Music Recommendation "I Love You" by "Amma"
Belle screamed, this was not the reaction she had expected and she felt frustrated. She couldn't understand why her aunt was behaving this way.
"Why do you think the alpha would send us an invitation for a royal banquet ceremony to welcome the moon himself?" Her aunt posed a question to her, since Belle was not understanding.
The omegas were never invited to the gatherings of royals, no matter what, more than especially when that royal was the direct head of all werewolves pack all over the world. The alpha of all alphas, it sounded suspicious.
"Ma-maybe… hmmm… maybe, the lycan king just wants to get familiar with the pack members…" Belle stuttered, she too thought it was strange. Everyone knew how mysterious the lycan king was, but she just couldn't agree with her aunt right now. She was furious, and everything was because of Luna.
If only she didn't show up like she said she would and was not rejected in the first place. Belle groaned feeling frustrated.
"I don't care what you say or think Aunt Marion, but I'll be going to the banquet. Maybe for once only I can go and you can stay home to baby your sweeet girl."
Seeing the expression on Belle's face, Mrs. Harristone couldn't be more sad for her, the elderly woman said, "Do you know what kind of person the lycan king is?" questioned her aunt, in a gentle and calm voice. But it did little in calming Belle, because the girl snapped right back at her.
"And you do?" Belle asked her, Mrs. Harristone couldn't stop the gasp of surprise from escaping her lips, this was the very first time Belle talked to her in this manner. "For once can't you care about me too."
The two sisters had always been different with Belle being the bolder and more determined one amongst the two siblings. The woman knew out of the two siblings, it was the older sister who was more interested in finding her mate amongst the possible crowd in the banquet that was going to take place in the pack house, while Luna is a lot more soft and gentle, but this was the first time Mrs. Harristone was seeing this side of her, that it felt like Belle was getting tired. She felt sad for the girl but at the same time she worry for her.
As the tension in the room was suddenly growing suffocating, they heard a quiet voice.
"I'll like to go to the banquet, Aunt Marion."
The aunt and daughter duo turned to the direction of the voice, only to see Luna standing by the door. Belle and Mrs. Harristone both gasped in disbelief as they stared at her like they've seen a ghost.
This was the first time in weeks Luna stepped out of her room. The amount of joy, they felt was uncomprehend able. Mrs. Harristone and Belle had been trying to get Luna out of her room but it had all been abortive, which was why they were so surprised to see her. Luna had noticeably lost a good amount of weight in just that short time, she was never in the fatter side but now she looked so pale and tiny, her eyes appeared sunken. It was obvious she had cried a great deal from the swollen lines in her lower eyes and blood shot eyes.
"Oh my baby!" Mrs. Harristone exclaimed when she saw how little her niece looked like now, she rushed to Luna's side at once, "How are you feeling now?" Their aunt asked worriedly, she was visible relieved to see Luna outside of her room after two weeks since that day.
Luna took a step back, "Aunt Marion, I want to go the banquet ceremony. Can we go?" Luna asked again, but what threw Mrs. Harristone was the look on Luna's eyes. Despite how she looked timid and scared, she looked like she was not willing to take no for an answer. This startled Mrs. Harristone, Did something happen to Luna in the room? Or does she remember something from the past, she thought.
Belle on the other hand, had a guilty expression on her face, the moment Luna walked into the room, her younger sister looked weak, and she knew she had not been forthcoming and with her being the eldest, she was disappointed in herself but at the same time she thought it was all Luna's fault.
"Lune, hmm… did you hear everything I said?" Belle questioned, she felt awkward now that Luna was in the same room and with her sudden outburst. She wondered if Luna heard everything she had said, she hoped not.
Luna's tired eyes drifted to look at her sister, but she looked away immediately, she didn't want to see the expression on her older sister's face right now. "I didn't, I only heard from my room when you said the lycan king was coming." Luna said.
Belle released the breath she didn't know she had been holding all along. She was quick to bounce back to her excited self when she realized that Luna also wanted to go, Belle went over to her younger sister's side and hooked her arms with her before she turned to look at their aunt.
"See. Even Luna wants to go, will you really say no to us now? Please let's go Aunt. It is not every time we are invited by the alpha and get the opportunity to see what a banquet looks like." Belle eagerly waited for her aunt who said,
"You girls don't understand… you can't just go there, Luna, will you be comfortable seeing the alpha after the incident that night?" The elder woman asked Luna, she finds it hard to say no to Luna when she just experienced a traumatizing experience that could ever happen to a wolf, and because this was her very first request since that night. It made it the more reason why she could not say no to her. But the look on Luna's face was really giving her chills. Did Luna really remembered the past? the woman wondered, she couldn't help but stare at Luna, who said.
