Back Again

Alex Lunaria

Looking at the lantern behind him, I hit it on his head, making him collapse.

I took his clothes off hurriedly, wearing them and at the same time putting on his face armor.

No one could ever recognize me. This reminded me of my past life. After finishing disguising and dressing, I hurriedly walked through the prison.

"Hello, where are you going?" someone asked me. I faced down.

"I need to do something," I said, forcing my voice deeper. He nodded as I hurriedly rushed out of the demonic cave.

Confused about what to do, I saw some guards carrying a carriage. I hurriedly rushed to join them.

"Why were you late?" someone asked. "I was doing something," I said, forcing my voice deeper again.

"Is the carriage ready?" Nanazeen came out along with Ava, dressed in her beautiful colorful gown. "Yes, ma'am," she said.

" Yes, ma'am," some guards responded.

" Alright, everyone, I want you all to know what we are going to do. Entertain and focus.

Many of you do not have a mate anymore, some omegas, some rogues. I want you to focus on entertainment. Anything apart from that isn't acceptable. Is that clear?" She asked.

"Yes, ma'am," everyone responded before stepping into the carriage. Her gaze fixed on me as I walked towards her, and my body began to shiver.

"You look different today, Mosee," she said, looking suspicious. I couldn't utter a word.

"Are you fine? If you can't go, I can ask someone else to do it." Listening to those words, I hurriedly uttered some speech.

"I will do it, ma'am," I responded with a bit of fear, hoping she wouldn't notice the change in my voice.

"Hmmm," she sounded, gazing at me before entering the carriage.

"You may now lift the carriage," someone said. The carriage could be carried by four people, sometimes six, but this time it was four people.

I was on the left side, bending down my back to carry the carriage. It was so heavy that I made the carriage shake to the other side.

"Are you okay?" one of the guards on my left side asked me.

"I'm fine, please," I said, clearing my throat and adjusting myself to manage to carry the carriage.

Few minutes of walking into the woods, I could feel my energy draining. My hands began to slip, and I began to fear what might happen if the carriage dropped.

Looking at the half-moon about to come out, I laughed, hoping my mate could be Alex again. "We need to be fast," Nanazeen's voice sounded from the carriage.

I didn't know when I felt relaxed, mistakenly dropping the carriage, making it bend to the other side. Another guard hurried to my back, lifting it back.

"Go to my post," he yelled. I sighed, feeling relieved. It was like the Moon Goddess accepted my prayers.

I went to the post where he was protecting the maidens from any external attack. I looked at my hand, seeing how red it was.

After a few minutes of walking, we finally arrived at the Ashwood pack. I didn't know if I should be happy or not.

The memories of home began to flow in my head. "What's going to happen?" I questioned myself. "Pardon!" Ava asked. I didn't realize I had talked like a girl.

"Oh, sorry, ma'am," I said, walking away. As we halted right in front of the palace, trumpets and sounds were being blown.

The memories of home began to flow in my head. "What's going to happen?" I questioned myself. "Pardon!" Ava asked. I didn't realize I had talked like a girl.

I walked away from her. I couldn't allow anyone to spoil my energy. Looking up and feeling the cool atmosphere, I remembered how the pack was ruled by my father and then by me. I sighed.

"I will claim you back," I whispered to myself, looking at everything that had changed. Nazneen was exchanging pleasantries with Louis.

"I'm sorry we came late," she said.

"No, it's fine. Okay, the full moon isn't out. You may now enter," leading the way, Louis followed them in, seeing the palace full of different maidens, beauty, colorful gowns, and clothes.

I didn't know when I felt that this was supposed to be mine.

A lot of pleasantries were going on. Walking away to take some proper view, I saw a beautiful young lady with her white hair coming towards my side.

Taking a deep breath and looking so much like Louis, I stared in amazement.

"Stop staring," she said, standing. "Why are you here?" I asked her with my voice deeper.

"I'm tired of explaining pleasantries. I can't wait to have my mate and leave," she said, sounding frustrated.

"Being an alpha child isn't easy. Different things to do and all. I'm a gamma. Imagine the work I do," she said to me.

This gave me a spike of what Louis said the other day when he was drunk about having a bastard.

I smiled. "My life is a bit complicated. You are so lucky. I want to mend mine," I said, signing in frustration.

"Life can be hard sometimes, not go as we plan, but we can make it work ourselves. I'm Catherine. Nice meeting you," she stretched her hand for a handshake.

"It's a pleasure," I shook her hand too. "I wonder how you look behind the armor," she said to me, with her gaze fixed on mine.

"Catherine!" A lady with blonde hair, putting on a royal gown, called out. That was Sophia. My heart skipped a bit seeing her.

"Sophia," I muffled to myself. She was the Luna, just exactly as Louis said, taking my position.

"I'm sorry, I need to go. Hope I see you around," she said with a smile, rushing in a hurry to meet her mom.
