The Luna queen is back

Chapter 3

ENISA POV

I fidgeted a little as I made my way to where Iris and Vedica was. How could I forget, Vedica had told me not to leave her sight, I was to stick around and help them hold their shopping bags, wasn't that the reason I was here in the first place. They didn't notice when I came, obviously they were still not through with their shopping yet. I quickly added the shopping bag that had the dress that was bought for me to the ones that Iris and Vedica bought and took them to the car at once.

I came back and stood just a few steps away from them. Iris finally noticed my presence and shot me a deadly glare. "Where have you been? She asked and I was prepared for her question. " I took the shopping bags to the car." I said not looking at her. " Oh I know that , where were you before then ? She added and I was surprised, she had noticed when I had returned?

I suddenly went numb I wouldn't dare tell her I was busy shopping with a stranger. "I ....I went to use the restroom", I lied trying not to look stupid. Iris could detect a lie, right from when we were little I was bad at telling lies and Iris could always detect my lies, I just hope she doesn't this time.

"How where you able to find your way around here, it is such a big mall ? Iris asked shooting me a suspicious glare. "What if you had gotten lost? Vedica asked and I almost rolled my eyes. As if she would care if I did, they wanted me out of their lives and if not for father I would have been long gone.

"Mother if she gets lost wouldn't that be a good thing, we will never have to see her ugly face again." Iris said and they both laughed. I suppressed the anger that was growing in me and ignored them. After a while they were finally through shopping and soon we were on our way back home. We got home quite late and Vedica ordered me to take the shopping bags to Iris room.

I felt weird because I had never been to Iris room before. I took the bags and made for Iris room, I hesitated a little before opening the door. On entering the room, I gasped in amazement. The room was huge, a king sized bed was in the middle and a dressing table filled with jewelries was at the corner. A wardrobe filled with clothes stood by the dressing table and a chandelier hung from the ceiling. The room was painted in pink and white, I felt cheated, Iris gets all this while I sleep in the store?

I placed the shopping bags on her bed and turned around to leave, but then I remembered something. I turned back and rummage through the shopping bags and finally found what I was looking for. The shopping bag containing the dress the stranger had bought for me . I took the dress and left to my room. I couldn't stop wondering why I would be so lucky to get such a beautiful dress.

I found it strange to have warranted such unmitigated gesture, this expensive from a total stranger who I had no idea of. That was so demure of him, but should I be worried? No...the real question was, who was that man?

SILVERSTONE PACK

Prince Zaden pov

I stood with my hands behind my back and chest out while I stared at my father. "So you want me to get married to one of Alpha Garren's daughter so that you can have the stupid contract you signed for ? I asked trying as much as possible to be calm. " You didn't stop to think that I wouldn't want any of this, you just did whatever you thought was right ?

"What I did was for your own good son, we will all benefit from it" he said and I gritted my teeth in contempt as I gave him a deadly gaze. I hate it whenever he says such a thing because he never means any of them, he always does this and get away with it. " Now tell me father how does any of this has to do with me?" I said not moving a muscle and standing erect.

Father countenance had this sinister look, the one that always send cold chills running through anyone looking at him. For once I wished I could read his mind. "Why don't you drop this conversation Zaden? You are well aware that this decision of mine is not going to change." He said in a calm tone and I was beginning to loose my patience.

I felt Ryan my wolf growl inside me, he could feel the overwhelming surge of anger vibrating through my body, but somehow I managed to be calm and maintained composure. "And what makes you think I am going to scrumble to any of your demands father." I asked with a slight grin playing across my lips, I was testing his patience and it might not end well.

"You have no choice Zaden, do you? You know the consequences of toying with my demands, if I were you I will be very careful. A little trigger of my wrath!, and things might not end well. And we don't want that, now do we? He said looking so powerful sitting on his throne and having this overwhelming aura. I hated the fact that he always made me feel helpless, but not any more.

"Well then it is a good thing you are not me. This is my life father, I should have a say in whatever that concerns me. The moongodess always decided our mate so who are you to change destiny, for your own selfish gain, how cheap." I spat out in anger and his countenance change, immediately I regretted ever saying a word.

I knew this discussion would take me nowhere , but someone had to put this man in his place, but the truth was......no one could. "Getting married is not such a bad thing Zaden, the contract father sighed was a smart move." Aaron my brother said from behind me and I clenched my fist, he is lucky he is my brother, or else I would have given him a fatal punch. Short of words, casting a glance at my father, I turned around to leave.

I brushed past Aaron to my room, and when I got to my room I slammed the door. Ryan my spirit wolf unleashed himself, devoured with overwhelming anger which I have been suppressing, now in my wolf form, I destroyed everything I came in contact with. Smashing the window and my dressing mirror, everywhere was in a total mess. All of a sudden I came to my sense, seeing all the damages I had caused I suddenly snapped out of my anger.

" Ryan stop ! I commanded and he suddenly became calm. I watched as my fangs and claws withdrawled, I was now in my human form. I breathed heavily trying to get a hold of myself. I was seriously bruised and whimpered in pain. "Gosh Ryan why do you always have to be in such a bad mood" I muttered under my breath removing some of the broken pieces of glass that were stuck in my palm.

He was always like that whenever he doesn't get what he wants. "Being destructive won't get us anywhere, we have to think of something." I said already feeling the pain and injuries I have on my palm vanish. I was slowly beginning to heal, that was one of the special thing I could do....I was capable of healing my own wound. "I want my mate" Ryan growled angrily and I could feel his anger.

" We both do, you said you can't connect to her. She seems distant...as though she is locked up somewhere which you can't get through." I said talking about my mate. I can feel her, today her voice was yearning for me.

"We have no choice but to agree with father's words, he has been patient enough. I am next in line to the throne, if I don't have a Luna soon I can be dethroned, and we don't want that. I have to find my mate soon or things are going to get complicated." I said and I felt Ryan redrawl into his shell.

" I am not giving up on you Ryan...on us. You might want to know what I have planned as back up" I said smirking and Ryan suddenly became interested. "Spill it ! he said but I rather not. "Not yet, you have to be patient and watch out, because from now on things will go my way.

"You can't challenge your father master, how then will things go your way" Ryan said and I grinned.

"Who said anything about challenging him....all I have to do is play the next card."

"I can always count on you master, but do not go too far. Ryan said and growled , I sighed heavily and smirked, "I won't disappoint you."
