The early morning birds tweeted in the woods, while some flew up to bask in the early sunrise. Maya walked down the stairs to see Zing, and Grey seated in the dining room.She approached them. "Good morning," she said, trying to sound delightful."Morning," Grey responded, without sparing her a glance."Morning, Luna," Zing greeted with a smile as Maya took her seat. She noticed Grey was not in a bright mood, and she wondered what was wrong. Where was the man who was sensitive and suave with her last night? She thought as she took a sip from the glass of orange juice in front of her.Just then, Vivian walked in with a cheerful look on her face. "Good morning, Grey," she said with a smile."Morning," he replied, just as simple as he had answered Maya."Hi, Zing," she said to Zing, who raised his hand in a little wave. "How're you?" Zing asked."Very well, Zing," she replied, and went over to where Maya was seate

Maya woke up the next morning to find out Grey was not beside her. She looked away from the side of his bed, and closed her eyes again, and after a few minutes, she got lost in her sleep again.He stood in front of the waterfall, and she ascended from heaven. "Were you waiting for me?" She asked, curving a smile.He turned in her direction. "I had a feeling that you'll back," he replied, a smirk on his face."Hmmm mm," she hummed softly. "So, what now? Demons, and heavenly bodies cannot be in the same place without one attacking the other," she said to him.He chuckled, as he approached her. "You made that known the other day," he replied.She stared at him, noticing his way of walking, his eloquence, and his distinguished way of walking, as she vividly remembered his subtle techniques of fighting. She has heard of him from the heavenly Lord, but had never seen him. "You must be the demon emperor," she said to him.He had a smug

Was this karma or is this fate? Was all these meant to be this way? Maya pondered, as she sat beside river, her legs in the water. Was this all she would get while being alive on this earth? The pain, the hurt, and the anguish. Was this all what she would keep going through? Will she ever be happy? She mentally pondered, and a sigh escaped her lips as she lifted her head to the sky. She remembered what her mother told her when she was still alive. The moon goddess knows the fate of every one of us here. She designs our fate, either good or bad, Her mother had said. What if people don't like the fate she designs for them? She had asked as a little child. They'll have to accept it. They cannot change what has been designated from the start, my child, her mother had replied with a smile. Her mother's voice echoing in her head, as she pictured the day she said those words to her. Maya exhaled, her shoulders slumped. If to be hated and unloved was her fate, why did the moon goddess des

The neighing of Colan broke the camaraderie between them, and Grey looked up from Maya, as he let her down. Maya nervously rearranged herself, as she was putting on a dress."Why were you riding Colan, and not Cilantro?" Grey asked her."Jack said she was ill, and was being attended to, and I just wanted to mount a horse," Maya explained."I'm so sorry, alpha. I should have not allowed her ride Colan," Jack hurriedly apologized."I should have you punished. You are well aware of Colan's wild state, and yet, you made her ride on him. What if she had been hurt?" Grey demanded in a controlled anger."It's my fault, don't blame him," Maya said, trying to defend Jack."Take him away," Grey said, waving Jack aside, and Jack held Colan's reins and walked away.Maya stood in front of Grey, wondering what he would do next. "If you want to ride a horse so bad, you'll have to wait till Cilantro gets better. You're yet to maste

"Uh?" Maya asked, stupefied by Vivian's words.Vivian inhaled, and stared at Maya. "I've been in the wrong, Maya. I've judged you without getting to know you. I thought you were only an omega seeking fame, but, everyday, you prove me wrong, and I feel disgusted with myself for thinking you're not fit to be Luna, and ridiculing you. I'm sincerely sorry," she said apologetically to Maya.Maya stared at her, still surprised by the apology she was getting from Vivian. Was it not this same woman two days ago that threatened to put a bullet in between her eyes? Why was she apologizing to her? "Please forgive me," Vivian said again, an hint of sincerity in her voice."Uhm.. okay?" Maya said, quite unsure of what response it was best to give her. She was totally confused by this strange behavior, and apology.Vivian smiled. "Thank you," she said, and her eyes connected with Grey. His lips twitched up for a smile, but he immediately replaced it a
