ESTELLE
“No one believes me. Even Argon thinks I’m seeing things. I will shock them all when I fish out that beast. I will find where it’s hiding.”
I sat in the living room, flashing to my horrible experience with that beast.
Just in one night, it almost killed me!
Telling Argon and his Beta, Jerome, they both assumed I was drunk!
I am not drunk!
Even the stupid servants who where on duty at that time, claimed they saw nothing.
If they are going to stay blind to what is happening then I won’t join them.
“I just need a plan to get that monster. Since it’s after me, I’ll have to use myself as a bait to lure it out. It has no choice but to step out if it wants me dead, ” I viewed, making my plans.
I was supposed to be making preparations to head back home to my pack, but with what I went through, I decided to stay back and hunt that green eyed wolf down.
That’s the only way I can prove to Argon that what I saw wasn’t my imagination.
“I’ll be heading to the office now, ” I heard Argon’s voice outside the living room.
Seems he’s talking to someone.
I immediately got to my feet, approaching the door to check. There I met Argon talking to Jerome, sharing his plans to attend an important meeting with other top CEOs who witnessed his award ceremony.
“I need to get there on time.”
“I understand, Alpha. I’ll stay back and attend to the council members,” Jerome said, promising Argon.
He patted his Beta’s shoulder, set to rush out of the mansion but stopped when I stepped out fully so he’d notice me.
“No goodbye kisses? ” I asked, frowning at Argon.
“Estelle, I didn’t see you there my love. I’m sorry,” He apologized, drawing closer to me with a quick peck to the cheek.
It wasn’t enough, but I can manage.
“I’m off to work now. Just take good care of yourself.”
“Sure, ” I said, smirking at him.
Before he stepped out, Argon warned me about the Council members, advising I hide before they arrive.
Of course I wasn’t going to allow those oldies to see me here. I don’t want any issues for my sweetheart.
But still, when will he man up and tell them he’s no longer with Brielle?
I don’t think I can continue like this.
.
Nine in the evening, I was in the bedroom, plotting out my moves against that wolf.
I have been in the room since morning because of those old wolves. They took so long to leave, making me fall asleep, only to wake up around six in the evening.
I wasn’t expecting to sleep that long, but I guess my body needed it, since I didn’t get a good sleep throughout last night to midnight.
“This should help me in putting that beast down,” I smirked, lifting a bottle of wolfsbane in my hand.
“Once I splash it on the beast, it will have no choice but to change back into its human form, then I’ll be able to see who my enemy is,” I planned, placing the wolfsbane in my pocket.
I glanced over to the clock to see how late it was. Argon wasn’t back from the office yet.
This left me believing he’s on his way or he’s still tied down with work.
Anyone he does, he will still return back here.
Set to execute my plan, I stepped out of the room, making my way for the staircase, when something caught my attention from below.
There was a figure hiding at a corner, which led to the kitchen. I paused on my track to have a good look at this being.
Unleashing my wolf’s eyes, I saw that beast!
“It’s her, ” I gasped, staring at the figure that suddenly dashed off with speed.
It was the eyes that made me aware of what was there. Those two scary green eyes.
When I saw how it ran off, I immediately rushed down the stairs, going after it.
Seems I won’t be following my own plans anymore. It’s head on now.
“You can’t escape me this time around. I’m going to get you, ” I groaned, taking the route the black wolf had followed.
As I was racing through the mansion, Jerome came in my front, out from a room, and caused my feet to halt immediately.
“Luna? What is going on? ” He asked, looking surprised at the way I came running.
I didn’t want to tell him what was going on, since he’d just laugh it off like the others and like Argon, but that monster came standing in the open, right behind Jerome.
When I saw this, I exclaimed out at him, “Jerome! It’s the wolf!”
“Where? ” He asked, turning back to see.
But that demon had dashed off into the path at the left.
“I didn’t see anything.”
“That’s because it ran that way! Come with me! ” I ordered, dragging Jerome by the hand so he’d follow me to catch up with this beast.
We both rushed through the path, but came to a dead end.
There was just a wall before us.
“How’s that possible?” I asked, finding it hard to believe.
Sighing out, Jerome said, “Luna, can you please end this? I really don’t like this tale about a green eyed wolf. ”
“This is not a story, you dimwit! There’s a green eyed… THERE! ”
I pointed at the other path behind us and saw the wolf racing into another path.
Without delaying, I went after it, leaving Jerome behind.
He doesn’t believe me.
But when I get that wolf, they’ll all listen to me the next time I warn them about something.
“Luna!” Jerome called from behind while I raced down the pathway, chasing that monster.
I could now see it clearly!
It was right in my front, dashing ahead with speed into a wide path.
“I’m not going to lose you this time around. You can’t escape me!” I applied my speed, chasing this monster.
The moment this black wolf took a swift turn into another path at the right, someone came walking out, causing me to freak and lose my balance.
I staggered towards this person, who immediately held me, saving me from crashing hard.
“Luna Estelle, are you okay?” Brielle asked.
She was the one who came out from the same route that wolf just entered not too long.
How… How come?
“Is everything alright? You’re looking scared, ” Brielle asked, hovering her gaze around my face.
Seeing she was holding me, I furiously pulled myself out of her hold, pushing her back.
“Hey! ” She uttered, staring in surprise.
“Luna!” Jerome called from behind, revealing how close he was to me.
“Where’s that beast? Where did it go?!” I questioned, looking at the pathway at the right, only to find it empty.
This was unbelievable, because this route had no turning until you arrive at the end.
It’s a long path.
I know what I’m saying.
“No, it came this way before you…” I faced Brielle, reminiscing on how she came out from the pathway the moment that black wolf dashed through swiftly.
“This can’t be. The timing was so fast. She couldn’t have walked pass that beast without seeing it. She would have screamed or gotten attacked by it. Could I be hallucinating? No, I can’t. There’s a green eyed wolf,” I pondered in my mind, worried about my senses.
Jerome drew closer to us and asked Brielle, ” Are you okay?”
She nodded, wrapping her arms across her chest.
“I was just coming and she ran into me. I asked what was wrong, but she pushed me,” Brielle narrated to Jerome like an innocent soul.
That only added to my frustration just by looking at her.
“Wait a minute,” I uttered, staring hard at Brielle.
“Aren’t you supposed to be locked up? Why are you here? ” I questioned.
What caught my attention again was the black robe in her hold.
“Why do you have that? ” I questioned, suspecting her.
“Luna, you need to calm down. Alpha Argon ordered for her release this morning, so she’d resume her work,” Jerome explained.
I wasn’t pleased to hear that.
Argon didn’t tell me anything!
“And the robe? What are you doing with it? ” I asked, pointing at it.
Brielle lifted the robe, revealing it to be mine.
“You added it among the clothes you ordered me to wash. I just brought it out from the dryer.”
“Is that the truth? Or you’ve been wearing it to scare me? ”
“What? ” Brielle uttered, lifting her brow in amusement.
“You are that wolf who has been chasing me around all night. You’re the green eyed wolf! ”
“Green eyes?” Brielle’s eyes grew large, looking directly at Jerome in confusion.
“What… I… Is this some kind of joke? A green eyed wolf? That’s impossible. There’s no such thing as a green eyed wolf.”
“That’s because you made that up, trying to scare me!” I groaned, hitting Brielle against the shoulder, causing her to stagger away from me.
Jerome immediately intervened, telling me to stop.
“I’ve told you before, Luna. There’s no green eyed wolf!”
“That’s because she was the one posing as the beast to get back at me! ” I yelled, standing my ground with my eyes darting at Brielle.
“She couldn’t bear the fact that her dream life was taken from her, that’s why she tried to mess with my senses, ” I said, smirking at Brielle.
Her eyes came welling with bitterness. She swayed her head the other way, just to avoid eye contact with me.
“You can’t accuse her, Luna. She has been in the basement all night. It was this morning she came out to work, ” Jerome said, defending Brielle.
Despite listening to Jerome and seeing that Brielle wasn’t the culprit, I still wanted her to take the blame for my madness.
I want to believe what I saw was a prank pulled up by someone to get back at me. And the only person I can pick for that act is Brielle.
“Whatever,” I said, grabbing the robe from her hands.
“You better stay in your lane, because the next time I get you trying to pull this kind of trick, you’ll be sorry, ” I threatened, walking away.
Now I was beginning to feel like a fool.
I should have noticed that something was off when the wolf took a turning to that left path with no way.
I think I’m going crazy!
“It’s okay, Estelle. You are not insane. You were being pranked by someone. Don’t let it get to you, ” I comforted myself, making my way back to my room.
.
Two days later, back at Red Wood pack, I got a call from my manager.
We’re finally hosting a grand modeling show in Red Wood pack, with thousands of guests coming over to watch me, Estelle the great, walk down the runway with my beautiful body.
“That’s great! When is it taking place?” I asked, getting excited while hopping around my father.
He didn’t go to the office.
His face came brightening when he heard about the modeling show.
“Oh, in four days? Preparations are almost done? That’s great! I’ll come over to the venue to see how things are going. Yes, thank you, ” I appreciated, ending the call with my manager.
“YES!” I shrieked out in joy, hugging my father.
He was very happy.
“At last, the whole of Red Wood and neighboring packs will witness my daughter in style. My beautiful Estelle.”
“Thank you, Daddy,” I appreciated, hugging him tight.
I was super happy because I don’t have to go very far from home and from my Argon.
I’ve been moving from one city to another, showcasing my talent and gaining more popularity.
But now that it’s going to be taking place here in my home pack, I’m overwhelmed with happiness.
“I have to go and share this with Argon,” I decided, making my move.
“Why not on the phone? ” Father asked, feeling it would be best if I just call him and share the news.
But I want to see my sweetheart’s face expression when I tell him this good news.
I can’t miss that.
Filled with excitement, I drove down to Argon’s mansion and met him having a discussion with Jerome.
Before them, was that wretch called Brielle, serving them both.
When Argon saw me, he happily got to his feet and came before me with open arms.
“My love, you’re here? ” He uttered, looking at my face.
That’s when I delivered the news to Argon, leaving him thrilled.
“That’s so great! ” He cheered, lifting me off the ground and twirling me around.
I laughed out with joy, holding him close.
“That’s great! We need to get you ready for the big day. Oh goodness! This is so good, ” He rejoiced, feeling great.
My Argon rarely attends my show due to work. But now that the modeling show is taking place at my pack, he can easily come.
“Tell me what you need, and I’ll give it to you, ” He offered, cupping my face.
Pleased, I tabled one of the important thing a superstar like myself need.
“I need a maid who will work with me twenty four seven. Well not really twenty four seven since the show is in four days, but someone who will attend to work while I’m busy. ”
“Is that all? ”
“Just that for now,” I said, poking Argon’s nose lovingly.
Delighted, Argon suddenly turned back and called out to Brielle.
She paused what she was doing and stared at us.
“Yes, Alpha?”
“From now on, you’ll work with Estelle as her right hand maid. You will listen to her every demands, ” Argon passed his order.
I was amused and also pleased with this.
“Huh? ” Brielle uttered, looking stunned by this decision made by Argon.
“What? Didn’t you say you want to make me happy by fulfilling my father’s wish? Then do as you have promises. You are going to be with Estelle from now on, attending to all her needs. Is that clear?” He glared at her.
With no other choice, Brielle bowed her head in submission, accepting the order.
“My right hand maid is this fool? Perfect. I’m going to make her sweat.”
