I prepared myself for any incoming attacks. A guy that is taller than me with a brown hair and bulky body, launch himself towards me and about to swing his arm towards me.

Before the guards could land a punch they're immediately stopped.

"Stand down." I see Caesar slowly recovering and holding his nose while giving his order.

Among the crowds I could sense Riley, he's confused but then he see me standing in the middle of the room. Standing between two bloodied alphas and several guards.

"Amelia what's going on?" He used my disguised name and I saw him walking towards me past the guards.

Then suddenly I feel a hand grab my throat and I'm pushed until my back lower body hit the desk.

"You dare to lie to us and give us your false name?" It was Caesar who grab a hold of my neck. I'm unable to answer as I feel his hands tighten even more on my throat.

Hurt is evident in his eye. How dare he to pretend that he was hurt by my lies. He have lost his right to be hurt the moment he rejected me.

I could feel Riley's killing intent from our bond and it start to leak towards the surface. I know it took all his might to suppress it.

"Please take your hand off her neck alpha. Edith is her middle name but we all usually call her Amelia." Riley grab Caesar's hand, trying to ease the tension by explaining my name.

He took one look at me and I stare him back with all of the hatred I could muster. But at the same time I'm broken inside, moon goddess know that as much as I hate them I can't truly despise them.

We are supposed to be mate, we are supposed to be completing each other. So why did hurting each other are the only things we do.

My heart hurt a lot, my only wish is for moon goddess to take me right away.

But as for now, I need to stay strong, I can't let my mate or that Luna of them know how much this affect me.

I saw Michelle ran towards Claude, checking if he is ok. She proceeds to give me a stare full of hatred,

"Catch that bitch, she have hurt our alpha. She deserved to be tortured to death."

I was to hurt and angry to respond rationally.

"What? You're too scared to catch me personally mutt?"

"What did you say?" Michelle's face is full of disbelief. She is a Luna and not even a single person ever talk back to her.

Even her pack members are giving me nasty looks for disrespecting their Luna and beating up their Alpha.

"Wow, a complete package. Deaf and dumb, could Shadow Ridge's standard for a Luna get any lower than that." I taunt her even more.

"At this stage, anyone could be a Luna." After finishing that sentence I saw Michelle lunge towards me but was held back by Claude.

"You come here as a guest, we welcome you but you repay us by assaulting us and disrespecting my Luna?"

Claude voice filled the room and it's mix with his alpha power. The way he said that Michelle is his Luna hurt me the most.

"You forgot to mention about the part where I lose my wolf." I replied him with equal power.

"You also forgot to mention that your Luna have been degrading me since the moment we met."

I continue taunting them even more,

"Since the three of you are as shameless as you look let me teach you all a lesson. I challenge you Luna Michelle to a duel, I'll show you how low the standard of Luna for this pack."

"I accept." Without wasting another second she accepted my challenge.

Since I'm the challenger, Michelle have the right to decide both time and place for our challenge.

"The pack's front yard, in three days I would put you in your place you ungrateful bitch."

After that little incident Claude and Caesar dismiss all of their pack members while I retire back to my room and explain everything to Riley.

I ask him to keep it a secret from my parent and I ask him to trust me. I have a plan of my own and I will not shame the royal's reputation.

Riley decide to help me and become my sparring partner. I still have two days left to practice. Riley and I have been training non-stop to make sure I'm back into shape.

It wasn't till nigh time that we ended our training. Walking back to my room, I see Michelle in the hall standing still. I ignore her and continue to walk back to my room.

But it looks like trouble is what she aim for. She stood in my way and approach me as I walk closer.

"I know that you're the twin's mate." Giving me her widest smirk.

I just give her an expressionless face and just walk past her as if she's not there.

I'm fully aware that she is here just to taunt me but I can't help but feel hurt by her words. But I need to act as if those words doesn't bother me.

"You're done trash? Once we finish our challenge you can spew as much garbage as you want. But for now please keep it shut. It starting to smell horrible here."

Not giving a single look, I continue my walk towards my room. It's been 2 days since I last heard from Sierra. My head is empty now and it feels lonely.

But the good news is Sierra isn't completely gone. I can slowly feel her presence but it's not as strong compared when things were normal.

The next day came and all I do is train, train and more training. The only thing that filled my mind is to win and I need to teach those arrogant bastards a lesson.

I'll make sure that my mates will regret their decision of rejecting me. But as strong as I'm right now, I can't help but let my mind wonder about the possibilities of us being a normal mate.

I really wish it was that simple between the three of us, why couldn't they just accept me? Why couldn't they wait for their true mate and instead mark another? Would they cast Michelle aside and accept me as their mate if I were to told them I'm the princess?

But then, it wouldn't be right. They won't love me for who I really am. They love my title and that's about it.

Tomorrow is my last day to train so I push myself harder than usual. Night time came and I have no more energy left to train.

My body is so tense from so much punching and kicking I've done my whole day. Without realising, my feet take me outside towards the forest.

I breath in the fresh night air and taking a stroll to let some steam off before heading to bed. I look up towards the sky and I see it.

The Moon.

It's calling me outside, wanting to comfort me. As if the moon goddess herself was gazing down upon me. I just giver her my smile and I pray in silent, hoping for Sierra's return.

Then my mind take me back to that rogue problem. We haven't seen or heard any news regarding that wolf.

But Riley's speculation never missed and his intuition was telling him that the rogue was scouting us.

It's all stop when I hear a sudden movement of bush behind me. I become tense immediately and prepare for an attack. I can smell cinnamon from the bush, then a pair of blue eyes gaze at me.

There, stood Claude with his godly look. Moon goddess have to be so cruel for pairing me with a mate this good looking, only to have them rejected me.

"What do you want?" I'm currently on edge and I'm afraid to lose control and break down in front of him.

"I want to apologise, I.."

"Save it. I don't need it alpha." I feel my wall that I've build up for a couple of days slowly crumble down. I turn my back to prevent him from seeing my face.

Lower ranked wolf will call wolf that have higher ranking by their title. But when mates call each other that same way, it's seen as insulting.

"If that's the only thing you want to say than please leave."

"You're not giving me a chance to explain myself Amelia."

"Well do you alpha?" I explode when he complain that I didn't give him any chance to explain.

"Do you ever give me a chance to explain myself alpha? Both of you just rejected me without hearing what I have to say."

"Please understand the reason that we rejected you is because of our pack."

"I don't care, you can say that you reject me to save the world and I still wouldn't care. The fact is that you almost killed me and made my wolf disappear will never change." I shouted at him angrily.

By now tears have start to drop down slowly from my eyes. Then I feel another presence, it was Caesar. I cover my face not wanting to look weak.

A hand reach out to me to try to comfort me. I slap that hand away and it's belong to Caesar.

"DON'T TOUCH ME! YOU LOSE THAT RIGHT THE MOMENT YOU REJECTED ME!"

Hurt is visible in both of their eyes.

"I know you said you won't listen to us but I will tell you our reason." Claude continue.

"As much as you dislike it, you deserve to know. You're our mate." Caesar added.

"DON'T! Don't call me your mate." I reply icily.

I try to calm myself down and I manage to stop my tears. I start to listen to their reasoning. As much as I don't want to, I need to get some closure.

Taking one last look towards the moon and convincing myself that I'm strong enough for whatever shits that's thrown to me.

"Okay, spit it out!"
