werewolves.”
“Wait. Why are you the one doing this?” Ellie asked, wondering why she was acting like her secretary.
“You should know already. Alex doesn’t trust anyone but me, even though the percentage of trust is so small. So now let’s go.” She said, but Ellie just sighed in exhaustion, resting her back on the chair. She stood up and followed her in silence.
They both walked into the garden, only to see some ladies talking and smiling at each other. “Great Luna.” They all stood up and bowed their heads. Ellie also smiled lightly before looking at Maya. “She really loves to be unique.” It was only Maya that was wearing a normal top and trousers, while all of them were in beautiful dresses. She knew that she was the only one for whom her dress would be different, but that’s what her style was, and she loved herself that way.
Ellie sighed before following Maya, who led her to her seat. She sat down and smiled again, but her eyes caught a particular someone. “What the heck is she doing here?” She thought, looking at the girl with disgust and anger, but was kicked out of her thoughts when she heard. “You’re so pretty, Luna.” A lady said it with a sweet smile, to which Ellie also replied. “Thank you. You’re also beautiful.”
After that, the ladies stood up one by one to introduce themselves. “So her name is Linda.” She said this to herself as she looked at the girl. It was the same girl who asked her for a dance with Alex.
“You really are so special, Luna. Having a white wolf in the pack is surely a blessing.” A lady spoke, while the others nodded in agreement.
“Having a white wolf in the pack surely is a blessing, but what difference does it make when the white wolf can’t transform or can’t use its abilities?” They all looked at where the voice came from. Ellie also looked at the girl before rolling her eyes. “Of course. She’s the one.”
“And who told you she couldn’t use her abilities?” Maya asked.
“You got me wrong, Maya.” Linda replied with that same smile that Ellie found really annoying.
Maya was about to say another thing when she heard, “Be careful, girl. You never know what might get a white wolf angry, so be careful with what you say, or you might lose that body of yours you think is so pretty to dance with people’s husbands.” Ellie said with a smile, shaking her head lightly at the girl. She smiled at the reaction she got from her, but she knew the girl couldn’t do anything other than keep frowning in anger.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“I think that will be all for today,” Ellie said, smiling at them before walking out.
They both walked out of the garden. “Wow! I wasn’t expecting that outburst,” Maya said with a smile.
“I know, right. How dare that girl think she could insult me anyway? I wish I could tear her into pieces.” Ellie said, still angry.
Maya did not say anything for a while, until they almost got to the house. “Wait. About the White Wolf. Don’t you think you should find out more about it?” She asked, but Ellie was just giving her a confused expression. “I mean trying to know more about your powers and to be able to control them.” She could still remember how she almost killed Agnes’s daughter because she wasn’t able to control it.
“I haven’t thought about that yet, but I think you’re right. So will you train me?” Ellie asked with a smile, but the girl quickly rejected her. “There are a lot of wolves that could help you train. Just tell Alex.”
“But I want you instead.” Ellie replied with a smile, using her shoulder to hit hers lightly. Maya just sighed before answering. “Fine.”
She was about to say something when she saw a familiar figure coming towards them. “What the hell is he doing here again?” She muttered under her breath, but loud enough for Ellie to hear. “Who?” Ellie asked, but she didn’t get any reply, only a frown from her.”
“Good afternoon, great Luna.” Darren greeted her with a bow and a smile.
“Good afternoon.” Ellie also replied, looking at the young man. She felt that she knew him somewhere, but she couldn’t remember where.
“Hi, Maya.” Darren said to the lady, who was just looking as if she didn’t see him. Ellie also saw the way Maya was acting. Suddenly, she remembered who he was-the same man that Maya danced with at the mask party held in the Supreme at the time when she didn’t know anything about werewolves. “The crush she wanted to have a dance with?” She thought.
“Um, I should get going. I’ll see you tomorrow, Maya.” Ellie said that and left, but not before winking. Maya was quickly pushed out of her thoughts. She was hoping to use Ellie as an excuse, but it wasn’t possible again.
“I should also get going… I have an important thing to take care of.” She quickly said, and she was about to leave his sight when he held her hand and said, “I just need a few minutes. It won’t take long.”
“About what you said yesterday? Is it really the truth?” Darren asked. Maya looked at him before looking away. “Hmm.”
“So you’re in love with that person?” Darren asked again, to which Maya also quickly replied. “Yes.”
He kept looking at her before taking a step forward towards her, making them closer to each other, although not so close. “Is it someone I know?” She looked at him again, and suddenly her heart started beating faster. She was so embarrassed, she couldn’t even bring herself to look away.
“I don’t see the reason why I have to answer that. I think you should focus more on your pack than coming here all the time.” Maya said, but he only sighed before replying. “You’re right. But I think my pack will be pleased to know why I’m always here. They all feel pity for a lonely and single alpha like me.” He kept smiling, showing his perfect white set of teeth that could make any girl fall, but Maya was just staring at him with no emotion.
Suddenly, he brought his face closer to hers and whispered, “You have all the right to always reject me, but I won’t give up. I’ll keep chasing you until you become mine.” He smiled lightly and walked away, leaving her standing rooted in that same spot.
“What the hell is wrong with you, Maya? He must have heard your loud heartbeat.” She grabbed a handful of her hair with two hands, screaming at herself without caring about the maids passing. “I need to find a way to stop this. He can’t keep doing this to me. You need to wake up, Maya.”
