(Boris POV)
I never wanted Ralph to do anything to poor Ulva, it wasn't her fault she rejected me.
"You don't have to do anything to her. She's just a child" I said. I hope Ralph heard that.
"Let's put that aside for a second. Who is she? She has an Alpha blood in her vein" Ralph said again.
"Just let me go please. I didn't do anything wrong" she pleaded.
Ralph sighed and ordered her to stand. She stood and lowered her gaze, she couldn't even stare at him.
"Aspen, look into her family background. I want to know more about her" he said. Aspen nodded. He turned to me.
"What do you want to do with me?" He asked me. I stared at Ulva. She raised her head to also stare at me. Our gaze met and I could read her eyes.
"She didn't purposely reject me. Her step mother forced her to" I said.
"So, do you want me to deal with the step mother instead?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Just let it go. The moon goddess understand what's going on" I said. I was happy that he listened to me. He turned away from me and stared at Ulva.
"It's too late to drive you back home. You can go back once it's morning" he said, staring at her but she lowered her gaze.
"I can go home myself" she muttered. She was really scared of him, but she had the courage to reject his proposal.
"No one dares to reject my proposal. Aspen, take her to a room and prepare a bath for her. Make sure she stays her comfortably" he said. She sucked her lips, not wanting to cry.
Aspen led her out of the hall room, towards the stairs.
He turned to me with a frown, he never smiles at all.
"You've gone soft" I said.
"No I haven't. It will just be wrong for me to do anything to her when she's not at fault" he said.
"Fine, I have a meeting with my father tomorrow. I have to rest" he said and walked out of the house. Boris sighed deeply and stared at the stairs, wondering how Ulva was doing.
(Ulva POV)
I got into a very big room. It was decorated with mostly gold. I couldn't believe I faced the famous billionaire alpha today of all days.
"Got scared huh?" Marie asked me. I nodded and hummed silently.
"You can have your bath, I'll get you some clothes" Aspen said to me.
I nodded slowly. He took a step closer to me and touched my shoulder.
"I'm sorry you had to face all that. I'm also sorry for running you over today"
"It's fine" I muttered slowly. He let go of my shoulders and head out. I stared round my room again and went to the bathroom. I had a crazy shower. I haven't lived such luxury in my life before and I know I would never. I just played with the bubbles, until I heard a knock on the door. I wrapped a towel round my chest and opened the bathroom door. I saw Aspen. He was holding some clothes but he was distracted after seeing my body and my long hair, dripping wet. He closed his mouth and swallowed hard.
"Here" he said to me. I collected it.
"Thanks" I murmured and took it. I smiled as I closed the door. I was so hurt that I would be staying here for just a night but I wanted to go. I had no idea what Ralph would do to me. I quickly changed into an expensive looking black gown. I knew if my step sisters see this on me, they would go crazy. I've promised myself to hide it when going back home tomorrow.
I left the bathroom, drying my hair.
I saw Ralph in my room. I was shocked for some seconds and also confused if I was seeing the right person.
"I caught an animal, hungry?" He asked me. I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering what he was talking about.
He walked towards me, wearing a faceless expression.
"How old are you?" He asked me. I was shocked at the question at first, wondering why he's asking all of a sudden.
"I was Eighteen yesterday" I replied.
"You are just a child" he said. I hate hearing that word, child. Why do they keep calling me a child?"
"Yes, I am" I said quickly. What if I said I'm not and he tries to take advantage of it, so I decided to agree with him.
"Are you hungry?" He asked me.
"I guess. I only had mashed potatoes for breakfast" I said. He fummed and stared at me, giving a confusing look.
"Come with me" he said. I followed him behind. We got back to the hall room, it was a larger than a sitting room but we walked pass it and went to the compound. He showed me the animal he killed. I saw it and closed my eyes quickly. It wasn't something I'd love to see.
"I can't see that. It's..." I said and turned away from the animal.
"So then, you are not hungry" he said and grabbed a knife. He tore the skin of the animal, making the blood pour out. I scented the blood and sniffed in, following the trails.
He stared at me like he hasn't seen me before. Aspen ran out and also saw me. It was as like, they were staring at my eyes. They were gold, more like deep gold. I was so thirsty for the blood. I jumped on the animal and sucked out the blood. He saw me attacking the dead animal and nodded.
"Nice" he commented and left.

The next morning, I woke up quite early, get ready for you to leave.
Aspen walked into my room with some ladies.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Well, master wants these girls to dress you up. You.. you ..." He stammered.
"What? Dress me up? I what?" I asked all the questions at once.
"His father is here and he wants to show him that he already has a Luna" he explained.
"I can't be his Luna. I have to go home and make breakfast for my family" I said.
Aspen walked towards me again and touched my shoulder.
"Just do it Ulva, he's gonna pay you" he said.
"I'm not after money. Just find a way to sneak me out and let one of them act as his Luna instead" I suggested.
"Please Ulva, just do it" he pleaded again. I couldn't say no again to his pretty face. I nodded and sat on the bed.
"Fine, but all this won't repeat itself" I said. He nodded and left, while the ladies took over. I left like a princess as they dressed my hair, nails and face and almost other part of my body.

(Ralph POV)
I was with my dad, having a brief conversation with him. Aspen walked towards me and whispered something into my ear. I nodded.
"Let her be here in twenty minutes" I replied back. Aspen nodded and left. I stared back at my father and continued discussing what we were talking about. It was tiring to have him around but I loved it.
"So, where is your beautiful Luna?" He asked.
"She'll be here soon" I replied. He nodded and sipped from his glass. I sighed deeply and stared at the stair case. I was waiting for them to walk down already.
As I was about diverting my gaze away from the staircase, I saw the hem of a red gown. It was Ulva, she walked silently towards us and sat beside me, touching my hair. I wondered why she was doing so but I loved the acting.
"Seeing this makes me happy already" Dad said.
"Yes dad, she's very intelligent and beautiful" I said, staring at her purposely. I knew she'd like it but she also didn't like what to do to impress his father.
"Yeah" his father said.
"Let's have breakfast already, I want to ask some questions to your luna" he said. I rolled my eyes secretly and walked behind him. We got to the dinning table and sat down majestically. Aspen came to serve the meal. I turned my head to stare at Ulva and she was d*mn beautiful. I never knew about that till today. But I'm not the kind of person that falls in love. That's the last thing I'll do on this earth.
"Let's eat already" Dad said and diverted his gaze somewhere else. He started eating and faced Ulva.
Ulva smiled at him also and started eating. It was difficult for her to eat with the cutleries. She was happy that there was a spoon beside her. I watched her as she hid the cutleries and used her spoon. I couldn't laugh but I wished I could.
"So, why did you accept his proposal?" I heard my dad asked Ulva.
How on earth would he ask that. I thought to myself.
