It all happened too quickly.
Nobody had time to react
“WATCH OUT!”
Casper cried at the top of his lungs, rushing forward to stop Paya. And so did Save
But both of them were too late.
Priya was already at Balvina’s side, aiming that pointy bair pain at Babtine’s gorgeous face-
CLUNK
Balvina seized Priya’s wrist swiftly and–with one hard pull–the dangerous carpin in Priya’s hand dropped to the ground with a loud chunk
Priya shrieked
Her sick–looking face contorted in cage.
She used the other hand to pull Bahtina’s bair
But Balvina caught both of her bands in an iron grip and with one sight wist of e body, Balvina gave her a fast and clean over–the–strouider toront
BANG!
Priya’s bun landed on the ground barstily. Her slippers we finite in fear and landed on a guest’s head in the crowd
“AHH-
Priya let out a painful cry, tears rushing down her pale Creek
“She–She attacked me!” Paya sobbed “My body, my head everthing hums Of god. I am dying.”

“Priya darling!”
Lord Rolf rushed forward and held her daugher in his arms.
He snapped his head up and glared at Sabrina

Janet went to stand with Babina and looked down at Lint Rolff’s caging face. “With all due respect. Lord Rolf, your daugier deserved a slap in the face. The person she just attacked a moment before is the future Lute of the Boot Moon Pack You don need to be reminded of how serious that time is do you?”
Lord Rolf frome, looking morted.

“You are wrong!”
Balvina raised her voice and stared at Priya freezingly, “Even if I am not marrying Alpha Casper, I am also a proud soldier, a veteran! I have fought countless battles for this pack. I detended our borders. There are thousands of soldiers at my command! Your hired mercenary was not!
this pack, Lady Priya?”
Priya’s lips trembled, “1-1-”
in my eyes! What have you done for
“Let me remind you that attacking a veteran is also a serious deal.” Balvina said with a disdainful face, “So you better spill out why you were doing this before I lost all my patience and threw you into the cell.”
Priya shivered.
She stared at Balvina in horror and then looked back at her father, “Dad! Dad, did you hear her? She threatened to throw me behind the bars-
Lord Roll’s jaw tightened.
But did you really do it darling?” he asked in a strained volce, “…Christ. You can have any jewelry you want, darling. All you need to do is to ask me for it. But stealing from the future Luna? It is disgraceful-”
“I didn’t steal!” Priya yelled, “I am not a fucking, thief!!!”
“Watch your language darling…You are speaking in front of the Alpha and all those guests-”
“I am not a thief because that jewelry is MINE!“.
Priya breathed heavily, madness glittering in her eyes.
I AM the future Luna of Blood Moon Pack. NOT HER!!!!
An astonished gasp could be heard from the crowd.
And people’s first reaction was to look at their Casper,
They all knew what a fuckboy their Alpha was once upon a time.
It was possible that he had a secret relationship with Priya before and didn’t end it very well.
And now Priya was doing this for retaliation.
Casper rounded his eyes, and his jaw dropped.
“Are you fucking crazy?!” he snapped, “This is the second time we met! We didn’t even have a proper conversation for Christ’s sake! What makes you think you can become my Luna?”
“Because you love me!”
Priya panted, looking at Casper in a longing sort of way, “I still remember the first time we met… when my father introduced you to me in our living room…God, you are so handsome. Daddy said that you were there to discuss pack business with him, but I knew instantly that you were there for me…”
“NO! I was really there for the pack business!” Casper sald loudly.
Yet Priya didn’t listen.
She seemed to have fallen into some sort of an illusion and murmured dreamily:
“…You picked up my hand and kissed my fingertips. You looked up at me, your gorgeous brown eyes like ambers… ‘Lady Priya, it is a pleasure to meet you,‘ you
said…”
“Priya, stop!” her father begged her, “You are embarrassing yourself…”
“And my father asked you-”
Priya raised her voice and continued:
“– ‘My daughter is lovely, isn’t she? Would you marry her if you had the chance?‘ You smiled the most handsome smile and answered my father saying, ‘Anyone would be lucky to marry your daughter, Lord Rolf‘…You see? You proposed to me! I have been waiting for you to marry me. It has been years but why haven’t you come?!”
“You call that a propose?!”
Casper spluttered, going rather red, “If that is the case, I must have proposed to thousands if not millions of women already!”
Priya stared at him in a daze.
Then she burst out crying abruptly, “I know you played the field once… But I don’t mind! I really don’t mind! What we have is special…I–I love you!”
“Take her away!” Casper snapped.
A couple of soldiers rushed forward and yanked Priya up, escorting her into the packhouse.
Lord Rolf wanted to follow them.
But he first bowed to Casper and Balvina and said in a low voice, “I…I am truly sorry, Alpha Casper, Luna Balvina…My daughter has been sick for a very long
time…Sometimes she hears and sees things that aren’t real…I don’t think her mind is working soundly…”
“You should really get a doctor for her, Lord Rolf.” Casper said sullenly, “I will let it go tonight. But if she does this kind of thing again in the future-”
“No, she won’t! I promise! I will keep a close eye on her.”
“And you owe Janet an apology,” Balvina reminded him.
Lord Rolf gulped nervously.
He slowly turned on his heels, walked up to Janet, and lowered his back.
…My deepest apology, Princess Janet.”
He said lowly, ashamed.
“What I said was uncalled for… You were simply laying out the facts, but I let my anger cloud my mind and chose to overlook the facts because Priya is my daughter…I really hope you can forgive me…”
Janet shook her head.
She knew that Lord Rolf was a stubborn old pale, but he was not a bad guy. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Everyone got worked up by their fume tonight.” she said, “Don’t worry about it
anymore.”
Lord Rolf gave her a grateful look, “And I also shouldn’t have criticized your friends, Princess Janet. King Westin seems like a decent man…Smart and capable…if he is to become your husband, I am all for it-”
Janet cleared her throat loudly, interrupting his little speech.
“Well thank you.”
Westin grinned, having heard everything that Lord Rolf just said, “We will be sure to
invite you to our wedding.”
The thief had been found and the jewelry was back.
And people had seen enough drama in one night.
The guests all got into their cars, leaving the packhouse.
Casper held Balvina’s hand and headed back inside.
He patted Westin’s shoulder before going in and said in an encouraging voice, “Good job tonight.”
“Does that mean that I have your permission to marry Janet?” Westin asked playfully with a grin.
Casper laughed, “All I said was ‘Good job!! Don’t push it.”
“Well, I am glad that I can be of any help tonight-”
Janet listened to their conversation, absentminded.
She hadn’t seen Daran since they got back to the packhouse.
There was a time when she saw his face at the back of the crowd, but when she looked closely again, he was gone again.
Where was he? And why was he avoiding her?
It was the proof he found in the woods that led them to Lord Rolf’s mansion.
Why wasn’t he standing up front and collecting his credit like Westin did?
“…Janet?”
Janet was snapped back to reality.
Casper and Balvina were gone.
It was just she and Westin on the staircase now.
“Care for a night cup?” he grinned.
“…it is almost two o’clock. A bit too late for alcohol, don’t you think?”
The smile on his lips widened.
He took a step forward, closing the gap between the two of them, and playfully ruffled her hair with one hand.
“Then let us do something that is perfect for the night.”
He bent down and whispered into her ears, his voice sexy and hoarse,
,“…You can call the shot
here, my dear princess.”
