The darkness that had been surrounding this place has now got replaced by the golden light which came from the sun.
The sun finally hit our world, by that time all the new citizens had already gotten out of their houses and done their stuff before getting the instruction from their leader Luna Mira about the thing that they should do for today.
I inhaled the fresh morning air when the sun came to us, my eyes closed as I felt the air get into my lungs, I released all negative things that had been stored in my chest, and now I felt so much better than before.
Both Harrison and his father pulled away from the location, they went to the checkpoint so that they can set up their plan.
My father then came and it made me wonder why he did not bring any brochures as Lord Harry La Luna does, he came with empty hands.
“Are you ready for today?” With a huge smile on his face, my father inquired, he was thrilled after seeing the billboard that lay on the ground.
“I thought we will get back to the city center this morning as you said! You didn’t tell me about this, father, why? I was shocked when I saw the billboard” I responded; waiting for him to answer after that, my eyes were looking at him in questioning.
“Sorry, my love, it just happened! Your grandmother was the one who set all of this! After getting back from the first location, she told our publicity man to print out the billboard” He explained and he kept continuing; my eyes still locked at him that moment, I listened.
“I bet it now filled all over the state! The queen is not playing” My father declared.
“So when will we get back to the town?” I inquired, trying to make sure that I still had much time to win the challenge from my cousin.
“Not sure, but soon” My father responded.
My breath gets heavier when my father gave me no sureness, he will kill me if I tell him about the La Luna just took advantage of me by challenging me to kiss Luna Mira’s son. I then forced my father to give me certainty.
“Soon, when? This noon, tonight… Please give me a definite answer, father” I said, frowning; I was concerned about the leaving time.
My strange behavior gained my father’s curiousness, his brow raised and he gave me a look as if he wanted my clarification, my father then asked me about my concern.
“You sounded concerned! What is happening? Does Harrison mess with you? I saw you here with him earlier” He punched me with a bunch of questions; I do not even know how to answer.
I get stuttered even before I could answer his question, my mouth hung and the voice that should have escaped my lips feel like as if it stuck inside, I suddenly can’t talk and my brain stopped.
“Elora, what is going on?” My father asked me again, at that time he had pressed his words, looking for clarification.
“N-nothing happened, father! I just asked the specific time because I can’t stand here anymore” I finally found a great answer to stop my father. “I want to go home, I need a bath!” I said.
Relieved started to fill my father’s face after that, he then told me that I can take a bath in the guest house which was located not far from here if I can’t hold it anymore. He then got back to our real conversation.
With a serious look, my father locked his eyes on me and gets closer to me so that the conversation will stay between us.
“We are not going anywhere until spreading the voting news!” My father whispered; his eyes running around the place to make sure that nobody is getting closer to us.
“We can’t leave this place and let the La Luna win” He kept talking in a low voice and I listened to him.
My father then told me that Mr. Connor had already done his job to gain votes in the first location. Turned out, my grandmother had told him about the plan and his pack will be happy to help us considering the Adrian family had been their ally for millennia.
With a huge relieved smile on his face, my father then lifted his face and smoothed out his suit, he was ready to start the day.
“The guards will walk you to the guest house! See you in the same location soon” Alpha Adrian stated, he then pulled away from the spot after caressing my head and went back to the billboard spot.
A smile immediately left my lips the moment I realized we will stay any longer here which means I got time to win the challenge and beat my cousin.
But how do I make Alpha Drax kisses me? Pressing my lips against his lips never crossed my mind, I might kiss him in my dream but in real life, I never think of that.
My cousin got me, he trapped me and made me have no choice but to follow the stupid challenge he made to keep my family name clean. Harrison La Luna psychologically attacked me.
The guards then came after my father ordered them to walk me to the guest house, there are two guards at that time and they were ready to take me with them.
“Lady, we’re ready to walk you to the guest house” One of the guards stated.
I said nothing and nodded after receiving the information from the two guards, these two men wrapped in bulletproof vests, making me wonder why they use that stuff when nobody in this place using it.
“Is the war on the horizon?” I inquired with a raised brow, by that time the three of us started to make our way toward the guest house.
“It’s for safety, Lady Elora” The brown-haired guard responded.
“All the guards will be using it soon!” The other guard who had black hair declared.
The conversation ended after I got my answer and we continue our way to the guest house, they said the location is not far from the gate but the fact said otherwise.
When the three of us almost reach the guest house that my father mentioned, I saw Harrison La Luna my cocky cousin had already taken his position to win the challenge; he stood in the Night-Blood checkpoint which was guarded by Luna Mira’s daughter at that time.
“Damn, he’s fast!” I mumbled and was shocked, never crossed my mind that Harrison will move this fast.
The two of them were talking, and Harrison made Demi smile, she was impressed with him, and sure, it could danger my spot to become the winner.
My cousin noticed my presence. He smirked at me while talking to Luna Mira’s daughter, Demi. He notified me that he will get the kiss before I could even see Alpha Drax.
“Son of a bitch” I mumbled in a low voice, staring at Harrison in disgust as I kept walking toward the guest house. “I will not let him win!” I said; pissed off.
The guest house and the residential area are just five hundred meters away from each other, the guest house can be found after the residential area which is why I didn’t notice this place existed.
The house is surrounded by green massive trees. It has a large yard which might be a field, the outdoor walls are patterned stone, and the roof is dark colored, this is not a guest house but a huge mansion.
“This is not a guest house! It’s a royal mansion” I declared.
The mansion is well kept as if someone lived there. I feel like this place has been prepared to be occupied because there is no way a huge mansion like this could clean itself. To answer the question that had bothered my mind, I then asked the guards; they must have information about it.
“Does somebody lives here?” I inquired.
“Nobody lives here, Lady! This place was untouched” The brown-haired guard replied.
“So why did this place clean as the queen’s palace?” I chuckled.
“Ah, about that, we cleaned this place after the queen make a circular that we will help these people...” The guard said.
“So some of you been here before us?” I asked again; by that time we had already stepped into the mansion’s yard.
“Yes, lady… We went here after hearing the news and went back to the town after” The brown-haired guard explained.
“Ah, I see…” I nodded.
The three of us finally reached the mansion's doorstep, my feet landed right on top of the doormat at that time, and the black-haired guard then opened the mansion door for us.
As the huge wood door opened, a luxury room that is neatly organized becomes our first glance; this place is even nicer than my parent’s house, just looking at the inside of the mansion made me want to stay there forever even if we got no lights, plus I can see Alpha Drax every single day even though we’re not talking.
The mansion has two floors. It was huge and designed like a castle. I can see the residential area from the second floor and spy on Alpha Drax and his girl.
I was so amazed at that time and it made me not realize that the guards had already pleased me to step into the mansion. It took two minutes for them to awaken me from my thoughts.
“Lady, are you all right?” The brown-haired guard inquired; he was concerned.
My mind which was in an empty place at that time suddenly returned to normal after the guard’s question got into my ear, I immediately blinked and ran my gaze at him.
“Yes, what did you say? I didn’t hear you, please tell me what you said again” I demanded.
“I was checking on you, Lady, are you all right?” He inquired.
A small smile but sweet filled my face afterward. I shook my head for being so dumb by admiring this mansion when the Red-Blood palace is bigger and more luxurious than this.
Honestly, this luxuriousness is new for me because I lived in a regular house just like the others. My mother and the queen didn’t get along so like it or not, our family had to live separately from the royal for everyone’s sake.
Even though I am the future queen of the Red-Blood pack, my childhood is not full of luxury because I was raised like a regular female wolf just like my mother who was raised by her mother.
I did not even realize that I was part of the royal family until I turned nine. On my ninth birthday, Harrison came with all the luxuries he was born with, he told me that our house is too small for him and he wanted to get off it as soon as he can. Since that day, I find him cocky.
Thanks to the Moon Goddess, my favorite cousin Christopher came that day and comforted me; we became friends that day, and he has always been by my side ever since, even though he has been busy since his seventeenth birthday. He then explained that I was also part of the family, no matter how small my house was, I’m a royal.
