Chapter 4: HIS MISTRESS
1113 Words
**REIKA/ZARA**
I eyed the man who stood before me, anger darkening his features before he turned to the lady who walked in.
From their dialogue, my name is Zara and I was the Alpha's mistress.
Oh my goodness! The moon goddess put me in the body of a sinner!
How was I going to take my revenge if I was shackled to an overbearing Alpha?
I remained silent as the woman who he called Sofia heaped insults on me.
I didn't care about them anyway, what I had to do was find a way out of here.
Where was I anyway?
“You want to go off and select another harlot at the Luna choosing ceremony?” Sofia barked.
Her screaming was beginning to get on my nerves as my body screamed for rest, for some quiet.
But my senses turned alert as she mentioned that word.
A Luna choosing ceremony. If that is exactly what my mind says it is then that's my ticket to revenge.
I watched as the man who I realized was the alpha, Alpha Stephan pushed Sofia out. The name didn't ring a bell as I knew most of the Alphas in the region.
What pack was this? Who is he? Why does he look so dangerous?
“Zara, what happened earlier?” He barked, looking like he wouldn't take silence for an answer this time.
“I...I blanked out,” I replied, hoping he'd accept it.
I searched the body’s memory for a clue on who exactly existed before me, but it was blank, an empty page for me to start afresh on.
Just for six months. Except…
“You mentioned a Luna choosing ceremony,” I quipped, raising my eyes to meet his intense gaze on me.
He narrowed his eyes, his arms folded across his chest.
“Yes. I'm expected to choose a Luna today,” he replied.
I dragged my gaze away from him, my heart thundering as I wondered how to pose the question to him.
This body was a mistress, will it be right to enter a Luna ceremony?
Well, if I didn't ask I would never find out.
Fiddling with the dress I had hastily put on I returned my gaze to him.
“Can I join the ceremony?” I breathed, my breath turning ragged as I waited for his response.
He was silent for two heartbeats, scanning my face with an unreadable expression.
“You said no when I asked earlier. Why the change of mind?”
I facepalmed myself internally, wishing I was slapping the former owner of this body.
How dare you almost give my chance away?
“I just want a chance. It's not fair I'm just your w***e only,” I replied, hoping he bought the excuse.
There was no doubt on his face as he nodded, sticking his hands into his pockets, and turned away.
“You can do whatever you want,”
I smiled happily to myself, turning towards the windows as I waited for the door to close.
My attention was immediately caught by the massive expanse of land spread before me.
Where exactly was this place?
I turned around just as the door slammed shut, rattling the hinges, and rushed towards the bedside.
I checked each compartment, seeing nothing but jewelry and trinkets. Nothing to indicate who the previous owner of this body was.
A knock drew my attention and I scrambled to put everything back in its place, forgetting this was my room.
“Come in,” I called out, taking a seat on the bed.
A young maid walked in, carrying several dresses on her arm alongside a silver crested box.
“My lady,” she curtsied and dropped the dresses on the bed.
Of course! If anyone should know more about this place then it was a maid.
“Hello,” I waved at her, plastering a warm smile on my face and hoping it didn't seem fake.
Her eyes widened as she limply waved back.
“Take a seat, please. What's your name?” I questioned, moving to create room for her on the bed.
“My name is Arya, my lady.” She replied, perched at the very edge of the seat, her face growing red.
What kind of person was I to elicit such a reaction from her?
“Arya, I fell some minutes ago and in the process had a slight concussion. I can't seem to remember any other thing apart from my name.
Can you tell me where I am?” I asked.
Her gaze immediately moved to my head before she met my eyes.
“Sure thing my lady. You are in Ravenclaw Pack, the largest and strongest pack in all three regions under the leadership of Alpha Stephan.”
I swallowed, my face turning pale at her words.
Ravenclaw pack was the most elusive and dangerous pack in the kingdom.
The only time its doors were opened to other packs was during ceremonies and events.
Alpha Stephan was known as the dark Alpha, feared for his strength and also his deadly rage which made him destroy without reason. How could I forget such crucial information?
I was reborn as his mistress? Oh, the moon goddess must be having a laugh wherever she is!
“What can you tell me about the Luna choosing ceremony? Alpha Stephan mentioned it.” I croaked.
“ It's a very unusual event, only happens when the alpha is yet to find his mate after 5 blood moons.
He was engaged to Lady Sofia for two years but due to her failure to give an heir, the engagement was broken and the Luna ceremony was fixed by the elders.”
I remained silent, my mind processing the information.
I had two agendas. Getting revenge, finding a mate, and getting him to mark me.
If I could play my cards right, alpha Stephan might just be the key to getting them all.
A mate doesn't necessarily have to be given by the moon goddess.
But to get all this, I had to become the Luna.
“Thank you, Arya.”
She nodded and stood up, going to the corner to drag a bathtub into the room.
“The alpha ordered me to get you ready for the ceremony. It will commence in an hour,” she stated.
I stood up, shuffling off the gown I wore, and stepped into the warm water, my mind putting schemes in place and a smirk spread on my face.
Reika is back to take revenge and the first on the list; Become the Luna to the most feared Alpha in the region.
